Beejus Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Quarterfinal; King of the Ring Shelton Benjamin vs. Johnny Nitro w/Melina Comment: I think 3H will stick his nose into this one (I will avoid making the "from across the room" joke) by making sure Shelton wins so he has to wrestle more at KotR. Non-Title Match Chris Jericho vs. Ric Flair Comment: Jericho will probably win, but I don't really find that Flair wins too often, so I'll go with him. Quarterfinal; King of the Ring Jeff Hardy vs. William Regal Comment: King Regal would be amazing. Money in the Bank Qualifier Jeff Hardy vs. Christian w/Trish Stratus Comment: Hardy should head to MitB instead of KotR. Rob Van Dam vs. Randy Orton Shawn Michaels vs. Kane Comments on Previous Show: I can't say that Edge in KotR impresses me very much, but I can see how it can be good to have that past winner going into it.

RKOwnage Posted July 11, 2014 Author Share Posted July 11, 2014 WWE Monday Night RAW: Week 4, July 2004 http://i.imgur.com/3HPbZ94.jpg WWE RAWMonday, Week 4, July 2004 RAW kicks off with a highlight video and we’re welcomed to the show by Jim Ross and Jerry “The King” Lawler. They talk about all the meaningful and intense matchups we have here tonight and add in an announcement by GM Eric Bischoff: because Chris Jericho elected to help Shawn Michaels and Rob Van Dam to make it a Six-Man Tag at the King of the Ring, he has been removed from the King of the Ring tournament! Instead, his spot will go to a man who Bischoff says is more deserving of a shot than anyone else he knows -- William Regal! RATING: 89 (A) Notes: None. ____________________________________________ http://i.imgur.com/cWf4s2Y.jpg vs. http://i.imgur.com/BMY1ohP.jpg King of the Ring Quarterfinal Shelton Benjamin vs. Johnny Nitro w/Melina For the second straight week, these men were involved in a King of the Ring matchup, only this time, they faced off against one another. This was a very solid opener to kick off the show, with both men showing their elite athleticism. The World Heavyweight Champion, Triple H, came out to seemingly further along his plan of ensuring that Shelton wrestles in multiple matches at the King of the Ring, but this time, Benjamin saw him coming and knocked him off the apron! However, he turned around into a Superkick, and Nitro rolled him up with his feet on the ropes to move on! RATING: 70 (C+) Notes: 8:46. ____________________________________________ The rest of Evolution stands in the back along with Kane, going over strategy for the night. Flair and Orton talk about how they've got each other's back out there, but Kane makes it very clear that this alignment doesn't move past the King of the Ring. He states that he wants Shawn Michaels all to himself tonight and that he won't share with Evolution, or anyone else. He walks out, leaving Flair and Orton apprehensive and befuddled. RATING: 85 (B+) Notes: None. ____________________________________________ http://i.imgur.com/dhDKZ5h.jpg vs. http://i.imgur.com/qOUB3EH.jpg Chris Jericho vs. Ric Flair w/Randy Orton The newest addition to the King of the Ring event, Chris Jericho, looked to score a victory over "The Nature Boy" just six days before the event. This was Flair's best match in months by far, and the two put on a very technically sound contest. It ended when Jericho hit a springboard dropkick to Orton, knocking him off the apron, and Y2J turned a Figure Four attempt into the Walls of Jericho, forcing Flair to tap! RATING: 79 (B) Notes: 7:36. Despite the quality of the match, Flair was super winded by the end of it. ____________________________________________ Todd Grisham interviews Jeff Hardy backstage about his pair of matches here tonight. Hardy says that he's not one to back down from any challenge, and he's still going to win the King of the Ring, but there's no match that's ever been announced that's piqued his interest more than this Money in the Bank match. Everybody knows that a Ladder match is tailor-made for Jeff Hardy and after he becomes King, he's gonna wrap up all the gold by becoming the World Heavyweight Champion! RATING: 58 (C-) Notes: None. ____________________________________________ Elsewhere backstage, Triple H is walking intensely, when he's hit from the side by Shelton Benjamin! The two start to brawl, and Benjamin gets the upper hand! They're pulled apart, but Benjamin breaks away and lands a few more shots to the champion! He shouts something about being "more than The Game can handle" and the two are finally separated by officials! The title is on the line, this Sunday! RATING: 82 (B) Notes: None. ____________________________________________ http://i.imgur.com/5PIw1Nu.jpg vs. http://i.imgur.com/t1zNf7z.jpg King of the Ring Quarterfinal Jeff Hardy vs. William Regal w/Damien Warlock The semi-finals on the RAW side of the tournament would be finalized after this one and the competitors gave it their all to make it through. The superior mat wrestler, Regal (who was placed in this match in lieu of Chris Jericho by Eric Bischoff), used holds and leverage to ground the high flier, but he could only be held down for so long. Warlock, on the outside, tried to get involved, but was tossed by the referee! Eventually, Jeff Hardy was able to manage the win with a Swanton Bomb to move on to the semi-finals against Johnny Nitro! RATING: 70 (C+) Notes: 10:07. ____________________________________________ Unfortunately for Jeff Hardy, his time to celebrate was short. Immediately after his match, he has to fight another one against Christian to qualify for the Money in the Bank Ladder Match! Christian comes out, along with the beautiful Trish Stratus, walking down the ramp and pointing to his fans in the crowd. On his way to the ring, Jeff Hardy motioned for him to hurry up, as he wanted the match to start, but Christian simply smirked -- Tyson Rude had slid in the ring behind Hardy and waffled him with a Northern Lariat! Rude stomped him down and Christian slowly sauntered into the ring, telling Rude to leave him so the bell could ring! RATING: 59 © Notes: None. ____________________________________________ http://i.imgur.com/5PIw1Nu.jpg vs. http://i.imgur.com/9bHsEeH.jpg Jeff Hardy vs. Christian w/Trish Stratus and Tyson Rude Christian made the cover as soon as the bell rang -- 1, 2, thr-- no! Jeff Hardy kicked out! The crowd cheered and Christian tried another unsuccessful cover before picking him up. "Captain Charisma" beat down on Hardy, but Jeff was able to fight back on a multitude of occasions before Christian would underhandedly swing the momentum. Despite his best efforts and a near victory via Swanton Bomb, Christian rolled out of the way and flattened Hardy with the Unprettier to qualify for Money in the Bank! RATING: 80 (B) Notes: 8:08. ____________________________________________ The Dudley Boyz are in the back, and they've got a message for the men who attacked them in the back last week, La Resistance. Bubba Ray says that "you Canuck pieces of crap" can attack the Dudleyz all they want, but when it comes to that ring, they ain't neva gonna take these belts from them because they ain't got the guts. Nobody can stop the reign of the Dudleyz, and it sure as hell ain't gonna be La Resistance. RATING: 69 (C+) Notes: None. ____________________________________________ Elsewhere backstage, Victoria is standing around and Lita comes up to her with her Women's Title looking incensed. She calls her out for attacking her poor friend Mickie James who is too hurt to be in the arena tonight. Victoria laughs her off, saying Mickie isn't fit for RAW women like her, and neither is Lita! Victoria says that she doesn't get why Mickie is Lita's biggest fan when Victoria is the most dominant Diva on the roster, calling Mickie a stupid little girl anyway. This pushes Lita over the edge, and she attacks the challenger viciously! Lita rips and tears at the hair of Victoria and the officials (who have been put to work tonight for the second time) tear the two ladies apart! RATING: 52 (D+) Notes: None. ____________________________________________ http://i.imgur.com/kM2rZgU.jpg vs. http://i.imgur.com/DCSLsjN.jpg Rob Van Dam vs. Randy Orton w/Ric Flair These two members of the six-man tag match