WWE RAW October 20, 2008 Corpus Christi, TX Commentators: Michael Cole & Jerry 'The King' Lawler Candice Michelle & Kelly Kelly v. Jillian Hall & Katie Lea Burchill Jillian sang a bit but got cut off by Kelly and Candice who weren’t feeling the melodies. Kelly took Jillian down with a hip toss and tagged Candice with a cool double team elbow drop for a quick one count. Jillian reversed a whip attempt only for Candice to snap mare her off the top rope. Candice went for her suspended head scissors before Katie Lea showed up and punted her in the face sending her crashing to the floor. Katie Lea tagged in and slapped on a mean looking abdominal stretch. Katie hit a nasty side back breaker for a two count before tagging in Jillian. Jillian came into the ring and hit her hand spring elbow for a two count. She whipped Candice, who threw on the breaks, knocked Katie Lea off the ropes and caught Jillian with a head scissors. She hot tagged Kelly who hit a head scissors of her own and a cross body for a two count. Candice cleaned out the oncoming Katie Lea allowing Kelly to connect with something looking like fam-asser for the three count. Winners: Kelly & Candice via pin fall Michael Cole and Jerry Lawler introduced a clip that put over the happenings in the Chris Jericho-Batista issue last week. ****Commercial**** The World Heavyweight Champion Chris Jericho’s music hit and he came down to the ring. He left the ring and demanded he be introduced as such. He said this was what he was talking about. Lack of respect. He said he was Chris Jericho and the World Champion. He said the disrespect didn’t end with Lillian, it spread like a virus to all the fans and the wrestlers in the back that he led as champion. He said everyone thinks he’s going to lose his title. He said the list of officials for his match is ridiculous. Randy Orton, HBK and Steve Austin, in his mind, were all jokes. But he wasn’t. He was the man who beat the Rock and Steve Austin in the same night. He beat four other superstars to win this title and destroyed HBK in his own match. He said when he dominated Batista at Cyber Sunday, they’d be forced to respect him. Batista’s music hit and he came trotting out to the ring. He asked Jericho if he was serious to be out here demanding respect. Batista said you don’t demand respect, you earn it. He said if Jericho beat him at Cyber Sunday (as he laughed) he believed he’d earn a lot of people’s respect. Until then though, he requested that he just shut his mouth because if he didn’t, he’d shut it for him. The Raw music hit and GM Mike Adamle came out to the ramp. He said they could save it for Cyber Sunday. He said speaking of respect, they’d have to earn it tonight each themselves. They’d have to prove themselves against the same three opponents in a gauntlet match. Jericho slapped Batista just because and walked off. ****Commercial**** JBL came out and started rambling about how it was an injustice to have him compete against some sort of has-been impersonator. He said in uncertain times, he was the only certain thing. The rich become richer and the poor, that would mean us, become poorer. Suddenly, the glass broke and out comes Stone Cold Steve HAAStin. Good lord. Charlie Haas v. JBL Haas hit a Lou Thesz press and a stunner thing before punching like Austin and beating JBL down into the corner. He ducked under a clothesline from hell and then got killed with a big boot. One big clothesline from hell later, this is over. Winner: JBL via pin fall JBL said that was the bottom line because he said so. ****Commercial**** Rey Mysterio v. Snitsky Snitsky immediately gained the advantage with a big boot and a series of elbow drops. He bullied Mysterio to the corner and booted away at his midsection. Snitsky flung Rey to the corner with a whip and went to follow up with a big boot but Rey wiggled out of the way. A springboard senton and a drop kick to the face floored Snitsky before he hit the head scissors and 619 before hitting a springboard splash for the victory. Winner: Rey Mysterio via pin fall ****Commercial**** Morrison and Miz are talking about their rights to vote. The Highlights of the nights. More fabulous than the freebirds. They’re not D-Generation… err Geriatric-X.. ARE YOU FIFTY? Kofi Kingston & CM Punk v. John Morrison & The Miz Punk grabbed a go behind which Morrison fought out of to get to his partner. Punk and Kingston double teamed the Miz who kicked out at two. Kofi wrapped Miz up in an arm wringer for a little while before uncorking a SUPER drop kick. Kofi hit