WWE Monday Night RAW: Monday, Week 1, March 2004 <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="36517" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;">http://i.imgur.com/4KX2mQs.jpg WWE RAWMonday, Week 1, March 2004 The opening video plays featuring the Superstars that will be on the show tonight as Jim Ross and Jerry "The King" Lawler welcome the television audience to tonight's presentation of Monday Night RAW! RATING: 88 (B+) Notes: None. ____________________________________________ To open the show, the theme of Evolution hits the PA system as the four men walk down to the ring clad in suits. They all get into the ring as Triple H grabs a microphone. Triple H: Last week, “Stone Cold” Steve Austin tried to tear at the very fabric of the four men you see before you right now. Myself, Randy, Dave, and Ric, Austin wanted to divide us and make sure that we lost our titles. Well as you can see, we may be a little lighter, but Evolution has endured. Evolution endures because, like Randy said last week, it is greater than the four of us. The path of destruction that we have laid over the past year is littered with bodies, and it's not going to stop anytime soon. I am the World Heavyweight Champion, and you can throw whoever you want at me, Goldberg, Shawn Michaels, even “Stone Cold” himself – I have beaten them all and I will continue to beat whoever lines up at my door. At this moment, “One of a Kind” hits, and Rob Van Dam comes out to the top of the ramp with a microphone! Rob Van Dam: Triple H, relax man. Hold on, hold on – I mean it's awesome that you come out here with your little suit...and you do your heavy breathing thing...and you get your weekly promo about how great you are and who you've beaten...now that is talent! But Hunter, it's not about who you've beaten, it's about who you've gotta beat next, and that's “Mr. Monday Night,” Rob Van Dam, so if you want to come out here and talk about how you're the best in the business...why don't you back that up, man? The crowd cheers at the prospect of a WrestleMania preview, but Triple H just laughs. Triple H: You know, Rob, I see it now. I see why all of these fans all throughout the world love you. And it's because you're just like them – you are a loser. Your entire career you've been an underachieving loser and you are never going to amount to a damn thing in the WWE. You don't even deserve to be in this ring with me. If you want to get to me, you're gonna have to get through...say...Randy Orton and Batista first! In a Handicap match! The crowd boos Triple H's cowardice, but Steve Austin's music hits and the Sheriff is out to the ramp! Steve Austin: Listen up, I'm gonna make this quick. Triple H I'm sick and damn tired of you standing in there and wasting the time on my show, so let me make this very clear. You want that Handicap match between Orton and Batista and RVD? Well that ain't gonna happen, son! Let me tell you something right now – this is the “Stone Cold” Steve Austin show, and that's why you and Rob Van Dam WILL get in the ring tonight – in a six-man tag team match! Triple H is livid as Austin continues. Steve Austin: It's gonna be you, Triple H – along with your little clowns Randy Orton and Batista – taking on Rob Van Dam and his partners...Goldberg and “The Heartbreak Kid” Shawn Michaels! Austin's music hits and RVD grins and nods. Evolution freaks out in the ring as we go to a commercial break! RATING: 95 (A*) Notes: Austin enjoyed the freedom of improvising, and he's always been fantastic at it. RVD was a little bit lost but held his own nonetheless. ____________________________________________ http://i.imgur.com/UwmRujZ.jpg vs. http://i.imgur.com/xYQ5dlP.jpg The Hurricane w/Rosey vs. Rene Dupree w/Robert Conway In a fairly contested matchup, Dupree was able to pick up a win over the green-clad superhero with the Dupree Driver. RATING: 74 (B-) Notes: 8:05. ____________________________________________ In his office, Eric Bischoff talks about the main event tonight – banning Mick Foley from the six-man main event! RATING: 91 (A) Notes: None. ____________________________________________ In the ring, Theodore Long is standing with Mark Henry, again talking about how he has been held down by the man in the WWE. Theodore Long: There is no one more dominant, there is no one more powerful, and there is no one more extraordinary in the WWE than Mark Henry, and the fact that the World's Strongest Man still doesn't have a WrestleMania match is a clear spit in the face to aspiring black men all around the country! So Mark is gonna keep on knockin' people out until the next thing he knocks out is the door to Vince McMahon's office! RATING: 69 (C+) Notes: Long is great. ____________________________________________ http://i.imgur.com/w3hYP6p.jpg vs. http://i.imgur.com/S4VnQmH.jpg Lance Storm vs. Mark Henry w/Theodore Long Mark Henry was like a house of fire, and there was nothing that Lance Storm could do to stop the monster in this one. Henry won with a vicious World's Strongest Slam. RATING: 54 (C-) Notes: 5:53 ____________________________________________ Walking backstage, Kane looks disturbed. He twitches and grunts as he walks, and Al Snow is standing on the wall. He asks him if he's prepared for the Undertaker. Kane stops, slowly walks over to him and towers above him. Kane: ...what did you just say? Al Snow: Hey man I didn't mean to-- Kane grabs Snow's head and throws him into the opposite wall! Kane relentlessly pounds on Al Snow and chokes him and lets out tortured scream after tortured scream. Dozens of officials pull Kane off the road agent as he screams “he's not coming back! He's dead!” RATING: 73 (B-) Notes: None. ____________________________________________ http://i.imgur.com/IlRTerV.jpg http://i.imgur.com/QWmZrwm.jpg vs. http://i.imgur.com/6iaSSHI.jpg Jacqueline vs. Molly Holly © Picking up a win in another title defense, Molly Holly defeated Jacqueline with the Molly Go Round. RATING: 53 (C-) Notes: 5:40. ____________________________________________ After a commercial break, Christian and Chris Jericho are standing in the ring with their World Tag Team Championships. The ring has a red carpet inside of it along with chairs and a table with food on it. Balloons are tied to each corner and each member of the team has a party hat. Chris Jericho: Hello everyone and welcome to RRRAAAAWWW...IIIISSSS...JEEERICHOOO! It brings me great pleasure to introduce to you, the NEW World Tag Team Champions! This beautiful man standing to my right is my best friend Christian! And everyone in the world knows who I am, I am the King of the World, the Ayatollah of Rock 'n' Rolla, I am Y....2....J, Chris Jericho! The crowd cheers for Jericho. Christian: Now Chris, before we get this celebration started, I've got something to say. Over the past few weeks, I've been a little out of line, and while I've been telling you that nothing will break us apart as best friends, I've actually been letting something between us. Or rather, someone. And I would like to invite them to the ring right now to celebrate with us so I can make things right. Trish Stratus's theme hits and she pensively