The fireworks went off in the arena for the start of RAW as Joey Styles and Jerry Lawler welcomed us to the show! Tonight, Vince McMahon promises to take out the trash, and all week long newspapers nation wide have been reporting Ric Flair s road rage incident, and tonight he will be the special guest on the debut edition of the Cutting Edge , plus Shawn Michaels will team with Shelton Benjamin to take on Carlito and Kurt Angle!
In the arena:
The music of Vince McMahon hit in the arena, and a garbage truck drove down the aisle with Vince driving it, and he looks set to take out the trash! The ring is decked out with a rep carpet, two podiums and a big leather chair in the middle. Vince got on the mic and said last week, he told Eric Bischoff that if he didn t achieve his objectives, it would be time to take out the trash, and unfortunately he failed again last week, so what we have here is a trash truck, and the only thing that s missing is the trash itself, so it s time to face and the music and he introduced Eric Bischoff to the ring. Bischoff made his way down the aisle and he doesn t look to be in good spirits here tonight. Bischoff took a microphone as the fans chanted you suck at him. Bischoff said this job is more to him than a job, this is not about what he does, this job is about who he is. He said that before this goes any further, he s pleading with him to keep his job as General Manager of RAW. McMahon said before he goes any further, you might ask yourself why he has two podiums out here and a chair on a raised platform. He said he is a fair man, and he thinks everyone should have their day in court, because for the first time tonight, live on RAW, will be the trail of Eric Bischoff! He said he has appointed himself the judge, Bischoff is the defense and he has appointed a man to represent him&and he is&the music of the Coach then hit as he made his way down as Eric Bischoff s defense attorney! Coach told Bischoff that he has this, and not to worry about a thing.
Vince sat in the leather chair as Coach said his client, Eric Bischoff, is an asshole! Bischoff looked confused as Coach went on to say Bischoff is not your friend, and does not get paid to be your friend. He gets paid to deliver the most exciting show in sports entertainment, and that s exactly what he has done for four years, and by the end of the night, Coach will prove not only does Bischoff deserve to keep his job, but will also deserve a raise! McMahon then introduced the prosecution, and Mick Foley s music hit! Foley made his way down, and instead of a briefcase, he had a lunchbox! The fans heavily chanted Foley, Foley as he took a mic and said he can honestly state that no one has done more to benefit RAW than Eric Bischoff. When Eric was running WCW, Bischoff announced live on air that Mick Foley, wrestling as Mankind, would win the WWE Championship. Eric tried to destroy the best night of his career, but instead, half a million fans switched from WCW programming to RAW and made a huge change in the Monday Night Wars and that was very generous, but as a General Manager, Bischoff is conniving and deceitful, and he will prove he has failed miserably in his attempts to entertain the general public. McMahon thanked them for the opening comments, and the trail will resume in the WWE court of law, in which by the end of the night, Eric Bischoff will keep his job, or it will be time to take out the trash!

WWE Court:
We are taken to the trial of Eric Bischoff, and it s in some weird court room somewhere. Vince is the judge and Coach is sat with Bischoff while Foley is sat alone. Chris Masters is the bailiff, shirtless I might add. Foley approached the bench and called his first witness, Miss Stephanie McMahon! McMahon made her way out and Foley said Stephanie has been a General Manager in the past, and in her expert opinion did Bischoff behave in the correct manner. Stephanie said both she and her brother believe Eric Bischoff should be removed from office. We then go to the video footage, which is of Smackdown! in 2002 on Halloween, with Bischoff dressed as McMahon and then forced himself on Stephanie, and then Stephanie started to like it.

