May 4, 2004
Attendance: 2,988
The TWF visited a much smaller arena than normal tonight but it didn't stop fans from nearly filling it. The night got started with a tag team match on Uprising. Rob Storm and Sylvan Grenier w/ Jimmy Hart vs. Devon Storm and Slash (invitees) Some may know Storm as Crowbar in WCW and Slash from NWA TNA but they didn't work well against 2 of the men Christopher Nowinski has convinced to read the book authored by he and The Genius. After a big tilt-a-whirl slam by Grenier on Devon Storm, Rob Storm drilled him with a superkick to win it. Justin Sane vs. Chavo Guerrero Justin Sane gave one half of the RAW Tag Team champs all he could handle, nearly pulling the upset more than once. But after missing with the "Asylum", Sane was locked in an STF by Chavo and he had to tap out. Chavo got his hand raised and had a surprised look in his eyes as his mucis played and the crew got the set ready for RAW. RAW GOES LIVE
"ACROSS THE NATION" LOUDLY PLAYS TO START RAW AS USUAL FOLLOWED BY THE MONTAGE VIDEO SHOWCASING IT's STARS. FIREWORKS AND PYRO LIGHT UP THE CENTENNIAL GARDENS AS FANS ARE GOING WILD IN ANTICIPATION.

Lawler: "I have a feeling we're gonna call Cena a former champ after tonight too J.R. but take a look on the scowl on Gail Kim's face"! J.R.: "Obviously still upset about losing the title to Victoria last week but she better be focused tonight or she's gonna fall way down the ladder". "LOVEFURYPASSIONENERGY" BY BOY HITS CAR PLAYS AND LITA STEPS OUT TO A PHENOMENAL POP. Lawler: "Ahhh! Look at this J.R."! J.R.: "Fresh off maternity leave after giving birth to a bouncing baby boy....

AS LITA WARMED UP GETTING READY FOR THE MATCH, THE CROWD STARTED TO BOO WHEN CHRISTIAN RAN DOWN THE AISLE AND INTO THE RING. HE PUT HIS HAND UP AS IF TO SAY "DON'T WORRY" TO GAIL KIM BUT TURNED SUDDENLY AND ROCKED LITA WITH A CLOTHESLINE! HE THEN PULLED HER UP AND PUT HER DOWN WITH THE "UNPRETTIER" AS THE CROWD BOOED VEHEMENTLY. ONE FAN EVEN TRIED TO HOP OVER THE GUARD RAIL BUT WAS CAUGHT AND HAULED AWAY BY SECURITY. J.R.: "What the hell is Christian doing?! I can't believe what I'm seeing in that ring"! Lawler: "Lita is hurt". Christian: "Hey... don't boo me alright. I tried, I tried to smooth things over and be Mr. nice guy. But no, everyone wanted to treat Christian like a pile of crap! Well no more! Starting tonight..... everyone around here, including the damn divas, better take notice that Christian, like it or not.... is back in the TWF and back on RAW"! CHRISTIAN's MUSIC PLAYS AND HE SLAMS THE MIC ON THE MAT, JUST INCHES AWAY FROM LITA BEFORE WALKING AWAY TO SOME OF THE LOUDEST HEAT IN AWHILE. Lawler: "This crowd is all over Christian"! J.R.: "Can you blame them?! This man is a no good rat! He's a damn compost pile and his actions were dispicable! I just can't wait to see the day when he pays for this one with his ass"! Lawler: "Geez J.R., calm down". BACKSTAGE...... CAMERAS IN THE BACK SHOW NEMESIS LOOKING AT SOME BROKEN PIECES OF GLASS, PRESUMABLY FROM ONE OF HIS MANY BROKEN MIRRORS WHEN CHRISTOPHER NOWINSKI AND THE GENIUS APPROACH.

