WWE Monday Night RAW: Monday, Week 1, February 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, February 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! The theme song of Triple H hits and he hits the ring, World Heavyweight Championship intact. The Game comes out with a bruised and bandaged face, clearly not looking 100% after his war at the Royal Rumble with Shawn Michaels. He gingerly steps into the ring and grabs a microphone. Triple H: Last night, at the Royal Rumble...Shawn Michaels and I got into that ring and we destroyed one another to the point of exhaustion and unconsciousness. I spilled more blood, sweat, and tears in that ring last night than I have in any other match in my entire career. But which one of us is in the arena tonight? Which one of us, Shawn, holds the World Heavyweight Championship? Hunter holds up his championship and soaks in the crowd's boos. Triple H: You see, Shawn's not in the building tonight because of the damage I did to him last night, but if he were, this is what I would say to him. I would say Shawn, last night you saw exactly what I am capable of. I have always had your number. I have always been better than you, and no matter how many times you stand up, I will put you back down like the old, crippled dog that you are. Last night proves that no one, and I mean no one... can take this title from me-- "One of a Kind" hits and the crowd goes ballistic for Rob Van Dam, the Royal Rumble winner! He comes out and does his signature "Rob...Van...Dam" motion at the top of the ramp before walking down and slapping fans' hands. He gets into the ring and stares down the champion before hopping up to each corner and repeating his hand motions for the crowd. He grabs a microphone and stands in the ring with Triple H. Rob Van Dam: Hey Hunter, um...you've been talking a lot about Shawn Michaels, but I'm not sure if you realize...that he's not the guy you're going to be facing next for that World Title. At WrestleMania XX, in Madison Square Garden...you're going to be going one-on-one, with Rob...Van...Dam! The crowd goes crazy as Triple H grins. Triple H: I think you're the one who doesn't know what you're getting into, Rob. Congratulations, you won the Royal Rumble. What you don't realize is that you just made your life a living hell for the next handful of weeks. At this point... RATING: 95 (A*) Notes: Very good stuff. Hoping RVD can keep this up. ____________________________________________ ...Batista and Ric Flair enter the ring behind RVD and begin to attack! Once his dogs did some damage, Triple H puts the boots to his challenger! Out of nowhere, Booker T hits the ring and chases Evolution off! He checks on Rob Van Dam as we head to commercial. RATING: 78 (B) Notes: None. ____________________________________________ http://i.imgur.com/w3hYP6p.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/5LnPh1c.jpg vs. http://i.imgur.com/xYQ5dlP.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/LNweF2L.jpg Lance Storm and Val Venis vs. La Resistance The oddball pairing of Storm and Venis could not carry over their Heat success, falling to La Resistance after the Au Revoir to Venis. RATING: 62 © Notes: 7:50. Following his solid Rumble performance, Dupree improved his Technical ability. ____________________________________________ The camera opens on a garbage can filled past the brim with Budweiser and pans out to the "office" of Sheriff Steve Austin -- riddled with hunting gear, more beer cans, and a dartboard featuring a picture of RAW General Manager Eric Bischoff. Austin is in his office when Randy Orton comes barging in. Randy Orton: Did you see what happened out there last night, Austin? You come out and say that you uphold the law here on Monday Night RAW, and you let Mick Foley do what he did to me in the Royal Rumble? I demand justice, Austin! Austin smirks and gets in Orton's face. Steve Austin: Yeah I saw what Mick did to you out there last night. The reason I didn't do anything about it is because quite frankly I don't give a rat's ass about what happened to you at the Royal Rumble! The crowd pops and Orton is livid. Steve Austin: But don't worry, Randy, I've got some good news for you. If you want Mick Foley, you're in luck. You can go into that ring and you can call him out yourself, because I know for a fact that he's in the arena tonight! Have a nice day! Orton grins as the crowd once again pops at the mention of Mick Foley! RATING: 90 (A) Notes: None. ____________________________________________ Backstage, Goldberg is with Todd Grisham, who asks him about Brock Lesnar's interference in the Royal Rumble match. Goldberg: I'm not here to talk about Brock. My match is up next. Grisham continues to prod him about the confrontation and attack last night. Goldberg: I said...I'm not going to talk about Brock Lesnar. Goodbye. Goldberg storms