Explosive edition of Raw
December 18, 2006

WWE.com has learned that on a special three-hour edition of Raw that begins at 8/7 CT, Rocky Balboa star Sylvester Stallone will make a rare appearance this Monday night and grant WWE an exclusive interview. What will the hard-hitting celeb have to say on this unprecedented and historic occasion?

Also, one Superstar will earn the opportunity to take on John Cena for the WWE Championship. In the biggest Battle Royal in Raw history, the Raw Superstars will compete in hopes that they’ll emerge victorious to challenge Cena for his title.

Cena has been on a roll the past few weeks, and is anxiously awaiting his upcoming matches with K-Fed on Jan. 1 and Umaga at New Year’s Revolution… but will he be entering those two matches as the WWE Champion?

Watch all the action of the special three-hour edition of Raw this Monday night at 8/7 CT on the USA Network.

Update on Joey Mercury
December 18, 2006

Joey Mercury’s face, a raw, inflamed mess with blood still seeping out from his stitches, was scarlet red around his nose and left eye with hundreds of flakes of dry blood clinging to various places on his face.

“I’ve shattered my nose around the bridge area,” said a bruised and swollen Mercury, who was severely injured at last night’s Armageddon pay-per-view in a Ladder Match. “I have four fractures on the inside of my nose; I have 5 stitches on the inside of my nose and my cheek and 15 stitches on the outside of my nose and cheek. My left eye is swollen shut and I have continual internal bleeding from my nose and my eye.”

To Mercury’s credit, the injury that would have knocked most people out cold only left him momentarily stunned.

“I remember everything [about the incident],” he said. “I never lost consciousness and I never passed out.”

Asked what it felt like when the legs of the ladder dug into his face and ripped a gaping hole down his nose and under his eye, he thought long and hard before he spoke.

“I have nothing to compare it to; I’ve never been hit that hard in the face before,” he said as he paused. “I’d have to say it felt like a hundred-pound steel ladder connecting with my face at one-hundred miles per hour; or going head first through a windshield of a car without a seatbelt on; maybe getting hit in the face with a baseball bat swung by Sammy Sosa.”

Mercury made it clear it was the outcome of the match, not the injury, that was on his mind the day after the ghastly incident.

“Had I not been forced to leave the match due to a severe amount of blood loss, MNM would be the WWE Tag Team Champions,” he said. “Again, we made it clear that MNM is the greatest tag team in the modern era – not The Hardys.”

[ClockShot]

That's a pretty picture of Mercury there.

[What Would Kevin Do?]

You know, I can't help but wonder if Mercury will get a push out of this.

[St. Jimmy]

With a face only Ike Turner could love.

[ClockShot]

Ah shit. Stallone is gonna be there. He better be over and done with in the first hour.

[St. Jimmy]

Ah shit. Stallone is gonna be there. He better be over and done with in the first hour.

Have some respect for RAMBO, mothafucka'.

[Destor]

LOL

[Caged Heat18]

Big three hour show. I hope its good tonight.

[ClockShot]

Have some respect for RAMBO, mothafucka'.

I love Rambo. I'm all for the new one he's got planned. But he should have left Rocky alone. The last thing I need tonight is an interview.

[St. Jimmy]

Gonna call Carlito winning the battle Royal.

[Hanso Amore]

Poor mercury. That shit is bad looking. he needs push

[Destor]

Here's hoping folks. :y:

[ClockShot]

Anyone got a list for that 30 man Battle Royal tonight?

[Hanso Amore]

The sarge is in tonight....I knew they were going to have to dig up some randoms

[St. Jimmy]

Lawler and Sarge in the BR? LOL.

Love how Shawn and Trips are using thier normal entrances tonight. Thank Christ.

[St. Jimmy]

last one in is OBV going to be Trips.

[6to1]

wait till thunder lips shows up with him brother

[St. Jimmy]

What, no Edge? What the fuck is this shit?

[Caged Heat18]

Gonna call Carlito winning the battle Royal.

I would love to see that.

[UmbrellaCorporation]

Mercury should obviously win by default of being a badass.

[UmbrellaCorporation]

^

even though he isn't there, too.

[ClockShot]

wait till thunder lips shows up with him brother

To be honest with ya, that did cross my mind.

