June 21, 2004
The TWF returned to Dayton for the first time since the last RAW before MeltDown last Summer and the fans at Hara arena were rowdy, to say the least. There were 3 terrific matchups on Uprising to get things underway on the show before the show. Frankie Kazarian vs. Christopher Nowinski w/ The Genius This was a terrific match to start the night as these two met for the first time. Nowinski was able to get Kazarian to the mat but Kazarian escaped his holds and drilled him with a flying back kick. He then pounded away on Nowinski before hitting some of the big spots he's known for. But after a whip to the corner, Nowinski moved as Kazarian charged in and he posted his shoulder. He then stumbled right into the "Honor Roll" and was pinned by the Harvard grad. Jazz vs. Jessica Lopez Two women we haven't seen inside the ring for awhile went at it hear. Lopez has always taken on Jazz well and tonight was no different. Jazz worked on Lopez' lower back early on, looking to set up the STF but off an irish whip, Lopez grabbed her around the head and swung her into a DDT. She then went to the top rope and hit her flying hurracanrana when Jazz got up and topped her for the win. Carney vs. Taylor Made w/ Terri and Desire Two of RAW's brightest young stars locked up here and it was all Carney for much of the match as he hit a flying calf kick in the corner on Taylor followed by the "C-Bomb". But when he covered him, Terri put Taylor's foot on the bottom rope just in time to prevent the 3 count. Carney went and grabbed Terri by the hair over the top rope and Desire tried to help her out but the referee would not allow it. But from behind came Taylor with a shot downstairs followed by the "Customizer" and he hooked both legs for the win. "LIKE A PIMP" BY DA BAND PLAYED AS AN EXHAUSTED TAYLOR LEFT WITH AN ARM AROUND EACH OF HIS WOMEN AND THE SHOT FADED OUT. RAW GOES LIVE
AS RAW COMES ON THE AIR, THE NETWORK POLICE ARE SHOWN SITTING IN THEIR DRESSING ROOM. Cyrus the Virus: "Hello everyone and welcome to TWF RAW. Tonight, we can assure you that you will not see hardcore wrestling or women in skimpy clothes". Mr. Mature: "Just wrestling..... the way it's supposed to be". RAW's MONTAGE VIDEO IS NEXT WITH "ACROSS THE NATION" PLAYING AND THE ARENA IS SHOWN, ROCKING WITH THOUSANDS OF FANS AND PYRO. Jim Ross: "We are live from Dayton, Ohio and we have a big night ahead on TWF RAW"! A PROMO GRAPHIC POPS UP WITH EDDIE GUERRERO ON ONE SIDE AND HIGH OCTANE ON THE OTHER. Jerry Lawler: "No doubt about that J.R., look at tonight's main event"! J.R.: "High Octane is gonna go one on one with the man who became number one contender last week, Eddie Guerrero"! THE BASHAM BROTHERS ARE SHOWN IN THE RING WHEN SHELTON BENJAMIN's MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT TO A GOOD POP. Lawler: "And we're getting started already J.R."! J.R.: "Getting started with one of the upcoming superstars here on RAW, former University of Minnesota standout wrestler Shelton Benjamin"! Lawler: "I like to call jhim the five minute man myself"! J.R.: "You find that funny huh? Well there's not gonna be a clock stopping Shelton tonight as he faces one half of the former tag team champions in Doug Basham"! Shelton Benjamin vs. Doug Basham w/ Danny Basham RAW got off to a physical start as these two men began the match trading right hands. After catching Benjamin with a knee to the gut, Basham hit a nice double underhook suplex followed by a big elbow drop but only