off, ready for his match. RATING: 84 (B+) Notes: None. ____________________________________________ http://i.imgur.com/G6vVMxo.jpg vs. http://i.imgur.com/pgESyuc.jpg Goldberg vs. Rico w/Miss Jackie Rico got physically abused from start to finish in this one. Goldberg finished him quickly with a Jackhammer. RATING: 67 (C+) Notes: 8:07. Miss Jackie is a solid valet. Goldberg's Performance skills are getting better too. ____________________________________________ Backstage, Trish Stratus is sitting with Chris Jericho in his locker room, and he's telling her that he thought he had it this year and he can't believe Christian did what he did. Trish Stratus: I don't know, Chris, but I know that you did everything you could, and that's really all you can ask for. The door opens and Christian walks in, looking in disgust at Trish as he always does. Christian: How many times do I have to tell you? Beat it, sis. Trish once again gets up and out of the locker room while the two friends share a cold and awkward silence, eventually broken by Christian. Christian: What? It was every man for himself, right? You said the same thing before the match, Chris. Get over it. We're still a tag team. Chris Jericho: Yeah. Yeah we are. Jericho gets up and brushes past Christian and out the door, leaving him to defiantly shrug off the issue at hand. RATING: 76 (B-) Notes: Why don't they ever hang out in Trish's locker room? ____________________________________________ http://i.imgur.com/LFUYASI.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/9dScMUV.jpg vs. http://i.imgur.com/fD30oax.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/6iaSSHI.jpg Victoria and Trish Stratus vs. Jazz and Molly Holly With Trish and Jazz brawling on the outside of the ring, Victoria nailed the champion with the Widow's Peak to grab the win! RATING: 58 (C-) Notes: 7:48. Trish is improving in the ring, her Technical skills are looking more refined. ____________________________________________ Backstage, Booker T walks up to Rob Van Dam, looking extremely focused. Booker T: Yo...we got Flair and Batista out there tonight...this is your time, man. I just got your back, but you the man out there. You gotta show Evolution what you got. Van Dam shakes Booker's hand as we go to commercial. RATING: 76 (B-) Notes: Booker's good at the simple pep talk concept. ____________________________________________ http://i.imgur.com/Uy0DsqP.jpg vs. http://i.imgur.com/OLkjkuj.jpg Spike Dudley vs. Randy Orton Spike was quickly dispatched with an RKO. Orton looked fierce and dominant. RATING: 69 (C+) Notes: 5:47. Orton's brawling is getting much better. He's gonna need it against Foley. ____________________________________________ Immediately after the bell rings, Orton grabs a microphone. With Spike Dudley writhing on the ground, he puts the boots to him. Randy Orton: Do you see this, Mick? Do you see what I'm doing right now? He stomps on Spike a couple of more times before dropping to one knee and landing a few punches to his head. Randy Orton: This is what happens to those who step in the path of "The Legend Killer" Randy Orton! They reach a state of complete and utter destruction. So unless you want to end up like this piece of trash in the ring right now, I suggest you get out here and face me like a man! RATING: 80 (B) Notes: None. ____________________________________________ After a brief dramatic pause, Mick Foley's music hits and he comes out to the ring to a massive pop! He stops at the top of the ramp with a microphone. Mick Foley: Randy...last December, I stood at the top of this ramp, and I walked out of the arena instead of facing you, with my tail between my legs. I sat at home for the past six weeks and I brooded, and I sat on my couch and it was all I could think about. Never before in my career have I felt that I was a coward until these past six weeks. Never before have I backed down from anyone who has wanted a fight. And you know what, Randy, tonight I have a second chance. The crowd begins to understand where Foley is going with this, and slowly crescendos. Mick Foley: Tonight I stand in the very same spot I stood six weeks ago, but tonight is different. You keep calling me out, and you're mad that I eliminated you from the Royal Rumble. I understand that. So I'm gonna walk down this ramp, and I'm gonna give you what you want. If it's a fight you're asking for, it's a fight you're gonna get! Orton beckons him to the ring as the crowd is now at fever pitch with Foley running toward the ring! Similar to the Rumble, he and Orton get into it and Orton ends up on the losing end, with Foley clotheslining him over the ropes! The crowd goes nuts as Orton sticks the landing and slams on the apron before walking out! Foley's music plays as he does his "Bang Bang!" gesture and celebrates with the crowd! RATING: 94 (A) Notes: This feud is going to be