QUOTE OF THE WEEK: By the way: OTHER people talk about "CRZ" a HELL of a lot more than *I* do. I am specifically referring to two other WrestleLine telvision recappers who should know better but seem to sneak in a reference to me EVERY SINGLE FRICKIN' WEEK. GIVE IT A GOD DAMN REST. GET TO THE WRESTLING. - CRZ, One Year Ago This Week on RAW

If you want to have some fun, you would be well-served to take a trip down memory lane with me. WrestleLine still has my RAW report from last year at http://www.wrestleline.com/wwf/raw/crz81099.htm - it features the end of the "Countdown to the Millennium." Where that may have been Vince Russo's writing at it's best, you can also pop over to the home skillet at http://www.CRZ.net/wrestling/raw/980810.html and see a fine example of Russo's writing at it's worst (AND BY THE WAY, you will ALSO see how TERRIBLY TERRIBLY BIASED I am...only it's not a Nitro report, and you can't help but be confused.)

Oh yeah, for more wacky Russo-ness, check out my One Year Ago Heat recap at http://www.wrestleline.com/wwf/heat/aug99/crzheat8999.htm - Meat gets a hardon and Ivory paints "SKANK" on Tori's flesh. And Grimes wears white. And some other stuff.

Rick said WrestleLine wanted some more WrestleManiacs hits this week, so there're your free plugs. Will I write something tonight worth reading NEXT year? Stick around...

TONIGHT: Last Thursday, that hug took a long, long time. Triple H and Stephanie collide...at the top of the hour!

Waaaaaait--what the heck is THIS? "Nash Bridges?" Where's my "Walker, Texas Ranger," dammit? WHERE'S MY "WALKER, TEXAS RANGER?!?"

No singing Chuck! No "'cause that's where the Ragner's gonna be!" No...God, it's so sad. No *wonder* I went to sleep instead of watching this show a second time to do the report.

SmackDown! "highlight" package - by which I mean, Stephanie, Triple H and Kurt Angle wackiness

Moving out of clips, we see Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley pacing around...presumably waiting for her husband

Opening Credits - close captioned logo sneaks in there

BLOW IT UP AND SET IT OFF, we are LIVE from the grandaddy of 'em all - Madison Square Garden in New York City, 7.8.2K and tonight on the USA Network...RAW IS WAR!

