The Game goes for the gold
May 15, 2006

In a statement released from Mr. McMahon's office Tuesday morning, it was announced that "Triple H will get his championship match next week on RAW."

WWE.com has learned that the Triple H vs. John Cena WWE Championship Match will kickoff RAW Monday night on USA. Be sure to be tuned in right at 9/8 CT so you don't miss a minute of the action. Can the King of Kings regain what he believes is his rightful place back on the throne? Or will John Cena once again turn The Game back, just as he did at WrestleMania?

Can Shawn Michaels get a measure of revenge on the Spirit Squad? HBK will face Kenny, and the rest of the Spirit Squad has been banned from ringside. However, Mr. McMahon has announced that he will be naming a special guest referee. Who will it be, and will they stack the deck against Michaels?

And what will Mick Foley have to say? Instead of brutalizing Edge in another vicious Hardcore Match last week, Foley seemingly joined forces with the Rated R Superstar. They ganged up on ECW’s Tommy Dreamer and left him a bloody mess. What was Foley thinking? Find out on RAW, as the Hardcore Legend will give an explanation for his actions.

Get the answers to all of these questions and more on RAW, this Monday night at 9/8 CT on the USA Network.

[St. Jimmy]

WWE title match to START Raw... that just smells of crap.

[Innovator]

Too bad I'll be watching 24 for the first hour, I'm so mad I'm missing Cena retain

[ClockShot]

WWE title match to START Raw... that just smells of crap.

Took the words from my fingers St. Jim.

[mike627]

it's all building up for the return of DX.BTW: I was gonna say something about this thread was a bit early but, over here in Texas we have only an hour to go.

[Blitz]

Yes, the Raw thread is usually posted an hour early.

[mike627]

Yes, the Raw thread is usually posted an hour early.Ok, cool..:wave: :cool: :)

[PullMyFinger]

I'm assuming DX returns tonight!

BREAK IT DOWN!!! X X X X X X X X ---- crotch chopping

hahaaaaaaaaaa

[Azriel]

Nah, won't return tonight, but it'll be another step to it. Vince/SS will screw HHH out of the title 100%

[Azriel]

It's RAW time baby!!! WOOOOO!!

[ClockShot]

And we're off. Good evening gentlemen.

[Blitz]

I wonder, if the music guy accidentally played King of Kings when Trips came out for a match, would he be fired?

[Xero]

Triple H wins, later in the night it's over turned.

This is how the Jericho "never happened" win happened, with the title on the line opening the show.

Probably wrong, but there ya go.

[mike627]

BOW DOWN BEFORE THE KING OF KINGS!

[Blitz]

:?:

[ClockShot]

Oooh. Vince.....

[ClockShot]

I SAVED A BUNCH OF MONEY ON MY CAR INSURANCE!

[Blitz]

RVD?

[G-wrath]

Can G-wrath get a little love in the wrestling forum tonight...beause casual apparently hates me now?

[mike627]

heh,winner takes all..

[Blitz]

Odd

[Hanso Amore]

This is the most retarded match I have ever heard of.

[Blitz]

I still love you G-wrath.

[Blitz]

In the most legal way possible

[Azriel]

You're always welcome here G-wrath

[Hanso Amore]

Also, Why is masters in this match, and not, oh say, HBK for some DXness, as it sadly seems where they are heading

[ClockShot]

I just got lost. So if somebody on Trips team beats either Cena or RVD, he gets their title and or money in the bank?

[mike627]

Cena is a poor excuse of a champion.Thank the gods of wrestling for RVD.

[jj62185]

i'm confused as to what the match is

[RawRocks]

this is a bizarre way to start off Raw.. a main event to start too??

[Blitz]

Read the preview, Hanso.

[Hanso Amore]

I think whomever pins Cena/RVD gets their title, but the Money in the bank is NOT on the line

[mike627]

i'm confused as to what the match is A cluster fuck?:shifty:

[Azriel]

They need to put Masters in something, because they haven't shoved him down our throats enough times

[ClockShot]

Oh. Good evening G-Wrath.

[RGWhat316]

Back on the RAW thread, and so much for the 1-on-1 match.

[G-wrath]

Thanks Blitz and Azriel...I feel better.

:)

[Hanso Amore]

Read the preview, Hanso.

Im retarded.

[Azriel]

Makes you wonder what's going to happen the rest of the night, with the midcarders in the same match too.

[Azriel]

I'm really looking forward to Mick's segment

[G-wrath]

And you too ClockShot

[Blitz]

Looking forward to the Foley promo that will no doubt happen tonight.

