Pepsi Arena

Albany, New York

Attendance: 11,610

May 11, 2004

After being moved to the Pepsi arena due to an NBA Playoff game, the superstars of RAW were exhausted. The fans made the trip across the Hudson river from the originally scheduled venue of the Continental Airlines arena to watch them perform and they didn't disappoint. The action got started with Uprising and the return of Lita!

Lita vs. Jazz

Lita looked terrific for just having a baby but Jazz welcomed her back to the ring with a serious attack. Lita got back into a match that Jazz dominated with a headscissor takedown and then hit a wicked DDT. But she missed her top rope moonsault and Jazz made her pay with a fisherman buster, spoiling her return by handing her a defeat.

Val Venis vs. A-Train

This was a great match and was actually one of the better to watch all night as these two superstars went all out for the win. But in a back and forth, seesaw battle, A-Train avoided a body splash in the corner and smashed Venis with his Pump Kick and covered him for the count of 3.

THE FANS LOUDLY BOOED AS A-TRAIN's MUSIC PLAYED AND THE SHOT FADED TO BLACK.

RAW GOES LIVE

"ACROSS THE NATION" HITS RIGHT INTO THE OPENING MONTAGE VIDEO FOR RAW. THE FANS ARE LOUDLY CHEERING AND HAVING A GREAT TIME INSIDE THE PEPSI ARENA.

Jim Ross: "We were relocated but not to be outdone, TWF RAW is live from the Pepsi Arena in Albany, New York"!

Jerry Lawler: "Yeah, and for Nets basketball J.R.! They better win after all this"!

J.R.: "Thousands of fans have made the trek across the Hudson from our original venue of the Continental Airlines arena but King, this is still gonna be one helluva show"!

CHRISTIAN's MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT TO A HOARD OF BOOS.

Lawler: "Yeah.... and we're starting out with a guy who hasn't been too well received here on RAW J.R.".

J.R.: "Christian came back to the TWF after some time in a rival promotion and no, you're damn right he hasn't been well received and he sure as hell didn't help his case by giving poor Lita the Un-Prettier on her first night back after having a baby"!

"I GOT IT ALL" HITS AND BILLY GUNN COMES OUT TO A GOOD POP.

Lawler: "I heard Jordan Rockwell wasn't too happy about that either J.R.".

J.R.: "Well of course he wasn't King! What the hell would you do if Christian gave your wife the Un-Prettier"?

Lawler: "Exactly why I'm single"!

J.R.: "Anyway, Billy Gunn will provide the opposition here and hopefully he gives Christian a good attitude adjustment"!

Lawler: "Wasn't Billy Gunn the one who came out to Victoria's aid last week? Maybe he's a little uh, lonely if ya know what I mean J.R.".

J.R.: "Let's just get to the match".

Christian vs. Billy Gunn

The bell sounded and Billy Gunn came out very agressive, throwing some hard right hands. The two men got in a lockup and Gunn grabbed him in a side headlock and tried to knot up Christian's head with some stiff shots. Once he let go, a fired up Christian threw a clothesline but Gunn ducked and shot him to the ropes, drilling him with a dropkick. But the crafty Christian got up and grabbed Billy by the waist before negotiating referee Jack Doan into a position where he couldn't see a quick mule kick. Christian then delivered the lethal "Un-Prettier" and hooked the near leg for the 1......2.......3.

Match Time: 2:31

Lawler: "Whoa, that might be record time"!

J.R.: "I don't know about record time, but maybe record amount of moves! That was all Christian did was the cheap low blow and then his finisher"!

CHRISTIAN's MUSIC PLAYED AS HE WENT BACKSTAGE WITH A HUGE SMILE ON HIS FACE.

Lawler: "He's a winner J.R., like it or not"!

J.R.: "Oh he's a jackass"!

JUST THEN, VICTORIA CAME OUT TO CHECK ON BILLY GUNN, CROUCHING DOWN BY HIM.

Lawler: "What's this"?

J.R.: "Looks like Victoria is returning the favor".

VICTORIA FINALLY GOT BILLY TO HIS FEET WHEN "LIKE A PIMP" BY DA BAND HIT AND TAYLOR MADE CAME OUT WITH HIS TWO GORGEOUS VIXENS, TERRI AND DESIRE.

J.R.: "Oh now what"?!

Taylor Made: "Hey there Victoria.

VICTORIA DOESN'T LOOK ENTHUSED.

Listen girl, you can play that game all you want, but we both know you want this".

J.R.: "Oh she does not.... give it up already"!