makes her way to the ring. Not sure what to think, she gets in the ring and looks at Jericho and Christian. Christian: Trish, listen. Thank you for coming out here. For a while now I've been pretty aggressive toward you and I just want you to know that I'm sorry. I thought that you were getting in the way of me and Chris's friendship, but really I was the one getting in the way. I think it would be for the best to come out here and ask you to accept my apology. Christian opens up his arms for a hug and the crowd boos, not buying his speech. Trish looks at him, and then looks at Jericho, who gives her an affirming nod. This comforts Trish as she moves in for the hug. Christian lifts her in the air happily and starts to laugh, he releases the hug and raises her hand along with Jericho's! The champions begin their celebration. Christian: Well now that that's off my chest, it's time to celebrate the beginning of the single greatest World Tag Team title reign of all time! The legacy of Vitamin C has only just begun, baby! At this moment, the theme of the Dudley Boyz hits and they rush the ring! Trish hits the bricks as the Dudleyz brawl with the champions! Jericho gets tossed out of the ring as Christian receives a 3-D through the table! It seems like we've got new challengers for the Tag titles! RATING: 70 (C+) Notes: Christian did a great job, and Jericho was only okay but has been better. ____________________________________________ http://i.imgur.com/LrzJpjI.jpg vs. http://i.imgur.com/3ui7cAy.jpg Stevie Richards vs. Mark Jindrak Outmaneuvering Mark Jindrak's offense was tough for Stevie, but he was able to catch him out of nowhere with a Stevie Kick to keep his roll going! RATING: 56 (C-) Notes: 6:06. These guys have great chemistry, randomly. ____________________________________________ Backstage, Evolution stands in its locker room getting ready for the match. Ric Flair: Listen up boys, THIS...is the time, of EVOLUTION! Shawn Michaels had his day 8 years ago, Goldberg had his day 5 years ago, and Rob Van Dam's NEVER had his day... and NEVER! We will march UNITED.... UNITED! Ric Flair, Batista, Intercontinental Champion Randy Orton, and WORLD...HEAVYWEIGHT...CHAMPION TRIPLE H – out to that ring...and we will – WOO! – beat and pummel and destroy Van Dam, HBK, and Goldberg! WOO! You hear that? Let's GO! WOO! Evolution agrees, getting focused for their match. RATING: 78 (B) Notes: Flair is insane. ____________________________________________ http://i.imgur.com/f5xpIIr.jpg vs. http://i.imgur.com/YmY5eVp.jpg Booker T vs. Scott Steiner Another round in this rivalry was just as unclear as the previous ones. The two men fought an evenly-matched bout, but it descended into chaos when the two ended up brawling to the back! Neither man really got the advantage and eventually they were pulled apart by officials! RATING: 82 (B) Notes: 10:01. ____________________________________________ Before the main event, the team of Rob Van Dam, Shawn Michaels, and Goldberg are standing in the back. Michaels uses his way with words to mobilize the team. Goldberg: You know I'm sick and tired of Evolution walking all over this place, Triple H weaseling his way out of matches, we gotta go out there and plant them all into the ground. Even if I've gotta be with you, Shawn. Rob Van Dam: Yeah man, you got that right Big Bill. We all wanna get our hands on Triple H, but we gotta make sure that we stop Orton and Batista too, we can't look past them. So we gotta keep it together and make sure that they don't get the best of us, that wouldn't be cool. Shawn Michaels: Alllright Bill, Rob, this is it! I'm ready to put our differences aside, Goldberg, because we both know what it's like to be blindsided by that pack of dogs, and I'm not gonna have it happen to me tonight! So listen here, boys, we're gonna head to that ring, we're gonna beat Triple H, Orton, and Batista ugly, uglier than they already are, and we're gonna show 'em what it's like to stare up at those lights in front of tens of thousands of people! RATING: 92 (A) Notes: None. ____________________________________________ http://i.imgur.com/6rLpUSv.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/G6vVMxo.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/kM2rZgU.jpg vs. http://i.imgur.com/66pRLxD.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/OLkjkuj.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/icDcXGF.jpg Goldberg, Shawn Michaels, and Rob Van Dam vs. Evolution w/Ric Flair In this matchup of epic proportions, Goldberg, Michaels, and RVD tried to coexist long enough to take on the cohesive Evolution. Every time they began to gain some momentum, however, Ric Flair would grab a boot, or distract the referee, causing any type of mayhem possible to keep his boys in control. Eventually, Flair was tossed from ringside! Livid, Flair makes his way to the back, flailing and flopping all the way up the ramp. As the match wore on, it got more and more chaotic. Eventually, Shawn Michaels tossed himself at Triple H and took him out of the ring. Batista ran at RVD, who pulled down the top rope and the Animal flew over to the ground! Orton raked RVD's eyes and gained control. After about 30 seconds, Mick Foley pulled a chair out and sat at the top of the ramp! Orton looked down at him and yelled at him to get out, and he turned around into a big Spear by Goldberg! Rob Van Dam hit the top rope and landed a Five Star Frog Splash and pinned the Intercontinental Champion for his team! RATING: 83 (B+) Notes: 12:20. Goldberg was off his game. ____________________________________________ After the match, Batista and Triple H get back in the ring to cause more chaos, attacking the winning team. Orton gets up and joins the fray, and Flair comes out from the crowd to do the same! As they beat down on the three-man team, Foley runs down the ramp with the chair in his hand, sending Evolution fleeing! Foley swings the chair around the ring and RVD, Goldberg, and Michaels get in, ready to keep up the fight. The show ends with the image of Rob Van Dam, Goldberg, Shawn Michaels, and Mick Foley in the ring as Evolution licks its wounds, heading to the back. RATING: 92 (A) Notes: RVD feels somewhat out of place, he's a bit starstruck in the ring with those guys. ____________________________________________ OVERALL SHOW RATING: 87 (B+) Notes: This show increased our popularity in 18 regions. Quick Results The Hurricane w/Rosey vs. Rene Dupree w/Robert Conway Lance Storm vs. Mark Henry Women's Championship Jacqueline vs. Molly Holly © Stevie Richards vs. Mark Jindrak Booker T vs. Scott Steiner – DRAW (brawl to the back) Six-Man Tag Team Match Goldberg, Shawn Michaels, and Rob Van Dam vs. Evolution w/Ric Flair</div></div></blockquote> Prediction Contest Leaderboard Smasher1311 - 4 Kijar - 4 The Lloyd - 3 Russelrules44 - 3 Beejus - 2 <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-username="Smasher1311" data-cite="Smasher1311" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="36517" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>It was a great month brother, but just in case you forgot, the First Page is not updated.

