WWE RAW RESULTS
JUNE 19, 2006
ROCHESTER, N.Y.
-The show opened with Vince McMahon standing backstage in front of his cover shot from Muscle & Fitness. He recounted the Triple H happenings the past two weeks. He said thanks to Shawn Michaels, his plans didn’t play out as he had hoped. He said there is supposed to be some sort of DX reunion tonight. He said instead there would be a destruction of DX. He said actions speak louder than words. A worker brought McMahon a live chicken. Vince said, “It’s a chicken.” The worker said, “It’s not a chicken. It’s a cock. And apparently you love cocks.” Vince said tonight he wasn’t in the mood, so go choke the chicken somewhere else. An alient figure followed and imitated McMahon as he walked backstage. Vince stared at him. The alien dropped his head and walked away. Two chippendale like dancers walked up to Vince. One of them said, “We’re ready.” Vince said, “Ready for what?” They said, “Ready to blow your mind.” A fat one wearing almost nothing danced for Vince. Dusty Rhodes approached Vince backstage and asked him what was going on. Dusty said there’s only one thing for him to do. When Vince said, “Destroy DX,” Dusty plugged his DVD instead. He then asked “one of those strippers” if they wanted to buy one. A delivery person asked McMahon to sign for a box. It was already opened, unsealed. The delivery man opened it up and presented him with “your imported penis enlarger pump.” The crowd laughed and clapped. Vince said, “I’m going to destroy DX!” He knocked the box out of the guy’s hands.
-They went live to Jerry Lawler and Jim Ross. Lawler was laughing.
-Vince walked right to the ring. Vince said DX may have had some fun, the last laugh would be on them. He said he had two words for DX: “Living hell.” The crowd chanted “asshole, asshole” at him. He vowed to “firmly plant” the toe of his size 12 shoe “right between Triple H’s butt cheeks.” He said he would take the heel of the same shoe and knock Shawn Michaels’s teeth right down his throat. He said he had a plan for DX, a “big-time plan.” Shane McMahon then walked toward the ring. Vince looked like he wasn’t expecting him. Shane told Vince, “Stephanie’s in labor. I have the car waiting. Let’s go.” That was all said off-mic, but they kept the mic close enough to barely pick up Shane’s comments. Vince seemed upset about having to leave the ring. Lawler pointed out that Vince said no at first. Shane talked him into it.
-Coach approached Shane and Vince. He asked if everything was okay. An agitated Vince told Coach he is in control. “Stephanie has always had the worst timing, and now she’s in labor, that bitch. Dammit to hell!” he said as he got into the limo. Oh good. If it is ever revealed or acknowledged that Triple H is the father of Stephanie’s baby, he’ll look like a real ass for not being there with her at the hospital.

-A video feature aired on Torrie Wilson‘s photo shoot for the new WWE Magazine. (Raw Magazine and Smackdown Magazine have been merged into WWE Magazine.) It showed Torrie posing for photos with a backyard BBQ theme, squiring mustard on a hot dog.
1 — TORRIE WILSON & MARIA vs. CANDICE MICHELLE & MICKEY JAMES — Bra and Panties Tag Match
Ross: “I think Candice Michelle would make Clay Aiken go straight.” Torrie ripped off Candice’s top in the opening minutes. Mickey yanked off Torrie’s shorts. Lawler said, “Panties aren’t the best thing on earth, but they are close to it.” Mick then stripped Torrie and Maria of their tops leading to a quick win. After the match, Mickey clotheslined Candice and yanked her shorts off. Mickey then took Jim Ross’s hat and wore it. Then she ripped the shirt off of “a fan at ringside.”
WINNERS: Micky & Candice in 2:00.
-Lawler plugged that Ross’s interview with Kane was up next, plus Ric Flair vs. Edge was scheduled.
[Commercial Break]
2 — VISCERA vs. CHARLIE HAAS
Lawler said, “His Levis aren’t 501s, they’re 747s.” Viscera said he was giving Haas one final chance to apologize to Haas, “and this week you better mean it!” he said. Haas said Lilian already accepted his apology. He said last week he and Lilian went to dinner. Viscera looked like his heart was crushed. Haas said after dinner, she accepted his apology after pillow talk. Lilian reacted as if that weren’t true, or she was shocked he would say it pubilicly. Viscera went after Haas hard. Ross noted that today would have been Andre the Giant’s 60th birthday. Haas fought back briefly, but Viscera used a sidewalk slam to slow Haas. Viscera splashed Haas in the corner. Spirit Squad then attacked both Viscera and Haas. Spirit Squad teamed up to lift and slam Viscera. Ross said the whole building shook.