[St. Jimmy]

LMAO First eliminated... poor Carlito.

[ClockShot]

Sorry Jimmy. You lose.

[Caged Heat18]

Oh man that sucks. Carlito's the first to be eliminated.

[UmbrellaCorporation]

Carlito + First Eliminated = WTF?


Is Nitro in this? I haven't seen him yet, and it pisses me off. :foc:

[UmbrellaCorporation]

wait, there he is. false alarm.

but lol @ Ron Simmons being there.

[St. Jimmy]

Ron Simmons? LOL.

[St. Jimmy]

These guys are really just phoning this in.

[UmbrellaCorporation]

Love the Snitsky megabeard by the way.

[ClockShot]

Bummer. I figured Big Vis would be in there for a while.

[St. Jimmy]

Also, who are the McRandoms in this? One guy looked like Jericho, and I was like "!" but then I realised it wasn't, and I wanted to kill him.

[Hanso Amore]

Who is in the red pants with black knees and boots? Short hair. I dont recognize him. Anyone got a list?

[Fenix122]

i need some up to the minute updates because my mom is making us watch deal or no deal instead right now.

[Destor]

These guys are really just phoning this in.Hey, about you shut the fuck up. It's a battle royal. What they hell can they do?

[The One]

How many times does JR need to remind us that it could end up being HHH/HBK ending?

[St. Jimmy]

Let's hope JTG, Trips, or Masters wins.

[The One]

DAMN!

[Hanso Amore]

DAMN!

[UmbrellaCorporation]

LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL, I always laugh at that, even when I know it's coming.





DAMN

[St. Jimmy]

Hey, about you shut the fuck up. It's a battle royal. What they hell can they do?

:lol: I love you, mang.

[UmbrellaCorporation]

WGTT gone, but it's good to see they lasted as long as they did.

But WTF @ Murdoch being in still?

[Caged Heat18]

Eugene's still in!

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>LOL @ the Jericho lookalike being Johnny

Definately didn't recognize him at all</font>

[St. Jimmy]

Nice DDT.

[UmbrellaCorporation]

Yay, the first move of the match not to be a punch or a kick!

All hail the DDT!

[St. Jimmy]

LOL at the Blatent No-Sell of that chop by Orton.

[ClockShot]

Uh oh. Eugene is gonna snap.

[The One]

Bye bye Flair

[6to1]

time to send eugene back to jobber land

[St. Jimmy]

holy shit, Trips shaved. o_ o

[Jura]

Edge, Orton, Masters and Nitro is an interesting group. I don't care about the other guy.

[Caged Heat18]

Time for DX to do some squashing.

[SuperSlim]

who is the guy in the white pants?

[UmbrellaCorporation]

Who the hell is the guy in the white pants?

I know Lance Cade didn't last this long.

[ClockShot]

Garrison Cade

[St. Jimmy]

NOOOOOOOOOOOO. Not Masters AND TRIPS. =/

[UmbrellaCorporation]

Wow, it's actually Lance Cade. o_o

[ClockShot]

Oh shit. Trips is out.

[Fignuts]

Shawn winning the belt would be a great way to break DX up.

[6to1]

looks like cade is getting a little push good

[Skippord]

SHAWN MICHAELS OVERCOMES THE ODDS BAHGAWD

[St. Jimmy]

Edge is gonna win. ^_^

[SuperSlim]

Lance Cade? Why? If he wins that will be the biggest fluke and then you know that Cena is just gonna ... blah

[Skippord]

Why the hell is Cade still in there

[Skippord]

Nvm

[ClockShot]

Cade is gone. I REALLY thought he had a shot.

[Destor]

Why the hell is Cade still in there
Because.

[SuperSlim]

what be the purpose of Orton winning to job? HBK wins it, overcoming the odds, then due to all the abuse he suffered in the royal he isn't strong enough to overcome the almighty John Cena.

[Destor]

Fun last 10 minutes.

[Caged Heat18]

Oh boy. Edge/Cena again.

[SuperSlim]

well I guess Edge gets to job again

[Fenix122]

who didn't see that coming

[Skippord]

TEAM RATED BAWGAWD RKO

[St. Jimmy]

Well, atleast the ME is gonna be Decent. EDGE :love:

[ClockShot]

That was a shitty ending. Here I am waiting for the trademark Skin the Cat from HBK.

