Monday Night Raw is being broadcast
from
the Cajundome
On
the USA Network.
Ringside announcers: Jim Ross & Jerry “The King”
Lawler
Ring announcer: Lillian Garcia
Two weeks ago on Raw, John Cena was in charge of the Raw main
event. Last week on Raw, it was
Randy Orton’s turn to be in charge of the main event and this week, The Game
Triple H is in charge. Lawler informs the audience that it will be John Cena and
Randy Orton against The Entire Raw Roster tonight.
Y2J Chris Jericho is in the ring and he welcomes the audience
to Raw and the Highlight Reel. Jericho introduces his first guest, the WWE
Intercontinental Championship, which Jericho won last week in a match against
Jeff Hardy. This is Jericho’s seventh time as the WWE Intercontinental
Champion. Jericho introduces his second guest, the person who will face Floyd
“Money” Mayweather at Wrestlemania, the largest athlete in the world, The
Big Show.
Big Show enters the ring. JR reminds the audience that Big
Show weighed in last week at 441 lbs. And Mayweather weighed in at 159 lbs.
Jericho introduces the video of last week’s confrontation between Big Show and
Mayweather – Mayweather gets tossed over the top rope on top of wrestlers
standing around the ring and Shane McMahon gets knocked down to the floor
outside the ring. Big Show tells Jericho that the clip just shows how no one
likes Mayweather. Big Show tells Jericho that even though Jericho is bigger than
Mayweather, everyone knows that Jericho wouldn’t last in the ring with Big
Show for more than two minutes so what chance does Mayweather have? The audience
responds with chants of Y2J and Jericho says that even though he agrees with Big
Show, everyone still thinks Big Show is a jackass. Jericho says that Big Show
may not be as big a jackass as Mayweather but he is a jackass just the same and
as far as this two minute nonsense goes, he is not talking to Mayweather, he is
talking to Y2J who is the first undisputed champion in WWE history. Jericho has
beat The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin in the same night to do so and at
Wrestlemania when he is climbing the ladder to get the briefcase, Big Show will
be climbing around on the floor for the teeth that Mayweather has knocked out of
Big Show’s job. Big Show calls Jericho “Napoleon”.
Big Show he is thinking Big Show versus Jericho for the WWE
Intercontinental title tonight. Jericho thinks about it and says he is bringing
sexy back to the WWE. Jericho says that this is the Highlight Reel and anything
goes, so tonight it will be Big Show versus Jericho for the WWE Intercontinental
title.
This may be the shortest WWE Intercontinental title reign in
history.
JR says that the Chairman of the WWE has some comments to
make and Vince McMahon is on the monitor to brag about his star on the Hollywood
Walk of Fame. McMahon says he will be on the Larry King Show this Wednesday (the
previous show with WWE was cancelled last week) and he is celebrating St.
Patrick’s Day today and on top of that McMahon could end Ric Flair’s career
tonight. McMahon says tonight it will be one on one McMahon versus Ric Flair and
tonight will be Flair’s last match. It will be a street fight.
Commercial break.
CM Punk from Chicago, IL, weighing 222 lbs.
Representing WWE ECW
Vs.
Carlito from the Caribbean, weighing 220 lbs.
Audience favorite: CM Punk
My favorite: I like them both
JR reminds the audience the participants of the Money in
the Bank Ladder Match at Wrestlemania XXIV are
The Gold Standard Shelton Benjamin
Carlito
CM Punk
Y2J Chris Jericho
John Morrison
M.V.P, and
Mr. Kennedy
They lock up in the center of the ring and Carlito pushes
Punk toward the ring post but the audience is chanting “CM Punk” and Punk
backs Carlito up into the center of the ring. Carlito shoves Punk back and
glares at the live audience. Punk points to the Wrestlemania sign hanging above
the audience. Punk delivers a kick to the abdomen and then another kick before
delivering a stunning kick to the chest of Carlito. Punk goes for another kick
but Carlito ducks and Punk misses his mark. Carlito sends Punk through the ropes
and out to the floor on his back. That didn’t sound good. The referee starts
his count. Punk tries to get back in the ring and Carlito drags Punk in and then
delivers a fist that drops Punk back down to the canvas. Carlito picks Punk up
and slams him headfirst into the top turnbuckle. Carlito goes to work on Punk
who is trapped in the corner as the ref tries to get Carlito to back up. The ref
grabs Carlito and shoves him back toward the center of the ring but comes back
with a short dropkick to Punk who is down in the corner. Carlito picks up Punk
and again tries to slam him head first into the top turnbuckle but Punk gets a
boot up and blocks it. Punk nails Carlito with an elbow to the midsection and a
fist to the face before going after Carlito’s jaw with forearms. Punk sends
