JANUARY 24, 2005 - MONDAY NIGHT RAW

WWE.com announced over the weekend that a round robin-style tournament would be held over the next five weeks with six of the top contenders for the United States Title going at it. The best records will face off at Superbrawl for a title shot at WrestleMania! Add to that Rhyno and Eddie Guerrero against Christian and Tajiri, a huge tag team main event between Canadian Violence and the team of John Cena and The Rock, plus a challenge from Brock Lesnar, and tonight's RAW looks like it's going to be off the charts!

The tournament kicks off as La Resistance's Rene Dupree takes on the Natural Born Ministry's Haas! Decent contest, but the crowd didn't care much for the heel-heel matchup, so it lost some luster. Haas picks up the win with the Haas of Pain to start 1-0 while Dupree now starts in an 0-1 hole.

On the opposite end of the spectrum is our second tournament match as two of RAW's most popular mid/upper midcard Superstars go one-on-one. A-Train and Paul London get a much bigger reaction than our opening contest. Train uses his power while London uses speed to put on a fun match. London looks like he's on the verge of a win after a big huracanrana, but as A-Train reverses an Irish whip, London winds up running right into a chair being held by his rival Damien! London staggers forward into the Derailer, and A-Train picks up the win! Damien comes into the ring to continue the beating, but A-Train realizes what's happened and hits him with a Derailer out of frustration. Obviously, Train didn't want to win this way, but he's off to a 1-0 start while London falls to 0-1.

London grabbed a microphone after the loss and basically cuts a "What is your problem?!?" promo on Damien. London still doesn't get why Damien has continually assaulted him since his RAW debut, and he especially doesn't get why Damien keeps going after him when he's got his match against Rey Mysterio at Superbrawl. (Yeah, it's almost like I'm building a long-term story between these two).

The first round of matches comes to an end next as Shelton Benjamin takes on a man who has done a lot to make his life miserable lately, the leader of the Natural Born Ministry, Sean O'Haire. It's a little depressing to think of how far Sean O'Haire has fallen since his World Title reign last year, but he can still put on damn good matches, especially when he's in there with a wrestler the caliber of Benjamin. Eventually, Shelton picks up a big win with the Dragon Whip to start 1-0 and put O'Haire down 0-1. There are still four weeks left, but Shelton is looking like a frontrunner!

Back from commercial, and Shelton's former college teammate Brock Lesnar's music hits. He comes to the ring and grabs a microphone. He starts off by cutting a promo on his Superbrawl match with Rob Van Dam. He says that he decided that the best way to prepare for RVD is to go back to the beginning, to where it all started for Mr. Monday Night. So, now for the next several weeks, Brock's going to run through any ECW original he can get his hands on!

The first victim is... a debuting Axl Rotten! Rotten comes to the ring to a good nostalgia pop, but he walks right into a piledriver and an F-5 and Brock picks up a quick squash win! After the match, RVD comes out for a measure of revenge and lays Brock out with a chairshot!

Rey Mysterio is backstage, and he has questions. Like Paul London, he doesn't understand what's happening. Matt Hardy has a big match with Eddie Guerrero at Superbrawl, and Rey has one against Damien. So why does Matt keep attacking him on SmackDown!?

Much like we imagine TNA will be in 2010, those questions will remain unanswered and we just move on to a new segment. This time, it's World Champion Rhyno teaming with one-half of the World Tag Team Champions Eddie Guerrero against Tajiri and Royal Rumble winner Christian! Two budding rivalries collide in this big tag match that absolutely tears the roof off of the arena! The heels pick up the win and the momentum when Christian plants Eddie with an Unprettier.

Before our big main event, Chris Jericho is out to cut a promo on his rivalry with Intercontinental Champion John Cena. Basically just reminding viewers for whom the last three days has seemed more like 31 that they're feuding and both awesome on the mic.

Our main event gets a 96 rating for crowd reaction and 90 for the match quality, and why shouldn't it? Cena, Rock, Benoit, and Jericho can all go and they show it tonight. Lots of near falls, and Benoit whips out a Tiger Driver '91 at one point. Eventually, The Rock picks up the clean win for his team by hitting Benoit with the Rock Bottom! After the match, Canadian Violence get some revenge by jumping the babyfaces, driving them from the ring.

The WWE Champion grabs a microphone from ringside and tears into Benoit. Benoit talks a big game about cashing in his title shot at any time. So why doesn't he just do it already? The Rock knows that Benoit is one of the best wrestlers in the world, but he also knows that he's absolutely crazy. He just hopes that Benoit can get his act together long enough for Rock to lay him out and take that briefcase, turn it sideways, and shove it straight up his candy ass! He then leads a crowd singalong in his catchphrase, and RAW goes off the air.
