Big Time Fallout
April 3, 2006

Less than 24 hours after the biggest event on the WWE calendar, the RAW Superstars will be left to sort out the WrestleMania 22 fallout when Monday Night RAW emanates from Chicago.

At WrestleMania 22, the “King of Kings” failed to reclaim his throne, as John Cena defeated Triple H to retain the WWE Championship. Will The Game have something to say about tapping out to the STFU, and what will be next for The Champ?

And just one night after successfully defending the World Tag Team Championship against Chris Masters & Carlito, Big Show & Kane will defend the gold once again against Spirit Squad. Which two members of Spirit Squad will the dominant tag team be defending against? Tune in to RAW to find out.

Also last night, Edge defeated Mick Foley in a Hardcore Match, and the “old-school” Shawn Michaels returned to vanquish Mr. McMahon in a No Holds Barred Match. With their WrestleMania burdens seemingly finally behind them, what will be in store for the Rated-R Superstar and the Showstopper?

Plus, Mickie James defeated Trish Stratus to win the Women’s Championship. Will she have anything to say one night after dethroning her idol?

Feel the fallout as RAW is live from Chicago tonight at 9/8 CT on the USA Network.

[Xero]

*RAW Opening*

ARE YOU READY!? *BUM BUM*

Joey: OH MY GOOOODDDDD!

JR: BAHGAWD!

Crowd: OMFGGGGGG!

Lita: WOOO! GO BX! BX! BX! BX! BX!

[Xero]

I hope RVD cuts an old school promo.

Imagine if they brought back Fonzy tonight so he could hold the briefcase for RVD's matches! :drool:

You know someone is getting either Van Daminated or Van Terminated sooner or later with it.

[Mr. JL]

*bursts bubble* No way that DX returns

[Xero]

*bursts bubble* No way that DX returns
Well duh.

[Azriel]

Hopefully tonight will be pretty damn sweet. Carlito face turn tonight perhaps? And I think Kane/Show should drop the tag straps to the SS. They need to be fighting for singles gold, not being tag champs.

[Xero]

NO! GOD NO! DON'T GIVE THEM THE FUCKING STRAPS! FOR FUCK'S SAKE!

UNLESS, and this is a BIG UNLESS, they do the "switching the title around the stable" so that any two from the stable can defend it. Otherwise, NO!

[Blitz]

Fonzy returning would be gold. They should make RVD more cocky now that he's Mr. Money In The Bank.

[Mr. JL]

Yeah, RVD definitely needs to cut a promo tonight in order to be taken seriously.

[Volchok]

DX WILL RETURN! :( i know they won't....

[Volchok]

Fuck why can't DX return and have Cena sell out to Vince... WHY!!!!!!!

[Chigg]

Carlito takes the Masterlock Challenge...

And loses.

[Batsu]

I dunno, but I hope this turns out to be a good RAW....

[PullMyFinger]

Cena selling out to Vince = Ratings. But, wasn't it already done with Austin and Rock?

[Volchok]

What hasn't already been done in WWE that they redid...

[Azriel]

I was actually thinking that idea Xero, should've said something :lol:

[Blitz]

HEREEEEEE WEEEE GOOOOO

[Corndad]

Anyone else see RVD wanting his title shot tonight?

[NeanderCarl]

Maybe tonight Cena loses the gold...? To Triple H?

[Blitz]

LOL they are so rubbing it in everyone's faces.

[Gone Mad]

THE MAD ONE IS HURRR!!!! One night only. :y:


And Cena is STILL the champ! And the people LOOOOVE it. [/sarcasm]

[6to1]

lets have some more boooos

[Azriel]

Wow, 50-50 split there

[Blitz]

TURN HEEL ALREADY, YOU STUPID SUMBITCH!

[St. Jimmy]

they're teasing it... wow.

[St. Jimmy]

TRIPS <3

[Blitz]

No barbarian gear. :(

[St. Jimmy]

love the new theme. <3

[Gone Mad]

THE KING OF KINGS... HAS JUST ARRIVED.

Welcome the Game, damn you! Trips > you.

[Azriel]

I do not much care for Trips new theme

[UmbrellaCorporation]

Trips FTW.

[Schoenauer]

I can't help but love his new song. Am I weird?

[Azriel]

Well, maybe in time, just so accustomed to the old one

[Corndad]

Here comes the double turn!

[Blitz]

Face turn?

[St. Jimmy]

lol @ the weak "you tapped out" chant.

