RAW Preview for May 30, 2005

Last week on RAW, Kane was visibly heartbroken after his wife Lita betrayed him and showed her affection towards Edge. This week, both Kane and Lita will be Chris Jericho's guests on the Highlight Reel.

Lita's love interest Edge will also be busy tonight, as he squares off against Chris Benoit in a Tables Match on RAW.

In honor of today's holiday, the lovely RAW Divas will compete in a special Memorial Day Swimsuit Competition tonight on RAW.

The World Tag Team Championship will be on the line tonight when champions The Hurricane and Rosey put the gold on the line against The Heart Throbs. Will the newcomers be able to dethrone the veteran superheroes? Watch RAW to find out.

The Intercontinental Championship will also be on the line tonight when Shelton Benjamin, Rob Conway and Sylvain Grenier battle in a Triple Threat Match. For weeks, Conway and Grenier have been trying to prove that they are the superior member of La Resistance. A victory be either one would go a long way in proving their superiority. Will we have a new Intercontinental Champion tonight? Or will Shelton Benjamin's awesome athleticism prove to be too much for his challengers?

Also, what will be the World Heavyweight Champion’s response to Triple H’s sledgehammer attack last week? Before RAW went off the air, The Cerebral Assassin left Batista bloodied and with a cryptic message, saying only, “Hell in a Cell.” Don’t miss RAW as hopefully more details are revealed.

This and much more on Monday Night RAW at 9/8 CT only on Spike TV.

[KingofOldSchool]

I predict Triple H will be involved in the show somehow. :shifty:

[SuperSlim]

this Raw is slated to be pretty good

[Savio]

In honor of today's holiday, the lovely RAW Divas will compete in a special Memorial Day Swimsuit Competition tonight on RAW.

Thats a new way to honor it.

[Fenix122]

[Hired Hitman]

Stand & Salute, soldier!

Meh, looks a bit weak to me.

[Innovator]

20 bucks says RAW opens with a HHH promo

[Nark Order]

I'm looking forward to another Vis 'love shack' promo.

[Boondock Saint]

Unlike the previous 3(?) weeks, something, not quite sure what, tells me this RAW will be full of HHH.

[Nark Order]

Yeah, he'll probably be in every match to make up for the time that he missed.

[Nark Order]

And hopefully there will be some more build-up for the ECW PPV.

[Supermark101]

Unlike the previous 3(?) weeks, something, not quite sure what, tells me this RAW will be full of HHH.


YAH I missed him sooo much. :shifty:

Batista will tell HHH he has to earn a title shot. You will see

[Gerard]

Probably get a batista vs flair match tonight as well, or set up one for the following week.


The Cerebral Assassin left Batista bloodied and with a cryptic message, saying only, “Hell in a Cell.”

Yeah thats so cryptic..hell in a cell whatever could that mean? :wtf: :nono:

[Azriel]

At least they're getting it over with

[Kane Knight]

So is Viscera coming out, or is this going to be food free?

[Nark Order]

Why does the WWE feel it neccesary to punish their fans for no reason?

[addy2hotty]

The King and all the Divas in the ring, how many braincells between them?

[The Answer]

Man everyone knows Christy is going to win. This stuff is all rigged.

Rigger Wrestling? Fuck. What's next? Steroids in MLB?

[Azriel]

Gee, dont worry guys. Shes in the magazine

[Nark Order]

KK, Big Vis is 100 times more entertaining than idiotic segments like swimsuit competitions.

[SuperSlim]

Why Christy WHY?

[The Answer]

Maris gets my vote.

[Kane Knight]

Man, if only Christy wasn't so annoying...

[Nark Order]

The King needs to calm the hell down.

[Gone Mad]

OK, why is this for Memorial Day again? But at least I get to see my Queen Victoria. :drool:

Vis > everyone.

[Azriel]

I love Candice and Chrissy :drool:

[6to1]

[Azriel]

Vicky turning heel?

[Nark Order]

I would've never guessed Christy to win....

[Fenix122]

[The Answer]

Yes my freind wrestling is rigged.

Well I meant in stuff where they actually have fans participate.

Edit: Victoria goes heel.

