411’s WWE Raw Report 9.26.05

September 26, 2005 | Posted by Derek Martin

Cue the Monday Night Raw intro! Cue pyros! Cue crazy fans screaming at the top of their lungs! Cue JR welcoming us to MONDAY NIGHT RAW!!

And we are most definitely live from Waco, Texas! He’s Jim Ross alongside Jerry “the King” Lawler and the Coach. The main event tonight features Shawn Michaels and John Cena taking on Carlito and Chris Masters in a table’s match.

**No Chance That’s What You’ve Got**

And here is the chairman of the WWE, Vince McMahon!!

Give that man a microphone!

Vince: Well tonight’s gonna be a historic here tonight on Monday Night Raw. Matter of fact we’re gonna start things off with a championship match here shortly. This marks the last broadcast on SpikeTV. Many of you will recall when we left USA network what was then known as the Nashville network, then the National network, then SpikeTV. I’d like to see we’ve been some pretty good tag partners. I’d like to take this opportunity to thank Spike for being such a good partner, but next week Monday Night Raw returns home. Three hours of the biggest homecoming ceremony you have ever witnessed including among other things John Cena the WWE Champion. John Cena defends against Raw’s very own general manager, Eric Bischoff. In addition to that…..

Interrupting Mr. McMahon is the music of the only Olympic Gold medallist in WWE history, Kurt Angle.

Angle on the mic: You know something Vince – I heard you talking about the WWE championship match next week for WWE”s homecoming. I had to admit I was a little bit upset that you picked the general manager, Eric Bischoff, instead of me. I mean, come on! Then I started to think – so I came out here to clarify something. As you already know I defeated John Cena at Unforgiven so I deserve a shot. I beat John Cena! So I get first dibs at the WWE championship. Whoever wins next week – whether it be Eric Bischoff or John Cena – I face the champion for the WWE Championship. Am I right or am I right?

Vince: Kurt you make a decent point. I mean yes you’re qualified no question to that. You’re a former champion and I would suggest you are in line for another – yes, you’re an Olympic Gold medallist as well.

Angle: Then I’ll settle for it….

**Oh…oh….Shawn***

Vince: Ladies and gentlemen, the Heartbreak Kid, Shawn Michaels!
Shawn: Hold on a second moneybags I just want to clear something up here. You’re giving the Olympic guy all the championship matches, and it was because he was victorious at Unforgiven. Because if that is what would put someone in line for a WWE Title match then – I won at Unforgiven I want a title match.

Kurt: Are you kidding me? Give me a break. I think the Master Lock cut off the circulation from your brain. In case you forgot I defeated John Cena at Unforgiven. And you obviously forgot something else. Something much more important to you. (HBK Chants) I want each and every one of you to hear this. Remember Wrestlemania because I made your ass tap out!

Shawn: **Laughing** Cut off my blood flow to what? I remember Wrestlemania – I was there, I was there. But do you remember Vengeance? A little Sweet Chin Music – HBK’s hand raised in victory. We’re even Steven!

Kurt: Yeah well I beat you first.

Shawn: Is that the games we’re gonna play?

Vince: Wait a minute. I’m gonna solve our problem. Next week at homecoming it’s gonna be Kurt Angle vs. Shawn Michaels for a rubber match. I assure you the outcome of this match will go a long way to find out just who will be facing the WWE Champion. But this shouldn’t be an ordinary match. This should be a 30 minute Iron Man Match. But that’s next week. I promised you a championship match to kick things off here. Here we go – bring em on down!

**Trish Stratus’ music hits**

Trish Stratus is being accompanied to the squared circle by Ashley. She will take on Victoria NEXT!

WWE Slam of the Week brought to you by Juicy Drop Pop is Trish beating the piss out of Torrie Wilson last week then the attack by PMS 2k5 on Trish and Ashley.

Coach has just been informed by Spike TV that they are censoring them or something. I couldn’t hear because….well….because they are censoring them. Go to WWE.com if you want to see what was censored.

**WOOOOOOO….**

And here is the Intercontinental Champion of the World, the Nature Boy – Ric Flair!

Flair: It’s no secret that I’ve been beaten down in my career before. Hell, I’ve been jumped from behind more times than I can count. But one of the things that makes the Nature Boy special. He always comes back and he always gets even. Everybody knows that I’ve had friends in this business. Back in the day it was the Four Horseman. Nowadays – it takes just one. One what – wait just a minute I’ll be right back.

Flair heads to the back, and he comes back with a sledgehammer!

Flair: Next week at WWE Homecoming the Nature Boy gets even. It’s the return of Triple H (mixed reaction)– the greatest wrestler alive today and my best friend! Game on! WOOOO!!

