RAW 2004 Thread

[MMB]

Stone Cold Steve Austin's music hit in the arena and he made his way out to the ring on his ATV as the Sheriff of WWE RAW and it seems as though he may have a beef with someone or something, otherwise he wouldn't be out here.

Stone Cold said he's got a message right now he'd like to deliver to one person and that person's name is Mick Foley. Because he doesn't know what's going on in side Mick Foley's head. Last month, the Intercontinental Title match against Randy Orton, he sees fit to walk out of the building. He let Randy Orton spit in his face.





Last week, Nassau Coliseum, fifteen minutes from his home. Randy Orton lines up a limo, sends it to his house, buys him a ticket and he still doesn't show. Austin knows Mick is watching on his little TV and Austin has something to say. This isn't the Mick Foley he knows. The Mick Foley he knows that he used to ride up and down the road with, they used to rent the cheapest rent a cars and stay at the crappiest hotels, just to save a buck or two. Hell, they used to see who could crack Diamond Dallas Page first. And he sits there and calls himself a Hardcore Legend and he allows Randy Orton to spit in his face. He watches these commercials calling Mick a coward and when Randy Orton spits in Mick's face, he spits in the face of this business and in the face of Stone Cold Steve Austin and that's just something you don't do. So as Sheriff Stone Cold Steve Austin, he's asking, no, he's not going to ask anything. As Sheriff Stone Cold Steve Austin, he's ordering him this Sunday to be at the Royal Rumble and if he doesn't show up at the Royal Rumble an open up a can of whoop ass on Randy Orton then he will be breaking the law and that's Stone Cold's law and that's just something you don't do. So one way or another, he hopes Mick Foley makes the right decision because if he doesn't show up, Austin will see fit to jump on the four wheeler and ride it from Green Bay and he'll ride it straight to Long Island right into Mick's living room, tie his ass to the back and drag his son of a bitch ass to Philadelphia! If Stone Cold Steve Austin said it, you can believe it's the truth and that's the bottom line. Austin said not so fast and he called for some beers. Austin said he's a toast to Mick Foley, hoping he makes the right decision. Now that's the bottom line because Stone Cold Said So! Before leaving the ring, Austin chucked a couple beers up at the announce table towards Coach and then he hopped on his ATV and sped it to the backstage area.





Molly Holly and Trish Stratus were shown backstage and they were having some sort of a disagreement. Molly left saying that's why Trish is never going to win her Women's Title. Christian showed up and he said he's not looking for any trouble. He just wants to clear the air here. He knows Chris broke her heart with that stupid little bet and made it worse by telling her he has feelings for her. But between the two of them, he knows how Trish really feels about Chris Jericho. She never wants to see him again and the good news is that Chris Jericho feels the exact same way about her. At least after the pictures he took of him with these other girls. Christian showed Trish the pictures and Alexis was the girl Chris went home with.





Just so there's no mixed signals, Trish is the last thing on Chris Jericho's mind. That is what she wanted, isn't it? Trish seemed a little upset and Christian told her to take care of herself and he left laughing, saying he forgot about the midgets.


Lita vs. Jazz

In the arena, Lita's music hit and she made her way out to the ring for a one on one match against Jazz, accompanied to the ring by Theodore Long.

After the bell rang to start the match, Jazz and Lita locked it up and Jazz put Lita in a hammer lock and then Jazz gave Lita a hard forearm to the back of the neck.

Jazz whipped Lita off the ropes and Lita came back with a head scissors take down that went well received by the fans as this match has not been well received by the fans thus far.

Lita gave Jazz a version of the Twist of Fate and then she took her over shirt off to a huge pop and then she started to go to the top rope but Theodore Long hopped to the ring apron and distracted her.

Lita choked away on Theodore Long as he fell down on the ring apron.





Then Jazz rolled up Lita from behind, hooking the trunks to pin her for the three count.





