RAW Opening:
The Rock's music plays. Here comes the Brahma Bull and he has been in a bad mood all day. Does Shane think Benoit deserves another title shot? Rocky gives a NYC sewer rat's ass what Shane thinks. Rocky is going to give him a title shot right here and now. Benoit out to his music, which is suspiciously like the T&A music. He takes the stick. The whole world knows he won the belt all by himself at Fully Loaded. Gets decent heel heat. Shane on the mic now and show us footage of the huge chair shot he laid on Rocky at Smackdown. Benoit and Rocky in a no DQ title match tonight!

Kurt Angle talking to Mick Foley backstage. He wants to be the #1 Contender at Summerslam. Foley likes Kurt's emotion. He's going to take his suggestion into advisement.

Commercial Break- FYI, this might be the first Raw that I have EVER done on my own PC. That's crazy considering this is probably my 2nd to last Raw ever.

Steph and HHH chat backstage.

Rikishi w/ pigskin ass v. Road Dogg
JR and the King remind us that the members of DX have a FRIENDLY rivalry going. X-Pac goes right to work on the big man. X-Pac with a couple of spinning kicks to the corner and then the bronco buster. Rikishi with a modified Kishi Cutter, big ass to the corner, Stinkface. The Dogg watches and laughs backstage. Kishi looking for the Banzai Drop, but Dogg is out with the interference. DX beat on Kishi at the end.
Winner: Rikishi by DQ

HHH wants to be the #1 Contender at Summerslam and take on the winner of tonight's match. Foley's going to take his request under advisement as well.

Commercial Break

Earlier tonight, the hoes were protesting the RTC.

HHH and Steph talk about Kurt Angle in their dressing room. HHH is mad because Kurt is trying to take his spot. If he sees Kurt, he's going to kick his ass.

The Right to Censor is here. Giuliani's work in cleaning up NYC has made the city a better place for tourism. Steven wants to get rid of the scantily clad women. JR says "this guy's a jerk, man." Steven calls out anyone in the back for a fight and it's the Dudleyz. The people in NYC really want to see the Dudleyz put their asses through a table.

The Dudley Boyz v. Bull Buchanan and the Goodfather
Huge "we want tables" chant. The RTC take off their ties to wrestle. That's class. Little transcription here b/c you couldn't ask for two less watchable guys than Godfather and Bull. Belly 2 back by GF. Luke warm tag to Bubba Ray. Flying nutshot for both members of the RTC. 3D on Bull, but Steven breaks up the pin and we have ANOTHER DQ. Flying nutshot on Steven who sells it like death. Dudleyz try to put Steven through a table, but GF knocks them out with a "club" (JR). Brunette ho eats a HUGE GF powerbomb through the table.
Winners: The Dudleyz by DQ

Steph talking to Kurt backstage about his gold medals and her title belt. Steph brings up the issue of HHH and Kurt is mad that H raised his voice at her. He says Hunter needs sensitivity training.

Commercial Break- You know, being Jewish, you would think that the choice of Joe Lieberman as Vice President would please me, but honestly could Gore have chosen a worse candidtate? A liberal who believes in censorship? Gimme a break. I'd rather have f'ing Bull Buchanan as my VP. Enough politics, for now

"Joe" talking to HHH in his dressing room. "The guys" think Angle is the one wrestler who might be able to take out HHH.

Replays of the vicious table shot for the brunette ho.

Eddie Guerrero w/ Hef's Chyna and Too Cool v. T&A and Val Venis w/ Trish
I really hope that Scotty doesn't think the denim jacket with the worm crossing patch on it is cool. Val immediately pulls Eddie out of the ring and goes to work on him. Eddie got a piledriver to the floor and is hurt. Scotty looking for the early worm and hits it on Val. Albert with a big boot and now the heels dominate. Scotty is looking for the tag, but both of his partners are down, so he tags in Chyna. Mamacita takes out Val and crotches both members of T&A. Val with the Fisherman's suplex on Chyna, but the refs are distracted by action on the outside. Eddie with a Frogsplash on Val and Chyna rolls on top.
Winners: Too Cool, Eddie and Chynais that legal?

"Joe" causing more trouble backstage between Angle and HHH.

Commercial Break

Women's Champ SMH is out with the belt. She looks good tonight. Teal blue tanktop, tight black leather or vinyl pants. Steph wants to publicly apologize to HHH. She wants him to know that she and Kurt are just friends. She calls out HHH, so that she can apologize to his face. HHH gets a small pop. She is truly sorry, does he forgive her? Hunter thinks for a while and then hugs her. Crowd boos hardcore. Now that the personal stuff is taken care of, they need to attend to business. Here is King Kurt. There's an expression called "in the heat of battle." New Yorkers use it when they're running away from the cops. Angle says he and Steph got lost in the heat of battle at Smackdown on Thursday. When she jumped in his arms, Kurt could only think about their friendship and the sacredness of marriage. HHH on the stick. He knows Angle is full of shit. Steph wants them to shake hands. Car crash. Here's our Commissioner. Crowd chants Foley, nice. Foley's hair looks better tonight. Foley's sick of the whining, so tonight at MSG, HHH and Foley will go at it in a #1 Contender's match.

Benoit walking backstage. That match is next.

Commercial Break

No DQ WWF Championship
The Rock (c) v. Chris Benoit w/ Shane O'Mac

Commercial Break- Nice match, but I guess we're looking at Rocky v. HHH again.

Shane and Benoit whining to the Commish backstage. They want Jericho punished tonight. Foley is putting Jericho in the #1 Contender's match tonight! That is phenomenal!

Tazz Dudley (it's the glasses and the physique) is here. He gets the pop from the home crowd, but quickly turns on them. Tazz expected much more from Good Ole' JR. Accuses JR of having a problem with him. JR denies the accusation. Tazz calls JR a "redneck scumbag." Also tells Lawler to sit his ass down. Tazz knocks off the Stetson hat. Tazz says he wants to slap JR across the face, but it looks like god already beat him to it. JR smacks Tazz noce and Tazz challenges him to do it again. Instead, the King coldcocks him. Refs break up the fight. Best Tazzzzzz segment so far.

Commercial Break
