411’s LIVE Raw Coverage 08.29.05 | John Cena Is Confronted By Kurt Angle

John Cena is here! “I’m fired up tonight!” Pop? “I mean, hell, my damn haircut’s too cheap, the gas is way too expensive, 50 Cent cursin’ like a sailor over at the VMAs, and last week, I get attacked by a red, white and blue Tasmanian devil. Frothin’ at the mouth, hell, I saw nothing but arms and teeth. And that’s the bad news.

“The good news — I jut saved a bunch of money on my car insurance.” Heh. “And the great news? After last week, the champ is still here! But the plot thickens. Kurt Angle is now the #1 contender for this WWE Championship. Kurt, I’ve never backed down from a fight in my life, and I’ll be damned if I start tonight. You want some? Come get some.”

After a dramatic pause, Kurt Angle is here! Crowd tells him he’s not very good. “Cena, I must have damaged your brain more than I thought I did last week. You’re calling me out? Ha ha ha ha. You don’t want none of this. Let me refresh your memory of the last time you and I were in the ring together. Show the footage.”

And, indeed, Angle beats down Cena after his match last week with the Angle Slam and poses with the belt.

“Now, if you think I’m just gonna walk down this aisle and get in that ring with you now, you’re dumber than you look, because there’s now ay in hell that I’m going to jeopardize my chance at winning the WWE Championship at Unforgiven. I got news for you, Cena. With all due respect, I’m not Chris Jericho. You’re looking at a man that was inducted into teh National Wrestling Hall of Fame. You’re looking at a man who won an Olympic gold medal wit a broken neck in freestyle wrestling. I got more wrestling ability in my pinky finger than you have in your whole entire damn body! I mean, come on, Cena, how long you been wrestling, what, 5, 6 years tops? I’ve been wrestling my whole entire damn life. And in case you haven’t noticed, I’m at the top of my game. I made Shawn Michaels tap out at Wrsetelmania 21, I made Eugene tap out just like that at Summerslam, and I took a very highly regarded wrestler named Shelton Benjamin and I made his ass tap out just like that last week on Raw!” [“Asshole!”] “Let me tell you, Cena, the reason I’m on a roll is because I’m more relentless, I’m more vicious than I’ve ever been in my life, and I want that WWET more than I’ve ever wanted it in my whole entire career. And most of all, I just don’t give a damn about anybody or anything or anything that gets in the way of me!”

“Wait. Wait.”

“Shut your mouth! At Unforgiven, I’m gonna end your little charade of you running around with the WWE Championship when I make your ass tap out as well. You moron street thug punk!”

“Why the hostility, Kurt? Why you drinkin’ all the haterade — whoa, whoa, wait. Did you — did you say you won a gold medal? Man, I didn’t, I didn’t know that. I guess, gold medal, wrestling, hall of fame, I don’t think I got much of a chance in this one, man. No, I’m seriouis, I’m starting to think I’m a little over my head.” Cena runs down Angle’s accomplishments again. “But I’m still calling your ass out!”

“You want a piece of me? You want a piece of me, Cena?” Angle drops the mic. King says Cena shouldn’t jeopardize his career like this, and he references Suge Knight!!! But Angle walks back up the ramp. He passes the microphone. [“You suck!”]

Angle: “You don’t think I can go down there and kick his ass? Are you kidding me?” Angle heads back to the apron as Cena waits. Angle backs down again. “I’m sorry, I forgot, last week I totally forgot, man, stop, stop, I know that you like to hit guys from behind. Heyo. Hey, shame on you, shame, shame, nobody’s judging you, Kurt, but I’ll tell you what — I’m just gonna do this…” He turns around and bends over. “Y’know, put the vibe out there, you can do whatever you want, you know. Nobody’s watching us. What do you think?”

And Angle attacks and gets a double-leg takedown. Angle goes for the ankle lock… Cena fights it… and kicks Angle off. Cena wants some more. Angle gets on the apron, but “Vigilant” Mike Chioda & Chad Patton restrain him, and that’s all for this little confrontation. Cena poses with the belt.