The Hurricane was shown backstage with Terri and Terri said coming up next is the final advancement match and he's facing the Intercontinental Champion. Terri doesn't feel Hurricane's odds are the greatest, but how does he feel? Hurricane said the odds are always against him. They're against him tonight and they'll be against him in the Royal Rumble, not to mention that his opponent Randy Orton is on a super win streak. And he knows that people look at Hurricane and say he'll never main event at Wrestlemania but on nights like this, he has a chance to show them how far from the truth they are because he believes in himself. He believes he can defy those odds and beat Randy Orton and win that over the top rope challenge and he believes he can head to the Royal Rumble, poised to win at number 30! After Hurricane left, Terri said that this is the WWE and truly, anything can happen.


The Hurricane vs. Randy Orton

Randy Orton's music hit in the arena and he made his way out to the ring as the Intercontinental Champion and this match isn't about his title but it's about advancing to the over the top rope challenge at the end of the night and he's facing the Hurricane in this one on one contest!

Randy Orton started it off by clubbing the Hurricane in the back of the neck several times and then he whipped the Hurricane to the corner where the Hurricane hopped over Randy's shoulders and Randy quickly turned around and plowed through the Hurricane with a hard clothesline.

The Hurricane went to the top rope and came off with a high cross body on Randy Orton and pinned him but only got a two count.





Randy Orton quickly raked the eyes of the Hurricane and then planted him with the RKO and then pinned him for the three count to get the win.


Ric Flair and Batista walked down to the ring to congratulate the Intercontinental Champion, Randy Orton and Rosey came out to the ring to attend to the Hurricane as he was down on the mat.





Ric Flair gave Rosey a hard right hand and then Batista gave him a spinebuster slam and the Dudley Boyz hit the ring and went after Batista and Ric Flair and this Sunday night at the Royal Rumble, they will meet Flair and Batista for the Tag Team Titles! As the fight went on, Coach kept saying that something needs to be done about this and the Dudleys pulled out a table and set it up in the ring and got ready for the 3D on Flair but Orton and Batista pulled him out of the ring.





Coach took the mic and went to the ring, saying this is not going to happen, not tonight. Coach told the Dudleys that this is his show and he runs this tonight. He doesn't care if they don't like it because you know what, The Coach doesn't like either one of the Dudley Boyz. So here's what's going to happen, he's going to turn around and count to three and when he does that, the Dudleys and the table better be out of here. Coach turned around and started counting and the Dudleys set up for the 3D and when Coach turned around, the Dudleys put The Coach through the table with the 3D to a tremendous ovation from the crowd!








Mark Henry and Chris Jericho were shown backstage and Mark asked Chris how a little man like him expects to throw someone like Mark Henry out of the ring? Chris said the only thing strong about Mark Henry is the stench. Chris asked Mark Henry what the stench was and Mark said that he's got stank and if Chris ever gets close enough to Trish again, he'll smell Mark's stank all over his girlfriend and his stank smells good. Mark Henry left and Chris Jericho looked a bit upset.


Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler talked about the Over the Top Rope Challenge and he said that Booker T, Rob Van Dam, Goldberg, Spike Dudley, Chris Jericho, Randy Orton and Mark Henry are the seven men that have qualified for the Over the Top Rope Challenge but we've just been informed that after the beating he sustained at the hands of Kane, Spike Dudley won't be able to compete tonight.

Royal Rumble Match



Over the Top Rope Royal Rumble Challenge:

Lilian Garcia introduced the rules for the Over the Top Rope Royal Rumble Challenge and there will be six men in this match and the last man standing in this match will be number 30 in this Sunday's Royal Rumble Match!

And the wrestlers involved in this match are Rob Van Dam, Chris Jericho, Goldberg, Booker T, Randy Orton and Mark Henry!

When Goldberg got in the ring, he went to work on every wrestler in the ring with right hands, taking just about everybody out until Booker T caught Goldberg in the Book End. Jericho then saw fit to give Goldberg the lionsault and then RVD came off the top rope with the five star frog splash on Goldberg. RVD posed and then Booker T knocked Rob Van Dam over the top rope. Chris Jericho then eliminated Booker T from the match and then Orton went to toss Jericho out of the ring but Jericho held onto the ropes and pulled himself back into the ring. Jericho gave Randy Orton a drop kick to knock him over the top rope but Orton pulled himself back into the ring.