Now I realize that you aren't in the best of moods, but The Genius and I have written a book and it's catered towards underachivers like you". NEMESIS GETS UP. The Genius: "Now hold off on the physicality that so easily pops into thought and for once, use what's really in your mind, use what's really in your thoughts". THE GENIUS HANDS NEMESIS A COPY OF THEIR BOOK, "INTELLIGENCE BREEDS A WINNER" AND NEMESIS RELUCTANTLY TAKES IT. Lawler: "He took it"! J.R.: "It looks like these Einstein's turned authors are brainwashers too.... just what the heck are they up to"? THE SHOT FADES OUT AS RAW GOES TO BREAK....... COMMERCIAL BREAK..... A COMMERCIAL FOR SNICKERS IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY A PREVIEW FOR THE MOVIE "VAN HELSING". RETURN FROM BREAK.....TWF RE-WIND SHOWS TWF SLAUGHTERHOUSE G.M. JESSE STEELE SHAKING THE HAND OF CHRIS BENOIT AFTER HIS LOSS TO HIGH OCTANE ON THE LAST RAW. J.R.: "RAW is live tonight from Bakersfield, California and tonight, the King of Cable title will be on the line when Joe Corey challenges John Cena and King, rumors have been swirling as to why Jesse Steele shook hands with Chris Benoit last week". Lawler: "Well I have the answer. Remember when he threatened to sue Stephanie for some kind of contract he had to use former RAW superstar Rene Dupree"? J.R.: "Well yeah, certainly". Lawler: "Well it turns out that Chris Benoit has been traded to SlaughterHouse for a guy named Rodney Mack in order to settle that dispute". "ALL GROWN UP" HITS AND STEPHANIE McMAHON COMES OUT TO A HUGE POP. J.R.: "Well we're certainly gonna miss Chris Benoit here on RAW but we wish him well on SlaughterHouse and here comes our owner..... Stephanie McMahon"! Lawler: "She's the billion dollar princess J.R. and she has those poll results"! J.R.: "Judging by the smile on her face, she looks proud to announce the winner". Stephanie McMahon: "First of all, I wanna thank the over half million fans who voted in this poll! THE FANS CHEER In my hands, I have the results of the poll in which you, the fans, selected a new number one contender to challenge Kurt Angle for the TWF World title at Evil Intentions"! THE FANS CHEER AGAIN Lawler: "Who's it gonna be J.R."? Stephanie: "First of all, I wanna call Eddie Guerrero to the ring". "VIVA LA RAZA" HITS AND EDDIE GUERRERO COMES OUT TO A HUGE POP.

J.R.: "Not sure what Stephanie is doing here but nonetheless, here comes in my opinion the top young superstar in the TWF today". Stephanie: "Okay guys, I called you both out here to let you know that with over five hundred thousdand votes, you two finished first and second place. And not only that, but you were seperated by less than one hundred votes"! J.R.: "Wow". Stephanie: "So Eddie, I'm sorry, but Austin Pyromania is the winner". "DON'T PLAY WITH FIRE" PLAYS AGAIN AND EDDIE RESPECTFULLY SHAKES PYROMANIA's HAND. Lawler: "Pyromania did it"! J.R.: "Austin Pyromania is the people's pick and Eddie seems okay with it! Now he'll have another go round with Kurt Angle"! Lawler: "But is that really what he wants"? BACKSTAGE...... “The Show” Joe Corey is seen sitting in his locker room, talking to an unknown person.
Joe Corey: "This is what you have been working towards all this time. This is what you have been living for for months now. You have done everything to get to this point. There is no turning back from this. Everyone is against you. Everyone thinks you are going after too much too fast. You haven’t been in TWF for a full year yet, but you have still risen to the top. Ask Taylor Made. Ask Austin Pyromania. They will both tell you that you are the real deal. Ask Chaos Wolfe. He got his ass kicked last week, and it was John Cena who cost you that match, not Wolfe, and not “The Show” Joe Corey. That issue is not over, but tonight, you have a chance to prove to John Cena that you are the best. Tonight, you need to prove to the fans that you are the best. Tonight, you need to prove to yourself that you are the best. Tonight, you become the King of Cable".
Alexis Laree opens the locker room door and pokes her head in.
Alexis Laree: "Honey.... you almost ready"?
Joe Corey stands up to reveal that he has been talking to a wall mirror the whole time.
