The first Raw after WrestleMania saw Shawn Michaels eliminate his partner John Cena in a Tag Team Battle Royal, The Hardys crowned new World Tag Team Champions and ECW World Champion Bobby Lashley continue his dominance against all who dare to face him in the ring.

Also last week, third-generation Superstar Randy Orton confronted Shawn Michaels backstage. Later in the night, it was announced that on the next Raw, Orton will face Michaels for a chance to compete for the WWE Championship. A match featuring The Legend Killer and The Showstopper in the same ring will no doubt be thrilling for WWE fans; who will prevail?

Fan favorite Mick Foley announced that on Raw next week, he will continue his charity work by making a special Make-A-Wish announcement. WWE Superstars pride themselves in reaching out to help their communities and inspire WWE fans with what they do in the ring, as well as what they do for their fellow man. What will the Hardcore Legend’s announcement reveal?

WWE.com has also learned that Edge will host a special edition of The Cutting Edge tonight on Raw. His guest will be none other than WWE Champion John Cena.

Find out this and more on Raw, Monday night at 9/8 CT on USA Network!

[St. Jimmy]

Word.

[Xero]

LOL, I hope they make references to TNA before Shane gets serious.

Shane: I've got something TOTALLY, NEW and AWESOME for you guys! It's not your average SAMOAN JOE, and Apple Jacks, they ain't my STYLE. But I'm here to make a huge IMPACT tonight, and I'm sure you'll find it as riveting as a SIX SIDED sign!

[St. Jimmy]

I'm trying to work with that. I'll just LOL if it's a Marcus Cor Von run in.

[Destor]

So, am I the only one legitimently hyped about HBK/Orton? the comercials have me thinking this is gonna be hot tonight...

[Xero]

With a guitar no less.

Actually, it probably WILL involve Cor Von in some way. Maybe they're giving him a title shot.

[KingofOldSchool]

Snitsky will help Shane O Mac.

[Xero]

That doesn't tie into the TNA hints though.

Hey, I bet they're going to call the Pounce the Impact.

[St. Jimmy]

That doesn't tie into the TNA hints though.

Hey, I bet they're going to call the Pounce the Impact.

LOL, Yes.

[Xero]

And when he's setting it up, Styles will say that he's "Getting into the Impact Zone".

[KingofOldSchool]

And after he hits it Tazz can go "The Impact is REAL, it's DAMN REAL!"

[Outsider]

It better be good. It doesn't finish until 4am and my boss is picking me up at 9 :mad:

[Outsider]

Heat blows.

[Destor]

Go to bed Outsider. Save yourself some dissapointment.

[Outsider]

Oh awesome. Viscera. How the fuck does he still have a job?

[Outsider]

Go to bed Outsider. Save yourself some dissapointment.

If I wanted to stop disappointment, I'd just stop watching.

[Lord-Of-Darkness]

Yeah, I did the same last week. Except I had work at 7. I felt robbed of sleep. And last week was a good Raw by todays standards....

[Destor]

Depressing.

[ClockShot]

Tonight is make a wish night. I wish to see Edge get revenge and throw Cena into L.I.S. and Eugene finally get a gimmick.

[St. Jimmy]

WTF, Tpww died.

[KingofOldSchool]

Well thanks to the boards being really slow..

[ClockShot]

The fuck happened. Overload of guests or some shit. Then again the entire internet has been acting weird.

[St. Jimmy]

Did Naitch and Carlito beat the Rednecks, I missed it.

[ClockShot]

Negative.

[KingofOldSchool]

So is Shane O Mac walking out of Raw the ECW Champ?

[St. Jimmy]

So hopefully they'll bump the Tag Title match off the backlash card, since it's not even worth the time.

[St. Jimmy]

Shane winning the ECW title would be kinda awesome.

[KingofOldSchool]

Shane McMahon will win the ECW Title tonight with the help of Umaga.

[St. Jimmy]

Was that a Neckbreaker, or a DDT off the rope?

[ClockShot]

I could see Shane-O walking out as champ. But he's gotta have backup. Umaga is on fence right now.

[KingofOldSchool]

I thought the women's tag was pretty good.

[St. Jimmy]

RONNIE GARVIN STOMP.

[St. Jimmy]

How are they going to turn this situation into a fatal fourway?

[ClockShot]

Come on Trips. Bridgeport is about 15 minute drive from Greenwich. Atleast show up.