some strikes and then tagged in Punk who booted Miz in the stomach before hitting some kicks to the mid-section. All hell broke loose and eventually, we ended up with Punk and Kingston dumping Morrison into Miz’s body on the outside of the ring. Kingston went for a quick cover only for Miz to kick out. Punk tagged in and the two hit a nifty double team for a two count. Pretty soon though, Miz got a thumb to the eye and some forearms to the face. He rather stupidly whipped Punk to his own corner where Kofi improvised a few shoulder blocks in the corner before missing a follow up. Kofi landed on the second rope but Morrison was able to boot him off the second rope for a newfound advantage. Morrison tagged in and hit a northern lights suplex for a two count before slapping on the dreaded rear chin lock of doom as we headed to commercial. ****Commercial**** We came back to Morrison and Kofi out on the mat. Miz got a tag and cut Kofi off from his corner, before slapping on another rear chin lock. Miz tagged his partner and they hit their sling shot combo but couldn’t get a cover thanks large in part to CM Punk, who broke up the love fest in the corner. Kofi tried to fight out of a key lock and eventually succeeded and was fortunate to get a boot to Morrison’s grill and make leaping tag to the former world champion CM Punk in the corner. Punk hit a super running knee-bulldog combo out of the corner before hitting a running power slam for a two count. It got a little chaotic as Kofi and Miz dispatched of each other. Miz struggled back to the apron and was able to tag Morrison’s back while he was in a go to sleep predicament. Once Punk hit the move, Miz sneaked up from behind and got the roll up for the pin fall. Winners: The Miz & John Morrison via pin fall Chris Jericho is talking with Mike Adamle talking about his respect. Mike said Jericho didn’t get it, that he was trying to give him the chance to earn that. The respect of the wrestlers, the fans and most of all, respect for himself. ****Commercial**** Santino Marella is out and he’s got Goldust face pain, Rodney the Piper outfit and Honky hair. He said the career of Goldust has ‘flamed out’. He made fun of Honky Tonk Man calling him a cheap impersonator, a guy who impersonated a guy who died on a toilet. Hacksaw Jim Duggan doesn’t like all this and it’s time to stick up for old dudes everywhere. They went back and forth and Hacksaw told him confused and called Beth ‘tough guy’. The fun didn’t last long before Santino clubbed him with a guitar Honky Tonk Man style. His face is pretty busted up… ****Commercial**** Priceless v. Cryme Tyme Priceless went directly at Cryme Tyme and this isn’t much of a match up. Uh, no match I guess. ****Commercial**** Cole and Lawler ran down the Cyber Sunday Card before Jericho made his way out to the ring for his match. ****Commercial**** Gauntlet Match Batista & Chris Jericho v. William Regal, Mark Henry & Kane Batista made quick work of Regal with a spine buster and a Batista bomb. Like just like that. Now I guess Jericho’s supposed to face him? The crowd is TOTALLY lost here. So am I. Jericho hit’s a code breaker and that’s that. Mark Henry’s the next guy and he tosses Jericho to the corner after a weak Walls of Jericho attempt. Henry hit a big avalanche before going for the big splash. Jericho rolled out of the way and hit a lion sault for a two count. What the crap is going on. Jericho’s DQ’d because he hit the guy with a belt shot… I’m totally confused. Henry wins I guess and now Batista hits him with a move and that’s that. Is there even a scoring system here? ****Commercial**** We’re back and still totally lost. Not as lost as Chris Jericho, who just ate a huge DDT. Kane’s pretty relentless and hammering away on him in the corner. Kane totally decked Jericho whose still going after Kane’s leg I guess… Kane reverses a walls of Jericho attempt and is basically flinging Jericho off at all points. Jericho knocked Kane onto the top rope and tried a super plex, but Kane ain’t going anywhere. After some punches to the stomach, Jericho sails back down to the mat and quickly eats a flying lariat to the face for a SUPER close two count. Kane’s loading up the choke slam but Jericho fights out. Jericho botches the bump to the outside and now Batista’s chasing him to the ring. Kane went for suplex but Jericho wiggled out and went into the ropes. He came bounding off only to eat a HUGE Kane big boot and that’s all she wrote for Jericho. Batista came in, hit one spear and won his match. WTF just happened.