[6to1]

i saw this last year on smackdown

[Skippord]

Edge V Cena part 400000000000

[Skippord]

I love Edge though

[PullMyFinger]

If WWE were to be good again, they'd be more spontaneous. I'd have HBK win it...he goes to face Cena at the end of the night, and Cena turns heel in that matchup.

[Destor]

Cena Edge has been feud of the year. I have no complaints that it continue. (It's better than Triple H Rock part 4,000,000,000,000,000 back in 2000.)

[St. Jimmy]

I'd much rather see Edge/Umaga than Cena/Umaga.

[Hanso Amore]

if I hear TEAM rated RKO again im going to kill myself. Next up, Team Worlds greatest tag team

[Fignuts]

If Edge doesn't win the belt, then this whole thing is pointless.

[ClockShot]

This is the same video as last year.

[St. Jimmy]

Disclaimer: RVD Does not endorse Tribute to the Troops.

[Skippord]

if I hear TEAM rated RKO again im going to fly to Oklahoma and kill JR. Next up, Team Worlds greatest tag team

[6to1]

l

[Fignuts]

yesssssssssssssss

come on orton turn

[UmbrellaCorporation]

If Edge doesn't win the belt, then this whole thing is pointless.


QFT.

[St. Jimmy]

Maria-omigod. :drool:

[SuperSlim]

so did Masters roid up again or what cause he did get really buff really really quick

[ClockShot]

DAMN!

[St. Jimmy]

Oh shit... WOW... That's like a hammer to the face.

[SuperSlim]

oh damn... that sliced his face

[UmbrellaCorporation]

Two things.

One: -Maria- demanded this match? GG, JR.


Two: Joey Mercury is the man. Instant win.

[Jura]

so did Masters roid up again or what cause he did get really buff really really quick

It was Chris' twin you saw before. Chris' twin is leaner and sports a goatee. He filled in for a little while.

[Fenix122]

One: -Maria- demanded this match? GG, JR.


okay so that is what i heard...:lol:

[St. Jimmy]

We really have 2:45 left of RAW... damn...

[St. Jimmy]

We def. need one of the classic 30 Minute Trips promos.

[Hanso Amore]

OLEG FUCKING PRUDIUS

[ClockShot]

Wha wha wha who?

[St. Jimmy]

Kay. That wasn't creepy at all.

[Fignuts]

lol what>?

[Skippord]

DOUBLE DOUBLE E

[Hanso Amore]

Masters is def back on the juice

[Destor]

Ludwig Borga II!

[SuperSlim]

What that Russian guy say?

[Hanso Amore]

How sweet would it have been if Punk was a surprise entrant and won the battle royal.

[St. Jimmy]

Shut up JR. Torrie coulda broke the masterlock. All she had to do was wiggle that ass, cause masters to "rise to the occasion".

[Hanso Amore]

How did Carlito get busted iopen?

[St. Jimmy]

Carlito blade, or was that Legit?

[Caged Heat18]

Well that was interesting.

[Fignuts]

So was that russian guy actually an mma star, or is he some new wrestler?

[Caged Heat18]

Melina's cleavage is up next

[Hanso Amore]

Carlito blade, or was that Legit?

His eyes were welling up when he walkedup the ramp, I think it was legit

[Skippord]

Carlito pulled a Mercury

[Skippord]

RANDOM SIG

[St. Jimmy]

Carlito pulled a Mercury

You pigfucker, I was just going to say that.

[Hanso Amore]

So was that russian guy actually an mma star, or is he some new wrestler?


Both I think. If I remember correctly he was a crossover that the E signed and has been in OVW. Maybe he was a russian amatuer wrestler.

[UmbrellaCorporation]

Nitro time FTW.

[St. Jimmy]

Pretty sad that Mercury had to subdue himself into head trauma to get some face time.

[Skippord]

You pigfucker, I was just going to say that.
That was mean :'(

[Hanso Amore]

Nitro is the fucking shit

[Hanso Amore]

Haas...Westside?

[Caged Heat18]

And yes, yet another handicap match this year.

[SuperSlim]

Milena needs to burst out of that top already... she's been hiding them for far too long.

[Skippord]

So are the Hardy's just permanently teaming or what?

