WWE Monday Night RAW: Week 4, April 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 4, April 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! JR and “The King” discuss the fallout of Backlash, reminding our viewers to buy the replay! They can’t believe that Triple H retained in the main event! RATING: 84 (B+) Notes: None. ____________________________________________ “The Game” hits and the show opens with the entrance of Triple H, flanked by Batista and Ric Flair. Three-fourths of Evolution gets into the ring and Hunter grabs a microphone. http://i.imgur.com/66pRLxDs.jpg “Last night, just like every other night, I did what you all said I couldn’t do. I once again beat everyone in my path and I proved that I am the greatest World Champion in history. I said to bet the house on me last night, and if you did, you hit the jackpot. I am the toughest and most deserving champion in the history of this business, and—“ “Whatever” hits as the fans go nuts for Chris Benoit! Batista stares down at him and talks trash, but Benoit simply flashes a toothless grin. He gets into the ring and has another microphone, staring down all three members of Evolution fearlessly. http://i.imgur.com/vfVCug4s.jpg “Listen Triple H, you sit here and you talk about how great you are and how great of a champion you are – why don’t you prove it right here tonight? I want a shot at that belt. Last night I made your boy Batista tap and tonight I’m gonna make you tap and become the World Champion!” The crowd cheers, Evolution vehemently disagrees with this, and as Triple H begins to voice his displeasure, Eric Bischoff’s theme hits! He comes out to the top of the ramp with a third mic. http://i.imgur.com/BItx27Js.jpg “Now before things get out of control on my show, I’ve got news for all of you. Benoit, you will not be facing Triple H for the title tonight. However, as fair of a General Manager as I am… right here tonight I’ll give you someone who identifies as a champion. In order to be the champion, you’ve got to beat guys that are championship caliber. Last night you beat Batista, who’s got as bright a future as anyone in this business…but what I want to know, Chris Benoit, is whether you can beat a man who’s been to the top of the mountain…so tonight, you’re gonna be going one-on-one…with “THE NATURE BOY,” RIC FLAIR! Benoit laughs and is ready to go, as Flair wants no part of “The Rabid Wolverine!” Triple H and Batista calm him down as we head to a commercial break. RATING: 95 (A*) Notes: Bischoff and Benoit did really well in this segment. ____________________________________________ http://i.imgur.com/Uy0DsqP.jpg vs. http://i.imgur.com/ooGPDYe.jpg Spike Dudley vs. Sylvain Grenier w/Robert Conway Spike, as always, put up a good effort as the underdog, but could not overcome Conway at ringside. Grenier finished him off with a vertical suplex which he turned into a DDT! RATING: 44 (D) Notes: 5:22. ____________________________________________ Backstage, Randy Orton stands with Todd Grisham, smirking and polishing his Intercontinental Title. Orton’s head is bandaged from the cuts he received last night at Backlash. Grisham asks his thoughts on his win against Mick Foley. http://i.imgur.com/OLkjkujs.jpg “Last night, I ascended to the next tier of greatness that my destiny has determined for me. I beat a man who was considered the toughest and the hardest to put down…I beat him at his own game! He threw everything at me, and I threw everything and more back. Last night at Backlash, Randy Orton walked in the Legend Killer…but walked out…The Living…Legend.” RATING: 92 (A) Notes: None. ____________________________________________ http://i.imgur.com/v6OLINys.jpg <img alt="I19scf9.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/I19scf9.