Chris Jericho went to the top rope and came off with a missile drop kick on Mark Henry to knock him down to the mat. Jericho then went over in an attempt to help Orton eliminate Goldberg but Goldberg smashed their heads together to save himself.

Mark Henry and Randy Orton dumped Chris Jericho out of the ring and then they set their sights on Goldberg. Goldberg was able to fight them off and he nailed Mark Henry with the spear. Goldberg then scooped Mark Henry and tried to lift him over the top rope but he couldn't get him up and Randy Orton helped Mark Henry by knocking Goldberg down to the mat. Orton then lifted Mark Henry's leg up on the ropesd.





Goldberg shoulder blocked Mark Henry over the top rope and now it's down to Orton and Goldberg.

Ric Flair and Batista made their way out to ringside as Randy Orton whipped Goldberg off the ropes. Goldberg came back with a spear on Orton to knock him down to the mat.





Goldberg then lifted Randy Orton up over his head and tossed him at Flair and Batista and Orton hit the arena floor, giving the win to Goldberg and he has earned the right to enter the ring at number thirty at the Royal Rumble!

[NDD]

Best RAW of the short year, maybe even better than any RAW from last year.

How could it get more exciting?

Benoit shows up to claim his quest for the Raw World Title. Undertaker begins a non-physical attack on Kane. Triple H and Shawn Michaels "haven't even gotten started yet." Jericho saved Trish but Trish wants to just be friends. Christian is still pissed at Jericho but still getting them opportunities. Victoria keeps beating Molly Holly. Goldberg annihilated Coach. And Mick Foley came back and completely punked out Randy Orton in a promo that was more intense than just about anything I've ever seen.

That show was absolutely incredible and there is no possible way I can wait to see RAW next week.

[Stone Cold]

Raw was pretty hot. like NDD said there are alot of good things going. i don't like the constant HBK HHH thing but that's not my call. I had CHILLS when Taker's tape came on. The Benoit title angle is very interesting and i'm a big fan of it. hopefully that leads to similar situations :-D and the girl with ricco taking off the top was great and stacy came down making it even better :-D

[MMB]

The ratings went really up compared to the past weeks. Seems like the overall reaction was good to a well filled night

[NDD]

That's exactly what RAW needed too. A lot of people tend to tune in on the night after a PPV to see what they missed. And the best thing to do is to make that show incredible. And RAW did more than make an incredible show on Monday night. With big ratings that night, I can only expect them to go up next week.

They sure got a World Title storyline that got a LOT more excited now that Chris jumped to RAW!

Evolution still holds all the gold.

Foley's around again!

Austin whoops ass!

And the build-up for Taker vs Kane has just started!

RAW Results January 26th:


WWE RAW opened up with footage of Mick Foley's return to the WWE at the Royal Rumble when he beat down Test and was forced into the Royal Rumble match by Stone Cold Steve Austin. After being forced into the Rumble, Mick Foley hit the ring and dominated Randy Orton, eliminating himself and Orton from the Royal Rumble match, costing Randy Orton the chance to go to Wrestlemania for the World Championship!


The fireworks went off in the arena and Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler kicked it off on commentary, just 24 hours removed from the Royal Rumble! Chris Jericho's "Originals" music hit in the arena and he made his way out to the ring. Chris Jericho got in the ring and took the mic and said normally, he'd be quite angry about the fact that Chris Benoit won the Royal Rumble and Jericho didn't, but he's actually OK with that because Chris Benoit is on Smackdown! and this is RAW is Jericho! And that means that the World Title shot at Wrestlemania is wide opened on this side. Since Jericho was the last member of the RAW roster in the Rumble and since Eric Bischoff still owes him his Survivor Series favor, the best way to cash that in is to give that World Title shot to Y2J! And he doesn't want to wait until Wrestlemania to get it because he wants to take Triple H downtown to Chinatown and win the World Title right here tonight in Hershey, Pennsylvania!