I know I haven't predicted for quite some time (for some reason I always arrive too late) so I thought I'd just drop in and give some love-- much like you've done with me (thanks, BTW <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/biggrin.png.929299b4c121f473b0026f3d6e74d189.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> ).

No Way Out was UNBELIEVABLE! (in a good way) and I can't wait for 'Mania! I like how you've put your own twist into things while still making it as realistic as possible, and hopefully when the next prediction cycle comes around, I can hop in and hang on <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/wink.png.686f06e511ee1fbf6bdc7d82f6831e53.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

No worries about predicting haha I write to occupy myself but it's always good to entertain others while I'm at it. As I start to book further and further into the year (I've got a rough estimate of just about everything up until SummerSlam), it gets harder to maintain that realism which is what I aim for. But as I progress you guys can be the judge of whether or not it's actually entertaining <img alt=":D" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/biggrin.png.929299b4c121f473b0026f3d6e74d189.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> The show should be up relatively soon, most likely sometime tonight!

WWE SmackDown!: Thursday, Week 1, March 2004 <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="36517" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;">http://i.imgur.com/WtzzVL1.jpg WWE SmackDown!Thursday, Week 1, March 2004 The opening video plays featuring the WWE Superstars that will be on the show tonight as Michael Cole and Tazz welcome the television audience to tonight's presentation of WWE SmackDown! RATING: 89 (A) Notes: None. ____________________________________________ The first segment of SmackDown begins with "Olympic Hero" blasting through the arena as Kurt Angle hits the ring! He comes out smiling, with his Olympic gold medals around his neck and grabs a microphone inside the ring. Kurt Angle: Last week on SmackDown, I had Eddie Guerrero beaten to an inch of his life; so much so that he couldn't even get back in the ring by a count of ten. For the second straight week, Kurt Angle beat Eddie Guerrero, and still I haven't been named number one contender. The greatest WWE Champion of all time has not been confirmed for WrestleMania XX, and this is a travesty! For all the hard work I've put into this business night after night, week after week, I deserve to be in the freaking main event, oh it's DAMN true! And if that doesn't happen -- VIVA LA RAZA! Angle's opponent from No Way Out and last Thursday makes his way out to the ring, displaying his swagger to the crowd. Guerrero smirks as he shimmies down the ramp, talking down to Angle. He gets a microphone as Angle becomes increasingly irritated. Eddie Guerrero: Listen up, man, we did this same little thing last week, and we got nowhere Kurt. We met up in the ring again and guess what, holmes -- we got nowhere. So all week people come to me and they say "Ey Eddie, you gonna fight Kurt again this week on SmackDown in Seattle?" The crowd goes nuts as Guerrero pauses a moment. Kurt's intensity rises as he gets riled up and shows that he wants more of Eddie. Eddie Guerrero: Esperame, chill out, vato. I don't think that's gonna help us at all, Kurt. We are the two best superstars on SmackDown and -- Chris Benoit's theme hits and out he comes to a great ovation! The WWE Champion gets into the ring and takes a microphone of his own. Chris Benoit: Both of you guys have gotta stop this. The fans don't want to see you two sit here and argue with each other -- they want to see champions battle it out in this ring like men! They want to see the wars we've been getting the last two weeks. The fans here in Seattle want Kurt Angle versus Eddie Guerrero one more time! The crowd explodes again, but Paul Heyman's music hits and he comes out to the ramp with a microphone in hand. Paul Heyman: Before we go any further here, Mr. Benoit, let us remember that I am the General Manager of SmackDown and I am going to make the calls here tonight. I will tell you that we will not be seeing Eddie Guerrero take on Kurt Angle here tonight because that hasn't given me a main event at WrestleMania. So I'm going to tell you what happens tonight. Before SmackDown goes off the air, you, Chris, are going to walk down to this ring. You're going to take a microphone, and you're going to tell the world who you're going to be facing at WrestleMania XX! And if you refuse, Benoit, then you will be stripped of your WWE Championship. Thank you. Heyman walks out as the three men in the ring stare at each other, the tension building between them. The announcers wonder who, if anyone, Benoit will choose? RATING: 90 (A) Notes: Angle and Eddie performed pretty well, Benoit just isn't on their level with the mic. ____________________________________________ http://i.imgur.com/vkvWn4P.jpg vs. http://i.imgur.com/QKb9mhD.jpg Rey Mysterio vs. Danny Basham w/Doug Basham Despite being undersized against his foe, Rey Mysterio was able to score a pinfall after the brothers miscommunicated, leading to a 6-1-9 and a Springboard Legdrop! RATING: 55 (C-) Notes: 6:28. ____________________________________________ After the match, Rey Mysterio has his hand raised by the referee -- and he's assaulted by Chavo Guerrero! The Bashams get back in the ring as well, as both of them put the boots to the cruiserweight. Chavo has the Bashams lift up Mysterio as he slaps him across the face, shouting insults at him. Chavo lands a vicious Gory Bomb and leaves the Cruiserweight Champion down in the ring as we head to a commercial break! RATING: 58 (C-) Notes: None. ____________________________________________ http://i.imgur.com/Shlpnkc.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/h61E6Fe.jpg vs. http://i.imgur.com/PifrCch.