WHAT'S NEXT FOR KANE?

May 24, 2004

 

Last week's Monday Night RAW was a memorable one for Kane. The Big Red Monster defeated Val Venis in singles competition, won a Battle Royal to become the No. 1 Contender for the World Heavyweight Championship at Bad Blood and received an answer of "yes" from Lita to a question he posed several weeks ago. With Kane in top form after last week's success, what is next for him as he prepares for his match at Bad Blood? Also, will his question to Lita be revealed? Find out on RAW.

 

Speaking of the Battle Royal, Kane's victory was a result of the suspended Shawn Michaels gaining a measure of payback from Triple H. When the final two were Triple H and Kane, HBK appeared out of nowhere to eliminate The Game and give Kane a trip to Bad Blood. The Game was enraged as RAW came to an end, and it is expected that he will be in a bad way this coming week on RAW. What will his reaction be? Find out on RAW.

 

All of this and more as the road to Bad Blood continues on Monday Night RAW at 9/8 PM CT on Spike TV.

No matches announced? Thats the first in a while.

[haVoc 0]

No matches announced makes me nervous. But, Raw has been good so I'll trust them..... for now.

[Guest croweater]

You can pretty much pencil in Edge and Benoit vs. Evolution variation #x part 348

[The Mandarin 0]

Man, I really hope for Benoit/Edge vs. Orton/Flair tonight. Even Batista/Kane could be interesting.

[BHK 0]

Well, the Lita thing would have to be resolved tonight, and if not, soon. They can't have Kane in two feuds(hardy/benoit) at the same time.

 

Personally, I'd love a huge 10 man with Benjeman/Hardy/Benoit/Edge/HBK vs Evolution/Kane. I'd assume they'd want to promote that for a while, though.

[UseTheSledgehammerUh 0]

I hope Christian is alright to wrestle, or we get an update on him.

 

I DON'T WANT Jericho Vs. Tom Co. anywhere near the PPV.

 

Interesting to see the matches tonite, since they kinda blew their load the past couple weeks, I expect:

 

-Triple H rants on HBK. Bischoff/Nitro out. Blah blah. HHH gets HBK unsuspended. But...the match will be..."Hell in a Cell!"

 

-Kane does bad things to Matt & Lita. Benoit saves. (This would be very uncharacteristic for Benoit, however, to help Hardy/Lita when he already has 2 title belts to worry about...)

 

I'm thinking Benoit saves them...gets his ass kicked, resulting in him being in bad shape and Benoit/Edge dropping the tag titles?

 

Will Eugene wrestle? I hope not. I'd like to see him get another match, properly HYPED for next week, against someone decent.

 

I'd like an explanation for this "Sly" character (Sylvain Grenier), name change, whatever.

 

I'd like Garrison Cade to grow a bear/goatee and continue his slow evolution into Barry Windham. The tights, the boots, the hair (it's growing), the long-legged kicks.

 

I want a good Raw.

[Guest MikeSC]

I'd actually see Kane costing Benot & Edge the tag belts. I'd hope to Resistance --- but I'm doubting it.

They don't call him that on TV do they? I thought "Sly" was just a short nic name people on the 'net gave him?

[Dark Age 0]

Yeah it is. It's just that he was promoted as Sly for a house show coming up. They've been doing that for a while now, so I don't think there will be a name change.

 

Anyway, on the Jericho/Christian subject, I think focus is going to somehow shift to a Jericho, Hardy and Lita vs Trish, Christian and Tomko match for BB. Hardy and Christian was hinted at, Jericho and Christian have there thing going on, and the chicks have a feud going on. Just wondering why they didn't just save Jericho/Christian for BB.

[razazteca 0]

Sly Greener should be his new name, if you make him angry he will blow a spot.

[Guest Cheech]

Raw has been on a role lately, so I'm looking forward to it. My only request is that Benoit wrestles. And they should announce the Hell in a Cell match for Bad Blood.

[Guest Dynamite Kido]

[Guest Dazed]

They don't call him [sly] on TV do they? I thought "Sly" was just a short nic name people on the 'net gave him?

I think he was announced on a house show card, under that name.

[Guest Man Of 1,004 Modes]

Is that sub-title REALLY necessary?