awesome. ____________________________________________ http://i.imgur.com/mRzXEDO.jpg vs. http://i.imgur.com/Pp9cPOs.jpg Bubba Ray Dudley vs. Kane Following a disappointing finish to the Rumble, Kane found his mojo again, dominating Bubba Ray and finishing him off with a Chokeslam. RATING: 72 (B-) Notes: 10:18. ____________________________________________ After the match, Kane seems incensed by his Rumble loss and begins to take it out on Bubba Ray. The second Dudley member to be attacked after his match tonight, Bubba Ray is subject to anything Kane wants. Kane wants to hit him with another Chokeslam, but the lights go out. On the screen flashes the simple phrase. "At WrestleMania...The Dead Will Rise." The crowd goes wild as the lights come back on and Kane is wildly swinging at air and talking to himself, clearly perturbed at what was just shown on the big screen! RATING: 90 (A) Notes: None. ____________________________________________ http://i.imgur.com/f5xpIIr.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/kM2rZgU.jpg vs. http://i.imgur.com/icDcXGF.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/qOUB3EH.jpg Booker T and Rob Van Dam vs. Evolution The main event got very personal, involving the attack from earlier tonight. It was more of a brawl than anything else, and Booker T did indeed have the #1 contender's back. The match finished, however, when Ric Flair landed a low blow on Van Dam -- right in front of the referee! RATING: 76 (B-) Notes: 12:19. Flair has seen better days, this was a bit out of his length range. He was tired. ____________________________________________ Batista immediately jumps on RVD, continuing the damage from before! Booker runs into a clothesline from the big man and Flair dumps him out of the ring. This prompts the champ, Triple H to make his way down to the ring! Triple H gets in the ring and begins to taunt Rob Van Dam with the belt. He is then set up for the Pedigree by HHH's lackeys, but none other than a heavily bandaged Shawn Michaels hits the ring! The Heartbreak Kid lands a couple of right hands to Flair before going for the Sweet Chin Music to Batista, who rolls out of the ring along with his comrades. Evolution makes its way to the back as Shawn, Booker, and RVD regroup in the ring, having been victorious on this night! RATING: 83 (B+) Notes: Things just got complicated. ____________________________________________ OVERALL SHOW RATING: 83 (B+) Notes: This show increased our popularity in 13 regions.

RATING: 86 (B+) Notes: None. ____________________________________________ To open the show, Paul Heyman's music hits and SmackDown's General Manager hits the ring. He grabs a microphone to boos from the crowd. Paul Heyman: Alright, alright, everyone stop it because I've got something you all want to hear. Last night at the Royal Rumble, we saw a RAW superstar win the Royal Rumble. Which means...that our WWE Champion, Brock Lesnar, has no one to face at WrestleMania. The crowd boos as Heyman smirks. Paul Heyman: But don't worry, I am the General Manager of SmackDown and I'm all for fairness here. So I'm going to take the fifteen superstars who were involved in the Royal Rumble for SmackDown...and they're going to be in an over-the-top-rope Battle Royal right here tonight...for the right to face Brock Lesnar for the WWE Championship at No Way Out! Heyman walks to the back with the crowd actually cheering him for once. They're excited for the matchup later on! RATING: 88 (B+) Notes: None. ____________________________________________ http://i.imgur.com/ARR4olN.jpg vs. http://i.imgur.com/O7yFF07.jpg Ultimo Dragon vs. Nunzio Nunzio once again came out on the losing end of this one, losing to the masked superstar after an impressive Asai Moonsault. This one was a solid opener. RATING: 69 (C+) Notes: 6:13. Dragon looked a bit off. ____________________________________________ A hype video plays, airing out the family feud between Los Guerreros. RATING: 71 (B-) Notes: None. ____________________________________________ Backstage, a beaten, bruised, and battered Chavo Guerrero is standing looking intensely into the camera. Chavo Guerrero: Eddie...last Sunday may have been your night. I will give you that. But it's not over, ese. I'm going to come for you and I'm going to make sure you always have to look over your shoulder for Chavo Guerrero. You've won the battle, but you will never win the war...uncle. RATING: 71 (B-) Notes: None. ____________________________________________ http://i.imgur.com/MUmNCEE.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/Shlpnkc.jpg vs. http://i.imgur.com/QKb9mhD.