Matlock said:Cena, Michaels, Hogan, Christian, and Jericho all in the same ring. Greatest RAW ever, just for that amount of awesomeness in one place.
Plus that Flair/Angle. Holy crap!
Outcast2004 said:Oh and Batista didn't work tonight... that pretty much cements he's going to Smackdown.
Matlock said:What was Batista referring to when he said he lost something last night? Did HHH ride his pop his cherry on the way down the chocolate highway to the banana split?
aparisi2274 said:i would have perferred the rock
I take that hollywood thing as a double-meaning. Hollywood Hulk Hogan.Lyte Edge said:Eh, it was Hogan, but I still can't help but mark out for him anyway.And LOL @ at Hogan doing the "You can see me" hand thing.
I knew it wouldn't be the Rock as soon as Christian and Jericho said "well, we're near Hollywood...could it be...NAAAH!" No way they'd mention the mystery partner like that. Although I read last week that Hogan wasn't supposed to show up until the July 4th RAW. Maybe he'll be back again.

As we noted a week or so ago, Vince McMahon was very impressed with Rob Van Dam's mic skills at the ECW PPV and plans to give him more mic time for better character development on RAW.
Come back Matt! Come back Matt!Lyte Edge said:Interesting; I just read on Rajah.com that the WWE is telling Matt Hardy not to sign with TNA as they want him to come back and feud with Edge. Part of me wants him to tell them to go fuck themselves, but I don't give a rat's ass about TNA either.

aparisi2274 said:I can not see how that angle would work? How can you have a guy whose best friend stabbed him in the back and stole the love of his life, work together and not bust each other up in a fight.....
Lyte Edge said:First Smackdown! draft pick revealed this evening:
It's!!!! He's going to replace Big Show in the SD! six man title match.CHRISTIAN
Does that mean the final pick isn't going to be anybody special then? or will it really be Batista?
But man, I likeand don't get to watch Smackdown! much...guess it's time to start taping it or something.Christian

DMczaf said:Its the Masterpiece, so that means I walk away and do something more entertaining![]()
Bowser said:I know who he is, it's just, um, RAW ended like 2 hrs ago.
edit: Lyte Edge, where are you getting your spoilers from?

*Smackdown opened with a recap of Teddy Long announcing plans for a new Smackdown champion to be crowned tonight.
*Muhammad Hussan did an interview saying no one can defeat him, and complaining he was a prisoner in his own country. He called out Undertaker saying Taker didnÂ’t deserve to be in the Smackdown championshpip match tonight. Undertaker came out and chokeslammed Daivari.
*WWE Cruiserweight champion Paul London vs. Chavo Guerrero was stopped after Mexicool hit the ring and laid out both. They came out with the lawn mowers like last week and cut a promo saying they weren’t going to take it from the “gringos.”
*Backstage, Eddie Guerrero was interviewed. He was smiling and the interviewer asked why he was so happy, since he lost last week. Guerrero said he was smiling because he knew that Rey Mysterio was going to be in the ring later tonight begging Eddie not to “tell the truth.”
*Backstage, Melina said it was going to be her night to shine.
*Melina pinned Michelle McCool. MNM came to ringside after the finish and hit the Snapshot after the bell. Heidenreich made the save and cleared the ring.
*Eddie Guerrero came to the ring and showed a video of Guerrero at a playground talking to Rey Mysterio’s son in a “creepy way” offering to tell him a bedtime story. Mysterio hit the ring and Guerrero asked him if he thought it was time his son knew the truth. Rey asked Guerrero not to do this and Eddie told him to get on his knees and beg him. Rey did and Guerrero pulled out candy and smashed it in Rey’s face, walking off.
*Six-Way Elimination match: Christian vs. JBL vs. Chris Benoit vs. Undertaker vs. Muhammad Hussan vs. Booker T. Order of Elimination: Undertaker is disqualified for hitting Hussan with a chair. Hussan went to the back and was never officially eliminated. JBL pinned Chris Benoit. Christian pinned Booker. JBL pinned Christian to win the match.
*Teddy Long came out holding a sack with the “Smackdown title” saying that JBL won the match but not the Smackdown title, since Long was just informed they don’t need a Smackdown champion.
*WWE World champion BatistaÂ’s music hits and he comes to the ring, faces off with JBL and brawls with him.
Brian Fellows said:Bischoff should trade Angle, Carlito, and Shelton to Smackdown for Renee Dupree, Matt Morgan, and The Undertaker
The Bookerman said:are you out of your goddamn mind?!
FUCK NO.
evil ways said:No fucking way, instead Smackdown should take Snitsky, Chris Masters, and Viscera and Raw gets Undertaker & Christian.
Himuro said:I watched last night and I was surprised to see HBK and Hulk. It was fun.
But damn, why pose for so long guys??![]()
Nameless said:I'm Glad Christian got drafted to SD....He will be able to have more of the spotlight as a true top heel on the roster. I was strongly hoping he would go to SD with one of the final picks because face it, getting over as a super heel on raw has been damn near impossible over the last 3 years because of HHH; add Kurt Angle, the newly turned heel Y2J, Edge who is constantly pushed, and also Carlito who gets more over week after week, things would have just been too convoluted on Raw for Captain Charisma to shine as he should or reach his true potential.
On Smackdown, he can come right in and undisputedly be one of the top 2 or 3 heels on the program. He can work alone, or be paired up with someone like Matt Morgan..Not only would they make for some hilarious exchanges, but Christian and Matt Morgan would remind me of HBK and Deisel, Morgan is a better enforcer/bodygaurd/sidekick for a Maineventer than Tomko was, as he has the potential to be a major player himself..unlike Tomko. Hell with both Carlito and Y2J on Raw Christian would be perfect for his own show segment..."The Peep Show" anybody?? I know its a little corny but it fits.
Raw drew a 4.4 rating, well above the recent average. Those who enjoy the Diva Search will be pleased to learn that it was the highest rated segment of the show drawing a 4.7 rating, a tie with the overrun featuring Hulk Hogan & Shawn Michaels & John Cena vs. Tyson Tomko & Christian & Chris Jericho. The lowest rated quarter hour was 3.7.