Taylor: "But Vicky, what I came out here for was to put out a challenge for Evil Intentions. I was thinking that me and one of my beautiful, very satisfied girls here face you and your little friend Billy Gunn at the pay-per-view... with one little catch".

Lawler: (excitedly) "Oh there's a catch".

Taylor: "The catch is if my team wins, you have to spend twenty four hours with....... me".

J.R.: "Oh don't do it"!

BILLY GRABS A MICROPHONE.

Billy Gunn: "We'll do it! We accept"!

VICTORIA LOOKED AT HIM WITH AN UNEASY LOOK IN HIS EYES AS TAYLOR STARTED LAUGHING AND WENT BACKSTAGE WITH HIS WOMEN.

J.R.: "Billy Gunn has accepted this challenge but I don't think that was Victoria's wish"!

Lawler: "Taylor has gotten his wish J.R..... and he called her Vicky"!

J.R.: "I think is disgusting and I just hope her and Billy Gunn don't lose that match"!

Lawler: "Billy Gunn better hope they don't either"!

A PROMO GRAPHIC WITH THE RAW LOGO POPS UP SHOWING LOS GUERREROS HOLDING THEIR TAG TEAM TITLES ON ONE SIDE AND THE BASHAM BROTHERS ON THE OTHER.

J.R.: "Still to come tonight, Eddie and Chavo Guerrero, the uncle-nephew combination will defend the RAW Tag team titles against the brother combination of Doug and Danny Basham"!

Lawler: "I hope Doug and Danny have good security with Eddie Guerrero on the loose.... just ask Austin Pyromania"!

J.R.: "Oh stop that! Folks we will also have an update on Pyromania's condition and then this huge tag team main event........

KURT ANGLE AND HIGH OCTANE ARE SHOWN ON ONE SIDE OF A GRAPHIC AND STRIFE AND SHAWN MICHAELS ARE ON THE OTHER SIDE.

Lawler: "That's gonna be a great match J.R...... the World champ is here"!

THE SHOT FADES TO BLACK.

COMMERCIAL BREAK......

A COMMERCIAL FOR FEDEX IS SHOWN AND THAT IS FOLLOWED BY A COMMERCIAL FOR YJ STINGER.

RETURN FROM BREAK..... BACKSTAGE.....

AS RAW RETURNS, VAL VENIS AND SAM WILDE ARE SHOWN SITTING IN THE CONCESSION AREA.

Val Venis: "Sam look, I know the stripper thing kinda got you upset, but let me tell you the rest of your birthday present".

Sam Wilde: "Do I even wanna know"?

Venis: "Oh yeah.... I got you a shot at the King of Cable title at Evil Intentions"!

Wilde: "What? Really"?

Venis: "Yeah, Stephanie already signed it and everything... so happy birthday man"!

Wilde: "Ya know, that is very thoughtful of you. The lord would appreciate you putting yourself before others".

Venis: "Oooook. Now what about those strippers man? They were hot"!

Wilde: (gets up) "They're just not my thing".

WILDE WALKS AWAY AS VAL CAN ONLY SHAKE HIS HEAD WITH A SMILE.

J.R. AND THE KING ARE SHOWN AT THE ANNOUNCE POSITION ON THE SIDE OF THE ENTRANCE RAMP.

Lawler: "What the heck is wrong with Wilde? I need to become Val Venis' tag team partner"!

J.R.: "Fans on a more serious note, Austin Pyromania was shown after apparently being violently attacked last week in the backstage area and all this after he was named the number one contender for the World title".

Lawler: "Police, stop your search for suspects and go talk to Eddie Guerrero.... he knows what happened"!

J.R.: "Well Eddie Guerrero was subsequently named the number one contender but Pyromania suffered a severe concussion and a stinger in his neck but I was told he will be back here on RAW after doctors give him the okay"!

AN ANNOYING SIREN BLARES AS CYRUS THE VIRUS COMES OUT IN A SUIT AND TIE ALONG AND DARK SHADES ALONG WITH THE REST OF THE NETWORK POLICE, STEVEN RICHARDS AND MR. MATURE.

Lawler: "Close your ears.... it's the FCC"!

J.R.: "Oh it's not the FCC! It's a small group of guys who think they have been made the law here on RAW to return wrestling to it's old traditions"!

IN THE RING, THE CAMERA SHOWS THE M.O.W. TAG TEAM THE BACKWOODS ANIMALS.

Lawler: "Look at these guys".

J.R.: "They are gonna face Junior and Dubba Wyde, a tag team known as the Backwoods Animals in the old M.O.W.".

