Vince McMahon stares through my television screen.
Vince: Good evening. Two weeks ago here on Raw Triple H was to have joined the Mr. McMahon kiss my ass club. I didn't get waht I wanted on that night. As a result of that last week Triple H was to face all five members of the SS in a handicap match. Triple H was to have been dismembered. But thanks to Shawn Michaels....that didn't happen either. So I didnt' exasctly get what I wanted either. But this week - oh yeah...this week I"m going to get exactly what I want. I've heard there was going to be some sort of DX reunion. There's not going to be any DX reunion. There's something going to be the destruction of Degeneration X. And you don't believe me? Actions speak louder than words.
Vince walks and runs into a man with a chicken.
Vince: It's a chicken!
Man with a chicken: It's a cock. Apparently you love cocks.
Vince: Why don't you tell your little chicken man that whoever put you up to this...I'm not in the mood.
Vince walks some more and runs into an alien. Vince stares it down and keeps on walking as the alien mimics his every move.
Some chip'n'dales walk up to him and say they are ready to blow his mind. They dance as Vince stands with his hands in his pockets pissed off. He keeps on walking.
Dusty Rhodes walks up and tells him to look at something. Vince says he's going to destroy DX tonight. Dusty pimps his DVD. Dusty goes to sell the DVD to the strippers so Vince keeps on walking. A UPS guy walks up and asks him to sign for something - his delivery. Vince asks what it is. It's his imported penis enlarger pump! Crowd is going wild! Vince is pissed and says he is going to destroy DX.

See this number 12 sized shoe? See that? (ASSHOLE chants) I'm going to take this number 12 sized shoe, I'm going to take the toe of it and I'm going to firmly plant it right between Triple H's butt cheeks. Then I"m going to take the heel and I'm going to knock Shawn Michaels' teeth right down his throat. I've got a plan here tonight for DX. Definitely. Big time plan. See I'm going to take everybody on the ros-
Shane McMahon is here!

WINNERS: Mickie James and Candice Michelle (1:28)
After the match Mickie lands a cheap shot on Candice and strips her down to her bra and panties! Mickie mocks Candice with the Go Daddy dance. Mickie goes over to the booth and steals JR's hat.

The Spirit Squad is absolutely slimed by some Green Slime!
Triple H and Shawn Michaels laugh it off as the Spirit Squad slips around the ring.
-A commercial aired for ECW on SciFi.
[Commercial Break]
-A commercial aired for the "World's Greatest Wrestling Managers" DVD.
-They replayed the green slime incident. They showed a wide angle shot of the slime coming down from the rafters.
-Spirit Squad told Coach they look ridiculous and wanted revenge. Coach said Mr. McMahon had a plan and he will see it through. Coach turned and saw Paul Heyman sitting on a couch in Mr. McMahon's office. Heyman said he had a busload of his ECW rebels ready to invade Raw. Coach asked what he wanted. Heyman said he wanted to negotiate. Heyman said the no. 1 show on all of cable last Tuesday was ECW on SciFi. Heyman said he wanted to give Raw a rub, so he suggested Randy Orton & Edge should face Kurt Angle & Rob Van Dam in the main event. Coach said he had a lot to do, so if it got him out of his hair, he'd agree to it. Like Columbo, Heyman wasn't quite done yet. He said last week on Raw, John Cena took a chair to the head of Balls Mahoney. He said Balls was in the ECW bus outside. He said Balls didn't deserve it, but it was a typical action from a thug like Cena. He said he wanted to see Cena vs. Balls one-on-one later tonight. Coach agreed.
-They showed workers trying to clean up the green sline in the ring and at ringside. It was quite an undertaking. Lawler told Ross his suit was ruined. Ross still wanted to know where his hat was.
-They went to Kane backstage, as Ross asked him questions from afar. Ross asked if he knew who the imposter Kane is. Kane said he knows who it is and why he's doing what he's doing. Kane said there was a guy in his childhood who was even more screwed up than he was. "I even felt he was demented," Kane said. Ross asked if he was scared of him. Kane looked scared as he said the things he did were too gruesome to detail. "You have no idea," he said.
[Commercial Break]
Clips aired of Umaga beating up Hacksaw Duggan last week with Eugene crying at ringside.
3 -- UMAGA (w/AAE) vs. MICK CHESTNE (sp?)
Ross said Eugene will face Umaga one-on-one at Vengeance on Sunday. Umaga charged and crushed the jobber's head in the corner with a butt splash. Ross said nobody has challenged Umaga yet. Umaga won quickly after a Samoan spike. Ross wondered what Umaga would do to Eugene at Vengeance.
WINNER: Umaga in 1:00.
STAR RATING: 1/4* -- Another dominant squash. There will be anticipation for Umaga the first time he faces a strong babyface.
