The Pond goes hardcore

May 8, 2006

Things are definitely going to get hardcore when RAW emanates from the Arrowhead Pond in Anaheim, CA. Mick Foley finally achieved his WrestleMania moment just one month ago when he faced Edge in the most brutal Hardcore Match in WWE history. Foley and Edge endured steel chairs, barbed wire, thumb tacks and even a flaming table, but Foley is hungry for more. Edge has accepted Foley’s challenge, and the Hardcore Legend is prepared to come out on top with the victory this time. Will these two Superstars be able to survive going to hell and back one again? Can Edge make it two in a row over the Hardcore Legend?
And Rob Van Dam will make his first Intercontinental Championship defense since winning it from Shelton Benjamin at Backlash. RVD will have his work cut out for him as it will be a Fatal Fourway Match with Tornado rules against Benjamin, Chris Masters and Charlie Haas. Can RVD come out on top when facing all three challengers at once?
Also on RAW, one week after being attacked by Mickie James on WWE.com Unlimited's Kiss Cam, Maria will have Trish Stratus in her corner when she takes on the Women's Champion in one-on-one action.
Plus, after taking one week off, Mr. McMahon will likely be back at the helm. What will The Chairman have to say after his special guest referee, Triple H, walked out of his officiating duties? Mr. McMahon warned The Game that if he didn’t obey his orders, then the next time he received a WWE Championship opportunity would be when he was an old man. Will the Chairman live up to his words? Will Triple H pay the price for leaving the main event of RAW?
And former World Tag Team Champions Kane & Big Show will face off in a clash of the titans. The issues between these two Superstars have been brewing for more than a month now, and it will all come to a head on RAW.

But I fucking hate Jim Ross with every fiber of my immortal soul!!!

Some good stuff tonight looks like, and what's up with Unlimited? Anyone else just have weird audio?

Yea that audio on Unlimited is horrible... its making Lillian sound like Frankenstein.

Lillian's so purty

She was in top form tonight. Usually always is.

JR needs new music :lol:

So he does have a certain theme for promos and another one for his matches.

I see no cage

SHHHH....DON'T JINX IT!

:shifty:

maybe i was wrong about the shoot lol

But Trips is the shit

Too late. :-\

Wow. Majority is anti-cena tonight.

Quite a few pro-Cena fans...mostly women I suppose. :roll:

Cue Vince in about 30 seconds

Cool, Triple H and Cena starting the show. Now I can watch David Blaine's dumb trick on abc.

wow talkin about New York in CA was that supposed to be some kind of BS heel line?

I'd say 2 minutes.

26 Championships John

That's still going. What is that a 2 hour block?

i like option A sledgehammer for 3 months maybe he'll die :p

HBK....

God. That should be my ringtone. SHUT UP!

Damn it. no trips match, only a run-in

i Call it now Shawn screws Cena!!

This should be good...fatal four way.

Fatal Four way interesting...

Looked like it was almost done but guess I was wrong, it's two hours.

Cena-RVD Face off please.

Ah. Kicking it off with the IC title match. A good start.

right on cue.

hmmm what did that look like to ya? (cena and RVD face off)

Wow.. an RVD Promo now too.

Oooh. RVD shoot

oh Shit there's the ECW cue

That was an awesome promo by RVD.

J.R. We already know who the other 3 are...

Nice way in staying face Rob

lol at the G-Unot sign...I was going to get that shirt.

And now, the most boring entrance ever :lol:

Great opening so far. I'm loving this.

Benji...

Did we really need that explained to us?

Let's Go Masterson

It's making up for the shitty main event to come.

Shelton "The Broke Pimp" Benjamin

that's what I call him cause he's my boy

Hopefully this'll be good

what did rvd say in his promo? my sky cut out :(

So what are the chances we see the Haas of Pain during this match?

that he agreed with everything Styles said and he wanted everyone to chant ECW

thanks

Damn. Not bad for unlimited coverage. It cut out way early last week.

lol there's going to be a Raw Live event at URI...should I go? My cousin can get free tickets because she's a student. It's only about 10 mins from my house.

was it just me or did they take a break pretty quickly?

Definitely Wrath, I say why not? Go for it

Stupid Crowd he said chant ECW not RVD, get it right! Or he won't win!! :lol:

If you're 10 minutes out go for it. Just pitch in money for gas.

Ouch. Nice Kick.

I'll think about it. I really wanted a 'G-wrath' sign on tv. :'(

If I can score free tickets....then I will...if not then no

that was the best Powebomb-into-Sunset I've ever seen

I have no one to go with either.

WOW. O_O

fuckin un-real!!

gotta love rvd

Why do they always fast count? Just do it normally.

fuck you RVD :mad:

FUCKER

I'm glad RVD retained, but I'm REALLY surprised that he did.

On the other hand, I was kind of hoping for a Masters win. He's grown on me.

I'd run out and go with ya wrath. If gas wasn't expensive, and if I could ever get a break from my job. Sorry.

Sports Entertainment 4 Life

So is David Blaine still in the Hydrosphere?

RAW's off to a pretty good start. And JR actually doesn't make me want to stab myself in the eardrum with a nail file.

Yet.
