411’s LIVE Monday Night Raw Coverage 02.27.06: Edge, Lita, and Mick Foley
Last Monday Vince McMahon set up a 4-on-1 match with Shawn Michaels taking on the Spirit Squad. Shawn got some Sweet Chin Music, but then the entire Spirit Squad attacked and got DQ’ed. Marty saved his life, and now Marty has to kiss Vince’s ass if he wants to join the WWE.
Cue the Raw intro. Cue pyrotechnics. Cue thousands of screaming fans. All this can only mean one thing – MONDAY NIGHT RAW!
Joey Styles welcomes us to another edition of Raw LIVE from Washington D.C. Coach tells us about his exclusive interview with John Cena tonight. King tells us about the WWE Women’s Title match featuring Trish and Candace.
**You think you know me…..**
Edge and Lita appear from a cloud of smoke and make their way to the ring. Uhhh…I’m pretty sure I just saw Lita’s nipple.
Edge on the mic: Times up Mick Foley. It’s been a week since I challenged you – you and me, Edge and Foley at Wrestlemania. So what is it? Yes or no? You see I don’t know what you’ve got planned for April 2nd. I don’t know if you’re gonna whore yourself out at another indy show. I don’t know if you’re gonna write another book that nobody’s gonna read. But surely this has to be your best option. So what’s it gonna be, Mick? What is it gonna be? Just like I thought….baby, get the tickets out. You see what Lita is holding in her hands is two plane tickets to Long Island. And Mick we can be there by midnight. And I’ll do it – I’ll do it because I should be main eventing at Wrestlemania and it’s your fault that I’m not. So Mick – if you’re not man enough to show up then it looks like Lita and I are gonna have to make ourselves a little house call.
**Foley’s music hits**
Mick Foley is here with a microphone.
Foley: Edge, you’ve got it all wrong. It’s not that I’m not man enough to come all the way to…Washington D.C. It’s just that it was you that lost to John Cena at the Royal Rumble. It was you that lost to John Cena two weeks ago on Raw. So if you’re looking for someone to blame Edge. Don’t blame me, blame yourself. Because you had it and you…choked.
Edge: The only choking that’s gonna happen is my hands on your throat at Wrestlemania 22. So what is it – yes or no? Yes or no, Foley?
Foley: No – you see awhile back you called me a transitional champion. But it so happens I was a transitional champion on three separate occasions therefore making me the greatest transitional champion of all time. So I’m saying no because I have nothing to prove to you…
Edge: Yeah – nothing to prove. That’s right, because you’re the great Mick Foley. (FOLEY chants) Shut up! Well if I’m the Rated R Superstar…..then you’re Rated O. Rated O for Overrated. You see Mick – you’re not gonna be remembered for your three title wins. Oh, you’ll be remembered for three things. Number one – having your ear ripped off. Number two – being thrown off the Hell in a Cell. And number three showing up in Vince McMahon’s hospital room with a damn sock puppet. Mick, Mick – you’re pathetic! And Mick – you do have a lot to prove because you’ve never won at Wrestlemania.
Foley: That’s not true, Edge.
Edge: It is true – you’ve had your countouts and disqualifications and dumpster matches that nobody even remembers. But you’ve never had that classic, legend making Wrestlemania performance that you crave. Yeah, it’s true folks. But me – the Rated R Superstar, I’ve never lost at Wrestlemania. Oh yeah – triangle ladder matches, TLC matches, Money in the Bank matches – I won in my hometown of Toronto. But that’s ok Mick. I get it now. Tuck your tail between your legs because you know if you fought me at Wrestlemania, you’d lose!
Foley: You’re right – if I had a wrestling match with you at Wrestlemania I would lose. You’re younger, you’re in better shape, and apparently you care a whole hell of a lot more about me than I do about you. But you’re right – I’ve never had that one defining Wrestlemania moment. I’ve known it for a long time. So while I reject your challenge for a wrestling match at Wrestlemania – I’d like to challenge you to another match. Where there are no rules, no disqualifications, and no excuses! So, here’s my offer – you and me at Wrestlemania in a hardcore match! What’s it gonna be Edge? Yes or no? Just in case you need to make up your mind I’m going to give you a little bit of help. (Foley heads to the back and comes back with a baseball bat wrapped in barbed wire)
Foley comes to the ring, but Edge and Lita hit the road into the crowd and out of the building.
Big Show and Kane walk in the back. They will defend the titles NEXT!