was able to get a 1 count. He then went for an irish whip but Shelton reversed it and lifted him high into the air with a backbody drop followed by a hard clothesline. Benjamin yelled for him to get up and when he did, he whipped him to the corner and flew in with a flying body splash. Noticing his partner was in trouble, Danny Basham got on the apron but was given a hard right hand that knocked him to the floor. He then threw a kick at Doug who caught his foot and then Shelton went for the Dragon Whip but Doug ducked and pushed him to the mat. He then hit an inverted atomic drop before laying him over the top rope and pulling referee Chad Patton back as Danny got back up and pulled his head and neck down on the top rope. Danny then turned Shelton around setting him up for his charging brother but Shelton moved out of the way and the Bashams collided. Danny fell to the floor a second time as Doug stumbled right into the clutches of Benjamin who hit his overhead t-bone suplex and hooked the leg as Patton got down to count the 1.......2.........3. Match Time: 6:49 J.R.: "Chalk another one up for Benjamin! This turned into a glorified handicap match King"! Lawler: "Yeah, yeah, yeah, we all know you like the guy J.R." SHELTON BENJAMIN's MUSIC PLAYED AND HE LEFT TO A GOOD CHEER AS THE BASHAM's TRIED TO HELP ONE ANOTHER UP. J.R.: "You're damn right I like him! He's worked hard to get where he is and I wanna see him realize his full potential one day"! BACKSTAGE AREA..... IN THE BACKSTAGE AREA, VICTORIA IS WALKING WITH HER WOMAN's TITLE AND IS ABOUT TO ENTER HER PERSONAL DRESSING ROOM BUT SHE IS SURPRISED FROM BEHIND BY GOLDUST. Goldust: "Oh Victoria, don't be startled my dear..... I just had to come and...... Victoria: "Ya know what, I don't have time for this right now. VICTORIA TRIES TO OPEN HER DOOR WHEN GOLDUST GRABS HER ARM. Hey"! JUST THEN, BILLY GUNN COMES UP. Billy Gunn: "You take your hands off her! A SURPRISED GOLDUST BACKS OFF AND LEAVES THE AREA. You okay"? Victoria: "Yeah, yeah I'm fine". Gunn: "You need me to stay hear and make sure these guys leave you alone"? Victoria: "These guys? What guys"? Gunn: "Well let's see you got this jerk and..... Victoria: "Ya know Billy, I appreciate the concern but to be honest, I don't need the help. I can take care of myself". VICTORIA ENTERS HER DRESSING ROOM AND CLOSES THE DOOR IN BILLY's FACE AS THE SHOT FADES OUT. COMMERCIAL BREAK...... A COMMERCIAL FOR TWF FIGURES BY "RC" IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY A PROGRAMMING AD FOR "HORSEPOWER TV". RETURN FROM BREAK..... BACKSTAGE.... AUSTIN PYROMANIA AND JOHN CENA ARE SHOWN IN THE BACK. John Cena: "Is Stacy here tonight man"? Austin Pyromania: "Yeah John, as a matter of fact she is. But is there any way we can start thinking about something else, like who the hell attacked me a few weeks back? I want this investigation to intensify man, so rather than roll over for this guy, I want him to see that I ain't scared of no man". John Cena: "I'm with ya on that". Pyromania: "Good.... cause I got us a match tonight against Jamal and Rosey". Cena: "Them dudes that weigh like two tons combined"? Pyromania: "Don't worry about it, we can take 'em". Cena: "Whatever you say bro". THE SHOT GOES BACK TO RINGSIDE AND VAL VENIS' MUSIC HITS, BRINGING HIM OUT TO A GOOD CHEER. Lawler: "With all due respect to Pyromania J.R., how can you think about anything other than Stacy"?! J.R.: "Pyromania is going to become the hunter rather