Mike Sanders vs Maven(c).- IWA Mid-South Heavyweight Title Match

Mike Sanders, who was part of the recent NECW buy out, debuted to take on Maven for the IWA Mid-South Heavyweight Title. The match was trash, really trash, like this should've been on the pre-show trash...but in the end Mike Sanders actually won the title.

Rating: E


Bitterness?

After the match, and Mike Sanders celebrating his title win, Maven jumps him and beats him down. Turning heel.

STEVIE RICHARDS IS BACK....with a new name?

Stevie Richards, who is back after he was apart of the CZW buy out, he walks down to the ring and cuts a promo. Talking about while he was away, he became a ladies man, he became a man that always gets his way. He let's on that it's all because of what he has going on downstairs. Here by renaming himself Big Dick Stevie.

Rating: D-

Kings of Wrestling vs New Blood

The match was not really the best, but surely not the worst of the night. Not much really to say here other than the Kings of Wrestling defeated New Blood in 9:01 when Claudio Castagnoli defeated Bryan Danielson by submission.

Rating: D-

Heyman and his dangerous friends.

Heyman is interviewed by Gene Okerlund, who hypes up his two men O'Haire and Samia Joe, talking about how these two men are going to take over the business. He also hints that these are the only two people he has by his side, and that soon one or two more people will step out of the shadows.

Big Dick Stevie vs Crash Holly vs Jinsei Shinzaki

The match just, wasn't the best showing for the returning BDS, but he at least got himself the win, to show he's trying his best to be here. Big Dick Stevie defeated Crash Holly and Jinsei Shinzaki in 9:50 when Big Dick Stevie defeated Jinsei Shinzaki by pinfall with a Stevie Kick.

Rating: C+

PUPPIES!

Victoria and Terri Runnels compete in a bikini contest in the ring. No Winner was announced, but it seemed the crowd was a bit more in favor of Victoria. Terri was just here for a one night only thing, having came with recent buy outs of companies.

Rating: C-

Chris Benoit vs Christian

This match was decent, not a show stealing match, but really good match for this point of the show, the two men really gave it their all and got the crowd to pop a few times. Christian defeated Chris Benoit in 9:57 by pinfall with an Unprettier.

Rating: C+

Is love in the air?

Alexis Laree is shown backstage flirting with Big Dick Stevie.

Rating: C

Kurt Angle vs Eddie Guerrero

This match was amazing, and really had the crowd on their feet wanting more, they quite possibly stole the show here tonight. Kurt Angle defeated Eddie Guerrero in 15:29 by pinfall. Maybe Angle and Orton to get a rematch at a later day for the Tag Titles? or will Angle get a new partner seeing as he won his match tonight, where his partner did not? Only time will tell.

Rating: B

Sean O'Haire vs Kane

Another great match followed that, where Sean O' Haire and Kane really took it to each other, nice back and forth action where both men just laid into each other as hard as they could, really putting over how tough O'Haire is to go toe to toe with Kane. Sean O'Haire defeated Kane in 15:24 by pinfall with a Widow Maker.

Rating: B

WHAT THE HELL?!

Sean O'Haire is in the ring after his win, when the lights go out, when they come back on O'Haire is laid out in the ring, bloody with his title belt drapped across him covered in blood as well, as the show goes off the air.

Rating: B

Overall; B-

Not the best show, hurt us a bit. Network surely not happy...oh well. PPV is Sunday. ​

 

[Hidden Blaze]

Went ahead and booked this so I can do the PPV in a couple days.

I've had Shin this whole damn time, never once let him debut. I had him signed since May, so only a month...but he's about to be leaving in 7 days for an MMA fight. so maybe it's good he's not really had much of a debut yet.

 

[Kim Jong Umb]

Kenta jobbing now and is on sd?

WWE Bad Blood 2004

Alexis Laree(c) vs Ivory- WWE Women's Championship Match

The opening contest was a Women's Championship Match, that saw the Champion Alexis Laree defend against Ivory. They put on a quick decent match that got the crowd ready for a good night of action. This was a good match to open the show, hopefully a sign of things to come for the night. Alexis Laree defeated Ivory in 6:19 by pinfall with a Laree DDT. Alexis Laree makes defence number 1 of her WWE Women's title.

Rating: B

Main Event Hype.

We get some Hype for the main event as a video package plays to talk about Undertaker vs Sean O'Haire later tonight. Where it's announced it will be FIRST BLOOD.