[UmbrellaCorporation]

ROFL @ the Triple H pop for taking the hand away

[St. Jimmy]

=/ i think i'm actually on the edge of my seat for this promo.
wow.

[Gone Mad]

ROFL!!!! HHH!!! YOU GOT PUNK'D, BITCH!!!

[Corndad]

Damn it looks like they are goin for the Cena/HHH Rematch

[St. Jimmy]

uh oh... here's a twist...

[Corndad]

Maybe a 3 way at Backlash??

[Blitz]

Edge :heart:

[Azriel]

Yes Edge, just because you beated Foley means you get a title shot :roll:

[St. Jimmy]

Trips goes Apeshit on Edge?
Yey =D

[Gone Mad]

Wow, this just got better.

LOL @ the "Edge is Rated G for gay" sign

[Corndad]

and here comes RVD.... I can hope can't I!

[Blitz]

ROFL Trips is an asshole. :)

[G-wrath]

lol burnnnn

[St. Jimmy]

OOOH. <3 Ratings ^.

[Corndad]

LOL!!! CONAN!!

[Schoenauer]

Trips and Edge? Should be interesting.

[Corndad]

Edge HHH for # 1 Contender?

[UmbrellaCorporation]

Trips + Edge = Win.

[Blitz]

ROFL in general at this segment.

[Corndad]

This is a great promo.

[Batsu]

LMFAO @ Cena, HHH, Edge and the signs.

[UmbrellaCorporation]

"There's not too many members of your Chain Gang left."

ROFL

[LoDownM]

:lol: Heman and Skeletor

[Volchok]

OH SHIT!

Triple H/Edge Vs. HBK/ Cena... Then we can have HHH and HBK join up.. i dunno how it'd work though...

[St. Jimmy]

so, it's going to take 2 Heels to get Cena over as a face?




WOW.

[The Greater Power]

Looks like they are still keeping Cena face....or at least still trying to.

I'd still like to see HHH turn on Edge tonight and align with Cena to make a heel stable.

[Volchok]

I need to give up on the DX thing...:(

[Azriel]

That was great bantering between the three guys. Great promo. By the way, anybody notice in the back posters HHH is right next to Stephanie?

[CYCLOPTERSAURUS]

maybe RVD will come out after the handicap match and win the title.

[Blitz]

I apparently need to give up on Cena turn thing, apparently. :(

[St. Jimmy]

Tag Titles, two nights in a row?! This is unexpected =/

[Blitz]

Even though they will likely be squashed, :heart: Spirit Squad.

[Gone Mad]

LMAO at the Vogue dance.

These guys are clowns, and as for Kenny... he gets to bang Mickie and he's only 19! Bastard!

[St. Jimmy]

=/ i sincerly hope this isn't a squash match.

[Azriel]

I loved Kane's reaction to the SS :lol:

[Blitz]

Thet're actually getting offense :eek:

[St. Jimmy]

*MARKOUTMOMENT!*

[Blitz]

OMG YESSSSSSSSS :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love:

[Schoenauer]

New champs!!

[G-wrath]

haha I knew it.

[Azriel]

Woah, that was interesting.

[Gone Mad]

AHAHAHA!!! THE CHEERLEADERS ARE NEW TAG CHAMPS!!!

Congrats, Billy, Jimmy and Todd... whatever all their names are.

[St. Jimmy]

Parachute Powerbomb <3

[owenbrown]

WTF ?! :wtf:

[Azriel]

Now lets see how they roll with it.

[diothoir]

SPIRIT SQUAD!!!

[The Greater Power]

Grisham is calling it one of the biggest upsets in the history of WWE.

Looks like Show/Kane at Backlash...

[RawRocks]

The Spirit Squad as World Tag Champs... now the WWE does something right for a change.. cant say that about the last 48 hours.

[Azriel]

What just happened? Unlimited crapped out on me.

[St. Jimmy]

RAW > WM in what... 30 mins? Hot Damn.

[Blitz]

:rofl:

[JT]

I hate them...I really do

[diothoir]

They should let any 2 out of the 5 defend the tag titles. that would be awesome.

[Schoenauer]

EXTREME!!!!!!

[UmbrellaCorporation]

RVD cashes in at ONS? :D

[St. Jimmy]

OH FUCK! no way...

[Gone Mad]

LOL I think I'm officially a SS mark now. I liked them but now after that promo, they own.

Mr. Monday Night is now Mr. Money in the Bank. BTW the more subtle the better, RVD. More subtle, please.