Carlito across the ring and into the opposite corner post. Punk goes for what
appears to be a high kick but Carlito sends him up and over the top rope. Punk
lands on the ring apron and sends a shoulder block into Carlito’s gut through
the ropes. Punk goes for another shoulder block but Carlito brings up a boot and
kicks Punk in the side of the head. Punk falls through the ropes and back into
the ring as the ref backs Carlito up. Carlito goes for the cover but he only
gets a two count before Punk powers out. Carlito works on Punk’s back, using
his knee for extra leverage. Punk makes it back to his feet, drops down and
rolls Carlito up, going for the pin. Punk gets a two count before Carlito rolls
him off across the ring. Both men are back to their feet and Punk goes for the
clothesline. Carlito ducks underneath and springboards off the middle rope
delivering an elbow. Carlito goes for the pin but Carlito only gets a two count
before Punk kicks out. Carlito straddles Punk and delivers fists to Punk’s
face and head until the ref makes him break. Carlito again goes for a cover and
again gets a two count before Punk gets his shoulder of the mat. Carlito has
Punk in a face lock but Punk won’t give up. Carlito stands up and comes down
with an elbow to the top of Punk’s skull. Carlito goes back to work on
Punk’s neck but Punk refuses to quit. Punk gets back to his feet and sends a
knee into Carlito’s midsection. Carlito returns the favor. Carlito attempts to
deliver a suplex but Punk goes up and over Carlito’s back, shoves Carlito into
the ring post and then nails him with a high knee. Punk follows up with a
bulldog and goes for the cover. It was almost a three count before Carlito
manages to kick out. Punk doesn’t believe the ref when he says it was only a
two count. Punk goes out to the floor, climbs up to the top turnbuckle and
springboards off the top ropes. Carlito delivers a dropkick that catches Punk in
midair. Carlito tries for a pin but Punk kicks out. Punk makes it back to his
feet and Carlito catches him but Punk hangs onto the ropes and Carlito hits the
mat. Punk picks Carlito up and tries for the GTS but Carlito breaks away and
delivers a swinging neck breaker. Carlito goes for the cover and gets a two
count before Punk gets a shoulder off the mat. Carlito is back to his feet
first, he picks Punk up, Punk shoves him back and delivers a high kick to the
back of Carlito’s head. Carlito goes down and now both men are down on the
mat. The ref starts a count and gets to three before they are back to their
feet, Punk in the ring and Carlito on the ring apron. Carlito delivers a
shoulder block to Punk’s abdomen and then uses the top ropes to try to go over
Punk. Punk catches Carlito as he comes over the ropes and this time Punk hits
the GTS, goes for the pin and gets the win.
Winner
CM
Punk
Holy crap! I haven’t enjoyed a match on RAW so much for a
long time. What is CM Punk doing sidelined on WWE’s version of ECW and why is
Carlito not being used in the ring more often? I wasn’t sure who I was
cheering for. Punk I know everyone insists on that GTS and it’s a nice move
but you can do better than that. You shouldn’t have the same finishing move in
every match. Carlito, you make a fantastic heel and I appreciate your efforts.
You should be out there winning more matches, well, maybe not against
Punk but at least a couple of matches a month should be in your win column. And
kudos to the referee whoever he may be. He doesn’t just stand around or look
like he’s bored. He actually shoved Carlito and was loud enough that the fans
at home could hear him when Punk wouldn’t tap out. The ref should be a very
important player no matter who may be in the match. . This ref earned my
respect. The two wrestlers in the ring already had that.
JR reminds everyone about the Money in the Bank Ladder Match
at Wrestlemania and Lawler reminds everyone that he is looking forward to Bunny
Mania Lumberjack Match at Wrestlemania. It will be The Glamazon Beth Phoenix and
Melina against Candice Michelle and Maria with Snoop Dogg as the emcee of the
match.
Snoop Dogg is on the monitor to tell everyone, I’m not sure
what, because Santino Marella has written Dogg’s cue cards. And Snoop Dogg
doesn’t like Marella’s cues. Yo, yo, yo! Dudes! Snoop looked almost
straight!
Commercial break.
On Larry King Live, this Wednesday night, Vince McMahon,
Floyd “Money” Mayweather, The Big Show, John Cena, Y2J Chris Jericho and The
Game Triple H will be guests.
Raw’s General Manager, William Regal, appears at the top of
the entrance ramp to address Paul London and Brian Kendrick who are in the ring.
Regal tells them at Wrestlemania there will be a Raw vs. Smackdown match and
Batista will be representing Smackdown. Their opponent will be the wrestler who
is representing Raw and that is the Samoan Bulldozer Umaga.
Handicap
Match
Paul London & Brian Kendrick
Vs.