[Blitz]

Get the fuck out of my head, Az.

[Azriel]

So, how soon till we see dissension among the heel team?

[ClockShot]

Any estimation on how many "Why Mick Why?" signs we'll see?

[mike627]

Masters,just cannot get off my tv fast enough..

[Blitz]

Legdrop from Masters :wtf:

[G-wrath]

wow what a kick!

[Blitz]

God I love Shelton's kicks.

[Hanso Amore]

We will see a Mick/Edge segment
a Mickie/Trish
Umaga squash
Kane May 19th crap
HBK vs SS

That will fil lthe show

[Blitz]

Azriel gets a cookie.

[RGWhat316]

Any estimation on how many "Why Mick Why?" signs we'll see?
If any, there didn't actually seem to be too much of a reaction when Mick turned last week. But there are bound to be some signs.

[mike627]

Legdrop from Masters :wtf: :|

[Blitz]

Ah, Forgot about Kane :love:

It's gonna be stupid :y:

[Azriel]

Well, there answered my question

[Hanso Amore]

Damn RVD took that railing bump NICELY

[Blitz]

If any, there didn't actually seem to be too much of a reaction when Mick turned last week. But there are bound to be some signs.
That's becuase it was so poorly booked the crowd had no idea what the fuck was going on.

[ClockShot]

Oh yeah. May 19th. He's gotta kill somebody tonight to make people go see that movie.

[Blitz]

If Shelton hit the Exploder out of nowhere and won the title, I'd mark out.

[The Optimist]

What the hell is going on, I came in late.

[mike627]

YES the Pedigree!

[Blitz]

That was pretty well done.

[PullMyFinger]

WTF? GAY!

[RGWhat316]

WTF?

[Hanso Amore]

Did not see that finish coming

[Ninti the Mad]

LOL HHH got screwed

[ClockShot]

Great. The double cover route.:roll:

[mike627]

ha! kill the ref!

[Ninti the Mad]

I hate Cena but that was ROFL.

[Blitz]

What the hell is going on, I came in late.
Vince turned the Cena/HHH match into some ungodly texas tornado match, resulting in SHelton pinning RVD for the IC belt.

[RawRocks]

looks like the screwing of Triple H has begun.

[Azriel]

And the point of having RVD win the IC title? Interesting way to end it.

[Blitz]

I like the finish. Gets the title off RVD and onto Shelton without making RVD look like shit.

[PullMyFinger]

Leave it up to WWE to promote a great match, bring up the hopes of the fans, and then ruin it.

Even if Cena would've retained against Triple H, it would've been a better match.

[ClockShot]

Shortest. Unlimited. Ever.

[PullMyFinger]

I like the finish. Gets the title off RVD and onto Shelton without making RVD look like shit.
Could've just pulled a Goldberg. Have RVD win the title and then drop the IC.

[Azriel]

Now that was a really retarded Unlimited segment. They could've thought of something better

[ClockShot]

Damn. Texas went up 4-2 on the Yankees.

[Azriel]

Nobody does pissed off like HHH

[ClockShot]

Now that was a really retarded Unlimited segment. They could've thought of something better

Sometimes I bother why they have it.

[Azriel]

Oooh, its Trish

[G-wrath]

wow this is like a regular Raw night, just backwards.

[mike627]

yay,Trish!

[The Optimist]

Thanks Blitz, I'd pos-rep you but I've done it too many times already...

anyway, HLA! HLA! HLA!

[Azriel]

Don't do it Mickie, its an ambush

[Blitz]

Here comes Beth Phoenix.

[ClockShot]

Who's the new Chyna?

[G-wrath]

Damn...shes an ugly bitch.

[Blitz]

Trish+10 years+a few inches=Beth Phoenix

[The Optimist]

No explanation. . .

[PullMyFinger]

I thought it was Luna at first.

[Azriel]

I think I could like Beth

[loopydate]

Wow. They're actually letting her be called "Beth?" They didn't change it for no reason whatsoever like they do everyone else they call up from OVW?

[Blitz]

ROFL at Kane wearing his gimmick to the premiere.

[G-wrath]

Trish + Kane = Beth Phoenix

[PullMyFinger]

I hope this movie bombs. I'll lmao.

[PullMyFinger]

ROFL at Kane wearing his gimmick to the premiere.
LOL!!!

[RawRocks]

I hope this movie bombs. I'll lmao.
chances are it will.. its already up against United 93, RV and Da Vinci Code.

[Blitz]

I hope this movie bombs. I'll lmao.
Well, since there are no other major movies coming out that weekend...