Lawler: "Those two look like the poster boys for birth control J.R.! Their parents are brother and sister aren't they"?!

J.R.: "Who the hell knows?! I just know that they compiled an impressive win loss record in the M.O.W. and no matter how they look, I'd take them over these other two jerks any day"!

The Network Police w/ Cyrus the Virus vs. The Backwoods Animals (invitees)

Junior started the match off with Steven Richards who was all over him, putting him down with a snap suplex and a big elbow drop. As Richards distracted the referee, Cyrus got in a slap on Junior. Mr. Mature was then tagged in and he toyed with Junior a little before the much bigger but totally out of shape Dubba tagged in. He came at Mature with a clothesline but missed horribly and Mature dropkicked in the knee. Mature then went and took a cheap shot at Junior, knocking him to the floor as Richards came in and he and Mature cracked Dubba with a double superkick they call the "Restriction Kick" and Mature covered him for the victory.

Match Time: 4:32

Lawler: "Now that was impressive J.R."!

J.R.: "Well maybe it was, but let's see them handle John Cena that way after being directly responsible for him not being the King of Cable"!

Lawler: "Now come on J.R., these guys represent the FCC so they did what they had to do and a foul mouthed punk like John Cena shouldn't represent this show on tv each and every week as it's Cable champion"!

J.R.: "I'd like to see you call him a punk to his face... ya know that?! I'd really......

JUST THEN, RICHARDS HELD UP A STEEL CHAIR SO MR. MATURE COULD KICK IT RIGHT IN THE FACE OF JUNIOR.

now what the hell was that"?!

Lawler: "This guy Junior may have a broken nose J.R."!

J.R.: "I just find it funny that they say they don't want any violence around here and what the hell are they doing?!

THE SIREN SOUNDED AGAIN AS CYRUS LED RICHARDS AND OLIVER WORTH UP THE RAMP TO EASILY THE MOST HEAT OF THE NIGHT AND THE MOST IN A LONG TIME ACTUALLY.

They're nothing but a bunch of damn hipocrits.... that's all"!

BACKSTAGE AREA......

JOHNNY BLAZE IS SHOWN IN THE BACKSTAGE AREA, READING A BOOK CALLED "GREAT BLACK MEN" WHEN TEDDY LONG COMES UP.

Teddy Long: "Come on Johnny, Carney's up next, let's give him the bad news".

BLAZE CLOSES THE BOOK, SETS IT DOWN AND STANDS UP.

Johnny Blaze: "Sounds good to me boss".

THEY WALK OUT OF THE PICTURE.

J.R.: "Carney takes on Bradshaw next.... but I don't like the looks of that".

COMMERCIAL BREAK.....

A COMMERCIAL FOR LABATT's BLUE IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY ANOTHER FOR GATORADE FEATURING LL COOL J.

RETURN FROM BREAK.... PARKING LOT.....

AS RAW RETURNS, THE NETWORK POLICE ARE SHOWN STROLLING THROUGH THE PARKING GARAGE.

Cyrus the Virus: "Our work here is done tonight men, the FCC is going to be proud of our work. Meet me at the hotel so we can send the boss his report".

CYRUS GETS INTO A BLACK, COMPACT CAR AND PULLS AWAY.

BACK INSIDE THE ARENA, BRADSHAW's MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT TO SOME VERY LOUD HEAT, PUTTING UP THE TEXAS LONGHORN SIGN WITH HIS FINGERS.

J.R.: "What report"?

Lawler: "Ya know J.R., they have to answer to someone in a higher.....

J.R.: "Will you stop with that FCC crap?! That's as phony as the fact that that guy says his name is Cyrus for god sake"!

Lawler: "Okay then, let's talk about Bradshaw".

J.R.: "I think we're gonna call him mince meat after Evil Intentions because that is all that's gonna be left of him once Strife is through".

"LOOSE" BY EMINEM HITS AND CARNEY COMES OUT TO A GOOD CHEER.

Lawler: "Well that may be J.R., but until then, Strife's gonna obide by the fifty foot rule of Bradshaw's restraining order"!

J.R.: "Well that's the biggest loud of you know what that I've heard in a long timr and I'd just love to see Carney pull the upset here".

Lawler: "I bet you would J.R., but that's.......

JUST THEN, THE MUSIC OF "UNDER A BROTHA SERVICES" PLAYS AND TEDDY LONG COMES OUT WITH JOHNNY BLAZE TO A LOT OF HEAT.

J.R.: "Oh not these fools"!

Teddy Long: "Carney.... lemme holla at ya playa! Now, we don 't wanna keep rubbing it in, but since you declined our offer, you have yet to win another match"!

