MAJOR ANGLE PLANNED FOR RAW 1000(possible spoilers)

[KingGary09]

There are rumors goin round that the WWE has sum big planned for Rae 1000 on the scale of the nexus debut and cm punk's shoot......wat do u guys & gals think it will b I personally think dat CM punk will turn heel gettin help from sum1(hopefully Kings of Wrestling-a guy can dream) to aid him in beatin Cena cause I just dont see Cena winning the title dis soon i have him winning it around Survior Series jus n time for the road to wrestlemania( Cena vs Rock 2....taker did it 2 years straight wit hbk & hhh so y nt) but wat do u all think is gne happen

[The Champ]

CM Punk isn't turning heel, number one.

I don't want the whole "big summer angle" to be so telegraphed that we know exactly when it's coming. It loses a lot of the impact that way, and let's face it, they've kind of waited too long to do anything on that scale anyway. The Punk and Nexus angles both started in June, it's going to be July 23 on Monday. The "big summer angle" would last through less than half of the summer.

All I'm asking for Monday is a good show. Because if I expect a big angle, and they don't deliver on my expectations, that's going to be frustrating.

I don't expect a big angle. I think WWE thinks Lesnar's return is their big summer angle. We'll see.

[Darkmania]

In the spirit of the Nexus angle and CM Punk's shoot.....what if they just combined the two for this year's big angle....oh wait

Seriously though, I think lots of fans are expecting something, and I have no idea what it maybe. The fact that Austin isn't advertised for RAW makes me think he maybe involved in something but that's a long shot at best.

I dont think WWE is too concerned with how late in the summer it is to do a big angle. If they are smart they would have something big planned.

[Shoeless]

The major angle should be a payoff to the AJ storyline. During her wedding to the American Dragon they do sort of a Raven's Flock angle and we find out AJ was acting crazy because she is under the influence of the leader of this group...my pick for the leader would be Tyler Reks, he has the look, I just think he needs the right angle to get him over. Take a few guys from developemental like Conor O'Brian, Erick Rowan, and Seth Rollins perhaps, repackage them and they form "The Rejects". Throw Curt Hawkins and Trent Barreta in the group that brings them to 6 members plus AJ.

My other idea is to actually use Justin Gabriel talent to their advantage. I would bring back the Hurricane character with Justin Gabriel under the mask. I think WWE owns the rights to the character so they could use it how they see fit. I think Gabriel could fill the cape pretty good & I have the perfect way to bring the character back too. When the feud between "The Rejects" and Daniel Bryan is over you have Rey Mysterio walk down the hallway in the back and he's wearing his ring gear that looks like "the Flash". As he's walking to the ring he bumps into Tyler Reks and Curt Hawkins. They start pushing him around and laughing. They ask him if he thinks that outfit makes him think he's a superhero. Rey manages to get away and heads to the ring for a match with one of the other "Rejects". As Reks and Hawkins walk away the Hurricane pops his head out from behind some boxes. Rey has the match with Seth Rollins and Reks and Hawkins hit the ring to attack Rey. You can hear Reks laughing again and saying you got away before but you're not the Flash, you gotta be faster then that to get away this time. The lights go out, you hear the sound of the Hurricane. The lights come back on and The Hurricane is in the ring and helps Rey clear the ring of these evil doers. It's also a good way to introduce Kassius Ohno as his indy persona Chris Hero. These are just a few ideas I had to spark alil interest in the product.

[Shoeless]

A few other thought just popped in my head. Bringing back "The Hurricane" would be a good idea if they ever get the cruiserweight show started, they could move The Hurricane over to that show. My idea also makes for an instant, fresh, new tag team in "the Rejects" and we all know they need a few other tag teams to make the division relevant again. Speaking of tag teams can anyone tell me why The Briscoe Brothers have not been signed and utilized in the WWE's tag division?? I mean a tag team division consisting of Kofi & R-Truth, The Usos, The Prime Time Players, The Rejects, The Briscoe Brothers, Primo and Epico and Hunico and Camacho gives the division 7 teams and is a good building block to starting tag team wrestling to be relevant again.

