The Champ's Still Here
May 1, 2006

The Champ is still here as Monday Night RAW heads into Columbus, Ohio tonight.

As first reported on WWE's new Mobile Alert system, The Cutting Edge will return tonight on RAW, and Edge has invited none other than Mick Foley to be his guest. At WrestleMania 22, Edge and Foley had one of the most brutal Hardcore Matches ever, ending when the Rated R Superstar speared the Hardcore Legend through a flaming table. With their bloody war at WrestleMania 22 still fresh on both men's minds, why has Edge invited Foley to be on The Cutting Edge?

Last night at Backlash, Edge had a chance to become WWE Champion, but John Cena pinned Triple H to win the Triple Threat Match and retain the gold. However, when the match was over, The Game grabbed his sledgehammer, attacking Cena, Edge and even referee Mickie Hensen. A bloodied Cerebral Assassin stood tall as Cena and Edge lay in the ring; will The Champ have anything to say about the attack tonight?

Mr. McMahon is also coming off a huge victory at Backlash, as The Spirit Squad helped the WWE Chairman and his son Shane defeat Shawn Michaels and "God" in a No-Disqualification Match. As also first reported on WWE's new Mobile Alert system, Mr. McMahon will make a huge announcement tonight on RAW. What will it be?

Also last night, Rob Van Dam defeated Shelton Benjamin to become the Intercontinental Champion. With both Intercontinental gold and the Money in the Bank briefcase in his possession, what’s next on the agenda for Mr. Monday Night?

Plus, Trish Stratus defeated Mickie James by disqualification, but suffered a dislocated shoulder during the match. Will there be any further update on her injury?

Find out all this and more on RAW tonight at 9/8 CT on USA Network.

[ClockShot]

Jumping the gun tonight blitz?

[Blitz]

How's that now?

[Xero]

Jumping the gun tonight blitz?
He posted it exactly at 8. How is that "jumping the gun"?

Oh, and speaking of guns...

BANG BANG!

[Blitz]

Perhaps the "big announcement" is about ECW?

[Blitz]

Oh, and after a 3 week absence...

FINALLY

Blitz HAS COME BACK to the Raw...Thread.

[RawRocks]

its either ECW or Draft Lottery 2006

[Xero]

Perhaps the "big announcement" is about ECW?
Vince: God, aka ME came to me in a dream and said "VINCE! I KNOW HOW TO MAKE MONEY!" and I said "How Vince?" and I... I mean he... I mean... Well anyway, one of us said that I should take advantage of my ECW license and make it a promotion!

Of course, that's what he'll be thinking when he's doing the promo.

[St. Jimmy]

the Cutting Edge... boooooring. =/

[Azriel]

I'm betting more the announcement will be the lottery

[Azriel]

So, Trish is out for about two months. I wonder what they'll do with Mickie?

[Corndad]

Alright, maybe a full Raw thread this week.. been a while. The announcement gotta be either Draft or ECW. I'd guess Draft with so many of the Smackdown stars down and out.

[Xero]

They also have to get Styles out of the booth tonight.

[Astley316]

Thing with trish being injured, its nearly 2 months before the next ppv anyways they will probably just keep her on tv feuding with mickey without them actually getting into any scuffels

Also, an intresting a side note, this week in foleys blog, he mentioned he had a big idea he was pitching to vince and now hes back on tv

[ClockShot]

Alright, maybe a full Raw thread this week.. been a while. The announcement gotta be either Draft or ECW. I'd guess Draft with so many of the Smackdown stars down and out.

It's possible if Thechampishere and Vermaat show up and preaches to us that John Cena is the greatest thing ever. But I won't bet my money on it.

And also, my apologies blitz about before. Just curious as to why start the Raw thread an hour out before the show begins.:'(

[St. Jimmy]

some people need to hype themselvs up for raw... cause sometimes... RAW itself dosn't do it.

[Kane Knight]

I'm baaaaaaaaaaaack...

