They are on about orton winning his first title, notice how they dont even mention benoit.
Orton won't win the title, he'll probably just get DQ'd and the feud ends. ^Of course they don't mention Benoit, they never do anymore.

LOL! I love the Carlito Cabana segment.

August 15, 2004 wasn’t supposed to be Randy Orton’s time – at least, not according to his opponent, the capacity crowd filling Toronto’s Air Canada Centre, or the millions of our fans around the world watching on pay-per-view. Yet time came to a complete standstill when a lightning-fast RKO struck from nowhere, then restarted with Orton as the youngest World Heavyweight Champion in WWE history, and the focal point of WWE.com’s No. 7 Greatest SummerSlam Moment.Quote:

In addition to enjoying seven months as Intercontinental Champion – the longest such reign for that particular title in about 13 years – he was a proud member of Triple H’s apt-named faction, Evolution. He was also well on his way to making a name for himself as WWE’s Legend Killer, having spent the previous 12 months picking up victories over the likes of icons like Shawn Michaels and Mick Foley.
For one to definitively predict, however, that Orton would capture sports-entertainment’s most coveted championship a mere 24 years, 136 days into his existence…well, they’d probably also have a bridge to sell you. It wasn’t that Orton had absolutely no chance of winning World Heavyweight gold – sooner or later. After all, he had triumphed in a Raw Battle Royal to grab the No. 1 Contender’s spot; besides, on any given day, especially in sports-entertainment, even the greatest underdog can overcome the largest obstacles.
Those facts not withstanding, consider why Orton’s SummerSlam win was especially impressive. Nearly 100 percent of the Canadian crowd was firmly against him. And the experience factor? Forget it. Orton was barely two years in WWE, so there should have been near-zero possibility of him obtaining a title that had eluded countless other ring greats throughout their entire careers.
Yet the facts are immutable. Say what you will about Orton, but on this August night, he immortalized himself in the annals of sports-entertainment. Withstanding everything the then-World Heavyweight Champion could throw at him, then beat him. And he didn’t achieve victory by resorting to some cheap low blow or rely on outside interference. He simply found his opening, drove his adversary face-first into the canvas with the front-facelock bulldog named with his own initials (Randall Keith Orton), and pinned him.
Admittedly, Orton’s championship reign in 2004 was brief; as a result of his unlikely victory at SummerSlam, he’d immediately fall out of favor with Evolution, and lose the World Heavyweight Title to Triple H at Unforgiven the following month. But the history he left behind remains intact; no one at that age has even come close to winning a World Championship, and it doesn’t look like there’s anyone on the verge of breaking such hallowed ground any time soon. But one needn’t tell that to Randy Orton. He no longer reflects on past history. These days, he looks forward to claiming a WWE Championship…no matter how many legends he has to destroy this time.
They simply refer to benoit as 'him', lol.
Orton was one of the worst champions of all time. I think we all learned that he can never, ever, be a face.
Yeah i agree. I was so excited when he beat Benoit at Summerslam because I was a big fan of when he was the IC champ in Evolution. Then when Evolution turned on him and Orton turned face I was really excited too. But the whole experiment went wrong, and as soon as he turned heel he's really awesome. See tonights Raw for example, him attacking Cena's dad and stuff is wicked.Quote:

Nice to see "Meth Hardy" back on Raw, but, not an amazing performance.
That Kennedy/McMahon backstage thing was way too obvious where the "illigitimate Son" storyline was heading.
HHH's segment was nice.. but him & carlito's stare down was poor with an obvious finish to it.
The two tag match/segments were poor. Tag division has taken even another drop. Not featuring @ summerslam is a terrible decision by the writers. They need to sort it out. Kendrick & London were awesome on SD til' they moved to Raw where they've been doing F all since the draft.
Orton's ender was pretty sweet, just hope he doesn't do it every week like he did with RKO'ing Cena for the past month.

priceless.
Who'd he kick ?
Cena's dad.Quote:

Triple H's bit of Carlito's Cabana had me in hysterics. Pure gold.
I second that
spoilers for unforgiven & SD
I just watched RAW, not too bad. The Triple H segment was funny - I forgot how good the guy is on MIC. Let's hope for a heel turn A.S.A.P.
WWE news and notes
SummerSlam dark match was Cade & Murdoch beating London & Kendrick to retain the WWE Tag Titles
Vince was approached with the idea of doing a pro-wrestling off season a few times in the past couple months and completely blew it off every time.
Brian Gewirtz, the head writer of Raw, was at the ROH show in New York this past weekend. He really loves Delirious' character and has pushed for WWE to sign him. Whether anything comes of it, who knows. Gewirtz attends a lot of the shows in the area.
Johnny Ace has brought up the name Sid Vicious. I would guess that's a real long-shot. Ace and Vicious had heat for years because Ace was the agent in WWE that suggested Sid try the kick from the middle rope at the Sin PPV on January 14, 2001, a move which resulted in him very graphically shattering his tibia and fibula. That was pretty much the end of his career, though, in his mid-40s, he's done a couple of shows here and there in recent years and is said to be moving around all right. Ace was at an indy show this weekend that featured Vicious vs. Jerry Lawler.
Jamie Noble has gotten praise recently for speaking up during producer's meetings (he's working as an agent for the Cruiserweight division now) and giving different ideas for finishes and angles. There is a concern that finishes are getting too repetitive (Vince blew off the ideas for Orton beating Cena, if you'll recall), but of course the problem is that it's hard not to be repetitive when you have to book fifteen or so finishes a week 52 weeks a year.
The company is considering adding new original programming to WWE 24/7. There have been a number of ideas discussed, everything from "completely sleaze", whatever that means, to reality shows featuring the legends. In other words, poor knockoffs of Hogan Knows Best. I think that idea works if you have the right legends. If you have a guy with an awesome personality it's easy. If you don't, I can imagine it being wretched television.
Von Lilas of Derby City Wrestling didn't feel very good at class last Monday and ended up in the hospital two days later. He was apparently 30 minutes from having his appendix burst. It was removed and he'll be recovering for awhile.
The angle with John Cena's father will likely continue. Cena Sr., who has worked as manager Johnny Fabulous for Chaotic Wrestling in the Northeast for many years, has wanted a spot in WWE forever. Both Cena Jr. and Vince actually showed up at a Chaotic event a few months back as unbilled surprises. Cena ended up laying Vince out with an FU, then Vince bailed out the back door and left. You can imagine the reaction that got. Using Cena Sr. has been discussed for a long, long time, but Vince realized that you can only do the big angle with the father once (they've done minor angles in the past). Cena also has a brother that could also ultimately get involved.
Johnny Ace wanted a meeting with Takeshi Morishima when Morishima was in New York this past weekend. He's very high on him. NOAH put the ixnay on it, citing loyalty to Ring of Honor. That should give you an idea of how tight NOAH and ROH are, because in the grand scheme of the universe it seems insane to favor ROH over WWE. WWE had approached Morishima a year or so ago when he was down training at Harley Race's school. People had heard that he was potentially a new Terry Gordy, and there was interest in putting him on ECW since Masato Tanaka and Tajiri fell through. Ace pursued it, but NOAH shot it down then as well. All of this also seems to indicate that NOAH plans on him being a major player for the next several years.
Regarding the story of testing to see how Jim Ross would do with someone besides Jerry Lawler in the booth, the original plan was to team him up with JBL, but he was out of the country with his wife and Tazz got the nod.
MVP is cleared to wrestle, and in fact has been wrestling on the house shows. In other words, he wasn't pulled from SummerSlam for health reasons. They wanted to keep moving forward with his Matt Hardy competition gimmick, including the tag title match against the Greasers this week, so they didn't need to do the PPV match yet.