[Nark Order]

YES, THE CRAZY BITCH IS BACK!!!

[Batsu]

Ahhhhh...classic Victoria.

[JT]

Heel Victoria is back...all is right in the world! :D

[Kane Knight]

OK, why is this for Memorial Day again? But at least I get to see my Queen Victoria. :drool:

Vis > everyone.
This is for Memorial day because nothing says "Thanks you for your sacrifice" like guttersluts and a fat black man.

[addy2hotty]

Psycho Vicky is back...woohoo

[SuperSlim]

Heel Vicky is back :D

[mike627]

Yes! Vic goes crazy!

[Kane Knight]

King gets it in the crown jewels

[JT]

Heel Victoria taking out The King! Even better! :D

[Kane Knight]

Yes! Vic goes crazy!
And she's still getting popped. :D

[Nark Order]

lol @ everybody cheering her.

[Azriel]

Welcome back Vicky

[Kane Knight]

Heel Victoria taking out The King! Even better! :D
KK just had a chain orgasm.

[SuperSlim]

at least now that wimsuit thing had a purpose

[Gone Mad]

Victoria has just killed the Diva Search girls! I'll say it again... I :heart: Vicky.


...........Wait, does this mean we have to see Christy wrestle? AH SHIT!

[Kane Knight]

lol @ everybody cheering her.
It doesn't hurt that her heel turn was more interesting than the reast of the segment.

[mike627]

Lawler has had that comming for years.

[Nark Order]

Yeah, I'm glad they did it now. Vicky destroyed everyone in the ring.

Victoria = Hot Female Kane

[Kane Knight]

at least now that wimsuit thing had a purpose
Other than taking another shot at trying to turn KK off guys (Viscera=shudder)

[Marcyo]

Victoria = Hot Female Kane

:D Yeah.

[Supermark101]

This is for Memorial day because nothing says "Thanks you for your sacrifice" like guttersluts and a fat black man.

As a thrid generation member of the military, I fill honored :-\

At least something good come out of it.

Heel Victoria > ALL

[Kane Knight]

Yeah, I'm glad they did it now. Vicky destroyed everyone in the ring.

Victoria = Hot Female Kane
Are you saying Kane isn't hot?

[Azriel]

So, looks like Trish is coming back face

[Savio]

:lo: what a great ending.

[Nark Order]

That was a gigantic kick to the face.

[Kane Knight]

As a thrid generation member of the military, I fill honored :-\
Glad I could help. ;)

Naw, seriously, it's just a PR grab for the WWE.

"Awwww, they support the troops!"

[The Answer]

Does anyone else think they had the diva segment first because of the Miss Universe pageant on NBC beginning at the same time?

[Nark Order]

Damn, she's ruining it by talking....

[Deceit]

LOL! Victoria was getting tons of cheers from that. Oh, and Candice sold those hits pretty well :roll:

[JT]

I love that I didn't hear one god damn boo when she was talking...just cheers. :love:

[Gone Mad]

Vicky!!!!! KILL ROB GROSSFAN!! ...Me so happy! Vicky's back! :D


**STAY IN THE BACK! THAT WAS A HEEL TURN THAT CAME THRU! **

[Nark Order]

Poor Stacy...

[Azriel]

She needs to wear something sexier

[The Answer]

This Stacey Keibler tag team manager crap is played out already. First the Dudleys now Hurricane and Rosey.

Edit: Forgot Raw is in Calgary tonight. Thank God HBK won't be there.

[Nark Order]

lol. I love the Heart Throbs.

[JT]

Why does the WWE have a fetish which gay Tag Teams?

[Fenix122]

these guys are hilarious

[Azriel]

Or, if they're cheering Vicky, they might turn Chrissy heel

[Nark Order]

Billy & Chuck were big moneymakers.

[Gone Mad]

Ha,Stacy looks so stupid with that mask. Vicky should kick her ass!

And doesn't that Heartthrob theme make you wanna play DDR? I feel like following some arrows right now...