And then he's going to defend that belt in New Hampshire, take it down to Wyoming, over to Oregon and all over the United States and take it on home in New York City at Wrestlemania XX! Eric Bischoff's music hit in the arena and he made his way out to the ring as the General Manager of RAW! Eric asked Chris if he wants to use his Survivor Series favor for a shot against Triple H for the World Title? Is that right? Jericho said that's what he's hearing and what else he's hearing is about 10,000 Hershey, Pennsylvania people calling Bischoff an asshole! Bischoff said despite that fact, if that's what Jericho wants, then he's got it. But Chris might not want to do that because Bischoff has another match in mind for tonight. Instead of telling him about it, why not show it to him? On the Titantron, Eric Bischoff revealed a one on one match with Trish Stratus vs. Kane. Eric asked Chris if he thinks he's proud of the fact that he was the last RAW Superstar in the Rumble? He's wrong. He's not proud, he's embarrassed. Embarrassed because for the last two years, Smackdown! has won the Royal Rumble and that is unacceptable. So tonight, Jericho has a choice. He can either use his favor for a World Title shot against Triple H or he can use his favor to cancel the match between Trish and Kane. Now it can't be both, so what's it going to be? Eric told Chris that he can see it in his eyes. He still has feelings for Trish so consider the match canceled. But we're not done tonight, not by a long shot. You see last night, Chris Jericho and RVD were the last two RAW Superstars in the Royal Rumble and they dropped the ball. Chris was the last hope on RAW so now you're going to see how Eric Bischoff deal with failure because tonight, Chris Jericho and Rob Van Dam are going to team up and take on the World Tag Team Champions Ric Flair and Batista and the man who should have won the Royal Rumble, the Intercontinental Champion, Randy Orton. Tonight, it's three on two and by the way, that three on two handicap match is coming up next!


Handicap Match - Rob Van Dam and Chris Jericho vs. Ric Flair, Batista and Randy Orton

Rob Van Dam's music hit in the arena and he made his way out to the ring to team up with Chris Jericho in this three on two handicap match just made by Eric Bischoff and they will face Ric Flair, Batista and Randy Orton in this handicap contest!

Chris Jericho started the match off in the ring against Ric Flair and the two locked it up in the center of the ring and Flair put Jericho in a side headlock and Jericho attempted to whip Flair off the ropes but Flair held onto the headlock. Chris eventually broke it up and shoved Flair into the ropes.





Flair came back with a shoulder block to knock Chris Jericho down to the mat.

Chris Jericho came off the second rope with a missile drop kick on Randy Orton to knock him down to the mat and then he pinned him but only got a two count.

Rob Van Dam came off the ropes with a kick to the chest of Ric Flair to knock him down to the mat and then he hit him with the rolling thunder and pinned him for a two count as Randy Orton got into the ring and broke it up.

Chris Jericho knocked Batista down to the arena floor with a springboard drop kick and then he went to the ring apron and jumped at Batista on the outside but Batista caught him and gave him a vicious spinebuster on the outside of the ring.





Orton, Flair and Batista then surrounded Rob Van Dam in the center of the ring and RVD rolled under them to avoid a triple team as the show went to a commercial break.

After the spinebuster on the outside of the ring, Chris Jericho was having trouble getting up and he seemed to be way out of it as if he couldn't continue with the match as Rob Van Dam remained in the ring going at it with Evolution.





None the less, Chris remained on the outside of the ring trying to get back to the ring apron to continue the match.





Chris Jericho eventually got back into the match and seemed as though he was at full strength, just a bit slower than normal. Chris went for the Walls of Jericho on Batista but Batista powered out of it with his leg strength.

Batista went for the power bomb on Chris Jericho but Chris got out of it and took Batista down to the mat with a chop block and then he put Batista in the Walls of Jericho.





Ric Flair got in the ring to break it up but RVD knocked Flair down with a clothesline before he could.

RVD then gave Flair the five star frog splash and Randy Orton got in the ring and went for the RKO on Jericho but missed and then he went off the ropes and tried for it again and caught him and then Batista pinned Jericho for the three count to pick up the win.


All three members of Evolution left the ring together as Chris Jericho and Rob Van Dam remained in the ring in pain.