[What Would Kevin Do?]

WHOOOOO!!!

SPIRIT SQUAD!!!!!

ALIENOID and I are marking the fuck out right now!

[JT]

Well...I think the ECW rumors are now confermed.

[Boondock Saint]

They should let any 2 out of the 5 defend the tag titles. that would be awesome.

That's what I was gonna say. Like TNA did with Triple X. I liked that idea.

[What Would Kevin Do?]

Gah, I pray that means RVD will fight Mysterio at ONS, and not Cena.

[St. Jimmy]

WWE Title Match on an ECW card? I must say "ew."

[Blitz]

Loved RVD's glass ceiling line.

[UmbrellaCorporation]

As long as someone gets the belts off of Mysterio/Cena, I'm happy.

[Corndad]

U think Cena was booed last night, damn if he Main Events the ECW PPV against RVD, Man.

[St. Jimmy]

wow. masters owning this kid.

[Blitz]

I'd love to see Punk debut proper tonight. He'd be damn over. Never happen, tho.

[RawRocks]

Did they announce the winners as Mikey and Kenny or simply the Spirit Squad? or both?

[Azriel]

The site's very slow tonight

[Blitz]

Carlito :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love:

[St. Jimmy]

well this could be a good fued.
i think carlito can get a good match out of masters.

[The Optimist]

I knew it, I was teling people for days that the whole Carlito and Masters angle was set up to let Carlito fight Masters. By the way my first hint was when I realized Masters wasn't cool. . .in 2003

[Corndad]

I hope they are just drawing this out...

[Blitz]

Did they announce the winners as Mikey and Kenny or simply the Spirit Squad? or both?

I believe they announced Mikey and Kenny.

[UmbrellaCorporation]

Holy SHIT, I love that move.

[Corndad]

Well so much for my last post lol

[NeanderCarl]

Masters looks like Paul Roma....

also, RVD vs HHH, Cena or Edge at Another One Night Stand wouldn't make a lot of sense, so I'm guessing RVD gets drafted soon, or a brand vs brand match.

Carlito turn... doesn't this make Carlito the heel now though? Should be the other way round.

[Blitz]

asdfghjasdfsdgdg@!#@#46457 Carlito :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love:

[What Would Kevin Do?]

WHOOOOO!! CARLITO TURN!!!!

[Schoenauer]

Has RAW been saved from the shitter today? What the hell is going on?!

[G-wrath]

So between Masters and Carlito...who's the face and who's the heel?

[diothoir]

Carlito turn :love:

[Azriel]

Carlito face turn, YES!!!

[owenbrown]

YES!!! :D :love: Dat's cool :y: :cool:

[What Would Kevin Do?]

Best Raw in awhile so far.

Carlito, Spirit Squad, RVD, opening segment, all great.

WHOO!

[Azriel]

Now that, is cool!

[NeanderCarl]

Carlito face turn, YES!!!

I think that was a MASTERS face turn, unfortunately.

Although I've always said Masters will make a great face someday (just not yet!)

[Volchok]

Wow... What's going on.. Raw is awesome.

[Corndad]

that was the worst acting ever. that topped even the Mega Powers breaking up. Man.

[What Would Kevin Do?]

I have a feeling something big is going to happen now.

Raw has been too good so far not to end huge.

[Azriel]

Unlimited sucking for me tonight.

[diothoir]

There's no way they could have Masters as the face. Carlito is too awesome.

[Blitz]

I hereby ask Triple A that TPWW's cool emoticon be changed from :cool: to a Carlito head.

[What Would Kevin Do?]

Carlito will be the face. People were cheering him. If they're smart, he'll be an AUstin esque tweener though.

[Azriel]

No, those were pops for Carlito

[Boondock Saint]

:mad: I'm at work. Always miss the first hour. Was thinking of taping it tonight since it's after Mania, but thought...nah, will prolly suck. eioruiwoerfwer

[Blitz]

Hot promo coming up, no doubt.

[diothoir]

Michaels wearing something decent looking tonight

[G-wrath]

Good promo (Cena/HHH/Edge)...Better promo (RVD)... Best promo (HBK)...it can only get better.

[St. Jimmy]

THESHOWSTOPPAH *yawn*

[G-wrath]

lmao at the sign "Vince needs Jesus"

[Blitz]

So if Vince is off Raw now, maybe they'll finally get a new GM.

[mrslackalack]

Carlito like Razor Ramon I always thought would make a great face.

[Blitz]

LOL Michaels.