The Samoan Bulldozer Umaga
Audience favorite: I’m not sure
My favorite: I like them all but I’m not going to like
them in this match
I’m not going to try to call this match because I don’t
believe it is a match but a beat down by Umaga to show his strength. It is great
to see Umaga although I am certain he can do more in the ring than yell and use
the Samoan spike but I have seen London and Kendrick wrestle in the ring and
they are very good. Another waste of talent by WWE. Kendrick bails out of the
match before it’s over leaving London at Umaga’s mercy but we didn’t see
any wrestling in this time in the ring. Kendrick gets a ton of boos from the
audience as he walks up the entrance ramp and out of the arena.
Winner
The
Samoan Bulldozer Umaga
Regal is backstage and Triple H appears. Regal tells Triple H
that Kendrick just walked out on London and he was thinking that it might happen
with Orton or Cena tonight but Triple H says that it won’t happen because if
Cena walks out on Orton, Cena won’t be in the match at Wrestlemania and if
Orton walks out on Cena, Triple H will strip Orton of the WWE title. Regal says
that Triple H can’t do that because Regal is in charge but Triple H reminds
Regal of the Triple Threat Takeover Regal himself devised and tonight Triple H
is in charge.
Lawler reminds the audience about the match between Jericho
and Big Show tonight and JR reminds the audience about the match between McMahon
and Flair in a career threatening street fight match.
Commercial break.
The audience sees a video recap of Triple H’s career and
the injury that caused him to miss last year’s Wrestlemania.
Video replay of McMahon receiving a star on the Hollywood
Walk of Fame.
The Heartbreak Kid Shawn Michaels is backstage and The Nature
Boy Ric Flair appears to yell at HBK for being at the arena because HBK
doesn’t have a match tonight and Flair knows that HBK is there to protect
Flair from McMahon. Flair says he doesn’t want to see HBK before Wrestlemania.
Commercial break.
Wrestlemania
XXIV is 13 days away.
John Bradshaw Layfield
Vs.
Colin Delaney
Audience favorite: I’m not sure
My favorite: Colin Delaney
This is another short, worthless non-wrestling match and if
Colin Delaney isn’t wondering why he signed that WWE contract before, perhaps
he is wondering now.
Winner
John Bradshaw Layfield
Vince McMahon and Ric Flair are heading toward the ring for
their street fight match which is coming up next.
Commercial break.
The audience sees a video replay of The Nature Boy Ric Flair
being told that the next match he loses will be his last match. That happened
four months ago.
Career
Threatening Street Fight Match
The Nature Boy Ric Flair from Charlotte, NC
Vs.
Vince McMahon, The WWE Chairman of the Board
Audience favorite: Ric Flair
My favorite: Ric Flair
In case you missed it, the referee held the ropes for Flair
to enter the ring. I don’t know if this was planned prior to the match but it
certainly showed respect for the former World Champion and Hall of Fame
inductee. Flair has a large bandage on his forehead as a result of the handicap
match against Edge, the Edgeheads Hawkins & Ryder, and Chavo Guerrero.
The bell rings and I hope McMahon remembers that he is up
against the dirties player in the game. McMahon throws the first punch but Flair
blocks it. Flair delivers punches and they don’t miss their mark. Flair has
McMahon up against he ropes and is taking the boots to him and kicks McMahon out
on the floor. Flair goes out after McMahon and sends him up on the announcer’s
table while Lawler and JR scramble to get out of the way. Flair climbs up on the
table to deliver fists to McMahon’s head and McMahon goes to the floor on the
opposite of the table. Flair climbs down and goes after McMahon. Flair delivers
chops to McMahon’s chest and then several fists to the face. Flair leans
McMahon over the guardrail surrounding the audience and delivers some up close
action to the fans in the front row. McMahon goes over the guardrail and into
the audience seating area and Flair follows him. Flair delivers a boot to
McMahon’s midsection and follows up with a hard right to the jaw. Flair hits
McMahon with a chop to the chest that drops McMahon to his knees . Flair shoves
McMahon back over the guardrail, McMahon hits the floor and Flair comes over the
guardrail after him. Flair continues to pummel McMahon outside the ring but as
Flair grabs McMahon and heads him toward the ring post, McMahon sends Flair head
first into the metal post. Flair hits the floor. McMahon gets up to his feet
slowly and heads for the announcer’s table. McMahon grabs a monitor from the
table and turns to nail Flair in the head with the monitor. Flair is down on the
floor again and he is bleeding. McMahon is back to his feet and he goes after
the cut on Flair’s forehead as the ref yells at McMahon to get back in the
ring. McMahon rolls Flair back into the ring and goes for the cover. He gets a
two count and Flair kicks out. McMahon again goes after the cut on Flair’s
forehead and goes for the pin. Again Flair powers out. McMahon goes outside the
ring and pulls out a metal garbage can. He nails Flair in the skull and goes for
the cover but Flair gets a shoulder up before the count of three. McMahon throws
the can out of the ring and into the announcer’s table before rolling back out
of the ring. McMahon goes back under the ring and pulls out a kendo stick. Flair
is barely able to get to his feet by using the ropes and he staggers across the
ring at McMahon. McMahon smacks him over the top of the head with the kendo
stick, then hits him in the side of the head and McMahon again goes for the
cover. Flair kicks out at the count of two. McMahon again rolls out of the ring
and this time comes up with a steel chair. McMahon rolls back in the ring with
the chair, nails Flair in the head and goes for the cover. The live audience
gets loud, the ref gets to the count of two and HBK Shawn Michaels pulls the ref
out of the ring, breaking the count. HBK keeps the ref out on the floor and the
ref throws HBK out of the arena. McMahon again goes back out of the ring and
this time he comes up with a table. McMahon slides the table in the ring and
proceeds to set it up (I don’t think he had the directions). McMahon goes over
and kicks Flair in the head after he has one side of the table set and then he
sets the table up next to one of the corners. McMahon turns around and goes
after Flair but Flair greets him with a low blow – hey, it’s a street fight
– and then Flair nails him with another low blow. Flair puts McMahon up on the
table and proceeds to nail McMahon in the head with fists before climbing out on
the ring apron. Flair climbs up to the top turnbuckle and delivers a frog splash
to McMahon and the table, breaking the table, Flair goes for the cover and gets
the three count.