Randy Orton was shown with Eric Bischoff and Orton was complaining about losing the Royal Rumble because of Mick Foley. Orton said Foley ruined the chances of there being an All Evolution main event at Wrestlemania. It was his dream and he's learned from the best and he's that good. He's been hearing rumors all day that Foley is supposed to show up tonight. What Orton wants is permission to beat his ass. Bischoff told Orton that his permission has been granted but Stone Cold showed up. Stone Cold said the rumors he's been hearing is a Stone Cold fact. Mick Foley will be here tonight because Austin invited him. Randy can try to whip his ass all he wants but he probably won't be able to. But he can't do that until Foley gets ample time on the microphone to talk about the campaign ads that Orton has been running on TV and that's the bottom line because Stone Cold said so.


Chris Jericho was shown in his locker room and someone knocked on the door and it was Trish, thanking Chris for what he's done to save her from Kane. Chris said after all they've been through, that's the least he could do. He didn't want to see her get hurt. Trish thanked him and she said speaking of all they've been through, she's glad they understand how they feel about each other.





Chris asked what she means? Trish said she thinks they can have a good relationship and Chris said that's what he's thought the whole time. Trish said to be really close friends and Chris agreed, saying that's what he wanted the whole time, just to be her friend. (Chris did seem a little disappointed.) Trish noted that it wouldn't be friends like Jericho and Christian, going out on the town and stuff. Christian showed up and Trish left the room. Christian asked Jericho what the hell he's doing? Giving up a World Title shot for her? Chris Jericho said he thought Christian was his partner, where was he earlier tonight? Christian said he was in Bischoff's office, trying to smooth things over for Jericho. He's on very thin ice but he did manage to get them a match next week for the number one Contendership for the Tag Team Titles. Is he in or is he going to piss it away on some teenage crush? Christian told Chris to straighten up and get his damn head out of his ass!


Victoria and Lita vs. Molly Holly and Jazz

Victoria's music hit in the arena and she made her way out to the ring along with Steven Richards for a tag team contest with Lita against Molly Holly and Jazz, who was accompanied to the ring by Theodore Long.





Lita started the match off in the ring against Molly Holly and the two locked it up in the center of the ring.





Molly put Lita in a waist lock and Lita countered it into a waist lock take down into a front face lock down on the mat.

Victoria knocked Jazz down to the mat and then Victoria hit Jazz with a standing moonsault and a pin for a two count.





Victoria rolled Molly Holly up with an inside cradle and pinned her for the three count to pin the Women's Champion two nights in a row!





Triple H was slowly walking through the backstage area and he looked to be a mess after last night's brutal Last Man Standing Match against Shawn Michaels for the World Heavyweight Title! Of course as we saw last night, that match went to a draw and because Triple H was not defeated, he is still the World Heavyweight Champion.


Triple H's music hit in the arena and he made his way out to the ring as the World Heavyweight Champion. Triple H had two bandages on his head and the fans chanted "HBK, HBK" as he got ready to speak. Triple H said last night, two men stood in this ring, they scratched, they clawed, they fought and they bled buckets for what they believed in and that is the World Heavyweight Championship. Shawn Michaels said last week that the whole thing might come down to one second. Well when it came right down to it and that one second was a reality, Shawn didn't have what it took. He couldn't stand on his own two feet and that's why tonight, Triple H stands here before everyone and the world as still the World Heavyweight Champion!

The music of Shawn Michaels hit in the arena and he made his way out to the ring with a large bruise on his face and a bandage across his forehead, showing the result of last night's Last Man Standing Match. Triple H asked Shawn what he has to do to him? The fans heavily chanted "HBK, HBK" and Triple H asked what's it going to take? What does he have to do to Shawn Michaels? Hasn't he had enough yet? Shawn said "you and me, we haven't even gotten started yet."





Stone Cold Steve Austin's music hit in the arena and he made his way out to the ring on his ATV as the Sheriff of WWE RAW! Stone Cold took the mic and said just a second. It's a damn shame the Last Man Standing Match wound up in a tie because the rules say in the event of a tie, the Champion retains the title. The bloodshed, the brutality and the carnage that took place in this ring reminds him of something right out of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre.





Stone Cold said this once and he'll say it again, Shawn Michaels deserves a damn rematch. The problem is that he isn't out here to make matches. He's here to uphold the RAW. The rules state that the winner of the Royal Rumble goes onto Wrestlemania to face the Champion. The rules don't state which Champion that winner faces. Shawn wrestled his ass off last night and wrestled one hell of a match but he did not win the Royal Rumble, Chris Benoit did. So right now, he'd like the winner of the 2004 Royal Rumble to come out here to this ring!

