Cole - For the first time in history, Raw kicks off with a steel cage match for a world title!
(after Jericho wins)Lawler - How can Lady Luck hang around such a despicable person!?
Adamle - K2, No Mercy is shaping up to be a great Pay-Per-View…
Kane - Years ago, I was in a position where I was forced to remove my mask. But the truth is, no one forces me to do anything - I took it off for all of you, so that I would be accepted, but that didn’t happen - did it? I unmasked, and what did that get me? People point at me! I don’t like being pointed at! I don’t like being ridiculed. You people are repulsed by me, and the feeling is more than mutual! Rey is a man who doesn’t have the courage to do what I did! All of you wear masks as well - all of you hide behind masks of happiness, you pretend to care about your fellow human beings and the only ones you care about is yourself! WHEN I ATTACKED REY AND TORE OFF HIS MASK, I WAS ATTACKING EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU!
Bourne - I CAN’T WAIT TO SEE HIM BEAT YOU TONIGHT!
Kane - HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Jillian - YOU AIN’T NOTHING BUT A HOUND DOG…
Lawler - Jillian’s worth watching but not listening to.
(as Jillian sings during a full nelson)Lawler - I’ve heard of singing in the rain but never singing in the ring.
(after an Unprettier)Cole - IF CANDICE HITS THE CANDY WRAPPER AT NO MERCY, WE’LL HAVE A NEW WOMEN’S CHAMPION!
Cole - Here’s a man who’s BITTER - he says he lost millions in the past week, and last week, Charlie Haas and Batista MADE FUN OF HIM!
Lawler - His limo doesn’t have turn signals - he’s so rich that he doesn’t have to tell people where he’s going.
Cole - He’s even upset with his wife - people are saying she’s responsible for the stock market crashing.
Cole - JBL on after the bell on WWE.com said that he DOESN’T LIKE BEING LAUGHED AT!
Lawler - Last week it was funny, to everyone, for everyone, to everyone but JBL.
JBL - Mike Adamle, I am not leaving this ring until you make me the number 1 contender RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW, TONIGHT! DO NOT LISTEN TO THESE PEOPLE AND MAKE YOUR DECISION BASED ON WHATEVER THEY CHANT! These people cannot relate to me! They can’t afford their own mortgage, I OWN SEVERAL HOMES! Adamle, ya learned last week that YA DON’T MESS WITH JBL! THERE IS NOBODY ON GOD’S GREEN EARTH WHO HAS BETTER CREDENTIALS TO BE NUMBER 1 CONTENDER…(Orton comes out)
Orton - A few weeks ago, I gave my evaluation of Raw’s champions - I was not impressed, which is why I took it upon myself to make sure that Punk didn’t keep his championship! (fans chant RKO) I gotta say, JBL, you’re not much of an improvement. Now the Age of Orton was cut short due to an injury, as I can continue to rehab my shoulder, it’s only a matter of time until it resumes, and when it does, it does not matter who is champion on Raw, because I will once again become WORLD CHAMPION! Finally, there will be a champion here on Raw that actually has some credibility. I don’t care if I have to go through…(Santino’s theme)
Santino - Who do you think-a you are!? You insult me, you insult the Glamazon, unlike you, WE ARE CHAMPION! And unlike you, we are ealty! Look at you, you’re always injury. Just like your daddy! That’s right, how long did he have that cast on his arm? Six years? My papa is always healthy - sure, he did have the herpes, but he managed it very well! And unlike you, we do represent a new age of champions, so POLOGIZE! POLOGIZE TO ME!
Orton - Do you actually expect me to respond to that? I don’t care if I’m hurt, I’ll take you..
Santino - POLOGIZE!
JBL - Not to Mr. and Mrs. Phoenix, YOU APOLOGIZE TO ME! HOW’S YOUR SHOULDER! You have become irrelevant! I AM THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN JUSTIFIABLY SAY THAT HE IS NUMBER ONE CONTENDER! I DID WHAT YOU COULD NOT DO, BOOM, ONE CLOTHESLINE FROM HELL - I KNOCKED OUT THE ANIMAL! I SUGGEST YOU TAKE THE BASS OUTTA YOUR EYEBALLS BECAUSE I’D HATE FOR SOMETHING TO HAPPEN AND YOUR…shoulder get hurt again!
Batista - Hahaha…now before I beat the hell out of all of you, I just gotta say this - this is the most pathetic sight I’ve ever seen. The four of you out here BLAHBLAHBLAH, making promises ya can’t keep - you’re like a bunch of politicians! Like Obama said you can put lipstick on a pig, but at the end of the day, it’s still a pig!
Santino - HEY, JUST BECAUSE SHE SOMETIMES SQUEALS, DOESN’T MEAN SHE’S A PIG!