LA ROCA comes out first - let's waste no time! This is MSG! Commentators remind us that Benoit pinned the Champ on Thursday. Tonight, Rikishi takes on X-Pac, Matt Hardy teams with the APA against the Big Show, Edge & Christian. Eddie Guerrero and Too Cool take on Stable Stratus, the Dudleyz face RTC, and probably a couple more matches. Hey, thanks, Ross! Ross also announces attendance: 17,578. The reason I can type all this is because Rock is *milking* it. "Now the Rock says that last week on SmackDown!, Shane McMahon, like the man you are, hit the Rock in the head with a steel chair...Chris Benoit, you got the 1, 2, 3 on the Rock, so maybe Shane McMahon, you're trying to send the Rock a message. Maybe you think that Chris Benoit was screwed out of the WWF title. Maybe you think that Chris Benoit should be the WWF Champion. And maybe you think that Benoit should go on and face the Rock at SummerSlam for the WWF title. Is that what you think, Shane? Well, after careful consideration, the Rock says this...............................he wipes a New York City sewer rat's ass with what you think! You see, Shane and Chris Benoit, it's as simple as this, forget about SummerSlam - because there's gonna be no more back and forth, no more tit for tat - Benoit, you want your title shot, you got your title shot, right here, right....now." Here come CHRIS BENOIT & SKIPPY. "Rocky, the entire world knows that at Fully Loaded, I beat you for the World Wrestling Federation title ALL BY MYSELF. Only to have the title stripped by Commissioner Foley. But you know, Rock, that's okay, because by accepting your challenge tonight...["ass hole"]...accepting your challenge tonight, it gives me the chance to beat you, and until you prove me wrong, become World Wrestling Federation champion!" "Yes yes yes, hold on one second, that is true, Chris Benoit will become the World Wrestling Federation champion here tonight, Rock - but under one special stipulation, which I'll get to in a second, but Rock... whatever. Quiet down! Now, Rock, I'm actually shocked that you can remember anything from last Thursday night at SmackDown! I mean, the chairshot to the head, Chris Benoit coming off the top rope, but you know what? I guess, just for giggles and my own personal amusement, I didn't think you would remember, so I had the truck put together a special videotape, so Rock, allow me to take you down to Memory Lane to last Thursday night at SmackDown!, please roll the footage. Yes, there it is...Rocky goin' for the People's Elbow, off one, with great ease, and two and OHHHH! WHAM and again! No, but that wasn't enough, Chris Benoit coming off the top rope with the flying headbutt - and yes, right there listen, - yes, Rock, did you hear that? 1, 2, 3, Chris Benoit did defeat you In That Very Ring in the middle. Rock, that is your fate, that is exactly what Chris Benoit is gonna do tonight because Chris Benoit will walk outta here the World Wrestling Federation champion. But, Rocky, we're not done, no, the night is just beginning for you, because it's not bad enough, Rock, that we just defeat you for the WWF Championship, nono. What's gonna happen tonight, Rock...["Shane's a pussy!"]...that's untrue and it doesn't matter because tonight, Rock, you are gonna suffer the same fate of every target that our group has chosen, whether it be Chris Jericho or the Undertaker, Rock allow me to show you what's gonna happen after you lose the WWF Championship tonight - let's go back to last Thursday night again, and let's show you, oh yes, there's Kane and the Big Show, check that out, unbelievable superhuman strength by the Big Show - wham, that's it and DOWN DOWN DOWN, oh yeah! Rock, you see that's exactly how you're gonna be left laying, without the WWF Championship and flat on your back, Rock. The Brahma Bull will be put to rest, and Rock, that special stipulation I was talking about, listen to this - tonight, the World Wrestling Federation Championship will be determined with a 'no disqualification' stipulation!" "No disqualification?" "No DQ!" "Well, the Rock has no problem with that - the Rock in a no-DQ, Shane with no IQ, Chris Benoit with his goofy gap in his teeth, never be on the cover of GQ - you see, 'cause the fact of the matter is this, it just doesn't matter to the Rock, because he Rock is NOT gonna lose the WWF title, the Rock is NOT gonna get taken out, but what the Rock is gonna do, is the Rock guarandamntees to whip not one, not two, BOTH your candyasses all over New York City! [Isn't that two?] If ya smellllllllllllllalalalalalaloooow what the Rock is cookin'!"

Backstage, Kurt Angle catches up to Commissioner Foley, who has made his office on a forklift this week. Did he just hear that? Foley says he was going to save that match for SummerSlam, but if the Rock wants it tonight, he'll give it to him. Angle says he wants to talk about SummerSlam himself. He won his medals in the summer, and at SummerSlam, he should get another shot at gold - he should be the #1 Contender. After being sure to take in a shot about "grabbing a couple handfuls" Thursday, Foley tells Angle...he'll take his request under advisement.

X-PAC NEVER JOBS IN SINGLES MATCHES v. RIKASHMONEY - Hey, if you don't want to call him Rikishi Phatu, perhaps you should remove "Rikishi Phatu" from the entrance video, hmmmmm? Backstage, we see Road Dogg watching on the monitor - he must be toasted, because he makes funny pantomime motions about how big Rikishi's ass is and laughs. Then he scarfs an entire bag of Munchos in three seconds. X-Pac peppers him with rights - 6, 7, 8, Rikishi shoves him down. X-Pac back to rights - six more. Rikishi shoves him again. Block, right by Rikishi, into the ropes, X-Pac ducks, Sunset flip attempt, big ass drop counter misses. Kick, right, kick, in the corner with the kick trifecta, another spin kick for good measure. Rikishi falls to the mat, so it must be time (already?) for the broncobuster. Tomahawk chop for good measure. Field goal kick with the ribs, kick, kick, here's a Chef Boyardee Double Feature of a particularly nasty jumping spin kick. Kick, kick, kick, Rikishi starting to no-sell, kick, off the ropes, but Rikishi catches him in midair with a Stunner-like takedown. Rikishi warms it up - then hits the fat ass splash in the corner. We hear X-Pac fall to the mat - and Rikishi perks right up. It's stinkface time, and X-Pac ain't escaping it this week. Road Dogg gets a good laugh outta that. X-Pac walks into a superkick. Rikishi drags him over to the corner - hey, remember when he used to do that Rikishi Driver? That was a cool move. Anyway, he climbs up for the Banzai Drop, but ROAD DOGG is out to give him an uppernut (DQ 2:57) and save his partner. X-Pac goes in post-match and puts the boots to Rikishi - and Dogg helps. Play "the Kings!" Say, how many times did Ross misidentify X-Pac as "Road Dogg" in this match? Hint: once is too many.

