Kane has never held the WCW Championship, ever. The only World title Kane has ever held was the WWF Championship for that little while which truly sucks ass. He needs to win the WWE or World title something in the new future dammit! As for monday, I can't wait to see which wrestlers comes over to my show SmackDown!. I wonder what matches they're gonna have on Raw sence everything is about the lottery.

kk. Thanx for clearing that up. Its just i remember an epsiode of RAW where Stone Cold stated a list of WORLD/WCW champions, and Kane was one of em. Whatever.......

DO NOT BRING BACK STEPHANIE!!! Smackdown sucked sooooooooooo much when she was the GM, Heyman is perfect, because with him and Bischoff as GM's it looks cool to have the owners of WCW and ECW in the palm of Vince McMahon. I wouldn't mind seeing Shane, but he has a baby now, so I doubt it.

I agree with everything you said. Steph was anoying when she was GM of Smackdown, and Shane is a father now, and should be spending time with Marissa and his baby(BTW, anyone ever hear what Shane named the kid???).

Various WWE shows to possibly no longer air in Canada(This would suck shit!):

Due to similar style television networks in Canada (Men TV and TSN), and the former license with TNN, SpikeTV may lose its' broadcasting license in the Canadian area. If this were to happen, fans would miss out on Heat, Velocity, Confidential, and any WWE specials that would normally air on SpikeTV. RAW wouldn't be effected since it airs on TSN, but the others would. Canadian fans can speak out on this to prevent it from happening by emailing procedure@crtc.gc.ca, by fax at (819) 994-0218, or by postal mail at CRTC, Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0N2. The deadline for contacting the CRTC regarding the issue is May 17th.

Official WWE RAW Preview:

From WWE.com

A new day is dawning for World Wrestling Entertainment, and RAW will be the starting point when every WWE Superstar will be in attendance for a lottery that will shake the very foundation for both RAW and SmackDown! Rivalries will end, partnerships will be split, and depending on the luck of the draw, Championship reigns could come to an end. Mr. McMahon declared that he wanted a shake-up and on RAW next week, that shake-up will occur as no WWE Superstar will be exempt from the lottery. Have we seen Evolution together for the last time? Have rivalries such as that between Mick Foley and Randy Orton or Chris Jericho and Christian ended suddenly? What will happen to Champions such as Chris Benoit and Eddie Guerrero if they are drafted to the other roster? Will they have to forfeit their Championships?

Also, last week, Randy Orton challenged Mick Foley to a one on one match to prove once and for all that he is the better of the two. While Foley did not have a verbal response to Orton’s challenge, his actions may have spoken volumes when Foley interfered in Evolution’s match against Chris Benoit & Shawn Michaels last week and went right after Orton. If Foley and Orton are indeed on the same roster, will Foley accept Orton’s challenge? Only one way to find out watch RAW next week! All of this and more on RAW at 9/8 CT on Spike TV!


Mick Foley has agreed to stay with WWE for another month to face Randy Orton at Backlash.


The only NFL teams to express interest in Brock Lesnar are the Washington Redskins and the Minnesota Vikings.


The Rock isn't scheduled to be part of WWE television any time in the forseeable future.


The WrestleMania XX DVD will be a three-disc set.


Edge's biography "Over The Edge" is expected to be released in November.

Stephanie was actually a pretty good GM until the whole Mr.America/Zach Gowen/Vince McMahon bullshit got started. Than SmackDown! went downhill from there.

Anyways, Lottery tonight! I can't wait to see the new rosters.

Kane...Undertaker...I think this will probably jump off...I look for the Undertaker to be the last thing on Raw just like on Smackdown, tho perhaps not..

heheehe, i like ur avatar blade. And yea, it would be awesome to c Kane and Taker in the same ring again.......

The 'Rumors' right now going around are Too Cool going to Raw, Booker T, RVD, La'Goof's going to Smackdown!

Only rumors tho...also a STRONG rumor of Steph is going around...

Yeah, Raw is going to rock tonight. Hey I'm trying to get the mods to sticky this thread, anyone like the ideam or think I'm wasting my time? I just want all wrestling topics to be posted here, that was the idea behind this thread. Oh well, I'll the news tomorrow.

I think ECW will come back soon.Maybe the new lottery will be about some wrestlers going over to the new ECW and some of them going to the WWE.

I cant help it I have to say it:"OH MY GOD!"That has to be one of the funniest moments in the WWE.

