WWE RAW Opener:

RAW opened up with a video package hyping Hulk Hogan s appearance on Carlito s Cabana tonight. The fireworks then went off in the arena as Jim Ross, The Coach and Jerry Lawler welcomed us to the show. Also tonight will be the Boot Camp Match with the Diva Search girls, and John Cena will be on the Highlight Reel!

In the arena:

The music of Carlito hit in the arena as he made his way to the ring as the Intercontinental Champion for the Cabana. Carlito got on the mic and said tonight is the 4th of July. A big USA chant then started up, with Carlito going on to say that this is the only night of the year for fireworks, but on the Cabana, there are fireworks every night, especially tonight. He said his guest tonight has a new reality show debuting on VH1, Sunday night at 10PM. A big Hogan chant started up, and Carlito said Hogan will be promoting his new show on Jay Leno, Jimmy Kimmel, Regis & Kelly, but the first place he wanted to come was Carlito s Cabana. We then went into a highlight package of Hogan Knows Best . Carlito said wow, without further adieu, the legend, the immortal, the one and only Hulk Hogan! Hogan made his way down to the ring to a standing ovation from the crowd is Sacramento. Carlito said wow, don t do anything else, let him first say that this is huge. Let him say that it is truly an honor, he s done it all. He s the most recognized name in wrestling, maybe in the world. He said this is the biggest thing in Hogan s career he s ever done. Hogan got on the mic and went to talk about Hogan Knows Best , but Carlito meant Hogan being on the Cabana. Carlito asked why he didn t bring his daughter Brooke, and Hogan said he was borderline from getting thrown into the top of the building, brother! Carlito said he is cool, but Brooke is hot, why doesn t he let Carlito take her out on a date. Hogan then nailed Carlito and knocked him out of the ring, and then Kurt Angle s music hit! Kurt Angle said who cares about his daughter, what they should care about is him making Shawn Michaels tap at WrestleMania, and making Ric Flair tap last week, but instead of respecting him, they go online and vote that Flair is still the man over him. Instead of respecting him, they show respect and cheer Hulk Hogan. Why? Because he has his own reality show? Angle said the last time they were in the ring, he made him tap out, and he can do it all over again if he wanted to. He said the one person he would like to make tap more than him, is his daughter Brooke! Hogan then nailed Angle with right hands, but Carlito came back in and attacked Hogan from behind and they double teamed him, but then Shawn Michaels hit the ring and scared off both Carlito and Angle. Michaels helped Hogan up as Angle and Carlito backed up the aisle.