[NeanderCarl]

HBK title run?

[Corndad]

SHANE!

[G-wrath]

Oh no... the second coming of the same cavaleir....

[St. Jimmy]

Shane 'O Mac <3

[Blitz]

Shane O Mac.

[NeanderCarl]

Thought HBK was going part-time after WM22?

[JT]

Shane is getting Vince's grey hairs.

Keep fogetting he's closing on 40.

[Blitz]

Great line from Styles.

[NeanderCarl]

LOL @ Vince

[Blitz]

Fuck. Thought Vince'd be gone.

[mrslackalack]

I guess Bischoff will be back then

[Xero]

Vince better appoint a new GM...

[NeanderCarl]

HBK vs Linda

[Xero]

Why do I see him making a rematch for Backlash? :|

[G-wrath]

HBK should have busted his lip open, so they could sew his mouth shut.

[NeanderCarl]

Could b HBK/Shane at Backlash

[Blitz]

LOL, really teasing DX, aren't they.

[St. Jimmy]

nice. nice.

[NeanderCarl]

lol @ DX chants... be careful what you wish for...

[NeanderCarl]

lol you always were a bully!

[St. Jimmy]

WTF?! This is getting just creepy now...

[Blitz]

:lol: nice handicap match.

[Batsu]

LMFAO @ HBK.

"SUCK IT" and then trying to play it off...

[Blitz]

What's a Mental Monty?

[NeanderCarl]

lol wtf?

The McMahons vs HBK and God (aka Hogan)

[G-wrath]

lol the product of his semen....

[Corndad]

Did God just get booked for Backlash?? WTF lol

[Blitz]

Jeez, how much longer will this feud go?

[NeanderCarl]

Reckon they will bill the match as "Vince and Shane vs HBK and God" in all the Backlash promotion? and on WWE.com?

[diothoir]

LOL

FIRST MATCH FOR BACKLASH

Vince and Shane VS Michaels and GOD ALMIGHTY

I'd pay for Backlash to see God.

[St. Jimmy]

So it's Shane and Vince v.s. Shawn and Hunter at Backlash. good to know.

[Azriel]

Has Vince lost it? :lol:

[Savio]

Gods a pretty good wrestler.

[Blitz]

LOL they're actually promoting it as a tag match, not a handicap match.

[Azriel]

Damn, Unlimited had to go down at the worst possible time.

[Corndad]

HAHA are you serious lol I love that woman!

[Blitz]

Why do they keep putting Candice and Torrie in wrestling matches?

LOL at Mickie.

[The Greater Power]

LOL I thought they botched Mickie's music at first.

[RawRocks]

this site is damn slow tonight on speed.. it was worse last night!

[Azriel]

Wow, Mickie bringing psycho to a whole new level :y:

[mrslackalack]

Man I want to go to Backlash so bad as its in my hometown but all 4 of my finals are the next day.

[Corndad]

I think I'm in love with Mickie. I don't care if she's getting married. I must have her lol

[NeanderCarl]

Is that Mickie's real hair or a wig?

[St. Jimmy]

Mickie is a great heel <3

[Blitz]

I hope Mickie's attire isn't permenant...I like those short skirts. :drool:

[G-wrath]

Real hair....really bad dye job.

[NeanderCarl]

Raw hasn't been too bad tonight... shame they got to ruin it with a generic Handicap main event.

[diothoir]

Awesome promo by Vince.

Just have him going gradually nuts because he can't get to Michaels.

[zdmay]

What if God actually shows up? :shifty:

[UmbrellaCorporation]

I bet his finishing move will be the alter-ego of the Sweet Chin Music, the Size Ten Commandments. Book it.

[Corndad]

LOL at Todd getting Cena Heat on Unlimited

[Blitz]

Satan had better be banned from ringside at Backlash.

[NeanderCarl]

Re: Unlimited.... goes to show how much modern day fans care about their wrestling history.

I wonder is Grisham could have got those questions right, though.

[St. Jimmy]

was rey fucked up at the HOF?

[St. Jimmy]

Chavo has a mic. this bodes not well.

[Blitz]

Chavo doing a promo?

[NeanderCarl]

Wow are thye gonna let Chavito wrestle on RAW!?!?

[Blitz]

Who will come out to shit on Eddie's legacy?

[NeanderCarl]

Chavo: "He IS alive!"

I KNEW IT!

[Corndad]

Where are they going with this?

[Xero]

Was it just me or did I hear a few boos?