Winner
The
Nature Boy Ric Flair
With the exception of Flair having to bleed in every match
lately, this wasn’t a bad match for Flair. The fans were into it and I bit my
lip when Flair climbed up on that top turnbuckle because he always seems to get
in trouble when he does that. He delivered a nice dive and a perfect end to the
match. The dirtiest player in the game rides again…all the way to Wrestlemania
XXIV.
Commercial break.
Lawler introduces Jared Fogle “The Subway Guy” who then
hawks a Subway sandwich for Lawler. Jared originally lost 240 lbs. 10 years ago.
Tag Team Match
Maria & Candice Michelle
Vs.
Jillian Hall & Victoria
Audience favorite: I’m not sure
My favorite: Victoria
Santino Marella shows up to join the JR and Lawler at the
announcer’s table. The bell rings and it’s Jillian and Maria. The only woman
in this ring that can wrestle, in my opinion, is Victoria and I don’t
understand why WWE continues to put her in matches against women who can’t
wrestle.
Winners
Candice Michelle & Maria
In case you didn’t see it, early in the match Candice was
favoring her left arm. After the match, at the announcer’s table, Marella and
Lawler get into a war of words that turns into Marella throwing Lawler’s
Subway drink on Lawler and then nailing Lawler with a blow that sends Lawler
down to the floor. Marella then throws Lawler’s Subway drink on him, grabs the
sandwich and runs around the ring to join Victoria and Jillian on their way out
of the arena.
The audience sees a video of Floyd “Money” Mayweather,
Jr. who will face The Big Show at Wrestlemania XXIV.

sends a knee into Jericho’s abdomen. As Big Show tries to pick Jericho up
again, Jericho nails Big Show with a jawbreaker and throws a few fists but Big
Show shoves Jericho back into the ropes. Jericho charges again but Big Show
picks Jericho up and drops him to the mat. Jericho lands on his feet and as Big

canvas, picks Orton up and tags in Carlito. Carlito delivers a few shots and
then tags in Hardcore Holly who comes in with boots to the chest before picking

Everyone else on the roster enters the ring with the
exception of JBL who hangs out on the ring apron. The ref rings the bell, I
assume to disqualify the roster members, as Cena gets tossed out of the ring and
the roster continues to beat on Orton who is still down in the ring. Cena grabs
a steel chair and heads back to the ring. Cena takes out Holly, Snitsky, Haas,
and Carlito while everyone else bails out of the ring, except JBL who never got
in the ring and Umaga who is waiting in the corner. Umaga delivers the Samoan
spike and JBL finally hauls his lard butt into the ring and grabs the steel
chair as Umaga sets Orton up. Orton drops, JBL nails Umaga in the head with the
chair, Umaga doesn’t look happy, Umaga picks up Orton, delivers the Samoan
spike and heads for JBL who throws the chair down and gets out of the ring –
isn’t that what Orton usually does? – to get away from the angry Samoan.
Umaga chases JBL around the ring and out of the arena as Cena and Orton are down
in the ring.
The Game Triple H appears at the top of the entrance ramp and
makes his way to the ring. After all, Triple H is a member of the Raw roster.
The Game enters the ring. Orton is trying to get to his feet, Triple H picks him
up and delivers a pedigree. Orton is down again. Cena is trying to get back to
his feet, Triple H delivers a pedigree to Cena and Cena is now back down in the
ring.
And that’s the end of the show.
