411’s LIVE Raw Coverage 07.12.04: Eugene And Uncle Eric / Diva Search / Rhyno Vs. Conway

Eugene visits Uncle Eric, who is furious not with Eugene, but with those blaming Eugene for last night. Eric isn’t mad. In fact, he’s proud of Eugene. Eric is now convinced, and believes that Eugene is cut out for the wrestling business. Tonight, it’s going to be Eugene vs. Chris Benoit… For the World Heavyweight Title. Eric hugs Eugene, who is unaware of Eric’s plans.

I go to grab coffee, and when I come back, it’s the fucking Raw Diva Search bullshit. And not just a video. This is Jerry Lawler bringing out three of the women throughout the night, and absolute shit happening. Right now, the slut on the screen can touch her tongue to her nose. I’m impressed that her tongue isn’t stained white by this point.

That ugly kid interviews Ric Flair, who echoes Triple H’s sentiment when he says that he wishes Eugene the best of luck. He hates encountering freaks, and with a WOOSH sound effect accompanying him, Hurricane comes in, Flair’s book in tow. He wishes for an autograph, but that’s not going to happen. Flair tells Helms that he knows that his real name is “Gregory Helms,” and he knows that since he’s in the business, and became something while he is just a joke. Hurricane says it wasn’t as good as Rock, Hogan, or even Chyna’s book, nor is it number one like Foley’s book. Hurricane gets decked for that comment. If the Sugar Babies were behind him, there’s no way Flair would mess with him.

Rhyno (w/Tajiri) vs. Robert Conway (w/Sylvian Grenier) – Rhyno and Tajiri interrupt the Canadian National Anthem. Rhyno and Conway exchange fists. Rhyno hiptosses Conway, but Sylvian provides the necessary distraction to allow Rhyno to be sent to the floor. Sylvian pounds away on the outside. Rhyno comes back with clothesline and a backdrop that get two. Back suplex from Conway gets two. Rhyno rebounds with a spinebuster that gets two. Sylvian tries to interfere, but Tajiri kicks him in the head. GORE GORE GORE gives Rhyno the win at roughly 3:00. Wow, that was just way too incredibly short what they needed to accomplish.
