in the USA? Then stop questioning your heart and join me because it is time for
Monday Night RAW!!!
Video recap airs recapping the events of September 11th 2001, and the Smackdown
on September 13th 2001.
Lillian Garcia is in the ring and sings a gorgeous rendition of the Star
Spangled Banner
Following the song a U-S-A chant breaks out in the arena.
The RAW intro video plays and pyro breaks out.
The Rock’s music hits and he soaks in the crowd as he makes his way down to the
ring. “Finally The Rock has come back – home”. Before he gets started he
announces, “We got him”. Rock says that he is damn proud of Seal Team Six, and
damn proud to be an American. He leads the audience in the Pledge of Allegiance.
The Rock then walks the WWE Universe through his life and career. From birth to
high school to his time spent at the University of Miami and winning the Orange
Bowl. After college he went on to electrify the world of entertainment. “If you
SMELLLLLLLLL----“
*GeneralMail Alert
and I quote…
I feel like this is –
“WOAH”. The Rock cuts off Michael Cole. He says that if Cole has a message to
read, how about he come into the ring and read it. Cole declines and tries to
continue reading. The Rock cuts him off again. He says that Cole won his match
at Wrestlemania and last night at Extreme Rules, so Cole must consider himself
some sort of tough guy. Rock says that Cole can be a tough guy or the voice of
the WWE and come into the ring and read the message OR he can stay in his box
and look like a drunk hobbit jack bag bitch. Cole says that he doesn’t even know
what that means, but Michael Cole is not scared of anything. He isn’t the same
kid that used to get t-shirts thrown on his head each week and humiliated by
Rock. Now, he is a winner. He tells The Rock he has something to show him. Cole
takes off his suit jacket to reveal a Garnett Boston Celtics Jersey! Cole asks
what is the matter Miami? Are they jealous because the Celtics have more World
Championships than anybody in history? Cole says that if Rock wants him to come
into the ring, then he will. Cole exits his cave and gets into the ring. Cole
says that the RAW GM is demanding an apology from The Rock. If Rock does not
apologize, than the GM will shut down his entire birthday celebration. On top of
that, Cole would like The Rock to apologize for all of the humiliation that he
has put him through over the years. Rock says that Cole is right, he did
disrespect the GM at Wrestlemania, and he has disrespected Cole over the years.
So The Rock just has one thing to say to Cole, “I’m sorry”. He extends his hand
to shake with Cole. Cole backs off. Rock says that they are live in Miami, and
in front of the MILLIONSSSS of the Rock’s fans. He is apologizing like a man,
Cole can either accept or not. Cole hesitantly extends his hand, and says thank
you. Rock says you’re welcome, “now go eat shit”. He Rock Bottoms Cole, and then
sets up for the People’s Elbow! It connects! The crowd goes wild as we head to
our first commercial break –
No, The Rock cuts his music. He says that this is The Rock’s hometown, and the
biggest birthday celebration in the history . He welcomes out 305’s own Pitbull!
He wishes The Rock a Happy Birthday and then performs “Give Me Everything
(Tonight)” with the Miami Heat Cheerleaders!

Kelly Kelly v. Maryse
Kelly Kelly looks absolutely STUNNING tonight! I have missed her so much on this
show. Thank you Vince McMahon, you’re a true patriot. Welcome back to RAW!
The women begin to tango, but Kharma’s music hits. She begins her slow entrance
– and I guess the Diva’s are frozen in fear? Kharma picks up Maryse and hits the
Implant Buster! Kharma looks at Kelly Kelly, but then exits the ring instead.
Kelly Kelly is baffled and Kharma laughs herself up the ramp.
No Contest

personal contract with him, which trumps all.
