(4) Kane and Big Show defeat Cade and Murdoch As far as Hardcore matches go, this one was pretty average. No blood, but we did get to see Big Show and Kane put a trash can over Trevor Murdoch's head, then kick it while he was leaning against the ring post. It was loud. The match ends when Kane and Show put Cade through the announce table.
After the break, it's time for the main event. And it's barely 8:00. I wonder how this is going to work out. Kurt Angle comes out to the usual "You Suck" chorus, but it seems to be bugging him for some reason tonight. So he decides to go back through the curtain and try it again. "Yeah, that's going to work," laughs Styles.
This time the crowd starts chanting before Kurt's music even starts. Kurt cuts the music, and tells the crowd they have one more chance. If they don't give him some R-E-S-P-E-C-T, there won't be a main event tonight. It's true. It's damn true.
Guess what? The crowd still thinks he sucks. Well, Kurt thinks the crowd sucks. "Middle America is supposed to be about family values, and yet you let your children chant "you suck" to an Olympic gold medalist?" he asks. "You're abusing the First Amendment, and you're abusing me." Your Olympic Hero is mad as hell, and he's not going to take it any longer. He calls the Fort Wayne fans a bunch of "self-absorbed, selfish bastards" and tells everyone they were the ones who sucked, before throwing down the microphone and walking out.
Backstage, Angle is packing his bag, getting ready to leave. Eric tells him he has to go back out and wrestle. Kurt will, on two conditions: One, the idiot fans have to stop chanting you suck. Two, he wants a special, handpicked guest referee. Eric says he can get the ref, but he can't get the fans to stop chanting. Kurt says too bad, and starts to pack again. Eric says he'll take care of it. What do you bet he's going to try the Silencio spell?
HHH's music hits. Coach tells Styles to "pay attention," as he's "this close to greatness." Greatness then plops his ass down in a comfy leather chair at the top of the ramp and waits for the next match.
"Where's my beer, woman?"
(5) Ric Flair defeats Rob Conway Dammit, we missed Conway's intro! Stupid commercials. Flair styles and profiles his way past HHH down to the ring, wearing my grandmother's honeymoon robe. Lillian gives Flair his standard introduction. Afterward, Flair asks her to add one more line: "And the man who beat HHH at Taboo Tuesday". Whooo! Coach says Ric Flair had better pay attention to Conway, as he's the model of excellence, and is 98% fat-free. "You turn your back on Rob Conway, you're going to pay." And Coach should know… Speaking of paying, Flair has had enough of Conway's mocking him, so he grabs a handful of The Conman's nutz and starts tossing him around the ring. (Okay, that certainly didn't sound right.) Flair locks in the Figure Four, but is too busy grabbing the ropes to see HHH walking down to the ring with a chain in his hand. Conway taps out, and HHH starts choking Flair with the chain. Both men start fighting outside the ring, and keep going until the refs break it up.
Bischoff is on the phone telling someone to just hit the censor button when he tells them to. Lita comes in and tries to sweet talk him into not making Edge fight Batista. Bischoff says no way. "Go tell Edge there's nothing he can do about it, and there's nothing you can do about it." Lita asks Eric if he's sure there's nothing she can do about it, before unbuttoning her top and releasing the hounds. Eric simply tells Lita to "put those things back where they belong, because you could put an eye out with one of those. Now get the hell out of my building. Slut."
(6) Kurt Angle and Chris Masters defeat John Cena and HBK via disqualification Okay, now it's really time for the main event. Chris Masters music kicks in. Coach tells Joey Styles this is the part of the show where he needs to be quiet. "Just sit there and don't say anything. Like you're calling a golf match." Interesting that Coach would compare Masters' entrance to a game involving putting a ball in a hole... Kurt Angle comes out, and the crowd starts right back up with the "You Suck!" chant. But this time, Bischoff censors the crowd, so we can't hear them. Unfortunately, Angle can still hear them, so it's totally stupid. Which means Coach thinks it's genius.

Joey Styles is going to save the RAW Booth. Shelton Benjamin needs a PUSH!!!!!! Angle is a decent bad guy....but I think we need CENA to turn Heel, that might spark some creativity.
I can live with Styles over JR.

What is the deal with HHH. All he does is spit water. Why are we supposed to be intimidated? He's awful.

ah. john cena going heel is a good idea. he has been too nice for too long. and about HHH, that facial hair is awful and needs to go. i would be the most excited if dx made a come back but, thats just me.

styles might work out well. providing vince gives him an honest chance.
triple h is just horrible anymore. plus he has too many nicknames.
shelton definitely needs a push. this time last year he was fighting triple h and getting a huge pop. now he's...
maybe he should go against cena, who should've turned heel months ago.

Shelton Benjamin already had a push. He held that IC title for quite a long time so don't tell me he hasn't gotten a push yet. Raw needs to get rid of Cena as the world champ and give it to either Angle or HHH. Cena is boring and annoying and finally people are starting to boo him as much as he deserves. Finally people are realizing what a horrible wrestler/character John Cena is. He's a terrible wrestler and even worse rapper.
Like him or not, Triple H IS the best wrestler right now and arguably of all time. It's a shame they have to use him to put over the likes of Batista and Randy Orton. And the whole thing with Flair is cuz they couldn't fit him into the world title storyline in time and Flair was the best choice for H to feud with until there is an opening in the world title storyline.
And Angle, probably the best technical wrestler right now. Angle is an awesome wrestler, his mic skills are good, he gets the crowd going, he's a good heel. They need to give him a push and let him win the world title again.

no argument about angle. he's always been one of my favorites. i liked him better as a face, but this turn as a heel is really great too.
cena needs to go heel. or at least back to the character he was when he first joined the wwe. back then, he wasn't a face or a heel. he talked smack about everyone, and was a lot more fun to watch.
and you're right; shelton did get a big push. and he was getting huge pops at the live shows. i don't know why they backed off him, but they should get him away from chavo and back into some bigger matches. he had a good thing with hhh during his push; i'd love to see that again.
