Official Monday Night RAW thread 4/4/05 - The fallout of Wrestlemania
 

http://www.wwe.com/shows/raw/raw/images/rematch.jpg

Just 24 hours after the biggest night of the sports-entertainment calendar, WrestleMania, Monday Night RAW comes to you from Los Angeles.

When RAW hits the airwaves at 9/8 CT on Spike TV, Batista will spend his first Monday night as World Heavyweight Champion. What will Evolution have to say or do about that?

Also, Batista must be prepared for "Money in the Bank" Ladder Match winner Edge, who can pick the occasion for his World Heavyweight Championship opportunity at any time during the next 12 months.

Three of those Ladder Match participants won't be getting any rest at all. Instead, they'll battle in a Triple-Threat Match for the Intercontinental Championship. It'll be Shelton Benjamin defending against Chris Jericho and Christian on RAW.

Benjamin used his athleticism to his advantage Sunday at WrestleMania, utilizing both his body and the ladder as weapons. But will Benjamin have enough in the tank to fend off two former Intercontinental Champions in what is sure to be another fast-paced, unpredictable match?

For Jericho and Christian, it's a perfect time to pick off a champion. All three will be showing the wear and tear from last night's brutal match, and the title can change hands regardless of who is pinned or submits. Who will emerge as Intercontinental Champion? Watch Monday Night RAW to find out.

Also, there will be a WrestleMania rematch between Trish Stratus and Christy. Despite a gallant effort by the Playboy cover girl, Stratus overpowered Christy in their first encounter. Now that Christy's been in the ring with the Women's Champion, will she be able to adjust her game plan and bounce back with a huge win?

And how will RAW's other Superstars respond coming off WrestleMania 21? Be sure to watch and see.

that's just what we need Trish/Christy II :roll:

Triple Threat will probably be good

Thought I'd start this off. So we're treated to another piss break with Trish and Christy. Atleast there's a triple threat to look forward to, should be good. This will be the first time I've watched RAW live, hope it doesn't dissapoint.

looking forward to what HHH does tonight

I wonder if he'll be pissed off or gracious in defeat :shifty:

Yay for Triple threat!

Booooooo for another craptastic woman's match. GIVE ME VICTORIA OR MOLLY HOLLY!

either way we can expect a 30-minute long promo from him

No luck Trish

Christian better win the IC title... Christian= Ratings

Watching Heat at the moment. I'm telling you Viscera = ratings. Just did that spinning heel kick.

The Triple Threat will be good.

check out both asses.

*Sticky...in more ways then one :naughty:

You mean whines for 980 minutes?

Yup, quality shit right there. :rant:

Has there ever been a less anticipated rematch. Why not just put the last nails in the Women's Division coffin and make this a Best-of-Seven?

:y: Triple threat.

Only if they hinted at big show vs akebono sumo match 2. That akebono guy has the mobility of a hippo with 4 broken legs.

They're waiting to kick off their USA run with that.

*** MAD PEEPS UNITE! MADMAN HAS ARRIVED TO THE THREAD! **

Hi, Everybody! [/Dr. Nick stye]

I can't wait for tonight, except for Crappy Women's match Pt. 2. Give me Victoria... no, really, give me Victoria.

I have a bad feeling that christy is gonna win the women's belt... shes hot and all, but if the title should have any dignity at all, let trish keep it, shes a great talker and not bad wrestling

Christy is so fucking hot.

Since when did the twist of fate turn into a bog standard neckbreaker btw or is that just lita's attention span wandering and her not figuring out that matt does it more like an rko\diamond cutter?

Jeff Hardy started using the backwards Twist of Fate before he and WWE split ways.

Oh, i just assumed the paint fumes from that shit he had plastered all over himself were messing with him making him think he was hitting it properly. :-\

Now get the guunnss the druuuuuggs for my generation ill take a booowww

Oh....shut up!

Btw...the move Christy is using is the Reversal of Fate. One of these days Matt will hit JR for calling it a Twist of Fate. One of these days.

SHIT i forgot the NCAA final is on right now also, im gonna be goin back and forth

This video package is pretty sweet. I cannot wait for tonight.

Live from the West Coast, and we're watching the Simpsons.

Otto is playing "Every Rose Has Its Thorn" to get his woman to marry him.

The invitations are on zig-zags. Good times.

BTW...what's up with the little dance Batista does?

.............NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Time for the HHH bitch-fest

Now Lemmy, thats how you're supposed to sing it :lol:

HHH is gonna talk... this should be good.