WINNER: No contest in 3:00.
-The crowd chanted “DX, DX.” Kenny called for DX to come to the ring so they could solve their differences now rather than at Vengeance. They showed Triple H and Shawn Michaels standing backstage. Michaels mockingly cried that they were outnumbered. Hunter told Shawn to calm down. Hunter said, “They’re just cheerleaders.” The crowd laughed. Michaels shrugged. Hunter said if they think for one second they’re going to the ring because they called for them, they don’t know them well. They said they’d be heading to the ring later, but on their terms. He said they would reunite and reignite Degeneration X. Hunter said they have two words for them. The crowd shouted, “Suck it!” Hunter said, “No. Actually, the words are look up.” Spirit Squad looked up and were then drenched in green slime. They slipped around in it for a few seconds. Then Hunter and Michaels spraypainted “DX” on a piece of glass in front of the camera.
-A commercial aired for ECW on SciFi.
[Commercial Break]
-A commercial aired for the “World’s Greatest Wrestling Managers” DVD.
-They replayed the green slime incident. They showed a wide angle shot of the slime coming down from the rafters.
-Spirit Squad told Coach they look ridiculous and wanted revenge. Coach said Mr. McMahon had a plan and he will see it through. Coach turned and saw Paul Heyman sitting on a couch in Mr. McMahon’s office. Heyman said he had a busload of his ECW rebels ready to invade Raw. Coach asked what he wanted. Heyman said he wanted to negotiate. Heyman said the no. 1 show on all of cable last Tuesday was ECW on SciFi. Heyman said he wanted to give Raw a rub, so he suggested Randy Orton & Edge should face Kurt Angle & Rob Van Dam in the main event. Coach said he had a lot to do, so if it got him out of his hair, he’d agree to it. Like Columbo, Heyman wasn’t quite done yet. He said last week on Raw, John Cena took a chair to the head of Balls Mahoney. He said Balls was in the ECW bus outside. He said Balls didn’t deserve it, but it was a typical action from a thug like Cena. He said he wanted to see Cena vs. Balls one-on-one later tonight. Coach agreed.
-They showed workers trying to clean up the green sline in the ring and at ringside. It was quite an undertaking. Lawler told Ross his suit was ruined. Ross still wanted to know where his hat was.
-They went to Kane backstage, as Ross asked him questions from afar. Ross asked if he knew who the imposter Kane is. Kane said he knows who it is and why he’s doing what he’s doing. Kane said there was a guy in his childhood who was even more screwed up than he was. “I even felt he was demented,” Kane said. Ross asked if he was scared of him. Kane looked scared as he said the things he did were too gruesome to detail. “You have no idea,” he said.
[Commercial Break]
-Clips aired of Umaga beating up Hacksaw Duggan last week with Eugene crying at ringside.
3 — UMAGA (w/AAE) vs. MICK CHESTNE (sp?)
Ross said Eugene will face Umaga one-on-one at Vengeance on Sunday. Umaga charged and crushed the jobber’s head in the corner with a butt splash. Ross said nobody has challenged Umaga yet. Umaga won quickly after a Samoan spike. Ross wondered what Umaga would do to Eugene at Vengeance.
WINNER: Umaga in 1:00.
-Ross and Lawler plugged the DX reunion, Edge vs. Ric Flair, and John Cena vs. Balls coming up later.
[Commercial Break]
-A clip aired from last week’s ECW TV show primarily featuring Cena.
4 — JOHN CENA vs. BALLS MAHONEY
Balls carried a chair to the ring with the words painted on it, “Cena must pay.” Although he got cheered during ring intros, a “Cena sucks” chant broke out. That was drowned out by a “Cena, Cena” chant. As Cena went into his finishing sequence. Heyman slid a chair to Balls. Cena used a drop toe hold to send Balls face-first into the chair, then applied the STF for the win. Cena turned to Heyman, who begged off. Sabu attacked Cena with a chair, then rammed his head into the announcers’ table. Sabu KO’d Cena with a monitor. He followed with a springbaord legdrop from the top rope onto the back of Cena, dropping him through the table. An “ECW, ECW” chant broke out as Ross screamed, “Jesus Christ almightly!” They showed Cena out cold on the floor with blood streaming from above his right eye. They stuck with the ringside scene for an extra minute, showing Cena finally getting to his feet.
