This is my first time at writing shows, I will be helped by another person who will write Smackdown. I am starting after Vengeance but am not keeping all the storylines.

(P.S I will be on holiday this coming Saturday, for 3 weeks. I will try and post some if I find a computer but if not I will just post all of my shows leading up to SummerSlam, this week, before Saturday and when I come back I will post the actual PPV.)

Cheers. This is the Roster, It might change slightly.

Raw – July 12th

The Show kicks off with footage of Chris Benoit retaining his World Heavyweight Championship against Triple H from Last Night’s PPV, Vengeance.

The Pyro sends a chorus of explosions throughout the arena as we kick off what should be an unforgettable night.

J.R – 15,000 Packed into the Staples Centre, Los Angeles as we welcome you to Monday Night Raw. J.R along side Jerry ‘The King’ Lawler, and King what an unbelievable night, it was last night King when Chris Benoit regained his World Heavyweight Championship.

King – What a night it was J.R but we can’t forget the promise that our G.M, Eric Bischoff made last night, because the Hardcore Title is back.

J.R – That’s right King, There will be an open invitational, for any man who wishes to hold the Hardcore Title, Tonight could be your night.

King – This is going to be great, I can’t wait!

Triple H’s Theme is played

J.R - Folks, last night, that man was only seconds away from regaining The World Heavyweight Title, which he lost to Benoit at WrestleMania. The visible gash on his forehead, the result of being busted open at the hands of our Champion.

King – J.R, That man can barely walk. He had that title won. Benoit doesn’t deserve to have the title.

J.R – King, How can you say that, Benoit is a very good Champ and is what gives this company a good name.

King – Be quiet J.R. The Game is about to speak.

Chants of ‘’You Tapped Out’’ Echo throughout the whole arena.

HHH – SHUT UP!!!

King – Does this crowd have any respect for this man? He is one of The Best in This Business.

J.R – Well King, you can’t take that away from him. He is the Cerebral Assassin.

The Chants have slightly died down.

HHH- Benoit. You think you can outwit The Game? Huh? I had you beat, that title should be around MY waist, not yours MINE!! No one beats me. I am The Game and I am that damn good. Benoit, your not getting away with it this time.

J.R – Senior Official, Earl Hebner was in charge of the match, when Triple H inadvertently knocked him down.

HHH – Eric, I want you to get your ass out right now, I want my title rematch tonight.

Eric Bischoff’s Theme is played

Eric – Triple H, I know you want your rematch, I saw you get robbed out of that victory last night….

J.R- Give me a break.

Eric – So Triple H, you will be involved in a match for The World Heavyweight Title, Tonight.

Crowd Boo

Eric – However there is just one slight problem, I have a man who keeps telling me that you have already had your shot, and you should now be at the back of the line. I don’t necessarily agree with that, but I need to make him get off my back.
So, Tonight, in that very ring we will have a Triple Threat Match for the World Heavyweight Championship, it will be Chris Benoit versus Triple H versus…STONE COLD STEVE AUSTIN.

The crowd go wild whilst Triple H is left in the ring with a look of complete horror.

Commercial Break

J.R - And we’re back with the Women’s Tag Match, The Women’s Champion Jazz & Sable v Trish Stratus & Victoria.

King – PUPPIES!!!

J.R – King, Will you ever grow up?

Jazz’s Theme is played, followed by Sable’s, Victoria’s and Trish’s.

The match starts with Jazz and Victoria in the Ring. Victoria nails a Running Clothesline followed by a Scoop Slam, and gets a 2 count. Jazz then follows up with 2 punches of her own and a knockdown. Victoria gets back up and both women Tag out. Sable and Trish lock up, Trish hits a swinging neck breaker followed by a slap to the head, covers but Sable puts foot on rope. Victoria enters the ring and both women stomp Sable in the corner. Sable is looking desperate and needs a Tag. Sable ducks a punch and follows up with a Swinging Valley Driver Followed by a Jawbreaker. Jazz enters but is pushed away by Ref. Victoria enters and plants the Widows Peak on Jazz. Trish is still down following that Driver by Sable. Finally she gets up and plants a kick on Sable, Covers and gets a 2 count before Jazz interferes. Trish gets up and punches Jazz, the ref is distracted whilst Victoria plants another Widows Peak. Ref finally splits the 2 Divas up and Trish goes for the cover. Remarkably Sable kicks out.
Finally Sable makes the tag to an already fired up Jazz. Jazz throws punches everywhere, she then misses Trish, Trish then nails a Kick and Victoria, a modified Sidewalk Slam. Victoria then runs and knocks Sable off the Apron whilst Trish covers Jazz and gets the 3 Count.

Here are your Winners: Trish Stratus and Victoria


Steven Richards and Val Venis are shown backstage in the Locker Room.

Steven – Tonight is the night when we finally get rid of that baby boy Eugene. He has the intelligence of an Amoeba. He must be taken off our screens IMEDIATELY!!!

Val- Yes Sir.

Steven – I want him off. And what I want, I get.

J.R – What an idiot King, all Eugene wants is to live his dream as a WWE Superstar and you get people like the ‘Right To Censor’ trying to squash that dream. It’s just not fair.

King – Life’s not fair J.R.

J.R - Anyway Folks we have the moment you have all been waiting for, the return of the Hardcore Title is up next in an Open Invitational. We will be right back.

Bischoff says that he has various reasons for his decision and that Triple H has many more important things to think about other than what Eric thinks. For starters he has his Triple Threat Match to worry about. Triple H leaves the office with more questions being asked than answered.

J.R – King, what was that all about?

King – I don’t know J.R but this Triple Threat match is going to be one hell of a battle.

Right To Censor’s Theme airs Followed by that of Eugene and William Regal

Re: Being The Booker - TheGreatOne08

The Smackdown pyro hits complimented with a massive crowd pop

Cole – Good evening and welcome to Smackdown! I’m Michael Cole and alongside me is Tazz. Today we kick off what may be an unforgettable era for Smackdown. This will be the first show under the reign of Shane McMahon.

Tazz – That’s right Cole, and today will also be a special day for The Rock. Today is the debut of the Rock new segment, “If Ya Smell”. This is definitely gonna be a great…

*Here Comes the Money*; massive pop; Shane McMahon comes out dragging a tombola followed by Torrie Wilson.

Cole – It looks like our new General Manager is gonna get things started off here. And it seems Torrie’s assistance will be needed.

Tazz – I wouldn’t mind rolling around in that tombola with Torrie, I can tell you that!

Cole – You need a cold shower, Tazz.

Shane and Torrie bring tombola into the ring. Shane gets a microphone, the music stops and the crowd dies down.

Shane – Welcome to a new era of Smackdown, led by yours truly, Shane O’Mac.

The crowd cheer

Shane – For those who didn’t witness what happened on last week Smackdown, here’s a recap.

Video of last week’s Smackdown is shown. Shane was in a cage match with Kurt Angle, the former G.M. It was a long and gruelling match which could have gone either way. Kurt Angle managed to land the Angle Slam on Shane. Kurt began to climb the cage. Shane managed to get himself up from the ring mat and pulled something from his trousers. He went over to Angle and grabbed his leg. Suddenly, Angle wasn’t able to move. Shane had handcuffed his leg to the cage. Shane then climbed out of the ring and won the match, making himself the new G.M.

Massive pop from the crowd

Cole – That was one of the best matches we have ever seen here on Smackdown.

Tazz – You can always count on Shane O’Mac to bring in the ratings. I can see a great a future ahead of us here on Smackdown.

Crowd dies down

Shane – Thank you, thank you. Well let’s get down to business. Since this is a new era to Smackdown, we’re gonna have to make some alterations, starting right at the top. I won’t sugar-coat anything, I’ll bring it straight out, the WWE Title is now vacant.

Massive pop

Shane – The new WWE Champion will be decided in the Smackdown Tournament. In this tombola I have placed the names of those who I think are worthy of holding the WWE Title. In a few minutes, my lovely assistant Torrie is going to pick out 2 pairs of wrestlers who will face each other tonight. The winners of the two matches will go to Summerslam where they will compete for the WWE Title.

Cole – “Those who are worthy” Tazz. Who do you think that involves?

Tazz – Well I’m hoping it will include the Undertaker.

Cole – Well Tazz we’ll just have to wait till after this commercial break. Stay tuned.

Commercial break

Shane – And now for the first match. Torrie would you do the honours?

Torrie spins the tombola, opens it, bends down (crowd cheer) and takes out two balls

Shane opens the first ball

Shane – John ‘Bradshaw’ Layfield vs.….

Shane opens the second ball

Shane - …………………….The Undertaker.

Tazz – Oh my God!!! What a match!! The former WWE Champion versus the unstoppable Deadman.

*Chavo Guerrero music starts* Chavo Jnr comes out accompanied by Chavo Classic. Chavo Jnr has the cruiserweight title around his waist.

Crowd boo

Cole – And the Chavitos have entered the ring first for this singles cruiserweight match.

Tazz – The Chavitos have been a great team. Thanks to Chavo Classic, Chavo Jnr has managed to have a long title reign, all thanks to their lying, cheating and stealing.

Cole – Yeah, that motto sure does run through the family.

*Billy Kidman’s music starts* Billy Kidman comes out

Mild crowd cheers

He then taunts Kidman by putting his foot on his face. He picks Kidman up by the head, grapples with him then body slams him. He covers him for the count. 1…2... Kick out.

Chavo Jnr dominates most of the match.

The Chavitos look around worriedly, and then hurry out of the ring.

Shane is backstage talking on the phone, when JBL enters his office.

JBL – Shane, I have a bone to pick with you!!! I REFUSE to wrestle the Undertaker. I demand a new opponent be picked. The Undertaker isn’t worthy of holding my title!!! How dare his name be put into the draw!!! I demand a new opponent.

Shane – Ok, calm down Bradshaw. I’ll tell you what I’ll do. Since you were the last champ, I’ll grant you your wish, I’ll pick another ball from the draw.

Shane goes to the corner of his room and gets the tombola. He tells JBL to pick a ball. JBL spins it then picks a ball.

JBL – Ok, let’s see the unlucky victim…. WHAT?!?!?!?!?! NO, THIS CAN’T BE POSSIBLE!!!

The camera zooms in to reveal “The Undertaker” written on the paper.

Massive pop

*Batista’s music plays* Batista comes out accompanied by Ric Flair

The following match will be a singles, non-title, no gimmick match. There will be no time limit; disqualifications and count outs will be counted.

Batista takes early advantage in this match by hitting Cena with a running clothesline. Batista Picks up Cena the neck and throws back to the ring mat. Batista goes over to him and gives him a few stamps on the head. Batista then looks towards the crowd with a look of anger on his face and tenses his muscles. Cena gets onto his hands and knees, and then Batista grabs him around the waist, lifts him up and gives him a bear hug. While still holding Cena, he then runs Cena, back first, into all four turnbuckles, and then drops him to the floor. Cena lies on the ring mat clutching his chest and coffing.

Batista dominates most of match, with Ric Flair making little interferences behind the ref’s back. Cena manages to make some comebacks which are quickly shut down by Batista.

Batista picks Cena off the floor and hits him with a scoop slam. He then grabs him by the head and locks him in the sleeper hold. Cena slowly begins to lose consciousness. The fans start to stamp their feet while chanting “Cena, Cena”. Cena’s body becomes life less and the ref goes to check up on him. He lifts and drops his arm once….. He lifts and drops his are twice…. He lifts and…NO!!! Cena’s arm doesn’t drop. The crowd goes wild. Cena has been given a sudden burst of energy. He makes his way to his feet and elbows Batista till he releases him. Cena runs to and bounces off the ropes and runs into a boot to the stomach from Batista. Batista then places Cena’s head between his legs then lifts him over his head and lands a double powerbomb-into-pin. 1….2…. Kick out. Ric Flair goes mad, climbs onto ropes, and argues with the ref. Batista goes to pick up Cena but receives a low blow. Cena then lifts Batista onto his shoulders. F-U!!!!! F-U!!!!!! The ref turns around after hearing how wildly the crowd cheers. Cena has Batista pinned in the centre of the ring. 1….2….3!!!!!! Cena wins.

*Basic Thuganomics* Cena slides out of the ring, grabs his belt and exits through the crowd.

Cole – What a match Tazz.

Tazz – You’re right Cole. That has to be one of Cena’s best matches. But I'm feeling this isn’t the last we’ll see of Batista. I think Batista will be looking to get revenge.

Cole – Well there’s no time to wonder now. The next match is coming up soon.

*JBL’s music starts* A white limo with bull horns stuck onto the front enters the stage. The driver comes out and opens the door for JBL. JBL makes his way to the ring.

*Undertaker’s music starts*

Massive pop

Paul Heyman leads the entrance holding the golden urn, followed by Undertaker who is guarded by the Dudley Boyz.

This will be a singles, Smackdown Tournament match. The winner will go to SummerSlam and face the winner from the other match in the Smackdown Tournament. There will be no time limit; disqualifications and count outs will be counted.