than the huntee in this situation with whoever attacked him and I respect that". "IF I COULD BE LIKE MACK" HITS AND THE CROWD STARTS TO FILL THE ARENA WITH BOOS AS RODNEY MACK COMES OUT, LED BY CRYSTAL CARMICHAEL. Lawler: "There he is.... it's Michael Jordan"! J.R.: "Yeah, sure it is. Rodney Mack has proclaimed himself the Michael Jordan of wrestling but I don't know how many people are buying that". Lawler: "Come on J.R., this man is a talented athlete"! J.R.: "I'm not gonna take anything away from him. He was trained by the Junkyard Dog who was a legend in this business so he's capable of going very high, as long as he doesn't get a big head"! Lawler: "Well he's in their with a former TWF champion tonight and he's got the vivacious Crystal Carmichael out here..... wow"! Val Venis vs. Rodney Mack w/ Crystal Carmichael As the bell sounded, Venis quickly found out that he was not as strong as Mack, being tossed into the corner. But Val avoided a wild swing and came back with some hard right hands followed by a backbody drop off an irish whip that began to bring the crowd to life. Val then hit the ropes, looking for a kneedrop but Mack rolled out of the way and then used the old Junkyard Dog headbutt. Mack then shot him to the corner and charged in with a clothesline but then he became very overconfident and started toying with Venis. He went for the "Mack Attack" but Val countered it into a backdrop and hit the ropes but Mack recovered with a hard football style tackle. He then pulled Val up and delivered a belly to belly suplex and covered him as referee Jack Doan made the count but before he could reach 3, Mack pulled him up. This turned out to be a costly mistake as moments later, he whipped Venis to the corner and charged in but found nobody home. Val then connected with his blue thunder bomb before going to the top rope. Crystal tried to intervene but Doan did a good job preventing it as Val came off with the "Money Shot", landing it perfectly to get the 1...2........3. Match Time: 6:01 J.R.: "And that does it! A huge win for Val Venis"! Lawler: "What happened? Rodney Mack had this won"! VENIS LEFT TO HIS MUSIC AND A LOUD CHEER AS MACK SEEMED VERY UPSET IN THE RING. J.R.: "Had being the operative word King! Gee, I don't remember Michael Jordan not putting his opponents away when he had them beat"! BACKSTAGE..... STEPHANIE McMAHON's OFFICE.... STEPHANIE IS AT HER DESK WHEN JOE COREY AND ALEXIS LAREE ENTER. COREY HAS THE KING OF CABLE TITLE OVER HIS SHOULDER. Stephanie McMahon: "Something I can help you with"? Joe Corey: "Yeah Steph, there is. When I arrived here in Ohio at the airport, all I heard was when does Shelton Benjamin get a title shot and my five minute challenge wasn't fair. Well fact is Steph, I could give a crap what these people think, but I won't allow Shelton Benjamin to show me up. So I want to face the other Basham, Danny in a match tonight". Stephanie: "Okay, I'll make that match, providing one thing". Corey: "I'm listening". Stephanie: (standing up) "You put the King of Cable title on the line"! COREY IS OBVIOUSLY FLUSTERED, LOOKING IN ALL DIRECTIONS. Corey: "Fine"! INSIDE THE RING IS GAIL KIM AND HER MUSIC IS PLAYING. WHEN IT STOPS, LA RESISTANCE's MUSIC HITS AND THEY COME OUT TOTING THE RAW TAG TEAM TITLES WITH JIMMY HART IN FRONT OF THEM. Lawler: "We've got a title match tonight J.R."