WWE RAW REPORT: THREE HOURS COULDN'T HOLD THIS SHOW; LEGENDS GALORE; MAKE SURE TO WATCH THE FINAL THIRTY MINUTES

By Richard Trionfo on 2010-11-15 23:15:35
We are live from Hershey, Pennsylvania and your announcers are Michael ‘Gorilla’ Cole and Jerry ‘Thank You Mr. McMahon’ Lawler.

We have the old school opening and old school pyro as Cole and Lawler talk about the vintage show that we will see tonight.

Justin Roberts, dressed like he is going to prom introduces Mean Gene Okerlund.

Gene tells us that Raw goes ‘old school’ tonight and he brings out WWE Hall of Famer Cowboy Bob Orton with his vintage cast on his arm. Gene mentions that Bob’s son is the WWE Champion. Bob says that Randy isn’t here yet because he might not have known that the show was starting an hour early and Randy will be here. Gene asks Bob if he thinks that Randy will win on Sunday. Bob says that Randy knows how to deal with adversity and getting things done. Bob says that he would get calls when Randy was a kid that Randy threatened the teachers and Bob says that he didn’t care. Bob doesn’t care if Cena is the referee. Orton says that he doesn’t care if Randy gives Barrett and Cena RKOs.

Speaking of Randy’s opponent on Sunday, Wade Barrett comes out to the interview area and he is alone.

Barrett tells the old man that his prediction for Sunday is as phony as Bob’s cast. Wade says that he will do something that Bob couldn’t do and that is become WWE Champion. Wade says that he doesn’t owe anything to the ‘old school’ because he did it on his own. Barrett says that his goals will be realized when his arm is raised on Sunday.

Wade says that he didn’t bring out the rest of Nexus because he wants Bob conscious on Sunday to see the beating.

The Miz comes out with Alex Riley and Michael Cole gushes from the announce table. Miz throws out a few ‘reallys’ and then asks if it is just that simple. Miz says that Orton didn’t thank him when he announce that he was going to be on Randy’s team. Miz says that he sent a message back to Randy and he changed the landscape of the ten man tag match. Miz says that he can change the landscape of the WWE by cashing in his briefcase.

Miz suggests that he might cash it in tonight when he arrives. That would mean that Wade and Randy wouldn’t fight for the WWE title and John Cena would have to be in Nexus forever.

John Cena appears in the locker room and he says that Miz has a knack of ruining everything he touches. He will make sure that Miz cannot cash in tonight. Cena says that the stipulation will stand tonight. John says that he is going to protect Wade tonight, because he is doing it for himself. John Cena says that he will challenge Miz to a match tonight.

Cena says that the ‘normal’ Miz is probably looking at Alex Riley to whine and complain. Cena says that if Miz is as awesome as he says, he can say that he accepts the match.

Miz says that it is his time and he will make the decisions and he accepts the challenge.

We go to commercial with Barrett looking at Orton as if this is not the last time that they will meet tonight.

Truth tells Orton that he can do something about that.

Orton says that it appears that everyone has it figured out. There is a way that John Cena will not screw him over at Survivor Series and that is if he punts Cena in the head tonight.

This will show that Barrett is WWE Championship material.

Barrett says that is a good point and Nexus says that they have Wade’s back and Wade thanks Husky for his loyalty (while looking at Otunga). Barrett says that he does not need their help because he will prove that he can beat anyone on the Raw roster.

Match Number Four: John Cena versus The Miz with Alex Riley in a ‘You’re Either Awesome or Against Us Match’

Miz says that Cena always thinks he is one step ahead. If Cena wins, that means that Miz won’t be able to cash in his briefcase to ruin Cena’s freedom on Sunday. Miz says that the GM never officially sanctioned this match so if the GM doesn’t have a problem, he can make a substitution. That means that Miz won’t be competing against John Cena.

Time for a Buzzkill as Cole gets on his high chair. Since Cena and Orton have issues to work out and since this is old school, what better forum to do things with the man who will ask the tough questions. They will both be guests on Piper’s Pit.

We go to commercial.

We go to commercial.

