A powder keg waiting to explode
July 3, 2006

WATCH: RAW Rebound

Monday Night RAW is sure to see plenty of fireworks when it rolls into Philadelphia just one day before America’s Independence Day.

But according to WWE Chairman Mr. McMahon's latest announcement, D-Generation X won't be providing any of the aforementioned fireworks. After being embarrassed and literally put down in the dumps by DX last week, The Chairman has banned Shawn Michaels and Triple H from the Wachovia Center in Philadelphia. But DX's motto has always been to defy authority. What will that mean for Monday Night RAW?

Last week, John Cena looked to have the WWE Championship won before Edge ran in and broke up his STFU on Rob Van Dam. The Rated-R Superstar then laid out both Cena and Van Dam. Edge also popped up at ECW one Sci Fi and speared RVD after his match against Kurt Angle. All three will square off July 15 at Saturday Night's Main Event in a Triple Threat Match for the WWE Championship, but they will get a small taste of what that will be like in a Pick Your Partner Triple Threat Tag Team Match. Each Superstar will get to choose their own partner. Who else will participate in the match? We'll find out when RAW hits the air live at 9/8 CT on the USA Network.

The Intercontinental Championship will be on the line tonight as well. Johnny Nitro, who won the gold in a Triple Threat Match at Vengeance, will put his gold on the line against Carlito. Some might say that Nitro stole the gold from Carlito at Vengeance, when he pinned Shelton Benjamin after Carlito hit the back cracker. Plus, last week Nitro and the lovely Melina got in former Women's Champion Trish Stratus' face, but Carlito saved the day and came to her rescue. With the bad blood building over the last couple of weeks, and with the gold on the line, this is sure to be a brutal contest.

And the Divas will be in action this week as well. Last week Torrie Wilson showed off her new WWE Magazine Summer Special cover for everyone to see. Edge and Lita crashed the party, though, stating that it should be Edge that is on the cover of all the magazines. This week Lita will go one on one against Torrie Wilson. Will Torrie be able to get revenge for last week, or will the former Women's Champion Lita back up her man's words?

Plus, the Highlanders will be making their RAW debut this week. With Rory & Robbie McAllister being newcomers to America, there’s no better place to make their debut than in the cradle of Liberty itself, Philadelphia. It’s sure to be a debut you won’t want to miss.

Tune into the USA network Monday night at 9/8 CT to see the fireworks explode.

[rob11]

They always give Philly a good show, so I expect tonight to be no different.

[Azriel]

Wonder if there'll be any change to the show with the whole RVD/Sabu scandal?

[Xero]

Wonder if there'll be any change to the show with the whole RVD/Sabu scandal?
They'll probably team RVD and Sabu and make all kinds of drug jokes.

[Blitz]

Hopefully some good chants from the philly crowd when RVD gets out there.

[loopydate]

I wasn't particularly excited about tonight's show, since the Pick-A-Partner match is really predictable (Edge picks Foley, Cena picks Flair, RVD picks Sabu), but this situation with RVD and Sabu actually has me interested to see what they do.

[Azriel]

Interesting situation there loopy. You probably hit the nail on the head

[Azriel]

Curious to see how the Highlanders will do tonight

[Azriel]

Alright, HERE WE GOOOOO!!!

Good evening TPWW and welcome to Monday Night RAW.

[Blitz]

I could watch Shawn impersonate Shane all day long.

[ClockShot]

Mmmmmm. After reading the "big news" o the day. Tonight may be interesting. I'm missing good fireworks for this.

[ClockShot]

Good evening everybody. Good intro.

[Blitz]

What type of fluid will DX drop on someone this week?

[ClockShot]

Slime one week, shit the next, let's try........Semen?

[Blitz]

ROFL Shawn.

[Skippord]

LOL

[ClockShot]

God those are some ugly shirts.

[Azriel]

Hmm, wonder what they have planned?

[Blitz]

Just me, Az, and Clock in here tonight?

[Azriel]

Hopefully Nitro/Carlito will be interesting, but I doubt it.

[Blitz]

RVD's partner should be Towelie :shifty:

[ClockShot]

Little thing called the 4th of July coming up. Fireworks, parties, etc.

[Blitz]

I like that new Edge shirt.

[Skippord]

Just me, Az, and Clock in here tonight?
:'(

[ClockShot]

RVD's partner should be Towelie :shifty:

I'll see ya and raise you Fonzie.:yes:

[Skippord]

Yeah I like that shirt too

[Blitz]

:'(
Well, you weren't here at first.