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/XR8MD15.jpg Paul London and Brian Kendrick vs. Kyo Dai In their SmackDown debut as a tag team, Paul London and Brian Kendrick ran circles around the associates of Tajiri, and Brian Kendrick finished off Sakoda with the Sliced Bread #2. RATING: 67 (C+) Notes: 7:41. ____________________________________________ Backstage, Chris Benoit sits in his locker room sitting down, leaning forward, and looking generally pensive. There's a knock at his door; it's Kurt Angle. Angle walks in and lets Benoit know his feelings. Kurt Angle: Listen man, there's no doubt in my mind that I'm the best guy for you to fight at WrestleMania. We've had some of the best matches in WWE history, Chris, but if you choose Eddie Guerrero, I'll still respect you. I still think you're a great competitor, but if you want a match for the ages at WrestleMania, you know who the best man to choose will be. Angle walks out, Benoit's dilemma no closer to being solved. RATING: 81 (B) Notes: None. ____________________________________________ http://i.imgur.com/F6L56JS.jpg vs. http://i.imgur.com/54iaQFl.jpg Zach Gowen vs. Tajiri Unlike his associates, Tajiri was able to find his way to a win, dropping Zach Gowen with the Buzzsaw Kick relatively quickly. RATING: 44 (D) Notes: 5:33. Gowen's Technical skills are getting better. ____________________________________________ Brock Lesnar stands in the back with Josh Matthews, and Lesnar has more to say this week about Goldberg. Brock Lesnar: Hey Bill, nice win last Monday. I just got off the phone with your real GM, Eric Bischoff, and next week, I'm gonna be on RAW. I hope you're ready because I put in an official challenge... Brock Lesnar...against Goldberg...at WrestleMania! Lesnar smiles and we head to a commercial. RATING: 76 (B-) Notes: None. ____________________________________________ Another hype video airs, The Undertaker returns in three weeks at WrestleMania! RATING: 81 (B) Notes: None. ____________________________________________ http://i.imgur.com/ARR4olN.jpg vs. http://i.imgur.com/YtDndEx.jpg Ultimo Dragon vs. Super Crazy This cruiserweight matchup pitted Japan against Mexico, with Super Crazy coming out on top in his debut with a beautiful Crazysault off the top rope. RATING: 60 © Notes: 6:13. ____________________________________________ To hype up the ensuing matchup, a video airs showing the small feud between Billy Gunn and A-Train as well as Hardcore Holly and Rhyno. A tag match is next! RATING: 65 © Notes: None. ____________________________________________ http://i.imgur.com/KDs3T1j.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/h4vJCPC.jpg vs. http://i.imgur.com/qnXYO9Q.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/7I9sj6T.jpg Hardcore Holly and Billy Gunn vs. A-Train and Rhyno Holly and Gunn worked well together and the veterans took it to their opponents. The brute team of A-Train and Rhyno used their strength throughout the matchup to isolate Billy Gunn. Finally, Hardcore was able to catch the hot tag to fight back. Holly was able to roll up A-Train for the win! RATING: 73 (B-) Notes: 8:28. ____________________________________________ The RAW Rebound airs, focusing on the continuing saga involving Triple H, Rob Van Dam, and Shawn Michaels. It highlights the six-man main event from the show. RATING: 90 (A) Notes: None. ____________________________________________ http://i.imgur.com/W5aGUFY.jpg vs. http://i.imgur.com/MQwofn0.jpg John Cena vs. Brock Lesnar It was no secret that these two men had bad blood from their past, and neither man backed down from the other. Cena still did not seem 100% and Lesnar focused on his knee for a great deal of the match. However, Cena was able to stay alive by rallying at various points. The match ended when the Big Show ran down and distracted, as well as the referee, and Lesnar blasted John Cena with his own steel chain! Lesnar fell on top for the three count as Big Show walked up the ramp grinning. RATING: 80 (B) Notes: 11:53. I don't know if he was just overselling that leg injury, but Cena was a bit sloppy. ____________________________________________ Following the match, Brock Lesnar tries to beat up on Cena again, by picking him up. Out of nowhere, Goldberg hits the ring and Lesnar tosses Cena aside. Goldberg lands a series of punches and knocks Lesnar down with a tackle! Lesnar rolls out of the ring, holding the back of his head as he backs up the ramp, fleeing from Goldberg's provocations in the ring. RATING: 90 (A) Notes: None. ____________________________________________ Following a commercial break, both Eddie Guerrero and Kurt Angle are already in the ring. "Whatever" hits and WWE Champion Chris Benoit comes out with the belt over his shoulder. Benoit grabs a mic and stands between the two of them as they face him. Chris Benoit: So this is it, huh? I stand here and look at you two guys and I decide who goes to WrestleMania. I decide who I get in this ring with and I decide... whose dreams get crushed into dust. Benoit pauses as the crowd quiets, awaiting his decision. Chris Benoit: Well, alright then. Here goes. Kurt, you are an Olympic gold medalist. You have done things that no one in this entire business has done. You're a former WWE Champion, you've main evented WrestleManias in the past. You've beaten the best in this business. You deserve to face me for this title at WrestleMania XX. He turns to Guerrero. Chris Benoit: Eddie. I've known you for a decade. We've wrestled in Japan together, we were in ECW together, we were in WCW together. You are one of the greatest worldwide superstars of all-time. You've won just about every title in the WWE, but you've never held this one. I've never seen a man successfully fight off as many demons as you have, and that's why you deserve a chance at redemption at WrestleMania XX. Guerrero and Angle both nod as Benoit reaches his final decision. Chris Benoit: When I came to WWE, I wanted the most competition I could possibly get. I wanted to leave everything I had out in that ring every night. And there's only one decision I could possibly make that would allow me to live up to that at WrestleMania. And that's why, in Madison Square Garden at WrestleMania XX... for the WWE Championship...it's going to be Chris Benoit...against Kurt Angle... About half of the crowd cheers while the other boos. Chris Benoit: ...against Eddie Guerrero in a Triple Threat Match! The entirety of the arena rises to its feet as Guerrero and Angle are shocked! Michael Cole and Tazz discuss the main event that was just made. Benoit drops the microphone and his music hits, while Eddie and Kurt stare wide-eyed at one another. The show goes off the air with this announcement! RATING: 93 (A) Notes: Benoit really took this one and ran with it. Better than expected. ____________________________________________ OVERALL SHOW RATING: 84 (B+) Notes: This show increased our popularity in 18 regions.