[mike627]

Harthrobs yeah, ok thier Tag Champion material... :shifty:

[Nark Order]

these guys are hilarious

[John la Rock]

WHAT A SHITTY RAW SO FAR.

fuck a boring ass Bikini Contest and now a FUCKING TAG MATCH.

This is Raw not Sunday Night Heat

FUCK YOU VINCE

[Azriel]

Why does the WWE have a fetish which gay Tag Teams?
Cause Billy and Chuck was somewhat successful, so they're trying it again maybe

[Nark Order]

lol @ Stacy's hot chants.

They are sooo bored.

[Batsu]

Is that what they're chanting? That's a weird one...

[SuperSlim]

I thought they were chantin A-Team sucks :$

[JT]

You know what...I think this crowd is going to save Raw tonight.

[The Answer]

WHAT A SHITTY RAW SO FAR.

fuck a boring ass Bikini Contest and now a FUCKING TAG MATCH.

This is Raw not Sunday Night Heat

FUCK YOU VINCE

Ya your right this show needs a Captain Charisma segment big time.

[Nark Order]

I hate Hurricane and Rosey. Almost nothing could make this match entertaining right now...

I'm hoping Christian interrupts the match and cuts a 20 minute promo.

[Kane Knight]

I thought they were chantin A-Team sucks :$
Maybe they saw the Bad Bad Man vid?

[Kane Knight]

Cause Billy and Chuck was somewhat successful, so they're trying it again maybe
Yeah, but Billy and Chuck were entertaining...

[Nark Order]

Exactly.

[Kane Knight]

Ya your right this show needs a <s>Captain Charisma</s> Batista segment big time.
Just changing it to the WWE's mindset.

[Nark Order]

lol

[The Answer]

I wonder what Hollywood Chris Jericho will do today.

[Nark Order]

lol @ Matt Hardy getting owned in the video game commercial.

[Azriel]

Crowd will go nuts for Benoit/Edge. Any thoughts on Shawn Michaels making an appearance just to piss off the fans?

[Gone Mad]

Well, that was a nice finish to the match. Finally these superheroes are flying.

I hope Snitsky comes back soon, it's been too long since he's done something ridiculous.

[Nark Order]

Hopefully the Master's segment tonight will be quick and painless.

[Savio]

LOL! Victoria was getting tons of cheers from that. Oh, and Candice sold those hits pretty well :roll:yeah she was like "what?"


Why is batista champ again?

[Azriel]

Anyone see a love triangle develop eventually between Hurricane and Rosey?

[Nark Order]

Yeah, Snitsky needs to come back now.

[SuperSlim]

why do tey keep showing us pictures of these chicks?

[Nark Order]

Why are they using an Audioslave song for the Diva Search

[Kane Knight]

I'm back. I miss anything? Besides a lameass Audioslave tune?

[SuperSlim]

so far the only good thing about Raw is VIcky's heel turn

[PullMyFinger]

LOL I guess no Hurricane heel turn tonight???

[mike627]

Maybe, Dave will take Flair out.

[Nark Order]

I honestly think they should just cut the women's division. It's not entertaining whatsoever.

[Savio]

bad blood always has a hell in a cell

[Nark Order]

Victoria isn't enough to save the entire division.

[The Answer]

Maybe, Dave will take Flair out.

Again?

[Nark Order]

Hassan!

[Kane Knight]

I honestly think they should just cut the women's division. It's not entertaining whatsoever.
That's the thing. They've axed most of the women with Talent. Who's left? An injured Trish, Vicky, a buncha T&A, and the human botching machine?

[Batsu]

Muhammad Hassan makes sense.

[mike627]

Hussan time!

[The Answer]

Hassan vs Batista :yes:

:rofl: What a slap

[SuperSlim]

Victoria and Trish are

[Nark Order]

Hassan vs Batista!

[Kane Knight]

HAssan saved that segment.

[Gone Mad]

Asal v. Corky! Sounds... interesting???

LOL @ Bats smacking Davairi in the face.

[Nark Order]

OMG, Batista just bitchslapped Daivari!!

[SuperSlim]

Hassan vs. Batista. sounds like fun

[Savio]

What did the 5 fingers say to the face?
SLAP!

