The Raw 15th Anniversary Thread

[pennywisealfie]

so vinnie mac is going to announce who is raws greatest ever superstar at the 15th anniversary show, who do you think it will be.

now unless there was some poll on some website (and if thats the case i think stone cold wins) but i cant see vince naming anyone but himself in true "Mr McMahon" style.

who do yall think he will announce?

 

[Matt23]

He'll announce himself, we all know what Vince is like, but in reality it should either be The Rock or Stone Cold.

 

[DeeGan]

HHH, Stone Cold or The Rock.

Alternatively, from what I read on this forum isn't there an "angle" being looked at between Michaels and HHH? This could be the start of it where Michaels is named it and HHH returns to being a heel and is hellbent on proving he is indeed the greatest.

Food for thought.

Stone Cold. The WWE would not be like it is without him!

 

[PARANoIR]

The votes are already in. Undertaker won. John Cena second :lol:. Rocky third. Austin fourth.

Rumour has it the votes were rigged.

McMahon will make his own announcement on the show. It's likely to be him and the show will end with him getting Stunnered, Leg Dropped etc.

 

[Baron Vo Mandor]

Rubbish! SCSA by a landslide.

 

[DB]

they have been rigged.

Greatest raw match was HBK vs Cena in England, but it was actually Beniot vs Angle. And also Lita was voted hottest diva, but they have changed it to Trish Stratus. I will grab the article about it.

 

[DB]

"Raw has had thousands of matches, but tops on your list, with 24.2 percent of the vote, was John Cena and Shawn Michaels' nearly hour-long epic classic in the U.K. on the April 23, 2007 edition of Raw. Coming in second, at 19.6 percent, was "Stone Cold" Steve Austin's battle with Kane for the WWE Title in 1998, followed by Jeff Hardy and Undertaker's 2002 Ladder Match at 17.61 percent."

According to the real poll results on WWE.com, the Kurt Angle vs. Chris Benoit steel cage match that took place on June 11, 2001 was voted as the greatest match in Raw history with 32.33 percent of the vote. The Cena vs. HBK match didn't even finish in second place as that distinction goes to the "Stone Cold" Steve Austin vs. Kane WWE Title match that took place the night after King of the Ring '98, which took home 26.09 percent of the vote. Cena vs. HBK actually finished in third place with 11.34 percent of the vote. Additionally, the Jeff Hardy and Undertaker Ladder Match in the summer of 2002 only garnered 6.89 percent of the vote, not 17.61 percent, not to mention that it finished in fourth place, not in third place.

The 'Greatest Match' poll wasn't the only poll rigged on WWE.com as the results for Raw's 'Hottest Diva' were rigged as well. Here is what they wrote regarding 'Hottest Diva':

"For our fans, it was "100% Stratusfaction" when deciding Raw's Hottest Diva. Seven-time Women's Champion Trish Stratus took top honors in the voting with 20.8 percent of the vote.

The four-time Women's Champion Lita came in second with 14.6 percent, and Candice Michelle finished third with 11.8 percent. There's really no loser in this category, however. All the Divas are smokin'! We all win."

According to the real poll results on WWE.com, Lita was the legitimate winner of the poll, not Trish Stratus. Trish didn't even finish in second place in the poll as that distinction goes to Mickie James. According to the real poll results, Lita came in first place by a mile with 34.77 percent of the vote. Mickie James, who is not even mentioned in WWE's blurb, finished in second with 21.79 percent. Trish actually finished in third place with 12.18 percent of the vote, but was deemed the winner of the poll by the WWE overlords anyway. Candice Michelle actually had a low vote tally with a 4.26 percent vote total. Mickie James garnered over five times the amount of votes of Candice, but is not even mentioned in the blurb on WWE.com. Melina and Torrie Wilson also finished ahead of Candice.

As far as the other poll results are concerned, they appear to be legitimate as the results listed on WWE.com match up with the actual poll results.

Just like they rig their Cyber Sunday polls.

Lita the hottest diva LOL, I've seen better looking chicks in trailer parks and on Jerry Springer

 

[ParraDude_Jay]

Lita the hottest diva LOL, I've seen better looking chicks in trailer parks and on Jerry Springer

I still would :sarcasm:

 

[Jono078]

I was a big fan of Lita, looks and wrestling ability.

Cena ahead of Rock and Austin? What sh*t.

 

[Matt23]

Yeah Lita had good wrestling skills, shame about the neck injury though.

 

[Raider_69]

Lita looked f**king hot when she wanted too, sadly she had the Uma factor, looks good from one angle, but the next she looked like a f**king horse

i was a massive lita fan in looks due to her red hair which is my achillies heel, but as far as wrestling goes, far superior to any diva ever... only one i think goes close was Trish in her latter years, early on she sucked balls

 

[Misanthrope]

Reading the spoilers, it sounds like it would be an amusing show. No real classic matches on display, but some fun segments and some old names.

Spoiler: spoiler

RVD even worked and won a match!

 

[PARANoIR]

His return was my highlight, I got tingles when he came out.

Cena getting voted ahead of Rock and Austin is believable for me because of all the 10 year olds that would've voted that would've never seen vintage Rock/Austin.

 

[lockyno1]

Cena 2nd is f..king hilarious to say the least!

 

[Eelementary]

Cut him some slack. Cena has had to bear a massive workload in recent years as pretty much the face of WWE.

True, he's nowhere near as great as Austin or The Rock - but what Cena has been doing is admirable, imo. And he's much better than the way he's booked.

 

[lockyno1]

Why does every Cena lover come up with the line "its the way he is booked"..fair dinkum it gets tired and boring. Great wrestlers can make a poorly booked match look great!

 

[pennywisealfie]

that was not only better than any raw, smackdown, heat, experience, velocity, saturday night main event in the past 3 years but it was better than any PPV. god that was so good, i spent the whole episode just marking out, i even marked out at the old theme songs at the start, so good to see the anvil again, so awesome to hear the million dollar laugh, so cool to see the lethal weapon again (i loved that guy!). the whole show was just done so well, it missed the rock and bret but i didnt expect them anyway, and for what they had they utilized so well. what an event.

EDIT: oh man, can someone change my howler in the subject line...thats awful, i look geniused lol.