at King of the Ring put on a match that was just as good, if not better than the Jericho/Flair one. Having had previous history with one another over the past 10 months or so, they seemed to know every coming move. Orton rolled out of the way of a Five Star; Van Dam sent Orton through the ropes after blocking an RKO. The difference-maker here was Ric Flair, who was able to distract the referee to allow Orton to hit a low blow and an RKO onto Van Dam for the win! RATING: 80 (B) Notes: 10:04 ____________________________________________ Having won earlier in the night, Johnny Nitro and Melina receive Todd Grisham's questioning very well, even inviting him to their Hollywood after-party -- before Melina rescinds the invitation because Grisham's hair is "so four years ago." Nitro says in six days, he's actually a bit worried, because once he becomes King of the Ring, he's going to be swarmed by fans everywhere he goes! Melina tells him that they will bow at his feet, and Nitro seems to like this idea, simply smiling and telling Grisham that they've got a party to attend. RATING: 64 © Notes: None. ____________________________________________ http://i.imgur.com/LEKpexq.jpg vs. http://i.imgur.com/Pp9cPOs.jpg Shawn Michaels vs. Kane Michaels/Kane II was a better-received version of their first encounter at Vengeance. Michaels refused to give up at any point, and even looked to finish Kane off with Sweet Chin Music, but Orton and Flair ran to the ring to help their partner! With them getting involved, Rob Van Dam and Chris Jericho ran down to the ring to assist! Michaels hit a plancha to the outside onto Kane, Orton, and Flair, and then a brawl erupted! This match was thrown out! RATING: 79 (B) Notes: 14:19. ____________________________________________ The final segment sees all six members of the Six Man-Tag match wailing on each other outside the ring! Shawn Michaels slams Randy Orton's' head into the barricade while Kane battles Chris Jericho up the ramp! Rob Van Dam and "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair duel it out as well, and the chaos ensues until the show goes off the air! RATING: 88 (B+) Notes: None. ____________________________________________ OVERALL SHOW RATING: 83 (B+) Notes: None.

Comments on Previous Show: I see Lloyd sneaking up on me after Raw in the predictions there, lol!

RATING: 92 (A) Notes: None. ____________________________________________ http://i.imgur.com/f5xpIIr.jpg vs. http://i.imgur.com/5TC6Cq0.jpg King of the Ring Quarterfinal Booker T vs. Orlando Jordan w/The Chosen Ones To kick off the show, either Booker or Orlando would be entered into the semi-finals at the King of the Ring special in three days. Both men realized the importance of this one -- Booker showed it by digging down deep to take a fast-paced brawl to Jordan, and Orlando showed it by having his cronies try to distract his opponent or the referee at all times. When Porter and Burke were tossed from ringside, Jordan was not able to recover, and fell to a Scissors Kick! RATING: 71 (B-) Notes: 8:15. ____________________________________________ Chavo Guerrero is in the back, in Paul Heyman's office. He tells Paul that, don't worry, the greatest Cruiserweight Champion of all time is ready for his opportunity to qualify for the Money in the Bank. Chavo has aspirations to dethrone his brother as WWE Champion and become the greatest champion of all-time. Heyman tells Chavo that he admires his great ambition, but that the Money in the Bank qualifiers are filled and that Chavo will not be involved in the matchup. He does make sure that he wants a match, and Chavo says that he does...so next week, Paul Heyman says that Chavo Guerrero can prove himself by going one-on-one with...The Undertaker! RATING: 75 (B-) Notes: None. ____________________________________________ http://i.imgur.com/REmqk5R.jpg http://i.imgur.com/AWxdiEm.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/sjmaaqR.jpg vs. http://i.imgur.com/gBgl89u.