Corey: "In just a little while Alexis..... it's Showtime". Laree: "Did you just see that they awarded Pyromania with the number one contendership"? Corey: "They what?! (he gathers himself) No, you know what.... this is my night". HE BRUSHES ALEXIS' HAIR BACK AND LEAVES THE ROOM AS THE SHOT GOES BACK TO RINGSIDE WHERE A-TRAIN's MUSIC IS PLAYING. Lawler: "That match is gonna be a classic J.R. I doubt Cena is as focused as Corey". "LOOSE" BY EMINEM HITS AND CARNEY TROTS OUT TO A GOOD POP. J.R.: "I don't know about that King, John Cena, save for a few weeks when that man (camera gets a shot of A-Train) was the champion, has been the King of Cable since it's inception. It's gonna take a near perfect match to beat him". Lawler: "Well I think it's gonna take more than that for Carney to beat A-Train.... it's gonna take a miracle"! J.R.: "Carney is trying to get back on the winning...... SUDDENLY, THE NEW MUSIC OF "UNDER A BROTHA SERVICES" HITS AND TEDDY LONG COMES OUT WITH JOHNNY BLAZE AND THEY STAND ATOP THE STAGE. Oh what now"? Teddy Long: "Hey Carney.... are you really recovered from the beating Big Poppa Pump gave you last week? I tell ya cracker, joining us is looking better and better every week isn't it, should've taken the oppurtunity when it was there". Johnny Blaze: "Carney, tonight your losing streak continues! You'll never get a win and soon, your career will be so far down the tubes, you'll have no choice but to quit"! J.R.: "Just who the hell are these guys"? JUST THEN, A-TRAIN ATTACKS CARNEY FROM BEHIND AND THE BELL SOUNDS. Carney had a hard time taking the shots of the 350 pound A-Train. But after avoiding a backhand, he caught A-Train with a wheel kick that rocked him back. He then stepped on his foot and dropkicked him in the right knee. Carney then hit the ropes and went for a cross body but A-Train caught him in mid air and just fell straight down. He then went for a big splash but Carney moved. He grabbed A-Train around the head when he got up and went for a tornado DDT but A-Train was too big and strong and he tossed him across the ring before drilling him with his Pump Kick. A-Train then pulled a limp Carney up and put him in a bear hug. Referee Jose Mendez checked the arm and after it fell lifelessly one time, he called for the bell. Match Time: 3:18 THE CAMERA SHOWED LONG AND BLAZE LAUGHING BEFORE LEAVING. Lawler: "Looks like the prediction of Under a Brotha Services was right on J.R."! A-TRAIN LEFT IN A HURRY AS HIS MUSIC PLAYED AND CARNEY TRIED TO GET UP. J.R.: "Oh yeah, just like a couple of damn psychics! Under a Brother services.... come on! Why does Teddy Long only have one member if it's such a good thing"?! Lawler: "Well so far they're making things miserable for Carney who I'm sure is wishing he could rethink his decision to join"! J.R.: "I highly doubt it and if I were Carney, I would push for Johnny Blaze or whatever the hell his name is to get his ass in the ring instead of just running his mouth"! A ROOM LIT ONLY BY CANDLES IS SHOWN AND INSIDE IS A MAN WITH WHITE HAIR WHO IS WEARING A WHITE CLOAK. IT IS MORDECAI AND HE BEGINS TO SPEAK. Mordecai: "Soon..... soon the day of reckoning will arrive and the suffering will begin. For I, I am not the taker of souls, just the decision maker for their destinies. Darkness may bring fear but the light brings clear vision............ HEAR ME........ FEAR ME!!!!! MORDECAI..... COMING SOON TO RAW!! BACKSTAGE....... AS RAW GOES BACK TO LIVE ACTION, AUSTIN PYROMANIA IS SHOWN LYING FACE DOWN IN THE BACKSTAGE AREA, SURROUNDED BY STACY KIEBLER AND SEVERAL TWF AGENTS. TWF Trainer: "What happened"? Stacy Kiebler: "I don't know.... I went to get our stuff so we could go out to eat and celebrate and when I came back... I found him". Trainer: "He's out cold..... we'll need an ambulance". J.R.: "What the hell happened"? Lawler: "I don't know, but the number one contender is down and out"! COMMERCIAL BREAK...... A COMMERCIAL FOR X-BOX IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY A PROGRAMMING AD FOR "MXC". RETURN FROM BREAK.... BACKSTAGE.... AS RAW RETURNS, CAMERAS IN THE BACK SHOW PYROMANIA BEING LOOKED AT BY EMT's. INSIDE THE ARENA, AN ANNOYING SIREN IS BLARING OVER THE LOUDSPEAKERS AND THE BOOS OF THE CROWD ARE ALMOST AS LOUD. Lawler: "What the heck happened to Pyromania J.R."