Back in court and Tajiri in is there talking a bunch of Japanese. A translator says Tajiri has been a huge star in Japan and ECW but Bischoff ignores this. She says he wishes a pregnant rhinocerous shoves a mighty horn up his anal crevice. Tajiri then says Bischoff, I hope you get fired! Coach says he has no question for Tajiri, but they have a request, and Tajiri needs to get back to the arena as soon as possible because he has a match with Triple H! Tajiri is pissed as Foley called his next witness, and it s Mae Young with the Fabulous Moolah!
Back on RAW:
Back on RAW and Mae is babbling about a penis, and Coach said there is no evidence that Bischoff doesn t have a penis. Foley said he can prove that Bischoff has had a strange relationship with WWE superstars and we go to footage of Mae Young making out with Bischoff at Bad Blood 2003 in the Red Neck Triathlon. Coach said the witness is old, senile and over sexed. Vince said the witness may step down as Coach called his witness, and it s a RAW superstar who was hand picked by Bischoff, our very own bailiff Chris Masters. Masters took the stand and Coach asked his name and he said Chris Masters and Vince said this witness has committed perjury and his name is Mordetsky not Masters, and he is disqualified!
Backstage:
Shelton Benjamin is shown getting ready and Shawn Michaels comes in. He said Shelton has a home state crowd, and he has to have a good showing. Michaels put over Benjamin s accomplishments and then said a career in WWE has amounted to a big fat zero. He said the night he faced Michaels he was never better and took him to the limit, and since then he has been going downhill and downhill fast. Michaels said in this line of work, no one is better than him, he might not be all that popular but he s successful. He asked Benjamin if he wants friends of success, and asked him what he s going to do about it. Benjamin said Michaels wants an attitude? Then you ll get an attitude.

WWE Court:
Back in court and Coach has Daivari in the stand. He says that Bischoff gave Daivari an opportunity and Daivari said Bischoff has handled his job with class and dignity. He said Foley was pathetic as commissioner, and it s obvious that Bischoff should remain General Manager of RAW. McMahon had his earphones in and said he was listening to Ashlee Simpson on his new iPod and Christ she sucks! McMahon said Daivari will not be refereeing Kurt Angle s match tonight, and that we are going to take a recess. Foley then opened the box and stuck into some Moon Pie!
The Cutting Edge:
The ring is decked out with a black carpet, and there are two stools in the middle of the ring. Edge is in there with Lita, and it s time for the Cutting Edge with Ric Flair, who was arrested last week on road rage charges. Edge got on the mic and welcomed us to the first ever edition of the Cutting Edge. He said this show is different and they will ask questions that everyone is afraid to ask. He introduced himself as the Rated R Superstar, and by his side, the only lady hot enough to be on this show, the lovely Lita. Lita then asked if she caught him staring at her boobs, because she doesn t mind. Edge said everyone else on RAW is PG13, and they can t find a guest for this show. She said if anyone caught a glimpse of him destroying Dmitri Young they should be scared. He said this week, Ric Flair has backed out after legal advice. Edge said this is Flair Country but Lita said no, this is Edge Country . Edge said he likes that and that s why Ric was afraid to come on the show tonight, because if he was on here, all those years he prided himself of being the dirtiest player in the game, well it seems he pulled someone over to the side of the road and beat the crap out of him. He said Ric has gone from this (a picture of Flair in his prime was shown) to this (Flair mug shot). Edge then mocked Flair and Lita said it sounds like Flair was having some insecurity issues as he can t get it done in the ring anymore. She said he has been reduced to beating men up on the street and let s not get started on his personal life. Slaughter and Michael Hayes came out and Edge said Vince said I ve gone too far? and they are signalling him to come to the back. Lita called them two legends who earn a check by kissing McMahon s ass.
They then got into the ring and Edge says he gets it, someone told Hayes he had a bottle of Jack Daniels. Hayes said let s go, the show is over. Hayes then said he swears to god, they come out here running their mouth and don t care about anyone or anything, and they have no respect for the business that people like him and Slaughter and Flair built. They wait around in their rent a cars and guaranteed contracts but he respects Flair because he gave his life to the business and as a sixteen time World Champion, he will give him the benefit of the doubt. Hayes then said he has a question, how many times has Edge been in the main event? How many times has he sold out the arena? How many times have you been World Champion? Edge got pissed as Hayes told him the math won t take long, zero! Edge got Hayes mic cut as Hayes told him it s time to go. Edge teased Hayes to hit him. Edge said Hayes doesn t have his best friend Terry Gordy anymore, oh wait, Terry Gordy s dead. Hayes looked pissed and called Edge a son of a b—h and said the only reason he has this show is because he s banging Matt Hardy s ex girlfriend! Edge then nailed Hayes and Slaughter, and then Hayes went for Edge but Lita got on his back and Edge nailed him with the briefcase! Edge and Lita stood over the fallen legends as he made his way to the back.

