For 7 weeks, Randy Orton has been mocking Mick Foley, with the paid presentations and taking Mick's tag line (Hardcore Legend). But that would all change, as you will see if you keep reading this report. RAW started off with Y2J, being accompanied by his new theme song, from the WWE Originals CD, "Don't You Wish You Were Me?". As Chris Jericho proceeded to talk about the Royal Rumble, and how it came down to him and SMACKdown! superstar Chris Benoit, and how he was so close, but lost it. He said he was going to use his Survivor Series favor to get a title shot with Triple H, however Eric Bischoff came to the ring and booked a match with Trish Stratus vs. Kane. Jericho then said that he was going to use his Survivor Series favor to save Trish Stratus from the match with the Big Red Machine. Eric Bischoff then booked a match with Chris Jericho teaming up with Rob Van Dam to take on 3 members of Evolution. Randy Orton, Ric Flair, and Batista. Thats right, it was set to be a 3 on 2 Handicap Match. After the break, Jericho and Van Dam had little control over the match. After taking a powerful Spinebuster by Batista on the outside, Chris Jericho was sidelined for about 10 mins. After Jericho struggled to pull himself up to his tagline Rob Van Dam got pinned. So a victory for Evolution. After that break, Chris Jericho was in his locker room, and Trish walked in... she said that she was thankful for what Jericho had done for her, yet only wanted to be close friends. Christian then came in and told Jericho to take his head out of his ass, and to focus on matches. Next was a Tag Team Match. Victoria & Lita vs. Jazz & Molly. After Victoria and Lita pretty much controlled, they got the victory. Next, was a match following the actions of the following night at the Royal Rumble. When Kane chokeslammed Bubba's younger brother Spike on the steel ramp. So Bubba wanted to get revenge on Kane. Bubba was dealing an ass kicking on Kane, until Kane rolled out of the ring, picked up the steel steps and threw them into the ring. He then hit Bubba in the head, and got himself disqualified. D-Von came rushing out to the ring to stop Kane from any further attacks on Bubba, D-Von then got a Tombstone piledriver. The lights dimmed, and a blue light surrounded the inside of the ring, the titantron showed a movie of a graveyard, short clips of Kane burying Undertaker and some snakes. Kane left the ring puzzled. After the break, Triple H went to the ring, and sure enough out came Shawn Michaels. Then out came Austin. He called out the winner of the Royal Rumble, Chris Benoit!!! (A Smackdown superstar) After announcing that he wanted to face Triple H for his World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania XX, it went to Eric Bischoff talking on the phone with Paul Heyman, ( Smackdown GM). Heyman was through the roof, outraged if you will, about the fact that Benoit might jump ship to RAW. Paul Heyman then said that he would sue Eric's ass. After the break, it was Rico set to take on Rob Conway. After the sickening acts that Rico displayed, he then got more serious and started to actually wrestle Rob Conway. Things then didn't go so well for Rico, after a nipple slip accident, Miss Jackie distracted Rob Conway, by flashing him, Rico got a swift kick to Conway, which put him out. Rico picked up the win. After approching Bischoff's office, The Coach laughed at the fact that Bischoff and Heyman had a little scrap at the Royal Rumble. Bischoff didn't enjoy being humiliated like that, so he booked Johnathan Coachman a No-Disqualification match against none other than GOLDBERG!!! After recieving a spear, and a Jackhammer Coachman was out of it, and Goldberg got the pinfall.
After the last break of the show, Mick Foley came to the ring and ordered Randy Orton out. Randy proceeded to the ring. Once in the ring, Foley asked him to spit on his left cheek, then once on his right cheek. After Foley flipped out, or "found the deep dark spot" in his heart, he began punching his head, making it bleed. Then he hit Randy with the microphone and began attacking Orton. Batista and Flair were close behind though, as they rushed out to the ring, to prevent SOME damage. As Mick Foley attacked all 3 members, Batista hit him with a hard clothesline. Mick rolled out of the ring, and grabbed a steel chair, and hit Batista in the back. After about 2 mins of regrouping, Evolution fled up the ramp, to avoid Foley. The show ended with Foley stangind tall with a steel chair.
Not Bad for my first collumn eh?