RATING: 90 (A) Notes: None. ____________________________________________ http://i.imgur.com/UwmRujZ.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/CDVtSdu.jpg vs. http://i.imgur.com/pMEKW88.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/3ui7cAy.jpg The Hurricane and Rosey vs. Garrison Cade and Mark Jindrak To open up the action on Monday Night RAW, the resident superheroes picked up the win following a sitout swinging side slam from Rosey to Cade. RATING: 56 (C-) Notes: 6:37. Cade's Flying skills are improving, he pulled off a nice cross body to the Hurricane. ____________________________________________ Backstage, Mick Foley is standing with Todd Grisham, who asks him about his first action on RAW since 2000. Mick Foley: You know, Todd, it's been three long months since I left the WWE instead of fighting Randy Orton, and those have been the three longest months of my entire life. It put me in a worse place than any of the injuries I've had during my whole career, and tonight against Batista, that gets put behind me. WrestleMania XX may be where it all begins again, but for Mick Foley, that night is tonight. I get my chance at redemption, and Batista is going to find out exactly how far I will go to get what I want the most. Tonight, Batista and Evolution are going to get the ass kicking that they deserve at the hands of Mrs. Foley's baby boy! RATING: 77 (B) Notes: He came across well here. ____________________________________________ http://i.imgur.com/mx7XSqs.jpg vs. http://i.imgur.com/LFUYASI.jpg Stacy Keibler vs. Victoria Stacy came up short in divas action, falling to an impressive Widow's Peak by Victoria. RATING: 55 (C-) Notes: 5:06. ____________________________________________ A video airs showing the aftermath of the main event last week, focusing on Rob Van Dam, Shawn Michaels, Mick Foley, and Goldberg's moral defeat of Evolution. RATING: 78 (B) Notes: None. ____________________________________________ The #1 contender to the World Heavyweight Championship, Rob Van Dam stands by with Todd Grisham, who talks to him about last week and his thoughts on WrestleMania. Rob Van Dam: Last week was pretty cool, man. Four guys like Mick, Shawn, Bill and I standing in the ring as a unit against Triple H's guys, it felt great and I really think we sent a message that RAW is not gonna back down from these guys. I'm gonna be honest, I wasn't sure what to think about Shawn when he first apologized for letting me get beat down, but I think last week shows that we're on the same page. Triple H, just know that you might be walking into WrestleMania as the champ, but there's only one man who's going to be walking out of MSG with the title, and that's Rob...Van...Dam! RATING: 78 (B) Notes: None. ____________________________________________ http://i.imgur.com/Uy0DsqP.jpg vs. http://i.imgur.com/Pp9cPOs.jpg Spike Dudley vs. Kane This match was absolutely laughable. Kane dominated Spike Dudley and landed two Chokeslams before making the cover. RATING: 67 (C+) Notes: 4:39. ____________________________________________ After a commercial break, the ring is set up for our WrestleMania contract signing! A table and chairs are set up in the ring, and "Glass Shatters" hits. "Stone Cold" Steve Austin hits the ring and he is our mediator for this segment. Next, Goldberg comes out to a big roar from the crowd. After a bit of a pause, the music of SmackDown's Brock Lesnar hits and he walks out! Brock comes down to the ring talking trash to Goldberg and looking cautiously at Austin. He gets in the ring as Austin has a microphone. Steve Austin: Alright listen up. Now before I get down to business and you two move onto this contract, I've gotta talk about something with the two uf ya. We've got 20 days until WrestleMania, and this badge on my chest means that "Stone Cold" Steve Austin is the Sheriff of Monday Night RAW. If you, Goldberg, or you, Brock, show up on the wrong show at any point over the next 20 days, I will open a can of whoop ass so big that it's gonna take your spot at WrestleMania XX! Brock stands up and starts talking to Austin. Steve Austin: Sit your ass down, before I make you sit. Now, you sign this contract and you beat the hell out of each other at WrestleMania, or you run your little ass outta here before I kick you out. Austin hands the clipboard to Goldberg, who signs it immediately and shoves it towards Lesnar. Lesnar looks at Austin. Steve Austin: Go ahead Brock, sign it you piece of trash. Brock, incensed, grabs the pen and signs it. Lesnar and Goldberg begin to jaw at one another. Steve Austin: There we have it, it's official. At WrestleMania XX, it will be Goldberg versus Brock Lesnar. If you're ready to see these two beat the hell out of each other in 20 days, gimme a hell yeah! The crowd obliges the sheriff. Steve Austin: Oh, and