-Ross and Lawler plugged the DX reunion, Edge vs. Ric Flair, and John Cena vs. Balls coming up later.
[Commercial Break]
-A clip aired from last week's ECW TV show primarily featuring Cena.
4 -- JOHN CENA vs. BALLS MAHONEY
Balls carried a chair to the ring with the words painted on it, "Cena must pay." Although he got cheered during ring intros, a "Cena sucks" chant broke out. That was drowned out by a "Cena, Cena" chant. As Cena went into his finishing sequence. Heyman slid a chair to Balls. Cena used a drop toe hold to send Balls face-first into the chair, then applied the STF for the win. Cena turned to Heyman, who begged off. Sabu attacked Cena with a chair, then rammed his head into the announcers' table. Sabu KO'd Cena with a monitor. He followed with a springbaord legdrop from the top rope onto the back of Cena, dropping him through the table. An "ECW, ECW" chant broke out as Ross screamed, "Jesus Christ almightly!" They showed Cena out cold on the floor with blood streaming from above his right eye. They stuck with the ringside scene for an extra minute, showing Cena finally getting to his feet.
WINNER: Cena in 4:00.
STAR RATING: * -- Not much to the match, which was clearly there to just set up the post-match angle. Ross was excellent during this. Sabu hit his big spot perfectly, too. WWE fans who hadn't seen much or any of Sabu before would remember that big legdrop spot through the table. Good set-up for the Cena-Sabu match at Vengeance.
5 -- RANDY ORTON vs. SNITSKY
Orton applied a chinlock early. It's not an Orton match without one of those. He finds room for it in even the shortest of matches. After a series of reversals and sidesteps between Orton and Snitsky, Orton finished Snitsky with an RKO.
WINNER: Orton in 3:00.
STAR RATING: 3/4* -- Too short to amount to much, but the finishing sequence was better than you'd expect from these two.
-Lawler interviewed Orton at ringside, asking him about having to return to ECW tomorrow in a tag match. Orton said as far as going into an ECW ring with ECW rules, he said he's not excited, but he is tougher than Cena, so he's not concerned. He said Angle would find out either on ECW or on Sunday that "Vengeance is mine."
-The WWE 24/7 segment showed a clip from June 21, 1981 of Dusty Rhodes vs. Harley Race at the Atlanta Omni.
-Back live, Ross and Lawler were still sitting in front of a crushed announcers' table. Ross acknowledged the last clip featured "the late, great Gordon Solie on commentary."
-Carlito, from mid-ring, said he was backstage minding his own business as always, but Coach must have heard him laugh at the DX antics, so he made his match a handicapped match. Carlito said Coach is not cool, but Carlito becoming IC Champion this Sunday at Vengeance, "That's cool."
6 -- NITRO (w/Melina) & SHELTON BENJAMIN vs. CARLITO
During Melina's ring entrance, Ross told Lawler he spilled the Cialis blue pills all over the desk. Nitro got tossed around by Carlito in the opening minute. When Nitro reached to tag in Shelton, Shelton chewed him out and said he sucked. Nitro tagged himself back in at 2:00. Shelton got in Nitro's face. They argued, then exchanged blows. Nitro clotheslined Shelton over the top rope. Carlito rolled up Nitro. Nitro rolled through, yanked on Carlito's tights, and scored a three count. Nitro and Melina signaled they wanted the IC belt. Shelton and Carlito brawled afterward. Carlito gave Shelton the back cracker.
WINNER: Nitro & Shelton in 3:00.
STAR RATIING: *
[Commercial Break]
-Coach discovered that Vince's office had been defaced by black and green spray paint stating, "DX" and "Are Your Ready?" and "Suck it!" The Vince mag cover had also been spray painted. Shawn and Hunter walked in and pretended they hadn't seen it yet. They gave Coach a hard time and said since he was in charge, he'd be in trouble. Coach said the plan for them was first class accommodations for their reunion. Shawn and Hunter offered to watch the rest of the show with Coach. They sat him down with them on the couch.
-Maria interviewed Eugene. Eugene said he almost didn't recognize her because he saw her in her bra and panties earlier. "You're pretty," he said. Maria asked for an update on Duggan. Eugene said he's resting at home. He said this Sunday at Vengeance, he knows Umaga is big and strong, but he's going to get revenge for Hacksaw. Rob Conway walked in and mocked Eugene. "Way to look out for your friend last week," he said. Eugene exploded on Conway with a barrage of punches, then looked shocked at his own outburst, and then ran off.
-Ross thanked the fans for making Raw the no. 1 show on all of cable television again last week. With some new hit series like "Saved" and "The Closer" on TNT, that may not happen as often as it has in the past. Ross and Lawler then overviewed the Vengeance line-up.
