WWE RAW 6/19/07 Live Coverage
Welcome to the first post-Draft edition of RAW. It will be interesting to see how the new wrestlers on the roster make an impact and how the "Who Killed Vince?" storyline unfolds.
We get a video package of Vince's limo exploding and "eye witness" accounts.
Mick Foley is in the ring now and says that his comments last Monday were inappropriate and apologizes for them which gets boos from the fans then Orton interrupts him. He says that Mick's apology is insincere, that his latest book is a hack job at Vince and that Mick had motivation then King Booker comes out. JR finally welcomes us to RAW and Booker says to look at Lashley instead and gives some fairly good motivation for Lashley to do it which brings him out. Lashley shoves Booker down and he rolls out of the ring and the Champ is now here. He calls Booker and Orton Cojack and Ace Ventura and that this isn't Law and Order. He says to put all this in perspective and says that Vince has made plenty of enemies. Cena then asks for everybody to let the Federal investigator take this over and Coach comes out and reminds us that all these men are in the WWE Championship match on Vengance and that he is in temporary control. He then announces the Main Event for tonight is Lashley/Cena vs. Booker/Orton then has Mick go up against Umaga.
Commercial.
London/Kendrick vs. World's Greatest Tag Team. London and Haas start out with London getting a quick nearfall but Haas taking back control with help from Shelton who is now tagged in and gets a nearfall. King has pointed a finger at Paul London asking why he was smiling last week then Kendrick gets the tag, gets a pin but it's broken up by Shelton. London keeps Shelton outside as Kendrick gets the pin.
Backstage with Daniel Beck and Coach.
Commercial.
Carlito has now come out to the ring. He extends his deepest sympathies to the McMahon's and is glad that Torrie Wilson and Ric Flair are off RAW. He goes on about Flair then Sandman interrupts him and chases him out of the ring.
Commercial.
We now have a video from Cryme Tyme saying that Vince was a capitalist which brings us the Cryme Tyme Shopping Network of coffee, steak, trash can and much more to get McMahon DNA and Daniel Beck comes in to ask them a few questions.
Cade and Murdoch are now out as Daivari takes on Jeff Hardy. Jeff takes control early on but Daivari catches him on the top rope and gets a nearfall. Exchange of punches with Jeff taking control with a front suplex for 2 then Whisper in the Wind for another nearfall. Jeff hits a nice suplex and gets 2 the Daivari fights back and gets a nearfall. Jeff hits the Twist of Fate the the Swanton for the win. Cade grabs the ring announcers mic and says that he and Matt have shown them unsportsmanlike conduct and his reply was to fly right onto them.
Commercial.
Backstage with Coach flipping out. The Iron Sheik is in the house!!! Sheik says he wants his own talk show on RAW and Coach considers it. Simmons comes in and, of course, says "DAMN!"
It looks like we're going to have a Love Triangle storyline going on with Maria, Regal and Morella. That has the potential to be entertaining
Grisham is talking to Vince's limo driver. He says that he got a personal call and left the limo to take it.
Mick is shown walking down a hallway.
Commercial.
We get the same video from the start of the show. Guess it's for people who are just tuning in. I have a funny feeling this will be played on both ECW and Smackdown.
Mick Foley vs. Umaga. I can't decide whether this will be a squash match or not. Mick jumpstarts the match but the bell hasn't rung yet. They make their way to the annouce tables with Umaga's head bouncing off the announce table. Mick hots Umaga in the head with a chair and Umaga replies with a kick to the head then the butt bump by the steps and the ref has thrown this out. This wasn't even a match so my decision was made for me.
Beck is now talking to Cena then we cut to a white limo pulling up.
Commercial.
Mick is gettin checked over by a doctor then Beck tries to talk to him but the doctor tells him to come back.
Kennedy is now in the ring. He says he's sick to his stomach about losing Vince and getting drafted to RAW. He didn't get along with the Smackdown audience and hates the RAW crowd because they have no respect for talent. Says he was a good friend of Vince and the fans wish they were. Mr. Kennedy has joined the Vince McMahon Kiss My Ass Club and says he will dedicate his career to him.
The driver comes out of the limo and stands in front of the passenger side door.
Commercial.
They finally get a "In Memory of Sherri Martell" graphic up whic they usually put at the start of the show.
Melina/Jillian vs. Mickie/Candice. Jillian's voice is terrible and I'm glad Mickie came out to stop her. Jillian and Candice start with Candice getting a nearfall early on but Melina distracts her for Jillian to get control. Jillian gets a nearfall then tags in Melina who gets a nearfall then tags Jillian back in. Melina noe back in and gets a nearfall but Candice fights back and gets the hot tag to Mickie who stops a pinfall when Jillian comes in and hits a rana on her. Mickie hits a neckbreaker on Melina but Jillian breaks it up and they double team Mickie. Candice takes Jillian out, Mickie gets a nearfall and Melina answers back with a unique leg drop for the win.
Commercial.
We get yet another video, this time of Vince getting in his limo and it blowing up. They even put the initial explosion in slow motion then show the firemen putting it out. We cut back to the limo again with the driver still standing there.
Main Event time. Lashley and Booker start us out with Lashley taking control early on hitting a hard suplex for a nearfall but Booker thumbs Lashley in the eye but still can't get control. Cena tagged in and Booker runs over to tag Orton. Lashley now in and they double team both Orton and Booker as we go to commercial. Back with Orton in control thanks to some double teaming from Booker and Orton. Cena fights back but Booker and Orton keep him from tagging Lashley. Booker goes for a pin but Lashley breaks it up but Booker still working on Cena. Orton now tagged in and stomps Cena for a bit then gets a nearfall. Cena fights his way over to his corner but Orton cuts him off again with a headlock. Cena breaks the headlock and both men hit clotheslines and finally tags Lashley in and T-Bone suplexes Booker. Cena takes Orton out then Booker kicks Cena. Booker with the blind tag to Orton. Booker takes a spinebuster so Orton can RKO Lashley for the win.
We cut back to the limo as the driver opens the door and Stephanie McMahon comes out.
Commercial.
Backstage with Coach and Stephanie. Coach offers to escort Stephanie to the ring but she declines.
Stephanie has now come out to the ring. She announces next week as a 3-hour celebration and starts to break down. She says a few more things then leaves the ring crying to end the show.