Johnny Blaze: "And don't expect to see that change tonight either Carney... Bradshaw is gonna.......

J.R.: "Oh look out"!

BRADSHAW TRIED A SNEAK ATTACK FROM BEHIND BUT CARNEY TURNED AND KICKED HIM RIGHT IN THE GUT TO GET THE MATCH STARTED.

Bradshaw vs. Carney

Carney was all over Bradshaw like a man possessed as Bradshaw tried to get out of the chaps he wore to the ring. After a tornado ddt, Carney dropped two legs in the groin area and the crowd was firmly behind him. Bradshaw got up and as Carney hit the ropes and came off, he stuck a foot right in his face. Carney grabbed his nose and checked for bleeding as the big hoss Bradshaw pulled him up and pounded him with some clubs to the back. He then whipped him to the ropes and followed in with a hard clothesline before calling for the "Clothesline from Hell". But Carney countered it with a drop toehold before hitting a jumping facebuster. He rolled him into a pinning predicament and got 1.......2......, but Bradshaw was up. Carney whipped him to the corner and went for a monkey flip but Bradshaw tossed him across the ring. Carney landed on his feet and caught Bradshaw charging in with a spin kick to the head and fell onto him, hooking the leg for the 1.....2......., but that was all. Realizing he had a chance, Carney went to the top rope and waited for Bradshaw to get up. Bradshaw seemed out on his feet but as Carney jumped off, he smashed him with the big "Clothesline from Hell" and hooked the leg for the 1.......2......3.

Match Time: 5:42

J.R.: "Oh my gosh what a shot"!

Lawler: "You wanna retract that mince meat statement J.R."?

J.R.: "No way.... no disrespect, but Carney is not Strife, that won't happen at Evil Intentions".

BRADSHAW WALKED UP THE RAMP WITH HIS ARM IN THE AIR AS TEDDY LONG AND BLAZE JUST LAUGHED.

Lawler: "I don't think it's fair that Stephanie overroad his restraining order for that match J.R.".

J.R.: "King you don't know what fair......

Carney: "Blaze........ Long! I'm tired of this crap.... it has to end! So Johnny, instead of you coming out here with him every week, why don't you get in here yourself and face me at Evil Intentions"?

Lawler: "Oh.... a challenge"!

Carney: "I'll even give ya some time to think it over. And if you take it, I plan to show you two exactly why I said no to your little group"!

CARNEY TOSSED THE MIC TO THE MAT AS "LOOSE" PLAYED AGAIN AND HE JUST STARED AT BLAZE.

J.R.: "Another challenge has been made for Evil Intentions and I like it King, it's about time we see the talking in and see what this Under a Brother service is all about"!

BACKSTAGE.....VAL VENIS IS SHOWN IN THE BACKSTAGE AREA WHEN JOE COREY COMES UP.

Val Venis: "Start shining that belt up Joe, because....

Joe Corey: "Because what? Do you think you've actually done Sam Wilde a favor? I am gonna take his bible reading, preacher's son ass and beat the hell out of him at Evil Intentions. By the time I'm through, you'll be sorry you ever got him in the same ring with me".

COREY WALKS AWAY, LEAVING VENIS BEHIND.

IMAGES ARE SHOWN OF WHAT APPEARS TO BE A JAIL CELL WITH A MAN INSIDE, ROCKING BACK AND FORTH. THE VOICE OF JUSTIN SANE IS HEARD.

Justin Sane: "They all have forgotten..... just how dangerous I can be! Trust me Mom, they have no idea, no idea who they are dealing with! And soon.... soon they will realize what kind of madman they have on their hands".

JUSTIN SANE....... COMING AGAIN TO RAW....... WITH MORE OF A SCREW LOOSE........

BACK TO LIVE ACTION, ROB STORM's MUSIC IS PLAYING AND HE IS IN THE RING WAVING THE CANADIAN FLAG AS JIMMY HART AND SYLVAN GRENIER ARE WITH HIM.

J.R.: "Jimmy Hart and his new tandem of Rob Storm and Sylvan Grenier are awaiting a sure to be steaming former King of Cable".

JUST THEN, "BASIC THUGANOMICS" HITS AND THE CROWD GOES ABSOLUTELY NUTS AS HE COMES OUT THROWING UP THE "WORD LIFE" SIGN WITH HIS HANDS WHILE SPORTING A THROWBACK NEW YORK GIANTS JERSEY WITH FRANK GIFFORD's NAME ON IT.

Lawler: "Well they don't have to wait too much longer"!