WINNER: Cena in 4:00.
[Commercial Break]
5 — RANDY ORTON vs. SNITSKY
Orton applied a chinlock early. It’s not an Orton match without one of those. He finds room for it in even the shortest of matches. After a series of reversals and sidesteps between Orton and Snitsky, Orton finished Snitsky with an RKO.
WINNER: Orton in 3:00.
-Lawler interviewed Orton at ringside, asking him about having to return to ECW tomorrow in a tag match. Orton said as far as going into an ECW ring with ECW rules, he said he’s not excited, but he is tougher than Cena, so he’s not concerned. He said Angle would find out either on ECW or on Sunday that “Vengeance is mine.”
[Commercial Break]
-The WWE 24/7 segment showed a clip from June 21, 1981 of Dusty Rhodes vs. Harley Race at the Atlanta Omni.
-Back live, Ross and Lawler were still sitting in front of a crushed announcers’ table. Ross acknowledged the last clip featured “the late, great Gordon Solie on commentary.”
-Carlito, from mid-ring, said he was backstage minding his own business as always, but Coach must have heard him laugh at the DX antics, so he made his match a handicapped match. Carlito said Coach is not cool, but Carlito becoming IC Champion this Sunday at Vengeance, “That’s cool.”
6 — NITRO (w/Melina) & SHELTON BENJAMIN vs. CARLITO
During Melina’s ring entrance, Ross told Lawler he spilled the Cialis blue pills all over the desk. Nitro got tossed around by Carlito in the opening minute. When Nitro reached to tag in Shelton, Shelton chewed him out and said he sucked. Nitro tagged himself back in at 2:00. Shelton got in Nitro’s face. They argued, then exchanged blows. Nitro clotheslined Shelton over the top rope. Carlito rolled up Nitro. Nitro rolled through, yanked on Carlito’s tights, and scored a three count. Nitro and Melina signaled they wanted the IC belt. Shelton and Carlito brawled afterward. Carlito gave Shelton the back cracker.
WINNER: Nitro & Shelton in 3:00.
[Commercial Break]
-Coach discovered that Vince’s office had been defaced by black and green spray paint stating, “DX” and “Are Your Ready?” and “Suck it!” The Vince mag cover had also been spray painted. Shawn and Hunter walked in and pretended they hadn’t seen it yet. They gave Coach a hard time and said since he was in charge, he’d be in trouble. Coach said the plan for them was first class accommodations for their reunion. Shawn and Hunter offered to watch the rest of the show with Coach. They sat him down with them on the couch.
-Maria interviewed Eugene. Eugene said he almost didn’t recognize her because he saw her in her bra and panties earlier. “You’re pretty,” he said. Maria asked for an update on Duggan. Eugene said he’s resting at home. He said this Sunday at Vengeance, he knows Umaga is big and strong, but he’s going to get revenge for Hacksaw. Rob Conway walked in and mocked Eugene. “Way to look out for your friend last week,” he said. Eugene exploded on Conway with a barrage of punches, then looked shocked at his own outburst, and then ran off.
-Ross thanked the fans for making Raw the no. 1 show on all of cable television again last week. With some new hit series like “Saved” and “The Closer” on TNT, that may not happen as often as it has in the past. Ross and Lawler then overviewed the Vengeance line-up.
-They went backstage to Coach, Hunter, and Michaels. Michaels asked Coach if he was going to buy the PPV over and over in intentionally obnoxious fashion. Coach said he had enough. He said if they had plans to mess around later, they have no idea what they’re in for. Coach said messing with him is like messing with Mr. McMahon. Hunter said when he puts it like that, it’s pretty clear they ought to not cause problems. Coach said he appreciates them understanding. Then their friendly handshake turned into Coach being thrown head-first through the wall. They pulled of Coach’s pants, revealing a thong. Then they spray painted his ass cheeks with “DX.”
