Amazing Segment For Shawn Michaels After RAW: Undertaker Appears, Vince Gets Emotional

After RAW went off the air, two referees are helping John Cena and WWE Champion CM Punk. Cena got up first, to a mixed reaction. Cena takes a mic and says it hurt like a ton of bricks, but the last he heard he was in San Antonio and that we’re here to honor the man that put San Antonio on the map. Cena then introduced Shawn Michaels. A video was shown of Randy Orton, Rey Mysterio, Daniel Bryan, Cena, Punk, Edge, Ricky Steamboat, Kofi Kingston and Triple H talking about Michaels, which led to a career highlight package. Out comes Michaels, who was dubbed “Mr. Hall of Fame” by Cena.

Michaels took a mic, but before he could speak, he was interrupted by Triple H. CM Punk then gets up out of script from The Big Show’s punch and interrupts. Punk says he’s sorry and he knows he’s going to get in trouble, but shares a story about when he got Michaels’ autograph when he was 15 and kept it in his wallet all the time. Punk then left.

They made a few jokes in the ring about how Triple H would crack jokes because he was not able to get emotional. Triple H then presents HBK with a plaque and tells Michaels that he loves him like a brother and appreciates him.

Out comes Vince McMahon power walking way more than usual. McMahon gets a mic and can’t hold his emotions. He said that he’s always felt like Michaels’ father and tells him that he loves him like a son with tears and his voice cracking. McMahon then tells him to “take off that stupid hat” to keep from crying. The entire roster came out on the ramp. Michaels takes the mic, but McMahon says to hold on and then… DONG!

Out comes the Undertaker and the crowd goes crazy. ‘Taker grabs the mic and tries to stay in character, which he does for the most part. He said that Michaels is one of the few names that comes up when you think of the business. ‘Taker goes on to say that of his top 5 matches, he’s wrestled Shawn in 3 of them. He looks at Triple H and says he’s in the other 2. Undertaker then cracks a couple of jokes, and then stays in the ring with Vince, Triple H and Michaels.

Vince says there’s one more person that wants to come out. John Laurinaitis comes out and steps in the ring, only to be met by Sweet Chin Music. The crowd loves it. Referees help Laurinaitis up, and then Triple H holds him up for a second superkick.

Triple H finally takes the mic and says “thanks,” and that he loves and appreciates San Antonio, and “good night.” Vince then leaves the ring. Laurinaitis gets up to yet a third superkick. ‘Taker, Triple H and Michaels then pose for pictures.

“Backstage Fallout” Raw – July 30, 2012

Ed’s thoughts on the backstage fallout:

I must admit (and I’m not saying this just for my partner Trevor’s benefit), but I have to agree  with the Crazy Chick, that The Age of AJ is off to a fantastic start. While newly turned heel CM Punk wouldn’t agree (he screams “Are you crazy” at AJ as the show ends), it’s my opinion that AJ did a much better job as GM than Punk did as a heel.

Being a huge Jericho fan, I am excited that he is fueding with Dolph Ziggler and that it appears he will be a face again for a while. I love hearing the crowd pop for The Ayatollah of Rock ‘n’ Rolla when he comes out to Break the Walls Down! I  also thought that Jericho and Christian worked great together.

While it is funny and good entertainment, how long can Kofi put up with “Little Jimmy” getting in the way of the progress for the tag champions (notice Kofi shaking his head at the end of that part). And I’ve got 2 “what’s up with……” issues with AW. 1) What’s up with AW being a sissy and throwing a shoe at Kofi, and 2)What’s up with AW having a live mic during the entire match. Someone needs to find his mute button.

Raw 1001 Preview

We were shocked – shocked, we say – when CM Punk seemingly snapped on Raw 1,000 and GTS-ed The Rock into a catatonic state after The Great One interfered following Punk’s WWE Title Match against John Cena to close the show. The Second City Saint left without another word as boos rained down upon him for the first time since the “pipe bomb,” with Rock splayed in ruin across the canvas and a thousand questions echoing in the WWE Universe’s collective mind. Elsewhere, Cena found himself on the wrong side of history, and Raw got itself the unlikeliest of General Managers by appointment of Mr. McMahon himself. Here are five things to look out for on Raw 1,001.