[Marcyo]

OMG, Batista just bitchslapped Daivari!!

was funny. :D

[Savio]

Hassan is right though

[Kane Knight]

Muhammad Hassan makes sense.
Of course he does. He represents smarks and muslims. Meaning the WWE is comparing us to terrorists!

[addy2hotty]

I'm sick of the frog...(uk viewers only)

[Savio]

That's the thing. They've axed most of the women with Talent. Who's left? An injured Trish, Vicky, a buncha T&A, and the human botching machine?umm lilian?

[John la Rock]

Hassan is so right.

Batista vs Hassan sounds HOTTTTT

Why couldn't this start out Raw?

[PullMyFinger]

HAssan saved that segment.
Exactly, I was about to scream snoozefest when I saw it. I can't wait till TNA arrives because at least I'll have something else to switch to.

[Kane Knight]

umm lilian?
How many matches has she been in?

[Nark Order]

I wonder if it's for the belt.

[Marcyo]

Who's Shelton vs?

[SuperSlim]

maybe finally somethin of more interest will happen.

[Nark Order]

Oh my god!! It's a black man!

[Batsu]

Triple Threat Match? They never really hyped this one. Who's going against him? CLB and ....Jericho?

[Fenix122]

conway and grenier

[Batsu]

LMAO, Grenier.

[Kane Knight]

Exactly, I was about to scream snoozefest when I saw it. I can't wait till TNA arrives because at least I'll have something else to switch to.
I'm jealous. We don't get WGN. :(

[SuperSlim]

hey who is the current ring announcer? he kinda sucks

[Nark Order]

Conway and Grenier have a competition going on.

Even though they're both losing.

[PullMyFinger]

Am I the only one who can't stand La Resistance? When their music hits, I just think "great, here's a few mins of garbage."

[mike627]

Ah, the triple threat match,should be good.

[SuperSlim]

Shelton with the win

[Kane Knight]

Oh my god!! It's a black man!
In hockey?

Well, I was trying to figure out why he was surrounded by Canadians.

[addy2hotty]

Another great decision by the WWE's 'championship committee'.

[SuperSlim]

random question. how many times was Razor Ramon IC champion?

[Kane Knight]

Conway and Grenier have a competition going on.

Even though they're both boring.

[6to1]

I wonder if it's for the belt.
probly not they want to keep his unbeating streak

[Drakul]

I'm sick of the frog...(uk viewers only)
I have despised that frog since day one.The fact hes number one in the charts proves people are idiots.

And now back to RAW...

[Batsu]

So, are they going to break up La Resistance? Hopefully Grenier will be realligned with Dupree (where IS that guy, anyway?)

[Nark Order]

Haha, they're taking turns beating the hell out of Sheton.

[The Answer]

Hey it's Jake Roberts birthday today. I wonder if he's recovered from the RKO :p

[Nark Order]

Y2J chants.

[Gone Mad]

This should be different. I wonder what they are trying to do with this Resistance singles idea. The draft should reveal more.

And I don't get WGN either. I miss Abyss already.

[Kane Knight]

Could someone explain the frog to us yanks?

[The Answer]

Conway and Grenier have a competition going on.

Even though they're both losing.

Dupree and the French Tickler>Grenier and Conway

[John la Rock]

Raw has been on for almost 40 minutes now with only 2 minutes worth watching (Hassan and Batista segment)

great booking :roll:

[addy2hotty]

random question. how many times was Razor Ramon IC champion?

4 times I believe...

Over Rick Martel, Shawn Michaels, Diesel and Dean Douglas....

I may be wrong though....

[Kane Knight]

This is a good way to split them, but who's gonna care?

[SuperSlim]

yeah even with Shelton this match is a tad bit boring

[Nark Order]

Hey it's Jake Roberts birthday today. I wonder if he's recovered from the RKO :p
Naw, he's probably still breathing hard.

[addy2hotty]

Could someone explain the frog to us yanks?

http://www.crazyfrog.co.uk

Enjoy.

[Kane Knight]

Damn those french. Always humping legs.

[SuperSlim]

this match is moving in slow motion

[Nark Order]

lol, what if one of La Resistance won?

I'd be like 'WTF'?