Triple H hits up Foley - apparently, Joe got to him and told him about the title match coming up - he wants to take on the winner at SummerSlam. Foley says he guesses Joe didn't tell him that somebody beat him to the punch about requesting the spot - Kurt Angle was already around. "I know what you're thinking, Hunter - first he takes your wife, then he wants your spot..." Foley says he'll take his request under advisement as well. Then he honks the horn of his forklift a couple times.

Earlier Tonight, them two ho's led a chant

In the dressing room, Triple H walks in. Stephanie wants to explain about what happened to Kurt Angle. H relates that Angle went in to Foley and asked to be the #1 Contender. "So?" "SO? That's MY spot!" H says he's getting sick and tired of this whole Kurt Angle thing...he's done talking. If he sees him tonight, he's kicking his ass.

RIGHT TO CENSOR v. THOSE DAMN DUDLEYZ - "Cut my music! Mayor Giuliani had a dream of cleaning up the city that never sleeps, and thanks to his efforts, this place is much cleaner, much safer, and more acceptable for tourism! And just as he fought the good fight, so will we fight to make the World Wrestling Federation a more wholesome place for entertainment. And as long as the World Wrestling Federation has the Right to Censorship, you can say goodbye to gratuitous violence, vulgarity, and most of all, scantily clad women. And if anybody has a problem with that, they are more than welcome to come to this ring and discuss it further."

Stephanie and Angle take turns admiring each other's gold. Stephanie tells Kurt that her husband is upset - about their celebration last Thursday, about Angle asking for the shot. "I asked first - I *should* be the #1 Contender!" Triple H is VERY mad. "He didn't raise his voice to you, did he?" Angle says that H should be a little more sensitive - perhaps undergo sensitivity training. Be more sensitive to his wife. Stephanie melts and thanks him for being such a good (pause) friend. They shake hands! GOSH!

Mick Foley tells us we have the power to elect. Visit wwfvote.com and smack down your vote!

Here's an exterior shot of the Garden - hmm, their clock is about three minutes fast

There's a knock at Triple H's door - it's Joe. He tells him that he thought he should know that the boys in the back are saying that Kurt Angle might be the one guy who could take out Triple H. Triple H tells him to get out. That Joe's got a real Canadian accent, don't he? Must explain all the visa problems.

Let Us Take You Back to Moments Ago as Goodfather powerbombs that lovely young thing through that table.

EDDIE GUERRERO (with That Slut Chyna) and TOO COOL v. T & A & V (with Trish Stratus - the fitness model) - Chef Boyardee presents SummerSlam 27 August! Bigger, for bigger appetites, I hear.

In the locker room, (Just) Joe tells Kurt Angle that Triple H has been going crazy, disrespecting Angle, his medals, and he's reduced Steph to tears. Angle tells Joe to tell Triple H that he'll wait for him to show up, slap a submission hold on him and make him cry like a baby.

All right, I'm REAL tired of watching that JC Penney ad.

STEPHANIE ONO is out. Call her a slut! "I would like to publicly apologise to my husband. Hunter, I am SO SO sorry for what happened last Thursday night on SmackDown! But I want you to know that Kurt and I are just friends! There - there is nothing more between us. I - I was incredibly excited after pinning Lita on SmackDown!, and, and Kurt was there, and I shouldn't have hugged him for so long. I- I shouldn't have, but- but Hunter, I didn't think I was doing anything wrong, I mean, we were right here - right in front of you! And...but I realise that - that it was wrong - and I'm sorry. Hunter, will you please, please come down here? And I know that you haven't wanted to talk to me since Thursday, and I don't blame you, but - if - if I have to say it in front of the entire world, then I will. Hunter, please come out here and let me apologise to your face." THE NEW MAN makes *his* entrance. "Hunter, I am SO sorry. I'm sorry I've been so impatient, I'm sorry I've been so quick to anger, and I'm sorry I've been so quick to make assumptions. But you've given me a lot of time to think about it, and I think I know why my behavious has been so irrational. Hunter, this is very difficult for me to say." Good lord, she's not pregnant, is she? "But I've been jealous." Whew! "I've - I've been jealous! ["Bull shit"] You know, in marriages, and in relationships, people who love each other, they fight - and - and - they get jealous, and I guess if we didn't fight it would mean that we didn't care, and Hunter...I love you. I love you more than anything else in this entire world, more then I ever thought I was capable of loving anyone, and I can't bear the thought of you with another woman. So all I can say, Hunter, is I am truly, truly sorry. Do you forgive me?" Crowd: "Noooooo!" Hunter takes a swig of his water, another one...and they hug. Crowd can't boo loudly enough. This'll probably cue Mick...nope, she's got more to say. "But now, getting back to what you said earlier tonight, now that we've got our personal life straightened away, we need to talk about business. Okay? So...now, I - I don't want you to get angry, okay? But we need to straight this all out - we need to smooth everything over, so - so business can be successful.