[LK]

Wait a minute...this wouldn't be Edge using cheap heat to actually get some heat, would it?

[Blitz]

Ah, the old "RIp on the hometown sports teams" promo. Where would wrestling be without it?

[Skippord]

Fine then

[Skippord]

Shoulda bailed

[Skippord]

"Wanna Get High"

[ClockShot]

POT-HEAD, POT-HEA. R-V-D, R-V-D.

[LK]

Ah the guy that fucked up.

[LK]

Edge sucks

[Skippord]

Edge Owns

[Blitz]

Oh shit, if they book this as a triple threat, RVD's definitely jobbing tonight.

[ClockShot]

So. We're gonna get it over and done with early.

[Blitz]

"...because after tonight, I'm off to rehab!"

[LK]

Does anyone think that RVD might be losing tonight?

[Azriel]

Well, here you go

[Vazz]

RVD loses tonight i'm calling it. :shifty:
I bet noone thought of that. :roll:

[Skippord]

For the love of god dont let Cena win.

[ClockShot]

"After tonight, I'm saying B-Y-E."

[Blitz]

Yeah, I'm with the 'Pord on this. Edge better win.

[ClockShot]

Whoa. Philly's finest.

[Azriel]

Hmm, Dx having a tailgate party?

[6to1]

yep edge will get the belt tonight last we see of rvd for awhile.

[LK]

If anyone wants a pissbreak, use it now. Lita vs Torrie next.

[Skippord]

If Cena wins I RIOT

[Skippord]

I just broke my towelrack :'(

[St. Jimmy]

Changing the ME like that, definatly RVD jobbing =/

[Azriel]

So, Lita/Torrie getting done quickly I see

[St. Jimmy]

All I can hope is that the put the belt on Edge and not Cena.

[Blitz]

I just broke my towelrack :'(
LOL

[ClockShot]

Good god. Cover girl for the magazine? Is stacy back yet? That would make a good angle.

[LK]

I don't know who to back. Edge sucks so I hope he doesn't but then again Cena is equally terrible if not slightly worse.

[Skippord]

God everytime I hear Torries music I want to close my head in a door

[Blitz]

That was a lovely closeup.

[Skippord]

I wish I were that ref

[Thriller]

Anyone else find it funny they posted the legal papers on wwe.com

[korinkahn]

Torrie Wilson is the most beautiful white woman I have ever seen.

[Azriel]

Vince is paranoid

[St. Jimmy]

Snakes on a motherfuckin' plane!

[ClockShot]

Waste of Unlimited time.

[rob11]

Snakes on a motherfuckin' plane!
MARKS OUT!
I've had it with these motherfucking snakes on this motherfucking plane!

[Azriel]

A commercial on Unlimited? That's a waste

[Azriel]

I hope SOAP crashes and burns. Waste of celluiod

[Azriel]

Highlanders debut

[ClockShot]

THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE!

[Blitz]

When's the last time there was a 10 man tag on Raw?

[Skippord]

MARKS OUT FOR THE HIGHLANDERS

[Blitz]

SPIRIT SQUAD :love:

[ClockShot]

I hope SOAP crashes and burns. Waste of celluiod

Shaft is in it. And I think, if I got a good glimpse, Sela Ward.:wtf:

[Pepsi Man]

I wonder who will get the ECW World Title.

[LK]

The best thing on WWE TV right here - The Spirit Squad!!!

[ClockShot]

HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[St. Jimmy]

... the new job squad?

[Blitz]

Geez, it's the jobber all-star squad.

[Azriel]

Look, it's the JOB Squad

[6to1]

the 5 jobers, even worse they come out to hacksaws music.

[LK]

Is there any chance that this is being used as a way to give some jobbers their monthly performance on proper TV?

[Skippord]

Worst team ever

[ClockShot]

St. Jim, Az., and Blitz. Minds that think alike.

[NeanderCarl]

Can't believe Duggan's still getting booked. He sucked 20 years ago, he can only keep getting worse. If they really wanna use veteran stars, there are much better picks than "Hacksaw".

[Azriel]

Pepsi, I think the Big Show might be the next ECW champ

[ClockShot]

Score report: Yanks 2 - Indians 5. Bottom 7.

[Blitz]

Score report: Yanks 2 - Indians 5. Bottom 7.
However did you find the will to change the channel during this scintillating match?

[6to1]

Pepsi, I think the Big Show might be the next ECW champ
well it is a tossup ether show or sandman but i want the zombie

[Skippord]

HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[LK]

That was fucking cool!