[Hanso Amore]

Question: Who thinks Jeff would have been a world champ by now had he never got fired?

[Caged Heat18]

So are the Hardy's just permanently teaming or what?

I doubt the WWE even knows the answer to that.

[UmbrellaCorporation]

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v388/Airhammer/Girls/WWE%20Divas/MelinaSurvivorSeries06b.jpg

Irrelevant, I know, but Nitro's face and cleavage = win.

[St. Jimmy]

Holy shit, I just figured it out. They're slowly melding the brands again, and testing the waters to see if the Audience wants the rosters to be merged again.

[SuperSlim]

Shooot... Milena Cleavage wins

[Fenix122]

did JR just call that the twist of fate???

[Destor]

JR acknowledged Matt is a SD! superstar.

[St. Jimmy]

That was mean :'(

We all eff' the pig sometimes. Nothin' but love. (not like KK's love :( :'( :o )

[DCXtreme]

Pigs have tight little brown eyes that just want to be poked

[Skippord]

KK doesnt love :(

[Hanso Amore]

Bah Gawd jeff Hardy with a twist of fate, now is his climbing the ropes for the twist of fate! Wait, reversal into a twist of fate....


STUNNER BAH GAWD

[Destor]

Pigs have tight little brown eyes that just want to be pokedYeah I know exactly what you mean...er...wait...wtf are you on about?

[SuperSlim]

[ClockShot]

[Hanso Amore]

[DCXtreme]

[SuperSlim]

SuperSlim u trying to tell me ur brown eye never waters

[SuperSlim]

I'm just kidding girl i'm sure ur alright! but how do u know, have u looked in the mirror

[St. Jimmy]

Nitro needs some new music. Really starting to like him.

[Fenix122]

lol
King: Jeff has got to recuperate fast.
J.R.: and quickly

[Hanso Amore]

Umaga gets worse every week.

And the way they are blowing Cena through heels, you would think he is Hulk in the 4 year title run.

[St. Jimmy]

I'm taking my piss-break now. Tell me what I miss.

[The Naitch]

HULK HOGAN !!!!!!!!!!! :eek:

[Batsu]

Oh no, K-Fed.

[ClockShot]

Look at this scumbag.

[SuperSlim]

K-Fed looks gay... he shoulda grabbed her butt in that hug. I would have.

[Skippord]

Fuck Federline

[Fenix122]

i can't understand a word he is saying

[Skippord]

Me niether

[SuperSlim]

He's saying something about how the movie will be good and something about a manager and something fuses... what the hell is he talking about?

[ClockShot]

WE WANT RAMBO! *clap clap clapclapclap*

[ClockShot]

"Murdoch.........I'M COMING TO GET YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

[UmbrellaCorporation]

I MUST BREAK YOU

[Fenix122]

i can see it now... Rocky VII. Rocky dies but comes back from the dead to fight an alien dead set on world domination but will leave if someone beats him in a boxing match.

[UmbrellaCorporation]

IF HE DIES, HE DIES.

[Skippord]

Stallone: Who's Kevin Federline?

[Batsu]

What the heck? They got Sly Stallone on RAW?

[SuperSlim]

why is Cena gettin ready for his match now and he doesn't have to compete for another hour?

[The Naitch]

HBK wins this

Umage destroys Cena and HBK at the end, no contest

[Fenix122]

hey strahan...how about you stop eating sandwiches with jared and get back on the football field

[The Naitch]

oh shit, my bad, Edge won

[ClockShot]

MNF. 10-3 Colts.

[The Genius]

[Batsu]

Kenny (Lenny) Dykstra? LMFAO.

[Skippord]

Dykstra? who's fucking idea was that

[Batsu]

A Mets fan.

[Fenix122]

A Mets fan.

[Evil Vito]

GOD DAMN IT THE WWE TITLE MATCHES ARE SUPPOSED TO BE THE MAIN EVENT! STOP PISSING ON THE TITLE'S LEGACY :foc: :mad:

[ClockShot]

MNF. 10-10.

[SuperSlim]

I thought the winner of the battle royal faces John Cena at THE END of the show.

[St. Jimmy]

Why the shit is this not the last match? Definatly why the shit is this not after K-Fed's bullshit.

[ClockShot]

What are the odds the boys backstage forgot this was supposed to go 3 hours?

