Preview:Who ordered the Scramble?
August 25, 2008


Raw comes to you live on Sci Fi Channel tonight – for one night only – and this edition of Monday night mayhem is one you cannot miss. In addition to a live appearance by Shawn Michaels, Santino Marella’s Intercontinental Title will be at risk and four World Heavyweight Championship Scramble competitors take up arms, just weeks before their Unforgiven clash for the gold.

Last week on Raw, Chris Jericho rendered a remorseless tirade despite his despicable actions at SummerSlam, where he struck HBK’s wife Rebecca in the face, fracturing her jaw. Tonight, Michaels will be on hand and one can only imagine what the past eight tumultuous days might drive the emotional Showstopper to say, or more importantly, do. Will tonight mark the next salvo in the tireless war between Jericho and Michaels or will HBK remit and “stay down” as his rival has vehemently encouraged?

World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk might share HBK’s hostile emotions when it comes to Jericho. Last Monday, the first-ever Undisputed Champion essentially robbed Punk of the perfect homecoming in Chicago by earning a tainted victory over the Straightedge Superstar. Can CM Punk rebound tonight against one of his World Heavyweight Championship Scramble opponents, John “Bradshaw” Layfield, when they meet one-on-one tonight?

Speaking of the Unforgiven Scramble, two other participants also collide this evening as Batista faces Kane, whose recently revitalized villainy has put The Animal’s good friend, Rey Mysterio, in serious physical peril. Can the Wachovia Center contain the girth and hostility shared by these behemoths? Will this lead to any further revelation of Mysterio’s condition or whereabouts?

The hot lights of Raw will also illuminate the gold around the waist of Santino tonight, as the Italian Superstar defends the Intercontinental Title against former champion Kofi Kingston. Just one week ago, Santino secured the title without Kingston even involved in the decision in the Winners Take All Tag Match at SummerSlam. Can Kofi find redemption by reclaiming the gold from his uni-browed foe?

Perhaps the answer to the aforementioned question can only be determined by the presence of Women’s Champion Beth Phoenix. The other half of “Glamarella,” Phoenix has played an integral role in Santino’s matters in recent weeks. The Glamazon meets Raw beauty Kelly Kelly tonight in singles action, but will the Women’s Champion play her hand in Marella’s collision with the Jamaican craze?

For the answers to these questions and more, watch Monday Night Raw live at its regular time of 9/8 CT, tonight on Sci Fi Channel - for one night only. And if that’s not enough, catch the special replay at 11/10 CT on Raw’s usual home, USA Network.

[Londoner]

Dunno if i'll be watching much tonight, got important things to do tmrw, we'll see.

[Lock Jaw]

I hope they don't job JBL out again. Then again, I hope they don't job CM Punk out again either.

[Londoner]

I hope they do job JBL out.

[Xerzes]

I hope they do job JBL out.

JBL: O'Haire is a homo.

[Fabien Barthez]

Hang on, why isn't the classic houseshow programme on Sky Sports right now? It's usually the best part of the 3 hours of wrestling thats on. Making me watch ECW is not a good deal.

[Londoner]

Finlay really sucks atm. The sooner he turns heel and turns against hornswoggle the better.

[Fabien Barthez]

Yeah, that was one of the worst worked brawls I've ever seen. When the fighting is a shit as the acting, you might as well just hire actors for ECW. Make the 45 minutes of pointless promos throughout the show a bit bareable.

When is Tony Atlas going to slowly read some cue cards on camera? That's really good TV.

[ClockShot]

Only a handful of teams playing baseball tonight. So I'll probably be dialed into this for the evening.

[Mystic.Tenshi]

I really hate Cablevision...I don't get Sci-fi...which nomally I don't mind cause the only things i watch on Sci-fi are Stargate Atlantis and Doctor Who. I guess I'm off to either find a stream or I can wait till 11 and watch it on USA. Decisons,Decisions

[Y2Ant]

So Cena is the only one not wrestling and not even mentioned, guess his neck really is fucked up then :o

[KYR]

http://www.wwe.com/content/media/images/3883682/7938276
PUNK: Please don't hurt me John.
JBL: OK. But just this once.

[Fabien Barthez]

This is probably the biggest Main Event in ECW history.

Yeah.