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/4rqAkgv.jpg Billy Kidman and Paul London vs. The Basham Brothers The champions faced a surprising test here, but were able to take out the cruiserweight team after a big Spinebuster to Paul London. RATING: 57 (C-) Notes: Kidman's Performance looked good, and London and Doug Basham had some solid Flying action here. Kidman and London don't have good chemistry together, which is disappointing. ____________________________________________ A video shows the events involving Goldberg and Brock Lesnar at the Royal Rumble. RATING: 88 (B+) Notes: None. ____________________________________________ Backstage, Paul Heyman has a room set up similar to the drawing room at the Royal Rumble, with Torrie Wilson handing the numbers to the participants. Eddie Guerrero walks in, looking focused. Paul Heyman: Good luck. Heyman gives an evil smirk as Eddie, straight-faced, takes his number, looks at Torrie, smiles, and walks out. RATING: 82 (B) Notes: None. ____________________________________________ http://i.imgur.com/vkvWn4P.jpg vs. http://i.imgur.com/1nFL1YA.jpg Rey Mysterio vs. Jamie Noble w/Nidia After a few weeks of battling back and forth, Rey Mysterio was able to win the matchup over the pesky Jamie Noble. Noble tried to use Nidia to his advantage, but she resisted and eventually ended up distracting Noble so Rey could hit the 6-1-9 and the West Coast Pop! RATING: 62 © Notes: 5:49. Rey was a little bit off his game. ____________________________________________ Another hype video plays, this time showing the potential knee injury suffered by John Cena at the Royal Rumble at the hands of the Big Show. RATING: 82 (B) Notes: None. ____________________________________________ With Torrie Wilson and Paul Heyman in the room, John Cena walks in with a heavy knee brace on, ready to draw his number. Before Cena is able to look at his number, Heyman stops him. Paul Heyman: Wait wait, John. I saw your injury out there last night and it looked pretty severe. As your General Manager, I am required to make sure that every superstar that I send out to that ring has been medically cleared to-- John Cena: I'm goin' out there tonight, Paul. And I'm gonna win the Battle Royal. You think a little knee injury is gonna stop John Cena? I'm the Franchise, ain't nothing's gonna stop me from going to No Way Out to face Brock Lesnar. I'm goin' out there tonight and I'm gonna smack the Big Show around and toss him right out the ring. So get ready Paul. Because the Doctor of Thuganomics is about to go to work. Cena looks at his number and walks out. RATING: 84 (B+) Notes: Cena's stock is rising. Fast. ____________________________________________ Brock Lesnar is backstage with his championship slung over his shoulder and Josh Matthews is interviewing him. Josh asks about his attack on Goldberg at the Royal Rumble. Brock Lesnar: Attack? What do you mean, attack? Goldberg should've kept his eyes open at all times he should've been the one watching his back. Not me. I'm the champ. I taught Hardcore Holly a lesson in hardcore in that match on Sunday. No one is gonna be able to take this title from me. As a matter of fact, I'm gonna go out to that ring right now, and whoever wants to face me for the title has a chance. That's right, anyone in the locker room. It could even be you, Josh! Brock chuckles to himself and leaves. We have a commercial break and Lesnar is making his way to the ring. As he gets into it, his opponent is ready to come out. RATING: 89 (A) Notes: Brock actually improvised pretty well. ____________________________________________ http://i.imgur.com/AWzRRQGs.jpg%5Bimg%5D vs. http://i.imgur.com/MQwofn0.jpg Rikishi vs. Brock Lesnar © Despite his 100+ pound weight advantage, Rikishi stood no chance against the faster, stronger, and more focused WWE Champion. Brock looked really impressive here, lifting the big man for a powerful F-5. RATING: 73 (B-) Notes: 10:01. These guys had poor psychology. ____________________________________________ Backstage, cameramen are running throughout the locker room area to find Chavo and Eddie Guerrero brawling with one another. Despite it being relatively even, Chavo eventually gets the upper hand by tossing his uncle directly into the concrete wall. This causes him to gush blood as official separate the two. Eddie is knocked out on the ground just moments before the battle royal! RATING: 76 (B-) Notes: None. ____________________________________________ http://i.imgur.com/WtzzVL1.jpg 15-Man Battle Royal This match saw all of the 15 men from the Royal Rumble match getting in the ring once more to toss each other over the top rope. A notable elimination before the final four was Eddie Guerrero, who was taken out by The Big Show because he was too beaten to continue. The Final Four were the Big Show, Chris Benoit, John Cena, and Kurt Angle. Cena, leg brace and all, tried to lift the Big Show up for an F-U to eliminate him, but Show fell on top of him and Cena's knee buckled! Show tossed Cena over the top. Eventually, Angle ended up looking to eliminate the Big Show, and while he had him about halfway