John Cena: "Yo, yo, yo, kill that beat. Mr. Canada, I'm glad you brought your boyfriend cause tonight, the doctor is gonna be an eleven on a scale of one to ten! As far as I'm concerned, you punks work for the FCC too. And tonight in Albany, I'm gonna break ya down with an F-U. So don't worry, this won't take long, then I'll shift my focus back to Richards and Mature and if you chumps think I'm down for good.... you're dead wrong! So Network Police, I'm puttin' out the challenge, one of you against the Doctor at Evil Intentions! One on one and afterwards, if you need directions, (he points to his crotch) send Cyrus down here and ya'll can see his real profession"!

Lawler: "He can't say that! Where are the Network Police when you need 'em"?!

J.R.: "Well he just said it King and threw a challenge in there to boot"!

Lawler: "Well Rob Storm is ready, I hope John Cena hasn't used all his energy on that stupid rap"!

Rob Storm w/ Jimmy Hart and Sylvan Grenier vs. John Cena

Storm came at Cena and stomped away as he slid into the ring before smashing him with some hard knifedge chops. After a snap suplex, Storm yelled "Oh Canada"! which drew a ton of boos. But when he turned around, Cena was waiting with some straight right hands before whipping him to the ropes for a flying shoulder tackle. After a scoop slam, Cena landed the 5 Knuckle Shuffle and Grenier got on the apron with the flag in hand. But Cena thwarted any interference attempt by knocking him off the apron and into the barricade. Hart tried to yell at Storm through his megaphone to watch out but it didn't help Storm who was felled by the "F-U" and covered for the victory.

Match Time: 4:20

"BASIC THUGANOMICS" HIT AND THE CROWD LOUDLY POPPED AS CENA GOT ON THE TURNBUCKLE TO CELEBRATE.

J.R.: "Rob Storm ran into the wrong man tonight King and John Cena is on a mission.... a mission against the Network Police"!

Lawler: "Well he may be, but it's on man fighting the entire FCC.... Cena doesn't stand a chance"!

COMMERCIAL BREAK.......

A COMMERCIAL FOR DR. PEPPER IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY ONE TO PROMOTE THE NBA PLAYOFFS FEATURING THE BLACK EYED PEAS.

RETURN FROM BREAK.... BACKSTAGE.....

AS RAW RETURNS, EDDIE AND CHAVO GUERRERO ARE SHOWN IN THE BACKSTAGE AREA IN A HEATED ARGUMENT.

Eddie Guerrero: "What do you mean man"?!

Chavo Guerrero: "I mean, that it's gonna be tough for me to concentrate on this title match tonight knowing what you did just to get yourself a World title shot"!

Eddie: "Jesus Christ Chavo! What do I have to do to prove that I didn't do anything to Pyromania.... it's just a coincidence man"!

Chavo: "I don't know Eddie, I know you too well, and it's not like you wouldn't have done it in the past! I'll see ya out there... just leave the car back here tonight".

CHAVO WALKS AWAY AS THE SHOT SWITCHES BACK TO RINGSIDE WHERE CHRISTOPHER NOWINSKI AND THE GENIUS ARE IN THE RING WITH THE SET FOR "EXTRA CREDIT".

Lawler: "That doesn't bode well for the champs J.R.".

J.R.: "No it certainly doesn't but for the record, I believe Eddie Guerrero".

Lawler: "Well for the record.... I don't"!

Christopher Nowinski: "Recently, I have been helping to chance the careers of several superstars by co-authoring, along with The Genius here, this book.... Intelligence Breeds a Winner!

THE FANS BOO IN UNISON.

Ya see, this book outlines the fine aspects of this sport and puts in easy to understand words that it doesn't matter how big you are or how strong you are. Wrestling is all in here".

NOWINSKI POINTS TO HIS HEAD.

Lawler: "This is good stuff".

Nowinski: "Now, several superstars have taken me up on my offer by others have yet to request a copy. Tonight, we are gonna study an individual who could do a world of good for himself by taking a few hours, well in his case probably a few months, big words ya know, to read this book".

A PICTURE OF SHELTON BENJAMIN IS DISPLAYED ON THE TWF TRON.

J.R.: "Oh for God sake".

Nowinski: "That's right, Shelton Benjamin!

THE FANS BOO IN DISAGREEMENT

Ya see Shelton, you were supposed to be some big prospect when the TWF signed you out of college all those years ago. But to be honest, you've been nothing but a bust"!

J.R.: "Oh he has not"!

Lawler: "Shhhh, listen J.R.".