[Azriel]

With Styles, maybe they'll have him do RAW and have JR do PPVs

[Corndad]

With Styles, maybe they'll have him do RAW and have JR do PPVs

I'd say since they are goin full-time with ECW, I would say JR full time Raw... Styles doing ECW shows

[Astley316]

The thing with the commentry situation on raw and ppvs is that its everytime Coach dissapears the commentrys half decent. When styles made his debute it was just him and king, and last night at backlash with just jr and king was good to

[St. Jimmy]

With Styles, maybe they'll have him do RAW and have JR do PPVs

doubtful.

[Blitz]

For the record, I hope the announcement isn't ECW. It'd be so flat if Vince just announced the return. We need an angle with Heyman...

Oh, and according to Observer, Styles is commentating tonight, JR returns next week.

[Kane Knight]

some people need to hype themselvs up for raw... cause sometimes... RAW itself dosn't do it.

And yet, gets a thread every week.

[Astley316]

Just seen it on Unlimited it looks like styles and king, i couldnt see coach

[Blitz]

Vince starts the show. Su-prise.

[St. Jimmy]

it starts.... with Vince =/

[Azriel]

Here we go

[Corndad]

Spirit Squad Raw baby! lol This ought to be good

[ClockShot]

Wow. Spirit Squad for GMs.

[Blitz]

Spirit Squad GMs :love: :love:

[Xero]

Son of a bitch.

[St. Jimmy]

WHAT?! the SS playing Commish?

[Blitz]

Kenny Vs Cena...

Interesting.

[ClockShot]

Kenny vs. Cena. I'd like to see that.

[Corndad]

Diva Cheerleaders... this might be good after all lol

[G-wrath]

lol @ the Spirit Squad...this is going to be a long night. :roll:

[Nark Order]

LOL!!

[St. Jimmy]

And yet, gets a thread every week.

hey, i love it, and the product... stale or not.

[St. Jimmy]

lol @ the little pompoms on chloe =/

[ClockShot]

Maria got new music.

[Blitz]

WTF is that Simple Plan?

[G-wrath]

ew Maria has shitty music. :'(

[Corndad]

bout time Maria got new music.

[The Greater Power]

Maria with the pop punk

[St. Jimmy]

Mariaaaa <3 omg.
and new Zebrahead... wow... that singer is totally different. =/

[UmbrellaCorporation]

Maria officially has the worst theme song in existence.

Pity. And I thought Zebrahead did pretty good in Smackdown Vs. Raw.

[Blitz]

I wish Victoria still had her Tatu music.

[St. Jimmy]

ewww... =/

[Blitz]

Mickie in a cheerleader outfit. :drool:

[Flair Wooo]

Maria is fucking hotness tbh.

[Nark Order]

Victoria and Mickie tagged up = masterbation material.

[Corndad]

Marias actually not looking bad (in the ring that is) tonight

[ClockShot]

WTF!

[Astley316]

lol torrie with a "stink" face

[St. Jimmy]

LMAO!

[Azriel]

Wheres Candice? I'd thought they'd put her in this match. Maria's song sucks, but at least its better than that techno crap

[Xero]

So did they resign Rikishi?

[Corndad]

I wish Maria would Bronco Buster me.

[St. Jimmy]

ooh. that was a nice peek at maria's good =P

[G-wrath]

Trish!

[Azriel]

Well, guess that answers my question

[St. Jimmy]

Maria's new theme isn't that bad actually.
I've seen zebrahead live.

[Nark Order]

KENNY FOR CHAMP

[Vazz]

Victoria would look better without the leg brace.
Mickie looks good as a cheerleader. :love:
Torrie ass. :y:

[St. Jimmy]

so if somehow Kenny actually won the WWE title...
would the crowd care?

[Xero]

Smart, they're putting Cena in with that annoying fuck for the title. If that doesn't get Cena over nothing will.

[Batsu]

The previous match was a dedication to Sean "X-Pac" Waltman.

[Azriel]

Wow, they're doing the sign thing pretty early, aren't they?

[AJHayes]

Holy crap. That was a very respectable womens match! I can't believe it! Maria is improving, Torrie was ok, Victoria and Mickie were great, as per usual. AND THEY WERE FREAKIN CHEERLEADERS!!!