! J.R.: "Joe Corey has been a tough champion with that King of Cable title but it didn't seem like he wanted to defend it tonight. And speaking of champions, here are the brand new RAW tag team champs"! "LOVEFURYPASSIONENERGY" BY BOY HITS CAR IS PLAYED AND LITA TROTS OUT TO A HUGE POP. Lawler: "The fans went nuts in Sasketchewan last week when these two won the titles but they weren't as well received in Dayton tonight"! J.R.: "Not nearly as well as Lita, who remains one of the most popular superstars here on RAW! CHUCK PALUMBO AND SHAWN STASIAK's MUSIC HITS AND THEY COME OUT TO A GOOD POP. We are set for an intergender six person tag here and the dangerous element in this match is the fact that the men can compete against the women"! Lawler: "Well I wouldn't mind rollin' around on the mat with either Lita or Gail"! J.R.: "I'm sure not". 6 Person Intergender tag team match Lita, Chuck Palumbo and Shawn Stasiak vs. Gail Kim and La Resistance w/ Jimmy Hart The women elected to start this match off and it was a competitive matchup until Gail slapped Lita across the face. Lita got up and tackled her and began wailing away when Rob Storm came in and pulled her off. This drew in both Palumbo and Stasiak and Sylvan Grenier followed. With all 6 superstars going at it, referee Jose Mendez had his hands full. But the rookie referee showed a lot of poise moments later, using his authority to get the illegal men out of the ring. After a european hip toss, Lita tagged in Palumbo and he went after Gail but she crawled away on her knees and tagged in Storm. Storm and Palumbo exchanged right hands but Palumbo had a lot more behind his, knocking Storm into the corner. After several kicks to the gut, he knocked Grenier off the match with a discus punch before tagging in Stasiak and off an irish whip, they used a double hip toss slam on Storm. Stasiak followed up with a delay vertical suplex and then went to the corner but Grenier got up off the floor and tripped him up. Stasiak got up and took a swipe at Grenier but Storm came from behind with a dropkick to the back. He then went and pulled Lita in by her hair and Palumbo had seen enough, coming into the ring and Mendez was losing control again. Lita hit the ropes and caught Storm with a flying headscissor and pointed at him as he went down but Grenier came in with a clothesline to the back of Lita's head! Stasiak got up and tossed Grenier out of the ring as Palumbo followed. Palumbo and Grenier brawled outside the ring with Jimmy Hart close by as Stasiak and Storm, the legal men, went at it inside. But off an irish whip, Stasiak ducked a clothesline and both men were thinking of the same thing, going for a cross body block and colliding in mid air. Both men seemed to have had the wind knocked out of them but they each made it to their corners, tagging in the females. Gail was beaten to the punch by Lita who was rolling and hit a snap DDT. She went into the cover but Hart had the referee's attention after trying to throw his megaphone into the ring. But Storm and Grenier both came into the ring and delivered a double spinebuster slam on Lita and Gail rolled onto her as Hart jumped off the apron and Mendez turned to make the 3 count. Match Time: 6:25 J.R.: "Oh come on! The RAW team champs just went shopping at the bargain basement"! Lawler: "You said it yourself J.R., the men could compete with the women"! THE ALL CANADIAN TEAM, LA RESISTANCE AND GAIL KIM LEFT WITH JIMMY HART AND BIG SMILES ON THEIR FACES AS THE CROWD LOUDLY BOOED. J.R.: "Yeah, legally compete with them! That was a double team by two men on a women.... I