Rating: B-

Bobby Lashley vs CM Punk(c)- WWE Intercontinental Championship Match

This match was pretty decent, it saw some great action. CM Punk almost was able to pull out a win after hitting the GTS but when Lashley fell backwards from it he knocked out the ref in the process. Punk tried his best to put him away, but came up short after Lashley first hit a spear, and then locks him into a submission, as Punk passes out 14:38 into the match. Bobby Lashley wins the WWE Intercontinental title.

Rating: C

WHAT THE FUCK?

We see Virgil and Big Dick Stevie, fighting backstage over who's got the bigger pipe. Virgil points out that he once slept with every member of the Spice Girls in one night, and all of them was limping the next day. Big Dick Stevie looks at him and laughs, saying he done that before, but he slept with them all at the same time. This keeps going back and forth while it heads back to ringside.

Rating: D-

Mike Sanders(c) vs ???-IWA-MS Championship Match

Mike Sanders comes out and says he can beat anyone in the back, that he's the best person here in the WWE now, and that he will bring new life to the IWA-MS Title. That leads to Samoa Joe coming out, and making really quick work of him, pretty much BURYING Mike Sanders at this point, Samoa Joe defeated Mike Sanders in 5:01 by pinfall with a Muscle Buster. Samoa Joe wins the IWA Mid-South Heavyweight title.

Rating: D-

US Open Challenge.

While Joe walks to the back and Mike Sanders is carried out of the ring, Test makes his way down to the ring and laughs. He mentions that while that open challenge was a bust, a fail, and showed that Mike Sanders does not deserve to be here, that he's going to do his own open challenge again, to show why he's the greatest thing going in the WWE today.

Rating: B

Test(c) vs ???-Unite States Championship Match

Shelton Benjamin answers the challenge, and we're off to a pretty good match between the two, Both men really getting in some great stuff early on. Shelton looked to have this one in the bag but as he went to hit his finish, Test was able to reverse it and hit Shelton with a Test Drive, and pin him at 9:41 into the match, Test makes defence number 6 of his WWE United States title.

Rating: B

Kane vs Samoa Joe

In Joe's second match of the night, after already making really quick work of Mike Sanders, he had a good match with Kane, both men beating the hell out of each other to prove which one was the better man. But in the end, Kane would catch Joe off guard with a chokeslam and pin him at the 15:03 mark of the match.

Rating: C+

WHAT'S THIS?

We see CM Punk walk into the locker room of.....Paul Heyman? What could this be about?

Rating: B-

Eddie Guerrero and Rey Mysterio(c) vs Kurt Angle and ???- WWE Tag Team Championship Match

Eddie and Rey make their way out to the ring in a nice lowrider, that has a nice Bad Blood theme going on with it. Normally champions come out last, but with Kurt has a partner that is still a mystery that have him come out next to announce who that partner is, and it turns out to be Chris Benoit, These two teams put on nearly a 20 minute classic, with everyone getting their moves in, the crowd roaring for more, getting them hot once again. They really are coming to life at this point into the show. The total time of the match was 19:38, and the end came when Rey Mysterio defeated Chris Benoit by pinfall with a 619. Eddie Guerrero and Rey Mysterio make defence number 1 of their WWE Tag Team titles.

Rating: B

JERICHO AND AN OLD FRIEND!

Jericho makes his way out onto the stage, before stopping and then turning around to wave someone on out. When Ralphus comes out to a nice pop from the crowd. He makes his way down to the ring with Jericho, I guess to just make sure no one comes out? No idea what he really can do but he's here.

Rating: C+

Triple H(c) vs Chris Jericho- WWE World Championship Match

This match really was a work of art, both men really giving it their all to try and walk away with the title. Near the end of the match, Jericho really started to get the upper hand on Triple H and seemed to be closing in on the win. But Triple H managed to fight back and get them both to the outside of the ring. Just with enough time to spare Triple H hit a Pedigree onto the floor, rolling himself in the ring but allowing Jericho to get counted out. Total time was 18:19. Triple H makes defence number 2 of his World Heavyweight title.

Rating: B


Hulk Hogan vs John Cena

In what is being billed as Hogan's last match, he takes on John Cena. The crowd was hugely into this match, just really enjoying what both men was bringing to the table. Hogan even getting a few Hogan chants as he lookeda round, and started to embrace the crowd a little bit. But in the end, it was not enough as John Cena put him away at 10:39 into the match to win.

Rating: B-

Respect.

After the match, Cena is celebrating when Hogan walks over to offer a handshake. Cena looks around for awhile, not sure what to do but after thinking it over he nods and shakes Cena's hand, while Hogan leaves the ring to let him keep celebrating.