JBL stays on the opposite side of the ring staring in fear at eh Undertaker. The Undertaker stares back, rolling his eyeballs into the back of his head. JBL sees an opportunity and runs to take advantage of it, but is met with a big boot to the face. JBL manages to scamper his way back to the other side of the ring and get to his feet. Paul Heyman shouts to the Undertaker and the Undertaker rushes to JBL. JBL has no time to decide what to do, so does the first thing that seems to have come into his head, he punches the Undertaker. The punch has no effect so JBL lands some more punches. The Undertaker stands there and stares at JBL. He reaches out towards JBL but he ducks underneath his arm, moves behind Undertaker and lands a drop kick to the back of his head. The Undertaker falls onto the ropes then JBL runs at him and lands a clothesline which knocks Taker out of the ring. The momentum also causes JBL to fall out of the ring.

JBL works on Taker’s back outside the ring by throwing him into the ringposts and stairs. He manages to evade attacks from the Dudley Boyz and dominates much of the match.

JBL stamps on Taker’s back a few times while he’s on the ring mat. JBL picks him up and lands a body slam on him. JBL turns to the crowd and taunts in triumph. The crowd boo. However, the boos quickly change to loud cheering as Taker rises from the mat and stares and stares at the unrealising JBL. JBL turns around and is met by the staring eyes of the Undertaker. JBL attempts to land a punch but the Undertaker grabs his fist, grapples with him and lands a sidewalk slam. He then raises JBL from the mat, takes him to the corner and goes Old School. He then turns to the crowd and gives a signal that the Tombstone is coming. Taker picks him up, turns him upside down, and lands the Tombstone. 1…2…3 Taker wins, and claims his place in the WWE Title match at Summerslam against either Kurt Angle or Brock Lesnar.

Cole – John Bradshaw Layfield will definitely be disappointed with that match.

Tazz – He had it won Cole. He could have been one of the few to beat the Deadman.

Cole – JBL put on a good performance, and was unlucky not to win.

Tazz – I know Cole. Well we’ll just have to look forward to the next match.

Cole – Yes, Angle and Lesnar have put on some great matches against each other, the most memorable being their Ironman match last year on Smackdown and their title match at Wrestlemania. No doubt this match will be one to look forward to. This match will start right after this commercial break.

Don’t Try This At Home video

Commercial break

WWE Diva Search Promo

Cole – We’re back and both wrestlers have already entered the ring ready to fight.

This will be a singles, Smackdown Tournament match. The winner will go to SummerSlam and face the winner from the other match in the Smackdown Tournament. There will be no time limit; disqualifications and count outs will be counted.

The two wrestlers start off circling each other while the crowd pelt Angle with “You Suck!” chants. The two wrestlers leap at each other and enter into grapple, both struggling to gain the upper hand. They push away from each other, neither of them gaining the upper hand. They leap at each other again but this time Angle dives for Lesnar’s legs, bringing him to the floor. Angle then gets Lesnar into a headlock while he’s lying on the floor. Lesnar manages to break out of it. Both wrestlers enter another grapple. This time, Angle gains the upper hand landing a side slam.

Both wrestlers battle in this evenly matched contest, the result likely to go either way.

Lesnar hits Angle with a Belly to Belly Suplex, sending Angle to the other side of the ring. Lesnar picks him up and whips him into the turnbuckle. Lesnar hits him with a few headbutts to the gut, and then whips Angle into the opposite corner. He runs at Angle attempting a spear, but Angle moves at the last minute and Lesnar hits the ringpost shoulder first. Lesnar wanders away groggily from the turnbuckle and wanders into four German Suplexes from Angle. Angle goes for the pin, 1…2… so close from Angle!!! Lesnar makes it to his feet, turns around and turns into an Angle Slam. Lesnar hits the floor hard. Angle goes for another cover. 1…2… Lesnar kicks out. Angle has become frustrated. He removes the shoulder straps of his vest and prepares to give Lesnar another Angle Slam. Lesnar makes it to his feet and turns around, straight into the Angle Slam. Angle raises Lesnar above his head, but Lesnar counters it, and kicks Angle in the stomach and raises him to his shoulders. Lesnar throws him through the air in the F5. Angle is out on the mat, and Lesnar drops on top of Angle for the pin. 1…2….3 Lesnar wins. Lesnar goes through to face the Undertaker at SummerSlam.

Tazz – Once again, Lesnar and Angle deliver a great match.

Lesnar helps Angle to his feet and they hug.

Cole – Both these wrestlers respect each other greatly after all their fierce encounters. Just look at…. What’s…. what’s going on?

All the lights in the arena turn off, and a gong is sounded

Massive cheer

The lights come back on and the Undertaker is standing over the non moving bodies of Angle and Lesnar

Cole – Oh my God!!! The Undertaker has appeared out of nowhere and taken out Angle and Lesnar!!! I can’t believe….

All the lights go out again, then back on and the Undertaker is nowhere to be seen.

Tazz – And there he goes. It’s gonna be a long and hard road to SummerSlam for Lesnar, with the Deadman doing everything possible to knock him off it.

Cole – If the Undertaker can do this, imagine what he could do to Lesnar at SummerSlam!!!

Tazz – Imagination won’t even come close Cole. We’ll just have to wait till SummerSlam to see what happens.

Show ends with EMTs removing Lesnar and Angle from the ring.

Quite a short Smackdown......



Footage from No Mercy is shown.

The Smackdown pyro and music hits.

Cole – Good evening folks and welcome to Smackdown! I’m Michael Cole and alongside me is Tazz. 4 days have passed since the spectacle that was No Mercy.

Tazz – And what a spectacular show it was Tazz. Neither the Undertaker nor the Rock were buried alive. Instead we saw Paul Heyman get what we’ve all been wishing for for many years. He was put 6 feet deep.

Cole – But unfortunately Heyman was dug out by the EMTs and other helpers from backstage and was sent to a nearby hospital in critical condition.

Tazz – Let’s hope he never comes back.

*Shne MacMahon’s music starts* Shane MacMahon comes out

Tazz – Here comes the boss of Smackdown.

Cole – Here must be here to talk about No Mercy. What a hell of event it was.

Shane – The first think I’d like to do is thank all you fans for making No Mercy the great event it was last Sunday.

Crowd cheer

Shane – And the second thing I’d like to do is address the happenings in the main event from No Mercy. Last Sunday, we all saw the Rock bury Paul Heyman under 6 feet of dirt.

Crowd cheer

Shane – But don’t threat, Heyman was dug out and hopefully he’ll be fine and no damage will be done.

Crowd boo

Shane – But you fans should be angry by the actions of the Rock. Last Sunday the Rock put himself and the company at risk by burying Paul Heyman. Heyman could sue both the Rock and the WWE for damages, possibly causing the WWE and the Rock to become bankrupt. Because of this, I would like the to exchange some stern words with the Rock, right now. So Rock, get out here!

Tazz – Woah, Shane looks really angry. I wonder what he’s gonna say to the Rock.

*The Rock’s music starts* The Rock comes out

Cole – Well we’re about to find out because here comes the Rock!

Rock – Shane, before you say anything, the Rock would like to say this. The Rock has realises what he’s done, how he’s put the company’s existence in jeopardy. And because of this the Rock would like to do something he doesn’t like to do. The Rock would like to apologise and accept his punishment.

Tazz – What’d you think his punishment is going to be?

Cole – I have an idea of what it might be, but let’s just hope my idea doesn’t become truth.

Shane – Rock, your actions at No Mercy were irresponsible and reckless. You’ve put yourself and the company at risk. Because of this, there is only one thing I can do…..

Cole – Uh oh. I think it’s about to happen….

Shane – Rock….. YOU’RE…. going to face the Undertaker tonight for the WWE Championship!!!!!!

Loud crowd cheer

Tazz – Woah!!!! What a punishment!!!!!

Shane – You’re actions are just what we expect here on Smackdown from our superstars! Plus it’s about time that Paul Heyman got what he deserved!

Crowd cheer

Rock – WOAH WOAH WOAH WOAH WOAH!!!!!!! So you mean the Rock is getting rewarded for burying Paul Heyman at No Mercy? Well then the Rock would like to take back his apology!!!!! Instead, the Rock is going to apologise to the millions (AND MILLIONS) of Rock fans for not burying that son of a bitch sooner!!!!

Crowd cheer; Rocky chant starts

Rock – And the Rock will do one for thing for the People. Tonight, the Rock will finally reclaim the WWE Championship for the People!!! IF YA SMELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL…. WHAT THE ROCK IS COOKIN’!!!!

Tazz – Woah, did you see what just happened Cole?

Cole – Of course I did! It’s going to be the Rock and the Undertaker for the WWE Championship, tonight!

Commercial break

Cole – Last Sunday at No Mercy we saw A.J Styles beat Dean Malenko to retain the Cruiserweight title.

Tazz – What a match it was Cole. Malenko looked sure to clinch the win, but Styles turnt it around.

Styles/Malenko match from No Mercy is shown

Tazz –Malenko may have lost that match but I doubt he’ll let Styles get away scot-free.

*Dean Malenko’s music starts* Malenko comes out

Cole – And here comes Malenko for his match.

*Nunzio’s music starts* Nunzio comes out

Dean Malenko vs. Nunzio

Malenko gets Nunzio to tap out to the Texas Cloverleaf.

Cole – Malenko’s won this match, but he doesn’t seem satisfied. He’s signalling for a mic.

Malenko – Styles, I hope you don’t think I just gonna let you get away with that win at No Mercy. I haven’t finished with you yet. I’m sending out a challenge your way. Next week, It’ll be you me once again for the Cruiserweight title. I would make it for tonight but I want you to have a week’s rest so you can be at your best, even though your best won’t help you. So next week, it’s gonna be you and my in this ring, so be prepared.

Tazz – Wow, Malenko and Styles, next week! Do you think Malenko will finally take the title of Styles’ hands?

Cole – Well Malenko looks really prepared for this match. We could possibly see the title chance hands next week.

WWE Smackdown Down and Dirty Tour Promo

Camera goes backstage to show Kurt Angle walking around backstage and then bumps into JBL.

Angle – JBL, how’s it going?

JBL – Don’t talk to me like were buddies Kurt. Who’d you think you are, interrupting my match at No Mercy? What makes you think I needed your help? I could have won that match easily without your help!

Angle – Calm down JBL. Do you know who you’re talking to? Not only am I an Olympic Gold medallist, but I beat Ric Flair in a submission match with his own freaking submission! I beat the man, so now I am the man.

JBL – So you think that gives you the right to interrupt my championship match?

Angle – I thought I’d do you a favour. Your faction only had 2 people on the outside, Eddie’s had 3. You were outnumbered, so I thought I’d even it out.

JBL – The American Dream Team doesn’t need you!

Angle – What’s an American Dream Team without the American Gold Medallist? Face it JBL, you need me. But it’s your team, it’s your decision. You know where to find me when you change your mind. WHEN, you change your mind.

Tazz – Kurt sending a message to JBL. I looks to me like Kurt really wants to join the American Dream Team.

Cole – Well in my opinion the American Dream Team would really go places with a person like Kurt in their team. But if he joins, it’s gonna be even tougher for the LWO to take them out.

*Too Cool’s music starts* Rikishi and Grandmaster Sexay come out

Tazz – Well here come the traitors.

Cole – Last Sunday at No Mercy, we saw Rikishi screw Scotty 2 Hotty and Grandmaster Sexay screw TAKA Michinoku to become partners and get the tag team titles.

Footage of Rikishi/GMS match and aftermath from No Mercy

GMS – Say hello to the new tag team champions and the new Too Cool!

Crowd boo

GMS – Finally I’ve managed to get back what’s rightfully mine. But I bet you didn’t think I’d get it back the way I did. You all thought I hated Rikishi didn’t you? But there something me and Rikishi shared that made it hard for me to take the title away from him. We both shared a hatred for Scotty 2 Hotty!

Crowd boo

Rikishi – That’s right. We’re both tired of Scotty get all the lime-light in tag matches. We’re both tired of all the Scotty posters and t-shirts. We’re both tired of all the Scotty chants.

A “Scotty” chant starts

GMS – Shut up! You can chant all you want, but that’s not gonna change the fact that we hold the tag team titles!

*Too Hot’s music starts* TAKA Michinoku comes out

Cole – Here comes Grandmaster Sexay’s former partner, TAKA Michinoku.

GMS – TAKA, what you doing here? Don’t you understand I’m no longer your partner? Hasn’t it stuck in your head yet?

TAKA – I have special guest for you.

GMS – Oh yeah? Well who is it?

Scotty climbs into the ring and attacks GMS from behind. Rikishi attacks Scotty, then TAKA makes his way to the ring and helps Scotty, taking out both Rikishi and GMS.

Scotty – You know what I’m gonna do Sexay? I’m gonna what you claimed you were gonna do, make Too Hot the tag team champions!

Crowd cheer while Scotty and TAKA celebrate in the ring.

Tazz – Woah, everyone’s switching teams so fast I don’t know who’s in what team!

Cole – Well it seems to me that the new Too Hot could win the titles of the new Too Cool. Well next on Smackdown we’ve a mixed gender 3 man tag team match/ It’s going to be Madusa and the Dudley Boyz going up against Harlem Heat and Chyna. Harlem Heat and Chyna will be looking to get some retribution against their opponents after No Mercy.

Cole – What an eventful Raw we’ve had on Monday. It seems to get better and better each week.

Tazz – It makes it hard for Smackdown to compete, but I think we can keep up.