Nowinski: "Now Shelton, I know you think you're big stuff cause you graduated from the University of Minnesota. But trust me pal, that is a far cry from Harvard. So you might do yourself some good to listen to what I have to say in this book.

HE HOLDS THE BOOK UP RIGHT AS BENJAMIN's MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT TO A BIG POP.

J.R.: "Oh business is about to pick up.... Shelton has heard enough of this garbage"!

SHELTON BENJAMIN CHARGED THE RING BUT NOWINSKI AND THE GENIUS SHIELDED THEMSELVES WITH THE PROP TEACHER's DESK LONG ENOUGH FOR GOLDUST TO COME OUT AND ATTACK FROM BEHIND.

Lawler: "There we go".

J.R.: "What the hell is this? It's three on one"!

AFTER A THOROUGH BEATING, GOLDUST PUT SHELTON ON THE RING ROPES, LEGS OPEN AND GOT A RUNNING START, KICKING HIM RIGHT IN THE GROIN WITH THE SHATTERED DREAMS.

Lawler: "Oh my gosh! He'll be singing a little higher in the shower tonight"!

NOWINSKI's MUSIC HIT AND HE LEFT WITH THE GENIUS AND GOLDUST, HOLDING UP HIS BOOK.

J.R.: "I'll be damned! This weird threesome of Nowinski, The Genius and Goldust seems to be getting more and more vicious all the time King, especially since this damn book came out"!

Lawler: "Hey J.R., don't knock it till you've read it".

THE FAMILIAR WHITE HOODED FIGURE IS SHOWN AGAIN, STANDING IN FRONT OF A ROW OF LIT CANDLES AS A SHADOW SHOWS SOME SORT OF WEIRD SYMBOL OR WEAPON. HE REMOVES HIS HOOD, SHOWING HIS WHITE HAIR AS HIS VOICE BEGINS TO SPEAK.

"They say my day is coming soon..... I say, an awakening is about to take full effect. A rising, an embodiment of wrath. Those of you who can hear me are in direct danger....... HEAR ME....... FEAR ME!

MORDECAI..... COMING NEXT WEEK TO RAW!

BACK TO THE ACTION, THE BASHAM's ARE SHOWN COMING OUT TO A LOT OF HEAT AS THEIR MUSIC PLAYS.

Lawler: "That guy gives me the creeps already J.R. and he's gonna be here next week"?

J.R.: "He sure is but we still have plenty to get to tonight as the challengers make their way out in this RAW tag team title match"!

"VIVA LA RAZA" HITS AND EDDIE GUERRERO COMES OUT, LOOKING BACK WITH HIS TAG TEAM BELT IN HIS HAND.

Lawler: "Uh oh, there's only one".

AFTER EDDIE IS HALFWAY TO THE RING, CHAVO COMES OUT.

J.R.: "There's Chavo. I tell ya King, The Basham's are a tough team on a good night. I can't imagine the Guerreros having a good night with their current demeanors"!

Lawler: "Well I see Chavo's point, he feels like Eddie has put Austin Pyromania on the shelf in order to get that World title shot at Evil Intentions. Come on J.R., it makes sense"!

J.R.: "But Chavo has gotta consider the fact that Eddie is his family and he says he didn't do it... doesn't that mean anything"?!

Lawler: "Not when you have the track record Eddie Guerrero does".

J.R.: "Well in any event, Los Guerreros will be defending the tag team titles that they won at the Royal Rumble against a team that has been hot on their trail of late"!

RAW Tag Team Title Match......

Challengers.... The Basham Brothers vs. Los Guerreros

As the bell sounded, Eddie and Chavo had a bit of an argument about who would start the match and Chavo just went in. Danny Basham whipped him to the mat with an armdrag but Chavo got up and used a go behind into a nice side headlock. Danny pushed him into the ropes and dropped to the mat. Chavo hopped over him and Eddie slapped his shoulder to tag himself in. Eddie and Chavo then hit a double hip toss which started a chain of great moves by the champ. Finally an eye gouge allowed Danny to tag in his brother Doug who was very fierce in his attack on Eddie. But off an irish whip, he put his head down too soon and Eddie hit his vertical suplex series. Eddie then slapped his chest and screamed "Viva la Raza" which got the crowd really hyped up. Danny tried to come from behind and referee Jose Mendez began to lose control as Eddie went up to the top rope when Kurt Angle came out and grabbed Eddie's foot. Eddie shrugged Angle off and jumped off with a missile dropkick but Doug Basham moved and Eddie nailed Chavo right in the head. Chavo feel to the mat and Eddie stood over him, trying to help him up when The Basham's came from behind, each grabbing a leg and lifting Eddie into the air and dropping him with a reverse double flapjack. Danny immediately covered him as Mendez counted the 1.......2.......3.