hope that makes them proud"! BACKSTAGE...... STACY KIEBLER AND ALEX MIRAN ARE SHOWN TALKING BACKSTAGE AS THEY STROLL DOWN THE HALL WHEN THEY CAME UP TO STACY's ONE TIME FLING CARNEY, WHO WAS ON A CELL PHONE. Stacy Kiebler: "Oh here we go". Carney: "Uh, let me call you back". HE HANGS UP. Stacy: "Hey there Carney". Carney: "Hey Stace". Stacy: "Just so there's no hard feelings about our past, I wanted to call a truce". SHE EXTENDS HER HAND AND CARNEY ACCEPTS IT. Carney: "Okay, no hard feelings". Stacy: "So..... was that your girlfriend you were talking to"? Carney: "No, no girlfriend's right now". STACY SMILES Stacy: "Well, it just so happens that my friend here Alex is single too. So I'll let you guys talk". STACY LEAVES WITH A BIG SMILE ON HER FACE AS CARNEY INTRODUCES HIMSELF TO ALEX IN AN AWKWARD SITUATION. Lawler: "What a lucky guy". THE SHOT THEN FADES OUT. COMMERCIAL BREAK...... A PREVIEW FOR SPIDERMAN 2 STARRING TOBEY McGUIRE IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY A COMMERCIAL FOR EAGLE ONE CAR WAX AND ONE FOR THE NEW COKE C2. RETURN FROM BREAK.... BACKSTAGE.... RIGHT AS RAW RETURNS, JOHN CENA IS SHOWN IN THE BACK IN A CAMOFLAUGE HAT AND SHIRT WHEN HIGH OCTANE COMES UP. High Octane: "Hey, hey, don't get all defensive Cena, that's not what I came here for". John Cena: "What do you want"? High Octane: "From you.... nothing. But I thought I'd stop by and tell you that I'm almost positive I know who attacked Pyromania". Cena: "Who is it?! You better open up"! High Octane: "Relax. Think about it, who has been running around here making all these deranged attacks the last few weeks? Justin Sane...... he's your attacker". HIGH OCTANE WALKS AWAY AS CENA ACTS AS IF HE's ON TO SOMETHING. BACK INSIDE THE ARENA, "ALL GROWN UP" IS PLAYING AND STEPHANIE McMAHON IS IN THE RING. Lawler: "Think about that J.R. High Octane may've just solved the mystery"! J.R.: "Well I'd hate to think that but you never know..... it could be anyone"! Lawler: "It's not you is it"? Stephanie McMahon: "Last week on RAW, one of our longtime superstars made what some call a shocking revelation. And ever since, I have heard nothing but bad talk and discriminatory remarks made. So right now, acting in his defense, I would like to call Sam Wilde to the ring"! SAM WILDE's MUSIC BY THE PHILADELPHIA BOYS' CHOIR IS HEARD AND HE COMES OUT TO A MIXED RESPONSE BUT SEVERAL SIGNS OF SUPPORT ARE SHOWN IN THE CROWD. Lawler: "Well I still don't know what to make of this J.R.". J.R.: "I think it needs to be dissolved like any other issue. If a big deal is made out of it.... that's gotta be exactly what Sam Wilde doesn't want". Stephanie: "Thanks for coming out here Sam. First off, I just wanted to say that I think you're very brave for admitting what you did last week and I am ready to reprimand anyone in the back who mistreats you because of what you said". Sam Wilde: "Well thank you Stephanie, it's sure not....... JUST THEN, THE MUSIC OF MORDECAI HITS AND HE COMES OUT IN HIS WHITE ROBE, CARRYING HIS UNUSUAL WEAPON. Lawler: "What the heck"?! J.R.: "Well here comes the pale rider and I hope he's not out here to cause problems". Lawler: "This Mordecai is demented J.R., God only knows what he's out here for"! MORDECAI GETS INTO THE RING AND REMOVES HIS ROBE AS WILDE LOOKS ON. Stephanie: "Mordecai! I'm warning you"! JUST THEN, MORDECAI CHARGES AND RUNS WILDE OVER WITH A CLOTHESLINE. HE FOLLOWS THAT UP WITH A CHICKEN WING STYLE JAWBREAKER BEFORE JUST LOOKING UP