Batista - Don’t make me slap that unibrow off your face! Tonight, I face JBL, and win, then face Jericho for the world championship! I’m gonna keep on beating up guys until you, Orton, get your little doctor’s note and I’ll beat your ass too!
Santino - HEY, AREN’T YOU FORGETTING ABOUT SOMEONE!
Batista - Beth, you want a shot at the title, and I’ll beat your ass too!
JBL - Listen to me…
Batista - I’M TIRED OF LISTENING TO YOU, AND I’M TIRED OF TALKING - LET’S GO RIGHT NOW!
Adamle - Gentlemen, THERE’S NO NEED FOR PHYSICALITY! I’ve decided who will face Jericho at No Mercy. I’ll make the official announcement after the Kane-Rey match.
Batista - Actually Mike, I’ll make my case now. (he beats up JBL then spinebusters Santino)
(Beth slaps Batista)Batista - OW! (he then spinebusters her on top of Santino’s face)
Lilian - GOOD OL’ JH - JIM HAAS!
JH - BOOMER SOONER! BOOMER SOONER! I didn’t play football at OU, I didn’t even go to school there, but I got a ring! AND I GO TO EVERY PRACTICE! YOU’RE IN FOR A SLOBBER KNOCKER! By the way, DON’T FORGET TO BUY MY BAR-B-Q SAUCE, ONLINE, AT JRSBARBQ.COM!
JH - STONE COLD! PAY-PER-VIEW! I’M ABOUT WHOOP SOMEONE LIKE A GOVERNMENT MULE!
Cole - LOU THESZ PRESS! LOU THESZ PRESS!
Cole - GOOD OLE JH GOING FOR THE OKLAHOMA STAMPEDE OF DR. DEATH STEVE WILLIAMS!
JBL - Chris, I know we’re not friends, but last week, me made a very impressive tag team.
Jericho - Remember when you cost me the title last year? Because I do! The chances of you getting a title shot are falling faster than the stock market. Adamle values my opinions more than you because I’M THE CHAMPION! If I’m going on the stock market, I’m not investing in Merrill-Lynch and I’m not investing in JBL as a tag team partner.
Lawler - You know, Noble’s house doesn’t have curtains, but his truck does.
Cole - You ever have your heart broken like Noble?
Lawler - Well, I have. It’s in my book…
Cole - Of course.
Layla - Jamie, I’m sorry…it took me this long to GET RID OF YOU! Where were you gonna take me? To the Waffle House in your pickup truck? Now I’ve found a man who is worthy of me!(Regal comes out)
Regal - You see, it’s not Noble that she wanted - it’s nobility.
Lawler - RIGHT IN THE MOUTH!
Cole - OF THE 300 POUNDER!
Jericho - First of all, I want to thank Mike Adamle for listening to my opinion. Who will be the number 1 contender for my title? That shouldn’t be taken lightly. Batista, JBL…well, in my opinion, neither are worthy for a shot at my title, so at NM, they should face each other, beat the living hell out of each other, and right afterwards, I’ll face the winner for MY championship. They say it’s not fair, that’s two matches in one night - BIG DEAL - I wrestled two matches in one night and I became world champion BECAUSE I’M THE BEST IN THE WORLD! I’m in a league of my own and I DESERVE THIS! If Adamle wants to continue respecting his champion, I suggest that he makes my suggestion HAPPEN at No Mercy!
Adamle - Chris, I hear ya, and I say that it’s more than fair. So at No Mercy, it’ll be JBL vs. Batista, and the winner will be the new number 1 contender. Now I’ve got a slight problem - I’m supposed to have quarterly meetings with Shane and Stephanie, because I don’t want to schedule challengers to fight twice, so it’ll be JBL vs. Batista, and the winner will face the champion, but not on that night.
Jericho - What do you mean? The winner of JBL-Batista WILL FACE ME!?
Adamle - Not necessarily, I have to defend the title that night, and I solicited the opinions of JBL and Batista, and someone else. And that someone had a title match, an idea for a title match, I couldn’t pass it up. So Chris, let me introduce your opponent at No Mercy for the World Heavyweight Championship… (fans chant HBK, HBK comes out) HBK - I know what you’re thinking, Chris. We’ve already fought in a regular match, an unsanctioned match - what more can we do? Is there any way to top ourselves? More importantly, is there a match that is not only thrilling, but will allow me to permanently disfigure you in ways that even I can’t imagine? And then it hit me - there is a match that some people say I put on the map…there’s a match that some people say I revolutionized… AND it is a match that is going to allow me to beat you for the world heavyweight championship, so at No Mercy, it is gonna be HBK vs. Jericho for th world heavyweight championship in a …boys, help me out here… LADDER MATCH!
Cole - The WWE…WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP WILL BE DEFENDED IN A LADDER MATCH AT NO MERCY!
