HBK's mystery partner is.........

[Cousin Judge]

It was one of those things where they didn't advertise a partner, but there should have been one.

They should have played it off so that HBK had approached Duggan before the show and Rated RKO got wind of it and took Duggan out and then have Shawn scrambling for a partner for the night with Flair stepping up only to be taken out last minute. Then when they were in the ring HBK could announce that he made a last minute phone call and he just happened to be in the area and his tag team partner is....




.....someone, I dunno. But anyone would have been better than Sledgie. I honestly don't think people would have been up for that main event if they didn't think there would be a surprise partner.

The only reason I came back to Raw and watched the last 2 weeks was to see where they went with HBK and RKO. And that was exactly why I watched tonight and sat through the hour and 45 minutes before this. To see who HBK was going to bring out or to see him get taken out. Neither happened, so I doubt I have a reason to tune in next week. Back to the happy world of Raw retirement!

NO ONE WAS AT ALL BOTHERED THAT THEY PUT HBK OVER HARDCORE-CLEAN THE TWO TOP HEELS IN THE f***ING COMPANY!?

[Cousin Judge]

But where does this go next week?

We know that HBK can beat them both up together and it's doubtful that Team RKO will get a new member so the MOST they can do now is what?......2 on 1. It's not physically possible to stack the odds more than that. There is nowhere left to go now.

No. It was a fun match.

Edge had the match won, but went for the chair and it backfired.

Exactly. Destroyed by cockiness.

Sadly, I expected AND HOPED FOR... X-Pac.

Thankfully he works somewhere else. I was wondering if Jannetty might be used, but I enjoyed this more.

I very STRONGLY disagree with this summation. ALL THREE MEN IN THE RING WERE DOWN, "in the orange" as you would put it in SvR 06 terms. But NONE were "in the red." It was implied, I felt, that Shawn could've, and most likely would've won the match cleanly. But then, Edge stands up, and says, I quote, "f*** this," before going out of the ring and getting the chairs.

Unacceptable, man.

HBK was bleeding therefor he was in the red

[The G.O.A.T.]

yea you cant bleed w/o being red man. gotta get the facts straight ;-)

[BHB]

WWE loves their Handicap matches, with the super faces overcoming the odds.

See DX vs everyone, Cena vs Kurt/Davari/Masters, Undertaker vs A-train/Big Show/Mark Henry - He even beat both Henry and Khali in a handicap match at a house show, two men who where booked to be threats to his career.

[The Portable Stove]

Like many people, I don't watch RAW. As a matter of fact, the only time I watch it is if I don't have anything better to do with my time.

But did ANYONE ELSE notice the Cena chants when HBK was going to get the Conchairto?

[PrinceD]

yeah, i know i know. It was supposed to be a handicap match, but they teased a run-in all night with Duggan and Flair. Everyone and their mother was expecting for someone to come in and make the save...and we got Sledgy.

See, but that's what I liked....Normally during these handicap matches, its a given that someone will run in and make the save. I actually liked that they delivered what Michaels promised...that he wasn't going to drag anyone else into this and that he'd go down in a blaze of glory if he went down at all. After being the face in peril during most of these matches (with Triple H usually making the hot-tag save), it was nice to see Michaels looking strong all by his onesies.

HBK did a much better job, beating Orton and Edge then Triple H did on the last Raw before Cyber Sunday, HHH just made them look like middle schoolers. Where HBK looked like he was able to over come the odds.

I agree. He definitely made the whole thing look like he was in the fight of his life. I almost even thought Edge was going to spear HBK before he could deliver the Conchairto to Randy.

I dunno, but HBK superkicking Todd Grisham out of nowhere was greatness.

That was the only part of raw that even remotely entertained me

[Avalanche Alvarez]

It was the sledgehammer AND God.
You didn't notice?
I did.