[Blitz]

Chavo/Shelton tonight?

[Blitz]

I think Chavo's winning tonight.

[Corndad]

Do you think hes actually gonna win now?

[JT]

I think it's safe to say he isn't winning the title now.

[Volchok]

wow.. again with the Eddie stuff?

[UmbrellaCorporation]

all I can say is "lol, coattails".

[Azriel]

Chavo/Shelton IC Title. Should be good

[NeanderCarl]

They GOT to end the Eddie references before they kill Rey and Chavo's careers for good.

The way things are going, they are standing in Eddie's shadows and as long as the fans care more about chanting "Eddie" than cheering for them, their careers will falter, IMO.

[St. Jimmy]

Tonight, IS MY WRESTLEMANIA. TONIGHT I WILL JOB TO SHELTON! For Eddie.

:shifty:

[The Greater Power]

Shelton dedicates his next ass whippin' to his mom

[JT]

Sadly, I think this is the setup for cursing off Eddie for helping Rey and not him (he'll lose this match), then head to Smackdown to feud with Rey.

[UmbrellaCorporation]

I like this whole arrogant athlete thing of Shelton's now. Cool stuff.

[Xero]

It's Shelton Blackway!

[Blitz]

Love the pimpish Shelton.

[JT]

Remember when PPVs had different names every year.

[St. Jimmy]

if this isn't a build up to a Rey-Chavo fued... then it's retarded.

[St. Jimmy]

i would pay $300 for chavo to PB&J.

[WikkidRevenge]

Shelton looks like Ray Charles

[zdmay]

I feel a Chavo heel turn. Just the way he's acting.

[RawRocks]

Excuse me before I lay a fart.. We didn't see this kind of outcry when Brian Pillman or Owen Hart passed. I think this Eddie angle has gone on way too long IMHO. It would nice if they would let Eddie Guererro rest in peace instead of prolong the funeral and memorial service.

[St. Jimmy]

=D Chavo should pull a Timmy White.

[Blitz]

I believe at Backlash, Chavo will turn heel and frog splash God.

[WikkidRevenge]

Excuse me before I lay a fart.. We didn't see this kind of outcry when Brian Pillman or Owen Hart passed. I think this Eddie angle has gone on way too long IMHO. It would nice if they would let Eddie Guererro rest in peace instead of prolong the funeral and memorial service.


Agreed

[G-wrath]

Is wittle Chavo gonna cwy?

[UmbrellaCorporation]

I believe at Backlash, Chavo will turn heel and frog splash God.

LOL

[LoDownM]

:eek: I wish I woulda ordered WM jsut for the mitb match. Shelton :eek:

[Gone Mad]

Damn, I leave for a half hour and all of a sudden God is booked in a match? Shit, that Vince must have paid some good money for the guy cuz we all know that he doesn't have a soul to sell anymore.

And for those of you without Unlimited, Chavo just quit the WWE. Let's see where this goes...

[zdmay]

Chavo quit?

[Blitz]

Flair/Steamboat :drool:

[Blitz]

So Chavo's gimmick is that he is a complete failure?

[zdmay]

Maybe Kerwin White is coming back? :shifty:

[Xero]

Oh for fuck's sake...

[Savio]

whats under the black sheet?

[Skippord]

What are they gonna do for gods picture

[Gone Mad]

OSAMA IS IN THE HOUSE, BITCHES!!!

The latino Ric Flair is hurrrr.

[Xero]

I think we've found our next Hassan...

[G-wrath]

lol is he related to Eric Estrada?

[St. Jimmy]

.... WTF?

[Blitz]

?

[Corndad]

Who the hell is this guy?

[Blitz]

I do like the fact that they've had 4 guys remark that they want the title tonight.

[Azriel]

Oh look, Lou Bega's come to the WWE :lol:

[G-wrath]

He reminds me of Maven...if he put on eyeliner, and waxed his eyebrows...yeah he's related to Eric Estrada...unless its his lover

[Blitz]

So is he actually a wrestler or just a manager?

[Schoenauer]

I want to see this guy in action soon.

[Corndad]

Oh god it is the Mexican Flair lol

[Gone Mad]

Ok, cool, they changed his name. Because Osama isn't gonna roll in the big time. I love hearing this asshole promo. Similar to Flair I think.

[G-wrath]

haha 'I give 2 j00' lol n00b

:shifty:

[Corndad]

Oh look, Lou Bega's come to the WWE :lol:

LOL nice Azriel Nice.
