Ric Flair & Batista vs. William Regal & Chris Benoit
All combinations and interactions rule like usual, neither team can really gain control for long but the faces usually come out on the winning side of a lot of the strikes. Flair is super on with his comedy/old man bumping tonight. Evolution manages to isolate Regal, it's fun, they don't really pick a body part just beat him up with strikes, all good looking strikes at that. It's crazy how Flair's figure-four just seems to be a mid-way throwaway submission, as Benoit comes in to break it up. BUT FUCK ALL THAT! FLAIR DID SOME TYPE OF DESPERATION LUCHA ROLL TO TAG BATISTA IN! Batista does his own HEADLOCK RANDY! hold but Regal fights out and tags Benoit, who does his usual great hot tag, running forearms, nasty chops, and suplexes. He hits the triple on Flair and hits the Diving Headbutt but as he goes for the Sharpshooter Flair pokes him in the eye. But, Benoit comes right back with a crossface attempt but BATISTA DEADLIFTS BENOIT OUT OF IT AND DROPS HIM! Batista and Regal fight on the floor but Batista hits the post and is sent to the crowd, while in the ring, Benoit counters the Figure-Four attempt into the Crossface for the win. ***

Backstage: Trish, Christian, and Tomko are all walking, Trish and Christian argue on who Tomko will accompany to the ring tonight (you do know he can walk out twice right?) Christian says he brought him in to solve HIS problems, but Trish says that Christian said Tomko would solve any of her problems too. Trish says she's the one with a title on the line and needs Tomko to make sure some mystery woman doesn't get her from behind. christian says it wouldn't be the first time she took it from behind, she says Tomko should decide. She whispers something in his ear, and Tomko says he'll escort Trish to the ring one last time. They walk off, and Christian says she really is a slut. WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU ENDING THIS?

WWE Woman's Championship: Victoria vs. Trish Stratus (w/Tyson Tomko)
A lot better than expected, heel Trish is great, constantly cheating, getting cocky and looking insanely hot. And this is Victoria's best showing all year, she doesn't look like she's going over the moves in her head as it happens and it's caught waiting for stuff. Victoria takes a great bump after going into the ringpost, and Trish works the neck, Victoria selling is pretty trash tho, she does semi-make up for it during her comeback which includes a headbutt and a dive onto Tomko cause FUCK HIM! but when she re-enters the ring she gets caught and Trish hits the strausfaction for the win. **3/4

After the Match; Tomko attacks Victoria and picks her up in the double choke hold, but the "Mystery Man" comes out and attacks Tomko and hits a DDT! As the crowd chant, "Stevie" Tomko grabs the mic, and says he's gonna solve the Mystery himself RIGHT NOW! JR calls it the worst kept secret, but King tells him to go along with it. So, JR does

Tyson Tomko vs. Mystery Woman
THIS GETS 6 AND A HALF FUCKING MINUTES, 6 OF THOSE MINUTES ARE TOMKO UNDRESSING THE MAN! AKA STEVEN RICHARDS! WITH STEVIE TRYING TO COVER HIS FACE SO WE DON'T SEE WHO IT IS, EVEN THOUGH WE'VE KNOWN SINCE THE FIRST TIME, WE SAW THIS SHIT! TYSON HAS A FUCKING HORRIBLE CONTROL ISOLATION PERIOD AND NOW IM DEBATING WOULD I RATHER WATCH THIS MATCH EVERY NIGHT OR MORDICI/HOLLY/GUNN EVERYDAY! FUCK WHO BOOKED THIS? WHY ARE THEY TRYING TO KILL RAW? Tomko calls him a sissy, which angers him the most and his comeback is a FUCKING DICK CLAW! He has this shitty, awful "anger" comeback with terrible dopkicks, but Stevie gets distracted looking at his bra on the mat, so Tomko his a spinning neckbreaker for the win. FUCK OFF! WORSE MATCH OF THE YEAR! WORSE THAN ALL THE TORRIE/DAWN OR TORRIE/SABLE MATCHES! WOW -*****

Ladder Match for the Vacant Intercontinental Championship: Chris Jericho vs. Christian
CLB rocking his Christmas inspired, green, red, white attire This starts off well, with the two of them just wrestling and doing their counter wrestling stuff which is always fun. They turn it into a brawl, and that's really good too, Jericho tries a crossody off the steps but Christian catches him with a boot to the gut and hits the unprettier on the floor. He takes too much time celebrating and climbing the ladder which allows Jericho to recover and pull him back down, the match now turns into a ladder match with the ladder being used as a weapon and spots with neither man successfully climbing the ladder. Cool spot, with the ladder set up standing and as Jericho goes for a running bulldog Christian throws him into the ladder, not really original, but, shit this is like the 12th ladder match since 2000. Both men take turns just beating the shit out of one another with the ladder, Jericho busts out the ladder/knee drop type move as he has Christian on his belly and leaps off the top dropping the ladder onto Christian previously injured back. They go a couple more minutes, and everything looks painful. They do the swinging spot with Christian hanging above the ring but Jericho grabs the ladder and hits him in the ribs causing Christian to fall to the mat. Jericho then has his failed attempt and hits throat first into the top rope. Both men climb up again and they do the walls spot on top, but it looks like shit compared to the Rumble 2001 one with Benoit. Christian shoves Jericho off who falls asshole first onto the side of the ladder. JESUS! A longer ladder is brought in, with both men fight over the belt, but the fuck up the finish with Jericho swinging the belt too far, it was supposed to hit Christian in the face but it went too far left and Christian tries to headbutt it but it barely hits him So they do a double face plant off the ladders, Jericho recovers first and climbs the ladder for the win. Tough, physical match. ***

Backstage: Todd Grisham goes to interview Kane, but Lita opens the door instead. Lita says she hopes Shawn Michaels beats the living hell out of her husband and hopes he crushes his throat for revenge. Kane comes over laughing, and says his wife is so supportive, he says Eric has made this match NoDQ. So, he's gonna destroy Shawn again, and his wife will be at ringside to watch it all. He then forces himself a KISS on his wife.

Backstage: Coachman interviews Jericho, Jericho says he feels like crap but being a 7 time IC champ is a record and feels like a king/champ. Edge comes over and congratulates him, he says he didn't come to rain on his parade, cause as soon as he's ready he's taking back what's his. Jericho says he'll be waiting.

