RAW Results - 9/19/05
Witchita Falls, Texas

Start of Show:

The music of GM Eric Bischoff hit the waves as he made his way to the
ring with a title over his shoulder as the crowd looks on confused at
him. He's smiling as he grabs a mic and begins to speak. He says
clearly after Unforgiven last night, there is a great deal of
confusion about who the WWE champion is. He says he is here to clear
this up and he has a MAJOR announcement to make but first he wants to
introduce us to the ONLY Olympic gold medallist in the WWE; Kurt
Angle!

Angle makes his way to the ring to his usual noise from the crowd.
Angle poses to the crowd as they boo him and it seems as if he is
celebrating victory or something. Bischoff says last night, Cena
showed a blatant disregard for the rules, especially placing his hands
on Eric Bischoff himself. He says he can do something about it though
and by the power vested in him, by the WWE board of directors, he
hereby strips John Cena of the WWE TITLE!!! He then introduces to us,
his new WWE champion.... Vince McMahon's music hits and he makes his
way to the arena himself to the delight of the crowd! The Boss is
here!

Angle extends his hand to the boss and he shakes it. Eric says he is
surprised to see Vince McMahon. Angle butts in and says Mr. McMahon
came here to personally thank him for beating John Cena last night.
McMahon gives Angle congrats on his big win but says he has a bone to
pick with Bischoff. Angle gets involved more and says as new WWE
champion he will uphold the 3 I's and finally be someone others can
look up to in this company. Vince asks who made him WWE champion, and
Angle points to Bischoff. Vince says he has no authority to do that!
Vince corrects it all after mocking the hell out of Bischoff, who
whined about Cena.

McMahon then talks about two weeks from tonight, Monday, October 3rd,
a WWE homecoming. Coming back home will be the hardcore legend Mick
Foley, HHH, Hulk Hogan, and Stone Cold Steve Austin! He then looks at
Bischoff and says there will also be something else happening and he
does have the authority to do this. Angle asks if it involves him.
Bischoff says two weeks from tonight, John Cena goes one on one in a
WWE title match against you.... (Angle smiles but then..) Vince says
"ERIIIIIIIIIC BISCHOOOOOOOOF"! Easy E can't believe his eyes as the
boss walks out of the ring strutting his stuff.

he says the match is still on and leaves the arena!

Carlito vs. Ric Flair (c)

Back live on RAW and the music of Ric Flair hit as he made his way to
the ring as the Intercontinental Champion after winning it last night
at Unforgiven!

The start:

The two locked it up and Flair backed Carlito to the corner and then
wooed at him. They locked up again and Carlito grabbed a side headlock
and then hit a shoulderblock and then slapped Flair, and then Flair
shook his head. Another lock up and Flair nailed a huge chop on
Carlito to knock him off his feet, and Carlito bailed to the outside
and kicked the barricade in frustration.

Mid-Match Notes:

Back inside and Flair nailed another chop on Carlito and then got him
in the corner and unloaded with another chop, and then started to
stomp the leg of Carlito and he bailed to the outside. Jerry Lawler:
"Flair gave me one of those pills he took last night, and it got stuck
in my throat and gave me a stiff neck all day!". Back in the ring and
Flair took Carlito down and worked the arm with a hammerlock on the
canvas. Flair stomped the arm and then chopped Carlito some more in
the corner before knocking Carlito off his feet once more, and going
back to work the arm as the fans got behind the Nature Boy.

Carlito raked the eyes of Flair and then clotheslined him to the
outside of the ring. Back in, and Carlito took advantage with stomps
in the corner on Flair, and then some left hands from the south paw.
Carlito hit a back body drop out of the corner and then covered but
Flair kicked out at two. Carlito kicked Flair in the head and there is
a huge swelling above his eye. Flair poked Carlito in the eye and then
chopped him. Flair nailed a right hand to the head and then set
Carlito up in the corner and went to grab him low but the referee
stopped him and Carlito came back with right hands and mounted punches
in the corner.

Carlito hit some chops of his own in the corner but Flair came back
with more of his own, and then took Carlito off his feet and went to
the outside and grabbed Carlito's apple. Flair took a bite and spat it
all over Carlito's face! Flair ripped at the face of Carlito and then
gave him straight lefts and rights in the corner before nailing
another chop. Flair strutted across the ring and snapped Carlito's
neck across the top rope. Flair choked Carlito some and went to suplex
him from the apron into the ring but Carlito blocked. Flair then sent
Carlito head first into the corner and nailed a chop to knock Carlito
to the outside as we went to commercial.

When we come back, Carlito is in control as we saw that he played
possum during the break, clocking Flair in the face at the top of the
ramp. He now has Flair in a rear chin lock as the crowd gets behind
Flair. The Nature Boy works his way back to his feet but Carlito hits
him with a spinebuster off the ropes for a two count. Carlito nails a
vertical suplex and he gets another near fall. Carlito continues to
throw hands to the bruised face of Flair and he mounts him in the
corner again but Flair nails an atomic drop followed by a big chop as
both men go down. Flair drops an elbow across the chest of Carlito
before picking him back up and tossing him off the buckles but Carlito
explodes with a clothesline and he gets another near fall.

Flair responds with a flurry of chops and Carlito knocks him down
again somehow but Flair gets the thumb to the eye and then the two
exchange chop for chop until Flair puts his thumb in Carlito's eye and
holds it there allowing him to chop Carlito down! Flair hits a back
elbow on Carlito and he goes to the top rope! Flair actually doesn't
get thrown off and he hits a big fist to the head of Carlito! He
follows up with a chop block to the knee and Carlito begs for him to
stay off and Carlito under bridges Flair under the ring and to the
outside where he works his lower back on the apron.

The Finish:

Carlito tosses Flair back in the ring but Flair meets him with a kick
to the gut. Flair sweeps the leg of Carlito and he goes for the figure
four and he locks it in! Carlito shakes his head but Flair grabs the
ropes and forces Carlito to tap out!

Winner and still Intercontinental Champion, Ric Flair

Todd is with Matt Hardy:

Hardy talks about winning last night when HBK shows up talking about
the ladder match! HBK says everyone is talking about Hardy and himself
because last night they came through. The Big Show appears and says
gives himself props from last night when John Cena shows up and
promotes the big 8 man match tonight! He pumps all of his team mates
up as they all get excited about the match tonight. He then gets to
Todd Grisham who says he can do the robot and he dances! Cena says
it's great and then says there is one move that can sum up how they
feel about their opponents... F...U...

Maria is with the new champion:

Maria sees Ric Flair and asks what happened to his eye. She says he
beat Carlito twice, so she has to know why he is called the Nature
Boy. He says because he can "WHOOOO" all night long. Business with
pleasure is never mixed though. Tonight was all business and Carlito
learned his lesson. Carlito shows up and says he was screwed and
that's not cool. Flair says "really?" and punches him in the face!
They brawl around but Chris Masters shows up and puts Flair in the
Master Lock! Carlito kicks at the gut of Flair before Masters lets go
and then Carlito spits an apple in his face.

volunteers to be a human bullet as big Show tosses him over the top
rope and onto both men! Back in the ring, Edge grabs the briefcase but
he misses Cena and Cena nails his spinning back drop. The Big Show
nails his chokeslam and as he goes to cover Edge, Cena gets on top of