Flair points to the big screen, and we get a nice little video montage of The Game. If they think they’re gonna bring him back as a face, and everyone will love him they have another thing coming if the reaction by these fans in Waco tonight means anything.

Eric Bischoff in the back on the phone. He’s talking about the Homecoming again. He’s not too happy about his match with Cena I take. And the Champ is here! John Cena tells the person on the phone he’ll call them back.

Cena: Next week – Homecoming. John Cena versus Eric Bischoff for the WWE Title. I know about you Mr. Karate man. Mr. Kung Fu Master! I went on the Internet and Eric Bischoff is a ninja in four states. It means next week at Homecoming you’d better bring your black belt, your samurai sword, your nunchucks, and your stars. Because it’s gonna be you, Eric Bischoff – Kung Fu Master – against the champ, John Cena. Give me a picture of your face because this is the last time you’re gonna be able to see it like this.

Cena leaves……nope he’s back and he scares the commish.

Cena: I know Kung Fu too – partna!

In the ring some dude is setting up a ladder, and we’ll find out what that is about NEXT!

Ad Break

We’re back with that ladder still in the ring.

**You Think You Know Me….**

And there they are – America’s favorite couple (or at least mine – they made me give a damn about Matt Hardy)….Lita and Edge.

Lita: Poor Matt Hardy. You know he thinks he actually accomplished something by giving me the Twist of Fate. No wait – he did. He proved how big of a loser he is. We’re gonna be just fine without ya. We’re moving on. I know a lot about Twists of Fate. I might have spoke too soon. I don’t know if these pathetic losers are ready to move on. As I was saying – I know a lot about Twists of Fate. Some can be really vicious, yeah. Others – rather ironic. Because it was five years ago – does it ring a bell, Matt. Right here on the very first episode of Raw on Spike TV. It was Edge and Christian and the Hardy Boyz in a ladder match for the tag team titles. And there I was – proud as I could be to support my man. My, my, my how things have changed.

Edge: One week Matt. Seven days. You know each rung on this ladder could represent the days left in your career. See, next week WWE comes home and once again Edge and Matt Hardy are gonna tear their bodies apart in a ladder match. Only this time the stakes are far greater than the Tag team titles. Even greater than a shot at the WWE championship. For the guy who doesn’t grab that briefcase he loses everything. He loses his life blood. His only reason for being. He loses his career. And next week, Matt – I become a career killer. No more bitching and moaning and whining and complaining on the internet. Next week – Loser Leaves Raw! Chant Hardy all you want! You know Matt – Matt says he will not die, he will not die! Well, when it comes to do or die situations I thrive. How do you think I got that Money in the Bank in the first place. Because it’s one-on-one in ladder matches I don’t lose. I never have and I never will. You see Matt in life there’s winners and there’s losers. Me? I’m a winner (laughs). That’s why that pretty lady is with me now and not you. And Matt – in this story you’re the loser! Nothing but a loser. An underachiever. Every opportunity that has come your way you’ve blown it. So Matt Hardy – why are things gonna change? How are you gonna hold off the inevitable. You can’t….

Matt Hardy interrupts this kick ass promo by threatening to push Edge off the ladder. But Matt stops and leaves Edge sitting atop the ladder. He backs away, and tells Edge one week. But he’s back in the ring! And he’s pushing and there goes Edge off the ladder!! That was a tough fall there.

Wow – Spike TV continues to censor the words, USA. What a bunch of faggots. I hope they love their Rhino/Jeff Hardy main event.

Bischoff is still in the back, and there’s Teddy Long! Teddy came to talk to Eric about next week’s homecoming show. Teddy says – “you and I, we’re two bidness men.” He wants some Smackdown exposure next week. Bischoff refuses, but here’s Vinnie Mac! Vince agrees with Teddy. Vince tells him to put a match together, announce it on Friday night, and we will get us some Smackdown flava next week!

Bischoff tries to convince Vince to change his mind about his match next week. Vince relives Eric almost tearing down WWE with his WCW creation. He tells Eric he has some friends and is ‘one of the most ruthless sons of bitches – and that’s a good thing.’ Eric is starting to feel a little better about this match now.

Don’t forget about the tag team table’s match in the main event!

Big splash by Viscera on Murdoch. Money Shot by Val! 1….2…..but Cade stops the referee from counting three. And that’s a DQ!

WINNERS: Val Venis and Viscera (3:39) via DQ

Carlito speaking Spanish in the back to Masters. Carlito isn’t very happy about the tables match. Masters can’t understand Carlito – he’s worried about splinters. Can he imagine what could happen to this Masterpiece of a body? Masters has the Master Plan. Those two are working pretty well together.