there's one more thing I forgot to mention, Brock. I think this match deserves something a little extra, and if you even read the contract you would've seen that there's a little stipulation that you might not like that much. In a match of this magnitude on the grandest stage of them all, there's only one man that can keep order and make sure that both of you do what y'all have to do to one another. The crowd begins to roar, knowing what's coming. Steve Austin: The only man who's gonna give the fans what they want...the special guest referee for Brock Lesnar vs. Goldberg at WrestleMania...is gonna be "Stone Cold" Steve Austin! Austin walks out to his music as Lesnar is livid! Goldberg grins, and as Lesnar is preoccupied with Austin, he turns around into a Spear! The crowd can't believe it as Goldberg stands over his foe. He lifts up Lesnar for a vertical suplex, and modifies his Jackhammer to put Lesnar through the table! Goldberg lets out a primal roar and screams "YOU'RE NEXT!" as we go to another commercial break! RATING: 83 (B+) Notes: Austin and Lesnar were great, Goldberg lacked a little bit. ____________________________________________ http://i.imgur.com/LrzJpjI.jpg vs. http://i.imgur.com/LNweF2L.jpg Stevie Richards vs. Robert Conway w/Rene Dupree Despite his promising young career, Robert Conway found himself on the losing end here as the veteran Richards continues his improbable winning streak. Richards hit the Stevie Kick for the win. RATING: 62 © Notes: 5:39. ____________________________________________ Backstage, Mick Foley is walking and he is cut off by Ric Flair, without Evolution. Foley looks around, wondering if he is going to get attacked by Batista and Orton. Ric Flair: Don't you worry Mick, nobody's gonna come after you right now. This is me and you! Ric Flair and Mick Foley! Mano-y-mano! You and I have been around for a looong time, Foley, and there's certain guys that you just know, in your heart, are gonna be the top guys in the business. Guys like Bret Hart, guys like The Undertaker, guys like Triple H, guys like...Randy Orton and Batista. These are the stars of tomorrow, Mick, when you and I are long gone from this business. And you gotta know that you can't get in there with these guys. You got no chance against my man Batista, and all you're doing by getting in the ring with him is showing the changing of the guard, Mick. That Evolution is light years ahead of Mick Foley. WOOO! Foley looks straight back into Flair's eyes. Mick Foley: You might be right, Ric. Batista and Orton just might be the stars of tomorrow. But tonight, just like every other night, Mick Foley leaves his heart and soul in that ring. My entire career my hard work and my success have been flying in the face of what "should" be or what a "real champion" looks like. And until I am battered and broken and can't get up anymore, I will show you all that I am going to turn what you think "Evolution" stands for right on its head and I am going to destroy it. RATING: 89 (A) Notes: None. ____________________________________________ Out in the ring, the theme song of The Dudley Boyz hits as the Dudleyz make their way to the ring. But wait, it's not the Dudleyz; it's Chris Jericho and Christian dressed as the Dudleyz! Jericho has on a fake goatee as Christian walks out with a bald cap, both wearing Dudleyz garb. They get in the ring and grab microphones. Jericho speaks (or rather, yells) in a heavy, exaggerated New York accent. Chris Jericho (as Bubba Ray): CHRIS JERACHO, CHRISCHIN, WE KNOW WE CAN'T CLIMB UP THE RANKS OF THE TAG TEAM DIVISION, SO WE'RE JUST GONNA RUIN YAW CELEBRAYSHIN AND ATTACK YOU GUYS LIKE THE CHEAP DISGUSTING NEW YAWKERS THAT WE ARE! Christian (as D-Von): OHHHHH MA BROTHA...TESTAFAAHHH! Y2Ray: WE GONNA TAKE AWAY WHAT THE FANS WANNA SEE AND FORCE THEM TO LOOK AT OUR UGLY MUGS AND OUR FAT ROLLS AND WATCH US STICK OUR NOSES WHERE THEY DON'T BELAWNG! C-Von: OHHHHH MA BROTHA...TESTAFAAHHH! Y2Ray: YOU KNOW WHAT? I'M GONNA SHOW YA WHAT WE'RE GONNA DO ONCE WE LOSE OUR SHOT AT THE WORLD TAG TEAM TITLES! Jericho turns and shoves Christian. Y2Ray: C-VON! GET THE TABLLLLEEEES! Christian makes an exaggerated movement to the outside, where he pulls up the ring apron and takes out...a bag? He rolls the bag into the ring, and out of a box inside the bag is a small table on which Christian proceeds to place toy tea supplies. C-Von and Y2Ray each sit Indian-style in the ring and take exaggerated sips from plastic toy teacups, talking about how good it is. They are interrupted by the real Dudley Boyz over the big screen. Bubba Ray Dudley: Whoa whoa whoa, boys. I hope you're having a little fun in that ring, because D-Von and I were walking around backstage and we're having a little bit of fun of our own. The screen pans out to see D-Von laughing and they're