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> vs. http://i.imgur.com/6iaSSHI.jpg Lita © vs. Molly Holly In a Backlash rematch, Lita was able to pick up another win over the former champion! She rolled her up and surprised Molly by retaining her belt! RATING: 54 (C-) Notes: 6:56. ____________________________________________ Backstage, ”The Nature Boy” Ric Flair is with Jonathan Coachman, asking him about his match later against Benoit. Fired up, Flair responds. http://i.imgur.com/qOUB3EHs.jpg “YOU KNOW SOMETHIN’ COACH?! Chris Benoit thinks he deserves a title shot against Triple H?! Well I got news for ya, Chris! I BEEN to the top of the mountain, and I been there SIX…TEEN…TIMES! You had your fifteen minutes over on SmackDown, but I know for DAMN sure that you’ve never been good enough to be the big man on campus! You’ll never be a limousine ridin’, jet flyin’ – WOO! – kiss stealin’, wheellin’, dealin’ son of a gun! And that’s why tonight, I’m not gonna be the one tappin’ out…you are! WOO! RATING: 86 (B+) Notes: Solid Flair promo, he loves going off-script. ____________________________________________ Back at ringside, “Sexy Boy” hits and Shawn Michaels makes his way out to the ring looking serious to the point of almost somber. He grabs a microphone and calls Rob Van Dam to the ring. After a long pause, Rob Van Dam eventually comes out to the ring and stands with Shawn in the ring, questioning why he was called out. http://i.imgur.com/LEKpexqs.jpg “Alright Rob, listen. The reason I called you out here wasn’t to blame you for Triple H keeping the belt last night or anything like that, I just have to tell you. You got me… You proved me wrong. I didn’t think you could hang, Rob, but not only did you hang with Triple H, you hung with me, too. And I want to apologize to you for what I did at WrestleMania. I know that taking that moment from you is too big for an apology, but you’ve gotta understand that the World Title is what we all work for. I let that get to me too much, and it was you that suffered. I’m sorry.” Before Van Dam can answer his apology, Johnny Nitro interrupts! He’s on the big screen with Melina. http://i.imgur.com/BMY1ohPs.jpg “Oh boo hoo, no one gives a damn about your little soap opera. Why don’t you guys hold this conversation for the showers? You two standing in that ring having an emotional moment isn’t what the fans wanna see…they wanna see the sexiest and fastest rising couple in this business, Melina and Johnny Nitro!” The crowd boos as Shawn answers with one thing: http://i.imgur.com/LEKpexqs.jpg “You wanna interrupt “The Heartbreak Kid” Shawn Michaels? How about next week then Johnny, I kick your teeth right down your throat?” The crowd cheers, and Nitro accepts quickly. We’ve got a match for next week! RATING: 70 (C+) Notes: None. ____________________________________________ http://i.imgur.com/h4vJCPC.jpg vs. http://i.imgur.com/qnXYO9Q.jpg Billy Gunn vs. A-Train Continuing their rivalry from SmackDown, Billy Gunn was able to roll up the big A-Train to regain some momentum after Backlash. RATING: 70 (C+) Notes: 8:03. ____________________________________________ After a commercial break, The Dudley Boyz come out to the ring for commentary! With their title belts over their shoulders, both men say they don’t care about who wins the next match, they’re gonna kick ass no matter what! RATING: 70 (C+) Notes: None. ____________________________________________ http://i.imgur.com/UwmRujZ.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/CDVtSdu.jpg vs. http://i.imgur.com/1cBihZ1.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/fPP61U0.jpg The Hurricane and Rosey vs. Shelton Benjamin and Rodney Mack This one was pretty evenly matched, but eventually Shelton caught Rosey with a Superkick and he fell backwards into a Cobra Clutch slam from Mack for the win. RATING: 52 (D+) Notes: 5:50. Shelton Benjamin’s Performance is improving. ____________________________________________ On the big screen, royal music begins to play and is eventually revealed to be a promo by William Regal. In a suit, he stands with his classic sneer and begins to talk. http://i.imgur.com/t1zNf7zs.jpg “Next week William Regal makes his return to Monday Night RAW…About a year ago I contracted a serious stomach illness and how many of you ingrates reached out to me to check in on my recovery? Absolutely none. So next week when I triumphantly make my return, I’m going to spit in the face of each and every one of you fat American imbeciles as I lay waste to the entirety of the RAW roster.” RATING: 45 (D) Notes: None. ____________________________________________ <img alt="dhDKZ5h.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/dhDKZ5h.