WWE Court:
Back in court and McMahon said the trail will continue and Coach called his next witness and it s a man who is no longer on the RAW roster, Simon Dean. Dean s music hit but he didn t come out and McMahon asked where the hell his witness is? The Boogeyman s music then hit and he raised from the stand with worms hanging out of his mouth. Boogeyman laughed and said Eric B, listen to me! As the time grows near, the future becomes clear, that you don t belong here! I m the Boogeyman, and I m coming to getcha! Boogeyman then knocked the clock over his own head and went back down and McMahon looked weirded out and Mick is sitting there eating cookies enjoying the whole thing!

Rita Cosby from MSNBC Live and Direct is shown in the crowd enjoying the show.

WWE Court:
Back in court and Foley calls his final witness, Maria! Maria said she wants Foley to ask her with Mr. Socko, and McMahon said it was ok. Foley put Socko on and he wants to know her honest opinion of Eric Bischoff. She said last week Bischoff abused his power and it s this rash discourse that has led to a locker room of disdain and it should be grounds for his immediate dismissal! Maria got smart!? Coach said he would like to call a final witness&but McMahon said we will adjourn and this will continue back in the arena.

A black limo pulled up and Vince and Stephanie emerged from it.

He said he d rather deal with the devil he knows, than the devil he don t know. McMahon said Triple H only wants Bischoff to stay because he can manipulate him. Vince then introduced Triple H to Stephanie and they shared a moment, smiling at each other, before we went to commercial.
In the arena:
Back on RAW and Foley took the mic and said Eric Bischoff has abused his power for too long. You ve got the truck, for the love of god, let s use it! It s time to take out the trash! Coach then went to speak but Bischoff took the mic. Bischoff said Vince may consider his tenure as GM as a joke, but he doesn t. He said since he s been here, he s done some terrible things, but before he came here he said controversy creates cash, and he has created a ton of both. He said he doesn t give a damn about the people, but he does care about the money, and he s proven time and time again that he knows how to separate the people from the cash. Proof? Two words, Elimination Chamber. It spiked buyrates and sold arenas and he s still the General Manager and he says we have the Elimination Chamber headline the next PPV for the WWE Title, and Vince knows it will sell. Bischoff said he and McMahon are a lot alike, maybe they are both hated, but more importantly, they are both respected. They got things done. Bischoff asked if he could please keep his job as General Manager and together they will make a fortune! McMahon said he made some good points, and then the music of John Cena hit in the arena as he made his way to the ring as the WWE Champion!
Cena got on the mic and said to relax, and said he isn t out here to tell him what he thinks of Bischoff, he thinks he s a jackoff. He said Bischoff claims he is a great man, but he has taken away the best part of Monday Night RAW. When Kurt Angle comes down to the ring, Bischoff is backstage with his finger on the button and he bleeps out the fans when they say you suck because Bischoff doesn t like it. He said McMahon is a pioneer for free speech and he s dressed in a robe and looks ridiculous and he s loving it, and Bischoff is a pioneer for censorship. Cena then introduces us to ten thousand surprise witnesses. Cena sits on the top rope and asks them if Eric Bischoff should remain the General Manager, and they booed. He then asked if they want to see him fired, and they cheered. Cena said the people have summed up Bischoff s career in two letters. FU. McMahon said he will take it to the people and asks them if they want to see the WWE Championship defended in an Elimination Chamber, and it got a decent reaction, so at the next PPV, New Year s Revolution, the WWE Title will be on the line in the Elimination. Everyone will see, but unfortunately for Bischoff, he won t! ERIC BISCHOFF&YOU RE FIRRRRRRRRRRRED!!!! Cena then gave Bischoff then FU in the middle of the ring and then sent him to the outside. McMahon then helped Bischoff up and picked him up and threw him into the back of the garbage truck and it started compacting and McMahon then got in the truck and took out the trash!