over, Benoit snuck up behind him and eliminated him as well as the Big Show by his leg! Chris Benoit is going to No Way Out! RATING: 86 (B+) Notes: 15:43. A couple of guys looked better out there, including Charlie Haas with his Rumble skill and Chuck Palumbo with his fast paced Flying skills. ____________________________________________ Chris Benoit spends time celebrating his victory, looking into the raucous crowd! After he poses on each turnbuckle, he jumps off and looks down the ramp -- where WWE Champion Brock Lesnar stands. Lesnar quietly raises the championship belt as Benoit flashes a toothless grin, nods, and motions to his waist as the show goes off the air! RATING: 93 (A) Notes: None. ____________________________________________ OVERALL SHOW RATING: 87 (B+) Notes: This show increased our popularity in 18 regions.

WWE Monday Night RAW: Monday, Week 2, February 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 2, February 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: 91 (A) Notes: None. ____________________________________________ The theme song of Shawn Michaels hits and the crowd goes wild as he makes his way to the ring. Still looking bruised from his Last Man Standing match, he walks down the aisle and grabs a microphone. Shawn Michaels: Eight nights ago at the Royal Rumble, I was put through hell. I was beaten by Triple H, I was battered, and most importantly, I was defeated. But I showed at the Rumble that there is no man that can push Triple H further than "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels. And we all know that there's no one that can put on a better show on the Grandest Stage of them All, WrestleMania! And that's why I came out here to propose that "The Heartbreak Kid"...takes on Triple H...at WrestleMania XX at Madison Square Garden! The crowd explodes at the possibility of another match that they got at the Royal Rumble. "Glass Shatters" hits and Sheriff Austin comes out to the ring! He gets in and stares down Michaels before picking up a microphone himself. Steve Austin: Now before you go on about all your little accomplishments and your career and all that bullcrap, I thought I'd come out and let you know that we already have a number one contender, Shawn. RVD won the Royal Rumble and he's gonna face Triple H at WrestleMania. If you so much as stick your nose in my main event, I'm gonna beat your ass in and out of the arena and make sure that you never get a title shot again! Now listen up Shawn because I want to see that piece a' trash lose the title as much as you do. So here's what you can do. You can go backstage and you can tell RVD that you've got his back. Keep fighting for him. Even the odds against Triple H and his little sidekicks. But if you so much as lay a finger on either of those guys before WrestleMania, there will be hell to pay. And that's the bottom line, because Stone Cold said so! Austin leaves, having sent a direct message to Michaels, who looks contemplative as he stands in the ring. RATING: 100 (A*) Notes: Both of them were fantastic. ____________________________________________ http://i.imgur.com/UwmRujZ.jpg vs. http://i.imgur.com/LNweF2L.jpg The Hurricane vs. Robert Conway In a bit of a surprising victory, The Hurricane surprised Robert Conway after an Eye of the Hurricane! RATING: 65 © Notes: 8:12. These two had pretty good chemistry. ____________________________________________ Backstage, Kane is standing by with Todd Grisham. Todd Grisham: I'm standing by here with Kane, and Kane, what were your thoughts on that eerie video that played during your match last week? Kane's eyes flicker as he turns and stares evilly at Grisham. Kane: What did you say...? Todd Grisham: Th-that video. From last week-- Kane grabs Grisham's throat and tosses him away from the set. The camera follows him as he picks him up and tosses him into a concrete wall! Grisham is doubled over as medical officials swarm him. Kane runs away holding his head and screaming. RATING: 81 (B) Notes: Kane came across pretty well. ____________________________________________ World Tag Team Champion Ric Flair is leaving his locker room as he's stopped by another half of a tag team -- Bubba Ray Dudley. Bubba Ray Dudley: Yo Ric, I've got something to say to you. I want you to know that once my brother's injury is all healed up and he's back here next week...we're coming for those belts. This ain't over, Ric. We ain't gonna stop until those belts are ours. Bubba Ray walks off as Flair snickers. RATING: 86 (B+) Notes: Bubba Ray actually did a really good job. ____________________________________________ http://i.imgur.com/mRzXEDO.jpg vs. http://i.imgur.com/v60XcQd.jpg Bubba Ray Dudley vs. Test Despite putting up a valiant effort, Bubba Ray Dudley fell to Test after a Pumphandle Slam. RATING: 67 (C+) Notes: 8:06. They've got some pretty good