(JR) BLOOMERS!! BLOOMERS!! BLOOMERS!! (/JR)

-or-

(JR) Bloomer Sooner? (/JR)

-or- ...the old classic

STUNNER!!!! BAH GAWD!!! AUSTIN HAS RETURNED!!!! BBQ SAUCE!!!!

[Nark Order]

LOL. think Kenny will be the face in the match tonight?

[Azriel]

Looks like a fairly pro-Cena crowd tonight maybe

[UmbrellaCorporation]

Okay, seriously. SS is the gayest thing I've seen in wrestling ever. Ever.


These guys are awesome in-ring, but this gimmick is the most homoerotic thing ever.

[Astley316]

Spirit straws, lol this gets more cheesy every week

[G-wrath]

Eugene...Gold Dust, and Snitsky

Oh dear.

[Xero]

LOL!

[Corndad]

IS Snitsky really on Raw?

[Azriel]

Odd Squad. This should be interesting

[Blitz]

Fuck, do you know how much I would've marked out if London, Kendrick, and Noble came out?

[RawRocks]

Good God! The Odd Squad it is!

[Nark Order]

SNITSKY!

[UmbrellaCorporation]

lol.

Goldust FTW.

[St. Jimmy]

this could actually be match of the night.

[Astley316]

yey goldust on raw, shame he'll be jobbing, i miss the days when goldust was brilliant

[Xero]

Fuck, do you know how much I would've marked out if Al Snow, Stevie Richards and The Blue Meanie came out?

[ClockShot]

The Odd Squad eh. (Looks toward T.V.) Yeah, makes sense.

[Azriel]

Finally, Snitsky, Eugene, and Dust back on RAW!

[Corndad]

So... that was ridiculously random.

[AJHayes]

That is a very good team, in my opinion. Golddust, Eugene, and Snitsky should be fun to watch. I'd like to see this go somewhere.

...then again, I totally mark out for Eugene.

[Kane Knight]

Oh God. Spirit Squad heavily featured...I'm stuck home with this?

Never been so tempted to change the channel.

[Nark Order]

I wonder if Snitsky will chow down on Nicky's feet.

[Blitz]

Damn, 15 minutes in and 3 pages already.

Busy thread tonight.

[Kane Knight]

ew Maria has shitty music. :'(

[Xero]

Damn, 15 minutes in and 3 pages already.

Busy thread tonight.
And I'm less amused tonight than I usually am.

[Nark Order]

rock bottom

[Kane Knight]

So much for Moore being the Prince of Perversion, eh?

[Azriel]

Yeah Blitz, this could be a big thread tonight

[Blitz]

Love the Johnny Go Round.

[Corndad]

Eugene= Glorified Jobber

[RawRocks]

20 minutes in and I think I am in the twight zone!

[Xero]

Why is the Spirit Squad getting such a push? Listen to the lack of response for fuck sakes.

[Kane Knight]

And I'm less amused tonight than I usually am.

I'm considering cracking open a book.

[NeanderCarl]

Why would the Spirit Squad, as co-General Managers, book themselves in a fucking filler match against Goldust, Eugene and Snitsky?

[Corndad]

LOL at MICKIE interupting Kiss Cam

[Azriel]

Poor Maria :(

[The Optimist]

Seriously, Carl's spot on, plus what the fuck is McMahon doing tonight.

[Blitz]

Ah, I love Mickie.

[NeanderCarl]

Why do I even bother wasting my time watching Unlimited when they always show anything of interest on Raw as soon as it comes back anyway?

[Xero]

"Mickie D T"? Oh come on now...

[Kane Knight]

THEY MENTIONED BISCH!

[ClockShot]

Taking the night off.

[Blitz]

LOL, hitting him with the dictionary.

[Xero]

LOL, he used a dictionary!

[AJHayes]

Kiss my butt Uncle Eric, at least I still have a job. Nyaaaah

[Azriel]

:lol: Vince

[AJHayes]

Eugene is not a man, but a God.

[NeanderCarl]

EUGENE: Sticks and stones may break my bones but words can never hurt me..... oh.

[Blitz]

Goddamn nice crossbody spot.

[The Optimist]

WTF SPIRIT SQUAD THAT WAS SICK!