? J.R.: "I don't know, but someone damn sure has an answer and what the hell is that noise"?! IN THE RING, STEVEN RICHARDS AND "MR. MATURE" OLIVER WORTH ARE WITH CYRUS THE VIRUS, WHO HAS A MICROPHONE. Cyrus the Virus: "Not that we feel we owe any of you an explanation, but the network felt we do". Lawler: "What... the network"? Cyrus: "Ya see, we have been hired by the FCC or Federal Communications Commission and we will be known as the Network Police. Along with myself, Steven Richards and Oliver Worth here have a passion for what this business used to stand for, before it became a scharade and a weekly porn show". Lawler: "Who does this guy think he is"? Cyrus: "So starting tonight, we are going to band together to bring wrestling back to what it used to be. Gone are the days of fire pokers in the ring. Gone are the days of wrestlers talking about each other's wives and mothers. Gone are the days of women prancing around in their bikinis! This is wrestling, not the Howard Stern show for Christ sake! Oh and trust me.... anyone who doesn't follow these rules, will be summonsed to our court of law". CYRUS LET's OUT AN EVIL LAUGH AS THE SIREN HITS AGAIN. J.R.: "I don't believe this". Lawler: "RAW has gotten network police"? J.R.: "Well if they work for the FCC, then I'm the damn Pope's first born! This is ludicrous"! BACKSTAGE AREA....... EDDIE GUERRERO IS SHOWN SITTING, DEEP IN THOUGHT WHEN CHAVO GUERRERO COMES UP. Chavo: "You didn't have to do it Eddie"! Eddie: "Do what Chavito"? Chavo: "Don't play dumb with me man.... everyone knows it was you who attacked Pyromania back here"! Eddie: "What? It wasn't me.... I've been thinking as hard as I can about who would've done it". Chavo: "Well save it, cause you're not gonna convince anyone. (Chavo starts to walk away but turns back) For once in your life.... would it have been that bad to be second place"? CHAVO STORMS AWAY. Eddie: "Chavo.... I.... I didn't do it". EDDIE LOOKS HOPELESS AS HE WATCHES HIS NEPHEW KEEP WALKING. BACK AT RINGSIDE, "3 MINUTES" BY 2 SKINNY J's IS PLAYING AND JAMAL AND ROSEY ARE COMING OUT WEARING BLACK AND WHITE FUBU JERSEYS. J.R.: "Now I think that's an error of judgement on Chavo's part. That's his uncle he's accusing"! Lawler: "Not to mention the other half of the RAW Tag team champs but Chavo does make some good points J.R.". CHUCK PALUMBO AND SHAWN STASIAK's MUSIC HITS AND THEY COME OUT TO A GOOD POP. J.R.: "He has no ground to stand on. But think of how that must make Eddie feel". Lawler: "Come on J.R., everyone's a suspect.... even us"! J.R.: "Well you know that's not true but right now, two teams that have been going at it over the past several weeks are gonna collide in a singles encounter with a representative from each". Lawler: "Jamal and Rosey have been getting the best of Palumbo and Stasiak J.R. and tonight might be the night they just lay it all on them". J.R.: "Well don't forget that last time they needed the help of a masked man who we still don't know the identity of but right now, it's gonna be Chuck Palumbo and the near four hundred pound Rosey". Rosey w/ Jamal vs. Chuck Palumbo w/ Shawn Stasiak Palumbo was the smaller of the two but the aggressor of the two. He took it to Rosey from the opening bell, smashing him with some right hands that had a stinging effect before shooting him to the corner and following in with a clothesline. Palumbo tried to use all that momentum to power Rosey up for a bodyslam but it was a bad choice. Rosey then came back with a belly to belly suplex before whipping him to the corner for an avalanche splash. Rosey then went for a big legdrop but Palumbo was able to get out of the way. Jamal got on the apron but Stasiak ran over and pulled him down. Palumbo tagged Rosey with a discus punch before hitting the ropes for a big clothesline that took him off his feet. But moments later, Crystal Carmichael, making her first TWF appearance in quite some time, came out in a black tank top and silver pants and grabbed Palumbo's foot as he hit the ropes again, behind the back of referee Jack Doan who was busy with the other two. Palumbo reached over the ropes and grabbed Crystal by the hair but Rosey came from behind with a shot to the back followed by a big superkick. Palumbo fell hard to the mat as Rosey dropped a spinning legdrop on him and covered him for the 1......2........3. Match Time: 5:44 Lawler: "Rosey just squashed him with that legdrop"! J.R.: "But did you see who is out here? That's Crystal Carmichael and the last time we saw her in the TWF.... she was on PrimeTime"! "3 MINUTES" PLAYED AS CRYSTAL WALKED UP THE RAMP WITH ROSEY AND JAMAL. Lawler: "I don't know what to make of this J.R."