Cole – Well up next we’ve got Konnan representing the LWO going up against Sean O’Haire representing the American Dream Team. The fued between these two factins is really growing intense.

Tazz – But since the LWO have the advantage by numbers, I think they could come out on top.

Tazz – I sure hope they’ll be able to take out the American Dream Team.

Cole – Well the time has finally come for the match we’ve all been waiting for. The Rock and the Undertaker will be going at it once again for the WWE Championship, right after the break.

RAW © PREVIEW

THE WARPATH EMERGES FOR KANE

October 12th 2004​

Kane continues to make his presence felt on Raw and followed this up last week by taking out four men. Abyss, Chris Jericho, Rob Van Dam and Randy Orton were all taken out by Kane. Can Kane continue this charge as for the first time ever, Raw emanates from Manchester, England?

You have been voting all week, and you have chosen RVD to face Kevin Nash for the Hardcore Title at Taboo Tuesday. What will Nash have to say about this, and what will RVD say about having to fight two matches in one night?

Chris Benoit continued to play mind-games with Triple H from his home in Edmonton, Alberta. Benoit telling ‘The Game’ that he did not show Benoit the respect that this business demands and that when Benoit returns, HHH will have hell to pay.

However the biggest shock of last week came as Chris Jericho made appearances on both No Mercy and Smackdown, both appearances targeting ‘The Great One’ The Rock. On Smackdown this past week, Jericho even cost The Rock the WWE Title. How will Y2J address this volatile situation?

Also in action are The Hardy Boyz who will take on La Resistance, as well as The World Tag Team Champions, TWGTT w/ Theodore Long taking on Rosey and Jamal.

All this and a whole lot more as the WWE brings Raw to you from the Manchester Evening News Arena, in Manchester, England.

Note: Raw will be shown on Tuesday

The Hardy Boyz vs. La Resistance
The World’s Greatest Tag Team vs. Rosey & Jamal​

Footage of last week’s Smackdown shown of Jericho interfering in the main event and costing the Rock the WWE Championship.

Cole – Welcome to a landmark moment in WWE History! This is the first ever Smackdown being screened LIVE from the United Kingdom. And what a reception we’re getting from our cousins here overseas.

Tazz – Good day old chap! We’re going to have a smashing good time here tonight!

Cole – Tonight we’re going to get a special interview from the Rock to get a few words about his feelings of Chris Jericho’s interference in his championship match. We’ll also see the phenomenal A.J Styles put his WWE Cruiserweight championship on the line against the man of 1001 holds, Dean Malenko.

Tazz – Chip chip, cheerio! Let’s get this show on the road!

*Rene Dupree’s music starts* Rene Dupree comes out to a loud reception of boos

Cole – Dupree, what the hell is he doing out here?

Dupree – Dupree has crossed all the way over the Altantic, but not to land in a country of class and dignity such as France, but to land in a washed out, obesity filled mudhole like the United Kingdom.

Massive boo, “Dupree Sucks” and “France Sucks” chant starts

Dupree – Listen to you yellow-bellied losers, with your foul mouths! Look at this guy in the front row, stuffing his face with a hamburger! You’re a disgrace!

Loud crowd boo

Dupree – All you British people are a disgrace. France is the only true country in the world! Viva La France! Viva La France!

*Lance Storm’s music starts* Lance Storm comes out

Tazz – Hey, it’s Lance Storm!

Storm – Hold up Dupree! These British fans aren’t disgraces, you’re the disgrace!

Crowd cheer

Storm – You give all French and French speaking people a bad name! You run around with your poor accent and look at your puddle!

Dupree – Hey Storm, don’t insult the puddle! You Canadians are all fakes. You all love the French so much, you decided to copy our language. You know what? You’re right. These British people aren’t the disgraces, YOU ARE!!!

Crowd boo

Storm – You know what Dupree, I’m gonna march to that ring so you can say that in my face!

Storm walks to ring and goes face-to-face with Dupree. Dupree then shouts “You’re a disgrace” in Storm’s face, and Storm hits back with blows to the face. A referee runs to the ring to start the match.

Lance Storm vs. Rene Dupree​

Rene Dupree finishes Lance Storm with the Bonsoir.​

Camera goes backstage to show an irate Batista with Ric Flair. Batista’s anger climaxes and he throws a chair against a wall.

Flair – Calm down Big Dave! We’ll sort this out somehow!

Batista – I wanna sort this out now! Why haven’t I been booked in a match tonight?!

Flair – Look Batista, I talked to Shane and he said there just isn’t any room on the schedule for you.

Batista – No room? NO ROOM!!!!! Well you know what, I’ll MAKE room!!!!!

Tazz – Woah, what’s that supposed to mean?

Cole – I have no idea, but I don’t think I’d like to find out….

Commercial break

Smackdown comes back with Gene Okerlund standing in the centre of the ring.

Okerlund – Good evening Smackdown fans of the UK, I’m Mean Gene. And you are all about to get a special treat, as right now, we are going to get a special interview with the Peoples’ Champ, the Rock!

Crowd cheer

Okerlund – So with no furthera ado, please welcome, the Rock!

*The Rock’s music starts* The Rock comes out to a loud cheer. The Rock raises his arm at all four turnbuckles, and then stops next to Gene Okerlund.

Okerlund – Welcome Rock it’s a pleasure to have you with us……

A loud “Rocky” chant starts up

Okerlund – Well as you can see, you’re definitely a huge fan among the U.K fans. Would you like to say a few words to your fans?

The Rock takes the mic.

Rock – Finally, the Rock has come back….. to Manchester!!!

Loud crowd cheer

Okerlund – Well onto the main topic of this interview, Chris Jericho’s interference in your WWE Championship last week where he cost you the title.

Crowd boo

Rock – Yes the Rock has some strong hatred towards the son of a bitch Y2Jackass at the moment. A hate so strong, that Rock decided to go out on for a night on the tiles, as the British like to say. The Rock wondered the street of Manchester, until he bumped into a very close friend of his, Sir Alex Ferguson.

Crowd cheer

Rock – The Rock and Sir Alex had a long conversation, talking about the three things they hate at the moment. The Rock and Sir Alex talked about their hatred of Arsenal….

Crowd cheer

About their hatred of Chelsea…..

Crowd cheer

And about their hatred of Chris Jericho!

Crowd cheer

You see Sir Alex is a very big admire of the WWE, and especially of the Rock. So Sir Alex was very upset when he saw the Rock lose in his WWE Championship match. So Sir Alex said to the Rock, “You cannot let this go unpunished!”. And the Rock agreed. So the Rock is going to get Y2J back. But this isn’t going your ordinary type of revenge, the Rock is going to get Y2J back where it hurts the most!

Okerlund – Very strong words from the Great One here. Would you like to further comment on this?

Rock – No, the Rock is going to leave the millions (AND MILLIONS) of Rock fans to marinate on his words. IF YOU SMELLLLLLLLLLLLLLL…. WHAT THE ROCK IS COOKING!!!!

Cole – Strong words from the Rock. How’d you think he’s gonna pay Chris Jericho back Tazz?

Tazz – I’ve already got a good idea of where he can hit him where it hurts, and trust me, I don’t mean downtown!

Cole – Well up next we’ve got a tag team matchup. It’ll be Rey Mysterio and Chavo Guerrero of the LWO going up against Orlando Jordan and Sean O’Haire of the American Dream Team.

*The LWO’s music starts* Mysterio and Chavo come out

*The ADT’s music starts* Jordan and O’Haire come out

LWO (Mysterio + Chavo Guerrero) vs. ADT (Jordan + O’Haire)​

Mysterio wins it for the LWO with the 619 followed by a West Coast Pop.​

Cole – Well the LWO have won this battle, but the American Dream Team will have another chance to redeem themselves in the main event when Eddie and Konnan represent the LWO and go up against the team of JBL and Kurt Angle, who will be representing the American Dream Team.

Tazz – Woah, big time explosive ingredients being mixed here tonight Cole!

Clip of the Batista attack is shown, with Ric Flair cheering him on. Camera goes backstage to show Shane McMahon confronting Batista.

Shane – What the hell do you think you’re doing Dave?! Is this some sort of joke? Well I’m not laughing Batista!

Batista – And you’re not supposed to be laughing! You should be fearing me right now! You not booking me in a match has really put me over the edge!

Shane – Well I don’t care Batista! Here at Smackdown we’re here to provide with pure entertainment, and you’re just capable of pulling that off! And this stunt hasn’t won you any points either!

Batista – Well then no one in the building will be safe until I get a match! I don’t care if there’s no space, I want a match!

Shane – I’m just gonna say this once Batista. If you do something like this again, rest assured, you will pay for it!

Shane walks away from Batista.

Cole – This Batista situation seems to be getting serious.

Tazz – Well let’s just hope Batista doesn’t cause an interference I our next match, as A.J Styles will be putting his Cruiserweight title up against Dean Malenko.

Dean Malenko wins the Cruiserweight title after interference from John Cena.​

Cole – Well John Cena has returned, in a form we wouldn’t have expected.

Cole – Well up next will be The Big Show going up against Test.

Batista paces around the ring enraged.

Cole – Well Batista's finally faced the consequences.

Tazz – But I doubt he's gonna stop after this Cole.

Cole – Folks stay tuned, we have to go to short commercial break. But when we come back we'll have our main event of the LWO against the ADT.

Batista – If you won't give me my match, I'll just have to take it! No suspension can stop me!

Shane – That is it Batista, that is the final straw! You've pushed me over the edge Batista! And do you know what I'm going to do? I'm going to lift your suspension!

Cole – What?!?!

Shane – And I'm going to give you a match! Next week on Smackdown, you'll get your match. But it'll be a cage match! Against...... BROCK LESNAR!!!!!

Loud crowd cheer. Batista stands in the ring with an expression of total shock.

Cole – Oh my God! Brock Lesnar will finally return, next week, in a cage match!

Raw – October 11th


The show kicks off with footage from the end of last week’s Raw and Kane decimating Goldberg, Randy Orton and Triple H

Huge pyro goes off as Raw emanates from the Allstate Arena in Chicago, Illinois

J.R – We are only 8 days away from Taboo Tuesday as Raw rolls into ‘The Windy City’.

King – JR, you know what, I’ve just got a feeling that something big is going to happen tonight.

J.R – Well King if it does then you will only see it here on the flagship broadcast of World Wrestling Entertainment, Monday Night Raw.

Mr McMahon’s Theme Plays

King – Here we go it’s going to kick off right now!

J.R – I hope that Mr. McMahon gives that son of a bitch an asskicking right from Oklahoma.

Bell rings

Lillian Garcia – Ladies and Gentlemen the following match is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, from Greenwich, Connecticut he weighs in at 253 lbs. He is the Chairman of WWE, Mr. McMahon.

Mr. McMahon strolls to the Ring and picks up a Microphone.

Vince – Eric, you gave me no choice but to make this match. I haven’t seen you all week so I hope that means you’ve been practising those kicks of yours. Eric Bischoff please approach this Ring so we can finally settle this thing once and for all. You challenged me when you ran that company, what was it called again…that’s it, wCw! I forgot about that, how stupid of me! You challenged me then, so Eric be a man and come out now…if not I might just have to…. FIRE YOU

J.R – Fire his ass Vince; fire his ass all the way to hell!

Eric Bischoff’s Theme Plays

Lillian – And his opponent, from Detroit, Michigan. He weighs in at 197lbs. He is the General Manager of Raw, Eric Bischoff.

King – Look…Look at Bischoff he’s a walking cripple!

J.R – Eric Bischoff is walking out to the Ring on crutches and in a suit.

Bischoff – Mr. McMahon, as you can see I have broken my ankle and therefore am unable to wrestle you tonight in a match that you wanted so badly.

Vince – If I know Eric Bischoff the way I know Eric Bischoff then Eric Bischoff never gives up…

Eric – Well this time Vince, Eric Bischoff has decided there is no other alternative but to not wrestle. I’m sorry Vince, but by order of doctors this injury could become a whole lot worse.

Vince – So you’re telling me that you can’t wrestle tonight?

Eric – That’s right.

Vince – Well Eric you know what, I’m sick and tired of this bullshit. I’ve had enough of it. Eric Bischoff, I don’t care if you’re a cripple in one week because our new Commissioner also has had enough of your bullshit and they have decided to make a match via me for Taboo Tuesday, because at Taboo Tuesday in that very Ring, it will be Raw General Manager Eric Bischoff going up one on one against…Stone Cold Steve Austin.

Eric – What!! Mr. McMahon are you crazy, I am injured, no Mr. McMahon you cannot do this…

Vince – I just did, have a nice evening, and thank you very much.

Eric Bischoff stands on the Ramp with his mouth fixed open

Commercial Break


J.R – King, I’m still shocked at the announcement made just moments ago by the Chairman of WWE, Vince McMahon.

King – Eric Bischoff will be squaring up eye to eye with the Texas Rattlesnake, Stone Cold. J.R, did you really want this to happen?

J.R – Eric Bischoff is a stain on the underwear of life. Everything that he will get from Stone Cold will be deserved.

King – Well I guess Eric Bischoff is going to be in for a torrid time at Taboo Tuesday, but what about you J.R?

J.R – Well what about me?

King – Your match with the Coach.