[Xero]

Goddamn nice crossbody spot.
And even I'll admit that toss parachute thing spot was awesome.

[Corndad]

They are making pointless matches now.

[The Greater Power]

lol shirt

[Blitz]

That's Rob Conway? I thought it was Haas.

LOL at ref's shirt.

[Xero]

LOL, May 19...

[The Optimist]

LOL May 19th shirt

[Astley316]

did vince read 101 ways to shamelessly plug a movie

[Corndad]

and what was the point of Hass and Big Show in there...

[G-wrath]

Moral support?

:shifty:

[ClockShot]

Con man on unlimited.

[The Optimist]

Yeah, the guy in the backround was Charlie Hass, they just made the match with Rob Conway for some reason. The lesson here, the Spirit Squad book as well as Kevin Nash.

[Azriel]

Hass: screen time maybe

Show: Probably going to come interfere somehow in Kane's match

[Xero]

and what was the point of Hass and Big Show in there...
I get Big Show (Show/Kane), but since they didn't use Haas in the match it makes no sense for him to be there.

Maybe they just wanted to use him. Or he just walked in while they were shooting.

"Oh, I'll just sit here and look nice."

[Blitz]

I hope you're all glad you don't have to see Todd Grisham in the "Canadian Event Calendar" after every commercial break.

[RawRocks]

damn.. WWE and Raw is going down hill pretty damn fast

[Kane Knight]

LOL, May 19...

[Hanso Amore]

and what was the point of Hass and Big Show in there...

Duh, its the face locker room, something that should be long gone.

I thought it was a gay match, then I saw the shirt....Amazing.

The Squad is on tonight.

[Astley316]

Hey if kanes gonna squash someone might as well be conway

[AJHayes]

Am I supposed to be enjoying the spirit squad this much? After seeing last night when they put Shawn through the table, and the way they're doing tonight..

...I hope this is normal.. cause it almost feels gay.

[Kane Knight]

damn.. WWE and Raw is going down hill pretty damn fast

Every time I think they hit rock bottom...Someone hands 'em a shovel.

[Kane Knight]

Does that sounf like Kane's own voice?

[Blitz]

Oh God, I am glad I didn't order Backlash.

[Xero]

Every time I think they hit rock bottom...Someone gives them a People's Elbow.

[Blitz]

Hey, does anyone know what day Kane's movie opens? I can't remember.

[Astley316]

Oh God, I am glad I didn't order Backlash.

imagine how he feels, he was there

[The Greater Power]

That shirt will be on wwe shopzone soon I'm guessing

[Corndad]

Ya know the only thing I don't get is why didn't he freak out every May 19th before now if it's such a terrible date?

[Blitz]

DEAFENING REACTION FOR THE CONMAN!

[Xero]

Does that sounf like Kane's own voice?
They were supposed to be in his head.

Or maybe he just thinks they are and it's really the audio team messing with him.

[The Greater Power]

Hey, does anyone know what day Kane's movie opens? I can't remember.

That would be May 19th, I THINK

[Kane Knight]

Hey, does anyone know what day Kane's movie opens? I can't remember.

I still remember...

...Wait...

[G-wrath]

Anyone who signs their own entrance theme is awesome...but Conway is not, because he is gay. Literally.

[Xero]

Why does Conway have colorful cum stains on his tights? Or are they supposed to be stars?

[McLegend]

Holy shit he is so small

[The Optimist]

Dissrespected? Need Wins? Look Really Gay?

Kane can help now. Call 555-Kane-hates-gays today.

[Kane Knight]

They were supposed to be in his head.

Or maybe he just thinks they are and it's really the audio team messing with him.

This is like the third time they've mentioned the voices on Raw. They're even assuming it's comong from someONE instead of being in Kane's mind.

[Azriel]

teaches you not to disrespect HBK, huh Rob? :lol:

[Kane Knight]

Anyone who signs their own entrance theme is awesome...but Conway is not, because he is gay. Literally.

Conway knows sign language?

[Blitz]

Kane's stealing Vis' rape gimmick.

[Hanso Amore]

MAN WEDGIE ON CONWAY

[Blitz]

They should do a spot where Kane charges at Conway, but Conway gets the shirt off, and Kane just stands there looking at him quizzically, completely calm.