We are back and it is time for the Legends to come back out and they are introduced. It looks like Tony Atlas is still talking about him and Rocky Johnson.

It is now time for Piper’s Pit with your host Rowdy Roddy Piper.

Piper says that ‘old school’ is not about nostalgia or a ‘happy feely time’. It was a time when you had to man up. It was a time when you had to stand up to the plate. Like when Captain Lou was being honored with an award, he smashed him in the face with a gold record. When Jimmy Snuka became a hot shot, he hit him in the head with a coconut. When you had a problem, you did something about it. That is what he hopes to accomplish tonight.

Piper brings out John Cena first. He says hello to Cena and calls him a ‘big boy’. He says that he has been a fan of his for a long time. Piper says that he has been competing over thirty years and he has never been WWE Champion. He says that many Hall of Famers like Ted DiBiase, Ricky Steamboat, Jimmy Snuka, and Mr. Perfect never became the WWE Champion. He says that if John is going to do what he thinks he is going to do and he is going to give that SOB Wade Barrett the title without him deserving it, he is spitting in the face of all of those legends he is saying that he respects. Piper says that he is asking John Cena not to spit in his face. Cena has been the man ever since he came into the company. Consequences be damned, he tells Cena to do the right thing.

Cena says that for weeks he has had to hear ‘free or fired’ and at times he doesn’t know what the right thing is. It is not that easy. He says that from the moment he got to the WWE, he has worked as hard as he can so people like Piper can look at the WWE they will say that that kid can hang with them. Cena says that old school is a term. He says that he looked up to them as a kid and they were his heroes. Cena says that he has been thinking about this a lot and all of the work he has been doing. He hands over a title, he is free, but he is only known as the guy who gave the title to Wade Barrett. John says that if Randy Orton wins at Survivor Series, he earns it. If Wade Barrett wins at Survivor Series, he earns it. Cena says that he will call the match down the middle.

Wade Barrett comes out and he tells Cena ‘bravo’ and ‘well said’. He agrees that the match should be called down the middle. Wade says that he has proven that he can beat anyone on the Raw roster without anyone’s help. Wade says that those were magnificent words, but they are only words. There is a reality at place. The reality is that if Wade doesn’t get his hand raised and win the WWE Title, Cena is history. There will be no Wrestlemania moment and no Cenation.

Piper tells Barrett to shut up. If Wade lets Cena give him the WWE Title, at the end of the day, he might have the title, but he won’t be a champion. He will be a joke.

Barrett wants to know who Roddy Piper is to cast judgment on him. Wade says that one way or another, this is John Cena’s final night on Raw as a part of Nexus. It might be his final night on Raw. On Sunday, he either sets him free or he fires him. Barrett says that if this is his final Raw as a part of Nexus, he makes Cena put on the black and gold of Nexus. He tells Cena to put it on or he will fire Cena on the spot.

John puts on the Nexus shirt and he is finally one of them. Cena asks Barrett if he is happy. He tells Wade that he is his boss until Sunday, but win or lose, he is going to turn Barrett’s face into mush.

Barrett says that he has heard all of his comments, and he knows that Nexus is banned from ringside. The moment the match ends, Nexus will hit the ring and neutralize any threat.

The other guest on Piper’s Pit finally comes out and Randy Orton is a man with a purpose as he comes to the ring.

Orton tells Cena ever since he counted 1-2-3 on him last week, he thought of a way to end this by kicking him in the skull and taking him out.

Cena asks Randy what is stopping him because he tried earlier tonight.

Randy says that he could take out Cena or . . .

Orton punches Barrett and then he hits a power slam. Orton goes to his knees and he does the RKO push ups. Cena stands between Barrett and Orton and Orton gives Cena an RKO.

Orton backs up and he sends Barrett out of the ring before lining up for the field goal. Orton misses wide right and Cena hits the Attitude Adjustment on Orton.

Barrett returns to the ring and he wants Barrett to raise his hand. Cena thinks about it he gives Barrett an Attitude Adjustment instead. Cena throws off the Nexus shirt and he leaves the ring as we go to credits.