[St. Jimmy]

REF BUMP *drink*

[KingofOldSchool]

How are they going to turn this situation into a fatal fourway?

That's easy.

There will be no clear cut #1 contender.

[St. Jimmy]

RKO on the floor. Ow.

[St. Jimmy]

LOL, that spear was the weakest shit ever.

[St. Jimmy]

Either JR has a mouthful of Jibblets, or he's having a stroke.

[ClockShot]

That's a damn fast count.

[Pepsi Man]

wtf they didn't even do the double count

Terrible.

[St. Jimmy]

Both sets of shoulders on the mat, obviously two refs.... HMMMM... WONDER WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN HERE

[KingofOldSchool]

A draw.

See?

It's not that hard to make it a four way.

[ClockShot]

Ah shit. They're going with the double pin.

[Jordan]

Jesus Christ, do they think I am a fucking retard? They did the same finish except much better at Beware of Dog IYH with Bulldog and Shawn. Fucking gay. FUCKING GAY

[Corndad]

Well good evening gentleman. TPWW was crapping out on me there for a little bit, but im here. Looks like the 4-way is gonna happen. and WTF at Cade and Murdoch getting a PPV match?

[ClockShot]

Well. That was interesting.

Shawn went back to old music and ring gear. Wondering if they are gonna make DX slowly dissapear.

[KingofOldSchool]

Jesus Christ, do they think I am a fucking retard? They did the same finish except much better at Beware of Dog IYH with Bulldog and Shawn. Fucking gay. FUCKING GAY

That was like 11 years ago?

Jesus quit your bitching.

[St. Jimmy]

So far this show has been amazingly lame. Also kinda sick of seeing the ECW Champion in the mainevent of Raw each week.

[KingofOldSchool]

So far this show has been amazingly lame. Also kinda sick of seeing the ECW Champion in the mainevent of Raw each week.

They need to build up another Cena just incase the original gets injured.

[St. Jimmy]

They need to build up another Cena just incase the original gets injured.

Joking or no joking, that's scary cause it's true.

[Corndad]

i would think there is more to the Foley thing.

[KingofOldSchool]

Val Venis stole JBL's entrance gear

[Jordan]

That was like 11 years ago?

Jesus quit your bitching.

Still pretty fresh in my mind, so no. This is the point where WWE treats us like idiots with dumb fuck endings, I hate this shit.

[St. Jimmy]

Wow, Val Venis getting screen time. I really hope this angle does go somewere. Cause if i had to put up with Val, I'd rather not waste it.

[Skippord]

Cryme Tyme will steal his wallet

[Pepsi Man]

Not an angle, eh?

[Corndad]

please tell me Coach jobs to the kid

[ClockShot]

Someone's gotta make this kid cry.

[St. Jimmy]

The kid is gonna fire Coach?

[Kane Knight]

Okay, this "split decision" has to be one of the gayest ever.

[St. Jimmy]

I still say that they should make the kid join the Kiss My Ass Club.

[KingofOldSchool]

Still pretty fresh in my mind, so no. This is the point where WWE treats us like idiots with dumb fuck endings, I hate this shit.


OMG the finish to the divas tag match was the same finish they did 20 years ago. ZOMG!11! Those uncreative bastards!

[St. Jimmy]

KK's gonna hit 100,000 tonight.

[Pepsi Man]

Jesus Christ, do they think I am a fucking retard? They did the same finish except much better at Beware of Dog IYH with Bulldog and Shawn. Fucking gay. FUCKING GAY
If you think that's the only other time that's happened in the WWF/E, maybe you are a fucking retard. :shifty:

[ClockShot]

Holy shit KK, you got a shot at breaking the 100k mark tonight.

Congrats. in advance.

[JT]

It it sad that we see the son of the WWE Owner a more credible ECW Champion then the current champion?

...hell, he has more credibility than the previous champion.

[KingofOldSchool]

If you think that's the only other time that's happened in wrestling, maybe you are a fucking retard.

[wwe2222]

shouldnt some part of HBK been on top of orton to constitute a pin?

[St. Jimmy]

Raw is def losing ratings, BRING IT ON: ALL OR NOTHING is on... :shifty:

[ClockShot]

Hardys are on late tonight.

[St. Jimmy]

Mutt and Juff, the TARDY BOYS.

[St. Jimmy]

So Backlash isn't a split-roster PPV... Kay.

[KingofOldSchool]

Why aren't the WGTT facing the Hardys at Backlash instead of a non-title match tonight?