right outside the locker room marked "Vitamin C." Christian and Jericho stand up and yell at them to get out of there, but the Dudleyz enter the open door. Bubba Ray and D-Von notice something that the champions had neglected to take with them to the ring -- their belts! Bubba Ray Dudley: This is a game that we like to call hide and seek. Hahaha. Have a good day, boys! The Dudleyz snatch the belts as the crowd goes wild and Jericho and Christian run to the back in pursuit! RATING: 73 (B-) Notes: None. ____________________________________________ After a commercial break, Triple H comes to the commentary table to join Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler, looking to scout his opponent at WrestleMania! RATING: 86 (B+) Notes: None. ____________________________________________ http://i.imgur.com/kM2rZgU.jpg vs. http://i.imgur.com/YmY5eVp.jpg Rob Van Dam vs. Scott Steiner Throughout this matchup, Steiner looked for any cheap way he could get an advantage. He unbuckled the turnbuckle to cause a distraction and landed a low blow on RVD, which Triple H mocked at ringside. Looking to put an end to his cheap activities, Booker T hit the ring and got up on the apron to warn the referee. Steiner came at him and knocked him off the apron, but turned around into a high impact enzuigiri from the #1 contender! Van Dam hit the top rope and landed the Five Star Frog Splash for the win! RATING: 68 (C+). Notes: 9:48. Ehhh, these two disappointed. Steiner's really fallen a long way it seems. Their psychology was terrible. ____________________________________________ After the match, Rob Van Dam has his hand raised by the referee as he celebrates on the turnbuckles. While mocking him verbally from the announce table, Triple H stands up in his suit and the two make eye contract. Hunter smugly grins as he sarcastically claps, telling RVD that he's happy he won “all by himself.” Van Dam points down at him and motions for the belt as The Game walks to the back. RATING: 89 (A) Notes: None. ____________________________________________ A video airs before the main event, chronicling the career of Mick Foley since his last match on RAW since 2000, right up to his costing Evolution their six-man tag match last week. We're ready for the main event! RATING: 78 (B) Notes: None. ____________________________________________ http://i.imgur.com/oMwR2t3.jpg vs. http://i.imgur.com/icDcXGF.jpg Mick Foley vs. Batista w/Ric Flair Mick Foley's return match was against possibly the most vicious and powerful man in the business. Evolution's enforcer took it to Foley early, controlling the early portion of the match. Foley showed glimpses of fighting back at times, but as he built momentum he would find himself flattened by a big clothesline or a shoulder block. Flair ridiculed Foley from the outside to add insult to his monster's injury and the match did not bode well for Mick early on. As the match went on, Foley started to fight back again, getting the crowd involved. A clothesline took Batista to the ground and Foley pounded the big man with punches. After a quick burst of attacks and a double arm DDT, Mick looked ready to lock in the Mandible Claw! He removed Mr. Socko from his beaten and ragged sweatpants and held him up for all to see! The crowd exploded with cheers, and then with boos as Randy Orton hit the ring and attacked Foley to cause a disqualification! RATING: 82 (B) Notes: 9:44. Batista's Technical skills are getting better. ____________________________________________ With the bell ringing frantically, Evolution begins to put the boots to Foley in yet another gang-style assault. They shout insults at him and Batista lifts him up for a Batista Bomb, slamming the veteran to the ground with authority. Orton yells at Batista to hold Foley on his feet, and in doing so, he lands an RKO to the hardcore legend. As Evolution poses over his lifeless body, the crowd showers them with boos. Foley stirs, not deterred by the three-on-one assault. Evolution leaves the ring, and Foley crawls over to the ropes and asks for a microphone. Beaten, battered, and destroyed, Foley has a simple message for Evolution. In his most deranged and sadistic voice, Foley tells them his wish: Mick Foley: Batista...Orton...I want you in the ring at WrestleMania! Evolution is shocked at the request of the man they had just laid waste to! They walk back up the ramp with Orton nodding and the challenge has been thrown out there! RAW ends with the announcers hyping the possibility of a match like this on the grandest stage of them all in twenty days! RATING: 91 (A) Notes: With ratings like this, the feud is going to do wonders for Batista especially. Orton too. ____________________________________________ OVERALL SHOW RATING: 85 (B+) Notes: This show increased our popularity in 18 regions.