No Disqualification Match: Shawn Michaels vs. Kane (w/Lita)
This gets 18 minutes because FUCK ME! Kane needs 18 minutes? So, essentially this isn't very good, for the most part, they work it as a straight single which means Kane wrestling so it's pretty awful. Pretty randumb and useless spot with Kane scoop slamming Shawn through the Spanish Tables, so Kane goes to work on the throat, which yeah, he should work the throat, but don't waste a table spot on a scoop slam if you're just gonna ignore any back work out of the random sidewalk slam or backdrop. Shawn doesn't tell shit anyway, so fuck all of this. Oh great, Shawn is now busted open after going into the ring post, this is just hilarious now. Kane grabs a chair but Shawn fights back, but for like the 15th time is cut off, I legit think 15 minutes in and Shawn's only offense has been his shitty punches, chops, and kicks. He hits his comeback stuff and hits the elbow drop, but Kane hits his own big boot to counter the SCM! Kane now goes up top and hits the clothesline, he goes for the Chokeslam but Shawn low blows him to break it. He grabs the chair and nails Kane with it, BUT KANE SITS UP! He goes to grab the chair, but Lita pulls it away. He argues with Lita and turns into Sweet Chin Music and Shawn covers to finally end this. First 16 minutes was awful, final 2 was decent enough to make this not worse than Tomko/Steven. *3/4

SHELTON BENJAMIN IS COMING BACK!

Backstage: Todd Grisham interviews Triple H, Todd asks Triple H if he thinks Orton will beat him tonight, just like he beat Benoit at SummerSlam lmao Triple H says Randy Orton is just like everyone else, he's just regular, he says he spent his whole worrying about potential, he was a loser until he met him. He calls Evolution the best of the best, and he's the reason for it. He says he chose Randy Orton for greatness, and he became great. He says Orton is very, very good but just isn't as good as him, and Orton knows it. Orton wouldn't have suits, women, a new house, a nice car, and he sure as hell wouldn't have the World Championship. Without him. He says he made Orton and will break Orton. He says he will become a NINE TIME WORLD CHAMPION! Because that World Title is more important than life it's self. Orton spit in my face, so now I'll spit in your face and leave as World Champion.

WWE World Tag Team Championships: La Resistance vs. Rhyno & Tajiri
This is decent enough, it's nothing we haven't seen the past month and a half now? Both Rhyno and Tajiri get iso'ed during the match, it meh. The match breaks down and Sylvan hit Rhyno with the flag and covered to win. The only highlight was the crowd chanting "USA" during the Tajiri/Conway portion of the match *3/4

Randy Orton/Triple H video package.

WWE World Heavyweight Championship: Triple H vs. Randy Orton
Early going is fun, with Orton out wrestling Hunter and embarrassing him with slaps and SPITS AGAIN! He then gets the better on the strikes too, until Hunter gets desperate and chop blocks the knee. He begins to work it and it's really good, I think Hunter works best working the knee cause he can just do all the stuff Flair did in the 80's. He wraps the knee around the ring post which I miss so much, GOD DAMN NEW ERA LED CARDBOARD RINGPOST GIMMICK! UGH! Orton's selling is tremendous, Hunter locks in the figure four, and for the 2nd match tonight, it's kinda used as a throwaway submission, like he locks it in for like 3 minutes and only breaks cause the ref Earl Hebner forces to break as he caught him using the ropes. Random as hell, Triple H gets busted open after being sent into the top of the ring post, lol he and Shawn really are BFF's. That sparks an Orton comeback, he "recovers" from his knee injury but out of instincts he hits the dropkick and reinjures the knee again, so that's awesome. He goes on to sell the leg pretty much the rest of the way or until the fuckery booking. The ref gets bumped, and Orton counters the Pedigree into the RKO. But no ref, so Flair and Batista run down, Orton manages to fight them off but Hunter low blows him and both men fall. But, here comes Coachman wearing a ref shirt he goes to count but Orton kicks out. Orton is first to his feet, and decks Coach but walks into a Batista spinebuster for another 2 count from Coach. Orton again counters the pedigree and drops Coach with an RKO. Flair is back in, he now has a chair but Orton pokes him in the eyes and drops him with an RKO. He then counters the Batista bomb with a low blow. But as he gets to his feet, Triple H KILLS HIM WITH A CHAIR SHOT! Hunter then follows with the pedigree on to the chair and slides the chair out and covers for the win. **3/4

King calls this Triple H's "DESTINY" as JR does his usual amazing hate rant about Triple H being a cheater and he doesn't think he can beat Orton 1on1.

 

[Chris]

lmao so glad they didn't edit out the Tomko/Richards match so you had to watch that shit too.

WWE Monday Night RAW
September 13th, 2004
Seattle, Washington

Batista, Ric Flair along with a bunch of average looking woman are in the ring. They also have a huge fucking cake. Flair introduces the NINE TIME WORLD CHAMPION! TRIPLE H! Triple H aks can you feel it? that is excitement in the air, THE KING IS BACK ON HIS THRONE! THE MAN! THE GAME! THE BIG DOG! THE KING OF KINGS! IS BACK ON TOP. He tells the ladies there will be plenty of time to get on their knees, now's not one of them he says the funny thing it seems like yesterday, but it was 3 weeks ago when that punk kid spit in his face (Even tho it did happen yesterday too) He says everyone laughed at him when he did it, but he who laughs last laughs best. He says now he spits in everyone's faces, cause NOW he stands as world champion. So, now it's time. Hunter starts getting undressed and stays it's time to party like a champion. He talks about the huge cake and says he can't wait for the girl in that. Both Flair and Batista deny setting it up, and Hunter says it was probably Bischoff. Hunter says this girl is dying to play the game, THERE'S A EXPLOSION ON TOP OF THE CAKE, AND RANDY ORTON COMES OUT OF THE CAKE FUCK YEAH! He cleans house on Flair and Batista and nails Hunter with the title sending him into the cake hole bit

Backstage: Triple H covered in icing and cake, along with the rest of Evolution barge into Eric Bischoff's office. Eric books Orton vs. Evolution, in a 3-1 Handicap match.

Chris Benoit (w/William Regal) vs. Robert Conway (w/Sylvan Granier)
Oh, hello, May/June 2004, we're back to this again. Fine. As upset as i am that Benoit is no longer in the main event, this Regal/Benoit team has potential, don't FUCK IT UP E Benoit really goes above and beyond in making Conway look good, he bumps and sells huge for him. Like Conway controls 70% maybe more of this, Benoit has a brief comebacks but the resistance keeps cheating until Regal as seen enough and decks Sylvan on the floor. That allows Benoit to make a full comeback and lock Conway in the crossface for the win. **1/2

Tonight: Shawn Michaels on the Highlight Reel, and Diva Search Finalists in a Seattle Knockout challenge.