! J.R.: "Well Jamal and Rosey have definitely found people to help them win their matches, but I believe it's more than one because she is not the person who was under that mask a couple weeks ago"! Lawler: "Well at least we know that when Jamal and Rosey have a match from now on.... there will be something to look at". BACKSTAGE...... AS THE SHOT GOES INTO THE BACKSTAGE AREA, RUE DEBONA IS OUTSIDE STEPHANIE McMAHON's OFFICE, STANDING WITH THE OWNER OF RAW. Rue Debona: "Stephanie, what is your announcement"? Stephanie: "Well Rue, I regret to inform all the fans that voted for him that due to his injuries, Austin Pyromania will be in no condition to compete at Evil Intentions. THE FANS BOO. So I have decided to do the next best thing and award the number one contendership to the man who was second place...... Eddie Guerrero". Lawler: "Look at that! See I knew Eddie did it"! J.R.: "How does that make him guilty"?! Lawler: "Oh come on J.R., it's so obvious"! COMMERCIAL BREAK....... A COMMERCIAL FOR PIZZA HUT FEATURING JESSICA SIMPSON IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY ONE FOR THE YJ STINGER COMMERCIAL FEATURING JOHN CENA. RETURN FROM BREAK.... RINGSIDE..... AS RAW RETURNS, THE BASHAMS ARE SHOWN HEADING TO THE RING. J.R.: "Tonight TWF RAW is brought to you by the new movie Van Helsing and YJ Stinger and King, Bakersfield has seen a great show and we've got much more to come". Lawler: "This is what makes RAW the best show on tv as far as sports entertainment is concerned. There's action around every corner"! J.R.: "And it's been an action filled night tonight on Spike TV and right now, we've got tag team action". VAL VENIS' MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT ALONG WITH VAL VENIS AS THE BELL SOUNDS AND LILIAN GARCIA ANNOUNCES THE PARTICIPANTS. Lawler: "This is like the TWF's odd couple right here J.R.". J.R.: "They may not have much in common, but they get the job done in the ring and a win over Doug and Danny Basham here could propel them to the number one contender's spot". Val Venis and Sam Wilde vs. The Basham Brothers Sam Wilde started things off with Doug Basham who seemed a little tentative about locking up. Wilde used a go behind and pushed Doug who made a weak case to referee Jim Korderas that Wilde pulled the hair that he ddin't have. They locked up again and Wilde scored with a deep arm drag followed by a european hip toss and Doug rolled out of the ring to regroup. But after a shuffle outside the ring, the Bashams switched places and Danny came in. Korderas didn't seem to catch it and Danny was able to slow Wilde down with a big kneelift followed by a backbody drop off an irish whip. Doug then tagged in and they whipped Wilde in, giving him a double hip toss. Danny then made a sharp turn and rocked Venis with a cheap shot. Venis tried to come in but Korderas stopped him and Danny, now the illegal man, stayed in the ring. He hammered Wilde with some straight right hands in one corner before shooting him to another. But when he followed in, Wilde easily got out of the way and watched him post his left shoulder before dropping him with a backdrop suplex. Wilde then made a tag to Venis who was all over Danny Basham. Doug tried to run in but Venis drilled him with an uppercut punch before turning to a charging Danny and catching him with a spinebuster. He seemed ready for the "Money Shot" but Doug got up and pushed him to the floor. Wilde came in the ring as Val grabbed his right ankle in pain and went at Doug. They traded shots as Danny went outside and rolled Val in. Korderas finally decided to try and get some order and forced Danny and Wilde into their respective corners. Val was able to catch Doug with a big powerslam before diving to make the tag to Wilde. Wilde put Doug down with a snap suplex and he went for the cover but Danny came in to make the save. Doug