Chris Benoit's music hit in the arena and he made his way out to the ring as the winner of the 2004 Royal Rumble and he stood face to face with Shawn Michaels and then he turned over to Triple H and took a look at him. The fans heavily chanted "Benoit, Benoit!" showing tremendous support for the Rabid Wolverine. Chris said he can tell he's the last person either one of them expected to see. Last night, both of them went through hell fighting for that World Heavyweight Championship. Well so did Chris Benoit. For 18 years, he fought to be the best. It took him 62 minutes to beat 29 men to get the opportunity to face the best at Wrestlemania. Now whether that's Shawn Michaels or Triple H, at Wrestlemania, Chris Benoit will fulfill his destiny and be the next World Heavyweight Champion!





"What the hell can that mean?" - Jim Ross. "Is Benoit saying he wants to wrestle for the World Heavyweight Title? Well that's what he's saying!" - Jerry Lawler.


Kane vs. Bubba Ray Dudley

Kane's music hit in the arena and he made his way out to the ring for a one on one match against Bubba Ray Dudley and apparently, none of the Dudley Boyz had anything to do with the Undertaker's music playing at the Royal Rumble and Bubba Ray is here tonight in an attempt to get some retribution for his brother Spike against Kane.

Bubba Ray got in the ring and he gave Kane a clubbing blow to the chest and Kane nailed Bubba with a hard right hand and Bubba fired away on Kane with some more clubbing blows to the chest to back him into the ropes.

Kane jammed his thumb into Bubba Ray's eye and that left Bubba in a ton of pain.





Kane got out of the ring and picked up the steel steps and tossed them into the ring and then lifted them up and rammed them into Bubba Ray's head to end the match in a disqualification.


D-Von Dudley stormed to the ring to make the save for Bubba and Kane nailed him as soon as he got in the ring and then Kane lifted D-Von up and gave him the tombstone piledriver.





As Kane got ready to set off his pyro ...





The Undertaker's music hit and a strange video played on the Titantron of a graveyard and of Kane burying the Undertaker amongst other things. This video was very reminiscent of the video played in the hit movie "The Ring" as it had a very strange feel to it.


Eric Bischoff was shown talking on the phone with Paul Heyman and Bischoff said he had no clue Chris Benoit was going to be here. But you know what? If Chris Benoit wants to come to RAW because it's a superior program, then Bischoff isn't going to be the one to stop him. Heyman said he doesn't know what kind of morons he deals with on RAW but he's the Smackdown! General Manager. He can't pull this over on him. Bischoff and Austin have been in on this since the beginning. They play the best game of good cop / bad cop he's ever seen. But from one General Manager to another, get ready because Heyman is going to sue Bischoff's ass. Heyman hung up and Coach showed up and Bischoff explained to Coach what just happened. Coach laughed at what Bischoff and Heyman were doing at the Royal Rumble and Bischoff took offense, asking Coach what he thinks about being put in a No Disqualification Match tonight against Goldberg?!

[MMB]

Rob Conway vs. Rico

Rene Dupree and Rob Conway made their way out to the ring for one on one competition with Rob Conway facing Rico, who was accompanied to the ring by Miss Jackie.





Rico and Conway locked it up in the center of the ring and Conway put Rico in a side headlock.








Rico got out of it with some shots to the ribs and then he put Conway in a side headlock of his own and then twisted him down to the mat with a drop toe hold. Down on the mat, Rico slapped Rob Conway's ass to play mind games with him.





Rico gave Rob Conway a spin kick to the gut and then he grabbed his arm and put him in a wrist lock and kicked him with a mule kick. Rene Dupree got on the ring apron and distracted the referee.

Jackie hopped to the ring apron and she pulled her top down (accidentally shown on TV in full) and that distracted Rob Conway.





Rico picked up the win over Conway with a roll up as he was distracted.


