RAW Results May 19th:
The glass breaks, and we start with Raw Co-GM, Stone Cold Steve Austin. He has a lot of things to get off his chest. The first is Judgment Day, and the time he had. He ate some food, drank some beer, and watched some damn good matches.
But he had to spend time with Eric Bischoff, who also ate some food, drank some beer, but as always, made an ass of himself. Austin rolls footage of Bischoff throwing up last night. Austin announces that we won't see much of Bischoff because he has a hangover.
But the big news is next month's PPV. It will be, Stone Cold Steve Austin's Badd Blood. He looks into the camera and says to trust in him, and he will never let the fans down.
Next point of order is the Goldberg situation. He replays the footage of Goldberg almost getting run over, or at least hit by a speeding car. Austin announces that he will find out tonight who tried to hit Goldberg, and when he finds out, he will take them to the ring and face him or her off against Goldberg.
Speaking of matches, Austin calls out current World Champion, Triple H. Trips limps out, accompanied by Ric Flair. Austin cancels Triple H's music as the champion gets to the apron, saying that they don't have time for him to spit out his water or any of his theatrics. He demands that Austin and Flair get in the ring immediately, as he is trying extremely hard to keep his composure.
Austin says that Triple H purposely got himself disqualified last night by hitting Earl Hebner with a sledgehammer, because Kevin Nash was kicking his ass. He shouldn't be Champion, but he is. Shouldn't be, but is. Austin says that because of that, Triple H will wrestle tonight.
Trips says that most people think that Austin is just a drunk. He thinks Austin is drunk with power.
Triple H says that he is still World Heavyweight Champion, and thus still has some stroke. He is beat up, and will not be wrestling. Austin says that he will wrestle, but he will give Triple H the ability to choose his own opponent, so long as they are a former World Champion. Those people, Austin says, are Kane, Shawn Michaels, Jericho, or Kevin Nash.
Trips starts to retort, but then stops and thinks. He says that he will wrestle tonight, and he'll wrestle the most dominant World Champion of all time: Ric Flair. And that's the bottom line, because The Game said so.

D-Von starts beating on Rosie and BuhBuh comes in for the 3D 1-2-3!
After the match, Rico voices his displeasures with his partners. He says that he has had enough and is leaving them.
In the back, Austin comes in on Bischoff. He tells Eric that the best thing to cure his hangover is the old "hair of the dog."
He pops a beer for Bischoff and holds it under his nose. The mere smell causes Bischoff to throw up again.
Austin leaves, only to be stopped by Kevin Nash. Austin says he saw the statement Nash made last night, and as far as he is concerned, Nash is the #1 Contender for the Title.
And Nash will get the winner of the Triple H/Ric Flair match.
Speaking of, in the back, Flair says that Triple H's decision is the best compliment he has ever gotten. Of all the champions, he chose Flair. The best vs. the best. Trips says that Flair doesn't understand. He's sore. He's beat up. He didn't chose Flair because he's Flair the Champion. He chose him because he's Flair, Triple H's manager. He figures that Flair will talk some smack, then Trips will talk some smack, then Flair will lay down and they'll go home. Trips gets ready, but Flair looks taken aback.