rolled out of the way as Venis came into the ring but Korderas stopped him. Danny stayed in the ring again and went and knocked Val to the floor with a forearm. Wilde then went for a clothesline but Danny caught him and had him set up for a russian leg sweep, delivering it at the same time Doug ran over him with a clothesline and Danny hooked the leg for the 1.....2......3. Match Time: 5:09 J.R.: "My God how many times did the Bashams switch in that match"?! Lawler: "That was a brilliant gameplan J.R., The Bashams used their brains to win that one". J.R.: "Their brains? Venis and Wilde got beat because Korderas could tell them apart.... as opposed to the others". JUST THEN, VENIS GETS IN THE RING AND GRABS A MIC AS THE BASHAMS WALK AWAY WITH THEIR ARMS RAISED. Val Venis: "Sam.... it's okay, we'll get it back. Fans, I just wanted to let all of you know that today is Sam's birthday". THE FANS CHEER. J.R.: "Well then happy birthday". WILDE STARTS TO BLUSH Venis: "Now I know we haven't been partners for all that long man, but I wanted to do something special for you tonight". WILDE GETS A BIG SMILE ON HIS FACE. Lawler: "What is it?! I love surprises"! Venis: "Back at our hotel room... I have four strippers just waiting to get their hands on us"! THE FANS CHEER AS VENIS' MUSIC HITS BUT WILDE's SMILE TURNS TO A LOOK OF CONCERN. Lawler: "Oh my gosh J.R.! Can you maybe do the rest of the show alone"?! J.R.: "Sit down antsy pants"! Lawler: "What is wrong with Sam Wilde.... there couldn't be a better surprise than that"! BACKSTAGE..... CAMERAS IN THE BACK PICK UP A CONVERSATION BETWEEN CYRUS THE VIRUS AND NATHAN JONES AS STEVEN RICHARDS AND MR. MATURE LOOK ON. Cyrus: "So again, what I am offering you is the chance to be my Upholder of Standards. JONES JUST STARES AT THE 3 MEN. Come on boys, he'll come around... he just needs some time to think about it". THE NETWORK POLICE WALK AWAY AS THE SHOT GOES BACK INTO THE ARENA. 24 KARAT GOLD PRODUCTIONS APPEARS ON THE TWF TRON AS GOLD PYRO AND CONFETTI POP OFF SKYWARD, LEADING GOLDUST AND JACKIE GAYDA TO THE RING AS GOLDUST's MUSIC PLAYS. J.R.: "Don't tell me this leach.... this parasite Cyrus the Virus is already trying to recruit RAW superstars for this new group". Lawler: "Hey, the FCC probably pays really well J.R.". J.R.: "Oh they don't work for the FCC for God sake! But right now, the bizarre one is going to meet the man who was able to shock Nathan Jones on the last RAW, beating him one, two, three"! SHELTON BENJAMIN's MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT TO A LOUDER POP THAN USUAL AS HIS LAST WIN OBVIOUSLY STARTED A FANBASE. Lawler: "It'll never happen again J.R. and tonight he's in there with a veteran, a man who knows all the tricks and speaking of tricks, I wish Jackie could show me some". J.R.: "Can you get your mind out of the gutter for a few minutes King? We've got a match to call here, one that could jumpstart the young career of Shelton Benjamin's.... if the win over Nathan Jones didn't already"! Shelton Benjamin vs. Goldust w/ Jackie Gayda There was confidence in Shelton's eyes and in his step as he took on Goldust, hip tossing him twice and then body slamming him to start the match. Goldust did some complaining to referee Chad Patton but Shelton stayed on him with a big splash in the corner. He then whipped him to the ropes but made a youngster's mistake by ducking down too soon and Goldust dropped to the mat, punching him with an open hand in the mouth. After a slingshot suplex, Goldust unzipped the top of his attire and sexually crawled on top of Benjamin who rolled out of the ring, freaked out. Patton forced Goldust to let him come back in and when he did, Goldust was waiting with some hard right hands before whipping him into the corner and catching him with a big bulldog as he came out. He hooked the leg but somehow Benjamin kicked out at 2. Goldust whipped him to the far corner and moved in, putting each leg up on the ropes. Goldust backed up and did his infamous taunt before revving up for the Shattered Dreams. But Benjamin got off the ropes and nailed Goldust with a spin kick to the face. He went for the cover but Patton could only get 2 before Goldust got a shoulder up. After a scoop slam, Benjamin went to the outside and climbed the