Rating: B

WHAT??! NO?!

While Hogan is walking up the ramp. Bradshaw and Lance Cade runs by him. attacking Cena and starting to beat him down. Hogan turns around and looks and walks back to the ring. Just as it looks as if he was going to hit a huge leg drop on Cena, he started to attack Bradshaw, and was able to also fight off Lance Cade for a bit until they both had Hogan in the corner. But Cena got up and helped make the save, as Bradshaw and Lance Cade head to the back. Hogan once again a face.

Rating: B-

Sean O'Haire(c) vs The Undertaker- First Blood WWE Championship Match

This match was just amazing, and very very brutal. Both men just laying into each other with everything they had. Undertaker cracking O'Haire over the head with a chair a few times. O'Haire slamming Undertaker's head through some glass backstage. Everything was looking great until out of nowhere....KANE ATTACKS HIS BROTHER UNDERTAKER. At this point, Kane helped hold Taker up while O'Haire found a blade, and used it to cut Undertaker's head just enough for him to start bleeding, winning the match after 15:07 into the match. Sean O'Haire makes defence number 1 of his WWE title.

Rating: B-

WWE Monday Night Raw
June, Week 4, 2004

Hogan Opens the show.

The show opens with Hogan already standing in the ring, as Real American is playing, a song we've not heard in awhile playing. Hogan also has a microphone in his hand. He talks about how the last year or so, he's done a lot of horrible things, that he looks back on it and realizes that he was wrong, and that he wants to make things right. That he can't go out being remembered that way. So he's putting his retirement on hold for now, and that the red and yellow is back BROTHER. He also says he is teaming with John Cena here tonight. Really getting the crowd back on his side easily

Rating: A

Nick Dinsmore vs Low Ki

In a bout that had terrible wrestling and non-existent crowd heat, Nick Dinsmore defeated Low Ki in 7:57 by pinfall with a German Suplex.

A TRADE HAS BEEN MADE!

Stephanie McMahon makes her way out to the ring with a smile on her face. She says that she had a talk with Paul Heyman last night after Bad Blood. That he made a trade offer that would have been dumb to pass up on. She mention where you'll find out who Smackdown later on this week, for now she wants to bring out the newest member of the Raw Roster.....THE UNDERTAKER! The Undertaker then makes his way out to the stage, not saying much as he just looks around. Clearly a little pissed off he was taken away from the show where his brother just screwed him, and O'Haire was able to get the last laugh. Clearly not the end of this.

Uhhh well. okay.


Marty Jannetty comes down to the ring, with his NECW Championship, for some reason.. he's talking about all his time here in the WWE, and how he enjoyed it. It brings back memories being in the ring here. This leads to Shawn Michaels making his way out to the ring to challenge him to a match......FOR HIS TITLE. At first, Jannetty is like nah nah he doesn't want to do this tonight, but Shawn basically bullies him into it.

Shawn Michaels vs Marty Jannetty(c)- NECW Title Match

In an extremely short match, Shawn Michaels defeated Marty Jannetty in 2:57 by pinfall with a Sweet Chin Music. Shawn Michaels wins the NECW Heavyweight title.

Rating: C-

Insult to injury.

After the match, Shawn cuts a promo, saying how he always was better than Jannetty, and said that Jannetty has always had to live with just living in his Shadow. He looks at the title belt he won, laughs and says it's a shitty title that he truly doesn't care about. So he has an idea of what to do. Before saying that oh yeah, The Kliq has some business to take care of as he calls them on out

Rating: B

Not done with Jericho.

Triple H is the one to do most of the talking here, ripping on Jericho, and how he proved he didn't need his buddies to beat him, and that he will keep proving that he doesn't need his friends to beat anyone. He just likes being around them, because they are a good group of guys who have the same vision he does.

GOOD GOD!

We cut to the parking lot, where you can see the NECW Heavyweight title on the ground. Then it pans to a car that speed forwards, running over the title, before backing up over it, running over it again before he gets out, and just tossed it in the trash. Saying that's where it belongs, as he vacates, and retires the title.

After the match, Undertaker takes a microphone and talks about earlier tonight, how the fans seemed HAPPY that he's here on Raw now, HAPPY that he can't get the revenged he wants. Which he says REALLY pisses him off. He starts talking about how the crowd is selfish, and doesn't give a damn about anyone other than themselves. UNDERTAKER HAS TURNED HEEL!