J.R – Jonathan Coachman will learn that you don’t mess with an Oklahoman with a purpose.

Edge and Christian are in the backstage corridor where they encounter Eric Bischoff

Edge – Eric, we’re shocked.

Christian – No, we’re totally shocked.

Edge – We are astronomically shocked about what’s going on….

Eric Bischoff smiles

Eric – Edge, Christian, I can assure you that I am also shocked at the way that Vince McMahon has put me in this match.

Edge and Christian look at each other with puzzled faces

Christian – Eric, we weren’t talking about your match…

Edge – We were talking about the fact that we are shocked that we aren’t even in a match at Taboo Tuesday.

Eric – Oh

Christian – So what are you going to do about it?

Eric – I’ll tell you what I’m going to do about it. I’ve had enough of fans deciding what’s going to happen at my PPV. At Taboo Tuesday it will be Edge reuniting for the first time with his brother Christian, to face the team of Diamond Dallas Page and Raven….

Edge – Now that’s what I’m talking about. The return of the Canadian hotshots, Edge and Christian…. High Five!

Christian – We so totally reek of awesomeness.

Cameras turn back to J.R and King

King – Another awesome match added to Taboo Tuesday, which indecently folks is only 8 days away.

J.R – Milwaukee, Wisconsin will be hot off the top when the Raw Superstars flood in for Taboo Tuesday.

King – Are you ready for your match next week with Coach?

J.R – You know what King, I’m gonna give that son of a gun the biggest ass whooping he will ever get, but staying on the subject of tonight, Ladies and Gentlemen none other than Chris Jericho will present another edition of the Highlight Reel with the special guess being none other than…. Stone Cold Steve Austin.

King – I can’t wait!

Don’t Try This At Home Commercial


Bell Rings

Lillian – The Following match is a Hardcore Match scheduled for one fall, approaching the Ring from Detroit, Michigan he weighs in at 285lbs, Rhyno.

J.R – Well folks here’s the man beast Rhyno who leaves no person standing when he charges on the warpath.

Rob Van Dam’s Theme Plays

Lillian – And here comes his challenger, from Battle Creek, Michigan, he weighs in at 237lbs, Rob…Van…Dam.

J.R – RVD, the number one contender as chosen by the fans to challenge Kevin Nash for the Hardcore Title at Taboo Tuesday will really have his work cut out if he is to walk away from this match without any major injuries.

Hardcore Match
Rhyno vs. Rob Van Dam

RVD wins with the 5-star frog splash.

Here is your winner – Rob Van Dam


King – Mr. Monday Night comes out on top once again and looks as if he will give Nash a run for his money…

Rhyno attacks RVD from behind until Kevin Nash emerges from the back and runs down to the Ring. It looks as if he is going to hit Rhyno until suddenly he clobbers RVD with a huge clothesline.

J.R – Come on, was that really necessary?

King – Kevin Nash looked to his ego more then he did to the fans.

Nash picks up a Microphone

Nash – What all you people here fail to realise is that I am the WWE Hardcore Champion. Not “Mr. Monday Night” or anybody else for that matter. So until you show me some respect, I’m gonna continue to do things my way around here until people like you show people like me the respect that I deserve. I came back from an injury for all you fans, and you fans turned your back on me and for that I might just have to turn my back on you…

He nails RVD again with the Microphone

Nash – As for you (directed at RVD). I’ll see you at Taboo Tuesday.

He raises the title above his head and glances on at a stricken RVD

J.R – The actions of a desperate man in Kevin Nash.

King – I’ve gotta agree with you JR, RVD didn’t do anything wrong to warrant than kind of a beatdown he received at the hands of both Rhyno and Kevin Nash.

J.R – Kevin Nash will have all hell to pay at Taboo Tuesday.

Commercial Break


Mr. McMahon is sitting down by in his office on the phone

Vince – Yeah, it’s Vince…Yeah I told him about his match at Taboo Tuesday, you should have seen the look on his face it was priceless! So you still ready to make yourself known at Taboo Tuesday…good good…I’ll await your arrival then….

Randy Orton walks into the room

Vince – Look, I’ve gotta go, I’ll call you soon. See you soon, bye.

Orton – Who was that?

Vince – Just the new Raw Commissioner…

Orton – Oh right…may I ask whom it is?

Vince – No sorry Randy, strict confidentiality.

Orton – Mr. McMahon please, I won’t tell anyone I promise.

Mr. McMahon – Oh all right, but if this gets leaked out….

Orton – It won’t I promise…

Mr. McMahon whispers the name into Orton’s ear

Orton – You’re joking right?

Mr. McMahon – No I’m not, you just wait and see what this does to the Raw locker room….

J.R – The suspense builds, who could the new Commissioner be?

King – I have no idea but if we know Vincent Kennedy McMahon well enough, we should know that this will be one hell of a surprise….


These people were brave but in their own minds were cowards,
These people sent out thousands to fight hundreds,
Will we ever know our true destiny?
Destiny defying the barriers of reality,
My Grandparents fought for our rights,
But lost,
Now I’m coming to vanquish the suffering that this has caused,
I will show no remorse to those who conquered…
You will not choose to see me I will be there

Hirohito is coming…In 8 days


J.R – Folks Hirohito will make an appearance at Taboo Tuesday but that’s not the only person who will be appearing at Taboo Tuesday because courtesy of our Chairman, Mr. McMahon, a full time Commissioner of Raw will be appointed.

King – But J.R, you might not even be around to commentate on it that is if Jonathan Coachman beats you.

J.R – You could be right, but then again you could be wrong.

Bell Rings

Trish Stratus’ Theme Plays

Lillian – The following Tag Team contest is scheduled for one fall, introducing first the team of Lita, and the Raw Women’s Champion, Trish Stratus.

King – PUPPIES!

J.R – This young beautiful lady from Toronto, Canada will have to put her title on the line at Taboo Tuesday to face Gail Kim.

King – Gail Kim was voted as the opposition by the fans, but that’s not all…it will be a Wisconsin Street Fight.

J.R – The first of it’s kind.

The referee walks over to Lillian and whispers something in her ear

Lillian – I have just been informed by General Manager, Eric Bischoff that this match will no longer be a regular Tag Team Match, but a 3-on-2 Handicap Match.

Gail Kim’s Theme Plays

Lillian – And introducing their opponents, they are the team of Gail Kim, Molly Holly and Jazz.

J.R – Come on now this isn’t fair.

3-on-2 Handicap Match
Trish Stratus & Lita vs. Gail Kim, Molly Holly & Jazz

Gail Kim lands a German Suplex on Trish for the victory.

Here are your winners – Gail Kim, Molly Holly and Jazz


J.R – What a vital win for Gail Kim and her team in the running up to Taboo Tuesday.

King – It’s always a confidence booster when you defeat a Champion before a match against them.

J.R – However folks next up is the Highlight Reel with special guest Stone Cold; don’t go away this will be one that you don’t wanna miss.

Commercial Break


J.R – We’re back live from the Allstate Arena, here in Chicago, Illinois but whilst the ring is being set up for the Highlight Reel let’s take you back to Smackdown two weeks ago and show you why The Rock was so irate at Chris Jericho.

Footage is shown of Chris Jericho costing The Rock the WWE Title

J.R – Well the stage is set, let’s get this thing started.

Chris Jericho’s Theme Plays

Lillian – Ladies and Gentlemen please welcome Chris Jericho

Jericho – Thank you, Thank you all and welcome to another edition of…The Highlight Reel.

Crowd Cheers

Jericho – Before I bring out my guest I would just like to clear a few things up. Rock, I went to No Mercy just to have a good time, meet a few old friends and then I see you. Now being the egomaniac that you are, you decide to challenge Y2J so Y2J waited. He didn’t want to attack you during your Buried Alive match, and by God count yourself lucky Rock because if I did, you would be the dead one, not Paul Heyman. So I got you where it really hurt, your WWE Title match with The Undertaker the following Smackdown. You say you’ll ‘get me where it hurts’ well I don’t think so buddy….

King – He’s got a point there, there’s no way that The Rock will attack a man like Chris Jericho!

Jericho – Now let’s get back to business, my guest tonight is a 6 time WWE Champion, he wrestled Goldberg at Unforgiven for the World Heavyweight Championship. He will be wrestling Eric Bischoff at Taboo Tuesday, and hopefully kick his ass again. Please welcome my guest tonight; he is none other than the Texas Rattlesnake, Stone Cold Steve Austin.

Stone Cold’s Theme Plays

Jericho – Mr. Austin, welcome to the Highlight Reel with your host the Sexy Beast, Chris Jericho.

Austin – Look at you, you ******. With your short blond hair, your gay red pants your crappy Widescreen TV.

Jericho – Excuse me asshole that is the Jeritron 5000, the most expensive Widescreen in the country. But I almost forgot, I’ve been meaning to show you something on the Jeritron 5000 seeing as you are so interested in it I’ve got some footage I’ve been meaning to show you, so please, John roll the footage I told you about…

Footage comes up on the TitanTron and on the Jeritron 5000 of Chris Jericho defeating Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Rock to become the 1st ever Undisputed Champion

Jericho – Sorry Steve, it had to be shown.

Austin – You call that funny? Are you trying to wind Stone Cold Steve Austin up?

Jericho – Erm…. well no.

Austin – Because I didn’t find that funny one bit, but one thing I will find funny is this…. I’m going to do a little research and I’m going to conduct an unofficial public poll. If you think that Stone Cold Steve Austin should whip Chris Jericho’s puny ‘undisputed champion’ ass, give me a hell yeah.

Hell Yeah Chant

King – That was unanimous.

Jericho – Steve, I’m not facing you tonight…

Eric Bischoff’s Theme Plays

Eric – Jericho, that’s where you’re wrong. You will be facing Stone Cold later tonight.

Jericho – What?

Eric – If you come out looking for trouble, trouble will then come looking for you. And as for you ‘Mr. Texas Rattlesnake’, I’ll see you at Taboo Tuesday.

J.R – What a match made for later, it will be Chris Jericho going up one-on-one against Stone Cold Steve Austin.

King – That match can only happen on the flagship broadcast of the WWE, Raw.

Jonathan Coachman stands by with Goldberg

Coach – Tonight Goldberg, you go up against Kane in a non-title contest.

Goldberg – That’s right, but Kane has emerged into a ruthless, callous human lately attacking each and every superstar on the Raw roster. I mean look, he hospitalised Abyss. Abyss hasn’t been seen since.

Coach – Do you in any way feel intimidated by Kane?

Goldberg – Intimidated? I’m the World Heavyweight Champion. It’s my job not to feel ‘intimidated’ and if I do then I wouldn’t show it. I’ve beaten the best there is to beat. I’ve beaten Kane before in an Elimination Chamber, and I’ll beat him again tonight.

Commercial Break

Triple H is walking backstage when he walks into the General Manager Eric Bischoff

Eric – As much as I love what you just did, this is not the right example that I want my Locker Room to be getting so Hunter I have no choice but next week on Raw to put you in a 2-on-1 Handicap Match against both members of The World’s Greatest Tag Team.

HHH – You listen up real close Eric, I don’t care what you are doing but I said I walk in to Taboo Tuesday the challenger; I walk out of Taboo Tuesday the champion. Let’s just hope for your sake the new Commissioner likes you…

Where none of you will be able to be counted out…thank you very much.

J.R – What a match, Y2J vs. Austin inside a 15ft high steel cage.

King – It could also be your last match you will ever commentate on, on Raw.

J.R – I wont lose to that jerk.

King – J.R, this is a return to the Ring that I have been waiting for, for over three years. They will bring the roof down this place tonight.



J.R – Talking about bringing something down, the World Tag Team Titles will be hanging 15 ft high in the air as for the first time in 2 years, we will have ourselves a Tables, Ladders and Chairs match.



King – Those Hardyz will be going all out tonight. Where’s Teddy Long? We need some Holla’s from my top playa. But what about you J.R, you’re really going to need some help tonight aren’t you…?

J.R – Here comes a depleted looking Eric Bischoff who has to go one on one with the toughest S.O.B in the WWE, Stone Cold Steve Austin.



Eric – Mr. McMahon….



Vince – SHUT UP!!!!!!!!!!!



King – Oh no…



Vince – Did I give you permission to talk Eric, no, the answer is no. But now I will you see Eric Bischoff I’m going to give you 15 seconds to try and explain to me and to all of these fans why I should not hire someone that will be able to challenge your authority. Your time starts now…



Eric – Well I have done a great job for Raw especially for this PPV, for the fans and I’m sure if I randomly asked a person from the back to come out, they would have nothing but positive words to say. Time up.



Vince – Oh is that so. I can think of one person in particular that wouldn’t agree with what you just said.



Eric – And who would that jackass be



Vince – STONE COLD STEVE AUSTIN



Eric – Oh no Vince, please, I’m sorry, I’m sorry.



Vince – Sorry for what Eric? And anyway Mr. Austin has not yet arrived in the building.



Eric – Thank God for that.



Vince – I don’t know why you’re thanking God, you’re still going to get your ass kicked by him later on. Anyway that 15-second explanation was pathetic, really and truly pathetic.



Eric Bischoff hangs his head



Vince – I think it’s time Eric, don’t you think it’s time?



Eric – For what?



