Will Hulkamania run wild?

The legend of all legends Hulk Hogan will be coming to Monday Night RAW. Last week, at Saturday Night’s Main Event, Hogan accepted a friendly challenge for SummerSlam against Randy Orton. However, later that night the Legend Killer showed his true colors when he hit the Hulkster with an unsuspecting RKO on the truck of his own car. Will Hogan be able to wait until SummerSlam to settle the score?

Mr. McMahon tried to divide and conquer DX on RAW when he put Shawn Michaels in a match with his son Shane. But after the Spirit Squad teamed with Shane for a six-on-one beating on HBK, The Game came into the ring and cleaned house with his sledgehammer. With yet another plot to destroy DX foiled, does the Chairman have anymore tricks up his sleeve?

Mr. McMahon’s not the only one out for revenge. After nearly losing his WWE Championship to John Cena at Saturday Night’s Main Event, Edge showed up at RAW to sabotage Cena’s match with Umaga. Will Cena retaliate when RAW comes to Cleveland, Ohio?

Last week, after another impressive victory, the undefeated Highlanders issued a challenge to the World Tag Team Champions. The Spirit Squad has accepted that challenge, and the match will take place tonight. Which members of the Squad will step up to the plate to defend the gold? And what shape are they in after being laid out by DX last week? Tune in tonight at 9/8 CT on USA to find out.

Amy Zidian was the first to get eliminated from the 2006 $250,000 Diva Search Contest. After Friday Night SmackDown’s Diva Dance-Off, which one of the seven remaining finalists will be the next to go? Find out on a live edition of Monday night RAW, 9/8 CT on the USA Network.

Hogan = RATINGS.

Did not work so well at Saturday Night's Main Event though.

I will watch, like always...but I can honestly say that from the preview, I am not looking forward to anything..>_>

the only thing I could possibly be interesting in, that is not in the preview is the carlito/nitro/shelton feud, and the melina/trish feud. Surprisingly the melina/trish iis better than most of the matches RAW has seen in a while...and anytime you put the current IC contenders in the ring together it could turn out to be MOTN easily, and I predict it will be.

I will probably change the channel when the diva search, and hogan/orton comes on, however.

well don't count on HHH or Vince to be at Raw...

Preview reads: Hogan - McMahon - McMahon - Diva Search. Oh boy do they know how to sell an addition of RAW :roll: :PAcolyteV1

Man this RAW suddenly got that damn better. With the removal of McMahon, we might just end up seeing Shelton this week! :shock:

we need Momma!

I thought SS were told they would break up this week and that Highlanders would win tag titlesdRehkJY

they were told they were GOING TO break up, i don't think there was a time mentioned. and i doubt they will without Vince and Shane there to make some sort of "break up" stip between DX & SS.

WWE.com has updated the Raw preview:

I didn't really pay attention to the Foley or Flair promos.  But, I had forgotten how similar Edge and Nitro are: The hair, the build, the hot mexican, not to mention both have a title.  Makes sense that they would tag together soon.

And this is a slow night for this thread.

Quite a dull RAW thus far.

It's looking optimistic now with Carlito/Benjamin up in the air right now.

so were did they say hhh was patwin619

shawn said that he was at the hospital too, but he said it was cuz he went there cuz vince and shane would be there and he might "know" who the real father is

MOTN so far.hbk91

not saying much.

[QUOTE="hbk91"] MOTN so far.sephy37

So, the countdown is on. Place your bets. How long left till Orton RKOs Hogan...again?

I am giving it 6 minutes.

Wait Diva search is over? I can watch RAW now?Kotenks

Candice tripped up by the stairs. :lol:

That will teach her to taunt in a long gown.

Hey look! It's Mickie! :D

Didn't much care for the Hogan/Orton segment. 

Yay, here comes Mickie! :D

Well that match flew by, not surprising though.

Another break? Damn.

that huge Samoan Drop by Umaga was greatsephy37

My thoughts exactly.  I don't like Umaga, but that was wicked.  Highlight of the whole match.

had a feeling that Umaga was going to be the surprise for DX.

nice somoa drop.

They should have just had HBK vs. Umaga.

HBK's selling couldn't even give that thumb attack justice IMHO

Is it just me, or does Carlito seem like Jericho, as in ring ability.mrgab

Chris Jericho is a workrate legend...Lionheart is the stuff of legends and his work in Puro and Lucha really put him in leagues higher than most of the WWE roster right now...

Carlito needs work. he should have stayed in Puerto Rico to gain some experience before coming to the 'E'