Match Time: 6:35

Lawler: "New champs J.R., new champs"!

J.R.: "With interference from Angle and the fact that Doug, not Danny was the legal man but hey, it's okay right"?!

THE BASHAM's LEFT TO A LOT OF BOOS HOLDING UP THEIR NEWLY WON TITLES AS CHAVO PUSHED EDDIE AWAY IN THE RING.

Lawler: "Things are really breaking down in the Guerrero family J.R.".

J.R.: "This has gone from bad to worse for the Guerreros and this can't help Eddie heading into his World title match at Evil Intentions"!

EDDIE TRIED TO TALK TO CHAVO WHO JUST LEFT THE RING, GETTING SOME BOOS AS WELL AS EDDIE WENT TO HIS KNEES, TUGGING AT HIS OWN HAIR AND THE SHOT FADED OUT.

COMMERCIAL BREAK........

A COMMERCIAL FOR HOME THE U.S. MARINE CORP IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY A PREVIEW FOR THE NEW HARRY POTTER MOVIE.

RETURN FROM BREAK.....

RAW COMES BACK WITH A SHOT OF THE DARK ALBANY NIGHT FROM THE OUTSIDE OF THE PEPSI ARENA. THE LIGHTED SIGN IN FRONT SAYS "TWF RAW... TONIGHT.... LIVE".

BACK INSIDE THE ARENA, CRYSTAL CARMICHAEL, WEARING A TIGHT, SKIMPY OUTFIT, IS IN THE RING WITH JAMAL AND ROSEY.

J.R.: "During the break this threesome came to the ring and what a threesome they are King".

Lawler: "Well, two of them aren't much to look at".

Crystal Carmichael: "We were told we had to come out here because you people might want some answers. Answers as to why I came here to RAW to manage these two. Well, at one point, all three of us were stagnating on PrimeTime, totally lost in the shuffle. But not on RAW. No, we're not gonna let that happen again. So we are gonna do everything in our power so that the big boys callin' the shots don't forget about us"!

Lawler: "Here comes Palumbo and Stasiak"!

CHUCK PALUMBO AND SHAWN STASIAK ENTER THE RING AND TAKE IT TO A SURPRISED JAMAL AND ROSEY.

J.R.: "Here's a couple of guys who haven't forgotten about them!

BUT BEFORE MUCH LONGER, RODNEY MACK COMES OUT AND GETS INTO THE RING WITH A STEEL CHAIR, HITTING BOTH PALUMBO AND STASIAK IN THE BACK WITH IT.

J.R.: "What the hell is he doing out here"?!

Lawler: "That's Rodney Mack J.R., the guy RAW got in the Chris Benoit trade"!

J.R.: "I know who the hell he is and I think we all just figured out who the masked man was that attacked Palumbo and Stasiak a couple of weeks ago"!

"3 MINUTES" BY 2 SKINNY J's HITS AS JAMAL, ROSEY, CRYSTAL AND RODNEY MACK LEAVE TO A LOT OF HEAT.

Lawlers: "They sure didn't make any friends.... listen to this crowd".

J.R.: "No, but they're focus isn't to make friends, it's to stay in the picture here on RAW and after that, I don't see them being out of it for some time to come".

JUST THEN, THE EVIL INTENTIONS LOGO IS SHOWN AND IT's THEME MUSIC BEGINS PLAYING.

Lawler: "Well J.R., the card for Evil Intentions has really taken shape tonight"!

PROMO GRAPHICS ARE SHOWN FOR ALL THE MATCHES STARTING WITH JOHN CENA STANDING NEXT TO A SHADOW WITH A QUESTION MARK IN IT.

J.R.: "The challenge has been laid down by the Doctor of Thuganomics to one member of the Network Police.... will they accept"?

Lawler: "Here's one I wanna see! It's the in ring debut of Johnny Blaze"!

J.R.: "Will Carney break out of his slump or continue his free fall?

And then, Bradshaw takes on Strife! Restraining orders will be thrown out the window and maybe everything else in this one"!

Lawler: "And Sam Wilde meets Joe Corey for the King of Cable title. What a generous guy Val Venis is".

J.R.: "Well, according to Corey, it's gonna turn out to be a huge mistake! Then in one of our blockbuster matches, Kurt Angle defends the World title against Eddie Guerrero"!

Lawler: "A lot of controversy surrounding that one J.R. but I like Angle either way and what about this one? Taylor Made and Desire will take on Billy Gunn and Victoria"!