Anyway, how much must Josh Matthews feel fully shit all over if Matt Striker gets a spot at the Desk for TV?

[Y2Ant]

or Todd Grisham, for that matter.

[KYR]

http://www.wwe.com/content/media/images/3883682/7938276
JBL taunts CM Punk with his formidable John Travolta impersonation from Saturday Night Fever.

[Fabien Barthez]

It is Todd doing PBP :$

[Y2Ant]

I know.

Because Matthews > both the announcers on ECW.

[Y2Ant]

Also I want some scrambled eggs right now. Who wants to make me some?

[Fabien Barthez]

Oh, I get you now. Yeah, Matthews is pretty good. Was it heat he did with Grisham? I thought that was a funny little team. (If it was Grisham, and/or Heat.)

[FourFifty]

http://www.wwe.com/content/media/images/3883682/7938276
CM Punk always looks forward to hearing TNA's ratings from JBL.








Okay, that wasn't half as good as Know Your Role's.


Anyways, WHASSUP BITCHES!?!?!?!??!?!?!
My day has fucking sucked Raw is the highlight tonight, which means it'll be a really good show, or I should kill myself.

[Fabien Barthez]

This new Raw intro music is shite.

[Londoner]

wow sky have fucked up the sound, oh now its fixed

[FourFifty]

PUUUUUUUNK!

[FourFifty]

Wait, why the hell is Punk opening?

[ClockShot]

[DaVe]

[Londoner]

[Fox]

[ClockShot]

[RawRocks]

Raw on Sci Fi ... took me a while to find the fucking channel on my line up... one of the more useless channels on TV

[KingofOldSchool]

Lawler reads the dirt sheets

[Londoner]

I'm getting sick of these two really, REALLY, fast.

Its helping to send me to sleep, which is ironic considering the name of cm punks finisher.

[Corndad]

Evening fellas. Curious to see the Jericho/HBK stuff develop tonight.

[ClockShot]

Lawler reads TPWW

*fixed

[FourFifty]

There's a fucking match going on and they're talking about the botched phrase "out quicking"? What the crap?

[Fox]

Punk jerking the curtain, huh? Sweet.

[RawRocks]

[Fox]

Punk is getting pwned.

[Corndad]

they couldn't pick a more lame match to start the evening

Khali vs Henry Ironman match

[FourFifty]

I wonder how much The Undertaker can bench press.......

[FourFifty]

Gotta admit, that was a sweet Tornado DDT

[Xerzes]

Damnit WWE, the champion should be the main event.

[Fox]

cross body clothesline. lol.

[FourFifty]

Punk can use that springboard as a finisher, and I'd buy it

[KingofOldSchool]

HE GOT TO THE ROPE!

[Fox]

That's what I thought when Shelton Benjamin was using it, and that didn't wear too well against legitimate looking opponents.

[FourFifty]

Since this is first it'll end with a DQ

Close call.

[KingofOldSchool]

PUNK WINS PUNK WINS!

[Fox]

And Punk beats JBL for the dozenth time.

[ClockShot]

Ha. I go and check out my dog and this match is over. Good timing.

[KingofOldSchool]

THAT DAMN ULTIMATE OPPORTUNIST CM PUNK!

[Xerzes]

Yes, Lawler, you are, in fact, taking something away from CM Punk by saying those things. You dumb shit.

[Fox]

someone gonna come out?

[Fox]

wow that unibrow is ridiculous.

[DaVe]

Pretty decent match.

I hope Kane/Batista happens before the main event... gotta go to uni with 30 mins to go.

[KingofOldSchool]

ADAMLE!

[FourFifty]

GOD DAMN IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HE NEEDS HIS OWN THEME SONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ClockShot]

The fuck. Give Adamle the A.G. theme already.

[FourFifty]

Wait, is Cena hurt?

[Corndad]

Wow Cenas hurt.

[KingofOldSchool]

[Fox]

Ooo it's legit now.

[ClockShot]

YAY!

[KingofOldSchool]

Cue Rey Mysterio

[sugar butt]

[Corndad]

Kelly Kelly makes me sweat.

[ClockShot]

[Fox]

Hm. Looks like a good time to go clean the bong.

[KingofOldSchool]

BAHGAWDGLAMAZON

[Xerzes]

C'mon Beth, break another useless whore.