SHELTON BENJAMIN IS COMING BACK!

Stacy comes out in the shortest of short skirts, and the fucking cameraman doesn't get the ASS SHOT! FIRE HIM! Stacy goes to introduce the Diva Search hopefuls but Molly Holly comes out instead. Molly calls it pathetic that all these none wrestlers are getting camera time instead of her, a former Woman's Champion. She also calls Stacy pathetic for being apart of this and challenges her to any type of competition Stacy wants. Stacy chooses a dance-off. Molly asks to dance to something classy, like William Regal's music and dances ballet, it's hilariously amazingly, bad. Stacy does her halftime cheerleader routine and wins cause ASS AND LEGS! Molly attacks her from behind, which brings out Nidia for the save. But, Gail comes out and Stacy bails lol leaving it 2-1, for the heels. But Victoria runs down and makes the save of her own. But that brings out Trish who gets her ass beat lol. Eric appears on the tron and books a 6-Woman's Tag Match NOW!

Stacy Keibler, Nidia & Victoria vs. Molly Holly, Gail Kim & Trish Stratus
Heels' isolate Nida, it's fine, should have been better but Nidia isn't good at all. Victoria has an okayish hot tag, the match breaks down and Stacy blind tags in and rolls Molly up for the win.

Backstage: Kane barges into Eric's office, he tells Eric he didn't sleep at all last night...............CAUSE HIS BITCH WIFE COST HIM HIS MATCH LAST NIGHT! He tells Eric he can make it up to him, but giving him a match with Shawn. Eric says he can give him that match any other night, just not tonight as he's in the Highlight Reel NEXT! Eric says what he can do is find some local jobber and put him in a NoDQ match with KANE tonight, so he can do anything he wants, no questions asked.

The Highlight Reel is set up in the ring, Chris Jericho comes out, Jericho says this may be the Highlight Reel, but his highlight was winning that brutal ladder match last night, and becoming the Intercontinental Champion for the 7th time. He says the victory was the sweetest, and his guest tonight also won last night and he is the master of Sweet chin music... Shawn Michaels. He says his win was gratifying, but Jericho says yeah it was impressive but not as impressive as his. Shawn says that's the reason he's out here, and in his wrestling gear, Shawn says as he looks back. THEY NEVER FINISHED IT! THEY'RE TIED! SO HE CHALLENGES JERICHO TO A MATCH FOR THE IC TITLE! FUCK YEAH! BRINGING UP HISTORY! Christian and Tomko come out, Christian says seeing Shawn out her reminds him of a guy, that guy started off in a tag team, then had a ladder match at WM, got a little cocky, got himself a bodyguard, and became one of the greatest of all time. And no, it's not Shawn, IM TALKING ABOUT THE CHRONICLES OF CHRISTIAN! He says Shawn has a lot of nerve coming out here asking for a title match when last night he proved he is the greatest Ladder match competitor of all time. Shawn says he'll have to beat him first. Jericho says Shawn hasn't been here, but he knows what Christian and Tomko are all about. He says while Shawn is kicking Christian's ass, making him a CLB, Tomko will just get involved anyway. So, Jericho negotiates a tag match right now, naming Tomko as Goat Boy, and Tomko accepts.

Chris Jericho & Shawn Michaels vs. Christian & Tyson Tomko
This gets 10 minutes or so, faces control early until Tomko throws a nice clothesline giving is team control. Christian/Shawn is fun, Tomko tries to make us forget about that abortion of a match last night, so he tries really hard at being some type of bodyguard even though he still sucks. Jericho has a fun hot tag, he cleans house on both men and we get stereo plancha's from both Shawn and Jericho as we go to break when we return, the heel team are now working over Jericho after Christian hung him up on the top rope. Shawn's hot tag is fun, he cleans house as the match breaks down. He hits the elbow drop off the top and signals for Sweet Chin Music, but behind the refs back Cristian crotches him into the ring post. Christian then picks up the IC title, but Jericho tackles him and both men roll to the floor. Tomko goes for the big boot, but Shawn ducks and hits the Superkick for the win. **3/4

After the match; Christian attacks Shawn from behind, and hits the unprittier on the floor. CLB/HBK feud

The Simon System

Coachman is in the ring, he brings out the 3 remaining Diva Search hopefuls, JOY IS ELIMINATED! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! FUCK EVERYTHING! YOU FANS ARE TERRIBLE HUMANS' Christy and Carmella gets ready for the "Seattle Boxing Challenge" when Vince comes out, he power walks/Vince struts down to the ring, he says next week is the "season premiere of Raw" how can it be a season premiere if there is no offseason? Vince hypes up and promises a big announcement relating to Eric Bischoff, the RAW locker room and all the fans. But first, Coach was misformed about this Boxing challenge, the girls are not hitting eachother they are hitting Coach and if he doesn't stand and take it as a man.................................HE'S FIRED! Both ladies put on some giant boxing gloves. Christy beats the shit out of him for 30 seconds which includes a straight punch to the dick. Carmella beats the shit out of him with great 1-2 technique even knocking Coach out. The fans vote Christy the winner, cause Carmella is a bitch even though her technique was sound. I

I miss Joy

No Disqualification Match: Kane (w/Lita) vs. GENE SNITSKY
This goes all of 2 minutes, Kane dominates 99% of the match, he grabs a steel chair and goes to do what he did to Shawn in June but Lita takes it away. He then corners Lita in the corner but FROM BEHIND SNITSKY HITS KANE IN THE BACK AND HE FALLS ON TOP OF LITA! She starts grabbing her belly and yelling in pain. Kane yells for a doctor and EMT's and out they come. So the match is over, oh well.

Lita is stretched out as the fans chant "BABY KILLA"

SMACKDOWN REBOUND!

Lita is being loaded into an ambulance, with the other Diva's watching on in horror. Kane goes with her.