[UmbrellaCorporation]

lol, I :heart: Shawn Michaels.

[ClockShot]

LOL. Michaels hands him a garbage can.

[Corndad]

LOL at Shawn

[G-wrath]

:rofl: at Shawn!

[Hanso Amore]

They should do a spot where Kane charges at Conway, but Conway gets the shirt off, and Kane just stands there looking at him quizzically, completely calm.

That would be funny shit

[Xero]

LOL, well now someone else IS saying it!

[Astley316]

kanes apprently stupid now, cant tell the difference between conway and shawn micheals

[Kane Knight]

MAY NINETEENTH!

[Kane Knight]

kanes apprently stupid now, cant tell the difference between conway and shawn micheals

One fag is pretty much as good as another.

[Corndad]

Again I ask, why did he not freak out last May 19th?

[Hanso Amore]

Looks like Conway is losing mass and definition. Now we know he was on roids.

[The Optimist]

Why does Shawn want Conway to die?
<insert Christianity joke here>

[Hanso Amore]

I don't know if anyone has brought it up, but Test needs to come in andf tag with Striker

[Azriel]

Shawn ias the man, pure and simple

[ClockShot]

Here comes our friendly neighborhood wildman.

[Azriel]

Ah, its Mambo No. 5 time :lol:

[rob11]

If the crowd chants May 19, Kane should go after some plants in the crowd and the announcers could act shocked that he is attacking the fans. Maybe have a little kid plant take a chokeslam and some lady take a tombstone.

[Kane Knight]

Again I ask, why did he not freak out last May 19th?

Because there wasn't a PA in the building to remind him?

[Astley316]

Again I ask, why did he not freak out last May 19th?

your assuming the wwe wrtiers have logic when they come up with these ideas, i think your giving them way to much credit

[G-wrath]

Why does Shawn want Conway to die?
<insert Christianity joke here>

Because Conway is gay, and Christians hate gays.

:shifty:

[Blitz]

Why does Shawn want Conway to die?
Yeah really, he should have told Kane Spirit Squad chose the release date or something.

[Azriel]

Did somebody say 3 minutes?

[G-wrath]

I KNOW WHAT MAY 19TH IS!






The World Sumo League Megatour is coming to Foxwoods!

I just say the commercial. :-\

[Astley316]

oh great raws just a bundle of bad gimmicks tonight, first kane and his whole may 19th now we got the cuban and the headshrinker

[Corndad]

Because Conway is gay, and Christians hate gays.

:shifty:

Don't be silly Christians in TNA now.

[Blitz]

I KNOW WHAT MAY 19TH IS!






The World Sumo League Megatour is coming to Foxwoods!

I just say the commercial.
Kane/Akebono feud?

[Kane Knight]

I KNOW WHAT MAY 19TH IS!






The World Sumo League Megatour is coming to Foxwoods!

I just say the commercial. :-\

It's 8 days until my birthday, and he knows I asked for the Apocalypse this year.

[Azriel]

That laughing is annoying HA HA!

[Kane Knight]

Samoam Smashing Machine? :rofl: How clever...

[Corndad]

I can't see him and not think of him chopping that kid during the hazing

[Azriel]

Jamalga

[Hanso Amore]

Rory Fox, from MTV's true Life, Im a pro Wrestler!

[Blitz]

Nice chokeplex off the top.

[RawRocks]

if the WWE were smart, they would have this no name upset Jamal i mean Umaga

[G-wrath]

It's 8 days until my birthday, and he knows I asked for the Apocalypse this year.

Build me an Apocalypse shelter, because you love me.

[RGWhat316]

Pretty decent RAW so far, and now get wet a Umaaaggggaaaa squash match.

[Azriel]

the thumb of DOOOOM!

[The Optimist]

So Jamal beat Ric Flair, Raw writers are officialy going to hell.

[Schoenauer]

The undefeated Umaga Joe!

[Hanso Amore]

Samoan Smashing Machine....A cheap Samoa Joe shot?

