A BIG NIGHT FOR BENOIT
Feb. 9, 2004
The Road to WrestleMania XX will make a historic stop next week when RAW comes to you for the first time from Portland, Oregon. And the Portland fans will be treated to a night to be remembered when the key players in the WrestleMania XX Main Event will be present. First, the contract for the World Heavyweight Championship Match between Triple H and Chris Benoit will be signed, making what could be an unforgettable match official. Last week, when Benoit and Triple H were briefly face to face, the situation seemed ready to explode. Will this week’s meeting for the contract signing remain orderly? Tune in to find out!

And Benoit’s night will not be over after signing the contract with Triple H. As announced on RAW last week, Benoit will face Triple H’s Evolution cohort Ric Flair one on one. To prepare for a shot at the World Heavyweight Championship, Benoit will face one of the greatest to ever enter the ring. Will Triple H be a factor in this match? Find out on RAW.

Also, last week, Chris Jericho and Christian were able to put aside some hostilities concerning Trish Stratus in order to challenge Flair & Batista for the World Tag Team Championship. However, Jericho & Christian ultimately lost their match. How will this duo react? Only one way to find out … watch RAW next week at 9/8 CT on Spike TV!

Not really a big fan of the whole contract signing thing.

Pretty predictable that Benoit will somehow get beat up, be made to sign his name in blood, ect.

Yeah, contract signings on TV are always REALLY stupid and never worth the TV time.

Which is why I'm surprised Vince hasn't moved 'em to PPVs...:shifty:

<font color=Silver>Cant wait to see what happens between Kane and The Undertaker :)</font>

Anyone else hope Benoit breaks kayfabe, jams the pen into Triple H's eye, and just gets it over with?

Truly, like we really want to see Beniot & HHH write there names with an ink pen on to a 'contact' :shifty:

Don't give the 'game' any late ideas loopy :p

Think the contract thing is an angle to get Michaels involved

:lol:

What are you talking about? Undertaker's dead!

:shifty:

Knowing HHH, he wouldn't even sell that.

That's what I was thinking. I really hope not though. Michaels/HHH/Benoit as the main event of the biggest wrestling show in history doesn't seem fitting.

I'm kinda hoping for the pen-in-the-eye thing.

Well something is gonna happen. They aren't gonna just go out there, sign papers and walk off. And I don't see a big slop of action happening either.

Waiting for The Rock to show up and involve himself in the Foley feud. Maybe Benoit and HHH scuffle, Evolution runs out. But Foley and Shawn come out, get their ass kicked, then The Rock clears the ring. That's how I'd do it - plus that'd set up a good pre-Wrestlemania 4 on 4 tag match. Rock/Foley/Benoit/Michaels vs. Evolution. It'd own.

:y: :y: :y:

Sweeeeeeet. Triple Threat for the IC belt tonight!

oh it's Vinnie Mac

Vince comes out while Berg is in the ring. More of a Berg-Lesnar set up. *Hopes Brock shows up since Brock is the man*

Mcmahon is walking like he's got something as big as HHH's nose up his ass. Oh wait....

vinnnnnnnny mac

Goldberg needs to shave

Vince McMahon > Goldberg

GLASS SHATTERZ

WHOOOOOO! Goldberg's match is cancelled! Oh, shit. Not Austin... We almost had something GOOD happen to start the show.

Bah Gawd...Austin! :| (is kinda neat that all 3 of them are in the ring)

LOL @ J.R. making a reference to the Trailblazers winning the NBA Title

lol whats with the 4 wheeler

Who'd have thought that we would ever see Austin, Goldberg, and McMahon in the same ring?

When Austin was going up the ramp, was anyone expecting Vince to turn around (toward Goldberg) with his whole "What the hell" facial expressions and Goldberg spear him?

Damn J.R. beating me to it.

"First of all, you're in my ring, and you don't belong in my ring."

When did Austin BUY THE ****ING COMPANY?!?

*looks at calendar*

*looks at tv*

something isn't right here

whys heyman here

Paul Heyman! Paul Heyman! Paul Heyman! Paul Heyman!