Vince – It’s time for me to announce the new Raw Commissioner…



J.R – This is it folks…

Vince and Stephanie – SHUT UP!!!!!



J.R – Ha ha ha ha ha.



King – I don’t think I have ever seen Eric Bischoff being spoken to like that ever in my life.



Vince – As of this moment, Stephanie McMahon has been assigned the post of Raw Commissioner and will pick up duty as of this moment. If you ask her nicely she could even take away your match tonight…



J.R – What?



Vince – Well go on then…



Eric – All right, all right…Mrs McMahon can you cancel my match?



Vince – Have you lost your mind or something, do you actually think my daughter will take away your match if you speak to her like that?

The official takes the Title from Trish and raises it in the air and then in front of both women. Trish offers a hand to Gail Kim but she refuses. Trish then takes her hand away and they both crawl around the Ring. They lock up in the middle of the Ring, and Trish puts Gail in a headlock, followed b a tie-up from behind. Trish pushes Kim into the ropes and into a backward sunset flip pin…



1…2…kickout by Gail Kim



Trish gets up and stomps Kim then elbow drops her to the floor. She then picks her up and launches her into the ropes following this up with a sharp clothesline. Immediately Trish goes to the outside and finds a Trash Can stored under the Ring. She stores this in-between the middle second and top ropes and paces towards Gail Kim. She lifts her up and swings her towards the turnbuckle. Trish immediately runs after Kim but Kim throws her shoulder first into the Trash Can. She rolls up Trish…



1…2…Stratus kicks out



Gail Kim delivers a few stomps and then goes to work on the injured arm of Trish with an armbar. The tension on the face of Trish is unbearable as she struggles to make it to the ropes, just using one arm. Trish looks as if she’s going to tap but finally makes it to the ropes. Gail Kim breaks the hold. Gail rolls out of the Ring and grabs the Women’s Championship belt. She holds it to the face of Trish Stratus and then clobbers her in the back of the head with it she then goes for a cover…



1…2…Stratus kicks out



Kim goes to the outside to get a steel chair. She climbs back in and stands behind Stratus looking to hit her in the back of the head with the chair. Stratus gets up but she ducks the chair shot and lands a sweet kick to the jaw of Gail Kim, she covers her…



1…2…Kim kicks out



Stratus picks Kim up and tosses her to the outside and she then herself makes it to the outside. Trish then suplexes Kim on the outside. She then gets on top of her and delivers constant punches to the challenger’s forehead. Kim tries to put her arms up to defend herself but the constant barrage of Stratus’ punches are proving too much. Trish then leaves Kim and looks under the Ring once again. This time she finds a Table and slides it comfortably into the ring. Trish then picks up Kim and swings her into the steel steps, and then swinging her into the barricade surrounded around the ring. Gail Kim is laying on the floor but Trish forces her back up and tosses her back into the Ring. She immediately goes for the cover…



1…2…Kim kicks out



Trish sets up the Table and moves it towards the turnbuckle. She then takes Gail Kim by the hair and pulls her toward the turnbuckle, she lifts Kim up and makes her sit on the top rope. Trish then climbs up there and looks to superplex her through the table from the top rope. Kim counters the suplex, and lands a side effect off the top rope and puts Trish through the table! Kim outstretches an arm and covers Trish…



1…2…3…Gail Kim wins



Here is your winner and NEW Raw Women’s Champion – Gail Kim



King – We’ve got a new champion, Trish went through the Table!



J.R – I don’t think that I have ever seen anything like that before; Trish went through that Table like a sack of potatoes.



King – We need some EMT’s out here.



J.R – Well folks coming up next is the Tag Team match between DDP and Raven to face Edge and Christian.



Stephanie walks backstage where she encounters Triple H



Triple H – Congratulations



He offers a hand but Stephanie refuses to shake it



Stephanie – After all that you’ve put me through, you want me to forget it just like that, and think that it never happened?



Triple H – Steph baby…



Stephanie – Don’t call me your baby just call me Miss McMahon. Triple H I’m warning you, I can fire you just like that.



Triple H – Listen up. You won’t want to fire me by the end of tonight when I become the New World Heavyweight Champion. Oh and welcome back, Mrs McMahon – Helmsley.



Triple H laughs as he walks off leaving Stephanie by herself



J.R – Well there’s a meeting of two former ‘lovers’.



King – How dare Miss McMahon try and threaten Triple H.



Edge and Christian make their way to the Ring



Christian – This is a landmark chapter in the lives of Edge and Christian.



Edge – We’re back baby!



Christian – We’ve had so many cards and letters and e-mails telling us how great it is for us to be back and all this crap, but we liked this one e-mail. It was sent in by a fan named Steven Daniels and goes like this…Please all listen to Edge.



Edge – Dear Christian and Edge. I am a complete Edge-head and a complete Peep. I love you guess so much, even more than I love my wife…



Christian – Then he goes on to talk about things that he would do to us. Things that we aren’t allowed to mention on Primetime T.V. Sorry to all of you homosexual viewers watching.



Edge – And then he says that he will be in attendance at Taboo Tuesday In Milwaukee, so what we want to know is…where is Steven Daniels?



Christian – Steven Daniels, please make yourself known to the peepulation.



Edge – Oh dear, we can’t seem to find our Steven.



An experimental Theme plays with the Japanese Flag on the Titan Tron



J.R – King, that’s the Japanese Warrior, Hirohito.

Hirohito – I hate you.



Edge – That’s nice, we don’t particularly like you as well.



Hirohito – Hirohito come to avenge Japan loss. I will strike the fear in the heart of all WWE Superstars. Hirohito is finally here in WWE.



Hirohito leaves the ring



J.R – What was that all about?



King – That was a very weird speech by Hirohito.



J.R- But for know let’s enjoy our next match.



For the first time since April 1st 2001, Edge and Christian will face two other opponents in a tag team match. This should give them a disadvantage because of the time gap, but the question is can the seasoned professionals in DDP and Raven take advantage of this situation?

Orton -…yeah Vince, I’ve been thinking about that…it’s a bit, well it’s a lot isn’t it?



Vince shakes his head



Vince – Randy, you are the Intercontinental Champion, you are the longest serving Intercontinental Champion. And by the end of the night, you will be the youngest World Heavyweight Champion. Now are we going to go out there and kick some ass?



Orton – Your damn right Mr. McMahon



J.R – Orton vs. Y2J vs. RVD is coming up later!



A build up promo for the I.C Match is shown



The Hardcore Title will be on the line, as Kevin Nash will defend against RVD.

I don’t plan to lose the title tonight, tomorrow, in 2 weeks hell I won’t get beat for that title and when somebody beats me for the title I will shake their hand because deep down somewhere I will know that they were the better man. Tell me, Kane, he’s not a man; he’s just a coward. Randy Orton isn’t a man; he’s just a cheat. And Triple H, Triple H relies on kissing the backsides of certain individuals to get what he wants, you saw him, he even tried it with Stephanie McMahon earlier.

Raw – February 14th




The show starts with the footage from last week’s Main Event of Jim Ross and Bill Goldberg defeating Jonathan Coachman and Stone Cold Steve Austin and after the match, Goldberg landing a Jackhammer to Coach through the Announce Table

Raw pyro explodes around the US Bank Arena in Cincinnati, Ohio and the Official Raw Theme Tune ‘Lifeless’ by 12 Stones plays

Jim Ross – February 14th, the day of Valentines, but for Stone Cold Steve Austin and Goldberg, the love is certainly not lost. Good Evening and welcome to Monday Night Raw, Jim Ross finally, since the Royal Rumble is rightfully sitting alongside The King!

Jerry ‘The King’ Lawler – J.R! Great to see you back and it looks like you are going to be back permanently.

J.R – It looks that way doesn’t it, whether Eric Bischoff or Stone Cold Steve Austin like it, or don’t like it, I’m back.

King – J.R, but surely you know what has been happening around here…

J.R – King, of course I’ve been watching Raw, of course I know about two huge matches to come tonight, firstly an 8 Man Battle between four of the most dominant Tag Teams in our industry today.

King – That’s right J.R, two sides, Rosey and Jamal the two giants, will team up with the ‘Quebec Nationals’ La Resistance to take on the former World Tag Team Champions, Shelton Benjamin and Charlie Haas, The World’s Greatest Tag Team and the current World Tag Team Champions since the Royal Rumble, Matt and Jeff, The Hardy Boyz.

J.R – That one will certainly be a cracker, but one that will not be for the weak of heart. It will be Rob Van Dam going up one on one against the Big Red Machine Kane and it will be No Disqualifications.

King – But remember the stipulation J.R, thanks to our manager Eric Bischoff, Rob Van Dam is strictly not allowed to challenge Scott Steiner for the Hardcore Title unless he defeats Kane tonight.

J.R – Two huge matches, up for later tonight, but let’s get the ball rolling…

Match 1
Tag
Shawn Michaels & Kevin Nash vs. Stephen Richards & Val Venis

Shawn Michaels and Kevin Nash pick up the win when Shawn Michaels clotheslines both himself and Stephen Richards over the top rope, Venis then tries to go for a back drop to Nash, but Nash counters around and kicks Venis in the mid-section following that with a Jacknife Powerbomb. He then gets the cover and the pinfall victory.
Winners – Shawn Michaels & Kevin Nash – Pinfall

HBK and Nash celebrate in the Ring, and then move to the Ramp where they re-enact the famous nWo pose

J.R – A great victory for the returning Shawn Michaels and his partner the unrelenting Kevin Nash. Folks, these two men are a team to watch out for because together they seem virtually unstoppable.

Before we go to the break, we see a car pulling into the Arena. Scott Steiner climbs out of the drivers seat, and looks around him. He then takes one step forward and stops. He looks around again. He takes another step forward. Then out of no-where Tommy Dreamer springs out and whips Steiner with a Kendo stick.

WWE Hardcore Championship – 24/7
Scott Steiner vs. Tommy Dreamer

Scott Steiner struggles to get up after the Kendo stick shot. Dreamer goes for a quick pin but Steiner powers out. Steiner then grabs Dreamer by the throat and slams him onto the car. Dreamer breaks the windscreen. Steiner takes one half of the Kendo stick and whacks it into the mid-section of Dreamer. He then scoop slams him on the hood and pins Dreamer to regain his title
Winner and still 24/7 WWE Hardcore Champion – Scott Steiner – Pinfall

Steiner takes one last look at Dreamer, then runs away

Commercial Break

J.R – We’re back from the Commercial Break and Ladies and Gentlemen evidence that the Hardcore Title is truly 24/7 came in the form of what we just saw before the break. Scott Steiner just arriving at the building and already Tommy Dreamer, the first of many I am sure, is after what Scott Steiner currently possesses, and if it goes the same way it is going, Steiner won’t be the champion for much longer.

King – J.R, I would have to disagree with that wholly. Scott Steiner is a tough human being, and it will definitely take more than a punk to take that Title away from him.

Cameras turn to the back where Trish Stratus is seen carrying a rose. She walks up to Eric Bischoff’s office and knocks on the door, she then enters

Trish – Mr. Bischoff

Bischoff – Ah Trish, good to see you, is that for me, oh you shouldn’t have…

Trish – Eric that wasn’t really intended for you, it was for Billy Gunn, he’s been having a bit of a hard time lately.

Bischoff – Billy Gunn? The ‘I’m an ass man’ Billy Gunn.

Trish – Yeah, you know the guy that shakes his ass quite a lot.

Bischoff then takes the Rose from her hand

Bischoff – I see, so Trish, what did you really come to see me about?

Trish – Well I was kinda hoping you could give me a match tonight, for the Women’s Title…seeing as it is…Valentines Day…

Trish starts to move precariously towards Bischoff

Bischoff – A match…on Valentines Day…for the Women’s Title…you know Trish…. I COULDN’T POSSIBLY DO THAT, WHO DO YOU THINK I AM?

Trish – Well, you’re Eric Bischoff…

Trish starts to press her hands on Eric’s jacket

Trish – Come on Eric…you know you want to….

Trish places her finger on Bischoff’s lips

Bischoff – Trish, I can’t I’m really sorry, you lost your match against Jazz two weeks ago, I guess if you really want a shot, you’ll have to beat the Champion cleanly to get a shot at her.

Trish moves her lips towards Bischoff’s until the door swings open and Mr. McMahon walks in

McMahon – What the…

Trish moves away from Bischoff

Bischoff – Mr. McMahon, it’s not what it looks like.

McMahon – Well Bischoff, from here it looked as if you were trying to take advantage of beautiful Trish over here.

Bischoff – What??

McMahon – Is this true Trish?

Trish – Well…Mr. McMahon...

McMahon – Trish, stop right there, I am so sorry that your General Manager cannot keep his hands to himself, is there anything I can do to repay you?

Trish – Well you could give me a shot for the Women’s Title tonight…?

McMahon thinks about it, behind Trish’s back Bischoff tries to signal to him as to say ‘no’

McMahon – You know what Trish? You’ve got your match but as it is Valentines Day today, in the spirit of Valentines Day, you’re match with Gail Kim will be a ‘Valentines Day Ball’ match.

McMahon then takes the Rose out of Bischoff’s hand

McMahon – I’ll take that…. by God Eric Bischoff what kind of a man are you, carrying a Rose and not even offering it to a woman…

Vince and Trish then walk off together leaving Eric Bischoff angry, the Cameras turn back to J.R and King

King – Ha, Ha. Eric Bischoff got what was coming to him!