Chris Benoit and Shane are WALKING!

Meanwhile, the Rock is WALKING!

And now, the WWF Slam of the Week, brought to you by Snickers! From SmackDown!, Big Show puts Kane through a hole in the stage he made himself...well, with a little help from that guy under the stage.

WWF CHAMPIONSHIP: CHRIS BENOIT (with Skippy) v. LA ROCA in a no disqualification match - Rock actually appears from behind and surprises both men - as well as the timekeeper who forgets the ring the opening bell for about fifteen seconds. Rock all over Benoit - right, right, right, right, right, head to the buckle, into the opposite corner, clothesline. Stomp, elbow, forearm, head to the buckle, into the opposite corner, Benoit holds on, Rock catches the kick, dragon screw legwhip, Sharpshooter. Shane comes in and lets fly with the forearm to the back of the head, breaking the hold. Shane puts him in the ropes, jumpin' back elbow. Benoit puts his head in the corner, knife-edge chop, chop, right, headbutt. Chop. Right hand. Into the opposite corner is reversed, but Benoit puts up an elbow...then runs into a powerslam...for 2. Benoit with a backdrop suplex. Stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp, Rock rolls outside - Benoit follows. Right hand. Right. Into the STEEL steps is reversed. Neither of these guys should try the Irish whip. Shane takes Rock down from behind with a flying wedidn'tseeit. Benoit puts Rock's head to the ringpost. As Benoit elbows Rock, the Chef Boyardee Double Feature shows that Shane clotheslined Rock - rather roughly, too. Back to real time as they're back in the ring. Benoit stomps on Rock's head. Stomp. Snap suplex. Cover...1, 2, no. Benoit argues the cadence of referee "Blind" Tim White. Benoit picks him up - and drops him across his knee in a backbreaker. This gets 2. Rock draped on the second rope - Shane gives him a choke. Benoit with a stomp.

New Blood Rising promo sneaks into the local slot

Moments Ago - another angle of Jericho appearing - if he REALLY wanted to get the surprise entrance, he'd have not had his pyro and music go off - but that's just me.

Shane and Benoit rant and rave to Foley. Jericho deserves to be punished! Foley says he'll punish Jericho. "What if I put Jericho in a position where two world-class athletes can beat the living hell out of him?" Shane says they'll be happy to take him out - Foley says no, he's putting him in the #1 Contender's match. Shane says that's not much of a punishment, and I'm inclined to agree...

TAZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ is out to make noise. "Madison Square Garden - New York City - my home town! Well I guess that means you people and me have something in common - we're all native New Yorkers. Well, you see the comparison ends THERE. Because while you people are scraping nickels and dimes together to feed your fat kids. I, in the game of life, have made it - you haven't! BOOOOOOO on the hometown boy. Hahahahaha. Well you know what. I expect you people to boo me. You see, you don't know any better - you're preconditioned to boo the bad guy, but you see - there's somebody in this building that I expect just a little bit more from, and that's you - good ol' JR! Let's go back in time. Fully Loaded, you said, and I quote: 'oh that Tazz, he's a piece of garbage!' Unquote! You said, last week, Monday Night RAW, and I quote: 'oh that Tazz, he's just another victim to the stinkyface!' Unquote! You got a problem with me, old timer? You got a problem with me? You know what you are? You ain't nothin' but a redneck scumbag!" Ross stands up. "Hey Lawler, you better sit your ass down, 'fore you get choked out. This is between him and me - sit down, shut up. So you're standing up - so I guess that means you wanna fight me, huh? You people wanna see JR kick my ass? I'll tell you what--" and he knocks off his hat. "Where I'm from, you just got punked out. You wanna fight, JR? You wanna slap me across my face, hah? You know what - I'd love to slap you across your face, but it looks like God already beat me to it." Crowd (and me): "OHHHHHH!" Ross finally hauls off and slaps him one! "I didn't wanna have to do that." Tazz laughs. "Hahahahaha - you know what would make my day? You know what would make me the happiest man in the world? If you were to do that one more time. C'mon, JR, be John Wayne, play hero, one more time, right there, I'm begging you, hit me, hit me again, I'm begging you, swing, swing, swing!" Ross is ready to do it, but Lawler catches Ross' arm and holds it back - then HE pastes Tazz instead.