Evolution vs. Randy Orton
This gets like 3 maybe 4 minutes tops, Orton does a great job fighting the odds, it like Orton vs. Someone for like a minute. Orton does the bump low blow onto Hunter but as he goes for the RKO, Hunter shoves him off into a Batista LARIAT! They begin triple teaming him and the ref calls for the bell ASAP

After the match; SHELTON MAKES HIS RETURN EARLY AND TRIES TO MAKE THE SAVE BUT FAILS! Benoit then runs down and evens the odds allowing the faces to fight back and win. Hunter and Flair get taken to the floor. Orton grabs a chair and scares them off. He then hits Batista with it allowing Shelton to hit the Stinger Splash, and corner clothesline, as Benoit follows with the Diving Headbutt. Benoit then allows Orton to get the final move and allows him to RKO Batista to end the show.

 

[Deezy]

baby killer Snitsky

 

[Chris]

You're so close to the baby punt also idk when it is but soon on RAW, Kane and Snitsky injure each other off the stage or something and I went to a raw house show that weekend and I only remember this bc they were still selling it with taped ribs and Kane scared tf out of 8 year old me during the match

FUCKING TORRIE WILSON COMES OUT! LOOKING YEAH! I MEAN YEAH! SHE SAYS STUFF I DON'T REMEMBER BECAUSE THE THE BLOOD RUSHED TO ANOTHER HEAD.

Match #4 in the Best of 5 Series for the WWE United States Championship: John Cena [1] vs. Booker T [2]
Booker goes on the aggressive early, as Cena plays it a bit tentative, I like that they keep going for covers after everything or trying to get a quick pin. Bookers kicks look great, and give Cena credit he really leans in so really gets nailed in the head. Including one nasty superkick, in which Booker catches him right in the JAW! But, this isn't without some sloppy moments, this is weird as there quilty of matches seems to regress as they go along which is pretty hilarious. Booker has all of Cena's stuff scouted, it's a shame they didn't build off that and instead, Booker grabs the US title but Nick Patrick took it away, allowing Cena to roll up for two. They go a couple more minutes with Cena teeing off on Booker even shoving the ref, which should have been a DQ but whatever. Booker then grabs the US title again and nails Booker with it but again only gets two. Cena gets up and hits the FU straight away for the win. 2-2. **1/2

Backstage: Theodore Long is talking with the Big Show, so he's fine with Show beating up his whole roster cool. Long says he has two contracts with him for a contract signing tonight. He says he has 1, for a match against Eddie or 2, for a match against Kurt Angle. And he's gonna need a decision by later tonight, PLAYA

Hogan, Foley, Steph, Vince and Stone Cold Steve Austin all on next weeks 5-year Smackdown Anniversary.

Michael Cole is in the ring and introduces Billy Kidman. Cole asks Kidman if he quit last week and to be honest. Kidman says he isn't a quitter, and he just didn't want to hurt anyone else with the SSP. Which is pretty Noble of him tbf. He calls himself the most misunderstood superstar in the WWE and just like that, I hate him. He says he isn't afraid to do the SSP, he's just afraid of hurting people. He goes over hurting Chavo and says it's because of him Chavo has a concussion, but thankfully he can still provide for his family someday. YET I'M THE QUITTER! I'M THE BAD GUY FOR NOT WANTING TO DO THAT TO OTHERS! He calls the fans blood thirty for wanting to see him injure people. Paul London comes out and asks why Kidman agreed to defend the belts last week if he wasn't afraid. He says Kidman cost them the belts, and he's a quitter. Kidman says he doesn't have to explain himself to him, so London slaps him, and Kidman just walks out instead.

Smackdown Throwback! May 24th, 2001 - TLC III

Rob Van Dam & Rey Mysterio vs. The Dudley Boyz (w/Spike Dudley)
This wasn't as good as the May Smackdown match. Only good thing is this is around 5 minutes instead of 15, and it's mostly Bully Bubba offense and Rey in the ring. RVD's shitty tag happens, RVD kicks D-Von into Bubba knocking him off the apron, Rey then dives onto Bubba on the floor and RVD hits the Frog Splash for the win. *3/4

After the match; Spike yells at them for being losers. He low blows D-Von and yells Bubba "HE'S THE BOSS" Bubba says he's Sorry Dudleyz have been beating the shit out of Spike since '97 and now you want me to believe he's the Boss, yeah, okay.

Taz and Cole show footage of Cole/Heyman last week, Cole says Heyman is the most disgusting and most irritating person he's ever come in contact with.

Backstage: Eddie goes into Show's dressing room, he says no one was more surprised to see him like he was last week. He commends Big Show on what he did last week and says he didn't have a problem with it, the only problem was he did it to him and at his expense. Eddie tells him to sign the one that says Eddie Guererro.

Backstage: JBL and OJ are talking, JBL says people are starting to believe that he is afraid of The Undertaker and says he needs to show that isn't the case. OJ asks what he has in mind, and JBL says he gonna CALL OUT THE UNDERTAKER! OJ advises against it, but JBL says he'll never be the greatest WWE Champion of all time if people think he fears another man.

John Bradshaw Layfield & Orlando Jordan come down to the ring, JBL says he's gonna prove to all his fans he's worthy of their adulation. He says he doesn't flip-flop, WHAT I SAY I DO! He calls Taker out, and outcomes Taker, you know after his 3-minute entrance. JBL sends OJ to the back, and JBL and Taker fight. Taker gets the best of it before OJ comes back out WITH GANGREL AND VISCERA WHAT THE FUCK! WHY DON'T I REMEMBER THIS lmao They beat down Taker, with Viscera hits a sitdown double chokeslam. They continue to put the boots to him as JBL taunts, but TAKE SITS OUT AND FIGHTS OFF ALL 3 MEN WITH JBL ON THE FLOOR. He hits the corner clothesline on all three men, he throws Gangrel over the top, chokeslam to OJ and big boot to Big Vis, but he turns and JBL nails him with a Clothesline from Hell. All 4 beat on Taker again and this time leave him laying AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA! This is the cabinet before the cabinet

Rene and Kenzo have a mash-up theme

Rene Dupree & Kenzo Suzuki (w/Hiroko & FiFi) vs. The F.B.I
So this happens they do stuff, it's terrible................BUT FUCK ALL THAT! HEIDENREICH COMES THROUGH THE CROWD AND KIDNAPS MICHAEL COLE! Tazz walks after them, leaving us without commentary, Rene pins Stamboli with the Michinoku Driver.

IT'S HAPPENING!

RAW REBOUND!

​

Backstage: Luther Reigns goes into Show dressing room, he says if he was Show he would pick to face Eddie Guererro. Luther asks him to join, he and Kurt.