So

Smackdown now has:
Rene Dupree
Mark Jindrak
HHH
RVD
Theodore R. Long
Spike Dudley

Raw now has:
Shelton Benjamin
Nidia
Rhyno
Tajiri
Edge
Paul Heyman?!

Don't forget that Vinnie is going to have a special announcement on wwe.com

Well I know most people don't like Triple H,but I do and I feel he will be wasted on smackdown. I mean I'm not trying to overlook the talent the smackdown locker room has,but Triple H is a "big man". there are not enough "big men" for him to match up against. I mean he could put on a good match with Angle,Eddie,Cena,and Taker but thats about it. I know Show is a "big man" but i don't consider slobering on yourself talent. You can also see that Triple H wasn't too pleased and didn't really take the title match seriously. Yeah he did sport a smackdown shirt,but did you see how he acted in the ring. He just put half his effort into it if that. When he had matches for the Raw World Title he put all his effort into it and you could tell. I know having sway backstage is looked down upon,but i really hope he can use his pull to get back on Raw. I was really looking foward to seeing future Tiple H/Benoit matches.

RAW to Smackdown:
Rene Dupree
Mark Jindrak
HHH
RVD
Theodore R. Long
Spike Dudley

Smackdown to RAW:
Shelton Benjamin
Nidia
Rhyno
Tajiri
Edge
Paul Heyman

Man what the hell is this? The only big trades are HHH, RVD and Edge, the rest of those wrestlers are gonna end up on heat or velocity, damnit. And where was the Undertaker?

Well it looks like a new Gm on Smackdown. Hmm, I wonder if their last name is McMahon and first initial is S.?.....Another thing I've noticed, "I'm free of HHH! Let the celebration begin!" Now all we need is Orton to get a nice push....It's a shame though, seeing Theodore Long go, since there isn't anyone black on Smackdown, so who is he going to manage? Well at least we have ECW to look foward to, so I'm happy.

So SmackDown! gets Triple H? wow, I didn't expect that. I just fuckin wish he doesn't hog up the WWE title like he did the World title.

HELL YES! I'am glad RVD is on SmackDown!. he'll fit real perfect their IMO.

All the guys that jumped to Raw I don't care about. so buh bye

If anyone watched Raw, was Undertaker standing in the SmackDown! locker room during the show?

He wasn't there. If he was, he would have joined in on the braw at the end of the show. Hell, I wanted me a piece of that brawl myself! Could have used the exercise.

Oh well.

I'm Ghost!

Hopfully that means Undertaker is still a Smackdown! superstar.

That was so freakin hilarious when Stone Cold rode out on his ATV and led the RAW superstars to the brawl. hmmmm. I wonder who else is gonna switch.......

I was expecting some titles to switch sides and I thought there would be more rounds. I liked the midcard trades: Benjamin, Dupree, Rhyno & Jindrak.

The three that were in tag teams should do better on their own. Dupree has to get a new move because you cant have a Death Valley Driver & The F-U on the same show. Then again Smackdown now has the 5*Frog Splash.

Rhyno should turn face and get a push for the Intercontinental. He's been losing long enough.

RVD better get a title shot in the next couple months or at least a credible rivalry. Maybe
Angle or Big Show.

Theodore Long should run Smackdown. He can't be doing much other than managing someone. Smackdown only has Shaniqua & Orlando Jordan. Unless Faarooq's firing was a plot device Long won't be managing.

i hope steph or shane mcman comes back as the gm

WHOA! DRAFT ON SMACKDOWN!

Well, I didn't see any of this above, but Mr McMahon announced the following:STATEMENT FROM MR. MCMAHONEarlier tonight, Paul Heyman - the former General Manager of SmackDown! - was drafted by RAW and subsequently quit. Therefore, due to the absence of a GM on SmackDown!, I have extended the trading deadline to 9 p.m. ET Tuesday, at which time a new GM of SmackDown! will be announced, and that new GM of SmackDown! will in fact announce all trades.
Thank you.

As for my thoughts, I agree with a lot of what you guys above me said. HHH to Smackdown is huge, especially since Stephanie will probably get this role...but then again, it's the WWE..and 'You never know' what is going to happen..

I did not write the "anti-steph" stuff in that post you quoted, that was done by anti-G (or something like that). the firsat paragraph was me the second wasnt.

Anyone know where I can find Nidia pics? I can't find any anywhere.

I'm a little upset about RVD going to Smackdown, but I really wanted him to go on his own again so it's alright. Glad to see Edge back. Rhyno needs a push, he hasn't had one since he first came and deserves it.