[Commercial Break]
-A segment aired with The Highlanders. They said they’ve travelled from Scotland to a motor lodge in the U.S. They couldn’t figure out how to use the key card. Robbie checked down the door, then complained their was no football on TV. They discovered “Adult Titles.” They said they’re adults, so check it out. The porn music came on and they tilted their heads and said, “I love America.”
6 — RIC FLAIR vs. EDGE
Mick Foley joined Ross and Lawler at ringside. Foley vowed that he was going to embarrass Flair and “stink up the place” to humiliate Flair in his home state. Lawler and Ross asked if he was going to have an intentionally bad match. Foley said yes. He said he can steal any PPV event he wants, but he’s choosing not to at Vengeance. He said the line-up is otherwise loaded. He said he takes as much pride in his performances as Flair does. He said Flair doesn’t understand his style. He added: “He’s going to get what he deserves. A fiasco. A debacle.” Edge missed a shoulder charge in the corner when Flair moved. When Ross said McMahon won’t be happy with him putting on a stinkaroo, Foley said, “I quite frankly don’t really give a damn about Mr. McMahon.” Flair gave Edge a low-blow and schoolboyed him for a near fall at 2:00. Flair armdragged Lita into the ring. Flair then chopped Edge. As the ref was distracted by Lita, Foley briefly applied the Mandible Claw on Flair. Edge then hit Flair with a Spear for the win. RVD then hit Edge with a top rope dropkick. He followed with a Five-Star Frogsplash. RVD then retreated through the crowd.
WINNER: Edge in 3:00.
-Spirit Squad tried to talk the rest of the Raw locker room into helping them destroy DX’s reunion before DX embarrasses them.
[Commercial Break]
-The lights in the arena went down and green spotlights shined down. The DX music then began. Ross said this was the original DX reunion. How many viewers out there were expecting X-Pac, Chyna, and the New Age Outlaws to show up, too? What kind of reunion includes only two out of six members? Hunter asked the crowd, “Are you ready?!” They cheered. Hunter then did Road Dogg’s intro, “For the thousands in attendance and the millions at home, let’s get ready to suck it!” Hunter put his arm over Michaels’s shoulder. Michaels said, “There’s more. Of course, if you’re not down with that, we only got two words for ya’.” The crowd shouted, “Suck it!” Hutner said DX is back, “bigger and badder than ever, the originals right here tonight.”
Michaels said he is guilt-ridden and has to ask the Lord for forgiveness. He said at this very minute Vince and Shane are nervously biting their finger nails over Stephanie’s labor pains. Hunter pointed at Shawn and said, “Liar!” Michaels said Steph is just fine. Michaels asked aloud, “Who do you think got her pregnant.” Hunter said, “I don’t know, but that guy’s got to be a huge stud, hung down to here.” Michaels interrupted and said he wanted to segue into a shameless PPV plug. When Michaels began to talk about facing Spirit Squad at Vengeance, the Spirit Squad music began. Out came five midgets dressed as Spirit Squad. Ross said, “Someone put Spirit Squad in the dryer.” Hunter and Michaels easily shoved them aside. Michaels even superkicked one of them. Nash and Hunter and Michaels must have had a conference call a few weeks back when planning their segments over the past week.
Hunter said he’s been thinking about cheerleaders lately. Michaels put on a blindfold. Out came a female Spirit Squad. Only four of them, though. The female Spirit Squad did a cheer, and then took off their tops revealing black bras with green “DX” spray painted on them. “You guys are the breast cheerleaders ever,” said Hunter. Hunter told them to feel free to take off their tops. He said he had a cheer for them. Out walked the actual Spirit Squad along with about eight other Raw wrestlers. When Spirit Squad got to the ring, they discovered their back-up troops had abandoned them. Hunter and Michaels gave a Pedigree and Sweet Chin Music to two of them. The other three yanked them to ringside safety. Hunter said, “In case you girls have forgotten, we are Degeneration X and at Vengeance, you are going to get your asses handed to you DX style.” The midget Spirit Squaders then turned around, bent over, and mooned them. They had “Suck It” spelled on their ass cheeks. Ross said DX would be a lot more serious on Sunday night. The midgets mooned them again. What did normal people tuning in for Law & Order think? I have friends who watch Law & Orton and the only part of pro wrestling they ever see is that last minute. I’m not sure how to explain that to them.