TOWARD THE SKY WITH A SICK GRIN ON HIS FACE. J.R.: "Now come on! There's no call for that"!. Lawler: "Look at him taking a look up J.R.! I think he's chosen Sam Wilde as his first sinner"! J.R.: "I don't think he heard a word that our owner just said! This is one dangerous individual folks and I don't see who can stop him"! PARKING LOT...... CAMERAS CATCH UP TO CHRISTIAN AND BRADSHAW. BRADSHAW IS IN A SUIT AND TIE AND LOOKS LIKE HE's LEAVING THE ARENA. Bradshaw: "So like I said, teach Shawn Michaels a lesson like the one I gave to Nemesis last week. Now I gotta run to this financial advisement, but I'll catch up with you later. And Christian, you're a good man, just remember that". Christian: "Oh I will. And Shawn Michaels.... well he'll fight out first hand how good I am". THE TWO MEN LAUGH AS THE SHOT GOES BACK INSIDE. BACK INSIDE THE ARENA, THE SIRENS OF THE NETWORK POLICE ARE BLARING AND THEY ARE IN THE RING AS AN ENTIRE GROUP. J.R.: "Well I don't like the sound of that and Shawn Michaels is here tonight". Lawler: "Well if you heard right, he's got a lesson coming to him"! "STAND BACK..... THERE's A HURRICANE COMIN' THROUGH" IS HEARD AND THE MUSIC OF THE DYNAMIC DUO PLAYS, LEADING THEM OUT TO A ROARING CHEER. J.R.: "We've got tag team action coming at ya right now and I just hope these two can shut the mouths of this Network Police"! Lawler: "Ya know J.R., for once we agree on something because I'm in the same boat.... this group is horrible"! J.R.: "They claim to be employed by the FCC but we know that's b.s. and now they've gone out and recruited the Collossus of Bogo Road, Nathan Jones to do their law enforcing.... whatever the hell that means"! Lawler: "I would just hate to see these guys gain any more power J.R., maybe the Hurricane and Cyclone can knock 'em down a notch here"! The Network Police w/ Cyrus the Virus and Nathan Jones vs. The Dynamic Duo The Hurricane started the match off with Steven Richards and after some great chain wrestling, Hurricane ducked a clothesline and caught Richards with his own favorite move, the superkick. But after hitting the ropes, Hurricane's foot was grabbed by Nathan Jones who was seen by referee Jim Korderas and thrown out. It was all downhill for the Network from there as Cyclone took it to Mr. Mature. After a double dropkick took Richards over the top rope and to the floor, Cyclone connected with a hard DDT on Oliver Worth. Hurricane then went to the top rope and Cyclone got in the corner, allowing Hurricane to stand on his shoulders for added height and he came off with the Rocket Launcher, hooking the leg of Worth to get the 1.......2........3. Match Time: 5:56 THE DYNAMIC DUO's MUSIC PLAYED AND THE CROWD ERUPTED IN CHEER. J.R.: "Now that's what I call superheroes! They're gonna be everybody's heroes after beating these jerks"! Lawler: "Look at the look on the face of Cyrus! He can't believe it"! CYRUS WAS SHOWN STEAMING AS HURRICANE AND CYCLONE LEFT. J.R.: "Hey, I'd go for that look every week! I love it"! BACKSTAGE.... STEPHANIE's OFFICE..... CAMERAS SHOW SHAWN MICHAELS IN STEPHANIE's OFFICE. Stephanie: "Yes Shawn, I got your written request for a temporary leave of absence, I just need a reason now". Shawn Michaels: "Okay, well my wife is set to give birth very soon to our second child and I'd like to take the time off to be with my family. I'm sure you understand". Stephanie: "Okay, I'll allow it. But you let me know as soon as you're ready to come back.... RAW needs you". Michaels: "You know I will". Lawler: "Michaels is leaving"? COMMERCIAL BREAK...... A COMMERCIAL FOR 1-800 COLLECT WITH CARROT TOP FOLLOWED BY ONE FOR MOUNTAIN DEW LIVE WIRE. RETURN FROM BREAK.... STEPHANIE's OFFICE..... AS SOON AS RAW COMES BACK, CHRISTIAN BARGES INTO STEPHANIE's OFFICE. Christian: "I got it"! Stephanie: "You got what"? Christian: "I want a match.... me versus Shawn Michaels next week"! Stephanie: "Gee Christian, I'd love to make that match, but I just gave Shawn a temporary leave of absence for some family time". Christian: "You what?! Ahhhhhhh"! CHRISTIAN HITS THE WALL AS HE LEAVES THE OFFICE, PUTTING A HOLE IN IT. Stephanie: "Expect to see that come out of your check"! INSIDE THE RING, BOTH BASHAM's AWAIT THE ARRIVAL OF THE KING OF CABLE. J.R.: "Yeah... what a good guy Christian is! Now he's destroying this facility"! "LYING FROM ME" BY LINKIN PARK PLAYS AND JOE COREY COMES OUT TO A MIXED RESPONSE WITH THE KING OF CABLE TITLE AROUND HIS WAIST AND ALEXIS LAREE AT HIS SIDE. Lawler: "Well can you blame him J.R.? Shawn Michaels just bailed on that match"! J.R.: "Bailed my ass! He didn't even know about it and he wants to be with his pregnant wife! Christian's just gonna have to get over it"! Lawler: "I wonder if Shelton Benjamin's got his eye on this". J.R.: "You bet he does. It seems to me like Joe Corey wants to do everything to show he's better than Shelton other than just climb into the ring with him"! Lawler: "I wouldn't say that, he just wants to show Shelton what it takes to be a champion like him". TWF King of Cable title match Challenger.... Danny Basham w/ Doug Basham vs. "The Show" Joe Corey w/ Alexis Laree Joe Corey was easily as impressive as Shelton Benjamin was earlier, opening up with a big set of offensive moves. Doug Basham acted like he was gonna get involved but Alexis easily lured him away and in the ring, Corey fought off Danny as he tried to make a comeback and locked in "The Cage" to get him to tap out. Match Time: 5:54 J.R.: "Joe Corey has successfully defended that King of Cable title here and that submission move of his is becoming more and more of a weapon for him". Lawler: "See J.R., that's what it takes to be a champion here in the TWF. Shelton Benjamin might be good, but he's not this good"! "LYING FROM ME" PLAYED AGAIN AND COREY LEFT WITH ALEXIS, HOLDING THE TITLE HIGH IN THE AIR. J.R.: "Well I'd still like to see that match someday". BACKSTAGE..... CAMERAS IN THE BACKSTAGE AREA SHOW JOHNNY BLAZE CHATTING WITH ALEX MIRAN BUT THEY CAN'T PICK UP WHAT's BEING DISCUSSED. "3 MINUTES" BY 2 SKINNY J's HITS AND JAMAL AND ROSEY COME OUT LED BY CRYSTAL CARMICHAEL. J.R.: "More tag team action on the way but what the heck is Johnny Nitro telling Alex Miran? He can't have anything good to say"! Lawler: "Oh come on J.R., you don't know what the basis of the conversation is". "BASIC THUGANOMICS" PLAYS AND JOHN CENA COMES OUT TO EASILY ONE OF THE BIGGEST POPS ALL NIGHT. HE IS WEARING A CLEVELAND CAVALIERS THROWBACK JERSEY WITH BRAD DAUGHERTY's NUMBER 43 ON IT. J.R.: "And here comes the doctor"! Lawler: "And there go Jamal and Rosey... Crystal's ordered them to attack"! JAMAL AND ROSEY LEFT THE RING AND CENA TOOK HIS JERSEY OFF, TRYING TO HOLD HIS OWN AGAINST THE 2 BIG MEN. THEY WERE ABLE TO TAKE HIM OVER WHEN "DON'T PLAY WITH FIRE" BY 2PAC HIT AND AUSTIN PYROMANIA CAME OUT TO A HUGE RESPONSE. J.R.: "Here comes the help"! Jamal and Rosey w/ Crystal Carmichael vs. John Cena and Austin Pyromania w/ Stacy