[ClockShot]

Kelly's learning something new everyweek.

[FourFifty]

Who is training this chick?

[RawRocks]

[Corndad]

Bloody nose. Ooo.

[KingofOldSchool]

Beth busted open the hardway.

[KingofOldSchool]

"You made me bleed my own blood!"

[FourFifty]

[KingofOldSchool]

The afro stays on!

[FourFifty]

That kid is exciting to watch!

[KingofOldSchool]

HE STOLE BRADEN WALKER'S FINISHER!

[ClockShot]

Meh. Whatever.

[PullMyFinger]

Shawn Michaels is like a robotic cyborg now!

[KingofOldSchool]

Seriously who sends in a letter of resignation in pro wrestling?

[FourFifty]

Ya know what Jericho and I have in common?
When it comes to HBK's wife, we'd both say "I'd hit it."

[FourFifty]

HE STOLE BRADEN WALKER'S FINISHER!

The Unemployment Check?

[KingofOldSchool]

She just got hit in the mouth...BIG FREAKIN DEAL

[Fox]

Jaw fractures hurt dude.

[Fox]

I love how some of the crowd are being total assholes toward HBK. Awesome.

[FourFifty]

Hmph, after she wins a gold medal with a broken freakin' neck, I'll be impressed.

[Fox]

omg big swerve.

[KingofOldSchool]

Jericho has his angry face on.

[Fox]

Y2Poutyface.

[Gertner]

lol oh god, hbk is channeling ric flair, stripping in the ring

[Corndad]

non sanctioned match with HBK. Its a new concept.

[KingofOldSchool]

HBK needs to start doing elbow drops on his jacket.

[KingofOldSchool]

When did HBK get that tattoo on his wrist?

[KingofOldSchool]

OH NO HE DIDN'T!

[KingofOldSchool]

Jericho looks constipated.

[Corndad]

ha this is awesome.

[ClockShot]

I may just order Unforgiven just for this match now.

[KingofOldSchool]

Didn't JBL cut the same kind of promo on Jericho earlier this year?

[KingofOldSchool]

Chris Jericho...at Unforgiven...you will...REST...IN...PEEEAAACCCEEE. *eyes roll back into his head*

[Xerzes]

Uh...does ECW have nine people?

[ClockShot]

PRICELESS!

[FourFifty]

[KingofOldSchool]

[KingofOldSchool]

LOL KING DUGGAN!

[ClockShot]

[FourFifty]

Why did they chant USA? Aren't they all from the same country?

[Xerzes]

No. Bad old men. Stop getting offense.

[RawRocks]

Cole just made reference to it. :rofl:

[ClockShot]

ZIP IT, JIM!

[KingofOldSchool]

Lawler and Hacksaw. Come on...............

At least they remembered the little feud they had going...

[FourFifty]

I looked around just in time to see the Million Dollar Drop. My timing was Priceless.

[KingofOldSchool]

JJJOOOOOOOOOB

[ClockShot]

Cody gets mic time.

Gets 1000 WWE Cash.

[KingofOldSchool]

Watch out Cryme Tyme, Ted and CAWdy are going to do some cross burning tonight.

[Corndad]

[KingofOldSchool]

Cryme Tyme finally cashing in their shot from 2006.

[ClockShot]

Cryme Tyme finally getting their due.

[KingofOldSchool]

Silly white boy, stealing is for blacks!

[KingofOldSchool]

Why does Ted Jr. hate money chants?

[DaVe]

Argh, gonna miss Kane and Tista.:(

[Fox]

I hate that shit. If Cody Rhodes had said "Look here, you silly dark skinned boy," to Cryme Tyme, everybody would freak out.

[KingofOldSchool]

Batista respects Cena, how nice.

[RawRocks]

Beth Phoenix will cost Santino the IC belt

[KingofOldSchool]

Santino is looking around for the Boogeyman.

[Fox]

D'Lo Brown for Intercontinental champion.

[KingofOldSchool]

Beth Phoenix will cost Santino the IC belt

Nah, she'll help him beat Coffee.

[ClockShot]

...---...

[KingofOldSchool]

COFFEE KINGSTON, JAMAICAN ME A LATTE!

[Fox]

Time to go cookoo for Kofi puffs.