The fact Austin is the most important star in the history of Raw and he wasn't at 900, I bet he'll be at 1,000. They need a surprise return so I'll be shocked if the glass don't break!

At least this isn't Wrestlingforum.com where the average age limit is 6-11 and poeple traallk like diss alld a tyme

[HollywoodDude]

I hope it involves undertaker coming out to announce wrestlemania 29 will be retirement time and he wants one last run through the major players in each of the upcoming ppvs building up to Taker vs Cena at WM29.

Was 900 even made to be a big deal, though?

IIRC, the last milestone show that they treated as really important was the 15th anniversary show, and Austin was given top billing on that one.

Honestly, the only way they could let me down Monday is if someone, anyone doesn't debut. There's so much talent in FCW right now, I would absolutely love to see Ambrose, Ohno, Steamboat or, Rollins debut Monday. But, I think we all know who should debut first out of those guys.

[The Champ]

They have so many barren hours of programming coming up for people to debut, though. I don't get why that needs to happen on Monday.

I'm concerned about whether they'll have enough time to fit everything in as it is.

Both Brisceos have suffered concessions. I think WWE is learly of hiring people who have suffered multiple concussions after Benoit.

The amount of barren hours coming up is irrelevant, I think he's hoping for a debut because... get this... RAW 1000 has been pushed as a big deal. So have a big debut alongside it, and put the debutante over in a decently booked match. Give a new talent a head start, a truly absurd and alien idea in the current WWE climate I know...

The thing I'll be pissed about most is if we get less than 4 solid matches.

[The Champ]

I get it, the problem is that they already have 10 million guest appearances lined up and we don't even know how they're going to fit all those in, along with the stuff they already have scheduled for the current roster as well.

Not everything needs to happen in one night just because it's a big deal.

I wouldn't count on getting four solid matches. I mean really, if we're complaining about the wrestling when we know we're getting Cena vs. Punk and a Christian match...

I think it would make a bigger impact if they debuted someone on Monday. If the numbers are anywhere near what they expect, they could get that person exposed to so many more people than just another Raw.

[The Champ]

But that implies that the person has to be a star right away, which is something I've never agreed with.

Punk and Bryan didn't debut in huge angles in front of a ton of people.

[Big Pete]

Both guys were positioned as the break-out stars of their own WWE tv show.

No one has that luxury anymore.

Debuting somebody on this show would be a great way to get them over and would offer the fans some variety other than a 'nostalgia' show.

Which is what Raw should be. A bit of everything for everyone.

[The Champ]

So because we can't put someone in the main event on a C show, that means we need to put them in the main event on the A show?

[Big Pete]

Who said anything about main event?

Having him on the show, period, would be a smart move is all I'm saying.

[The Champ]

But if the idea is that we need a bunch of people exposed to the guy immediately, that implies that he's going to be involved in something major.

And everything I've seen from fans of some of these guys (Ambrose especially) suggests that they want him in a major feud right away.

I just don't understand why that's necessary. Have a little patience.

[Bang Bang]

When Kurt Angle debuted he was pushed to the moon and that turned out great. There is nothing wrong with the quick push when done right with the right guy. Besides all WWE does now is the slow, long drawn out push because you know we have Cena and don't need anyone else. If they have the right guy and a good build drawn up (the latter which I doubt) there is nothing wrong with debuting a new talent on Monday. It would be the smart thing to do.

[Big Pete]

I don't believe Ambrose being involved in a mid-card feud with let's say Christian can really be considered major.

It's just smart booking and certain guys are worthy of it.

Like Kurt Angle, like Randy Orton & definitely like John Cena.

If every wrestler debuted the same way it'd be plenty boring.

[Australian Rage]

Its something that most knows wont happen, but that long awaited heel turn of John Cena would be pretty cool.

If its all done correctly it could turn out great. The crowds he is performing in front of are still at a mix (more boos than cheers though), and if all the rumors about him being the first man to cash MITB and lose is true, then why not make that the fuel needed for the fire?

Whether it was a clean loss or a loss due to interference or anything like that, provided that it wasn't born completely out of proportion as well, it would be one of the more well presented turns the WWE has ever done