[Skippord]

Fuck ouch

[Blitz]

Five Star Legdrop :heart:

[St. Jimmy]

swanton and legdrop combo was nice.

[ClockShot]

Ummmmmm. Picture in picture?

[Azriel]

That was a prettuy cool move

[Blitz]

well it is a tossup ether show or sandman but i want the zombie
You seriously think Sandman could be the next champ?

[Skippord]

LMAO

[LK]

lol at the Mr Fuji line!

[ClockShot]

FUJI!

[St. Jimmy]

LMFAO! "is that mr. fuji over there?!"

[Pepsi Man]

:D Mr. Fuji.

[Skippord]

MR Fuji LOL

[St. Jimmy]

DX is offically the best thing on WWE TV.

[Azriel]

Hmm, thought Yanks were taking the night off

[Blitz]

WTF, is Striker actually wrestling? With Conway, no less?

[ClockShot]

Girls from 1-800-HOO-KERS: $10,000
Grill: $400
A good promo: PRICELESS

There are some things Vince McMahon can't buy, for everything else, there's D-Generation X.

[LK]

Let me guess - Striker and Conway do the job to the Highlanders.

[Azriel]

Cool, Striker gets some TV time tonight.

[Skyler]

lol

[Azriel]

Undoubtedly LK

[Skippord]

HIGHLANDERS WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT

[ClockShot]

LOOK! IT'S ADRIAN PAUL AND CHRISTOPHER LAMBERT!

[Vazz]

Man drugs are crazy. Conway used to be so ripped.

[St. Jimmy]

This could be a good match.

[Blitz]

Striker finally gets some TV time, and he'll be jobbing :(

[Pepsi Man]

What the fuck is this, Sunday Morning Superstars?

[LK]

Where from Scotland were they billed from?

[Blitz]

This is some of the odddest offence I've ever seen.

LOL Striker, tho.

[Blitz]

Nice finisher.

[ClockShot]

Ha ha! Suckers! You all thought Striker was gonna wrestle!

[Blitz]

Girl's gonna come out from under the table.

[St. Jimmy]

is trips ice down his cock?

[ClockShot]

"I'm married. I'm married. I'm married."

[St. Jimmy]

OMG.

[Skippord]

What the hell

[St. Jimmy]

LMFAO.

[Azriel]

Ok, that was lousy camera work

[Vazz]

:|

[Blitz]

Cade and Murdoch :lol:

[St. Jimmy]

that "girl under the table joke" would have worked better if they did it to the camera man too.

[Blitz]

Man, that asian girl is sexy.

[Blitz]

Other one ain't bad either.

[Skippord]

DEGENERATION SLUTS

[McLegend]

Yeah not feeling DX tonight

[LK]

Could that have been a slight rip-off of the nWo angle many years ago?

[Zen v.W.o.]

DX are shit, and we're getting an abundance of it tonight.

[St. Jimmy]

... oh my god. this isn't a wrestling show. this.. OMFG DID HE JUST SAY ANDRE THE GIANT?!

[ClockShot]

WHAT THE! YOU MEAN MCMAHON GOT THIS TECHNOLOGY AND THE GOVERNMENT DON'T!

[ClockShot]

Since when did Ron Simmons come back to work?

[UmbrellaCorporation]

lol, I love these segments tonight.

[Pepsi Man]

What the fuck is with this episode of Raw? I'm not even really sure how to react to it.

[Azriel]

So, Maria is overseas? No Maria tonight? :(

[Pepsi Man]

Since when did Ron Simmons come back to work?
Quite a while ago. At least a year now, I think.

[LK]

Clockshot, after retiring from active competition, he got a PR job in the WWE doing stuff like what he is doing right now.

[ClockShot]

Really? I thought he hung up the boots or went down to an Agent role.

[Blitz]

The Fuck?

[ClockShot]

That's funny. But I expect him to inhale some helium.

[LK]

HAHAHAHAHAHA

[Skippord]

Laugh Out Loud

[Azriel]

Its live action Looney Tunes. Anyone remember Duck Amok?

[St. Jimmy]

LMAO. i don't care if this is rehashed or shitty, i'm laughing.

[ClockShot]

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Skippord]

Rolling On The Floor Laughing My Ass Off

[ClockShot]

Wow. I haven't heard the crickets in awhile.

[St. Jimmy]

Ok, that was pretty dumb, and corny and childish... but damn funny.

[LK]

Well this has been "interesting" to say the least.

[The Greater Power]

Is it just me, or is this in the running for most boring RAW of the year?