No, it isn't good, it never is.

Wow...someone looks nekkid.

Well, hes great on the mic, its just that he takes so bloody long

He admitted it! Now what else will he admit?

Damn the crowd sounds hot tonight.

Well, he did lose it last Mania too, so this should be familiar territory :lol:

Hey what do you know, instead of Batista getting to celebrate his title win we have HHH whining part 43245345435646.

I love that little dance Batista does, ur talking bout the whole side step thing arent u? It gets me pumped up, i do it too now lol, ill do it before a sprint or somethin. this is ognna be a good promo

...........anyone else cringing at the fact that HHH is treating the WHT as a senient being?

TRO is spazzing out. Somebody must've took his Highspots belt :lol:

I was just making mention of it.

Now where's Edge to interupt this rant? Also...HHH is a 10 time loser.

*cue Edge's music*

or maybe not

Holy CRAP!

Did you see that plant getting yelled at?! That was....wait...did that just take...5 minutes!? A NEW RECORD!

This should be hawt coming up. IC match baby.

Why do you think that was a plant Shadow?

President Benjamin v. Capt. Charisma v. King of Bling Bling .... for the IC TITLE, NEXT!


....Already?! Damn, this is main event material!

Yo that guy is at like every WWE show.

Christian wins the belt TONIGHT

Jericho's going to win baby.

Oh yay, its Goat Boy :roll:

Come on Christian!!!!

Acually I think a saw something about that fan on confidental I think he's TYE DYE GUY and he spent like 250000 on going to WWE shows

PEEPS UNITE! IT'S CAPTIAN CHARISMA AND SECOND IN COMMAND COMMANDER GOATBOY!

Scott Ian should sue Tomko for stealing his look :lol:

Thats pretty pathetic then if its true

Bye Bye Christian. Go to the outside and hang with Goatboy and let Jericho and Shelton kill one another.

Is it just me or did the ring get smaller?!?!?!

:rofl:

I think its just you

The results of the steroids.

Just you. Ring seems a little larger to me.

Quite a popular line I've created. Makes me feel alittle special.

Jericho needs some gold now, damn it! Now! Hell, even the Women's belt he could do wonders with... wait...

Joey Radd with the neckbreaker :lol:

Yeah Mad, I wouldn't go THAT far :lol:

Damn, that was interesting

...........what the hell!?

OLY SHIT Powerbomb/Superplex!!!!

Come on Jericho

holy shit this is a great match

That was a pretty cool double pin.

OLY crap Christian jumped HIGH!!!!

Me + Tye Dye Guy = Buds

Any mention of him shall inspire a TDG chant from myself. He is one of the coolest people ever to be an unofficial part of professional wrestling, and he really loves the business.

Shelton'll probably retain since this isan't a PPV

Hot match to start Raw.

Time for a Boston Crab.

GET IN THERE BENJAMIN!!!!

See?

Loved that FLying Bulldog finish.

OLY SHIT THAT WAS SWEET!!!!

I :love: Benjamin!!!!

Thats how you start RAW

Great match. Seriouislly. Great match.

Shelton came from the same place all black men come from. Above the glass cealing.

benjamin totally solidifies the old saying, "white men can't jump".. jesus christ

They have a face World Champion, they should have a heel intercontinental champ, lets go christian

And Edge is actually doing good in his promo with Eric.

Now if they can keep up that pace.

Edge/Benoit match=greatness

Poor Jericho. :(

But hell of a match for Shelton, keep pushing this guy. :love:

1. I remember when the Walls of Jericho was actually the Walls of Jericho and not some Boston Leg Crab.

2. Did Jericho piss someone off in the creative department? Seriously, I'm beginning to contemplate that. I can't remember the last time he actually won a BIG match.

The world can't get enough of Azriel vs. Shaggy :lol:

They're trying to kill Beniot right? I mean....they're trying to kill him so that they can be rid of him. Cause after last night, I don't think he should be in any type of match. With anyone for a while.

Benoit's tough. He can take it.

So I missed the first 15 minutes, but I take it HHH came out and bitched but only took 10 minutes? :eek:

whoops, looks like im getting a late feed here

Orton's upset. Awww poor baby. :lol:

I couldn't believe it either.

Yeah... sure he did JR. Orton came REALLY close. http://tpww.net/forums/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif

The Bag is gonna run in and powerbomb him off the stage. Watch.

1. I was thinking that too.

2. He refused to cut his hair. :shifty: But he shouldn't have won this match.