[Corndad]

Poor Shelton.

[KingofOldSchool]

Nice.

[ClockShot]

Yes Shelton.

[St. Jimmy]

Because who wants to see Two Athletes when you can see two Spot Monkeys fight Two Hosses

[JT]

Hopefully to give WGTT some credibility back...beating Hardy's tonight can set them up for a title shot in the future.

Some part of me says it won't happen, but I would consider it a good idea.

[JT]

BULLSHIT!!!

[St. Jimmy]

Does that count as a Squash, sans Sheltons 1 move?

[Pepsi Man]

It it sad that we see the son of the WWE Owner a more credible ECW Champion then the current champion?

...hell, he has more credibility than the previous champion.
Are you seriously saying Shane McMahon has more credibility than the Big Show?

[JT]

Hey, figured they could lose, but not jobbed out that fast.

[JT]

Are you seriously saying Shane McMahon has more credibility than the Big Show?

Search your feelings...you know it to be true.

[Corndad]

I think the way they built Big Show. Pepsi is right. hes more credible then Shane.

[Pepsi Man]

Search your feelings...you know it to be true.
Come on. Say what you want about the Big Show as far as his in ring style, and the fact that he couldn't do a 720 splash off the top rope through the announce table...

but to try to say Shane McMahon has more credibility?

[ClockShot]

AGAIN WITH THIS MOVIE!

[Corndad]

Im starting to get as sick of the Condemed that I was the Marine.

[JT]

Also note that I don't consider Shane that good, but for what he is and his skills at the mic...even with all the high spots...he's still pretty entertaining in the ring...more than Big Show was. Big Show was big, and because so he was World Champion. Otherwise his matches never really entertained me and only during him mimic gimmick did I really find him entertaining.

[St. Jimmy]

Edge :love:

[Pepsi Man]

Also note that I don't consider Shane that good, but for what he is and his skills at the mic...even with all the high spots...he's still pretty entertaining in the ring...more than Big Show was. Big Show was big, and because so he was World Champion. Otherwise his matches never really entertained me and only during him mimic gimmick did I really find him entertaining.
So now entertainment = credibility?

Fuck, where's the Nacho Man's title run?

[Skippord]

I will forever love Edge

[SammyG]

uh oh here comes orton

[St. Jimmy]

O RLY?

[Skippord]

Randy's freaking out

[ClockShot]

If I were that kid being GM, I'd order Orton some mic. lessons.

[St. Jimmy]

Wonder what's gonna happen now?! :shifty:

[ClockShot]

Get the fuck out of my state, Cena.

[SammyG]

oh god. 4 way.

[Skippord]

OMGZ ITS A MARINE

[St. Jimmy]

lol.

[SammyG]

LOL @ NO ONE

[St. Jimmy]

OMGZ ITS DA MARINE

[Skippord]

A retarded Marine

[SammyG]

LOL @ NO ONE LAUGHING AT CENA'S JOKE

[JT]

Hmm...I guess in this case I can see your point and I used the wrong word with "credibility", so I'll restate my original post...Shane could be a "better" champion than Big Show or Bobby. Better?

[Skippord]

This is leading to the return of Lex Luger

[Kane Knight]

As Cena's cheers get smaller and smaller...Stay tuned for KK's 10,000th post...Coming up next!

[Corndad]

Please let the kid name himself #1 Contender.

[St. Jimmy]

Shawn is the man

[Skippord]

What the gay is that

[Corndad]

What the hell?

[SammyG]

wtf. Shawn is getting screwed?

[Skippord]

COME ON KID

[SammyG]

oohh ok. here we go.

[Corndad]

Well glad thats getting changed.

[ClockShot]

MAKE TRIPLE H #1 contender!

Uh. Kid, isn't it past your bed time?

[St. Jimmy]

Foley is a giant pussy.

[Corndad]

The kids got better mic skills then Lashley and Orton combined lol

[ClockShot]

Bridgeport, Connecticut. Where dreams come true, and even the Mayor uses crack.

[Skippord]

I couldnt understand that kid

[St. Jimmy]

I couldn't understand the point of that waste of time.

[owenbrown]

As Cena's cheers get smaller and smaller...Stay tuned for KK's 10,000th post...Coming up next!

Forgot a 0 there, KK ;) :p

[Corndad]

So its looking like 2 no finishes tonight. I don't see Shane losing his hair and I really dont see Lashley losing the title.