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> vs. http://i.imgur.com/9bHsEeH.jpg Chris Jericho vs. Christian w/Trish Stratus This match was just as heated as the one from Backlash, and Jericho’s victory the night before meant nothing on this night. The referee was knocked out late in the match, and Christian’s victory was secured by an attacker from the crowd that planted Chris Jericho with a Lariat to the back of the head! Trish Stratus woke the referee, who slowly counted a three for Christian! RATING: 76 (B-) Notes: 7:31 ____________________________________________ After the match, Christian, Trish, and their accomplice walk to the back victorious, Christian doubled over in pain. Jericho clutches the back of his head and we head to a commercial break. RATING: 56 (C-) Notes: None. ____________________________________________ In the back, Kane is breathing heavily in a dark room by himself. The tortured soul mutters to himself. http://i.imgur.com/Pp9cPOss.jpg “Too much compassion…not enough destruction. Tajiri felt it. DONE…with him. Now it’s time to strike the heart. I will crush the heart. No more leash…the demon is alive.” RATING: 80 (B) Notes: Kane switched to an Evil Incarnate (Brute) gimmick, which got a 76 rating. ____________________________________________ <img alt="vfVCug4.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/vfVCug4.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> vs. http://i.imgur.com/qOUB3EH.jpg Chris Benoit vs. Ric Flair w/Triple H and Batista Chris Benoit looked to refute Flair’s statements from earlier on in the night. The two engaged in a technical wrestling war, which was repeatedly interrupted by Evolution on the outside. Eventually, Triple H and Batista were knocked off the apron and Flair was forced to tap out to the Crippler Crossface! RATING: 84 (B+) Notes: 9:26. Flair was getting a little tired at the end. ____________________________________________ Chris Benoit has his hand raised, but Triple H and Batista attack him from behind! Benoit starts to fight back, throwing punches and fending off the assault! Flair gets back into it, but Benoit begins to prevail over the numbers game! Without him noticing, however, Randy Orton sneaks into the ring and plants him with an RKO! After this, “The Rabid Wolverine” was defenseless, being destroyed by all four members of Evolution. Triple H ends it with a Pedigree as the dominant four-man collective stands tall to end the broadcast! RATING: 99 (A*) Notes: Batista switched to a Man Beast (Brute) gimmick, with an 81 rating. ____________________________________________ OVERALL SHOW RATING: 89 (A) Notes: This show increased our popularity in 23 regions.

RATING: 88 (B+) Notes: None. ____________________________________________ http://i.imgur.com/5TC6Cq0.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/RUiopJ6.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/5BQrTYs.jpg vs. http://i.imgur.com/fOPG6D3.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/AWxdiEm.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/sjmaaqR.jpg The Chosen Ones vs. Funaki and Too Cool Using fluid tag team work and chemistry with one another, The Chosen Ones (Orlando Jordan, Elijah Burke, and Montel Porter) were able to defeat Funaki and Too Cool when Orlando Jordan hit the Blackout on Funaki. RATING: 44 (D) Notes: 8:13. Funaki’s getting better at brawling. This was the only picture I could find of MVP without it being his MVP character, even though I'm pretty sure this is post-WWE. Still trying to find a good older one. ____________________________________________ After a commercial break, Brock Lesnar’s music hits and he comes out to the ring not dressed to compete. He grabs a microphone and stands in the ring. http://i.imgur.com/MQwofn0s.jpg “Last week on SmackDown, I destroyed Edge just like I said I would. Edge, you picked a fight with the wrong guy. You should’ve stayed home with that fragile little neck of yours. You couldn’t even make it a month without me crushing your larynx…I brought the pain last week and Edge, this means you’re out for a very long time. I cut your return short, but I think you should know that if you do try to come back, the beatdown isn’t gonna end. I showed mercy last week, but that’s the only time that you’ll ever get mercy from Brock Lesnar.” RATING: 76 (B-) Notes: Brock improvised pretty well. ____________________________________________ http://i.imgur.com/REmqk5R.jpg http://i.imgur.com/jCQytBR.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/Wp6MfX6.jpg vs. http://i.imgur.com/gBgl89u.