[ClockShot]

I think I'll buy Monty Python and the Holy Grail with the free DaVinci
Code ticket thank you.

[Azriel]

She's decent, not as hot as the other divas of course

[The Optimist]

I hope this movie bombs. I'll lmao.
Yeah it has to go up against X3 and that Tom Hanks, its getting a proverbial squash. :rofl:

[The Optimist]

I hope this movie bombs. I'll lmao.
I was in the middle of a double post butwhat the fuck Hollow Man 2. . .

[Azriel]

Blitz, Da Vinci Code opens too

[Blitz]

I'm well aware, Az. 'Twas a joke.

[loopydate]

He was being facetious.

[Blitz]

Shane :love:

[G-wrath]

She's decent, not as hot as the other divas of course

I kinda think that her face makes her look like a tranny. :-\

[Blitz]

loopy :love:

[ClockShot]

SHANE!

[G-wrath]

lol Trips botched talking.

[Blitz]

I kinda think that her face makes her look like a tranny. :-\
As long as it's not Nicole Bass, I can deal.

[mike627]

Shane-o mac,Special guest ref..

[Blitz]

SPIRIT SQUAD :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love:

[Azriel]

Ah, my bad

Double dose of SS = Ratings

[RawRocks]

The Queer Squad!

[Blitz]

You just know that trampoline into the ring spot is getting botched sooner or later.

[jj62185]

so the E needs to go ahead and appoint Kenny as Head Cheerleader. or the squad's captain. i don't know. give him a different uniform so he can be the point man and speak for this group

[The Optimist]

Nicole Bass, theres a name I was hoping I would never hear again.

[mike627]

I hate the Sprit Sqaud I can't wait for them to be buried between the returning DX and ECW.

[Azriel]

Shane on TV always = ratings too

[ClockShot]

As long as it's not Nicole Bass, I can deal.

Is there anyone worse?

[Blitz]

The Queer Squad!
Couldn't you come up with something a little more creative?

[PullMyFinger]

I remember once when Snitsky was having a near main event push. *shudders*

[NeanderCarl]

I'm real bored with the faceless Spirit Squad already

[Blitz]

Nicole Bass, theres a name I was hoping I would never hear again.
As long as I never have to see her again, I can deal.

[ThruTheWire]

LOL snitsky on unlimited.

[Blitz]

I wonder if Snitsky ever curses God. I bet he does.

[Hanso Amore]

Good to se Snitsky getting some TV time. He looked like he was getting smaller after the drug tests, but has been looking good lately.

Ever stop and think, that if so many people here hate the spirit squad, then, maybe they are actually effective heels? I know I would cheer even for Visc of he fucked them up.

[ClockShot]

That unlimited was wrong in so many ways. I'll be back in 20.

[Azriel]

I miss Booker and Golddust. Golddust and Snitsky is just weak

[ThruTheWire]

Spirit Squad are great heels. They get a pretty good reaction from people.

[Blitz]

Anthony Michael Hall. Now there's a celebrity.

[loopydate]

loopy :love:

Blitzy :love:
Kenny!
...wait.

[Azriel]

Time to job.

[Hanso Amore]

Goldust is too good for what he has gotten. He always = ratings.

[Boondock Saint]

ROFL @ Anthony Michael Hall

[Dorkchop]

God, I hate the Spirit Squad. Is is that hard to move your arms, clap, and 'cheer' at the same time? Maybe they're all Jewish.

[The Optimist]

Wait is he just "Snitsky" no Gene. . .Fuck it, it doesn't matter anyway. . .
LOL at JR " Nothin' wrong with a foot fetish I spose' "

[mike627]

I agree,this match won't take to long..

[Azriel]

They have no rhythm

[Hanso Amore]

LOL at JOHNN on Johnny's back. fire the tailor

[6to1]

Anthony Michael Hall. Now there's a celebrity.
i liked him better when he looked like a nerd i wonder if he will be in a wrestling angle tonight.

[Blitz]

Why isn't Nicky doing his girlish screams? :(

[Blitz]

There's a Y there too, Hanso.

[loopydate]

i liked him better when he looked like a nerd i wonder if he will be in a wrestling angle tonight.

Nah. They're just hyping the new season of Dead Zone.

So, who else thinks that the guest referee for the HBK/Kenny match is going to be Johnny...and Mikey and Nicky and Mitch?

[Blitz]

Already announced, loopy. It's Shane O Mac

[Hanso Amore]

There's a Y there too, Hanso.

