Tawren Posted April 20, 2004 Report Posted April 20, 2004 *SPOILERS INSIDE* I went to Raw...lots of fun. Results from dark/Heat matches, may be out of order: Chuck Palumbo beat jobber (Bobby Rude?). Very bad. Lance Storm beat Steven Richards. Huge reaction for both. Short match. Grand Master Sexay beat jobber. Rosey w/ Hurricane beat Sylvan Grenier. Bad match, huge pop for Hurricane. Shelton Benjamin beat Rhyno. Very bad match. Small reaction for both. Raw stuff: Jericho/Christian was great live, huge pop for both and great heat all the way through. Benoit interview was great, deafening reaction for Benoit. Small reaction for Edge. Crowd shit all over Cade/Tajiri. Cade is terrible and nobody was reacting. Here the Go Flames Go chant? Yeah. Huge pop for Hardy attacking Kane. I mean HUGE. Main event was pretty boring, but Benoit = double champ? Peter Marr: "Yeahhhhhh baby!" Post-show Benoit and Edge payed tribute to Stu and Owen Hart. HHH came out and said "I may have tapped out, but you all live in Canada!" and left. Funny line. Huge pops for Benoit the whole way through. Lots of fun. I doubt I got on TV, I was high up but perfectly parallel to the ring and front row of the Executive Club balcony. Not the best show I've been to, but the best Raw out of the 3 I've attended (5/28/01, 9/??/02). Biggest pops: Benoit Hardy attacking Kane Hurricane
Guest Choken One Posted April 20, 2004 Report Posted April 20, 2004 Benjamin's been sent to Heat? Benjamin=RVD 2004.
LaParkaYourCar Posted April 20, 2004 Report Posted April 20, 2004 Wait...you liked this better than the May 28, 2001 RAW? Wasn't that the night of the Benoit/Austin match that was really good?
Tawren Posted April 20, 2004 Author Report Posted April 20, 2004 Wait...you liked this better than the May 28, 2001 RAW? Wasn't that the night of the Benoit/Austin match that was really good? Yes. Maybe I'm just so happy that Benoit's a double champ and how much fun it was live...it's been awhile since I watched that Raw. Maybe even, maybe less? Way better than the 9/02 one, though.
JoeDirt Posted April 20, 2004 Report Posted April 20, 2004 They should have put Storm on RAW. Surprised Benjamin is on heat, too, and wasn't even mentioned the whole show.
LaParkaYourCar Posted April 20, 2004 Report Posted April 20, 2004 Now that I think about it the 5/28/01 RAW was when they once again did another recreation of the Montreal Screw Job right in front of the Hart Family.
deancoles Posted April 20, 2004 Report Posted April 20, 2004 Wasn't that the night where jericho showed footage of Vince mcMahon from the 1987 Slammy Awards?

LaParkaYourCar Posted April 20, 2004 Report Posted April 20, 2004 Steve Blackman and Trish Stratus defeated Perry Saturn and Terri... Lance Storm ran in in this match and kicked off the Invasion. Ironically when I first read that I thought you said "killed off the invasion"
ChrisMWaters Posted April 20, 2004 Report Posted April 20, 2004 They should have put Storm on RAW. Surprised Benjamin is on heat, too, and wasn't even mentioned the whole show. I think Benjamin WAS mentioned... Possibly during the main event...but I DO remember Shelton's name being mentioned.

humongous2002 Posted April 20, 2004 Report Posted April 20, 2004 Benjamin's been sent to Heat? Benjamin=RVD 2004. HHH thought that the new kid wasn't going to get as over as he is now, but i guess it's time for Shelton to "pay his dues".
Guest Goodear Posted April 20, 2004 Report Posted April 20, 2004 HHH thought that the new kid wasn't going to get as over as he is now, but i guess it's time for Shelton to "pay his dues". How odd... considering Triple H WAS THE ONE THAT PUT HIM OVER. But no, making sense is too much to ask.
Guest Nater Posted April 20, 2004 Report Posted April 20, 2004 I guess about a year tag-teaming on SD! wasnt good enough?
The Kid Posted April 20, 2004 Report Posted April 20, 2004 *Sigh* Now I'm wondering if I should do a more indepth live report...should I? Probably not.
