Cerberos's Raw 11/1/04

Raw comes on the air and Kane is in the ring.  We then go to the back where Todd Grisham is with Edge.

Grisham:  Edge, tonight you request to face off with the Big Red Machine Kane, ARE YOU NUTS!

Edge:  Nuts?  No I am tired of being overlooked.  I was out for over a year with a broken neck and when I came back no one did a damn thing.  No one gave me any respect.  No one did a nice DVD about my boyhood dream like others.  I didn't get any air time about my surgery like Shawn Michaels, Steve Austin, Kurt Angle and Steve Austin did.  Now I am not bitter in that I blame others.  But what I expected was for Chris Benoit to come to me to be on Team Raw and you know what?  He goes after Kane and an ECW reject Rhyno.  One is a man who made a career off his brother, the other is a guy who never amounted to anything.  So tonight I am going to show Chris Benoit that I should be part of Team Raw.

Edge comes out and we have a great match.  Both men were very intense and there were a lot of fists thrown.  Edge was able to hit his Edgeacution DDT for a near fall.  The end came out of nowhere as Edge tried to leap over a charging Kane but he caught him and hit a running powerslam for the win.  

Kane pinned Edge after a running powerslam in 0:06:42.

After the match Kane and Edge went nose to nose and were exchanging words.  Finally Edge raised Kane's hand as we go to break.

BREAK

We come back and we see another member of Team Raw in the ring as Rhyno is waiting on his opponent, Nova.  Nova picked up a huge win over the Man Beast Rhyno.  Rhyno and Nova had great chemistry.  Near the end Rhyno charged the corner with the Gore but Nova moved.  Nova quickly hit his Kryptonite Krunch for the win.  

Nova pinned Rhyno with the Kryptonite Krunch in 0:08:08.

From the back out ran Randy Orton.  Orton and Nova exchanged rights and lefts.  Rhyno, who had recovered in the ring charged but Nova moved and Rhyno hit Orton instead.  Nova quickly took off as Rhyno went after him.  We go to break with Orton writhing in pain.  

BREAK

We come back and we see Regal, Eugene and Benoit walking into Bischoff's office.

Benoit:  Enough of this crap Eric!  What in the hell is this voice mail all about?  I thought you said this was MY team.

Bischoff:  That is where you are wrong.  This is RAWS team.  I have to make sure we have the best team we can have.  And that means that Triple H, Randy Orton and the number one contender to your title Batista are going to be included.

Regal:  Now hold on just one minute.  Those guys don't give a damn about Raw or you or us.  They are only out for their own image.  They want revenge against Kurt Angle for what he did to Triple H.  

Bischoff:  All the more reason to put them on.  Revenge is a great motivator.  They will be trying that much more to get to Angle.  Bottom line is that they are on the team.

Eugene:  What about the match?

Regal:  After what they did to Chris last we want Evolution in the ring.

Bischoff:  Well Randy Orton and Batista are both capable of wrestling but Triple H isn't.  So I will let them pick a partner for tonight.  Now if you will excuse me, I have to go to the ring, I have an important announcement to make.

BREAK

We come back and see Eric Bischoff in the ring.

Bischoff:  A few weeks ago Paul Heyman pulled off a nice trick when he dressed the Dudley's up.  He tricked me and for that I salute him.  However he will pay for that.  With that said I am here to announce at the Survivor Series Raw will be having a six team elimination match.  Six of the best teams here on Raw, not already members of Team Raw, will be involved.  Already signed are La Resistance, Hurricane and Rosey and the team of Christian and Tyson Tomko.  Over the next few weeks I will be watching for three more teams so they better impress me.  Hey Paul, top that!  Now onto our next match, which will be a tag team match, where Hurricane and Rosey will be taking on Val Venis and Steven Richards.  

The two teams, both of which have good team work didn't seem to mesh well.  Finally the battle spilt to the floor and both teams were counted out.  

The Hurricane and Rosey and Val Venis and Steven Richards battled to a
double countout in 0:06:27.

In the back we see the returning Garrison Cade in the looker room when Chuck Palumbo comes out.

Chuck:  Did you hear that?  Listen we have to team up Cade my man.  The two of us could tear those other teams up.  Trust me when I say this.

Cade:  I don't know.  I have been a tag team wrestler in the past and my partner didn't do anything for me.

Chuck:  Hey, I am a former WCW and WWE tag team champion.  

Voice:  Yeah well WCW don't me squat.