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/w3hYP6p.jpg Too Cool vs. Lords of the Ring © Too Cool's title opportunity was one which only had a feint ray of hope -- the champions dissected their opponents almost from the get-go. They successfully defended their belts after Charlie Haas forced Scotty to tap to the Haas of Pain. RATING: 57 (C-) Notes: 7:31. ____________________________________________ As we come back from commercial, a graphic showing the SummerSlam interpromotional match between The Undertaker and RAW's Randy Orton is displayed! Cole and Tazz mention that the match has been officially signed and that in August these two men will go one-on-one in a "Legend vs. Legend Killer" match! They send us to the back, where Edge cuts a promo about tonight and this Sunday. Edge says that he knows what it's like to become King of the Ring and that he'll be happy to get his hands on Brock Lesnar after he does so this Sunday. After he takes care of Rene Dupree tonight, he's going to run through two King of the Ring matches to win the crown and then take out Brock Lesnar and the Big Show. RATING: 78 (B)/78 (B) Notes: None. ____________________________________________ http://i.imgur.com/sWKRoUK.jpg vs. http://i.imgur.com/F1jAxWx.jpg John Cena vs. Mark Jindrak Cole and Tazz called this one a match that we could see as a WWE Title match in the future because of the potential of these two guys. These two guys went back and forth, but the match never got a clear finish as the United States Champion John "Bradshaw" Layfield hit the ring and ambushed Cena as he was looking for the Five Knuckle Shuffle! RATING: 61 © Notes: 7:34. ____________________________________________ After the bell rings, JBL continues the assault on Cena, joined by Mark Jindrak who puts the boots to him as well! JBL lines up Cena and goes for a Clothesline From Hell, but Hardcore Holly runs down the ramp and joins the fray! He lands shots to both the champion and Jindrak, giving Cena the chance to get to his feet! Cena and Holly take Jindrak and JBL out and stand tall in the ring! RATING: 75 (B-) Notes: None. ____________________________________________ Rene Dupree stands backstage with Josh Matthews, who asks him about his match here tonight. Dupree calls Edge a disgrace to his own country because he is a low class hoodlum who does not deserve the glory of Canada that the French bring to the country. "The French Phenom" reiterates that he is going to become a great King like many Frenchmen before him. Every great king has a path to power filled with bodies and Edge is just another peasant sitting in the path of Rene Dupree. RATING: 83 (B+) Notes: None. ____________________________________________ http://i.imgur.com/SrzzrGQ.jpg http://i.imgur.com/LrzJpjI.jpg vs. http://i.imgur.com/S4VnQmH.jpg Stevie Richards w/Dawn Marie vs. Mark Henry w/Theodore Long Stevie Richards had a tall task on his hands in this one. Mark Henry, his toughest challenge yet for the TV Title, was able to dominate the early going after throwing Richards around the ring. The match spilled to the outside where Richards began to start up a bit of a rally, but Henry flattened him with a powerslam after catching a cross body attempt. Dawn Marie would come over to Henry and try to flirt a bit, and Tazz made a "Sexual Chocolate" reference. Dawn and Teddy Long got into an argument as Long told him to focus on the title match. They continued to argue, getting the referee's attention as Henry went over toward Stevie. With the referee not looking, Richards blasted Henry in the skull with a steel chair! He rolled in the ring and the referee eventually counted Mark out for a Richards win! RATING: 66 (C+) Notes: 8:21. ____________________________________________ After a commercial break, Cole and Tazz bring us an announcement straight from Paul Heyman -- this Sunday, the United States Title will be defended in a Fatal Four Way between JBL, John Cena, Hardcore Holly, and Mark Jindrak! A pre-recorded promo is next, and it's Muhammad Hassan standing by with Daivari. He just cuts a quick one about his recent arrival in the WWE locker room. He notices the way that the other wrestlers look at him and he feels isolated for being an Arab-American. He promises