WWE RAW QUICK RECAP

FOR MONDAY SEPTEMBER 26

We started the show off backstage in General Manager Bischoff's office. He has Carlito and the Masterpiece in his office with him. Bischoff hypes up homecoming, announcing appearances from Hulk Hogan, Steve Austin, Mick Foley, The Rock, Dusty Rhodes, Hacksaw Jim Duggan, Jimmy Snuka, and many more for Homecoming. And then he says that he'll be sorry to over shadow that with him winning the World Heavyweight Title from John Cena. Then he says that just to make sure everything goes according to plan next week, the last main event on Spike TV will be John Cena taking on both Chris Masters and Carlito.

Then we saw the Big Show backstage on his way to the ring when he ran into Maria. Maria thanked the Big Show for standing up for her honor in regards to Gene Snitsky. Then she tells Big Show to kick some Snitsky booty for her tonight. Then we had Big Show vs Gene Snitsky. Show walloped Snitsky for nearly the entire match until Snitsky seemed to have had enough. He ducked out of the ring and ran off to the backstage area.

But that wasn't all for Snitsky tonight. While he was on his way to his car, he passed by Maria who was standing there laughing at him. Snitsky started to walk past her, but then turned back around and grabbed her. Snitsky lofted her up on his shoulder and took her to his car. He chucked her in the passenger seat and then drove off, just as a running Big Show made it out to the parking lot.

We then went back to the ring for a number one contenders match between The Heart Throbs and The Justice League. This was a decent back and forth matchup until Kurt Angle came out and tossed all four men around the ring like they were rag dolls. This of course ended the match in a no contest, with all four men looking pretty beat up.

Backstage Cade & Murdoch were standing in their locker room watching on a monitor. They laughed and asked if this was really the best competition the WWE can offer? Cade then said how he's sick of not having any competition, and that he went out and hand picked three teams that are familiar with Raw on the USA Network. He announced that Cade & Murdoch will run the tag team gauntlet next week on Homecoming.

A pissed off Kurt Angle was still walking around backstage, when he bumped into Shelton Benjamin. Angle told Shelton Benjamin to watch where he's going. Shelton Benjamin tells Angle that he needs to watch where he's going, and to stay the hell out of his matches. Angle says how he doesn't give a damn about Shelton or Shelton's matches and that last week he was just out there to prove the point that he deserves the title shot against John Cena. Shelton tells him that he doesn't care about Kurt's agenda, and that the next time Kurt wants to prove something in one of Shelton's matches, it better be that Kurt can beat Shelton. Kurt then issues a challenge to Shelton Benjamin at Homecoming next week, which Shelton accepts.

Shawn Michaels walks into Eric Bischoff's office, and asks Bisch why he needed to see him. Bisch says that there's no way we can have a Homecoming to the USA Network without the Showstopper. HBK agrees and asks who his opponent is. Bischoff won't tell him, but says that it's someone who is finally coming home to USA, and to the WWE.

Ric Flair beat Kerwin White to retain his Intercontinental Title.

We were backstage again. This time Candice Michelle was on the floor while Trish and Ashley were going at it with Torrie and Victoria. They were all pulling each others hair while the referees pulled them apart. Eventually Ashley and Trish issued a challenge to Torrie, Victoria and Candice for next week in a 3 on 2 Bra and Panties Match. But, Trish and Ashley said that there was one condition to it. If Trish and Ashley won, then this whole 'initiation process' had to stop. Victoria and Torrie countered that with saying that if them three won, they would finally be able to finish initiating Ashley.

Then we see a Tyson Tomko hype video, which is basically just a montage of him booting the shit out of a bunch of people. Then at the end there's a message. Got a Problem? A telephone number flashes on the screen. Then the message Call The Problem Solver, Tyson Tomko! The video ended with Tyson Tomko flashing a cheap smile and giving the thumbs up.

The main event was Masters and Carlito vs Cena. Cena didn't really manage any offense in the match. Masters and Carlito were on top of him from the second that bell rang. Cena looked poised to make a comeback when Masters decided to cut the match short by hammering Cena with a chair. Masters and Carlito lost the match, but followed Bischoff's orders by delivering a massive beat down to Cena to end the show and end our agreement with Spike TV. Next week we're back to our home on the USA Network.

Okay, yeah, lost my net AGAIN. But it's back now. I'm going to try and catch up and get back up to pace.