J.R – What was that all about? One thing that we do know is that later on tonight in the broadcast it will be Gail Kim defending the Women’s Title against Trish Stratus in a ‘Valentines Day Ball’ match. I wonder what that’s going to be about?

King – J.R, wonder? I can’t even start to think about it! Two hot Raw Divas, oh my God…!

Match 2
Singles
No Disqualification
Rob Van Dam vs. Kane

Rob Van Dam hits Kane with the Ringbell. He goes for the count but only manages a 2. RVD then climbs the turnbuckle looking for the 5-Star Frog Splash. He takes his time to climb to the top. Suddenly Scott Steiner runs out from the back and pushes RVD off the top rope. Kane then gets up and Tombstones RVD for the win.
Winner – Kane – Pinfall


Scott Steiner starts to laugh on his way out to the back until suddenly

Stephanie McMahon’s Theme Plays

J.R – Here comes the Commissioner!

King – Stephanie is back!

Stephanie – Stop right there, stop right there. Scott Steiner what in the hell do you think you are doing. You have no right to interfere in this match. Now get the hell out of here.

Scott Steiner walks to the back, whilst still cursing at RVD

Stephanie – And by orders of me, this match WILL CONTINUE, with no Interference.

Match 2
Singles
No Disqualification
Rob Van Dam vs. Kane

Kane looks around and sees a big dropkick from RVD. RVD then lands a Rolling Summersault. He then climbs the Turnbuckle and lands a 5-Star Frog Splash for the victory.
Winner – Rob Van Dam – Pinfall

J.R – King, RVD has done it! RVD will get his Hardcore Title shot against Scott Steiner next week!

King – It was none of Stephanie McMahon’s business to be out here, she should still be in hospital.

J.R – Well Stephanie McMahon, exercising authority, and for the right cause. RVD versus Scott Steiner, live next week, for the WWE Hardcore Title. How about that King?

King – Damn Stephanie McMahon….

Commercial Break

Edge and Christian are in the ring

Edge – Ladies and Gentlemen of the world, we apologise for our brief absence from Raw. This was due, in part to Christians pet Rat ‘Snuffles’ dying.

Christian pretends to cry

Edge – It’s all right buddy, it’s ok, I’m here, Edge is here.

Christian – Why did it have to be Snuffles? Why?

Edge – I guess the time came for Snuffles to enter a new life, a life with all the other Rats in heaven.

Christian takes one last sob

Edge – Anyway! Edge and Christian are here in Cincinnati, Ohio!

Christian – And we are here for all the peeps and Edge-heads who have spent their well-earned cash just to come and see us.

Edge – And for that we thank you.

Christian – And as a token of our gratitude, we would like to give you folks 10 seconds of valuable posing time.

Edge – What Christian? 10 seconds? I thought it was…

Christian glances at him

Edge – Oh, ok we’re in Cincinnati…

The crowd start to count down 10, 9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1 and on 1, Hirohito comes out

J.R – What in the blue hell does this man want. Again, for the second time in three weeks, this individual has come out and interrupted Edge and Christian.

Hirohito starts to speak

Hirohito – From Royal Rumble, Hirohito has had trouble with Raw. He does not like Raw. Hirohito has been feeling sick. This is why Hirohito has decided to have a break. Hirohito is going to go back to Japan but before he goes back he wants to say something about you people. I hate you people and I hope I never see you again…

Suddenly Edge and Christian run out of the Ring and attack Hirohito. They ferociously attack Hirohito and throw him knee first into the Barricade. Edge then looks under the Ring and finds a Steel Chair which he uses to immobilise the knee of Hirohito. Christian then finds a Table which he pushes into the Ring. Edge pushes Hirohito into the Ring, and they both Suplex Hirohito through the Table

J.R – Goodnight!

King – I, I, I can’t believe what we just witnessed.

J.R – Well Hirohito seemed somewhat angry with how Raw was treating him, and how he was feeling on Raw. Edge and Christian then took his comments to heart and put the guy through a Table.

King – What a strange night!

We turn to the Locker Room, Rob Van Dam is celebrating his win over Kane until Scott Steiner comes in and ambushes him

Steiner – What Rob? You want a Title match? Come on Rob

Steiner continues to beat down on RVD, managing to knock him out with the Title before leaving

WrestleMania Recall - WrestleMania XV
Stone Cold Steve Austin defeated The Rock to become WWE Champion

J.R – Folks, it’s only 48 days away. We are on the Road to WrestleMania 21 in Los Angeles. WrestleMania 21 the fastest sell-out in WrestleMania and Staples Centre history. Once again, WrestleMania 21 sponsored by Snickers Cruncher.

Match 3
Singles
Goldberg vs. Perry Saturn

Goldberg wins with the Jackhammer to Saturn
Winner – Goldberg – Pinfall

Goldberg gets his arm raised by the official, then Stone Cold’s face appears on the TitanTron

Austin – Ahem. Bill Goldberg you’ve been doing pretty well for yourself lately. You even took out Jonathan Coachman, Stone Cold Steve Austin’s Tag Team partner last week and drilled him right through the Announcer’s Table. Shame you couldn’t do that to me huh? Why Bill? Were you scared? What happened to the Bill Goldberg I used to see in wCw, the Bill Goldberg who would not take any bullshit from anybody. The Bill Goldberg that would switch quicker than you could say ‘83 weeks’. Goldberg now you are just a small fish in a big pond. Everybody is after you. It’s not that easy to hold onto a Title now is it Bill? Not when every single WWE Superstar wants your head on a god damn silver platter.

Goldberg – You listen up Austin and you listen up closely because I’m going to say this once. I can beat anyone in this industry. I went 102-0 in wCw…

Austin – And look where that company went…

The two start to quarrel until Stephanie McMahon’s Theme Plays

Stephanie – Enough. I’ve seen enough bitching tonight and I don’t need any from what I and many others consider two of the greatest Icons of their time. But this needs to come to an end. It didn’t end at Unforgiven but it WILL end on the biggest stage of them all. That’s right Ladies and Gentlemen the first Raw branded match to be introduced will see Icon vs. Icon, Stone Cold Steve Austin vs. Goldberg and by God this feud will finally end….at WrestleMania 21.

J.R – Folks what a match, the feud will end at WreslteMania, Icon vs. Icon, Stone Cold vs. Goldberg.

King – Stephanie McMahon has announced one hell of a match, I must give that one to her, she definitely has not disappointed so far.

Todd Grisham is standing by backstage

Todd – Folks, I’m standing by with The World’s Greatest Tag Team and their manager Mr. Theodore Long and Gentlemen, tonight you team up with the team that beat you at the Royal Rumble and took your World Tag Team Titles away. Do you have any feelings of hatred towards them?

Long – Hatred Todd? Playa, you’ve got to realise that this is a dog eat dog industry. Now my boys know that they got beat for the Titles, but they also know who their friends are and who they respect in this industry, you feel me? Now, Shelton Benjamin and Charlie Haas have a job to do tonight and that job is to beat La Resistance and Rosey and Jamal. Now if you excuse me we need to prepare for our match, holla, holla, holla.

King – Holla, holla, holla. I love Theodore Long.

After the match, Shelton Benjamin’s arm is raised but Jeff Hardy pushes Shelton Benjamin away and makes the referee raise his arm. The two stand face to face until their separate Tag Team partners and managers lead them away.


King – I knew it J.R; I knew that they wouldn’t be able to team up with each other.

J.R – It seems as if the bad blood from the Royal Rumble has not been settled just yet…

The cameras turn backstage to where Randy Orton and Triple H are watching Raw in their Dressing Room

Triple H – Now you know what Orton? That’s what I love to see, two men about to tear each other up. It’s a shame that it’s only Jeff Hardy and Shelton Benjamin.

Orton – Triple H, I don’t think that you should be worrying about others, you should be worrying about Chris Benoit.

Triple H stands up

Triple H – Randy, why should I worry about Chris Benoit? He’s a coward; he is scared to face me.

Orton – Well I’m not too sure about that…

Someone knocks on the door

Triple H – Come in

Eric Bischoff walks in

Triple H – Mr. B, what can we do for you?

Bischoff – Well you see Triple H, I figured that after last week’s annihilation of Chris Jericho you guys needed a team that could ‘challenge’ you. So do you know whom I came up with…?

Orton – Let me guess…. Stephanie McMahon and Chris Jericho

Bischoff – No, no Randy you’ve already gone through them…well I came up with…William Regal and Eugene. How about that? World Heavyweight Champion and Intercontinental Champion versus Former Tag Team Champions.

Orton and Triple H look at each other

Triple H – Jackass

They walk of laughing

Triple H tries to set up the Pedigree one more time until….

Chris Benoit’s Theme Plays

Triple H shrugs it of as if to think Benoit won’t show, until Benoit makes his way out onto the Ramp

J.R – OH MY GOD, BENOIT IS HERE

King – AHHHHH, Triple H, run for your life!

Benoit strolls down to the Ring and Triple H looks petrified, he climbs into the Ring whilst Triple H makes a swift exit and stands on the Ramp. Then Benoit turns around and executes a Crossface on Orton. Orton starts to tap out but Benoit breaks the hold after 20 seconds

J.R – Triple H, you can run, but you can’t hide. What a night it has been, Chris Benoit is back on Raw…Goodnight.

#334 ·


February 17th



Footage of the Rock fending off the LWO shown.



The usual Smackdown video and music plays, along with the pyro and cheers from the crowd.



Cole – Good evening ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to Smackdown. The road to Wrestlemania 21 continues and we’re only six weeks away from that grand stage in the Staples Arena. I’m Michael Cole and alongside me is Tazz and tonight we’re gracing Cleveland, Ohio with our presence.



Tazz – That’s right Cole, and we’ve already got three matches lined up for Wrestlemania. From Smackdown, we’ve got The Rock going up against Eddie Guerrero, with the WWE Championship on the line. We’ve also got the final for the United States Tournament at Wrestlemania.



Cole – And from the Raw side, we’ll see Goldberg going up against Stone Cold Steve Austin. Three great matches already and there are bound to even more.



Tazz – Now let’s talk about last week Cole, when the Rock unleashed an unprovoked attack on Eddie Guerrero.



Cole – What are you talking about?



Tazz – You saw what happened Cole. Eddie got into the ring to help Konnan, and was savagely attacked by the Rock.



Cole – Are you sure we were watching the same match?



Tazz – Stop acting like you don’t know what I’m talking about Cole.



Cole – I don’t know what you’re talking about Tazz. All I saw was a failed LWO attack, and then the Rock sent out a challenge to Guerrero, which he accepted and rightfully lost.



Tazz – Whatever Cole. Well we’ll be seeing more of the Rock on tonight’s show, as the Rock has announced that he will be bringing back his show “If Ya Smell What The Rock Is Cookin’”



Cole – That’s right. It’s been a long time since we’ve seen an episode of the Rock’s show, and this return episode is likely to be explosive.



*Jerry Lynn’s music starts* Jerry Lynn comes out



Cole – And now it’s time for the opening match of tonight. A.J Styles will be in action against Jerry Lynn. We will also be seeing John Cena going up against Rene Dupree, later on tonight.



Tazz – Styles is definitely going to need some practise if he’s going to be ready to defend his Cruiserweight title against Dean Malenko.



*A.J Styles music starts* A.J Styles comes out



Jerry Lynn vs. A.J. Styles

Styles has Lynn in the corner. Styles gives Lynn a few punches to the head and then whips him into the opposite corner and follows it up with a flying forearm. Lynn falls to the floor. The referee is checking on Lynn. Styles climbs up to the top rope and looks ready to hit the Shooting Styles Press. But suddenly Malenko runs out of the crowd and over the barriers. He grabs Styles by the foot and tries to pull him off the turnbuckle, but Styles kicks him in the face, sending him to the floor. Styles turns to face Malenko. He leaps off the top rope in an attempt for the Shooting Styles Press. But Malenko quickly rolls out the way and Styles hits the empty floor. Malenko quickly rolls Styles into the ring and heads up the ramp smiling. Lynn lifts up Styles, lands his cradle piledriver finisher, and goes for the pin. 1…2…3 Lynn wins.



Cole – Malenko’s already started to play games with Styles.



Tazz – Malenko’s playing a smart game here. Make Styles lose his matches, drop his confidence, and then that’ll make the championship match much easier.



Cole – Well we’ll have to wait and see how effective these mind games are.



Camera goes backstage to the locker room of the American Dream



Angle – Once again, you have proven that you cannot win a match without me. If I had helped you in that match, you would have walked with a victory last week.



JBL – Oh yeah? Well where were you when I was getting my ass kicked? I know, you were lying on the floor at ringside getting your head stomped in by Booker T.



Angle – Hey, this isn’t about me. And at least I could actually win my match two weeks ago, without your help. It looks like you need to be in this partnership more than I do.



Angle and JBL start to bicker until Shane McMahon walks into the room.



Shane – Good evening gentlemen, nice to see you two are getting along so well. Anyway, Kurt, why haven’t you been picking up your phone? I’ve been trying to contact you all week.



Angle – Sorry Shane, I’ve been busy lately.