[Skippord]

Vince: Good Show everyone
Writers: Um there's still another hour left
Vince: SHIT SEND DX OUT THERE AND HAVE EM TALK ABOUT COCK

[SuperSlim]

minor observation. I hated the way the Rock carried the world title to the ring. He just dragged it on the ground to the ring. Where is the respect at?

[St. Jimmy]

You think Edge and Cena can go for 60 Minutes?

[St. Jimmy]

Edge needs to hit the gym. :/

[ClockShot]

Here we go. A good dueling chant!

[St. Jimmy]

:lol: Nevermind. I Should talk.

[The Naitch]

minor observation. I hated the way the Rock carried the world title to the ring. He just dragged it on the ground to the ring. Where is the respect at?

atleast Rocky doesn't fantasize about having sex with children :lol:

[SuperSlim]

I don't think cena could go for 60 minutes. well wait he could. It can't be that hard to punch and do a suplex for 60 minutes.

[Skippord]

LETS GO CENA
LETS GO EDGE

[SuperSlim]

atleast Rocky doesn't fantasize about having sex with children :lol:

:wtf:

[St. Jimmy]

[The Naitch]

[St. Jimmy]

Kinda really over-doing this Bod commercial. Supergay.

[ClockShot]

Knicks got a good game going post-brawl.

[SuperSlim]

yeah Slim, pretend like you don't know what I'm talking about. Pedo :lol:

No I mean I understand that you're trying to bring up an year old joke that holds no relevance in today's time. It's just pointless. I mean what is it that you're trying to prove? What are you trying to accomplish? What are you trying to do by saying it cause it makes little to no sense.

[ClockShot]

YES!!!!!

[Skippord]

BULLPLOP

[Skippord]

FUCK THAT JEWREF

[Skippord]

Got a little carried away there

[St. Jimmy]

CENA, BAHGAWD THE DIRECTORS CUT FROM THE TOP.

[Fenix122]

fame asser from the top rope

[SuperSlim]

Cena with a top rope Fameasser? that's new

[SuperSlim]

now what I don't understand is why did that gay ref stop counting just cause Edge laid his arm on the rope. he laid it on the rope... it isn't like it would offer any leverage at all.

[St. Jimmy]

PRETEEN GIRL CAM, BAHGAWD!

[Batsu]

Dammit, and here I thought they almost screwed Edge.

[St. Jimmy]

RKO! HELL YES!

[St. Jimmy]

DX?! HELL NO!

[SuperSlim]

ahhh crap... this is gonna blow like a cheap whore

[ClockShot]

NO, NO, NO, NO!

[Batsu]

BULLSHIT

Dammit, Orton kicked ass with the RKO
then HHH with the Pedigree

[St. Jimmy]

WTF ARE YOU DOING?! NO! FUCK YOU!

[Fenix122]

lol orton lifted that ref like he weighed 5 lbs.

[St. Jimmy]

NO, MOTHERFUCKER, NO!

[Batsu]

GAY.

HHH has to Pedigree Edge to get the win... LOL, who books this crap?

[ClockShot]

*walks outside and screams*

[St. Jimmy]

Someone needs a fucking heel turn. Now. I'm sick of being up to my ass in heroes and faces.

[owenbrown]

DAMN YOU, DX! :mad: :foc: WHY DID YOU SCREW EDGE OUT OF THE TITLE?! HE WAS SUPPOSED TO WIN IT TO KEEP IT OUT OF K-FED'S HANDS :foc:

[St. Jimmy]

So tempted to turn the TV off now and just say "FUCK IT". Watch some MST3K.

[Batsu]

and knowing WWE... they'll give it to wack-ass Umaga.

[ClockShot]

Knicks just won a thriller against the Jazz.

[St. Jimmy]

I don't give ass who gets the belt off of Cena. Just do it already.

[ClockShot]

EVERYBODY KNOW WHAT TIME IT IS?

[St. Jimmy]

What...? Edge working 3 Matches? What a gamer.

[Fenix122]

Cryme Tyme time

[Batsu]

You know... John Cena's music is the only rap theme that sounds like some real rap music...and that's sad.

[ClockShot]

YO!

[St. Jimmy]

Cryme Time gets a angle! WGTT vs. Cryme Time at NYR.
