And with a video package that for some reason reminds me of a strange sort of training video.. the music just seemed old’ish. Either way Cena’s champ. Where’s Maria?

Raw is in my home state… and … shit, why aren’t I there?

Shelton versus Ric for the IC-Title

Triple Threat – HHH vs. RVD vs. Big Show

Now though, here comes Candice Michelle for a #1 Contender, Women’s Battle Royal? Candice looking nice in a lil gold number. Torrie looking boring.
“Holy crap, she has her own theme song?” – Jen

In a cute skirt number is Ashley… And now in a cutey green number it’s Maria.. in shiny… it’s Victoria.
“Aww, she didn’t dance” – Bill
“Youwant her to dance?” – Hernandez
“I come for the dance, stay for the wrestling” – Bill

And finally Mickey James in a black thingy… Trish comes down to watch… and really nobody’s looking … lechy enough.

DING!

DIVA’S BATTLE ROYAL
Curtain Jerking…. well, SOME kind of jerking

Victoria starts up hitting a sideslam on some Diva… almost tosses out Ashley, and Maria saves the day. Mickey James then leaps on Maria and it’s fist to fist, and Maria rolls on top of her, and Candice stops THAT with a leap.

Torrie is almost out, but Candice comes in and saves her….. then pushes her out! Ooooo snap! Victoria pushes Candice down for that, and now Maria and Ashley team up on Victoria – and Mickey James goes to take down Ashley.

Ashley gets away from Mickey to help Maria throw out Victoria – who looks like she is going to skin the cat… but they both boot her down. Then Maria charges over and bronco busts Candice.
“CM Punk wants to know why that doesn’t happen…” – Hernandez
“Somewhere, CM Punk just ejaculated…” – Me

So Mickey James goes nuts now as we’re down to three… and she hurricanranas Ashley, but Candice runs over and hits the both. AHHH! The Playboy Rub… now I see.

WINNER: CANDICE MICHELLE
So unless someone shows her up, with her blue corset.. we give the lech award to Candice. Sure. Why not.

YOU THINK YOU KNOW ME??? Lita? Hmmm….

So here comes Edge and Lita walking RIGHT past Trish and to the ring. Candice packed up to the ring, and Lita takes the mic from Candice and hands it to Edge who announces that =HE= should be champion
“…of the woman’s division?” – Hernandez AND Bill
“He should be champ of the midget division” – Hernandez
“It will be him and Kloakus..” – Jenna
“How does he keep coming up in conversations?!?!” – Hernandez
“He had one match…. one awesome match…” – Bill

So Edge wants to show Mick Foley of why he’s called the Rated R – Superstar.
“So he spears Lita?” – Hernandez

So Edge and Lita have challenged Hacksaw Jim Duggan to a match?
“You are going to find out what happens when you make fun of my man” – Lita
“So… Lita is wrestling Hacksaw?” –

Umm.. ok, sure. They hit his theme music… HOOOOO!
“Lion-O?” – Bill
“Sword of Omens don’t fail me..” – Jenna

HACKSAW JIM DUGGAN vs. EDGE
Tough guy!

Hacksaw throws Edge out of the ring… and Edge snaps him off the ropes. Comes in and now a stomp down. Throws him out and then a double axe him to the outside.

Punches out on the outside. Throws him to the corner..
“I repeat.. Eugene 1.0.”

Back in the ring, Edge has him on the mat – he climbs up to the second rope and Edge gets caught with a clothesline as Hacksaw gets to his feet. They fight to the corner. Duggan tosses him to the ropes, picks him up slams him down – Lita distracts Duggan for Edge to set up the spear.
“Coming to Titan Home Video – Hacksaw Jim Duggan, what were we thinking?” – Hernandez
“Hacksaw – A real american…. whatever” – Me

So they grab the 2×4…
“DON’T GIVE HIM THE STICK!” – Bill
“HOOOOOOOOOOOO!” – Me

WINNER: EDGE

So Edge wants Foley at Wrestlemania. He and Lita have their moment.
“I want to see those two stop doing that…” – Roommate Randy

So they start with the punch to punch and fight to the outside. Kane grabs him around the turnbuckle, but Masters pulls him through to hit him face to corner pole. Masters throws him in, chokes him against some ropes. Masters brings him to the top turnbuckle, but Kane elbows him out of it…

Kane goes after him. A horrible set-up for the Masterlock… but Kane fights out of it. Kane hits the ropes, and HITS IT AGAIN… Kane won’t let it get set-up, then spins it around into HIS OWN Full Nelson. Tosses Masters to the ropes… BIG BOOT

PIN! AND THAT’S IT?!?!
“Wait.. Masters lost from a big boot?” – Me
“From Kane.” – Hernandez
“BUT IT WAS A BOOT!” – Me
“But it was from Kane!” – Hernandez

So Kane goes for the pyro…. annnndddd… MASTERLOCK!

Shelton to the top turnbuckle and a clothesline HALF WAY across the ring. Shelton wraps up Flair’s leg and a HORRIBLE kickout from Flair… Shelton leaps to the top rope and gets CHOPPED.

So Shelton’s Mama seems hurt. Umm…. ok… AHHHhhh the ref is calling down for EMTs… Shelton runs on with the oxygen tank. WHACK.. KWANG.. EL KABONG! T-BONED.

“HE’S OUT!” – Me

RVD now with the big assault all over to RVD. The split leg drop. The spinning heel. The Rolling Thunder. RVD is everywhere. He hits the top turnbuckle….. HE HITS THE FROG SPLASH!