Match #5 in the best of 5 series takes place at No Mercy.

​

Charlie Haas (w/Miss Jackie) vs. Spike Dudley (w/The Dudley Boyz)
Taz is back, but Cole isn't, cause you know, RAPE AND POEMS! I skipped this shit cause I was too busy laughing my ass off. You know, RAPE AND POEMS! Dudleyz attack for a DQ, they beat him down afterward, but Rico runs out making his return and saves Charlie. CAUSE YEAH! THIS IS WHAT WE WANT TO SEE AGAIN! 2004 Smackdown roster is WWF 1995 level of terrible.

I SPIT IN THE FACE OF PEOPLE WHO DON'T WANT TO BE COOL!

Next Week: The Undertaker vs. Gangrel & Viscera

GM Theodore Long is in the ring, he brings out The Big Show, Eddie Guerrero & Kurt Angle. Kurt says Show might think after breaking his leg he might want revenge against him, but he doesn't. He says everyone knows Kurt Angle doesn't hold grudges he says he's a businessman, and for business purposes, no body wants to see Kurt Angle vs. The Big Show, it's bad business. He says he should pick Eddie cause people want to see him brutalize and destroy Eddie Guererro and send these people a message, that he will fight for them and send Eddie on a downward spiral ending his career. Eddie says if Show wants a fight, he'll make sure he'll remember him, and No Mercy for the rest of his life. Show now has to choose, and the crowd chants for a three-way. Show signs to face Eddie, but Kurt and Luther deck Eddie from behind. Kurt begins to clap and signals for Show to choke slam him. Show fake laughs and breaks Eddie's contract and signs the Kurt one too. Kurt and Luther fake leave but they attack Show, Eddie comes back and helps show clean house. T.Long then books The Big Show & Eddie Guererro vs. Kurt Angle & Luther Reigns, in da main event. Playa. What a terrible main event for the 5-year Anniversary

Also, how does breaking a clipboard with a contract on it, that you signed, make the contract terminated? you can't go out in the world, sign a bunch of contracts then break them just because you broke the clipboard with the contract on it. 1, THE PAPERS STILL ALL TOGETHER?!?!?!?!?!? Now if he would have ripped the paper up, then we have a different conversation. So, this should be a 3 way like the fans chanted for. Fuckin' T.LONG!

 

[Chris]

There was obviously a clause in the contract that said show could change his mind at anytime come on when you're watching shit this bad you gotta make up your own headcanons so you don't hate yourself

WWE Monday Night RAW
September 20th, 2004
Tucson, Arizona

FIRST TIME WATCHING THIS RAW!

Vince McMahon comes down to the ring, he brings out Eric Bischoff out to the ring too. He says a few weeks ago, when Eric was in the ring with Jericho, Jericho had a great idea of having the fans vote on the match. Therefore, they're gonna have fan participation not just for one match, but a whole PPV. He says imagine WWE fans voting championships, and who would face the world champ, type of match, and what the Diva's wear. Vince says he's set aside a date, Tuesday, October the 19th, in Milwalkie. And it will be called TABOO TUESDAY! Eric says it's a great idea.....on paper, he says these people rely on him to make great decisions. He says the fans don't have the ability to make the right decisions, he says Vince is a busy man and tells Vince to sleep on it for a week, so he can have a much better idea for him. Vince tells him to stop patronizing him, and there's a reason Eric's the GM of Raw, and Vince McMahon isn't the GM of Nitro. Vince says Eric is probably feeling left out of the PPV, so he'll put him in a match. Eric says his foot still hurts from the sledgehammer, so Vince says his opponent is also hurt, and he brings out Eugene in a sling. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! JR YOU TOLD ME HIS WRESTLING IS OVER WITH!!! HE LIED! Vince gives an example of some of the match stipulations, Loser is the Winner's Servant, Loser Wears a Dress, and Loser Is Shaved, Bald. Uncle Eric tries to get out of it by sweet talking Eugene and offers to buy him ice cream, but Eugene KO's him with a punch. Eugene hugs Vince and they leave. UGH!

Backstage: Orton is reading the RAW magazine when Vince comes over, he says it sucks doesn't it. Orton asks what he means and Vince says reality, one day you're on top of the world, the next. IT'S ALL GONE! Orton says the next time he's on the cover it will be him standing over Triple H hold the world title. Orton says it's destiny. Vince says with Taboo Tuesday, he has the opportunity to prove he deserves the title match against Triple Hand says at Taboo Tuesday, the fans will decide who faces Triple H for the World Title. Orton says tonight's match will be decided by the sweetest three letters in wrestling today. R.K.O.

Lawler and JR interview Gene Snitsky, who is in the back. Gene Snitsky says "IT WASN'T HIS FAULT"

At a hospital, I'm guessing in Seattle, Washington cause no way WWE would have Lita and Kane fly out to Tucson, Arizona to shoot a segment in a hospital Todd Grisham is standing by and says he's waiting to get comments from KANE.

Tajiri (w/Rhyno) vs. The Hurricane (w/Rosey)
This happens, it's fine for face vs. face, I would just prefer dick heel Tajiri kicking the shit out of him for 4 minutes. Tajiri countered a pin by Hurricane into a crucifix pin for the win. After the match; Hurricane is pissed and snatches his mask back from the fan he gave it to when he came out. **

At the Hospital, Todd Grisham asks for a status update from Kane, Kane says this hasn't been one of Lita's better days, the doctors are doing everything possible, but now they're telling him it's a 50/50 possibility she keeps the baby. Todd brings up what Snitsky said, and Kane says that was no accident, and no matter what happens to his wife or the baby, Snitsky is a dead man.

CAPTAIN CHARISMA! Christian comes out and joins commentary.

WWE Intercontinental Championship: Shawn Michaels vs. Chris Jericho
I'm pretty excited that I've never seen this before, they start off mat and counter wrestling, it's not on Kurt/Eddie level but its respectable. They kinda just do some aimless stuff, until Christian runs down, he tries to interfere but Shawn knocks him off the apron allowing Jericho to hit his step up enziguri as we go to break, also while that was happening Ref Earl Hebner sent Christian to the back. Shawn begins working the knee, and again the Figure-Four is used as a midmatch throwaway hold. Shawn randomly breaks it just to stomp on the knee some more, FUCKIN' JERICHO HE'S NOT SELLING THE KNEE A LICK! I BLAME SHAWN FOR THIS AS SHAWN IS HIS IDOL AND SHAWN DOESN'T SELL! They go into counter moves, and counter pins as JR and King talk about how both guys mirror images of one another. Jericho tries to get aggressive with the mount position with punches, but Shawn shoves him off. Jericho locks in the Walls but now Tomko is here. Jericho breaks the hold to dropkick Tomko off the apron but when he turns around he turns into Sweet Chin Music from Shawn. Shawn slowly goes to cover but Christian is back out again and attacks both men for the DQ. **1/2

After the match; Tomko boots Jericho in the face, then holds Shawn up for Christian to beat him down again.