Shane – Busy? How can you be too busy to talk to your boss? What I had to say was really important.



Angle – Well I’m sorry, but I was busy!



Shane – You know what, I don’t like your tone. And to think I was going to give you a match in the United States Tournament…



Angle – You were what? Well, I’m, err…



Shane – But it’s too late now. I’ve already picked a replacement.



Angle – Oh yeah? Who?



Shane – JBL, get ready, you’ve got a match tonight in the United States Tournament.



Angle – WHAT? YOU PICKED JBL, INSTEAD OF ME?



JBL – That’s right. He picked the True American, to go on and possibly win the United States Championship. You made the right choice Shane.



Angle – This isn’t fair! I’ve bust my butt of for this company since day one and this is the thanks I get!



JBL – Well Angle, I think you’ll be please to know that JBL’s opponent is… the Big Show.



Shane leaves the room as JBL looks on shocked, and Angle looks on smiling.



Commercial break



Raw Rebound



*The Dudley Boyz’ music starts* D-Von Dudley comes out accompanied by Bubba Ray Dudley



Cole – We’re back and it’s time for our second match of the night.



*Too Cool’s music starts* Grand Master Sexay comes out accompanied by Rikishi



Grand Master Sexay vs. D-Von Dudley

The referee is knocked out in the ring. Rikishi looked to be dazed on the outside of the ring. Bubba Ray climbs in and he and D-Von prepare to give Sexay the 3D. Suddenly, Rikishi enters the ring and takes out Bubba Ray with a forearm to the back of the neck. Sexay gets to his feet and lifts Sexay into the air, but no one grabs his neck. D-Von drops Sexay to the floor, turns around, and receives a superkick to the face by Rikishi. Rikishi then places Sexay on top of D-Von and wakes the ref up. The ref makes the count. 1…2…3 Sexay wins.



Tazz – Once again, Too Cool have proven just why they are the WWE Tag Team Champions.



Cole – The only thing they’ve shown me is that they need to cheat to win.



Tazz – Well you’ve gotta be ruthless to get to the top in this business Cole. And it looks like Too Cool have figured out just how ruthless they need to be.



Camera goes backstage to the locker room of Batista and Ric Flair.



Batista – It didn’t work Flair! Your plan last week failed. Brock made it to the next round.



Flair – It’s all right Batista, calm down. You saw how Test dominate Brock in that match. If Test can dominate him like that, imagine what will happen if you two face up against each other.



Batista – I don’t know Flair. You saw how he withstood Test, how he withstood my double powerbomb.



Flair – Listen Dave. You gotta believe me when I say this. You are the man. Believe me when I tell you that you are the man. Now to be the best, you have to beat the best. To be the man, you have to beat the man. And I’ve beaten the best, and I am the man, so I know when someone has what it take to be the best, and you have it Batista.



Suddenly, the Undertaker appears through the door. The lights start to flash eerily. Flair and Batista looked on astonished.



Undertaker – I….. Want……. You!



Flair – That’s it! You want some of the Nature Boy, let’s go, right now!



Flair takes off his blazer and throws it to the floor. He starts to unbutton his shirt ready to fight, but the Undertaker slowly backs away, out of sight. Flair breathes heavily and stares at the doorway.



Commercial break



*Rene Dupree’s music starts* Rene Dupree comes out



*John Cena’s music starts* John Cena comes out


John Cena vs. Rene Dupree

After a reasonable balanced battle, John Cena has Rene Dupree in the turnbuckle. Cena works away on Dupree in the turnbuckle, sending him to his knees. Cena continues to work on Dupree, but receives a low blow, unseen by the referee. Cena drops to the ringmat. Dupree goes to the opposite corner and takes his flag. He approaches Cena, who is getting to his feet, but is blocked by the ref. The ref tries to stop him, but Dupree pushes him out the way and heads towards Cena, who has gotten to his feet. Cena slowly turns around. Dupree runs at him with the flag, but Cena ducks. Cena then kicks Dupree in the midsection and lifts him to his shoulders, and then lands the FU. He goes for the pin. 1…2…3 Cena wins.



Cole – What a great match.



Tazz – You’re right Cole. Cena deserved to win that. I’d love to see more action between these two.



Don’t Try This At Home Commercial



*The Rock’s music starts* The Rock comes out to loud cheers



Tazz – It’s time Cole! The return of “If Ya Smell”!



Cole – It’s been how many months, since we last saw an episode of “If Ya Smell”, and finally, it has returned.



Tazz – And what a great time for it to return, on the road to Wrestlemania.



Rock – Finally, the Rock has come back to Cleveland, Ohio!



Crowd cheer



Rock – And finally, the Rock has brought back the Peoples’ show.



Crowd cheer



Rock – You know, the Rock missed hosting “If Ya Smell”, he missed the rush he used to get from the crowd, he missed all the chairs being thrown around on his set, he missed everything. So the Rock has decided to whip off the dust, and bring back “If Ya Smell”. And The Rock has brought it back just at the right time. The Rock says this is the right time mostly because of the road to Wrestlemania, but there is also another special reason the Rock feels this is the right time to bring the show back. There is one man in the back. One man, who has taken it upon himself to attack the Rock. Taken it upon himself to set his candy-ass entourage on the Rock, all in an attempt to take the Rock’s, the Peoples’ WWE title. That man is Eddie Guerrero. So tonight, the Rock has decided to take this opportunity to call out Eddie Guerrero. The Rock is sending a request to Eddie Guerrero to come out to this ring and come face to face with the Rock, so he and the Rock can settle their differences. Well that’s if you’ve got the cohones, ese…



Tazz – Is he gonna come out? Do you think he’s gonna do it Cole?



Cole – I don’t know, I think…



*Eddie Guerrero’s music starts* Eddie Guerrero comes out with Konnan



Cole – Well I guess he is.



Eddie and Konnan enter the ring.



Rock – Whoa whoa whoa. The Rock only called for Cheech, he didn’t call for Chong. Get your jabroni ass out of the Rock’s ring.



Eddie – Hey ese, Konnan ain’t going anywhere, he’s staying right here with me.



Rock – Alright, the Rock understands. You need someone to whip your ass, that’s ok.



Eddie – Hehehe, you’re a real funny guy Rock. You make me laugh a lot, you know that ese? When I watch you wrestle, you make laugh. Even when I watch your movies, when I see your “acting”, you make me laugh even harder, homes. And I know you’re really gonna make me laugh, when I beat your ass at Wrestlemania.



Rock – Well thanks Eddie, you know, the Rock likes to make people laugh. And the Rock also like to laugh himself. And there are a few occasions that I’ve witnessed on Smackdown that have really made the Rock laugh. Let’s take a look at them:



Footage of JBL making fun of Eddie, teaching him the alphabet song is shown.

Footage of JBL making for of Eddie, teaching him the number song is shown.



Eddie – You think that’s funny Rock? You think that’s funny? Well let’s see what else you think is funny Rock. Let’s see if you think it’s funny if I whoop your ass all over this ring homes.



Rock – Oh the Rock would love to see…



Eddie strikes out at the Rock with a shot to the face. A barrage of punches follow from both Eddie and Konnan.



Tazz – Here we go! A Wrestlemania preview!



Eddie and Konnan back the Rock into the turnbuckle. They continue to punch the Rock, until the Rock blocks and battles his way out of the corner with punches of his own. He gives them three punches each then knocks them down with a fourth punch each. Eddie gets up then the Rock send him back down with a forearm. Konnan gets up then the Rock send him back down with a forearm. Eddie gets up again, then the Rock wraps his arm around his neck, and Rock Bottom’s him onto Konnan.



Cole – The Rock sure has sent a message to Guerrero, and the other members of the LWO.



Tazz – This is the second time the Rock has fought off multiple members of the LWO. The LWO will definitely be looking to humiliate the Rock in return.



Wrestlemania 21 Commercial



*JBL’s music starts* JBL comes out with Angle



Cole – And he is the final match of tonight, the final match of the first round of the United States Tournament.


*The Big Show’s music starts* The Big Show comes out


JBL vs. Big Show

Big Show dominates most of the match. Big Show grabs JBL by the head and tosses him to the opposite side of the ring. Big Show goes over to JBL, picks him up, and then sends him back down with a sidewalk slam. The Big Show taunts signalling that his ready to finish the match. The Big Show grabs JBL, lifts him into the air, and sends him back down with a chokeslam. Big Show goes for the cover. 1…2… Kurt Angle thinks JBL has lost the match and jumps into the ring ready to celebrate. The ref stops the count and tries to get Angle out of the ring. Angle tries to argue with the ref and tells him to go back and count but the ref tries to push him out of the ring. Big Show gets up, moves the ref out of the way and starts to push Angle towards the ropes. He and Angle start to push each other. Suddenly, Big Show is spun around by a recovered JBL. JBL gives the Big Show three shots to the head that cause his knees to buckle. JBL then whips him into the ropes and lands the Clothesline From Hell. He goes for the pin. 1…2…3 JBL wins.



Tazz – JBL’s beaten the odds! He’s made it to the semi-finals of the United States Tournament.



Cole – All thanks to Angle. Angle got too excited and decided to celebrate too early, and it’s cost him.



Tazz – JBL could go on to Wrestlemania and win the United States championship, and become the true American champion!



Cole – Well we’ll have to see who he faces in the semi-finals. Tune in next week to find out. Good night folks!



Shows end with JBL celebrating while Angle looks on with a mix of shock and anger.

Good opening win for X-Factor, and they look to be being pushed as heels. Dudleyz come down and get some revenge on x-factor, and it looks as if we have ourselves a tag title match soon

Jericho humiliates Dean, but this segment could have done with a few more insults from Jericho, as he didn’t seem to be himself

Strange promo from HHH and Orton, but I guess they are on the same page at the moment

Good win for Orton, and he is the IC champion. Nice to see, and it looks as if he will get a slow push towards the top

Good win for Taka, and the Japanese stable continues their cheating to win

Good russo promo, and I guess there will be the odd shoot comment from him thrown in now and again. Tag match next week will be a good one, and will probably main event

Christian is arrested for the attack on Goldberg! Very interesting, even though I don’t think he did it. Pity for him to have his chance on glory ruined

Main event should be a great one, but it seems a little too thrown together for my liking. Shocked to see Angle win, as it came totally from nowhere, and wasn’t the result I was expecting, as I would have thought cena would win so the Cena/Christian feud could carry on. Angle as champ should work, but he needs a bit of build up

Two tag teams I don't see used much around here in X Factor and the Hardy Boyz kick off the show. Albert interferes and there goes Jeff Hardy, X Factor by X Pac and this match is over. Very good ending and I'm glad you are using the tag team division to it's full potential. The aftermath was well booked also with the Dudley Boyz standing tall, a fued between the two would be different, hopefully in some sort of gimmick match, tables or dumpster comes to mind first.

Jericho squashes Dean who I believe should be more than a rag doll for the bigger guys to beats around. Jericho just laughs at Dean like he just beat up a kid, lol. I agree with Forever-Delayed, more insults from Y2J during the confrontation would have been benificial.

Orton wants to be on top of the world, I ahve a feeling he will be when his match with RVD is said and done. A future Orton/Triple H fued is enevable but you sure are keeping me guessing.

Orton gets the clean victory! I expected him to win but never cleanly but when I think about it, winning a title by cheating just hurts a character even if they are heel.

Very interesting to see you using Taka, and the Japanese stable is very creative. Great win for him, and refreshing use of cruiserweights with some actual storylines being built.

Russo makes an apperance and delivers an intriguing tag team match for next week. Wonder how Shawn and Hunter will get along together? I have no idea what he mean by consider this a shoot but having Russo back could create some drama on Raw.

Classic, Christian arrested! He sounds so innocent but I know he didn't do it.

What the hell, thes guys were just thrown together like a bunch of grapes but good match with a fitting result. I don't like it how the champion always retains through whatever is thrown at them so an Angle win had me mark out. Interesting to see who challengers Angle next, hopefully not Cena!

Overall a pretty good show and some great things came out of it including new WWE and Intercontinental Champions in Kurt Angle and Randy Orton and the Goldberg assault- Christian arrested storyline. For a weekly show I rate it 7/10, remember my ratings are kind of harsh so don't think it was a bad show because it really wasn't.

Please return the review on the 1st of January when I post my first Raw and you can leave a reply to my thread now if you would like to. Thanks Showstopper but screw Chelsea, West Ham all the way! lol

Hectic last couple of days, sorry this review is a little late, and possibly a little short.

I can tell you're looking to re-develop the tag division for sure now, and it's a refreshing change for the X-Factor to be a focal point of a tag division. Was never a big X-Factor fan, but it's fresh. I see a decent feud going on with The Dudley Boyz in the coming weeks and months.

I like this running theme with Simon getting owned every week by a big star. Once again though, just like last week with The Rock, this one could've went longer with some more cut downs.

Looks like a slow build towards an Orton - Triple H feud, which is something I'd like to see, after WWE hotshotted it last year. Hard to tell now whether Orton will take the title, or lose to RVD, then move into the main event slots right away.

Clean victory was about the last thing I was expecting. Shocked to see a new champion already, with RVD only winning the belt last week.

Glad to see you using Kaientai seriously, and building the CW Division around them, as a strong stable.