-They went backstage to Coach, Hunter, and Michaels. Michaels asked Coach if he was going to buy the PPV over and over in intentionally obnoxious fashion. Coach said he had enough. He said if they had plans to mess around later, they have no idea what they're in for. Coach said messing with him is like messing with Mr. McMahon. Hunter said when he puts it like that, it's pretty clear they ought to not cause problems. Coach said he appreciates them understanding. Then their friendly handshake turned into Coach being thrown head-first through the wall. They pulled of Coach's pants, revealing a thong. Then they spray painted his ass cheeks with "DX."
-A segment aired with The Highlanders. They said they've travelled from Scotland to a motor lodge in the U.S. They couldn't figure out how to use the key card. Robbie checked down the door, then complained their was no football on TV. They discovered "Adult Titles." They said they're adults, so check it out. The porn music came on and they tilted their heads and said, "I love America."
6 -- RIC FLAIR vs. EDGE
Mick Foley joined Ross and Lawler at ringside. Foley vowed that he was going to embarrass Flair and "stink up the place" to humiliate Flair in his home state. Lawler and Ross asked if he was going to have an intentionally bad match. Foley said yes. He said he can steal any PPV event he wants, but he's choosing not to at Vengeance. He said the line-up is otherwise loaded. He said he takes as much pride in his performances as Flair does. He said Flair doesn't understand his style. He added: "He's going to get what he deserves. A fiasco. A debacle." Edge missed a shoulder charge in the corner when Flair moved. When Ross said McMahon won't be happy with him putting on a stinkaroo, Foley said, "I quite frankly don't really give a damn about Mr. McMahon." Flair gave Edge a low-blow and schoolboyed him for a near fall at 2:00. Flair armdragged Lita into the ring. Flair then chopped Edge. As the ref was distracted by Lita, Foley briefly applied the Mandible Claw on Flair. Edge then hit Flair with a Spear for the win. RVD then hit Edge with a top rope dropkick. He followed with a Five-Star Frogsplash. RVD then retreated through the crowd.
WINNER: Edge in 3:00.
STAR RATING: 1/2* -- Not much to it.
-Spirit Squad tried to talk the rest of the Raw locker room into helping them destroy DX's reunion before DX embarrasses them.
[Commercial Break]
-The lights in the arena went down and green spotlights shined down. The DX music then began. Ross said this was the original DX reunion. How many viewers out there were expecting X-Pac, Chyna, and the New Age Outlaws to show up, too? What kind of reunion includes only two out of six members? Hunter asked the crowd, "Are you ready?!" They cheered. Hunter then did Road Dogg's intro, "For the thousands in attendance and the millions at home, let's get ready to suck it!" Hunter put his arm over Michaels's shoulder. Michaels said, "There's more. Of course, if you're not down with that, we only got two words for ya'." The crowd shouted, "Suck it!" Hutner said DX is back, "bigger and badder than ever, the originals right here tonight."
Michaels said he is guilt-ridden and has to ask the Lord for forgiveness. He said at this very minute Vince and Shane are nervously biting their finger nails over Stephanie's labor pains. Hunter pointed at Shawn and said, "Liar!" Michaels said Steph is just fine. Michaels asked aloud, "Who do you think got her pregnant." Hunter said, "I don't know, but that guy's got to be a huge stud, hung down to here." Michaels interrupted and said he wanted to segue into a shameless PPV plug. When Michaels began to talk about facing Spirit Squad at Vengeance, the Spirit Squad music began. Out came five midgets dressed as Spirit Squad. Ross said, "Someone put Spirit Squad in the dryer." Hunter and Michaels easily shoved them aside. Michaels even superkicked one of them. Nash and Hunter and Michaels must have had a conference call a few weeks back when planning their segments over the past week.
Hunter said he's been thinking about cheerleaders lately. Michaels put on a blindfold. Out came a female Spirit Squad. Only four of them, though. The female Spirit Squad did a cheer, and then took off their tops revealing black bras with green "DX" spray painted on them. "You guys are the breast cheerleaders ever," said Hunter. Hunter told them to feel free to take off their tops. He said he had a cheer for them. Out walked the actual Spirit Squad along with about eight other Raw wrestlers. When Spirit Squad got to the ring, they discovered their back-up troops had abandoned them. Hunter and Michaels gave a Pedigree and Sweet Chin Music to two of them. The other three yanked them to ringside safety. Hunter said, "In case you girls have forgotten, we are Degeneration X and at Vengeance, you are going to get your asses handed to you DX style." The midget Spirit Squaders then turned around, bent over, and mooned them. They had "Suck It" spelled on their ass cheeks. Ross said DX would be a lot more serious on Sunday night!