the other wrestlers that no, he does not have a bomb in his bag. No, he does not know where Osama bin Laden is hiding. But yes, he does share the same passion as those men in the locker room who want to go out every night and perform in that ring. And it's only a matter of time before no one on SmackDown can escape Muhammad Hassan. RATING: 71 (B-)/52 (D+) Notes: None. ____________________________________________ http://i.imgur.com/gWqrj5i.jpg vs. http://i.imgur.com/bkLmWFv.jpg Money in the Bank Qualifier Rey Mysterio vs. Matt Hardy Two former Cruiserweight Champions squared off in this one, but Hardy looked to make sure this did not turn into a cruiserweight-style bout, grounding Mysterio at all turns. No matter how hard Matt tried, he was unable to put Rey away, and in the end, was rolled up in a victory roll by Mysterio for a Rey-Rey win! RATING: 73 (B-) Notes: 9:03. I swear I'm not purposely jobbing Matt out. >_> ____________________________________________ A video plays next. It's a quick one, and two darker-skinned Latino wrestlers are shown -- one with an afro. They tell the audience who they are; they are the sons of the former World Champion and one of the legends of the sport, Carlos Colón. They introduce themselves as Carlito Colón and Eddie Colón, and they'll be coming to SmackDown to carry on the legacy of their father! RATING: 53 (C-) Notes: None. ____________________________________________ In the back, Rey Mysterio is hanging out in the locker room after his win, and Kurt Angle walks right in. He gives a backhanded congratulations to Mysterio and asks if he's even strong enough to hold the briefcase that will be hanging above the ring. Mysterio nods and is beginning to get a bit annoyed as Kurt tells him he might not even be able to reach the briefcase standing on the top rung of the ladder. Rey gets sick of the stupid jokes (which only Angle was laughing at) and sucker punches "The Olympic Hero" straight in the jaw! He kicks him out of the locker room and shakes his head disapprovingly toward Angle. RATING: 72 (B-) Notes: None. ____________________________________________ http://i.imgur.com/YqUuruU.jpg vs. http://i.imgur.com/xYQ5dlP.jpg King of the Ring Quarterfinal Edge vs. Rene Dupree Both men had their words, and now it was time for the main event. Edge, a former King of the Ring, looked to advance to the special over SmackDown's youngest superstar. They locked up early and Dupree used an eye rake to gain the upper hand for a bit. Edge would reverse this with a quick rally later on, clotheslining both men over the top rope! After a quick brawl on the outside with both men taking hits from the ring post and the barricade, they found themselves inside the ring. Dupree went for a Death Valley Driver, but Edge flipped through it and hit an Edgecution! After Dupree kicked out, Edge looked for the Spear! He crouched, veins popping out of his head and neck, eyes bulging, and slightly bounced up and down as the Frenchman made his way back to his feet. Dazed, Dupree found his way to his feet, and rolled out of the way of the Spear, which caught the abdomen of referee Charles Robinson! The match continued on with the referee incapacitated, and Dupree ended up hit with a Spear, but there was no referee! As Edge went to wake up Robinson, Brock Lesnar hit the ring and flattened him with an F-5! Big Show was alongside him and helped the referee up while Lesnar draped Dupree's arm over Edge. "Not this way," shouted Michael Cole as Robinson's hand slammed down for the 1-2-3! RATING: 80 (B) Notes: 11:56. ____________________________________________ Lesnar and Big Show put the boots to Edge, looking to incapacitate him before their tag team match this Sunday. Eddie Guerrero hits the ring with a chair, swinging it wildly to even the numbers! Lesnar and Big Show retreat to the back as Eddie lifts up his tag team partner. The two tell Brock and Big Show to get some more, but the big men walk backward up the ramp, satisfied with their damage. RATING: 94 (A) Notes: None. ____________________________________________ OVERALL SHOW RATING: 84 (B+) Notes: None.