[loopydate]

[Santino slaps on an abdominal stretch.]
SANTINO: Ring the bell!
REF: ...he hasn't given up!

:lol:

[ClockShot]

What the.....

[Fox]

wow. that was the worst finish I've ever seen.

[KingofOldSchool]

Hahahaha

[Fox]

lol what the fuck

[KingofOldSchool]

LOL

[RawRocks]

this has got to be the wierdest relationship storyline ever

[ClockShot]

Please god, let it be Orton.

[KingofOldSchool]

Rey Mysterio being announced, NEXT

[HeartBreakMan2k]

lol, anyone remember the family guy episode where Lois is the martial arts expert and like takes Peter sexually. I would love for Santino to be like quivering in the back talking to someone, they ask what's wrong and he just goes "Last night.... Beth.... wassa they man" and just break down. Would make my life a little better.

[Fox]

Dude. Forget that. Kofi just jobbed to falling on Santino's knee. That's so ridiculously stupid I am having trouble understanding how that made it past Vince Mcmahon.

"so, what's the finish gonna be?"

"well, vince, we think this is a good one. we're going to have kofi dominate the match, but then he's going to get tripped at the very end and fall on santino's knee."

"perfect. roll with it."

[Fox]

Also, these ECW commercials make me glad that Matt moved. It's like he has his own show.

[KingofOldSchool]

JOSH MATTHEWS SIGHTING!

[FourFifty]

.....Where's Tim White when you need him?

[loopydate]

:lol: "Lovely and beautiful." Josh couldn't bring himself to call Candice "talented."

[ClockShot]

Is it just me, or did Candice go under the knife again?

[KingofOldSchool]

Candice is going to rock the vote?

[Fox]

Fuck you McCain.

[Fox]

ADAMLE!!!!

[FourFifty]

.........................................He needs to use Real American as his theme song.

[Fox]

Sid Vicious baby come on

[FourFifty]

Calling it- Rey!

[Xerzes]

Oy.

[KingofOldSchool]

Yuuuup

[FourFifty]

So who has a better shot at leaving with a title- Rey or THE Brian Kendrick?

[ClockShot]

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Wait. Doesn't Dave have to save his soul still?

[Fox]

....I'm confused.

[Fox]

wow they made that graphic fast

[KingofOldSchool]

wow they made that graphic fast

They probably already made it before the show.

[ClockShot]

That truth.com ad makes me wanna watch Johnny Lawrence kick some ass.

[FourFifty]

WWE needs to leak his theme already!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[loopydate]

I know I'm about the 85th person to say this, but Kane's new theme is fantastic.

[KingofOldSchool]

Kane anally raped Rey, Rey is coming out with cops to arrest Kane for child molestation.

[KingofOldSchool]

Cena was on an incredible roll? He lost two straight PPV matches.

[ClockShot]

*yawn*

End it already.

[KingofOldSchool]

THAT DAMN BIG RED MACHINE, KANE!

[Fox]

cripple the animal

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Someone call the RSPCA, we have a wounded animal.

[KingofOldSchool]

Batista is angry

[Fox]

here's hoping Rey Mysterio comes out in Kane's old mask.

[Fox]

and fade to black. what a shit RAW.

[KingofOldSchool]

lol what coo coo bananas way to end Raw

[ClockShot]

Lame ending. Lame show. Only thing good was Kelly's ring skills improving by the week.

Have a nice one, everybody.

[loopydate]

Anybody else think maybe Kane "killed" Rey to try to turn Batista? Maybe this is all a mind game to get to Mister Infinite Title Shots?

[KingofOldSchool]

Anybody else think maybe Kane "killed" Rey to try to turn Batista? Maybe this is all a mind game to get to Mister Infinite Title Shots?

Batista Two-Face?

[FourFifty]

That was painful, even more than usual.

[loopydate]

Batista Two-Face?

Wouldn't be the first time that WWE has tried to capitalize on a summer blockbuster with one of their storylines.

[Fox]

Anybody else think maybe Kane "killed" Rey to try to turn Batista? Maybe this is all a mind game to get to Mister Infinite Title Shots?

So Rey is Rachel Dawes? That's a bit... weird.

[Anybody Thrilla]

It's not like she was very hot anyway.

[Londoner]

lol, 6 pages, glad i went to sleep during it.