I think Russo as GM will be definately living on the edge. I expect him to be a major part of the thread, and next weeks main event sounds awesome, with the partners all having a LONG history together.

Awesome twist, with Christian getting arrested moments before his big main event. Have to feel for Captain Charisma there. I'm enjoying seeing where this angle goes, as in, who was behind getting Christian arrested, and also ... what happens with the main event.

Fatal Four Way now?? Would've been good if Russo explained why the other three were chosen, rather than just announcing them.

Surprised to see Angle take the belt, as I would've put money on Cena to take the belt, and set up a match with Christian in a week or two. Should be interesting to see where you go with that, but hopefully its not a Cena - Angle feud.

Better than last weeks show, but the in ring promos still seem a tad short to me. Keep going though, it'll just take you a little bit to get back into your groove.

Congrats on 3,000 posts ... this one is my 2,500 :agree:

Re: Being The Booker - TheGreatOne08

Not a bad start to life in BTB!
Decent show with decent match bookings although you did fail to mention how Austin came back and how RTC were re-united.
Overall 8/10 Great start! I'll keep reading and hopefully this series will pick up!

Re: Being The Booker - TheGreatOne08

Great first show, one of the best first one's I've read in a long while.

Great flow to it, nice Promo's, Good to see some of my favourties back in the ring. Hope you use Steiner well, WCW heel not WWE heel and make him unstopable again. Great rosters and gooid matches, I liked the Triple Threat Main Event.

Learn to use the bold and italics for you shows it makes it alot easier to read and it looks better. Check out At0mic and mine, WWE: Rise of Glory to see what I'm talking about. Also work on your matches a little bit, they seemed a bit confusing to read, but I got the hang of it.

It will be interesting to see what you can do in the future with it, also I hope Smackdown! won't be the downfall of you company.

For your first show I'll give you a 9/10 for a great first show.

Raw - 19th July

The show kicks off with footage of Chris Benoit regaining his World Heavyweight Championship, defeating Triple H and Stone Cold Steve Austin, in a Triple-Threat Match.

J.R – 17,565 packed into the Nassau Coliseum, for Monday Night Raw with me J.R alongside Jerry ‘The King’ Lawler and King what a night it was last week, when Chris Benoit defeated two men to regain The World Heavyweight Championship.

King – J.R, if last week was an indication of things to come in the coming weeks, it’s going to be great. I can’t wait! J.R, Triple H is going to make Benoit pay.

The Ring is set up for the Highlight Reel and Chris Jericho’s Theme is played

J.R – Well King, here comes Y2J and we have been told that his Special Guest will be none other than Kane.

King – It’s going to be interesting J.R to see what the Big Red Monster Kane has to say.

J.R – Thank You Folks, for inviting us into your homes on this hot summer’s night here in New York.

Y2J – Welcome to Raw Is Jericho!!!!

Crowd Cheer, Chants of Y2J erupt.

Y2J – Now people have been asking me over the last few weeks, by whom has Lita been impregnated by? She shouldn’t have been sleeping with two men in the first place; can you imagine a little Kane?

Y2J – Well we need not ask any questions, anymore because my guest for tonight claims that Lita’s baby is his, so without further ado please welcome, Kane.

Kane’s Theme is played

J.R – King, that’s a psychotic man.

King – J.R, you need to take a lighter tone to life. We know the history between you and Kane but it’s just that, History. So let it go and take care of your life.

J.R – Let’s stop worrying about me and get on with the show.

Y2J – Kane, many people have condemned your actions from two weeks ago, not only did you lay your hands on a woman who is said to be carrying your baby….

Does the stupid ‘’Little Kane’’ impression

Y2J- But you tried to Chokeslam her. Do you have anything to say for yourself?

Kane – I don’t have to explain myself to anyone, not to these people and especially not to you Jericho.

Crowd boo

Kane – THAT IS MY BABY!! NO ONE WILL TAKE THAT CHILD AWAY FROM ME!!

Y2J – Well you can argue that with my next guest, he is on the other side of this equation. Please Welcome, Matt Hardy.

Matt Hardy Theme Plays

J.R- Well King, This is the other side of the equation, Matt Hardy also thinks he is the father of the child.

Matt – Kane, I hate you, for what you did to ma Lita. You’re not gonna get away with this.

Matt runs over and attacks Kane, whilst this is happening Bischoff comes out.

Eric –Wo Wo, Wo. Matt, seeing as you are so anxious to get in the Ring tonight, I’m going to give you a match. It will be Matt Hardy, Version 1 against…The Hardcore Champion Scott Steiner in a No Holds Barred match, and get ready because that match…

Don’t Try This At Home Commercial

J.R – And we are back Folks with a 6 Man Tag Team match.

King – After what Right To Censor, did to young Eugene, do you think either he or William Regal will be in the right frame of mind.

J.R – I don’t know King but I will tell you this, Eugene had a dream, to be in the WWE. To wrestle with guys and to make friends. The Right to Censor have done nothing but make Eugene’s life hell, and why, why King. The Right To Censor only reunited before Vengeance to take out their ‘’threat’’ Eugene.

King – I don’t know J.R, don’t take it out on me.

Eugene and William Regal approach the Ring, Eugene with a plaster on his Forehead to cover the gash he received at the hands of a Chair shot by Val Venis. Shelton Benjamin then comes to the Ring. After this, RTC make their way to the Ring followed by Jonathan Coachman

J.R – Well King, he does have to have a match once in a while (comments directed at Coach)

The Match starts with Coach delivering punches to Shelton Benjamin and getting him on the floor for an Armbar, Benjamin manages to roll out of it. Shelton Benjamin lands a Dropkick onto the back of the Coach’s head, this forces him to tag Steven Richards in. A Hip Toss by Richards to Benjamin followed up with a vicious Backdrop, Richards then goes to the corner and knocks Regal off the Apron. Meanwhile Benjamin gets the tag to Eugene. Eugene starts mocking Richards, who decides to Tag in Val Venis. Eugene hits a Dropkick on Venis, he then lands the Rock Bottom, Coach however breaks the count. Eugene tags in William Regal, Regal hits a German Suplex with Bridge on Venis, and the rest of the team goes and attacks the others while the Referee counts to 3. Match Time: 2:59

Here are your winners: William Regal, Eugene and Shelton Benjamin

Triple H is seen pulling up in his Limo Eric Bischoff approaches him.

HHH – Eric, Did you see me get screwed. I am The Game, nobody messes with Triple H. Chris Benoit had an easy time last week, even Austin couldn’t stop him, but this time I am ready, I want a title shot 1-on-1 Eric, and I want it tonight.

Eric – Triple H, I understand your concerns but I need to give everyone an equal opportunity, this is why next week on Raw, I will have a major announcement concerning SummerSlam and The World Heavyweight Championship. As for tonight though, I have booked a match, It will be Kane v Chris Benoit (non title) and Hunter, you will be the Special Guest Referee.

J.R – What is Bischoff thinking?

Commercial Break

J.R – Next up is the Rematch from Vengeance as we see Edge taking on Randy Orton for the Intercontinental Championship

King – That’s right J.R, Randy has decided to exercise his return match clause now, but J.R what do you think Bischoff’s ‘’Special announcement’’ concerning the World Heavyweight Championship is.

Randy Orton comes out to the Ring

Orton – You see, many people have come up to me and said, Hey Randy you say that you are a Legend Killer and can defeat Legends, but why can’t you defeat Edge? He’s not a Legend. You can defeat Foley but you can’t defeat Edge. Well Edge is a cheat. No wonder he beat me, he cheated. I was the longest reigning Intercontinental Title holder, and Edge took that away from me. Tonight I get my rematch, and I take back what is mine, The Intercontinental Championship.

Edge’s Theme is played

J.R – The Intercontinental Title is on the line as Edge takes on former Champion Randy Orton, We will be right back.

Adverts for SummerSlam air.

The match starts with a Spear Takedown by Edge, he then follows up with numerous punches, elbows and kicks to Orton, he then takes him down with a standing Dropkick. Edge then tries to go for a Crossface-submission type manoeuvre; Orton manages to reach the Ropes quickly. Edge then applies a leglock but Orton scuppers out of that quickly. The match seems to be all going Edge’s way until Orton gets a Sidewalk Slam and a Backbreaker in. He then applies a Dragon Sleeper and an Inverted DDT and gets a 2-Count. He follows up with a Big Back Body Drop showing everyone his strength. Swinging Neckbreaker by Orton. The Referee is then inadvertently punched by Edge. Edge then gets a Low-Blow on Orton. This time Edge gets a standing Dropkick and another backbreaker follows. Edge then applies a one hand Flapjack, Orton counters this with an Elbow to the midsection followed by a Fireman’s carry. Orton goes for the RKO which is countered into a delayed vertical Suplex. Edge then nails a gruesome DDT in which Orton lands Vertical to the Mat. Edge then gets the 3 count. Orton is down and out. Match Time: 7:23

Here is your winner and still Intercontinental Champion: Edge

King- J.R, I can’t believe it, Randy Orton got cheated out of the Title,J.R this is a fix.

J.R – Fix? What was the fix, Edge won that match fair and square. Anyway, we would also like to wish Rob Van Dam a speedy recovery after he received an alarming amount of blood loss, we have heard from doctors he should be back for Raw in two weeks.

King – We all wish you a speedy recovery Rob Van Dam.

Don’t Try This At Home Commercial

King – J.R, what do you think Bischoff will announce next week concerning the World Heavyweight Championship.

J.R – King, I honestly don’t know. Next up though we have Trish Status against Jazz, and King this started off last week when Trish who teamed up with Victoria beat the team of Sable and the Women’s Champion Jazz.

Jazz’s Theme plays followed by that of Trish Stratus

The match starts with Jazz laying into Trish, swinging her into the ropes a couple of times and laying violent Clotheslines enough to take your head off. A few Suplexes by Jazz followed by a huge Body Press Slam. The strength of Jazz is on show to the whole arena. Jazz whips Trish into the ropes but Trish counters with a hurricanrana. And a Back Drop. Jazz goes for a side kick, but Trish ducks with the ‘’Matrix manoeuvre’’. She is just about to give us some ‘’Stratusfaction’’ until Sable comes out and distracts the referee, this lets Jazz lock the STF in and Trish is forced to tap.
Match Time: 4:35

Here is your winner: Jazz

Chris Benoit is pictured outside HHH’s Locker Room, HHH comes outside

Benoit – I want to know now, that you will be fair in my match and you will call it right down the middle.

HHH – Chris, you shouldn’t need to worry, I’ve got you covered. I will call it just as I see it. Trust me, I can handle it.

Triple H walks away to the Ring, Benoit looks back in anxiety

Commercial Break

J.R – We are just moments away from the 1-on-1 non-title match between Chris Benoit and Kane, and King what do you think about our Special Guest Referee appointed especially by our General Manager Eric Bischoff.

King – It’s none other than Triple H, J.R. He was the best choice for referee to go out there.

J.R – Didn’t you take one moment to think about how much The Game wants The World Heavyweight Championship? He says he will call that match down the line but I don’t believe him for one damn second, do you hear me.

King – Calm down J.R! It’s only one match!

J.R – Well I’m looking at the best interests of our Champion Chris Benoit and when he is put in a match like this, what are his chances?

The Game's, Theme is played, followed by Kane’s Theme, Then that of our World Heavyweight Champion Chris Benoit

The match starts with an Armbar Takedown by Chris Benoit. Kane counters this straight away and hits back with an uppercut. Benoit ducks one of Kane’s punches and Benoit hits him with 2 Release German Suplex’s. Benoit tries to pick Kane up but Kane grabs him by the throat and floors him with a Side-Backbreaker. Kane then climbs to the top Rope and hits Benoit with an Elbow Drop, but by accident also hits HHH. HHH is knocked out for a while. Benoit takes full advantage of the distraction applying many rest Holds. He then manages to get the 3 Germans on Kane and ‘’Slit’s his throat’’ motion signalling he is about to try the Headbutt. Benoit climbs to the top Rope and executes a perfect Headbutt nearly half the way across the Ring. Benoit then manages to get the Sharpshooter locked in but Kane is way to near the Ropes for it to have any effect whatsoever. Kane is back up and goes for a Clothesline which Benoit counters into the Crossface. Kane is tapping, but the referee is down. Benoit goes to pick up what is left of HHH, but HHH gets back up and nails him with what looks like Brass Nuts. Benoit is bleeding from the Forehead and is loosing a great amount of Blood, fast. Triple H then gets the Pedigree in and Kane gets a Chokeslam in. Kane covers Benoit and HHH makes the 3 count.

Here is your winner: Kane

J.R – You know King, I cannot believe the vile actions of that man HHH.

King – Ha Ha, J.R. I knew that this was a trick right from the beginning, and Benoit fell for it!

J.R – Well the thing now is what’s going to happen with the World Heavyweight Title? Kane now has a ‘’clean’’ pinfall over Chris Benoit.

King – J.R, don’t forget about Eric Bischoff’s ‘’Major Announcement’’ concerning Raw, Next Week right here on Monday Night Raw.

J.R – That’s right King, but tonight HHH showed that he is smart, he is The Game and he is THAT DAMN GOOD, Goodnight everybody.

The show finishes with HHH celebrating on the Ramp as a dejected Chris Benoit just manages to get the strength to look at him.