[ClockShot]

There's your sign: LET PAUL E RUN ECW

[Azriel]

Woohoo! Another lame DX/SS match :roll:

That was an awesome segment

[zdmay]

They showed alot of DX signs.

[St. Jimmy]

Ok, match of the night here.

[LK]

Melina - check

Now all I need is Armaaaando Alejaaadandro Eeeestrada to make the evening complete.

[St. Jimmy]

LMAO Fuck YEAH.

[Blitz]

[ClockShot]

Trish will probably drop by.

[Skippord]

LOL DX

[Azriel]

I love DX :lol:

[Blitz]

Chuck Norris for DX sign :lol:

[St. Jimmy]

Nitro definatly sloppy tonight... what the hell?

[LK]

To quote the ECW fans, Johnny Nitro you may have just fucked up.

[LK]

Nice to see that Shelton Benjamin has been dismissed to Heat.

[Blitz]

:wtf: a Pirouette?

[ClockShot]

There she is.

[Blitz]

Run Trish Run :drool:

[ClockShot]

Ouch. That had to hurt.

[St. Jimmy]

Nice. Definatly nice.

[Skippord]

LOL Carlito's Face

[ClockShot]

LOL!

[St. Jimmy]

This could be your last look at RVD on WWE folks. Enjoy it.

[ClockShot]

Paul's giving his blessing.

[Azriel]

DX-TV

[LK]

Was that the look of two men who realise that their dream has been flushed down the shitter or what?

[Azriel]

So, let me guess: Carlito/Trish vs. Melina/Nitro either next week or SNME

[Blitz]

Oh geez, look at Mickie. :drool:

[Azriel]

Is Unlimited crapping out for anybody else?

[ClockShot]

Here Azriel.

[LK]

Me as well

[Azriel]

Ah well. Sometimes I really hate technology

[Blitz]

Unlimited is fine for me.

[ClockShot]

God this Slut Search better go by faster than the Enterprise at Warp 9.

[rob11]

Well, something big seems to always happen in Philly and the first title change on Raw in 5 years will continue that. I hope Edge wins. Please not another Cena run.

[ClockShot]

NO! YANKS LOST!

[Skippord]

Awful

[Skippord]

[Blitz]

Don't get to see the SOAP commercials in Canada :'(

[Azriel]

Good point

[ClockShot]

Ah. The good ole days.

[Skippord]

SNAKES ON A MOTHERFUCKING HULK HOGAN

[St. Jimmy]

Shit shit shit orton shit shit shit.

[St. Jimmy]

Oh god. Here comes the Orton V.S. Hogan hype... =/

[Blitz]

Oh God, they're actually gonna push forward with Orton/Hogan.

[ClockShot]

What video package? I saw the forming of the nWo. Not the Brooke Hogan vid. Right?

[Azriel]

Hmm, no Kane tonight? Thats unusual

[ClockShot]

Alright. Let's get Taps or Nah nah nah nah playing and the RVD appreciation thread up and running.

[Skippord]

Oh god that match will be awful

[Azriel]

Yeah, thought Hogan was pretty much done with wrestling. it'd be a waste to face Orton just so Randy can add another name to his list

[St. Jimmy]

if RVD does job tonight, i think it's pretty sure the death of ECW.

[Blitz]

There is like no reaction for RVD.

[ClockShot]

Is it just me. Or did the crowd just go mute?

[Azriel]

Cena gives a lousy salute

[St. Jimmy]

Yeah, thought Hogan was pretty much done with wrestling. it'd be a waste to face Orton just so Randy can add another name to his list

Hogan's contract lists him to make all matches/finishes he participates in... and you think he'd job to Orton... :rofl:

[Azriel]

No DQ? Interesting.

[St. Jimmy]

Oh shit... no DQ no CO... RVD is definatly losing tonight.

[ClockShot]

Mmmmmm. A fair amount of Anti-Cena out there.

[Skippord]

New Av

[Savio]

Maybe RVD shouldn't be a dumbass and Toke up during a title run.

[Azriel]

On the contrary, i think its pro Cena tonight

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>This match has no environment whatsoever

Though tbh, drug scandal and all, I'm shocked RVD was boo'ed in Philly..Cena got jeers too</font>

[St. Jimmy]

Maybe RVD shouldn't be a dumbass and Toke up during a title run.

if things work out the way they're looking, he'll learn the hard way.

[Azriel]

I think because the fans realized RVD probably screwed ECW

[Skippord]

"LETS GO EDGE LETS GO EDGE LETS GO EDGE"