My bad, His trunks were covering them when I made the post, then his tights worked down some.

[jj62185]

So, who else thinks that the guest referee for the HBK/Kenny match is going to be Johnny...and Mikey and Nicky and Mitch?

the referee is gonna be Shane

[ThruTheWire]

Nah. They're just hyping the new season of Dead Zone.

So, who else thinks that the guest referee for the HBK/Kenny match is going to be Johnny...and Mikey and Nicky and Mitch?

They already said it was shane..

[Azriel]

Did Shane go gray faster than his father?

[RGWhat316]

Pissed off cus the Pistons just lost, but now I got to deal with the Spirit Squad? This is a bad few minutes.

[Blitz]

Wow, this match has gone entirely too long.

[Blitz]

FUCKING' AWESOME SPOT :love:

[Azriel]

That was some Bulldog

[Hanso Amore]

Shit, Im out of beer.

Why do SS matches last so long, yet the SS dont do much in the ring.

[The Optimist]

WTF!!! Trampoline Bulldog

[Dorkchop]

Snitsky is hilarious to watch as a face.

[Blitz]

I feel like Homer Simpson

"TRAMBOLINE! TRAMBOPOLINE!"

[Blitz]

Hot promo coming up :y:

[ClockShot]

Back a little early. Did I miss much?

[mike627]

Foley=ratings!

[Azriel]

Mick certainly doesn't look heelish. I'm intrigued to see how this will play out

[RGWhat316]

Damn, that was a sweet bulldog.

[Hanso Amore]

They need to have Snitsky keep losing, and when Goldust comfronts him, he can say "IT wasnt my fault" due to outside interference. Boom, keep the funny segments and fued going.

If this makes no sense cut me some slack, Im like 8 beers in.

[RGWhat316]

Wonder how edited the crowd is gonna be on the WM DVD?

[NeanderCarl]

Funk ain't 53... try 63

[Azriel]

Hmm, nice ECW spot

[The Optimist]

They need to have Snitsky keep losing, and when Goldust comfronts him, he can say "IT wasnt my fault" due to outside interference. Boom, keep the funny segments and fued going.

If this makes no sense cut me some slack, Im like 8 beers in.
That would be badass, though I don't know how many times they want to pull back to Snitsky's baby murdering days.

[Azriel]

Here we go

[Blitz]

Shit, Lita should turn on Edge and go with Foley to ECW.

Where she'd promptly be booed out of the building.

[RGWhat316]

Still acting face. Have to wait and see.

[The Optimist]

Is it just me or has Dreamer taken like a million crotch shots in his career?

[ClockShot]

Judging from what I'm reading, Spirit Squad won in an over ran match, Detroit lost, and the Yankees are still losing. God what a bad night.

[mike627]

I don't think it matters what Foley does he will always be cheered.

[ClockShot]

Shit, Lita should turn on Edge and go with Foley to ECW.

Where she'd promptly be booed out of the building.

Lita has roots in ECW. But true, she could be booed out.

[mike627]

Terry Funk will return tonite.

[The Optimist]

That was a great thing to answer. . . I was going to post about that but I decided not to because I don't like to talk about Melina.

Damn it, if you say her name two more times she will appear and run amok

[Hanso Amore]

Is it just me or has Dreamer taken like a million crotch shots in his career?

He is good at what he does....

[Blitz]

Terry Funk's getting beatdown.

[Hanso Amore]

FUNK!

[Boondock Saint]

FUNK

[ClockShot]

Good call mike.

[Azriel]

Well, now

[Blitz]

Lita has roots in ECW. But true, she could be booed out.
I'm aware. That's why she should go with Foley. But the ECW fans would still probably hate her, despite the fact that she started there.

[Hanso Amore]

OH MY GOD HE IS DRUNK!

[mike627]

Good call mike. thanx!:cool:

[Blitz]

Foley is the man. :D

[ClockShot]

Whoa! Nice promo!

[Blitz]

God I missed Heel Foley.

[Hanso Amore]

Did Funk say that he knows why Mick did it, then asked why Mick did it?

[The Optimist]

Micks trying so hard to defend a point that makes no sense. . .damn it WWE

BTW it does look like Funk is drunk.

[jj62185]

Did Funk say that he knows why Mick did it, then asked why Mick did it?

lol.. i was wondering if i was the only one who caught that

[Hanso Amore]

Fuck is coming off as a Heel

[RGWhat316]

Hmmmmmmm, making Funk a heel?

[Blitz]

FOLEY :love: :love: :love:

[Hanso Amore]

this is pathetic

[ClockShot]

HOLY SHIT!