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/w3hYP6p.jpg The APA vs. Lords of the Ring © This match saw the APA leave it all out in the ring. Despite this, however, Ron Simmons was caught by a distraction and rolled up by Charlie Haas, being surprised and losing the match for his team! RATING: 61 © Notes: 7:40. Bradshaw’s getting better in the ring as a whole, especially technically. ____________________________________________ Realizing the implications of their loss, the APA look at each other from across the ring. The crowd quiets to a hush, waiting to see the interaction between the two now former partners. They look at each other in shock, Simmons apologizing for being caught off guard. Bradshaw doesn’t say much, but just gives him a disappointing shake of the head and walks out. Simmons is left standing in the ring as Bradshaw walks up the ramp, clearly massively disappointed in the breakup with his tag team partner. RATING: 55 (C-) Notes: None. ____________________________________________ http://i.imgur.com/Zqtcj22.jpg http://i.imgur.com/h61E6Fe.jpg vs. http://i.imgur.com/1nFL1YA.jpg vs. http://i.imgur.com/PifrCch.jpg vs. http://i.imgur.com/ySr8GS6.jpg Brian Kendrick vs. Jamie Noble vs. Akio vs. Chavo Guerrero © This match proved to be Chavo’s greatest test yet, with three young, explosive talents all gunning for the Cruiserweight Championship. With one fall to a finish, any man could pin any man and become the champion. However, Chavo was able to sneak a victory by holding Jamie Noble’s tights! RATING: 68 (C+) Notes: 8:10. Chavo was off his game tonight, but still the match was decent. ____________________________________________ Backstage, Rene Dupree is with Josh Matthews, talking about his actions last week. http://i.imgur.com/xYQ5dlPs.jpg “John Cena, you should not have the US Championship. Americans can’t cut it as United States Champions, they are uncultured and abrasive! The next US Champion needs to be classy and cultured, and that’s why I challenged you last we--” All of a sudden, he’s interrupted by the arrival of the man he attacked last week, the WWE United States Champion John Cena! http://i.imgur.com/W5aGUFYs.jpg “Well if it ain’t the cowardly Frenchman. A’ight I admit you got the best of me last week, but that’s ‘cause you took me out from the back. Next time I promise you John Cena’s gonna see yo’ punk ass comin’. And if you want a title shot…I ain’t gonna back down from nobody, because the CHAMP…is HERE.” Cena holds up his United States Championship and walks off, leaving Dupree grinning. RATING: 70 (C+) Notes: None. ____________________________________________ http://i.imgur.com/ARR4olN.jpg vs. http://i.imgur.com/YmY5eVp.jpg Ultimo Dragon vs. Scott Steiner This matchup saw the Dragon look to exploit his opponent’s lack of speed. However, he was caught by Steiner with a Powerslam and never stood a chance after that. The Steiner Recliner ended this one pretty quickly. RATING: 76 (B-) Notes: 7:40. ____________________________________________ After the match, Steiner wastes no time in grabbing a microphone from ringside. http://i.imgur.com/YmY5eVps.jpg “Undertaker! Undertaker, I ain’t scared of you! You get your ass out here and fight me! You think that the Genetic Freak’s scared of a big stupid walkin’ zombie? I guess your body really don’t work, Taker, because you don’t have the balls to come out here and fight me right now! I’ll kick your ass all around this ring!” With Steiner goading The Undertaker, the lights go out. The crowd cheers as The Undertaker appears in the ring, and Steiner throws a punch! Taker shrugs off a couple of shots and fights him back, hitting him with a flying clothesline. Taker lands a couple of moves in his favor, and clotheslines Steiner over the ropes to floor, along with himself! Undertaker picks up Steiner, but Scott hits a huge low blow on the Deadman, swinging the momentum! Big Poppa Pump takes the Undertaker and starts to go to work on him, sending him flying into the barricade! Steiner continues the beatdown and eventually stands tall over the Phenom! We go to a commercial break. RATING: 88 (B+) Notes: None. ____________________________________________ In the ring after the break is Mark Henry along with his manager Theodore R. Long. Long has a microphone and begins to talk about Mark Henry’s upcoming match. http://i.imgur.com/IAWJAWTs.jpg “Tonight is yet another night in the WWE where my client Mark Henry will dominate and destroy one of the premier superstars in the company. A man who is a champion. A man who has refused to give Mark Henry a title shot. But that’s okay; Mark Henry’s onto bigger and better things than the United States Championship. Mark Henry is gonna dominate John Cena and continue to plow through the SmackDown roster all the way to the WWE Title.” RATING: 71 (B-) Notes: Teddy Long worked the crowd pretty well. ____________________________________________ http://i.imgur.com/W5aGUFY.jpg vs. <img alt="S4VnQmH.