[RawRocks]

Pretty decent RAW so far, and now get wet a Umaaaggggaaaa squash match.
decent? :wtf:
what planet are you from?:eek:

[Blitz]

Labiagitis :|

[G-wrath]

LMAO LABIAGITIS!

[NeanderCarl]

Vince is such a sleaze.

As if Candice would.

[Corndad]

HAHAHAHAHA FLASHLIGHT IN YOUR POCKET

[Kane Knight]

Labiagitis. Vince is gonna lay on hands...

[Hanso Amore]

Vince needs to stop using Air time, and his company to get his hands on hot tang

[Kane Knight]

Build me an Apocalypse shelter, because you love me.

Tempting...

[NeanderCarl]

WTF? is this hidden cam footage??

Triple H not inclined to take a small role on Raw? What are the odds?

[Xero]

By "back" does he mean "daughter's pussy"?

[G-wrath]

I love you....

[RGWhat316]

How many times do we really need to see Vince fondle one of the divas?

[G-wrath]

*Kane Knight

[Hanso Amore]

Face turn coming for Trips

[Kane Knight]

I love you....

I love you too...In a completely ethical, moral, and legal way...

:shifty:

[The Optimist]

Labiagitis. Vince is gonna lay on hands...Doesn't that imply that he has paladin levels, thats even less beleivable than him being God.

[Blitz]

Fuck. Wings are beating the Oilers.

[G-wrath]

I'd like to think that there would be a face turn....but I highly doubt it.

[Hanso Amore]

I don't see why they are rehashing Edge vs FOley tonight....How does this fit into Edge/trips/cena?

[zdmay]

Setting up for Cutting Edge

[G-wrath]

So will you buy me a shelter?

[Astley316]

cutting edge up next

hopefully the first real decent segement of the night

[Azriel]

Foley, NEXT!!!!

[G-wrath]

*Edit: build me a shelter...not buy :roll:

[G-wrath]

*Edit: build me a shelter...not buy :roll:

[Azriel]

Oh yeah, DX will make a return I think

[RGWhat316]

Lita just might................?

[ClockShot]

It's it just me. Or is everyone's Unlimited feed just slow up?

[G-wrath]

wtf double post?!?

[Blitz]

Wow, I think that's the most covered up I've ever seen Lita.

[Astley316]

yeah my unlimiteds slow, i didnt even get the maria/mickey bit

[G-wrath]

Its Slutty McSlutface...and Catfish Man!

[Azriel]

Now, where does Edge get that statistic from of being the most watched Champion in 5 years?

[ClockShot]

*Edit: Is

[Corndad]

Yea Unlimited is being dumb tonight...

[rob11]

I wish HHH would just turn face tonight but knowing the WWE, instead of Cena attacking HHH and joining Vince/Spirit Squad, HHH will fake a face turn and swerve by hitting Cena with a pedigree or something and join Vince once again.

[Blitz]

Gettin on Joey...

[RGWhat316]

So we got the ECW stuff starting up tonight now.

[The Optimist]

What did they just make fun of Styles. Now the kid gloves are off Edge, you and me Cage match at Judgement Day

[Johnny Vegas]

I didn't hear what he said about Joey....???

[NeanderCarl]

Mick must have celebrated his WrestleMania show-stealing match by going on a well-deserved lard sandwich and cake diet.

[Corndad]

Maybe Foley/Edge II at ONS II?

[Astley316]

I didn't hear what he said about Joey....???

called Joey Styles a second rate announcer, and told him he sucked

[Blitz]

Did he say "The way I searched my roll"?

[AJHayes]

Foley looks extra cuddly tonight.

Built for comfort. Not speed.

[Blitz]

Foley's putting Edge over huge.

[NeanderCarl]

"The Greatest Hardcore Match In Wrestling History"???? No chance.

In my opinion, Foley DOES hold that distinction, though.

Austin vs Dude Love, Over The Edge 1998.

[RGWhat316]

Yeah, putting over Edge a month after the match is really doing Edge good.

[AJHayes]

Looks like Foley is setting himself up for a brilliant promo.

[Blitz]

Mark out for that high pitched "OHMYGOD"

[ClockShot]

Wow. This may just save raw.
