WWE RAW 2/19/07 Live Coverage

Hello and welcome to another exciting edition of RAW! I'm Jim Ross alongside...whoops! Sorry about that folks, channeled the spirit of Good Ole JR for a sec there but I'm back. Be forewarned, the words "Holy Crap!" might creep into this because I will purposely channel the spirit of the late, great Frank Barone.



Video of Trump/McMahon from last week starts us out.

Vince has come out to the ring which has a barber chair and a barber's pole. Talks about his match at WM23. Shows a picture of Britney Spears with her head shaved on the Titan Tron then a picture of Trump is up and they do some hair styles on him. Vince's representative is Umaga. That's a better choice than Great Khali since Umaga is actually very good. He the announces that Umaga is taking on Jeff Hardy for the IC Title right now.

Commercial break.

Hardy using his speed to start out. Tries to hit Umaga by running on the security rail but gets caught. Back in the ring with Umaga in control. Hardy tries to come back but to no avail. It's nice to see that not only did WWE sign Jeff again but they also pushed him enough to get the IC Title. Umaga tried to splash Jeff from the 2nd rope but Jeff moves. Whisper in the Wind but Umaga powers out then gives him a samoan drop. Jeff now sitting in the turnbuckle and gets squashed. Samoan Spike gains Umaga the Intercontinental Championship. This is how you book a wrestler who is supposed to be an unstoppable monster.

Commercial break.

Video of Mick Foley plugging his new book "The Hardcore Diaries"

Ric Flair and Carlito are taking on Cade and Murdoch with Flair and Cade starting out. Tag to Carlito who is now getting beat down by Cade and Murdoch. Murdoch tries for a 2nd rope elbow but Carlito blocks it and tags in Flair who opens up on Cade and Murdoch. Tries for the Figure Four but Cade breaks it up but gets a punch to the gut for his trouble. Low Blow to Murdoch by Flair who tags in Carlito who hits the backcracker for the win.

Commercial break.

Backstage with Cena and HBK. Cena says the reason they won is because they know where they stand. HBK and Cena plug their DVDs in what is the most hilarious segment of the night.

Backstage with Edge and Orton. Edge talks about his match next.

Commercial break.

Money in the Bank Qualifying match now up. Edge trying for a quick pin but only gets 1. RVD with an excellent monkey flip and Edge rolls to the outside.

Commercial break.

RVD still in control and gets 2. RVD with a Spinning leg drop on Edge onto the security railing but gets caught coming back in. Edge gets 2. RVD with a kick ti the head of Edge to break a headlock. Awesome kick to the head of Edge in the corner and he gets clocked again coming off the ropes but Edge counters the rolling thunder for 2. Edge and RVD now on the top turnbuckle and Edge gets stradled on the ropes then kicked again. Good lord Edge's head is taking a lot of damage but he's still coming. RVD tries for another high risk move but Edge dropkicks him and gets 2. RVD counters the spear and hits a split legged moonsault for 2. Another kick to the head of Edge. RVD now on the top rope for the Frg Splash but Orton interferes which allows Edge to get the spear to qualify. Awesome match!!!

Commercial break.

Mickie James and Melina are now on. This is the 2nd time Melina has had a shot at the title which shows you how messed up the Women's Division is now. Mickie going to the well once too often and Melina takes control. Melina with a nearfall. Melina gets that interesting submission on Mickie then what I believe is called a "Curb stop". Mickie fighting back now and gets a nice Thesz press. Mickie tries for a Hurracanrana but Melina holds onto the ropes then rolls her up for the win.

Commercial break.

Backstage with Mickie. Todd tries to talk to her but gets slapped hard in the face for his trouble.

The Highlanders are in a Handicap match with The Great Khali. Big headbutts from Khali. King: "If you can't beat them, run!" Khali of course is the winner via squash.

Commercial break.

Backstage with Coach and Kenny. Khali shows up and Kenny bolts. Khali says he wants better competition. Simmon's comes in and says "DAMN"

Video package of Ashley from Smackdown and No Way Out. I got 2 words for seeing video of Ashley from NWO...Holy Crap!

Backstage with Melina who runs down Ashley.

The 2nd Inductee for the 2007 Hall of Fame is Mr. Perfect!!! Awesome video.

Commercial break.

Cena and Orton is now up. Fisherman Suplex from Cena gets 2. Armdrag and elbow gets another 2. Cena charges into the corner but Orton moves then clotheslines Cena for 2. Bulldog on Orton who rolls outside but Cena comes out, throws him back in and both men go for a clothesline. Orton now has a steel chair.

Commercial break.

Orton now with a headlock on Cena. Cena tries to fight back but Orton stops it. Orton with an innovative DDT for 2. Fyling kneedrop gets Orton another nearfall. Orton now coming back with a 5 Knuckle Shuffle but Orton rakes Cena's eyes to counter the FU then dropkicks him. Orton goes up top and tries for a cross body block but his momentum takes him over and Cena gets 2. Orton ready for the RKO but gets blocked by Cena who tries to go for the FU again but Edge spears him for the DQ. Edge and Orton now try to hit a conchairto but HBK makes the save, clobbers Edge and Orton but doesn't hit Cena with it as we end the show.
