Monday Night Raw june 7th 2004
 

HBK vs. ORTON
June 7, 2004
The Pepsi Arena in Albany, N.Y., represents the last stop for RAW prior to Bad Blood, which is Sunday, June 13 live on pay-per-view. With just six days to go until the pay-per-view, tempers will be flaring, and anything can happen tonight on RAW!

With just days before his Hell in a Cell Match with Triple H, Shawn Michaels is scheduled to go one on one with Evolution's Randy Orton. Undoubtedly, Orton will be looking to soften HBK before Bad Blood. Where there's Orton, Evolution usually follows. Will this one turn into a glorified Handicapped Match? Tune in to find out.

Shelton Benjamin is on quite a roll of late. Tonight, he looks to continue his momentum as he battles Evolution's Batista.



Four matches have already been announced for Bad Blood:
World Heavyweight Championship: Chris Benoit vs. Kane
Hell in a Cell: Triple H vs. Shawn Michaels
Intercontinental Championship: Randy Orton vs. Shelton Benjamin
Women's Championship: Victoria vs. Gail Kim

There will undoubtedly be more Bad Blood matches announced on RAW.

And what will the participants in the matches already announced have in store for one another on Monday Night RAW?

How will Eugene follow up on his victory (by disqualification) over Kane?

All of this and more, as the road to Bad Blood continues on Monday Night RAW at 9/8 PM CT on Spike TV.

Might as well make the HBK vs. Orton match a tag match. Im certain both Triple H and Shelton Benjamin will be involved.

Should be a good show, RAW has manged to keep my honest interest since WMXX, and tonight they need to deliver a stellar show leading into the PPV.


Let's just hope the #1 contender doesn't job to a 'gifted' personality again... and for that matter let's also hope that the world champ doesn't job to the evil foregn midcardsers...shutters...

Well I guess we'll be told of Jericho's match against Tomko and Eugene's match against Garrison Cade... Those are two matches I can think of off the top of my head... La Resistance will no doubt have to defend the titles at Bad Blood?

But where does this leave Edge to go? I guess they'll pull something off, probably just a crappy Edge v. Batista match.

I am watching the Stanley Cup championship game, so I will have to watch Raw tomorrow :( Is anyone else here in the same predicament?

GO FLAMES!!!

I'm not in the same prediciment as I don't really care for hockey that much, though I do like the playoffs, however I'm sure there are a lot of people on these boards that are going to struggle with that very idea tonight... Enjoy your hockey, because from what it sounds like it might be your last chance to do so for about a year or so.

Orton vs. HBK is gonna be the shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit tonight. That match is enough for me to tune into the whole thing, except for my Womens match piss break.

HBK vs Orton? Seen it. Done it. Got the T-shirt. And the first time around, at least it didn't end with a run-in by Triple H and a big brawl while JR makes the fight out to be the Battle of Stalingrad.

Anyways, let's see how much TV time the World Heavyweight Champion and the #1 contender don't get this week.

Orton has already killed the legend of Shawn Michaels at Unforgiven 03'... Does he really need to do it again tonite?

Obviously, Orton didn't finish the job.

Stacy K is so unattractive.

Gail Kim; beauty and talent fused like Kiwi Strawberry Juice: perfectly.

Gail Kim

Why does the WWE open Raw with a womens fight? I sware it shoots down my excitement for Raw everytime it happens :nono:

Gotta love Lita's phantom Enzugiri there.

Why does the WWE open Raw with a womens fight? I sware it shoots down my excitement for Raw everytime it happens

...Or gets it out of the way for the serious stuff...

They choose NOT to push the number 1 contender!!!!???

Even Coachman agrees. Eugene v. Coachman is a joke,as long as Coachman is involved. Oh,and Nitro will be history again tonight.

THE COACH! :lol: U gotta love him <img src="http://raw.wwe.com/superstars/coachman_j/images/06.jpg">

SWEET non botched DDT by Lita!

If Coachs gimmick is supposed to be the most annoying person on the planet, hes certainly perfected it.

I'm calling it right now, Jonny Nitro loses to Eugene and shows up on Smackdown! sucking up to Paul Heyman calling himself John E. Dangerously or Jonny Extreme.

Holy shit! That TNA promo had the tower suplex!

