JR: Good evening and everyone and welcome to the second annual Raw 3 Hour Spectacular! We are here LIVE on SpikeTV in a red hot jam packed house in Cincinnati, OH! King, two months ago I thought the first 3 Hour Spectacular wasn’t going to be outdone, but tonight just might give it a run for it’s money!

Christian’s music hits as Captain Charisma comes down the ramp.
JR: Looks like we are kicking off tonight with Captain Charisma! Christian has had a very emotional 2 months in the WWE, well, ever since he hooked up with Trish Stratus.
King: That’s correct JR, and 2 weeks ago on Monday Night on Raw, Mark Henry put his hands on Trish severely injuring her, I hoped that Trish would accompany Christian to the ring tonight, but it appears she couldn’t be here.
JR: If you can remember King, Christian had this whole “planned announcement†that he was going to drop on Trish tonight, he had that planned for weeks, but it all got messed up thanks to Tuggin’ and Buggin’ Enterprises!
Theodore Long’s music hits as Teddy Long and Jazz accompany Mark Henry to the ring.
King: I can’t even look at this guy JR, he disgusts me, how can he even think of putting his hands on a defenseless young lady let along plant her with the World’s Strongest Slam?

Mark Henry slowly wobbles back and fourth on the mat as Teddy cheers him on. Mark Henry slowly teeters up to his feet and hangs over the top rope reaching for Christian, but Christian suddenly appears holding a steel chair and swings it up and cracks Henry over the skull with it. The ref didn’t see it because Mark Henry’s mass was so big it blocked the shot. Mark Henry backs up holding his skull wobbling.

Mark Henry whispers something to Christian and then walks up the ramp with Jazz and Theodore Long. They all raise their arms in victory at the top of the ramp.
JR: Oh yea, you guys are real tough; Mark Henry alone makes up 4 normal men, that was almost a handicap match!
King: Well JR, all I have to say is Christian kind of brought that onto himself!
JR: He had no other choice; he had to stand up to Henry, for Trish Stratus! He had to be a man for once!
BACKSTAGE:
Coach is standing by with Big Evil the Undertaker.
Coach: I am here with the Deadman himself, the Undertaker. Now Big Evil, last week right here on Raw we witnessed one of the greatest back and fourth styled match-ups we have ever seen in years between both Goldberg and yourself, now despite Triple H’s interference, do you think you would have won that match if the Game didn’t interfere?
Taker: Coachman, let me ask you a question boy, who kicked the holy hell out of Bill Goldberg for a solid half hour last week? Who is the new “undefeated†superstar on Raw? I’ll cut you a break kid, it’s the Deadman. I have been dominant since coming to Raw, nothing stood in my way between me and the belt. I was this close to getting what I wanted until you entered my yard Bill. You see Goldberg, I am the biggest dog in this yard, I make the rules, I decide who comes in and doesn’t come back out, and ever since you came back here to Raw after Vince reinstated you, you have been nothing but a little bitch running back and fourth on Monday Nights. After I defeated Chris Jericho at Bad Blood I put my seatbelt on because I knew I was on the road to my title shot, that’s until you came along Goldberg. The way I see it is, you took my spot. I would have had the World Heavyweight title around my waist if it wasn’t for your scrawny little ass. Tonight Bill I get what I want, but don’t think the World title is the only thing on my mind, sure it might be number one, but you are a close number two. Goldberg, tonight, you better watch your ass because you have spent too much time in Big Evil’s yard, and your time is just about up…
Undertaker walks away.