Ahhhh man, we're totally getting Jericho/Christian/Michaels or Christian/Shawn at Taboo Tuesday

SMACKDOWN REBOUND...................IS INTERRUPTED BY TODD! They cut to the Hospital, the nurse tells Todd to leave as in the background we hear KANE YELLING "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

Backstage: Evolution are talking, Hunter says he doesn't like this whole Taboo Tuesday thing. Batista says screw the fans, and Flair says Orton might not even make it to Taboo Tuesday. He puts over Hunter as usual, and says we're that DAMN GOOD! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Recap of the whole Diva Search so far. Joy

Sylvan Granier (w/Robert Conway) vs. Maven
NOPE!

Back at the hospital, Todd interviews the Doctors, they say they lost the baby and KANE BUSTS OUT OF THE ROOM! He has this amazing mental breakdown. Still screaming "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO"

Rip, baby KANE-LITA!

Simon System. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Coachman is in the ring and brings out the two Diva Search finalists, Coach says he still doesn't appreciate what they did to him last week. And says they both have made an enemy for life in THE COACH! He goes to announce the winner, but Trish comes out wearing this classy little black dress. Trish says this is it, she just wanted to congratulate the two of them for all that eating they've done and what they will spend the money on. She tells Christy to buy some decaf, and maybe Carmella can by some personality. She says she'll throw them a victory party next week, and attendance is mandatory. Trish leaves, and Coach reveals that Christy won. She talks about being happy and shit, and Carmella says everyone loves to hate.

I went this whole show and just realized they have don't have the stage tonight, it's just on the ground with the normal RAW tron.

Evolution vs. Chris Benoit, Shelton Benjamin & Randy Orton
So this gets 18 minutes and again this is my first time seeing it ever Shelton and Hunter start, they do a lot of what they did in their early matches with Shelton outwrestling Hunter and getting the better of him during the strikes, making you think maybe Shelton does have his number. BENOIT/FLAIR VIOLENCE! That might be the MVP pairing of 2004. Fucking hell, Benoit hits the Diving Headbutt like 20 seconds into his fight with Flair. The match breaks down, Orton goes to RKO Hunter on the floor, but Hunter shoves him into the ring post. Then as he gets up BATISTA KILLS HIM WITH THE KNOCKOUT LARIAT! Then during the break, Orton is helped to the back leaving it 3-2. Evolution iso Shelton now, its fun, at first they all just do some shit and take turns beating on young Mr. Benjamin. Flair going bazzirk with chokes and chops is great, but Flair being the greatest of all time chop blocks the knee and begins working, so the rest of Evolution work over it too. Shelton sells it too, really well, he hobbles and doesn't try to run the ropes. Benoit's hot tag it Benoit's hot tag. He hits Flair with the triple rolling Germans but can't lock in the Crossface, as Hunter breaks it up. He then hits both Batista and Triple H with Germans and applies the Sharpshooter. But, Batista recovers and connects with a spinebuster. Shelton takes Batista out, Orton runs out and tags Benoit's back, he cleans house and hits Flair with the RKO for the win. Good shit. ***1/2

JR losing his voice while trying to scream RKO is the greatest thing ever.

WWE Smackdown
September 23rd, 2004
Phoenix, Arizona

Backstage: Vince welcomes us to the 5-year anniversary and "season premiere", he says tonight we will relive some classic moments while hoefully making some new ones.

RIP! Smackdown theme "I want it all" and LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL THEY HAVE SOME AWFUL DUBBED SONG OVER
"Rise Up"

Billy Kidman vs, Paul London
As soon as the bell rings, Kidman leaves the ring and walks to the back. He is counted out. So, why didn't London just attack him and roll him back in? They do it every match when a heel goes to leave?

Booker T comes out now, London tells him to bring it. So the match is on, I guess.

Paul London vs. Booker T
This is about 3 minutes or so, it's basically a Booker showcase on offense. Booker connects with a nasty back elbow and London is bleeding from the nose, it doesn't look broken but a fair bit of blood flows out. London has a solid comeback, but Booker rolled through a Crossbody off of the ropes and put his feet on the ropes for leverage to win. **1/2

After the match; Booker T says he hopes Cena was watchign take that punk ass kid to school, just like he's gonna do to him. And prove that Booker is the true undisputed United States Champion. But, from behind London decks him.

In a pre-tape, or some hidden DVD footage. Foley says his favorite moment was when he picked the Rocks shades up during a promo. Also, when Mankind became Cactus Jack on January 2000

Backstage: Kidman has his bags when T.Long comes over, he says he doesn't know what Kidman's problem is (I guess T.Long isn't watching the show) he says he made a match tonight, because he knew its what the people want, just like the people want to see the SSP. Long says he doesn't want a quitter on his show, so at No Mercy, he will face London again, and if he no-shows or leaves he will have no problem firing him.

Backstage: Dawn Marie is getting ready for her match.

Backstage: Josh Mathews is with both Spike and Rey, Spike says he did what he had to do to become champion. Rey says he's looking at him in the eyes and letting him know he will stop at nothing to get his title back. He begins to speak Spanish when Kenzo comes over he stops him mid-way and says "You are in America, you must speak English right now....or you will be sorry" Rey then decks Kenzo with the mic and shoves Spike before running away.

Smackdown Throwback! January 24th, 2004 - Rock makes Coach dance the Charleston.

WWE Cruiserweight Championship: Rey Mysterio vs. Spike Dudley
This happens it's pretty garbage, the Dudleyz get ejected early for interfering. They go a couple more minutes, but as Rey looks to put it away but the ref gets bumped. Rene and Kenzo run out. Rene whips Rey into Kenzo who hits the Claw/STO on the floor, he rolls Rey in and Spike covers for the win. *3/4

After the match; They put the boots to Rey, but RVD makes the save.

