An angry Eric Bischoff was in the ring to start the show. He ordered everyone in the Raw locker room to the ring, because they let him down. No one came out, so Bischoff threatened to go backstage and fire the first person he saw. Vince McMahon came out instead, and said no one would be fired. Vince said that he told the Raw superstars they did not have to come out, because this was about Bischoff and not them. Vince pointed out Bischoff promised Raw would beat Smackdown, Bischoff would beat Teddy Long, and Kurt Angle would beat John Cena. None of those things happened, making Bischoff a failure.

Vince said that Bischoff had some success in WCW before he burned it to the ground, and he doesnt want Bischoff to do that to Raw. Vince added Bischoffs record sucks. Too bad he didnt cut this promo on himself, his daughter, and the abysmal writing team they have hired and cultivated. Vince said perception is reality, and if people see Bischoff as a failure, they will see Raw and Vince as failures.

Vince gave Bischoff an ultimatum: set a goal and achieve it tonight. Bischoff said that isnt easy and wanted Vince to reconsider. He said Vince would have trouble replacing him, so Vince brought out Shane. Shane got a face reaction, said he has never liked Bischoff, and looks forward to seeing him go. Shane said he could replace Bischoff and was born to do the job.

He told Flair to stay down, and said Ric Flair is gone. Flair isnt wanted anymore.

She says he abused his power last week. Her whole ditzy routine, and ditzy voice drops and she says, Last week, Eric Bischoffoff abused his power in a way that was malicious and capricious.

She has a very confident and intellectual look in her eyes while she's speaking. She then turns back into ditzy Maria who doesn't have two brain cells to rub together.

RAW Preview for 12/26 from WWE.com

Fresh off of RAWs Tribute to the Troops, it will be a night of many questions when Monday Night RAW rolls into Bridgeport, Conn.

Two weeks ago, Kurt Angle announced that he would not be going to Afghanistan for RAW's Tribute to the Troops because he didn't feel like he should represent a country that disrespects him. This week, Angle will make another major announcement. What will the Olympic Gold Medalist have to say?

Also two weeks ago, Triple H interfered in the Big Show vs. Shawn Michaels Elimination Chamber Qualifying Match, whacking HBK with a chair to get Show disqualified. Big Show later gained revenge, helping his partner Kane defeat The Game to also qualify for the Chamber. HBK got his revenge, defeating Triple H in a Boot Camp Match last week. Will these three Superstars be at each others throats again in Bridgeport?

After firing Eric Bischoff on Dec. 5, Mr. McMahon announced two weeks ago that he would be the interim General Manager of RAW. That night, several WWE Superstars expressed their interest in the job. Will Mr. McMahon have any new information on who will possibly succeed Bischoff?

So far, the Elimination Chamber is set for New Years Revolution, and Trish Stratus will defend the Womens Championship against Mickie James on Jan. 8 as well. Will Mr. McMahon have anything more to announce about the first RAW pay-per-view of 2006?

For the answers to these questions and more, tune into the final Monday Night RAW of 2005 next Monday night at 9pm et, 8pm ct on the USA Network.

Then Show screwed him out of a title shot, now HHH has a problem. While HHH was fighting for everything, Show was getting everything handed to him. Show just stood there as a genetic marvel as HHH clawed his way to the top. The only reason people pay to see Show is because he's a circus side show freak.

He was thrown out of a lot of schools. All that for just fighting? That's crazy! When he was in school he just wished a teacher would tell him to go ahead, fight it out like men, get out all their aggression. Matt wants to teach children social grace.

Vince says history speaks for itself. Vince says he wants to ask the fans. Vince asks how many thinks Vince was right - Boos. Vince asks how many think Bret was wrong - cheers and boos. He says he tricked them to get what he wants. The way he tricked Bret back then to get what he wanted. HBK's music hits and he comes out. Vince tells HBK to tell us how they, together, screwed Bret. HBK says something quietly to Vince. Vince tells him to say it out loud. HBK says he won't defend Bret, no one would believe him. He's been asked over and over if he would do it again and he has consistently said he would. He did it then as he would now because of his loyalty to the WWE - then and now. It's one thing for Bret to live in that day and not let it go. But Vince should let it go. It's been 8 years. HBK's a dad, Vince is a grandfather. Shouldn't they both grow up and move on? Vince talks about the company moving on. He rattles off a lot of wrestlers names. One name is constant MacMahon. Does HBK want to move on? Vince could do that with a snap of his fingers. Does HBK want that? He now has responsibilities. He wouldn't want Vince to make him move on. There is no other place for HBK to go. There's not WCW. HBK like everyone else works for the man. And the man HBK works for is Vince. Vince says how HBK is now eating humble pie and is swallowing his pride. Everyone swallows their pride everyday when we all go to work. HBK will do as Vince tells him to do. He then slips and calls him Bret. Vince's New Year's Resolution is to not take any crap from anyone, at all. Vince says he screwed Bret Hart, don't make him screw HBK. They stare each other down and Vince tosses the mic away. Vince stops before leaving the ring and stares at HBK some more.