Batista springs up to his feet and argues with the ref.
Lillian: The winner of this match is the Animal Batista! However, due to the third and final fall, with it being a count out, Batista did not win the Intercontinental Championship, therefore still the Intercontinental Champion…Jeff Hardy!!!
JR: Would you look at that King? I don’t know how fair that is, but the rules are rules!
King: Are you kidding me JR? Batista didn’t break the rules, he had Hardy beat all match, he deserves that belt! We need a higher official out here!
Eric Bischoff’s music hits as the Raw GM comes out of the gate.
Bischoff: What the hell is going on here? Earl, Lillian, are you two blind, the Intercontinental Champion isn’t Jeff Hardy, it’s that man right there, the Animal Batista!!!
Lillian hands the mic off to Earl Hebner.
Hebner: With all due respect Mr. Bischoff, the rules state a title cannot change hands to due a disqualification or count out, in which the third fall was a count out. Rules are rules sir.
Bischoff: What the hell are you disrespecting me? Hell, I guess that’s what the rules say, but since I am the General Manager of Raw, I don’t think my “loyal fans†wanted to see Hardy keep the belt, and since Batista utterly destroyed Hardy in this match, I don’t think Hardy deserves that belt, so as of now, I am hear by stripping Jeff Hardy of the Intercontinental Championship!!!
JR: What??? He can’t do that!
Bischoff: As a matter of fact, Earl, I didn’t like your tone you were using with me, so guess what? YOU’RE FIRED!!!!
JR: Now come on, what the hell is this guy thinking? Earl is one of the best damn refs I have ever seen, someone should set that bastard straight!
King: I don’t think you should though JR, he might fire you next!

Y2J: Oh you are going to pin that on me? Huh? Well maybe if you weren’t so over confident about your abilities and bitching and moaning about never getting your WrestleMania rematch against Triple H, maybe Eric Bischoff wouldn’t have gotten so pissed at you!
Booker: Oh, so that’s how it’s going to be? You siding with that sucka Jericho? Who the hell do you think you are? You know what, get the hell out of my locker room son, I have to get ready for “just another match.â€

Terri is backstage with the WWE Women’s Champion Molly Holly.
Terri: I am standing here with…
Molly takes the microphone and shoves Terri to the side.
Molly: Like those morons don’t know who I am, get out of my face bimbo. You see I have a little problem, I want to know why I don’t get as much airtime as the guys around this place! I am the WWE Women’s Champion! I am a pioneer in this male dominated sport, but I can’t even get a match, I can only get a promo, not even a promo in the ring, compare this 2 minute interview with Triple H’s 1 ½ of airtime per week! This is ridiculous!
Triple H walks into the picture holding the World Heavyweight Championship. He stares at Molly and Molly shuts up. Triple H puts his hand out and Molly gives him the microphone. Triple h continues to stare at Holly and then points off camera. Molly nods her head and runs away.
HHH: Now that that’s out of the way, let’s get back to my “hour and a half of airtime.†I have been hearing all week long that the odds are stacked against me in my World Heavyweight Championship match tonight. I have been hearing from you stupid fans out there that “Triple H will either get the Jackhammer or the Last Ride and will lose his title either way.†I got one questions for you idiots out there, what the hell are you thinking? If you think I am not walking out of here with the World Heavyweight Championship, you got another thing coming. Didn’t you see last week? I crippled both Goldberg and Undertaker’s asses with my sledgehammer, as if that isn’t proof enough that I can easily get the job done! In case I need to remind you, I am the Cerebral Assassin, I am the Game, I am the World Heavyweight Champion, I am Triple H and maybe the sledgehammer to Undertaker and Goldberg last week jogged their memories, but I will make them remember who the hell I am in that ring tonight, because I am that damn good!!!

Kane crashes and burns onto the mat. Jericho runs across the ring, over Kane, and springboards off the second rope and perfectly lands the Lionsault onto the Big Red Machine. Jericho gets up and holds his gut, but fights through the pain. Jericho grabs Kane’s legs and begins to turn him over. Kane fights it, but eventually gives in and Kane turns him over locking in the Walls of Jericho. Kane fights it, but he taps out to the Walls.
WINNER: Chris Jericho
JR: By God King what an ending! Jericho makes the Big Red Machine tap out to the Walls of Jericho!
King: Wow, talk about Cutting Edge TV JR! Theirs is the guy in charge, Chris Jericho, who seems to be on quite the roll now, who knows what’s next for this guy!
JR: I see big things in Jericho’s future that’s for sure, but what about what Booker T said backstage, could Jericho really be siding with Eric Bischoff???
King: I don’t know, let’s worry about that down the road, we still got half the show to go JR! It’s Raw’s 3 Hour Spectacular!!!