PAUL E!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *marks the **** out*

Because there IS a God!

Ugh I don't want to hear Heyman's annoying voice.

boooooooooooooooo heyman

Whoa! Heyman! :y: all four of them in the ring...what a site.

heymans not far from the truth....saved the best star for last

Please don't spear Heyman...

On a side note I like the sign in the crowd with Goldberg's face on it, saying Brock Lesnar Wannabe

SPEAR SPEAR SPEAR

SPEAR!

ahahahahaha heyman's dead

HAHAHAH HEYMAN

Heyman :(

wtf

Oh uh...good job Goldberg you speared Austin :y: really good job.

*hopes Austin stuns the hell out of the Gillberg wannabe*

Goldberg's ****ed now

Heyman's face was priceless though. Still shouldn't have speared him :(

Now THAT's good writing!

Hype up your next brand-exclusive PPV by having the man "in charge" of it obliterated by the #3 contender for the OTHER brand's title. Keep a Wrestlemania storyline going by...injecting Austin. Build up the No Way Out main event by barely mentioning the #1 contender by name, instead concentrating on the fact that GOLDBERG will be there...WATCHING!

And shows were so good last week...

Heyman sucks.

Who cares.

Bischoff > Heyman

"Should I expect a Stunner when my back is turned?"

No, because that would be a NECKBREAKER!

LOL

thank god jericho's back to his real theme

lol :lol:

Jericho :love:

Why the hell does Austin waste all that good beer? :rant:

OH YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Matt enjoys getting things for free.

wow what a bump

:lol:

hahaha the CLB strikes again

im confused

Anyone see Trish and Christian hooking up now, with Jericho eventually turning heel.

wait? why are they promoting the cruiserweight match? Why not the heavy weight?.....Might as well promote nidia and noble

No, because that would be just stupid.

***marks out for Jindrack and Cade

The Thug-Blazers are in the house...

Getting that DVD

looks pretty good

Now that's a DVD

niiiice. original flair music

Hahahaha good ole' Mizark.

lol @ the "batista is my dad" sign

i sent you a email with some of the Raw house show and pittsburgh pics that you wanted.

*marks out*

Benoit wins clean over Flair, nice!

Looks like they are holding the IC Title match for the main event. I'm starting to really think that Orton could drop the title tonight.

not a chance because: ORTON IS A TRUE HARDCORE LEGEND :yes: :yes:

this raw owns

I know, I know. I'm an Orton mark too :)

It's just that we know he's gonna have a match with Foley at WMXX, he doesn't NEED the title to get over. Meanwhile they've got RVD and Booker T who don't have any plans for WM yet. Might as well give one of them the title and make the other one number one contender or something.

<font color=Silver>YEAH BISHOFF!</font>

Who else would mark out if Benoit stopped the proceedings because he wanted his attorney to look over the contract and brought out Clarence Mason?

Not me, of course... :shifty:

I would if his attorney was Bob Backlund :lol:

<font color=Silver>LOL</font>

Oh Boy, here we go

I wonder if HHH signed the contract under the name "Paul McMahon."

Blahblahblah I respect you blahblahblah but you can'tuhhhhhhh blah blah blah beat the Game...

LOL

I wonder if HHH says "Vince! Vince! Vince!" the way he just said "Benoit! Benoit! Benoit!"

I love how Hunter's promos are mirror images of real life.

***sees into the future: BAH GAWD BAH GWAD CROSSFACE ON HHH, CROSSFACE ON HHH, OMG WAIT, HHH REVERSES IT INTO A ARM BAR.....BAH GAWD, BENOIT TAPS OUT IMMEDIATELY..HHH WINS, HHH WINS, HHH RULES ALL KING

yeah, love the reference to the title being apart of his life... :shifty:

Edit: HHH just said he is reality...how true :shifty:

Edit again: HBK...oh damn

"I am reality." Doesn't that sound like a quote from the Book of Genesis?

..and here he comes

*Marks out for HBK*
*Marks in (as that would be the opposite) for the probable Triple Threat match*

Oh Look, Shawn's jelous he's not in the title picture....HMMMMMMM