chemistry. ____________________________________________ Trish Stratus is walking around backstage. She looks for Chris Jericho's locker room and finds it -- with "TRISH STAY OUT" written on a piece of paper outside of it. She rolls her eyes and keeps walking. RATING: 84 (B+) Notes: None. ____________________________________________ http://i.imgur.com/IlRTerV.jpg http://i.imgur.com/LFUYASI.jpg vs. http://i.imgur.com/6iaSSHI.jpg Victoria vs. Molly Holly © Although she lost a couple of tag team matches, Molly Holly retains her belt with a surprise inside cradle over the challenger. RATING: 43 (D) Notes: 8:29. ____________________________________________ Inside the ring, Randy Orton stands with his Intercontinental Championship and a microphone. Randy Orton: Foley! Get your ass out here! I know you're backstage! I want you to come down here and try to do what you did last week! Come on! Orton angrily paces around the ring and Mick Foley's music hits and he stands at the top of the ramp, microphone in hand. Mick Foley: You want me to come down there and beat your ass all over this arena again, Randy? I'm an old man, I don't have the stamina I once did as a chipper young boy in Bloomington, Indiana -- why don't you come on up here and face me in my environment? Steel, weapons, and objects, why don't you come on over here? Orton hardly takes a second to oblige him and begins running down the ramp. Foley meets him and the two trade blows. Foley seems to get the advantage by tossing Orton headfirst into the RAW set, but Orton fires back with a huge low blow! Orton puts the boots to Foley and throws Foley around a little bit. He hits him with a camera before lifting him up for a big RKO on the ramp! Orton leaves Foley there and walks backstage. RATING: 90 (A) Notes: None. ____________________________________________ http://i.imgur.com/w3hYP6p.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/5LnPh1c.jpg vs. http://i.imgur.com/dhDKZ5h.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/9bHsEeH.jpg Lance Storm and Val Venis vs. Vitamin C In this all-Canadian affair, Christian was able to pick up the win for his team, defeating Val Venis with the Unprettier. RATING: 68 (C+) Notes: 8:29. Lance Storm's brawling is getting better. ____________________________________________ Backstage, Goldberg is walking until he finds Sheriff Austin's door. He walks in. Steve Austin: What the hell do you want? Goldberg: Listen up Austin! I want you to get me in the ring with Brock Lesnar. I don't care when it is, I don't care where it is! Austin grins and looks at him. Steve Austin: Now I know you're a little blue about what happened at the Royal Rumble, Bill, but I'm not gonna get you in the ring with Brock Lesnar. Goldberg looks as if he's ready to fight, when Austin pulls out a small piece of paper. Steve Austin: Now before you get your little panties in a bunch, I'm gonna tell you what I am gonna do for ya, Billy. This right here, is a front row ticket to No Way Out in 13 days. It's yours. Now see yourself out of my office before you overstay your welcome. Goldberg looks at the ticket as we go to commercial. RATING: 92 (A) Notes: None. ____________________________________________ http://i.imgur.com/f5xpIIr.jpg vs. http://i.imgur.com/YmY5eVp.jpg Booker T vs. Scott Steiner In a solid matchup that was a throwback to the WCW days, Scott Steiner picked up the victory. He landed a huge low blow behind the referee's back and was able to roll up Booker for the win! RATING: 74 (B-) Notes: 10:18. ____________________________________________ Backstage, Triple H is talking to Batista, who's preparing for his match, while the announcers hype the matchup with Rob Van Dam! RATING: 88 (B+) Notes: None. ____________________________________________ http://i.imgur.com/kM2rZgU.jpg vs. http://i.imgur.com/icDcXGF.jpg Rob Van Dam vs. Batista w/Triple H Another week, another disqualification victory for Rob Van Dam. As he went up for the Five Star Frog Splash, Triple H got up on the apron and blasted him with the World Heavyweight Championship! RATING: 73 (B-) Notes: 10:55. Batista looked pretty winded at the end, but his Technical skills are getting better. ____________________________________________ In a similar fashion to last week, the two members of Evolution begin to destroy RVD. The challenger stands no chance, as no cavalry comes down this time. Batista holds up Van Dam as Triple H puts a series of right hands to his skull. Throughout the beatdown, he spits insults at his challenger, showing him his championship belt. No Goldberg this time. No Booker T. No Shawn Michaels. Triple H hits the finishing blow, a Pedigree in the middle of the ring. Rob Van Dam is motionless as the show ends! RATING: 90 (A) Notes: None. ____________________________________________ OVERALL SHOW RATING: 83 (B+) Notes: This show increased our popularity in 18 regions.