I'm truly enjoying the various twists and little adjustments you've made to the real WMXX card, and OH MAN it's gonna be awesome!

Did I miss it or does HBK not have a match? Evolution vs Mick/HBK, then?

I loved the Vitamin C-Dudleys segment, that could've been hilarious had WWE opted for that match instead of the Tag Team Turmoil clusterf&ck.

Anyway let's bump this up with some predictions, eh?

Match Preview

Six-Man Tag Match

Rey Mysterio and two partners of his choice vs. Chavo Guerrero and the Basham Brothers

Comment: Ehh. I never liked Chavo.

Scotty 2 Hotty w/Rikishi vs. Super Crazy

Billy Gunn vs. The Big Show

Comment: Was Billy Gunn at WMXX? I don't remember. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/redface.png.900245280682ef18c5d82399a93c5827.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

Billy Kidman vs. Nunzio

Eddie Guerrero vs. Charlie Haas

Comment: No way Eddie loses here... right?

Non-Title Match

Chris Benoit vs. Shelton Benjamin

Comment: I know it's non-title but see above. Yes, I'm aware that Angle might be setting them up but then it's a DQ win <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/tongue.png.ceb643b2956793497cef30b0e944be28.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

I actually watched WMXX before I started this diary and I realized how much I enjoyed what they did at the PPV, but so as not to be exactly like real life I decided to make some changes. I think it panned out well personally, but now that I'm booking past WrestleMania I can kind of let my vision come out more, which I like. And all shall be revealed <img alt=":D" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/biggrin.png.929299b4c121f473b0026f3d6e74d189.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />, but Shawn is currently not on the WrestleMania card. <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="36517" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>Billy Gunn vs. The Big Show Comment: Was Billy Gunn at WMXX?

I'm hoping to give him more of a chance this time around because I like the guy.
