Jericho vs. Benoit

Three huge matches have already been announced by General Manager Eric Bischoff for RAW’s first-ever broadcast from Japan: Edge will get his first one-on-one match against Triple H for the World Heavyweight Championship; Chris Jericho will face Chris Benoit in what is sure to be a brutal Submission Match; and William Regal & Tajiri will attempt to take the World Tag Team Championship from La Resistance.

For months, Edge has complained that he hasn’t gotten a fair opportunity to be World Heavyweight Champion. When RAW emanates from Japan, there will be no more excuses. Edge will face 10-time and current World Heavyweight Champion Triple H, man against man. It’s time for Edge to put up or shut up. But this may be the worst possible time for Triple H to encounter Edge; he’s coming off an impressive, double-duty showing at the Royal Rumble and has never been more passionate about winning the world title. Can the Cerebral Assassin come up with a game plan to turn back a hungry challenger, and will Evolution be part of that scheme?

Benoit and Jericho are no strangers to Japan. Their accomplished careers have included prolonged stays in that land, rich in wrestling history. The fans in Tokyo are sure to appreciate this match from two submission specialists. Will the night belong to the Crippler and his Crossface and Sharpshooter, or will the Walls of Jericho force Benoit to tap?

In what is certain to be a special treat for Tajiri, he will challenge La Resistance for the World Tag Team Championship in his homeland. Will William Regal be able to regain the title with a new partner, or will La Resistance stomp out the challenge?

Tune in to RAW (9/8 CT; Spike TV) to find out.

hmm... maybe this could be Edge's big break... :shifty:

:rofl: :rofl:

who wants to make a bet Benoit beats Jericho...:shifty:

okay enough with that..i hope tonight is a good Raw..

Damn, I can't wait to see Edge win the ti--- CRAP! Someone already beat me to an Edge joke. Oh, well!

And yeah? Who cares if it's taped tonight? This has become a Monday tradition and we must honor it.. that is until TPWW decides to mega-crap out again and no tries to come on here ever again. But yeah, who care?!

This looks like a PPV

cool Japan!

It's like 'Cheers'. You're just waiting for those two to kiss....

And here we go.

watch and listen to the crowd. Look how much they respect the wrestling aspect

Only a good Raw will safe the pain of amy leaving :'(

I'm loving the energy of the crowd, it adds so much to the show. I have't read the results as I like to watch the show 'live', and the fans alone have me pumped up.

A couple of these matches HHH vs edge for the HWC and beniot vs jericho sub match are ppv type matches and the area looks huge and the huge titan tron and the flat walk way makes it feel like a ppv so here is to a ppv type of Monday Night Raw It is gonna be an awesome night even though i read the spoilers

Vicky!!!!! :) Finally... even if it is in this condition.

And yes, a great match and the ending was even better. The crowd loved every minute of it. That is respect.

yeah i didnt want to read the spoilers.. but im not good with self control...

**** JEEPS UNITE! IT'S AN APPEARANCE BY CAPTAIN CHARISMA AND GOATBOY-SAN! ****

Christian is the FUCKING MAN! #1 Peep for life..

That Christian segment was money.Especially that Orton pose :y:

LOL WTF

God i love that Triple H commercial... WOOOOOOOO

Chistian is money on the mic.. Christian for World Champ Summerslam 05'....

Breaking News!:

McDonald's sues Maven for copyright infringement.

Let me say that was one devasting power Bomb

lets see hhh/Batista.benoit/jericho and Orton xtian the raw side of wrestlemania is looking awesome.

I see a conchairto to Orton keeping him out for a month.

Did you see my poll on the front page of TPWW?

I hate how JR says "Shades of....."

I just had a thought. If Eugene was healthy, they probably would have made a match for him at WM against Hogan or at least a meeting of the two since there are talks of Hogan returning.

Damn, tapings turn off so many. Still at one page this thread.

Big pop for Naitch...Bigger pop for HBK

Orton Vs. Christian at WM would be a good match...

Hardly anyone in here tonight.

I guess everyone knows that Maven wins the title tonight.

Let's get some rep spreading in here.

A lot of us were watching 24, you guys have to remember that. Some of us don't give a fuck about Raw anymore

I REALLY like this Japan crowd. They should come here more often, if possible.

I'm glad the WWE finally manage to find a fued for RKO and who better than Capt. Charisma?

Victoria's undies are ripped :rofl:

VICKY!!!!!!!!! :love:

I MISSED YOU!

...See you on Heat in 3 months.

I just wait till the box sets :lol:

LOL! Sonny Bono! Crusty! Classic Nova.. or Simon. Whatever.

I have a feeling Edge is taking the title tonight... :lol:

**SPOILER: Hurricane wins world title and his full heel turn begins tonight. Doink the Clown is the new commisioner. END SPOILER **

XTIAN!!!! Give that man a title!