tunrbuckle. In the ring, Goldust pulled Patton away so he could not see Jackie Gayda extinguish a lit cigar on the back of the left calf of Benjamin. Benjamin fell to the mat in pain before getting up and looking at Jackie in anger. But just then, Goldust came from behind with the rollup and got the victory by hooking the tights. Match Time: 7:30 J.R.: "Ahhh! Damn it"! Lawler: "What a match"! J.R.: "Can you believe what that jezebel did? JACKIE AND GOLDUST WALKED UP THE RAMP AS HIS MUSIC PLAYED AND BENJAMIN, STILL IN PAIN, CHECKED HIS LEG. She put the damn cigar out on Shelton's leg"! Lawler: "She did what she had to do to help her man win.... I like Jackie even more now"! J.R.: "Well you might, but I can name someone who doesn't real fast"! BACKSTAGE..... CAMERAS SHOW BRADSHAW, IN A SUIT AND TIE, WALKING DOWN THE HALLWAY SURROUNDED BY POLICE OFFICERS. Lawler: "Look.... there's Bradshaw"! J.R.: "What the heck are the policemen for"? COMMERCIAL BREAK....... A COMMERCIAL FOR KILL BILL VOL. 2 IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY A PROMO FOR TWF EVIL INTENTIONS.... ONLY ON PAY-PER-VIEW! RETURN FROM BREAK.... RINGSIDE..... AS RAW RETURNS, BRADSHAW's NEW MUSIC IS PLAYING AND HE IS IN THE RING WITH 8 BAKERSFIELD POLICE OFFICERS. Bradshaw: "Now I know Bakersfield isn't the smartest city on the map, but I have to admit, ya'll have some good policemen. The reason why they are here tonight is so that I could come out here and tell that cheap shot artist Strife that I have filed a legal restraining order against him which prohibits him from getting any closer than fifty feet from me". J.R.: "Cheap shot artist.... that's like the pot calling the kettle black". Bradshaw: "So Strife, I know you're back there and I know you heard this, so you've been warned. Let's go boys". BRADSHAW TOSSES THE MIC DOWN BUT BEFORE HE CAN LEAVE, "GET OFF MY TRACKS" BY P.O.D. HITS AND STRIFE COMES OUT TO A ROAR. Lawler: "Wasn't he listening?! He can't get within fifty feet of Bradshaw"! J.R.: "It looks to me like Strife has said the hell with it"! BRADSHAW PICKS THE MIC BACK UP. Bradshaw: "Okay, now I know you were one of the stupidest kids in your class, but even you know what a restraining order is! I'm warning you Strife, come any closer and you will be spending the night in jail"! JUST THEN, STRIFE CHARGES THE RING AND GOES AFTER BRADSHAW BUT THE OFFICERS GET TO HIM FIRST. THE CROWD STARTS TO BOO. Lawler: "Well.... that's closer than fifty feet so guess what"?! THE OFFICERS START TO HANDCUFF STRIFE. J.R.: "I just wish that Bradshaw would be the man he once was.... the new attitude is bogus"! Bradshaw: "And let this be a lesson to ya". WITH STRIFE IN HANDCUFFS, BRADSHAW SMASHES HIM WITH A RIGHT HAND BEFORE THE POLICEMEN HAUL HIM OFF. J.R.: "Now come on! The man is defenseless"! Bradshaw: "Get him outta here! Just like all these people in Bakersfield, he feels like he's above the law! Find him a nice cell and make sure you put him with the guy who's been in there the longest.... that oughta be somethin"! JUST THEN, "ALL GROWN UP" HITS AND BRADSHAW GETS A SERIOUS LOOK ON HIS FACE WHEN HE SEES STEPHANIE. Lawler: "Wait a minute J.R....., what's this"? Stephanie: "Ya know Bradshaw, I can't overturn your restraining order tonight and get Strife out of jail. But I can do this, so listen closely. At Evil Intentions, restraining order or not.... it's gonna be you versus Strife..... one on one"! THE CROWD LOUDLY POPS AS "ALL GROWN UP" PLAYS AGAIN AND BRADSHAW IS LEFT WITH A SURPRISED LOOK ON HIS FACE. Lawler: "She can't do that! That restraining order is legal and binding"! J.R.: "She's the owner of RAW and she's Bradshaw's boss.... she can do whatever the hell she wants"! Lawler: "I can't believe this"! A PROMO GRAPHIC CONTAINING THE EVIL INTENTIONS LOGO WHICH HAS A BLOODY KNIFE IN THE CENTER OF THE TWO WORDS POPS UP. HIGH OCTANE IS ON ONE SIDE AND SHAWN MICHAELS ON THE OTHER. J.R.: "Well fans, also announced today, even though they were both given the night off tonight, former friends High Octane and Shawn Michaels will go one on one at Evil Intentions one more time". Lawler: "Well the last time they fought it was on friendly terms and HBK got the best of him but I don't know if even old Heartbreak has an answer for the new High Octane"!

