It happens
By Louie Dee

There’s an old expression that says…well, “S**t Happens.” On RAW, it happened
alright; thanks to DX, it happened all over Mr. McMahon, his son Shane and the
Spirit Squad.
DX were scheduled to take on Shane & Mr. McMahon, and before the match the
McMahon men said that they would “beat the crap” out of DX. However, the match
never even took place; and as for DX’s crap, well, it ended up all over the
Chairman and his associates.
When the match was set to begin, Mr. McMahon’s music hit; but instead of the
Chairman, Triple H came out dressed as such. The Game cleared up any rumors
about Mr. McMahon, insinuating that he didn’t like cocks, but in fact it was
Dicks. You know, Dick Ebersol, Dick Cheney, Dick Clark and the like. When he
threatened to fire anyone who got between him and his Dicks, HBK came out to
Shane-o-Mac’s music; Michaels was even dressed like the younger McMahon,
complete with Shane-o-Mac jersey.
The “product of Mr. McMahon’s semen” showcased his dancing skills, which brought
The Game to put a halt to the proceedings. Having to top HBK, The Game rolled a
clip on the TitanTron of Mr. McMahon singing “Stand Back” at the 1987 Slammy
Awards! The degenerates danced to the classic tune until finally the Chairman’s
music hit once again.
As the McMahons threatened DX with baseball bats, they introduced the
“observers” who would watch the match. Of course, it was the Spirit Squad. But
as Mr. McMahon told DX what was in store for them, he noticed a Porta-Potty
sitting on the stage. When the poor WWE Chairman inquired what it was for,
Triple H told him that it was there because he was full of crap.
And then the heavens opened. In a scene that would make even the worst offenders
cringe, the McMahons and the Spirit Squad were covered in crap! Yes, actual
human waste. If you thought the green paint last week was bad, well, go find one
of the McMahons and tell him that. DX was left standing tall, once again getting
the best of Mr. McMahon and his band of henchmen.
Moving onto less messy matters, the WWE Championship was on the line in the main
event of RAW when Rob Van Dam defended his gold against John Cena. The match was
made last night at Vengeance, and earlier in the night on RAW, Edge expressed
his displeasure about Cena’s opportunity to regain the gold.
Interrupting Torrie Wilson’s WWE Summer Special Magazine cover unveiling, Edge
said he was the MVP on RAW, and that he was the one who should be on magazine
covers and receiving WWE Championship opportunities. Since he couldn’t get what
he wanted however, he decided that he would “get the hell off of RAW.” Edge &
Lita then left through the crowd and exited the arena, leaving behind the “joke”
that was RAW. Unfortunately, the joke would end up being on Cena and Van Dam
later in the night.
Cena and Van Dam threw everything they had at each other, and late in the match
it looked like RVD was ready to put the challenger away. However, Cena rolled
away from a Five Star Frog Splash attempt, and after blocking Rolling Thunder by
using his knees, Cena looked poised to reclaim the gold. He nailed RVD with an
FU and locked him in the STFU, but just as the champion looked to tap out, Edge
ran in and attacked both men. After nailing Cena with the Edgecution DDT and
spearing RVD, the Rated-R Superstar told the WWE Champion that he would “see him
tomorrow night.” If what Edge meant what I think he did, that means that the
Rated-R Superstar will be showing up on ECW on Sci Fi to confront the champion.
Speaking of champions, the Women’s Championship was on the line on RAW as well.
In her first match back after missing two months with a shoulder injury, Trish
Stratus challenged Mickie James for the gold. Trish fought valiantly, but
unfortunately couldn’t get the job done, as Mickie nailed her with a DDT to get
the pinfall and retain the gold.
After the match, however, Melina led new Intercontinental Champion Johnny Nitro
to the ring. Melina told Trish that while the six-time Women’s Champion may have
been the top WWE Diva at one point, that title now belonged to her. This enraged
Trish, who attacked Melina. Unfortunately, Nitro grabbed Trish and it looked
like a two-on-one attack would occur until Carlito ran out from the back to help
Trish by running them off.
Later, Trish caught up to Carlito in the back and thanked him, but Carlito went
off on a rant about Nitro stealing his victory at Vengeance. When he finally
realized what was happening, however, Carlito told Trish it was no problem. A
smiling Trish then referenced Carlito’s “Do You Spit or Swallow?” shirt and
whispered something in his ear. Carlito’s response? “Now THAT’S cool!” Now, I
don’t know what she said, but if my assumption is correct, I may have to get me
one of those T-shirts.
The saga between Kane and his impostor also continued on RAW. The Big Red
Monster took on Randy Orton, and as it looked like he was going to finish off
the Legend Killer, the impostor made his way to the ring. Kane tried to attack
both of them, but unfortunately fell victim to an RKO that gave Orton the
victory.
After the match, impostor Kane tried to attack, but the Big Red Monster. He
basically destroyed the doppelganger, giving him two chokeslams in the ring
before the impostor ran away. After one more chokeslam on the stage, Kane
dragged the impostor through the backstage area. As they reached a back door,
the Big Red Monster ripped off the impostor’s mask, saying “I believe that this
is mine!” Kane then threw him out the door, but not before it was revealed that
the impostor was bald like the Big Red Monster.
Also, the Charlie Haas/Viscera/Lilian Garcia love triangle continued to simmer,
which worked out in the favor of Lance Cade & Trevor Murdoch. As Viscera & Val
Venis took on Cade & Murdoch, Haas made his way to ringside and began to talk to
Lilian. Lilian seemed disgusted, but the worst was yet to come. As Viscera was
dominating in the ring, Haas began to rub her shoulders before finally kissing
her. That distracted Vis long enough for the former World Tag Team Champions to
do a little high/low action on big man. They nailed their old Sweet and Sour
signature move to get the pinfall, and an angry Vis was left in the ring to stew
about the whole situation. This also happened to be Val’s first match on RAW
since injuring his elbow nearly three months ago; as you can tell it was a tough
night for the returnees.
Ric Flair also made an appearance on RAW, appearing via satellite from his home
in Charlotte. His specific point of interest was Mick Foley, and Flair lambasted
the Hardcore Legend for his actions at Vengeance.
“Last night, you proved that everything in my book is true,” Flair screamed.
“You’re a glorified stuntman who takes the easy way out.”
Later, Flair added that Foley “knows nothing about wrestling,” and that “the
next time I see you, the glorified stuntman will be mine all night long. WHOO!”
And in one other toilet humor moment, another video showcasing the Highlanders
was seen on RAW. Rory McAllister and his cousin Robbie were in a bathroom this
time, and the Scottish pair was mesmerized by a urinal. You can pretty much
guess what happened next, but to make a long story short, the Highlanders will
make their debut next week on RAW. If they’re as entertaining in the ring as
they have been in their preview videos, then you can count me in as the first
man aboard their bandwagon.