Kiebler As the 4 men brawled down to the ring, Stacy Kiebler came out to counter Crystal. The newly formed team of Pyromania and Cena were untouchable in this one and Pyromania took Rosey out with a DDT on the floor. In the ring, Cena squared off with Jamal who smashed him in the corner with an avalanche before going for a samoan drop. But Cena slipped off his shoulders and lifted him onto his, dropping him with the "F-U". He then tagged in Pyromania who came off the top rope with a corkscrew moonsault, hooking Jamal's leg for the 1......2........3. Match Time: 4:40 "DON'T PLAY WITH FIRE" PLAYED AGAIN AS STACY CAME IN THE RING AND HELD BOTH PYRO AND CENA's ARMS UP. CRYSTAL LEFT WITH A VERY BITTER LOOK ON HER FACE AS HER TWO MEN LICKED THEIR WOUNDS. J.R.: "How impressive is this team? They just made two of the biggest men in the TWF look like a couple of youngsters and King, I'd sure hate to be in the boots of Pyromania's attacker right now"! Lawler: "Why? His identity is still unknown! I'd hate to be in Pyromania's shoes"! J.R.: "Well fans you don't wanna go away! Our huge main event, Eddie Guerrero versus High Octane is next"! COMMERCIAL BREAK....... A COMMERCIAL FOR LEVITRA IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY ONE FOR YJ STINGER FEATURING JORDAN ROCKWELL. RETURN FROM BREAK.... AS RAW RETURNS, A PROMO GRAPHIC WITH THE RAW LOGO IS SHOWN. VICTORIA, HOLDING THE WOMEN's TITLE IS ON ONE SIDE AND JACKIE GAYDA IS ON THE OTHER. J.R.: "Next week right here on RAW, you will see Victoria defend the Women's title against a woman who beat her their last time out, Jackie Gayda"! THE SOUND OF AN ENGIVE REVVING UP IS HEARD LOUDLY OVER THE SPEAKERS AND THEN "DOWN WITH THE SICKNESS" HITS AND OUT COMES HIGH OCTANE. Lawler: "Well I can't wait for that but I can't wait for this either"! J.R.: "We've been looking forward to this match since it was first reported King and you gotta believe that High Octane will jump right into the title picture with a win here". "VIVA LA RAZA" IS HEARD AND OUT COMES EDDIE GUERRERO TO A HUGE OVATION. Lawler: "And he should be if he wins J.R. but Latino Heat is focused and having a good time"! J.R.: "It was last week right on this program when Eddie Guerrero won a triple threat match to make himself the number one contender and if he could add another win here, he'd have a ton of momentum". JUST THEN, KURT ANGLE's MUSIC HIT AND HE PUSHED A RECLINER OUT FROM THE BACK AND TOOK A SEAT WITH THE WORLD TITLE OVER HIS SHOULDER. Lawler: "All right! We're gonna be graced by our World champ J.R."! J.R.: "Yeah I'm just so thrilled that.... oh look out"! AS EDDIE LOOKED OVER AT ANGLE, HIGH OCTANE TOOK HIM OUT WITH A BASEBALL SLIDE AND CAME OUTSIDE THE RING, TAKING IT TO GUERRERO. BUT JUSTIN SANE CAME RUNNING OUT, RIGHT PAST ANGLE AND HE WAS ALL OVER HIGH OCTANE, POUNDING HIM WITH SOME UNCONTROLLABLE SHOTS. EDDIE SCRAMBLED AWAY AS SECURITY RUSHED DOWN TO STOP THE MEN. J.R.: "I think Earl Hebner has thrown this one out! We've got an out of control melee out here"! Lawler: "Here comes Angle"! ANGLE LEFT HIS SEAT AND CAME DOWN, TRYING TO HELP BREAK THINGS UP AS DID EDDIE. FINALLY, ANGLE PULLED HIGH OCTANE AWAY AND LED HIM UP THE RAMP AS SECURITY FORCEFULLY HELD JUSTIN SANE BACK. BUT ONCE ANGLE AND HIGH OCTANE WERE OUT OF SIGHT, AUSTIN PYROMANIA APPEARED ON THE STAGE, STARING DOWN AT JUSTIN SANE. Lawler: "Look at this"! J.R.: "Oh no, he doesn't think Justin Sane is really his attacker.... does he"? OFF AIR.........