Your hosts are a pair of kings - LARRY KING & JERRY LAWLER. Ross apologises for his unprofessional conduct. Lawler: "I don't think you did - what do you got to apologise for? The guy's a jerk!" Crowd chants "Jerry." Let Us Take You Back to Moments Ago. You know what's fun? Count how many times you can hear Tazz audibly inhale while he's screaming.

Last Thursday, Drew Pearson was named GM of the New York/New Jersey XFL franchise. Lookit the crazy football! Lookit the crazy Vince McMahon!

WELL IT'S THE BIG SHOW & EDGE & CHRISTIAN (with Skippy) v. ACOLYTES & MATT HARDY - Hardy rushes Edge and it's on. Referee "Blind" Mike Chioda actually manages to keep it one-on-one at the start! Into the ropes is reversed, duck, swinging DDT by Hardy, shot for Christian, shot for Show has no effect - well it's a big headbutt. Edge stomps all over Hardy and tags in Christian. Into the ropes, sidewalk slam/reverse DDT combo. Christian covers for 2, Bradshaw breaks it up. Christian stomps, stomp, Hardy punches back twice. Off the ropes, gutshot by Christian, going for the powerbomb, but Hardy slides through and there's a Russian legsweep. Tag to Bradshaw - big boot for Christian, one for Edge, right hand for each man, Show in, right for HIM, Faarooq in, they both pummel on the Show, into the ropes, double shoulderblock takes him off his feet. Faarooq stomping on Edge - Dominator coming up, but Show has a tag team title belt - WAFFLE. WAFFLE for Bradshaw. What a NOTHIN' match. No wonder the crowd wasn't in it. (DQ 1:38) Hardy on top - going for a top-rope Thesz press - Show catches him and powerbombs him down. The music fires up and THE GHOST RIDER is back. Oh, THAT was the purpose of this match. I guess they gave it away when the STEEL steps mysteriously ended up on their sides and away from the ring, eh? Undertaker drives down, DOESN'T lap the ring, instead throwing punches to take out Edge and Christian. "Big Show - I choose YOU!" In the ring, block, soupbone, left, soupbone, left, repeat about eight times total, ending with a soupbone, and a bit boot that takes Show over the top rope to the outside. Shane tries to fly in and has no effect. SOUPBONE! 'Taker tosses Shane over the top rope to the floor - then climbs on his Lark - I mean, bike - to chase him up the ramp. Shane leaps onto the scaffolding just to the left of the TitanTron. Undertaker leaves his bike--but Show is over and they're gonna go at it again. Undertaker ducks the Show's right hand, then goes back to the rapid-fire body blows. He stole that from Yun Yang, you know. Seven pairs later, one big soupbone reels the Show. Soupbone! Soupbone! 'Taker wraps his fist in a chain - SOUPBONE! Choke with the chain - he's gonna toss him - and off he goes, through a table at the edge of the stage. Hey, who is "SARA" and why is Undertaker wearing a necklace with her name on it? (Wink wink) Play his music! HEY HEY HEY HEY

Moments Ago - Show may lack conditioning, but he can still fall through some tables.

During the Break, Shane hightailed it to a waiting limo and drove off

Back live, the EMT's ask Show what day it is. He fails to answer.

SummerSlam promo - hey, I thought the Kat and Terri had issues - how come they're all friendly on the beach, huh? HUH? WHERE'S YOUR CONTINUITY *NOW*?!?