Stacy Keibler's music hit in the arena and she made her way out to the ring and held up the arm of Jackie and Jackie did the same and as they held each other's arms up, Jerry Lawler speculated that Jackie and Stacy would be the two WWE Divas in Playboy!








Mick Foley was shown arriving at the arena in the backstage area and the fans heavily chanted "Foley, Foley!" as he walked through the backstage area.


No Disqualification Match - The Coach vs. Goldberg

The Coach's music hit in the arena and he made his way out to the ring for a one on one No Disqualification match against Goldberg! Coach grabbed the mic and he said that he is out here because he was told to be out here. Now he has already apologized to Eric for what he said a few moments ago but he's asking him again to please change his mind. He has recently been super kicked, hell his ribs are still cracked and taped up courtesy of the Dudley Boyz putting him through a table last Monday night and last night at the Rumble wasn't even a cup of coffee for the Coach. Coach knows Eric can hear him. He's saying please, this is something that nobody wants to see. Nobody wants to see Coach face Goldberg tonight. This is completely unfair and... Theodore Long and Mark Henry came out and Theodore told Coach to hold on a minute. Theodore R. Long and the World's Strongest Man are his back up. Theodore said he was back there listening to Coach and he heard him mention the word unfair. He'll tell him what's unfair. Unfair is that cracker Eric Bischoff dumping his problems on the black man once again. How well does Theodore know about that? The way he sees it, he sees it like its blatant haterizing. Now, whitey seems to think that he can just tell the black man to dance and all the black man is supposed to say is "yes boss, we'll step for you!" Well that's damn pathetic and he's going to do something about it. He's going to do it his way and what he means about that is that tonight, Theodore will give Coach Mark Henry for his corner to watch his back. How does he feel about that? Coach smiled, saying he's feeling that. After the commercial break, Goldberg's music hit in the arena and he made his way out to the ring for his one on one no disqualification match against The Coach!





Mark Henry remained in the ring and The Coach bailed out of the ring and Mark Henry and Goldberg locked it up in the center of the ring and Mark put Goldberg in a side headlock and Goldberg whipped Mark off the ropes and Mark came back with a shoulder block to knock Goldberg down to the mat.

Mark Henry asked Goldberg if he wants to knock him down? Go ahead, take a shot. Goldberg plowed through Mark Henry with a hard clothesline to knock him down to the mat and Mark rolled out of the ring where Theodore cheered Mark on, saying he can beat Goldberg anytime he wants.

Mark Henry put Goldberg in a bear hug and Coach sat on the top rope, saying this is easier than he thought.





Goldberg got out of the bear hug and he gave Mark Henry a power slam down to the mat and then he knocked Mark out of the ring with a clothesline and then he grabbed Coach by the throat and slammed him down to the mat from the top turnbuckle.





Goldberg remained in the corner and stalked Coach as he got to his feet and when he got up, Goldberg gave Coach the spear and then he finished him off with the jackhammer to pick up the win.





Theodore Long attended to Mark Henry and helped him up the ramp to protect him from Goldberg and Goldberg told the camera that he doesn't care what show he's on but he's hunting his ass and Brock Lesnar is next!


Mick Foley's music hit in the arena and he made his way out to the ring to a tremendous ovation from the crowd in attendance in Hershey, Pennsylvania!

Mick Foley took the mic and thanked the fans and then he said it's very nice but he thinks following events of December 15, 2003 maybe an explanation is in order. Since that day, every day he's heard one comment over and over "Why Mick Why?" He's finally come to a place where he can answer that the best he can. When he thinks about his career and fans talk about his career, they talk about his heart, guts, courage and some of that came into play but the main benefit he had was hatred, the ability to take something in his life and hate it very much and channel it in a useful way. To go deep into his heart and produce things in this ring that were thought to be humanly impossible. That's really good as long as he's an active wrestler. But then he thought about Pete Rose and how he turned out is pretty sad. Mick doesn't want to be the sad guy and he doesn't want to be the bitter guy, so when he retired from wrestling, he had to let go of all that anger. He's heard that Mick Foley is a hell of a guy and when he retired, he needed to let go and after a long time, he did and he got to a place where he was truly happy for himself for the first time. He admits to making a big mistake on December 15th but the mistake wasn't walking out on the match, the mistake he made was accepting the match to begin with because as he walked down the ramp to face Randy Orton, he realized that he wasn't willing and maybe not able to go inside that place in his heart to do what was necessary to get the job done. Now Randy kind of seized that opportunity and has chose to make Mick's life a little difficult over the last 7 weeks. Even though he's probably angry at Mick for costing him shot at the main event at Wrestlemania, Mick still thinks that Randy Orton owes him a little favor, so what he'd like to do is call Randy Orton down to the ring without Evolution, one on one right now.