WWE 24/7 sounds horrible. Sid Vicious needs to STAY away from WWE, too.
I didnt expect the Tag Team thing on SD :S
......Quote:
WrestlingObserver.com reported Thursday afternoon that World Wrestling Entertainment suspended ten wrestlers.
The suspensions were reportedly in response to information WWE received from the Office of the Albany County District Attorney in New York. While specific details are not available, WrestlingObserver.com notes that the information likely provided proven connections between the wrestlers and one of the Internet pharmaceutical companies linked to steroid distribution.
WWE had, at press time, not revealed the names suspended--with ten names out, however, some of their identities should become clear very soon.
Beginning in November, WWE will publicly reveal the identities of all wrestlers who fail drug tests.
Edited by Yoshimitsui (Super Moderator): Please don't make pointles comments.
Dam you beat me to it. At least know it seem like wwe have learned from there mistakes with the passing of Eddie Duerrero and Chirs Benoit and know they are clamping down on drug use etc.
I wouldn't be suprised if it was Rey Mysterio and Triple H on the list becuase of there rehabilitation and a few old guys like Flair, Dreamer and Sandman also muscliy superstairs suck as Chris Masters. He has been in rehab before becuase of his addiction to pain killers
Oh man that sucks that 10 will be off WWE tv for a while. Here's an article that lists 11 people were clients of the guy who gave steroids to Chris Benoit.
http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/20...g_scandal.html
- Randy Orton
- Charles Haas, Jr.
- Adam "Edge" Copeland
- Robert "Booker T" Huffman
- Shane Helms - Gregory Helms
- Anthony "Santino Marella" Carelli
- John "John Morrison" Hennigan
- Darren "William Regal" Matthews
- Ken "Mr. Kennedy" Anderson
- Chavo Guerrero
- Mike "Simon Dean" Bucci
Man all the storylines are gonna be messed up if those 5 guys are suspended, but these people just could be clients and never got steroids, so it doesnt necessarily mean that these people are suspended.
edit: Espn put an article up listing more people as clients:
Shoichi Funaki, Chris Mordetsky (Masters), and the one and only Dave Bautista (Batista).
Wow how are they going to do smackdown without Batista.
Ten wrestlers? That's insane. As much as it is good news from a moral standpoint, if they went and suspended talented wrestlers it could severely damage the product. Especially if the post above me is correct.
It could also damage the product if they didn't suspend them.Quote:

:( I know its the right thing for them to do but it is seriously going to screw up the storylines. Most importantly the McMahon's illegitimate child (who was meant to be Mr Kennedy) and the Orton V Cena storyline (that is if the rumours are true!).
It may also mean that the main storylines are based around the McMahon Family.. I can see a new McMahon-Helmsley era heading our way.
What a disappointment. I'd be really shocked if, as rumoured, Chavo Guererro is one of the 10 especially since what happened with Eddie.
im hoping jh isntin them 10 superstars otherwise a 2 months suspension for him:(
People are shcoked to see Batistra and chris Masters on the list how can you be shocked about that? Just look at them
LMAO @ The new Tag Champs , Hardy and MVP match was a laugh. Matts punch to MVP's face was the tag , MVP threw him outta the ring and pinned Deuce.
Great! And damn , check the Size of Khali compared to Rey!
WWE has lost it big this time.
If Orton goes, Cena Vs. Orton story line will be crippled.
If Kennedy goes, McMahon's illigetimate son will have to be put on hold.
If Booker gets done, his possible title runs/storylines could be hampered.
Morrison goes, then ECW are champless.
If Edge gets done, then his storyline with taker will be effected too.
I agree with Hoodster
I think the WWE have to re-think what they're going to do.
They are obliged to suspend them to prove a point but at the same time it'll mess up the programming and storylines :(
also, off topic: if anyone is into the whole e-fed thing there is a cool website where you can create your own wrestler! You can use the appearance of another wrestler or celebrity!
http://z7.invisionfree.com/wwnet/index.php? if you're interested :)
Anybody that takes steroids deserves to be suspended, like them or not.
Smackdown was pretty good this week, and it will get even better since taker returns soon.
They said with John Morrison that he will still hold the WWECW tittle and still wrestle but with out being payed