Lawler: "Well look no further, she's got a big challenge awaiting her right now". TWF Women's Title Match Challenger.... Jazz vs. Victoria This was a great women's match that started out with some basic chain wrestling. Victoria was able to catch Jazz coming at her with a back elbow before hitting a standing moonsault that started with some body girations. Victoria pulled her up and gave her a couple kicks to the body before whipping her to the ropes but Jazz came off with a hard clothesline. That led to a huge legdrop from the former Women's basketball player and Jazz then scored with a vertical suplex. She hooked the leg but could only get a 2 count. Jazz tossed Victoria into the corner and smashed her with a few knifedge chops before picking her up for a powerbomb. But Victoria escaped her grasp and dropped her with a 2 handed facesbuster. Victoria then went to the apron on the outside and flipped over the top rope with a legdrop that found the mark and got 1.......2...., but that was it. Victoria then sent her into the ropes but Jazz came back by sticking her with a DDT that looked like it spelled the end of the match but somehow, Victoria kicked out. After a few hard forearms, Jazz sent her to the ropes looking for a clothesline but Victoria countered and picked her up, hitting the "Widow's Peak" out of nowhere. But before she could make the cover, Terri and Desire hit the ring and attacked Victoria as referee Jack Doan asked for the bell. Taylor Made came out and got into the ring with a huge smile on his face. Match Time: 7:02 J.R.: "What in the hell is the meaning of this"? Taylor Made: (As Terri and Desire hold Victoria up by her hair) "Victoria, a couple weeks ago, we gave you a chance to come and play with us. We asked nicely, but you didn't want to. Tonight, we are demanding that you either come back and party with us or suffer the consequences". Lawler: "She's got a choice". J.R.: "Wait a minute...... THE FANS CAME ALIVE IN CHEER AS BILLY GUNN RAN DOWN THE RAMP AND INTO THE RING AS THE OTHER 3 SCURRIED AWAY. Well thank God for Billy Gunn! This Taylor Made is deranged"! Lawler: "No, he's just like me, he can't get enough satisfaction J.R.". J.R.: "Oh for God.... folks let's go to some pre-recorded comments from Kurt Angle". PRE-RECORDED KURT ANGLE IS SHOWN IN HIS HOME, SITTING IN FRONT OF A FIREPLACE. Kurt Angle: "Most of you may be wondering why your Olympic hero is not there tonight.

And while I understand that the winner will be chosen by the fans, I know you people will pick the best opponent possible. After all, you don't have much to choose from. So whether I face a washed up has been or an ex-con, you can rest assured that at Evil Intentions..... your Olympic hero is gonna bring it and leave with the World title.... oh it's true, it's damn true". Lawler: "He's ready J.R.". J.R.: "Well speaking of ready, we are ready for our main event.... King of Cable title on the line..... next"! COMMERCIAL BREAK......

John Cena: "Yo, yo, yo, Joe Corey, I know you're ready to finally go one on one. But stop being so anxious man, I ain't here to give you none. I realize that you and Alexis are kinda freaky, but leave what you do behind closed doors bro because it makes her seem like a ho! (Cena covers his mouth) Oh I forgot, I'm not supposed to do that.

TWF King of Cable Title Match Challenger..... "The Show" Joe Corey w/ Alexis Laree vs. John Cena The bell sounded as the two men were trading right hands. Corey got in a knee lift but Cena reversed an irish whip and nailed him with a forearm. Cena had the crowd all hyped up as he pulled Corey up and whipped him to the corner. Cena followed up with some hard right hands and then whipped him to the ropes again, catching him with a powerslam that drew a 2 count. Corey was shaken up but Cena went to the top rope and came flying off. But Corey got back into it with a punch to the midsection. Corey then hit a german suplex followed by a spinning legdrop before getting up and raising his arms to the boos of the crowd. Corey stayed on top of Cena with a swinging neckbreaker before pulling Cena up and shooting him to the corner. He charged in but Cena was waiting with a foot to the face before whipping him into the ropes and knocking him down with a flying shoulder tackle. The match continued at a seesaw pace but off an irish whip, Cena ducked a clothesline and tried to come back with one of his own but Corey ducked that and Cena nailed referee Earl Hebner. Hebner took quite a shot but Cena nailed the Throwback on Corey and hooked the leg for an obvious 3 count but there was no one to make the count. The crowd began booing loudly as Mr. Mature came down to the ring and exchanged words with Cena. But when Cena turned around to go back to Corey, Steven Richards was in the ring and he smashed him with the "Stevie Kick". Alexis then helped revive Hebner as Corey pulled Cena up and dropped him with the "Showstopper" before rolling him over as Hebner came to make the 1..........2.........3. Match Time: 6:33 J.R.: "This is a damn travesty! Joe Corey has won the title with enough help to go to war with"! Lawler: "But he won the title J.R...... Cena has been dethroned"!
