The match between Jr. and Coach has now been changed, it will be Jr. and The King vs. Coach and Al Snow, he says the reason for doing this is because Jr. and The King suck, the winning team will be THE broadcast team on Raw. The era of Slobber Knockers and Puppies is about to come to an end.

Commercial
State of Raw Address

Austin says he has a few things to get off his mind before the State of the Address. He says he knows HHH is going to do anything he can to keep the title, thus if HHH get disqualified or counted out then he loses his title. He then talks about Kane and the reckless path he’s been on, he says the right answer would be an ass whopping by Stone Cold but as GM he can’t do that and it sucks. He is the interrupted by Christian. He says what sucks is being the IC champ and not getting any respect from the Co-GM. He then tells Stone Cold that he wants his own talk show, he knows they already have the Highlight Real but he beat Jericho last week, he’s hot and Jericho is not. Now Jericho comes out. Jericho attacks Christian and throws him to the outside, the crowd starts chanting Y2J. Austin says Jericho just showed him something, he likes what he just did. Then Jericho starts to talk trash to Austin, he says he can’t attack someone without being provoked because he’s a bully and couldn’t control himself, he says he is a failure as a GM and a human being, not a day goes by he doesn’t pray that Austin gets fired. Jericho then says he doesn’t think Austin should cancel the Highlight Real, Austin says he wasn’t going to do that, he likes the show. Then he invites Jericho to drink beer with him, Jericho says he isn’t stupid, every time he wants to drink beer with someone he gives them the stunner afterwards. It won’t happen tonight unless Jericho provokes him, then he agrees to it, really funny stuff. Austin throws Jericho a beer but Jericho drops it, then Austin picks it up again and gently tosses it to him, then another, then they drink, Jericho taps Austin on the back. Austin then delivers the stunner to Jericho.

La Resistance & Rodney Mack/Mark Henry vs. Dudleys, Hurricane & Rosey

All 10 guys start the match in wild action, Dudleys hit the "What’s up" on a member of La Resistance (can’t tell them apart) all the Dudleys along with Hurricane and Rosey decide to get the tables but are stopped by Mark Henry. Finally order is made in the match as Rob Conway and Spike go at it. Tag into Mark Henry who is dumped to the outside and hurts his knee. A lot of tags after this and fast paced action. Dudleys hit the 3D on Conway but then Rodney Mack runs in, he’s then taken out. Then Mark Henry runs in and hits a power slam on Bubba and picks up the 3 count. As I said a lot of fast paced stuff. After the match La Resistance works over the Dudleys, they throw Spike onto the floor, his head bounced off a table. Then they put Hurricane through that same table.

WINNERS: La Resistance, Rodney Mack, & Mark Henry

In the back Coach, Al Snow and Bischoff are making fun of King and Jr. Bischoff makes a match for Unforgiven, Dudleys against Conway and La Resistance in a table match. Gail Kim comes up and asks to talk to Bischoff alone.

Commercial

After the break, Terry is asking HHH about later tonight, HHH says Goldberg is like his can of YJ Stinger, the difference is YJ Stinger delivers, all Goldberg does is gives you gas. Goldberg is only hype, last week Goldberg promised he would take his title at Unforgiven, tonight HHH promised he is going to leave Goldberg in a bloody mess.

Now they are talking to Shane via Satellite, he says he is going to get even with Kane. Bischoff interrupts; he wants to know how Shane is feeling, he then says he knows the Shane and Kane match can’t be just any match, it is going to be a last man standing match. Shane says screw you Eric, Bischoff then tells Shane that he doesn’t get it, because it was Bischoff who just screwed Shane.

Commercial

Gail Kim walks up to Molly and Molly asked Kim if Bischoff went for it, Kim says it went better then she thought, it went QUICKER then she thought too. Molly says it is settled, next week they end Trish’s career for good.

Match # 5
Scott Steiner vs. Stevie Richards, Test and Stacie at ringside

Richards attacks Steiner from behind but the advantage lasts all of about half a second as Steiner starts to throw Richards around the ring. Victoria grabs the foot of Steiner which gives Stevie an upper hand, which again is short lived. A belly to belly suplex by Steiner, followed by another, then a clothesline, Victoria then finds it in her best interest to get on the ring apron, Steiner finds it in his best interest to pull her in the ring, Test runs in with a cheap shot but Steiner is able to kick out at 2. Steiner then goes on to win the match as Test stares him down. Steiner gets on the Mic and says it’s obvious to everyone that Stacie doesn’t want to be with Test. Steiner makes a challenge to Test for Unforgiven to get Stacie back. He accepts the match but says that if he wins that he also will get Steiner.

WINNER: Scott Steiner

Commercial

We are back and Coach is in the ring and my tv goes out for a minute, pretty much Coach is just showing different pictures of Jr making fun of him. Then my tv goes out again, I missed the rest of that, sorry guys. When it comes back on here Goldberg is saying he is going to become the heavyweight champ at Unforgiven, that match is next.

Match # 6
Goldberg/mystery partner vs. HHH/ mystery partner

Both men come to the ring, after HHH comes down Bischoff comes down and says nobody tells him what to do, and he will be introduced to his tag team partner, it’s Ric Flair. Goldberg’s partner is Randy Orton. Goldberg starts on the attack, he’s running through Evolution, but finally Evolution starts getting the upper hand, the steal cage starts to lower. As it lowers Goldberg starts to fight back, Orton gets a chair but he gets a spear for his troubles, but HHH gets a chair and has much better luck as he cracks it over the head of Goldberg. Goldberg is busted wide open as Evolution does a number on him. HHH rams him into the cage a few times. Flair and Orton hold Goldberg down as HHH puts the title in his face and tells him that it’s his and that Goldberg will never see it. HHH hits Goldberg with the pedigree, well he actually messed up with it the first time but then tried it again and got it. HHH sits at top of the cage with the title belt as Raw goes off the air.

WINNER: No Contest


Thoughts and Comments

Boy did Kane kill RVD or what? I was expecting a little more out of this match, I did like how RVD kept coming back for more, just thought he’d get in a little more offense.

I love what they are doing with Lance Storm, his character was going nowhere and when the "boring" chants started we all wondered what they were thinking, well they have done a great job with this one IMO.

Trish needs some help, will she get it next week with Jazz or will she continue to be punished?

Please don’t let Test beat Steiner and have him taking orders from him, just let this feud die already.

Jericho is indeed the MVP of Raw, could he really be turning face soon? Loved the segment with he and Austin, does he win the IC belt anytime soon or what?

Will the two people in the country who didn’t see the main event turning out the way it did with Orton as Goldberg’s partner please raise your hand and acknowledge to us all of just how stupid you are?

This is my 2nd week doing this, I’m still learning as I go and I’m trying as hard as I can, feedback is more then welcome. I’ll be back with you guys in 2 weeks, take care.
