411’s Live WWE Raw Coverage 05.24.04: Edge Vs Ric Flair

This is Dave Gagnon. This is WWE Raw, May 24th 2004.

Yeah, I’m now the official go-to guy when PK can’t do the RAW live coverage. I’m the B-Team of the 411’s Live Raw Coverage! I hope you’ll enjoy the live coverage tonight!

Video recap of last week’s battle royale. Gee, I wonder if HHH will be pissed about what happened.

Backstage, HHH is with Evolution. He complains to Bischoff. Bischoff tells him that a match against Shawn Michaels is scheduled for Bad Blood. HHH then turns to Evolution and blames them for what happened last week. He wants to see unity in Evolution tonight. He also asks Batista to stay around.

We are live from Rockford, IL. Your hosts are Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler. Screw the intros! And we start with a match…

1st match: Ric Flair vs Edge
We see Edge’s disturbing purple thong he wore two weeks ago in a pre-match video. Feeling out process to start until Flair chops Edge. Edge comes back with right hands. Baaaack body drop by Edge. He then clotheslines Flair out of the ring. He bodyslams him on the floor. Flair comes back in the ring and begs for mercy but Edge wants none of that. Edge counters an atomic drop and clotheslines Flair. Orton distracts him and Flair uses the thumb to the eye to get the upper hand. Slow offense by Naitch. Kneedrop on Edge, which he sells like a shot in the head. Technical difficulties at home…we come back with Orton interfering. Shelton Benjamins runs in for the save. Edge spears Flair for the win.
