You almost tricked me with the results but little word to the wise, trying to sneak in that a new signing would be booked 50/50 within two weeks of debut, or that a guy literally just introduced on Raw as a dangerous new threat to the tag division would get squashed in a singles match on the developmental brand 2 days later...? You gotta make it at least semi-believable, Cavauro!

  • HHH came out to his old Evolution theme and cut a promo on the ramp saying that "evolution is indeed a mystery" and revealing that he himself had recently evolved the ability to pull himself along in shallow tidal areas to exploit otherwise unused nutritional niches. He continued saying it was hard but he's a man who "does the impossible" and closed saying that he hoped that millions of years from now his descendants would conquer all terrestrial habitats.
  • Squash match between Braun Strowman and recent NXT callup Jesse Jacobferson. Strowman dominated throughout but won with a schoolboy roll up which confused the crowd.

THE MANY TELEVISED CRIMES OF STONE COLD STEVE AUSTIN!
Stone Cold Steve Austin wasn't adverse to breaking a law or 50 when it came time to stomping a mudhole and walking it dry, but which of these are actual televised crimes he committed and which are just plain outright lies?

- Practiced medicine without a license
- Driving under the influence
- Vehicular Assault
- Bicycle theft
- Hostage taking
- Performing in blackface
- Beating up a woman (on television, we already know it's true he did it in real life)
- Public urination
- Car vandalism
- Cockfighting
- Brawling in a public space
- Property damage
- Waterway littering
- Sharking/debagging
- Threatening with a firearm
- Crashing a family reunion
- Vandalization of a Church
- Attempted murder

Bonus points if you can provide video evidence of the truth! Bonus bonus points if you pick the exact video I was thinking of. You can use these points to buy yourself a warm sense of accomplishment :)

I'm pretty sure those are all accurate crimes committed by Steve Austin, the latter I just don't know what it is (google tells me it's the removal of pants as joke???) so it might be something I just didn't realize Steve Austin did. The former I feel would be more a Steve Austin talking point, like how Triple H and DX have performed in blackface.

I think my mass effect is broken
- Practiced medicine without a license
When he attacked Vince in the hospital in 98

- Vehicular Assault
Survivor Series 2000?

- Hostage taking
- Attempted murder
- Threatening with a firearm
Pretty sure this is all from the same episode, when he took McMahon hostage after he got storyline fired, in October 1998. The Bang 3:16 one.


- Performing in blackface
I hope this one isn't true.


- Beating up a woman (on television, we already know it's true he did it in real life)
I believe he's stunnered Stacy Keibler, Linda McMahon and at least one of Mae Young or Moolah on TV.


- Public urination
In 05 I think when he was "Raw Sheriff," he jumped and "pissed" on Arn Anderson. Poor Arn.

- Car vandalism
Is this when he poured concrete into Vince's limo? I think he also destroyed one of Rock's car's with a monster truck in 1999, around Mania or Backlash that year. Or when he blew up the DX Express.

- Cockfighting
Dunno about this one.

- Brawling in a public space
When Rock chucked him off a bridge?

- Property damage
Quite a few examples. Didn't he leave a massive pile of poo poo in Vince's office when he was CEO?

- Waterway littering
Hey now, the IC title still meant something then. Or is it Angle's fake medals?

- Sharking/debagging
I'm pretty sure this would have involved Vince.

- Crashing a family reunion
Probably attacked Undertaker and Kane at the same time in 1998. Were Shane and Vince in the ring when the beer bath happened?

- Vandalization of a Church
Is this when he interrupted Undertaker's attempt at forcibly marrying Steph?