The Evolution music hit in the arena and Randy Orton made his way out to the ring alone as the Intercontinental Champion. Randy said Mick wants a favor from him?





He dares to ask what it is. Mick told Randy to hold on. This may seem out there and downright cooky, but what he'd like him to do is spit in Mick's face again. Randy asked him, you want him to do what? Mick said he told him it's cooky but he knows he can do it because he felt the warmth of his spit in Tampa and he's seen the replays and he just wondered if that was a fluke and if Randy has the guts to spit in his face again in Hershey, Pennsylvania. Randy started to say something but Mick knocked the mic out of his hand, saying he was spilling blood on 6 continents while Randy was still laxed onto his mother's breasts. Mick then ordered Randy Orton to spit in his damn face. Mick slapped Randy Orton a number of times and Randy finally spat in Mick's face. Mick responded by saying "Why I oughta..." Mick said he's not going to hit him and not only is he not going to do that but he's going to turn the other cheek and ask Randy to spit on that one as well because he couldn't help but notice that this was one lackluster loogie. He's willing to bet that he can exhume something green from down deep and plant him right there. Maybe Randy needs a little inspiration, so maybe if we could get a chant going on, "loogie, loogie!" The fans chanted it and Randy pulled one up and spit it right on Foley's face. Mick said "yeah, woooooo!" Mick told the camera to get a good shot at that and realize that it's still only spit. Mick has four children and during the 12 years of raising those kids, he's been beat on, pooped on, thrown up on, sneezed on and even spit on, so being spit on by Randy hasn't been a big deal. Mick went over the whole sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me, but the person that came up with that has never been referred to as Randy Orton's bitch. Mick said that if you tell a lie that's big enough and tell that lie long enough, the public will accept it as fact, no matter how much crap it is. And the idea of Randy as a Hardcore Legend is one big pile of crap. Now take a look because this isn't just spit anymore because he realized that when Randy spit on his face, he spit on his name, his legacy and the very business that he loves and he cannot accept that! Mick has worked too hard and suffered too long to have his reputation torn apart by him. Mick punched himself in the face a few times and then he started bleeding. Mick has seen his ear torn away in Germany and has been through it all. Mick doesn't have to deny the hatred anymore because not only has it been accepted but he will welcome it home because there is a time and a place for hatred. The place is Hershey, Pennsylvania and the time is now! Mick Foley jammed the mic into Randy Orton's head and then gave him a number of right hands and the fans heavily chanted "Foley, Foley!" as he beat the living crap out of Randy Orton! Ric Flair and Batista came out to the ring and Foley knocked Flair down and then Batista knocked Foley down with a hard clothesline. Mick eventually got out of the ring and grabbed a steel chair.





He hit Batista with it and all three members of Evolution bailed out of the ring and Foley remained in the ring, dominating it as blood ran down his face.

i thought the video kicked ass. and i do like the ring theme they're going with

[NDD]

THAT's what the video reminded me of...The Ring! Yeah, that's part of what made it so fucking cool.

I doubt they're gonna have another video this Monday though. They can't just keep doing videos, even though it'll always be cool because The Undertaker can hardly do any wrong. But they need to keep things fresh, add variety.

You know what would be a badass idea? They could sound the gong two or three times when Kane is in the ring, shut out the lights, leave them off for about 10 seconds while playing all kinds of creepy sounds (maybe even the sound of Taker's evil laugh). Then they hit the purple light on the ring and hold it for about 5 seconds then turn the lights back on and all that's left in the ring is Kane, staring down at Taker's tombstone from the Buried Alive match at Survivor Series. It's just sitting in the middle of the ring and he's looking at it, scared shitless.