Recap of the WrestleMania press conference in Hollywood.

In a pre-tape; Stephanie says her favorite Smackdown moment was slapping her mother & when she made out with Kurt No wonder Hunter decked him on RAW this week

During the Break; Theodore Long booked Rene/Kenzo vs. Rey/RVD for the title at No Mercy.

Taz brings up Heidenreich and shows the footage again. RAPE!

Backstage: Heidenreich is walking as Cole freaks out as he thinks he's on his way out here, he then walks into Mr. McMahon's office.

Smackdown Throwback! June 12th, 2003 - SUPERPLEX THROUGH THE RING! (Didn't they already show this during one of the shitty SD's)

John Bradshaw Layfield and Orlando Jordan come out in the Limo, they end up watching through the sunroof of the Limo

Handicap Match: The Ministry (Gangrel & Viscera) vs. The Undertaker
FUCKING ATROCIOUS! Taker wins. BLAH! after the match; Taker moves the steps and grabs a chair. He does the THROAT CRUSHER TO BIG VIS AND STARES DOWN JBL! He gives the 2 down, 2 to go hand signs.

Backstage: Heidenreich is talking to Vince, he says they are both alike and people are scared of them. He reads Vince a poem. It's trash. Vince thanks him, so he can FUCK OFF!

School Girl Match: Torrie Wilson & Dawn Marie vs. Mae Young and The Fabulous Moolah
NOPE!

In a pre-tape; Steve Austin says his favorite Smackdown moment is entertaining the troops last year & Singing to Vince McMahon with Kurt Angle.

John Cena cuts a rap on top of one of the WWE trucks.

Eddie Guererro vs. Luther Reigns has been added to No Mercy

Kurt Angle says he doesn't understand, he's been the #1 Smackdown star since the beginning. He's beaten them all and yet, he wasn't asked about his favorite moments. Ironman match, winning the WCW title or kissing Steph. He says he's provided more classic moments than anyone and is still disrespected. He calls Show a disgrace and says fact is Show has no idea what he signed himself up for and if he's not gonna be asked about his favorite SD moment he will make one and one that no one will forget.

In a pre-tape; Hollywood Hogan says he greatest Smackdown Moment was winning the Tag Team Championships with Edge on July 4th, 2002.

Kurt Angle & Luther Reigns vs. Eddie Guererro & The Big Show
So this is garbage, Luther and Show both suck, Eddie and Kurt half-ass it. Mark Jindrak runs down making his return causing a DQ. It's 3-2 with Luther hitting Eddie with a spinning neckbreaker on the floor taking him out. Show tries to fight back, but Kurt shoots him with a FUCKING TRANQUILIZER DART INTO SHOW'S BACK! Show slowly goes down and is out cold. Jindrak runs to the back and comes back out with scissors, and Kurt begins to cut Big Show's hair off. As Cole yells "KURT ANGLE IS RAPING THE BIG SHOW HIS DIGNITY"

If anyone knows about RAPE it would be cole.

 

[Chris]

Viscera got signed back after this and we got the love machine but gangrel never got another chance lmao

WWE Monday Night RAW
September 27th, 2004
Kansas City, Missouri

Tonight: Michaels/Jericho vs. Christian/Tomko II & Lita speaks.

Eric Bischoff is in the ring, he says Taboo Tuesday is official, but in his opinion giving the fans the chance to make matches is just WRONG! He says this isn't about his ego, and there is no fan here or watching that has the ability to make the right decision. He says what done is done, he says he's here to give the fans their 4 choices on who could face Triple H at Taboo Tuesday, Shawn Michaels, Chris Benoit, Edge, and Randy Orton. He says he won't just reward Orton, and if Orton wants on the ballot, he has to win a No DQ match tonight vs. Batista, and if he loses, he's off the ballot. Triple H comes down to the ring. He says it's a load of crap that the fans are deciding his fate, he says they pay money to see him, not to decide his fate. Hunter says he doesn't come to their jobs and decide their fate, he doesn't come to fat boys job and tells him when the fries are done. I don't come to this chick's job and tell her what street corner to stand on. But what done is done, and you may think you finally got one over on me, well WRONG! I'm gonna do what I always do, I will leave Taboo Tuesday as World Champion. Shelton comes out and grabs the mic out of Triple H's hand, he says he has a few choices for Triple H, quit your whining, quit your complaining, quit your crying, or since you and me can't get along. Let's GET IT ON! Hunter sucker punches and Eric calls for a ref.

Triple H vs. Shelton Benjamin
The usual goodness between the two, Hunter goes above and beyond making Shelton look good in bumping and having Shelton always be one step ahead. Hunter does whether the storm and sends him into the ring post before the break when we return Shelton tries to make a comeback but Hunter goes right back to the arm. Shelton's selling is great during the work but forgets when he makes his big comeback. Triple H goes for the arm breaker that he did against Eugene but Shelton counters and hits an arm drag off the top, he hits the dragon whip kick and hits a T-Bone power slam for two. Shelton then counters the pedigree into the side Russian Leg sweep and connects with the flying clothesline off the top for two. Shelton knocks Hunter to the floor and they fight some more until Triple H hits Shelton in the head with the world title belt for a DQ. **3/4

After the match; Triple H shoves the ref to the floor and hits the Pedigree on Mr. Benjamin on the floor.

Recap of Christy winning the RAW Diva Search last week.

Simon Dean "The Simon System" ~ 3 easy payments of $43.99 ($7.95 S&H)

The Hurricane & Rosey vs. Rhyno & Tajiri
Solid face vs. face team match, Tajiri, and Rhyno do a great job throwing everything at Rosey but they cannot knock him off his feet. And Rosey does a good job at being that brick wall who doesn't move and cuts them off. Rhyno does manage to get him off his feet with a big shoulder block, and Hurricane come in, and he has some good interactions with Tajiri as usual and with Rhyno which was shocking. He avoids the gore and tags in Rosey who hits a swinging rock bottom for the win. **3/4

Backstage: Todd Grisham and Kane are sitting down, Kane says Lita is still in a state of shock, she barley eats, she doesn't speak. Kane says no matter what Lita truly felt about me, she loved our baby. It was the one thing we shared. But now we don't share anything anymore. Kane says there are no words to describe how they are feeling. He says they found out it was a boy, but now, now out son is DEAD! But our son won't die alone, GENE SNITSKY IS A DEAD MAN!

SMACKDOWN REBOUND!