That was a real nothin' happenin' segment, yo

GOD I wish somebody WOULD pop the lock so I wouldn't have to see this JC Penney ad anymore. Hey, how come they keep spelling it "Penny" in the fineprint? Somebody should be FIRED for that GRIEVOUS misspelling of the company name!

Hey, another exterior shot! This show is brought to you by Foot Locker House of Hoops, 1-800-COL-LECT, and Stacker 2!

Moments Ago - didn't we just DO Moments Ago? Hey, let's have a replay of the replay! BOLD INNOVATIVE TELEVISION

Triple H is WALKING! and looking for Jericho. He stumbles upon Angle and gives him a shove. "Man, you really need some anger management classes, don't you?" Shove. "You wait 'til the ring!"

Earlier Today, the line was long for WWF New York seating.

Moments Ago, a limousine pulled up to WWF New York, and Eddie Guerrero and Chyna got out. Eddie fails to continue to sell the piledriver - well, forget I said anything about it earlier, then.

Chris Jericho is WALKING! I wonder if Triple H will find him before the ad break's up - probably not.

TWO wasted segments in a row! TWO!

Hey, didja hear that the Rock was at the Republican National Convention? He also sat in front of President and Mrs. Bush - damn, he gets better seats than the former president? Still, it would have been funny if he'd said "suck it." True story: the Libertarian party called me up last week and asked if I'd run for a nonpartisan Santa Clara County office. Fortunately, they haven't been able to reach me since that call, and the deadline to file is Friday - I think I'll escape the call of civic duty as a citizen this year. I ALSO think the county is much better off without me elected to serve on the Mid Peninsula Open Space District, El Camino Hospital District, or Santa Clara Valley Water District.

KING KURT ANGLE v. CHRIS MONDAY JERICHO v. THE NEW MAN (with Stephanie Ono) in a triple threat #1 Contender's match - Ross proclaims Jericho's injury "near career-threating," which would explain why he's back after a whole ten days. Angle offers the Hand of Friendship to Jericho...Jericho spits on him instead. H doesn't make it to the end of the ramp before LA ROCA interrupts "My Time" with "If Ya Smell...." and walks out to provide guest commentary. H hits the ring and he and Jericho go at it while Angle watches. Into the ropes, reversed, Jericho tossed over the top rope to the floor. Angle and H lock horns now - shoving match ensues - Jericho back in with a double noggin knocker, knocking each man down with a clothesline, right for each man, Angle into the ropes, back elbow, stomp, running clothesline puts H outside. Angle runs at Jericho and gets dumped to the outside. Jericho with a springboard dropkick to H on the apron, who falls into a clothesline for Angle on the floor! Angle and H shoving again on the floor - Jericho with a tope onto both men, and smacking his own head on the ramp on the way down. H meets the steps, and Jericho rolls him back in - missile dropkick gets 2 and Angle saves. Right by Angle, right, into the ropes, Jericho reverses, Angle holds on, gutshot, going for the Olympic slam, Jericho cartwheels out of the attempt, landing on his feet, clothesline ducked, double leg takedown,

AFTER THE FACT: Hey CRZ,

Thought you might like to know what went on before/after Raw tonight at MSG. There were two dark matches:
The Dupps beat some team from Oklahoma with some sort of double spinebuster type move which didn't look all that great, and the Mean Street Posse (Rodney and Pete "Gas") beat some unnamed team with Rodney's full nelson power bomb. Nobody really cared about either match but my friends and I managed to get a decent "Mean Street Posse" chant going.

Metal taping:
The Big Boss Man squashed TAKA Michinoku and pinned him after a Boss Man Slam; Dean Malenko (w/ hos) beat Essa Rios with the Texas Cloverleaf; Steve Blackman got good pops as he defended his title against Mideon and won with a Lethal Kick to a garbage can; and Lo Down beat Crash/Gangrel when Crash was attacked by the Boss Man, leading to the superplex/frogsplash combo.

Raw was one of the best I've seen lately, with Rock, Jericho, and Lawler getting the biggest pops. I was quite pleased at the number of "Rocky sucks" chants that were started and disappointed by the loud chants of "Save the hos" and the big pop for the Undertaker. Triple H got mostly face heat throughout the night, while Shane/Benoit/Stephanie got the most heal heat.

After Raw:
Triple H gave CPR to Stephanie, patted her on the ass a few times, posed and hugged her, and left together.

Take care,
Michael Piaker