[The Optimist]

Its just unstoppable, Foley is just too perfect, he is untouchable, he turns thing around even when he doesn't want to.

[Hanso Amore]

LOL~ Nice insult

[Blitz]

this is pathetic
Are you watching the same promo I am?

[RGWhat316]

good tv right here

[Blitz]

Vintage ECW Foley right thurr.

[Hanso Amore]

WHAT THE FUCK THIS IS THE ECW Cactus Jack "Pro WCW" bischoff fan angle all over again

[Boondock Saint]

Did Funk say that he knows why Mick did it, then asked why Mick did it?
lol, yes

[Hanso Amore]

This the the same exact thing as in 1995. Replace WCW with WWE....Same goddamn People, Funk and Foley

[loopydate]

Now that's how you turn heel. You beat the hell out of Terry Funk in Texas.

[ClockShot]

Ah great promo. Shame it had to end like this.

[The Optimist]

WHAT THE FUCK THIS IS THE ECW Cactus Jack "Pro WCW" bischoff fan angle all over againYeah, yeah it is. . .

[Hanso Amore]

They even re-used the same Promo...

Foley takes the Wife insult, the kid insult, but not the WWE one

[Boondock Saint]

That was good shit. Edge ruins stuff for me, but nonetheless, good times.

[mike627]

That was cool,Heyman must have booked it!

[Blitz]

This the the same exact thing as in 1995. Replace WCW with WWE....Same goddamn People, Funk and Foley
If you're gonna redo an angle, might as well make sure it's a good one.

And this one is.

[Boondock Saint]

JUdgment Day is this weekend? Wow.

[The Optimist]

Has anyone thought about the fact that Edge and Foley have both been wrestling regularly while Funk is well. . . and Dreamer has well. . .

I got nuthin'

[loopydate]

Giant Gonzalez + Clothes = The Great Khali

[Azriel]

They rehashed a promo? That doesn't seem like something Mick would do.

[RGWhat316]

Can we already say that Undertaker/Great Khali is already gonna be a Worst Match of the Year candidate?

[Blitz]

Striker :y:

[Azriel]

On the same wavelength Loopy. It's like Khali is Gonzalez' son or something.

Striker!!

[ClockShot]

Matt Striker. I take it he's going up against Carlito. Again?

[Blitz]

Eugene, probably.

[Savio]

Yeah I read about that promo in the book. It reminded me of it, good for me though since I haven't seen it before.

[Hanso Amore]

That was cool,Heyman must have booked it!

He did, 10 Years ago

[ClockShot]

Damn. Good call Blitz.

[mike627]

Striker*yawns*

[Azriel]

So, they going to go with a tag match at ONS then?

[ClockShot]

Whew. Almost threw my TV out the window.

[RGWhat316]

Eugene really hasn't changed much in 2 years has he?

[Blitz]

Finally got to see Striker's finisher :y:

[ClockShot]

Nice Finisher. Name suggestions?

[Innovator]

If they're gonna redo storylines, at least they're redoing good ones

[RawRocks]

The finisher should be called the Final Exam. lol

[RGWhat316]

I met The King yesterday at a sports card show. Got a picture with him thats in the photo album forum.

[Hanso Amore]

The CLass Act

[mrslackalack]

Watching Funks promo tonight I thought A DVD of his would be awesome. Footage of NWA, Florida Championship Wrestling, WCW and his ECW and WWE stints in different eras could be used plus a great documentary.

[RGWhat316]

Maria :drool:

[Azriel]

Ahh, Maria :drool:

[Blitz]

Striker's finisher is called the Golden Rule, I think.

[ThruTheWire]

hah they left the heart up on the screen.

[Blitz]

LOL at the heart during the recap.

[The Optimist]

New Era. . .wonder what that means. :saracasm:

[RGWhat316]

LOL, we know what Maria does.

[Savio]

In subsequent weeks, Kane began attacking anyone who mentioned the date "May 19 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/May_19)" (the scheduled release date of the film See No Evil (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/See_No_Evil_%28film%29) and the date on which, in 1998, much of the information on the childhood of the Kane character was initially revealed).

[Azriel]

HHH could stare daggers through someone

And this Candice/Vince thing is really disgusting

[Blitz]

Good Lord how many more Vince/Candice segments will we be subjected to?

[Innovator]

UUUUUMMMMMMAAAAGGAAAA

[RawRocks]

ok.. not this again

[Azriel]

No, your name is Lou Bega

[ClockShot]

Just close the window.