[Nark Order]

Hassan vs Batista is going to save this RAW

[mike627]

http://www.crazyfrog.co.uk

Enjoy. :wtf:

[Nark Order]

Draft starts next week, BTW.

[SuperSlim]

so what is left to save Raw?

[Batsu]

You know what...that T-Bone Powerslam is actually turning out to be kind of cool.

[mike627]

Higlight reel next!

[Nark Order]

so what is left to save Raw?
Xtian, Hassan, and hopefully Snitsky.

[Marcyo]

You know what...that T-Bone Powerslam is actually turning out to be kind of cool.

yep

[Gone Mad]

HAHA! I love this silly crowd! So loud, the commentators can't cover it up! Did they honestly say "separate?"

DRAFT MONTH WOO!! This better be good.

[Kane Knight]

YAWN

[Savio]

That T-bone wasn't made out of...well T-bones.

[Zen v.W.o.]

lmao! The seperate chant. If you know anything about quebec you'll get that.

The fact the province tried to seperate from Canada like three times before. Genius.

[The Answer]

so what is left to save Raw?

A dose of CC

[Savio]

How many matches has she been in?She beat the Fink.

[Nark Order]

I really want Stevie Richards to come this week and beat the hell out of Masters with a cane. He'd be getting his revenge and it would help hype the ECW PPV.

[Gone Mad]

**** BOWS TO THE FEET OF THE KING OF THE WORLD, CHRIS JERICHO! *****

[Savio]

A dose of CCCarlitos on Raw!? :eek:

[The Answer]

Hollywood Chris Jericho?

[Nark Order]

lmao! The seperate chant. If you know anything about quebec you'll get that.

The fact the province tried to seperate from Canada like three times before. Genius.
lol

[Face Heely]

Hassan vs Batista is going to save this RAW

So, I missed mostly everything from mid-tag match (Hurricane/Rosey) to the end of what seemed to be an IC title match - triple threat? All I wanna know is, what in the world is the possible backstory for Hassan/Batista? Was it just thrown together?

Also - "Separate" (or possibly "Separatists"?) was great!

[The Answer]

Carlitos on Raw!? :eek:

That's three C's :D

[SuperSlim]

come on this needs to really be the highlight Reel. The highlight of the night cause so far Raw has been nothing

[addy2hotty]

I'm liking Hollywood Jericho

[Kane Knight]

WHo thought Lita would be a highlight of my night?

[Kane Knight]

LOL But I'll get to Lita in a second.

[mike627]

Heh,Kane.

[Nark Order]

lol @ the crack at Lita.

[The Answer]

Finish her!!!! Finish her!!!!

[addy2hotty]

Kane is going to do a Matt

[6to1]

does y2j forget trish dumping him.

[Kane Knight]

Y2J's gonna die now. :D

[mike627]

Y2J is gonna get the hell beaten outta him.

[addy2hotty]

lmao....junior..!

[The Answer]

YaYA sisterhood :rofl:

[Face Heely]

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Way to totally ignore getting betrayed by Trish. He coulda brought that up and played the sarcastic, "Boo hoo, getting dumped is so hard - I got over it, junior, what's your problem?" angle.

[Bischoff187]

*Listens for crowd reaction to Edge*

none....

[Kane Knight]

SPEARING YOUR WIFE.

[addy2hotty]

Spearing, taken from a sign I believe....?

[Gone Mad]

RFLMAO @ BlockBuster Video suggestions! Jericho is pure gold.

Edge makes small children cry.

[Kane Knight]

*Listens for crowd reaction to Edge*

none....
GOOD.

[Nark Order]

OMG!! CELL PHONE!!

[SuperSlim]

yawn

[SuperSlim]

[Nark Order]

God damnit, she's horrible.

[Kane Knight]

How doesshe know what a fourth grader's like in the bedroom? :?:

[Marcyo]

[Gone Mad]

HAHA! Does Lita screw 4th graders? She's worse than we thought!

[SuperSlim]

How doesshe know what a fourth grader's like in the bedroom? :?:

I was thinking the same thing

[SuperSlim]

they are like a sick porno when they kiss