Coach sucks so bad I question WWE as a whole. I hate him, and not in a money making hate-the-heal way.

And why is Paul still on Smackdown? He is suppose to be on Raw

Damn Batista looks like he just got out of the shower, and by the smile on Nature Boy's face it looks like Batista dropped the soap.

Will Bautista ever find a suitable intro taunt? Shelton needs to smile alot less, and get new attire. His stinger splash rules, though.

Sheltons game is CRAZY right now.

And Batista moves as if someones controling him with a joystick. That powerbomb is pretty outrageous though.

Eugene=Ratings. And goddamn that Coachman..he is annoying,and has already appeared on 2 segments and were a half n hour into the show.

I wouldnt mind seeing Kane vs tyson

i wonder if they are moveing nitro to smackdown

Man Trish is HOT!

That Kane/Tomko staredown bit would make for a good caption.

Hey, a nubs got a question. You know where it says "member" under my name? How do i change that?

I rather see Tomko v. Kane than Tomko/Jericho anyday. JERICHOOOO!!

LOL A-Train on Raw.

GUH?! A train is here? WTF is gettin' tv time? Its the end of the world! And worst, against J?!

If Tomko makes Jericho look like a pussy again I'm going to be so pissed off. :mad:

here goes a 30 minute Triple H speech

A-Train gain some weight? Probably sitting on the couch a home eating bon-bons, crying over his lost push with the Big Show.

A-Train: "Hey, wait guys! I was in a feud with Edge once!! Guys? Guys, come back!"

hulkamania320,you change the title "member" by going the top of the forum where it says User CP and go to Profile,then look in the middle for User Title and type the title you want in the box and save,that's it.

The King without the crown... what a sight!

Now chuck Palumbo needs his tv time

Theyre really hyping HHH and HBK....youd think one of them was champion. Im going to assume this will be the main event at Bad Blood.

How many damn HHH/Michaels videos are they going to do tonight?

why put Benoit in a Handicap match in midcard?

YEAH!! And a new gimmick is born!

Hulkamania320 + Official Title = Sweeeet.

The match itself is actually a good idea. If Benoit wins, he gets his credibility back, and shows that the only reason Benoit jobbed to La French Guys to begin with was that he had Edge dragging him down. Helps lead to an Edge v Benoit feud.

Why it's mid-card is one of those "How many licks" questions. The world may never know.

Put tape around his mouth!

Chris Benoit has cool theme music.

Just had to get that out of my system while I was thinking about it. Benoit better win, or this match is pointless.

French-Canadian Anthems = Ratings. Then again so do Rikishi matches for some god-awful reason...

Batista needs to put a shirt on :mad:

well the timing of La Res winning the titles last week could not be better. Maybe they will restore some fire in the Tag Team division. Perhaps Hurricane and S.H.I.T. against La Resistance soon?

remember when triple h and batista were waiting outside for shawn micheals, it was hilaroius to see batista in his underwear outside in what looked like the public... i couldn't stop laughing

and the seeds for Edge vs Benoit have been planted..


guess not.. :eek:

Boy, I sure am glad that Benoit's being made out to look like a strong champion. I mean, the way that he needed Edge to interfere to save him from to lower level pseudo-jobbers just makes him look unbeatable. I can't wait to see him take on the guy who lost to a retard :nono:

I don't know why, but Edgeward bugs the hell out of me. Maybe because it's not the same Edge from 3-5 years ago or that he has just gotten boring. Though Edge v. Benoit would be interesting.

why put the World Champ through two title matches in one night?

I guess giving Benoit two matches at Bad Blood is as good a reason as any to make him drop the title to Kane, and we can't say it really makes Kane look any weaker after that match with Eugene last week.

And they had to put Edge on the card somehow......EDGOMATIC! BAH GAWD!

Kane + Heavyweight Championship = BAH GAWD THE TITLES BEEN DEFILED!!!

What the holy hell? Did he just announce Benoit and Edge v La French Guys at Bad Blood?

Isn't Benoit already in a match against Kane...? Am I hearing things, or did this get reeeaaal stupid...?

Edit: Guess it got real stupid.

is WWE hurting that bad? Two title matches for Benoit in one night????