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/S4VnQmH.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> John Cena vs. Mark Henry This was a non-title matchup pitting the United States Champion against the World’s Strongest Man. Both men put in an evenly matched contest until Theodore Long got involved. Long slipped the belt into Henry, who caught Cena across the face with it behind the referee’s back! A World’s Strongest Slam led to the academic 1-2-3. RATING: 68 (C+) Notes: 9:41. Henry was tired again. ____________________________________________ After the bell rings, Theodore Long instructs Mark Henry to send a message to John Cena. He stomps on him, picks the United States Champion up, and hits him with a big shoulder block. He lifts him up one more time, presumably to hit the World’s Strongest Slam, but is interrupted by Hardcore Holly! Holly runs down the ramp with a steel chair in hand! He slides in the ring and Long and Henry hit the bricks, a wild swing barely missing the skull of the World’s Strongest Man! The crowd cheers for Holly as he’s rescued another favorite of theirs in John Cena. RATING: 74 (B-) Notes: Holly has now switched to a Bad Ass gimmick which got an 87 rating. ____________________________________________ Michael Cole reports a developing situation backstage where we see a variety of officials and referee running throughout the hallways. They stop to see Booker T out cold on the ground, and they call for medical attention for him. No one is sure who attacked him, but Cole assumes it’s the Big Show. RATING: 92 (A) Notes: None. ____________________________________________ <img alt="5mCsTSL.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/5mCsTSL.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> vs. http://i.imgur.com/YCsXSU9.jpg Eddie Guerrero vs. Big Show In this non-title matchup, Eddie faced off against a man who had quite a bit of a size advantage. Michael Cole discussed how heinous it was for Big Show to attack Booker T backstage, while Tazz said that Cole has no reason to believe Big Show did it because there was no evidence. The match in itself was a pretty good one. It went back and forth with a series of twists and turns, but Eddie was able to get Big Show disqualified by acting as if Show hit him with the WWE Championship behind the referee’s back! RATING: 79 (B) Notes: 11:12. ____________________________________________ Guerrero’s ruse seemingly angered the Big Show, who begins to attack him after the match! Show rocks him with a series of right hands and begins to attack him. Out from the back is Kurt Angle, who gets tossed away from Show at first, but returns like a pit bull. Angle knocks the big man off balance with some punches, and Guerrero gets up. The two hit a double clothesline over the top rope! The show ends with Guerrero’s music playing and him holding the belt up high. Angle holds his hands up and looks at the belt before making eye contact with his friend Eddie. RATING: 81 (B) Notes: None. ____________________________________________ OVERALL SHOW RATING: 81 (B) Notes: None.

I'll shoot you a prize as soon as I can Beejus. Thanks to everyone who predicted and followed throughout the month of April. B-Shows, then Power 25, then Monthly Recap, then RAW preview should probably all be up today or tomorrow. Question: Are you guys enjoying the Power 25? Does it add anything, or should I look to do something different? Because it's quite a bit of tedious work sometimes, and I want to make sure that you guys are getting some extra insight or entertainment value from it. Thanks.

I enjoy the Power 25, but if you find it tedious I suggest dropping it. The moment you stop having fun is the moment you need to eliminate whatever aspects of the diary are the cause.