 

<---Kane fan

 

And thanks for reminding me of that angle.

[Spaceman Spiff 0]

I'd kill for some Chuck Palumbo. They should have left him on SD, and made the FBI the top heel team on the show.

[ChrisMWaters 0]

Had a weird Raw related dream recently.

 

Kane came out to cut a promo for his new success he's had in the past few weeks...

 

...and Lita comes out with him, dressed like Kane did when Kane FIRST appeared in WWF (the bodysuit/mask combo thing)

 

...really weird.

[Guest Man Of 1,004 Modes]

...and Lita comes out with him, dressed like Kane did when Kane FIRST appeared in WWF (the bodysuit/mask combo thing)

Well that just upgraded Lita from God-awful ugly to not so ugly.

 

Still though, that's a weird dream.

[AlaskanHero 0]

I'll be happy if I get to see some good Eugene antics. That's all I ask for.

[ChrisMWaters 0]

Where is Raw suppossed to be tonight anyway?

 

I doubt it'll happen...but I'd love to see a Rock/Eugene vs. Cade/Coach match for some perverse reason.

[Guest TigerDriver91]

Where is Raw suppossed to be tonight anyway?

Rockford, Illinois, according to the events calendar at WWE.com

It isn't perverse to want to see Coach get bitchslapped by a retard.

 

However, to see Cade wrestle, yes.

So her face is covered, and I presume she doesn't talk?

 

All you need to do is make her not wrestle and we've got a winner.

[King Cucaracha 0]

Well, I suspect we may have Regal/'Gene vs Cade/Coach at Bad Blood...or at least something similar involving some of those four.

 

As for Rock/'Gene vs Cade/Coach...Rock's made his seasonal appearance. I wouldn't expect another anytime soon personally.

[Dark Age 0]

Regal/Eugene/Tajiri vs Cade/La Resistance, perhaps? It would lead to WACKY~ antics involving the team of Eugene and Tajiri. It could lead to a reconcile between Tajiri and Regal. It would let them put a bunch of directionless jobbers in a bit of an angle, and give La Resistance some much needed exposure with Coach by there side. Plus it would tie in Tajiri's feud with Coach. Sounds ok to me. Though I would rather have Tajiri and Hurricane vs Batista and Flair at BB, it ain't gonna happen.

 

I'd kill for some Chuck Palumbo. They should have left him on SD, and made the FBI the top heel team on the show.

 

Indeed. If they aren't gonna do anything with him on SD, then they should move Stamboli to Raw and make he and Palumbo the top face team. Just have F.B.I got into the bookie business on Raw, cheat some top heels out of some cash, and voila! They're babies. I once again ask why Palumbo and Train were moved to Raw when they HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING! Not even a Heat appearance. Meanwhile, SD!'s midcard is filled with the awesome credability of Jacqueline, Classic, Mordecai and the team of a gay guy and a guy REALLY lacking in charisma (Billy Gunn and Hardcore Holly). Why not just leave them on SD? It's better than what they've got at the moment.

[Spaceman Spiff 0]

Apparently, Palumbo had heat w/ members of the SD lockerroom. Nobody was named, but if I had to venture a guess, I'd say Taker (didn't do the "proper introduction"), Holly (WCW guy "taking his spot"), Bradshaw (see Holly), and maybe Gunn (see Holly & Bradshaw).

[JHawk 0]

If i read the updated preview correctly, it looks like Edge vs. Ric Flair and Eugene/William Regal vs. Garrison Cade/Jonathan Coachman tonight.

[King Cucaracha 0]

Interesting.

 

So, that'd probably be Cade or Coach v Eugene at Bad Blood.

[Exslade ZX 0]

It should be a pretty good RAW.

 

And you can expect to see a Coach alone segment tonight, just for them to see if the "Popcorn Fart" deal got over.

[Guest Quik]

Hey now, I don't mind the Lita bashing, but I think we should all keep in mind that if given the oppurtunity to throw it in her ass, by all means it should be done.

 

No face + Gratuitous Ass Shot = Good fuckin' time

YEah, but remember. She traveld with Matt AND Jeff Hardy. Who knows what STD's Jeff inserted in her anus.