J.R.: "Victoria's Women's title will not be on the line but her self worth will be. Should she and Billy Gunn lose, she must spend twenty four hours with Taylor Made..... ick"!

Lawler: "And then in the battle of one time best friends, High Octane meets Shawn Michaels"!

AN ENGINE LOUDLY REVS, LEADING HIGH OCTANE TO THE RING AS "DOWN WITH THE SICKNESS" PLAYS.

J.R.: "Can High Octane do what he hasn't been able to yet, out do the Heartbreak Kid"?

Lawler: "Well he could do a lot to start it tonight J.R."!

KURT ANGLE's MUSIC HITS, IGNITING HIS PYRO AS HE COMES OUT WITH THE WORLD TITLE AROUND HIS WAIST.

J.R.: "I wish we could say this was Kurt Angle's first trip out here tonight but unfortunately, he is directly responsible for Los Guerreros no longer being the RAW Tag team champions"!

Lawler: "Oh come on J.R.! They were their own worst enemies tonight"!

J.R.: "Maybe they were, but Angle still had no right to be out here"!

"SEXY BOY" HITS AND SHAWN MICHAELS COMES OUT TO AN INSPIRATIONAL CHEER. HALFWAY OUT, HE KNEELS DOWN ON THE RAMP IN PRAYER AS FIREWORKS POUND OFF BEHIND HIM.

J.R.: "Shawn Michaels is the one who gave High Octane the standard of becoming the next HBK but it has driven a wedge into what was once a great friendship and to be honest King, High Octane's attitude has done a total 360"!

Lawler: "A 360 that has got him in the World title picture! Imagine what a win over Michaels would do for him".

"GET OFF MY TRACKS" BY P.O.D. HITS AND STRIFE SLOWLY WALKS OUT IN HIS TRENCH COAT AND SHADES TO AN UNBELIEVABLE POP.

J.R.:" It would be huge, no doubt about that! But I feel he lacks the focus to get the job done and Bradshaw lacks the courage to face this man eye to eye but at Evil Intentions, he's not gonna have a choice"!

Lawler: "Did you miss Bradshaw's match earlier J.R.? Cause he looked pretty good to me".

J.R.: "Yeah, as long as he's protected by that restraining order, he will be fine. But at Evil Intentions, it's null and void"!

Lawler: "It's a protective measure J.R., that's all".

Kurt Angle and "High Octane" Damion West vs. Shawn Michaels and Strife

Right before the match started, the lights went out and a blue haze filled the arena and a bell tolled as much of the crowd began to scream.

Lawler: "What the hell"?

J.R.: "What..... is that"?

THE BELL TOLLED AGAIN BEFORE THE LIGHTS CAME BACK ON.

Angle seemed startled and Strife took advantage of this, opening up on him with some hard rights that knocked him into the corner. He then hit the ropes and slammed into the champ with a clothesline before making the tag to Michaels. Michaels came in and worked on the right arm on Angle, taking him into an arm wringer. Angle somersauled out of it and threw a clothesline but Michaels ducked and jabbed him a couple ti mes before demanding High Octane get in the ring. Octane made the tag and it was on. The two went at it like caged animals, trading some heavy shots before Octane poked him in the eye. Octane then ran Michaels' eye on the top rope before taking a cheap at Strife. Strife tried to get in which gave Angle and West a chance for a quick double team. Angle remained in the ring, holding Michaels in a front face lock. Michaels was in a lot of trouble but behind the crowd, he started to get up. Somehow, he worked his way up to a vertical base and took a page out of Angle's book with a release northern lights suplex. Michaels then dove and tagged in Strife who was all over both men. After clotheslining West, he went for a running boot on Angle but Angle used a drop toehold into the ankle lock. But Strife had it scouted and he rolled to his left side, using his foot to push Angle off. But after catching Strife with a belly to belly suplex, Angle tagged in West. Moments later, while Michaels and Angle exchanged shots on the apron, Bradshaw came out and used a hangman over the top rope on Strife and West then hit the "Head on Collision", hooking the leg for the 1........2.......3.

Match Time: 7:41

J.R.: "What about the damn restraining order?! It seems that once someone is not looking, Bradshaw all the sudden has tons of bravery"!

Lawler: "That was great J.R.! I guess he feels safe now"!

STRIFE WAS SHOWN STARING AT BRADSHAW WHO WAS AT THE TOP OF THE RAMP SMILING AS THE CROWD BOOED.

J.R.: "Safe my ass! Just wait Bradshaw, your day is coming... sooner than you think"!