The camera reveals Christian watching.

Christian:  I have lost count how many tag team titles---well titles in general I have one.  I carried that worthless Edge on my back for years, I am a multiple time IC and Euro champion baby.  But since Chris Benoit is afraid I will steal his thunder at Survivor Series I am glad The Bisch put Captain Charisma in the tag team title match.  More gold totally rules!

Chuck:  Well after Garrison and I get in the match you won't be winning nothing.

Christian:  Really?  Well you have to get into the match first.  How about we head to the ring and see just how good you two greenhorns really are.

BREAK

We come back and we see Orton in the trainers office when Batista, Ric Flair and Triple H walk in.

Triple H:  Randy, I saw what happened.  Well Rhyno will pay for that trust me.  Next week I have signed where it will be myself, Batista, Chris Jericho, Randy Orton and NOVA taking on Kane, Rhyno, Benoit, Regal and Eugene.  Team Raw will collide next week right before Survivor Series.  Then we can put our differences aside at Survivor Series for one night.

Orton:  WHAT!  You have to be kidding me!  I am not going to team with that jackass Nova.  He has attacked me every chance he has got.  Now I have to team with him.

Triple H:  Well Eric, in another of his great moves, has made Nova our final partner.  Get taped up Randy, you still have a match tonight.  

In the ring we see Garrison Cade just locking up with Tomko.  This wasn't a good match.  It was really a showcase for Christian and Tomko.  The end came when Tomko nailed Cade with a big boot followed by the Unprettier for the win.  

Christian and Tyson Tomko defeated Garrison Cade and Chuck Palumbo when
Christian pinned G. Cade with the Unprettier in 0:02:34.

BREAK

We come back and we see A-Train taking on Maven.  Maven looked good but Train seems focused.  Maven came off the top with a flying ax-handle but Train caught him and hit a the Derailer for the win.  

A-Train pinned Maven with the Dereailer in 0:05:30.

In the back we see Randy Orton and Batista leaving the locker room.  They then meet up with Chris Jericho.  They head to the ring with Ric Flair and Triple H right behind them.  

BREAK

The main event was a brawl to say the least.  Jericho seemed intent do get to Eugene.  Jericho focused on Eugene's back, setting him up for either the Walls of Jericho or Batista's Demon Bomb.  Finally Eugene made the tag to Regal and the match exploded.  During the brawl Batista hit Jericho with a clothesline by accident.  Regal rolled him up and with a handful of tights got the win.  

Eugene, William Regal and Chris Benoit defeated Chris Jericho, Randy Orton and Batista when W. Regal pinned Jericho after a roll up in 0:11:53.
Rating: *** 1/4

After the match Triple H hopped in the ring, showing that he wasn't hurt, and attacked Chris Benoit with his crutch.  From the back out ran Nova as he attacked Randy Orton.  This brought out Kane and Rhyno.  Soon we had all 10 members of Team Raw fighting in the ring.  It is then that Kurt Angle and Paul Heyman appear on the Titantron.  

Angle:  Paul, these are the guys we have to face?  Heck I have beat almost all of them.

At this point the brawl in the ring has stopped.  

Heyman:  Is this really the best Raw has to offer?  We have Rhyno, a man I made but hasn't amounted to jack without me.  Then there is Nova, same thing as Rhyno only he wasn't even a star in ECW!  Next up is Evolution---or should I say the Four Horsemen Lite.  Randy Orton should be a star but instead is happy being Triple H's lap dog.  Batista you should be a monster but instead just keep watching from the shadows as Triple H continues his dominance.  Then there is Triple H---nothing like the bosses daughter huh?  Anyway lets move on to Kane.  Wait, there isn't anything to say about Kane.  He has never been a threat in this company and never will.  Next is the team of Eugene and William Regal.  Nothing like being comedic relief huh?  Lastly we come to Chris Benoit.  I helped make you Chris.  I helped build up your Royal Rumble win.  Every time you have needed help I have been there.  It is going to hurt the most to see you hurt Chris.  But I want to make you an offer.  Next week, three days before Survivor Series, to come to Smackdown.  This is your one chance to come home Chris.  You will be welcomed back to Smackdown with open arms.

Angle:  Its true, its damn true.

The Titantron then fades to a shot from a while ago when Benoit and Angle were teaming together and them hugging.

I've got to say, this ten man is aint half a toss up. The Raw team looks pretty good, the Smackdown team looks strong, no way to call it. But Nova looks good.
