[Previous Article] - [Next Article]|
RAW this week starts with music and pyro. There are three guys in the ring, one of which is rather fat. Vince comes down to the ring. Vince grabs a mic and has a smile on his face. He gets some heat and says that tonight’s main event is worthy of headlining WM, but it will be tonight. In one corner will be simply HHH. In the other corner is a great physical specimen - Vincent Kennedy McMahon. He guarran-damn-tees us he will win tonight. - Commercial Jeff Hardy comes out, London and Kendrick are with him. They enter the ring together for a 6 Man Tag Match. Cade and Murdoch come out with Shelton in tow. - Winners: Jeff Hardy, London & Kendrick Regal is out back in an office on the phone. Vince enters and hugs him, calling him the GM of RAW. Vince says Coach is under the weather tonight. They talk about how Cena will be facing Kennedy tonight. That match is second only to Vince’s tonight. Vince asks Regal a personal favor. He wants Regal to watch after his son. Regal asks, “Shane?” Vince says no, and Hornswoggle shows up. Vince leaves and Regal looks around for a missing Hornswoggle. Regal gets frantic. Video of Orton attacking Cena Sr. and kicked him in the head at the PPV. - Commercial Orton is on satellite. JR asks why he’s not there. Orton says he personally elected to night be there, he’s waiting in Chicago. He doesn’t want to deal with Cena in the state of mind Cena’s in. Orton wants to see the video of himself kicking Cena Sr. in the head again. They show it. Then they show the video of Cena Sr’s match against Orton. Orton says he did what he did for a reason. Cena Sr. wasn’t standing two weeks ago, the way Cena won’t be standing at NM. He asks how Cena’s head is, does he have his strategy set. Orton says he will do what it takes to have that belt around his waist. There are some Cleveland Indians in the front row. JR talks about the Diva Search and they show video of the girls doing the obstacle course. One will be eliminated tonight. Regal is out back still looking for Hornswoggle. He asks the Highlanders if he seen him. They say no. He then asks why they turned down a match with London and Kendrick. They said they want a title match. They came to become the Tag Team Champs, and will be doing it whether Regal likes it or not. - Commercial Cody Rhodes comes down to the ring. Video of his match last week with Hardcore Holly. Holly comes out to face Cody again. - Winner: Hardcore Holly Holly stands over Cody and looks down at him. Holly shakes his head a bit. - Commercial Beth comes out in a silver corset and black micro-mini. She’s wearing boots with heels, so I guess she’s not wrestling. She tells Lillian to stay because she wants to say something to Lillian and everyone else. She says that she’s the Glamazon. That means she’s as beautiful as she is dangerous. It’s just time until she beats Candice. HHH is getting read out back. Video of Umaga beating down the three guys at the start of the show. - Commercial They showed the Matrix style video again. This time the main theme was “savior.self”, from what I could see. Lillian struggles to announce Vince. Vince grabs a mic and says he wants to remind us all, and HHH, of a recent incident. Video of HHH beating Umaga with a chair and then the sledge. Lillian then announces HHH. Vince cuts off HHH part way through his posing. Vince wants to know where the ref is as there isn’t one in the ring. Vince is hanging out on the apron. Carlito’s music and he comes out in a striped shirt. Vince enters the ring. - Winner: Vince via DQ HHH stands over Vince but Umaga’s music hits. Umaga comes out and they start fighting. “HHH” chants. Umaga has the upper hand but HHH comes back. HHH hits two clotheslines but doesn’t drop him. Umaga goes for a Samoan drop but HHH wiggles out and hits DDT. Umaga jumps back up and hits a Samoan spike. HHH gets up, gets whipped but gets his feet up in Umaga’s face. HHH falls to the mat and Umaga hits a bum slam. Carlito enters and clotheslines HHH from the ring. Umaga is pissed and screams at Carlito who backs up the ramp. Vince is on the apron but HHH gets the sledge from under the ring. HHH enters the ring, but Vince gets Umaga out fo the ring. Vince tells Umaga to wait until Sunday. (The fans seemed to be going bloody wild during this whole bit - They love HHH!) - Commercial There’s two chairs set up in the ring. Santino and Maria come out. Maria is in leopard print, a corset and a micro-mini. Santino says it’s Marella At The Movies. He’s reviewing the Condemned. He rips it apart. Maria says she likes Stone Cold and it was a lot of fun. Santino rips it apart some more and says ti could have been special if it had a real star. Someone with charisma, someone the camera loves, like him. They show a clip, but Santino talks over it, adding his own bit to end it. He says there’s a job somewhere, at dinner theater or somewhere. Grisham is out back with Cena who gets mixed reviews from the fans. Grisham says that “they” say Cena might have lost his match due to psychological standpoint. Cena says he wants to talk about “they”. They says a lot of things. That Cena’s lost it, that he sucks, that Grisham has naked pictures of Umaga on his website. Deep down “they” know NM is Cena’s time. He could be hit with anything Orton can hold, and he will get up. “They” know he will stand tall in the middle of the ring, wearing his own blood if he must, but he will get up. Regardless of what they feels, when the weight of the world is on their shoulders there’s one man who will never quit. Let “them” talk. At NM he will beat Orton so bad “they” will never forget it. - Commercial Melina comes out in a red and black version of her wrestling outfit. Video of Melina in the shower last week. Hornswoggle chased her through the back and stole her towel leaving her to run naked. Mickie comes bouncing out in jeans and a white halter. - Winner: Mickie Melina goes under the ring. They’re under there for a long moment and Hornswoggle comes out with Melina’s top. Horney enters the ring with the top, thinks for a moment and then goes back under the ring. He comes back out with her bottoms. He dances in the ring for a moment. She sticks her head out a corner, holding the apron close and screams for her clothes. He dances in front of her then runs up the ramp with his trophies. - Commercial Hornswoggle is in Regal’s office holding Melina’s clothes. Regal takes them away. Horney kicks himself in the head a couple times. Steve-O shows up, plugs his show and then goes looking for a wuss. Horney has slipped away again. Regal flops down. “Steve-O” chants from the fans. JR and King go through the matches at No Mercy. Steve-O comes up to Ron and says Ron’s a bad-ass, but thinks he can make him more manly. He asks if Ron is interested. Ron thinks about it, grabs Steve-O and tosses him head-first through a door. Ron then says... “DAMN!” Cena’s music and he comes down to the ring. - Commercial Cena is still wearing his shirt, wandering the ring. Kennedy’s music and he finally comes out (feel bad for the fans there who had to watch only Cena through the commercial). Kennedy’s mic comes down and he says he doesn’t like Cena. What better way to make a statement than to take out the top dog. What better a man to commit such and act as Mr. Kennedy... Kennedy.