Backstage: Regal and Benoit are talking about Taboo Tuesday when Eugene comes in with scissors and tries to cut Regal's hair to practice for Taboo Tuesday. Regal says he has a good idea of how he can practice, and Regal walks off. Eugene raises the scissors to Benoit's hair and Benoit says don't even think about is and Eugene runs off.

In a pre-tape, Gene says he's sorry they lost their baby, but for the record "IT WAS NOT HIS FAULT" and if Kane has a problem with that, he can find him next week on RAW.

Gene Snitsky vs. Val Vinis
GENE SQUASH!

"Baby Killa" might be my favorite all-time chant ever.

Ric Flair makes his way down to the ring, LOOKING FLY AF IN THIS CREAM SUIT! Flair says he's got 3 real problems, 1, Randy Oron. 2, The use of the word "GREAT" and 3, the use of the word "LEGEND" He says the day Orton became the world champ, he became great, only the select few become great. But what he's struggling with is this t-shirt, this nickname, and this pat on the back with everyone calling him a Legend Killer. He asks what legends Orton's actually killed. Shawn Michaels? Not a legend yet. Harley Race? A legend, but he wore out Harley Race everytime he was in this building. He says Bret Hart is a man too busy looking at pictures of himself, Hulk Hogan would rather be in movies, and Mick Foley is a human stuntman. A LEGEND, NEVER! He says there is one legend who can WALK THAT AISLE! ME 16 TIMES WORLD CHAMPION! 16 TIME! WOOOOOOOOO! He says Randy Orton might be great, and until he beats the Nature Boy, he will never be a Legend Killer. Great, Yes, Legend Killer, Never. Randy Orton comes out, Orton says that what you think, he says he has no problem telling Ric he is the greatest Legend this business has ever seen. DAMMIT! YOU ARE RIC FLAIR! Orton says his idolized him as a kid and says he used to sneak into his parents' bathroom, put on a robe, and strut around like he was Ric Flair. And when he got to be in Evolution and stand next to Flair, it was a dream come true. He says he learned a lot from Flair and could have learned a lot more. He says he probably couldn't have beaten Chris Benoit for the World Title if not for Ric Flair, and says Ric Flair is The Man. Which is why it's so tragic to see what he's become. He says Flair might call him full of it for saying he's a Legend Killer, but Flair's full of it himself for coming out every week and telling the world how Triple H is the best wrestler alive and he knows that deep down it isn't true. Flair yells at him for trying to stir the pot, and he says Triple H is the best. Orton says Ric is the man, but let's face it, he does what Triple H tells him to do. He's not a legend, he's a lapdog, and a glorified cheerleader and this generation is going to remember Ric Flair for kissing Triple H's ass. Orton says Ric can change that and save his legacy while he still can, and a true legend takes crap from nobody. HOLY SHIT! THIS STILL HOLDS UP!

Shawn Michaels & Chris Jericho vs. Christian & Tyson Tomko
Decent, the faces jump the heels on the ramp and they have a mini-brawl which I would have liked to last a little longer, but they go right into the heels isolating Shawn. Jericho has a fun hot tag, as the faces clean house. Shawn and Jericho team up and throw Christian onto Tomko on the floor. When we return from break, Tomko clotheslines Jericho and now he is isolated. Heels don't really work anything, just take turns beating on Jericho until he tags Shawn in. The match breaks down, as Shawn hit Tomko with the Sweet Chin Music, but then Christian got a schoolboy holding onto the ropes to pin. FUCK YEAH! CLB! Shawn looks PISSED! post-match. **1/2 - **3/4

Backstage: Triple H asks if he can count on Batista tonight, who says yeah, he's waited 2 years for this. 2 years he had to listen to Orton run his mouth about how he is the future of Evolution, and how he is the future of the WWE. Batista asks whats up with Flair, and Hunter says Flair is just being Flair, but he wants Batista to focus on Orton and costing him getting a future title man.

Eugene, William Regal, and a bunch of losers including Ace Steel are in the ring. Regal goes over some of the stipulations of the Eugene/Uncle Eric match. He has one guy dressed as a butler, a guy in a dress and the 3rd Ace Steel in a barber chair. Eugne tries to cut his hair but does a horrible job. Eric Bischoff comes out. He says this is enough and whether Eugene knows it or not, he has his work cut out for him, and Eric hits Ace with a Superkick.

Taboo Tuesday press conference.

NEXT WEEK: CHRISTIAN VS. SHAWN MICHAELS IN MSG!

Trish Stratus, Molly Holly & Gail Kim come down to the ring. Trish says tonight they welcome the new addition to the RAW Diva family, and yeah she won some little competition while they busted their butts to be called Diva, but hey we love her anyway. She introduces Christy Hemme. Christy grabs the mic and says the only reason is because of the fans, and thanks them and says it's a true honor to be in this ring. Trish says that was sweet, and the fans did make this happen, but she also reminds Chisty to thank whoever she slept with to make it to the finals She says the ladies are all excited she's here and has Carmella video on the tron, Carmella says the only reason she didn't win was because of the fans. She says she's better than everything than Christy and if you put the two of them in a room together 100% of the men would pick her over Christy. She says the only reason they booed her was because they all knew no one had a shot at her, she is the Playboy Playmate of the year, while Christy is a nobody but a bitch. Trish says Eric gave her permission to name Christy's first match on Raw, and it's a three on one handicap match against them, in a bra & panties match. They all attack her and rip her clothes off. Christy gets up embarrassed, but as the fans cheer she then gets up and starts feeling cocky. She grabs the mic and says the divas think they pulled one over on her, but she feels completely comfortable in her bra and panties.

Backstage: Ric Flair is sitting thinking when Batista asks him if he's ready. Flair says he hears him, but he doesn't answer to Triple H nor, he and will be out their when he's ready.

Next Week: Kane returns.

No Disqualification Match: Batista vs. Randy Orton (If Orton wins he's eligible for Tabbo Tuesday's World Title Voting)
So this is fun but way too short. Batista looks great as usual being a powerhouse animal, and Orton bumps huge for him. Batista controls 90% of the match, then as soon as Orton makes his big comeback Triple H runs down. Orton does a good job fighting them off as Triple H grabs a chair. Flair runs out, he grabs the chair away from Hunter................BUT KICKS ORTON IN THE DICK! He then hits him in the back with the chair, which allows Batista to hit the Batista Bomb for the win. Evolution celebrates after the match. **1/2