His famous hospital assault I'm assuming he got into costume and did the assault, there wasn't a time he ran a medical practice, was there? Or they didn't give back story that he'd been at the hospital all day?
- Driving under the influence
Constantly
- Vehicular Assault
Hitting.... Rock with his car?
- Bicycle theft
Not that I recall
- Hostage taking
Probably. Against Bret maybe?
- Performing in blackface
No?
- Beating up a woman (on television, we already know it's true he did it in real life)

Let's assume he hosed up McMahon car at some point, that sounds about right
- Cockfighting
I loving hope not, the 90s weren't that long ago
- Brawling in a public space
Constantly
- Property damage
Constantly. I assume he hosed up an office or two
- Waterway littering
Title in the river
- Sharking/debagging
I assume so
- Threatening with a firearm
McMahon in the ring pissing himself
- Crashing a family reunion
The worst of crimes

He smashed a lot of vehicles with his own vehicles, and he got run over once, but I don't recall any time he actually hit somebody with a vehicle himself.

To be fair this was a trick question. There's a show where Austin is the acting CEO of WWE (of course) and dumps manure in the boardroom, then it appears he's pissing openly on the pile of poo poo before they reveal he's just pouring out beer.

I hope you all enjoy your warm sense of accomplishment :)

Also, maybe he committed some of these crimes that I thought I made up! If you can think of anything that fits a crime I said Austin didn't commit, post a video or a screenshot and prove ME the liar! Your reward will be an even warmer sense of accomplishment!

According to spoilers, in an attempt to reverse cratering ratings numbers, the upcoming episode of RAW will feature Dave Batista. Apparently he spends almost the entirety of the three hours standing in the ring listing household objects that do not hold grudges, as matches and promo segments continue around him.

Here are the Raw results.... mostly:

Raw Results 5/4:
  • An interview segment didn't have enough seats for everybody.
  • WWE booked a match where nobody knew who was in it or how long it would run for or when it would end.
  • A wrestler got kicked out of a match for kicking too much rear end.
  • That same wrestler hung around at ringside sarcastically protesting the entire rest of the match.
  • A big star just kind of showed up again after a lengthy absence with no explanation.
  • A wrestler visibly struggled with the math of who was better than who on the roster.
  • Jobbers defeated stars in a tag team match.
  • There's a "happy room" for over-agitated wrestlers to relax in now.
  • A wrestler has a new move where he gets thrown high into the air and lands directly on his ankles, then turns around and waits for applause that never comes.
  • A tag team who said that they were superior in every way to the tag champions... defeated the tag champions. The match was not for the tag titles.
  • There's also a spooky music fog room now for wrestlers to make ominous statements in.
  • A wrestler with recent back-to-back wins got fed to a bigger star to make the star look good before an upcoming title match.
  • The top babyface defeated a henchman of the top heel, which seemed to surprise the top heel.
  • The top babyface got jumped from behind in an empty arena by a guy he'd just challenged to come into the ring and fight him.
  • The top babyface ended up standing tall in the go-home show before his title defense at the PPV.

Can you guess which of these are true, and which are (CNN voice) misleading, seemingly inaccurate statements that do not hold up to closer scrutiny?

It's been awhile, let's do this again!

Which of these results from the latest Raw are real, and which are made up (one of them is a gimme):

- A former Universal Champion is now relegated to interviewer status.
- A major title changed hands on the show.
- A wrestler's sudden retirement was just casually mentioned off-hand.
- One of the talent was wearing werewolf make-up.
- A wrestler took a phonecall in the middle of an interview.
- A wrestler found a portal from which they could retrieve multiple consumable items.
- One of the wrestlers has developed a fetish for eyes.
- Ricochet wrestled a match and won.
- Three wrestlers who have all lost their most recent matches fought for a shot at the title. One of the losers won.
- One of the wrestlers has decided they need to just take time and like, find themselves, maaaan.
- Strict adherence to social distancing rules were thrown out the window at the last second.
- Vince McMahon is still adamant that nobody takes a knee.
- Two wrestlers complained about how two other wrestlers were given endless opportunities without earning them, pointed out these other two wrestlers hadn't beaten them, then beat up the two other wrestlers when they came out to get in their faces. The two triumphant wrestlers are very good friends and love and support each other. They are the heels in this situation.