RKOwnage Posted July 15, 2014 Author Share Posted July 15, 2014 WWE King of the Ring Preview; Sunday, Week 4, July 2004 http://i.imgur.com/4uaq5h7.jpg WWE King of the Ring Sunday, Week 4, July 2004 Nationwide Arena; Columbus, OH Emanating live from Columbus, Ohio, is the WWE King of the Ring special live on NBC! The comprehensive match card will be as follows: http://i.imgur.com/5PIw1Nu.jpg vs. http://i.imgur.com/BMY1ohP.jpg AND http://i.imgur.com/f5xpIIr.jpg vs. http://i.imgur.com/xYQ5dlP.jpg King of the Ring Tournament Jeff Hardy OR Johnny Nitro vs. Booker T OR Rene Dupree How We Got Here: When RAW General Manager Eric Bischoff announced the 2004 King of the Ring tournament, 8 men from each brand were entered into the bracket. Jeff Hardy and Johnny Nitro were able to come out of the RAW side with two wins apiece to advance to the semi-finals, and Booker T and Rene Dupree managed this feat from the SmackDown side. The winners of these two matches will face off in the final here tonight as well! Which superstar will be crowned King of the WWE? ____________________________________________ http://i.imgur.com/jVgUHbv.jpg http://i.imgur.com/sWKRoUK.jpg vs. http://i.imgur.com/KDs3T1j.jpg vs. http://i.imgur.com/F1jAxWx.jpg vs. http://i.imgur.com/lBbkkXT.jpg John Cena vs. Hardcore Holly vs. Mark Jindrak vs. JBL © How We Got Here: This Fatal Four-Way match is a combination of two ongoing rivalries which have been smashed into one gigantic title match. JBL used the help of his "First Lady" Sable to defeat Cena for the US Title just two weeks ago at the Great American Bash, and Cena is out for blood! Jindrak and Holly have been involved in a feud based on one-upsmanship and each member of the two intertwined rivalries look for the US Title to be wrapped around their waist at the end of the night! ____________________________________________ http://i.imgur.com/LEKpexq.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/dhDKZ5h.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/kM2rZgU.jpg vs. http://i.imgur.com/DCSLsjN.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/qOUB3EH.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/Pp9cPOs.jpg Shawn Michaels, Chris Jericho, and Rob Van Dam vs. Randy Orton, Ric Flair, and Kane How We Got Here: Michaels, Jericho, and Van Dam have each had their separate issues with Evolution throughout the course of the year, and it all comes to a head this Sunday! Evolution has enlisted a hired gun in "The Big Red Machine" Kane because they know that all he wants to do is get his hands on Shawn Michaels. After the injury to Chris Benoit, this was in danger of becoming a Handicap match, but Jericho came to the rescue of the other men, relinquishing his spot in the King of the Ring Tournament to come to the aid of HBK and RVD in this one. Which side will be able to finish the other? ____________________________________________ http://i.imgur.com/YqUuruU.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/5mCsTSL.jpg vs. http://i.imgur.com/YCsXSU9.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/wah1OxO.jpg Edge and Eddie Guerrero vs. Big Show and Brock Lesnar How We Got Here: Two weeks ago at the Great American Bash, Eddie Guerrero defeated Big Show to retain the WWE Title and Edge fell in a hell of a First Blood match against Brock Lesnar. Now, these two pairs are intertwined further because GM Paul Heyman has announced that Brock Lesnar will take on Eddie Guerrero at SummerSlam for the WWE Championship. Will Edge and Guerrero be able to conquer their larger foes, or will Heyman's pair of monsters roll? ____________________________________________ http://i.imgur.com/xvoESuv.jpg http://i.imgur.com/cWf4s2Y.jpg vs. http://i.imgur.com/66pRLxD.jpg Shelton Benjamin vs. Triple H © How We Got Here: The main event of the night will feature two of RAW's superstars. A few weeks ago, Shelton Benjamin earned himself a pinfall victory over "The Game," which notched him a title shot at the King of the Ring special on NBC! After weeks of having an enraged Triple H calling that loss a fluke, Shelton has been able to pick up quite a few victories despite Evolution trying to protect the World Title! Can Shelton do the unthinkable and dethrone Triple H?! ____________________________________________ Quick Match Preview Pre-Show Match Billy Kidman and Rey Mysterio vs. The Aristocracy Comment: King of the Ring Semi-Final Jeff Hardy vs. Johnny Nitro w/Melina Comment: King of the Ring Semi-Final Booker T vs. Rene Dupree Comment: King of the Ring Final Hardy/Nitro vs. Booker/Dupree Comment: United States Championship John Cena vs. Hardcore Holly vs. Mark Jindrak vs. JBL © Comment: Six-Man Tag Match Shawn Michaels, Rob Van Dam, and Chris Jericho vs. Randy Orton, Ric Flair, and Kane Comment: Eddie Guerrero and Edge vs. Big Show and Brock Lesnar World Heavyweight Championship Shelton Benjamin vs. Triple H © Comment: Bonus Questions What will be the highest rated match of the night?