I feel a Benoit Edge feud coming out of this PPV

You knew it was coming, just as much as you knew that Kane was going to be the third tag partner with La Resistance.

:nono:

You know what I was expecting?

Edge interferes. Okay. Starting from there, I'd expect Benoit to get pissed, and for him Edge to argue.

At Bad Blood, Edge interferes, helping Kane win the championship. Set up for Benoit v Edge fued, and for Kane to have a title run feuding with, I dunno, Chris Jericho. Okay, maybe the last half of that was wishful thinking. Ah well.

lets see.. Regal at ringside... interferes in match and forces Johnny Nitro his job...
could we see Regal vs Nitro at Bad Blood???? then this could be the night Regal turns face. :lol:

Hell fire and Brimstone,Kane beat the champion! BAHGawD wHaTaBeating! Hell, there might not be enough on the roster if Nitro and ATrain have a match on the show.

Damn, thats what i'm saying, its about bloody time they throw the belt on Kane, he has held it since he had it for 24 hours that one time.

Benoits had a bad streak with tag partners hasn't he? Guerrero, Rhyno,Kurt Angle, and now Edge.....Damn.

By now, I really and truyl doubt that Benoit retains at Bad Blood. First off, because he's going to be re-gaining that lower-card curse known as the Tag Team Titles, and secondly, because he's being made to look like a total pussy at every given opportunity. Gets his ass kicked by Garisson Cade for half of the match a couple weeks ago, gets his ass kicked by La Resistance, then not only gets his ass kicked by Kane, but gets his finisher no-sold as well.

If we get Triple H vs Kane at Summerslam instead of Benoit, I'd definitely be pissed off about it, but I sure wouldn't be suprised at this point.

Or, going off of my last post...have Edge interfere with the Benoit v Kane match at Bad Blood, have BENOIT STILL RETAIN. It'd make Benoit look like a bad ass, and would still set up an Edge v Benoit fued.

Ah, well. Moot point now.

Johnny Nitro... Youre Fired!

Damn,even King mentions that Nitro will be Thunder pretty soon.It has become a little too obvious. Coach=Piss Break.

i wanted to see Johny have some kinda offence....so is he going to smackdown?

I guess the Kane / Lita thing really IS dead. Dayumn.

Edit: I need to stop talking.

Nitros got the look and everything, i wish he hadnt just been totally squashed. Hope to see him wrestle again sometime soon.

and how many times have we seen him in acttion since his arrival?

Twice. The Battle Royal and now tonight

Nitro on Smackdown, that's not so bad. No offense in though, that sucked.

:y:

guess again

Damn, I am such a jynx.

I'LL BET HHH GETS THE TITLE AGAIN SOMETIME THIS YEAR.

:shifty: ...

Well, here comes Orton.

And the crowd goes MILD~!

Is there anything Lita doesn't botch? Just look at the pseudo phone call. She couldn't sell the phone call for her life. And Benoit w/ 2 matches? I do believe that there needs to be more wrestlers at Bad Blood and not so much Coach.

He wasn't gonna get any type of push on Raw anyway. I really hope Kane wins the title, it was a good run for Benoit. Time to move on.

lets see.. Benoit beats Kane at Bad Blood, Triple H beats HBK in HIAC, Triple H gets greedy and wants Benoit again. Kane meanwhile... gets Matt Hardy while Lita holds the title fueding with Trish who is also in a fued with Jericho who is in a fued with Tomko.

Todays Matt Fact = Lita needs to go back to Acting Class.

great observation :rofl:

as this match goes on... meanwhile.. what about Nitro getting the
"YOOOOOOOURRREEEE FIRED!"

To me,Flair always looks like a drunk uncle,esp. mine. It doesn't help his look with the suit he is wearing either.

i can just see Flair singing: "99 bottles of beer on the wall... 99 bottles of beer.. take one down pass it around..."

HBK winning may kill Randy's Legend Kiling gimick, Randy winning will kill HBK's credibility. Don't think they thought this through.

They will find a way to fix this.. HHH or Shelton interference

i knew it

KING: " And just look at the generosity of the Game, inviting HBK up to his luxurious Skybox suite right in the middle of the match!!!"

JR: "Right, and i'll bet they'll drink a diet soda to."

Catch the buzz feel the bling

And the blood starts
