As the show begins we see old black and white footage from the golden age of wrestling, possibly Lou Thez

"Yes sir we promise you a great main event..." a voice says before we see more images of Terry Funk, Dusty Rhodes and Dr. S

"ANDREEE THE GIAAANT.." roars Vince McMahon back in his 80's announcer role as we see the legendary giant

"WRESTLEMAAAAANIA"

We see Rowdy Roddy Piper, the Iron Sheik and of course Hulk Hogan

"HULKAMANIA IS RUNNIN WILD BROTHER"

Bret Hart throws out his arms as Shawn Michaels cradles the WWE Championship, SA standing atop the Hell in a Cell cage and the Undertaker bowing to the urn

"Reeeest in pea..." the Undertaker begins but doesn't get to finish as we hear JR say

"My God what a ma.." Ross is cut off by the Rock

"HIF YA SMELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL"

"You're Fiiiiiiired"

the glass shatters CRAAAASH

"GIMME A HELL YEAH" roars Stone Cold as JR warns

"Its not over..." and ends on

"THE WORLD IS WATCHING..." as images of Nightmare, Nathan James, Undertaker, Randy Orton and more fuse together until the screen blacks out, the WWE logo and words "World Wrestling Entertainment" appearing on screen before we fade away to the opening video.

"GO!!!!!!!!!!!!" screams the singer, the images coming thick and fast, CM Punk rolling his wrists, Randy Orton cutting his familiar pose, Kane, Forxx and Assassin roaring into the camera

"Take your past and burn it up and let it go... carry on, I'm stronger than you'll ever know.... that's the deal, you get no respect..."

John Morrison drapes himself over the ropes, Jeff Hardy pumps his arms and Vince McMahon's face fills with fury

"You're gunna get yours, you'd better watch your f'kin neck..."

William Regal gets into his fighting stance, Triple H throws his arms back on the apron, water shooting up into the air

"I WANT DOMMMMINATION.... I WANT YOUR SUBMMMMISSION...."

We see Melina give us her unique under the rope entrance, John Cena scoring with his Five Knuckle Shuffle

"I GOTTA ROLL THE DICE... NEVER LOOK BACK AND NEVER THINK TWWWICE...."

We see Orton again give his pose, on stage this time, Primal roaring and again we're back among the skyscrapers and now down in the streets with the cars

"WOAH-OH-OHHHH, I NEVER GIVE IN..."

Venus Vulu shakes her ass and we see Mr Kennedy with his mic

"WOAH-OH-OHHHH, I NEVER GIVE UP..."

Rey Mysterio leaps into the air for the 619, Ryan Simmons hits the Shining Wizard while Maria salutes the fans

"WOAH-OH-OHHHH, I NEVER GIVE IN..."

Santino plays the air trumpet before we go to the image of The Gathering and finally The Undertaker bathed in purple light

"I JUST WANNA BE, WANNA BE LOVVVVVED...!" finishes the music, the camera shooting down onto the roof of Madison Square Garden where the Raw logo has been superimposed, the images quickly fading into the arena where explosion after explosion rips across the stage, the camera zooming in on the pyro before shooting into the crowd

"WE WELCOME YOU TOT HE SOLD OUT WOLSTEIN CENTER HERE IN CLEVELAND OHIO... WE WELCOME YOU TO A POTENTIALLY HISTORIC NIGHT HERE ON RAW..." blares the now familiar tones of Michael Cole, the bell ringing out as we see Lillian Garcia already in the ring....