[Lord-Of-Darkness]

Khali interference.....he hasn't been on tonight...:shifty:

[Corndad]

Boy that was stupid.

[Corndad]

we waited the entire night for this?

[ClockShot]

So vince came down from the office after all.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>If I were that kid I would add Umaga or Khali or someone and make it an exploding cage match just to see the reaction of everyone in the back</font>

[Corndad]

LOL at the Umaga Marry my Mom sign

[SammyG]

HOLY FUCK WHAT A CHAIRSHOT

[ClockShot]

Ouch.

[St. Jimmy]

nice chair shot

[Corndad]

Let me guess they are gonna Shave Lashley.. oh wait... nevermind.

[McLegend]

God damnit that chair shot was ridiclious

[ClockShot]

I see the Rogaine is kicking in.

[Corndad]

what the hell 2 fourways at Backlash???

[St. Jimmy]

BORING.... BORRRINGGGG..... BORRRRRRRRRRRRINGGGGGGGGGGG

[Skippord]

Cen...Lashley will overcome the odds

[St. Jimmy]

3-On-1 Handicapped isn't a fourway, Silly.

[ClockShot]

Thank god I didn't shell out anything to go to this crap. Better off spending it here with you guys.

Have a good night everyone.

[Corndad]

Anyone else see Shane maybe turning on Vince in that match? its a thought?

[St. Jimmy]

Dissapointing at best. Night.

[Blitz]

If I was that kid, I totally would've come out and stripped Cena of the title and given it to CM Punk or something. What the hell are they gonna do to a little sick kid?

[Jordan]

Well Raw pretty much sucked this week, its a shame I feel that way pretty much 3 out of 4 weeks. Smackdown on the other hand I enjoy, so at least I have that to look forward too.

[Jordan]

I also want to say, Shawn Michaels tights are really ugly and they make me not want to watch him, so does his lame physic, there is no possible way he could beat Cena in a fight its just unbelivable, even Randy Orton for that matter. Shawn, work out some, get some new tights, this isn't 1993, cut your lame ass honky tonk hair.

[RottingFreak]

WHo was that kid?

[SammyG]

The same kid that met Mcnabb

[amboklate]

awesome

[KingofOldSchool]

That kid has better mic skills than Lashley.

Edit: Didn't see that Corndad made a similar response.

[Outsider]

I woke up this morning tired and annoyed with myself that I watched that shit.

[addy2hotty]

4 pages? That's it? I'm guessing I didn't miss much then....

*Checks results*

Jeez Louise, am I glad I didn't watch that shit.

[Londoner]

LOL@only 4 pages...it wasn't the best raw tbh.

[Pepsi Man]

To be fair, TPWW did experience some downtime while Raw was on.

[KingofOldSchool]

Yeah.

Raw wasn't really bad moreso just ho-hum and boring.

[KillerWolf]

that was really the worst RAW that i have fast forwarded thru in a while.

i'm sure that this is what the fans want though. a fatal four way at the next ppv.:roll: and if Cena finally does lose the belt he will not have ever even been beaten. and if HBK or anyone else wins it - they couldnt get it done against Cena 1 on 1. :nono:

[St. Jimmy]

I'm sincerely hoping they change the Main Event Scene around. Put the WWE Title Marathon in the legit main event, and take this Lashley/Vince shit somewhere else.

[St. Jimmy]

Hell, Take it to SmackDown. They have absolutely nothing going for them anyhow.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Forgot a 0 there, KK ;) :p

No, he didn't. He's actually secretly traveling http://fusion-industries1.tripod.com/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/bttf1logo.jpgto his 9,999th post in the http://www.calconnect.com/weekly_photo/Delorean%20BTF%20HR.jpg :shifty:

[DAMN iNATOR]

3-On-1 Handicapped isn't a fourway, Silly.

From the way Vin..err, Baldo announced the match, it sounded like a four-way clusterfuck to me...

[KillerWolf]

Hell, Take it to SmackDown. They have absolutely nothing going for them anyhow.
it has a hell of a lot more going for it than RAW.

[Londoner]

Wtf st jimmy, go ahead and neg rep me for this if you want, but you are just taking the piss if you think Raw is better than Smackdown atm, the only good thing on Raw is the Hardys being tag champs again.

It' s ok though, i realise this is your retarded gimmick or whatever.

[St. Jimmy]

it has a hell of a lot more going for it than RAW.

such as...?
