This week our resident head shaker provides his thoughts on RAW's 15th anniversary show, WWE's contract extension with USA Network, injuries in Mexico, Japan's award winners for 2007, plus ZAH gives his Nostrodamus-esque predictions for tonight's Armageddon PPV!

Plus, it's a WWE Hall of Famer Double Header this week!

Hunter was waving his hand in McMahon's face when he said, "Can't see me" It was pretty funny. Unfortunately, it didn't make up for the dated "Liberace" reference. He was at WrestleMania 1, man. Come on. Update your stuff. Seeing how far gone his father-in-law was, Hunt opted to do the honorable thing and apologize. He wanted to make amends for all he has done. It just doesn't come out as it should.

At this point, Lord William Regal can take no more. He orders Helmsley out of the ring. He even threatens to have security come down and back him up. Rather than throw a punch, Hunter does what he came for. He makes dated jokes and references. When Vinnie Mac reaches his feet, the fallen chairman speaks…in tongues.

Seriously. After babbling for a bit, he finally speaks in a hardcore gravel voice. It was like he was trying to do an impression of Demolition Ax. Demolition Mac addressed Regal.

Will asked the owner if she could call security as well. He was told no. There's another plan in play tonight.

He pointed to the crowd during that last part. Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler once again show that they're either much more perceptive than I am or else they're psychic because they both guess that this match is happening next. Considering that McMahon just made the match based solely on recent events and never mentioned a time it would happen, you have to wonder how the announce team knows. Spooky.

Commercial Break. Color computers are for pimps.

Jerry Lawler calls the opening half hour of Raw the weirdest opening ever. Jim Ross agrees. I have no idea what they're talking about. Revisiting a Vince storyline that we did right before he blew up is a memorable open? What about when the arena lost power for seven minutes? What about the Raw that had the Spanish feed on for the first five minutes? Weird is debatable, King. As for the match, this was like a tuxedo match/street fight. William Regal and John Coachman were fully clad in their business duds for the whole thing. Regal didn't even unbutton his vest. Now that's a hardcore Englishman. Very classy, His Lordship. Know what's not classy? Brass knuckles. William grabs them from the corner of the ring and palms them. He never got to use them though. Reeg ended up caught in a Spinebuster, sending the knux flying to Coachman. Jonathan slipped them on but didn't get to use them either as he was quickly busted. Triple caught the assistant GM red (or brass) handed and knocked him in the head with them. JC rubbed his bald head in pain and it was the perfect setup for the Pedigree. You can count until the cows come home. Well, if the cows were coming home in three seconds, that is.

Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler are mad at JBL. Do you know what he did last night? Do you? Get this. He kicked Chris Jericho in the face as retaliation for an accidental ringside scuffle. What a Bitter Betty.

Tonight, Chris Jericho has challenged JBL to confront him on Raw. Will he? Jericho Bradshaw Live! Stay tuned.

Commercial Break. I never forgave E.T. for making this.

3. World Tag Team Champions Cody Rhodes and Bob Holly defeated Lance Cade and Trevor Murdoch when Cody pinned Cade

Lance Cade's tights give me a headache. I don't know what the hell it is, but it's just too much. He looks like he got caught in a giant net. As for his partner, Trevor Murdoch, he looks like he's getting in better shape each week. Given that he wants to do moves like the Canadian Destroyer, it only makes sense. Good for Trevor. It could only help. As for the match, Bob Holly got to do his thing here. He took the beating while an antsy Cody bounced up on the apron. When Hardcore finally made the tag, Code ran in and exploded! The crowd, well, did the opposite. No reaction for the heroic comeback, but that didn't stop the young Rhodes boy. The match seemed to be pretty stiff for a while too. J.R. eventually confirmed it in a way by saying that he loved the "smashmouth stuff." (JG Note: Not really a big fan of that stuff, personally. "Hey now. You're an all star. Get the show on. Get…" blah. I hate that song.) The mouth-smashing came to an end when Codedust hit Cade with a DDT for the pinfall. Ding. Ding. Ding. Three matches so far. Two end by pinfall after a DDT. Uh. They're supposed to care about that, right?

Commercial Break. Buy a Polaroid. Santa will like you.

Ric Flair showed up on the ramp and reiterated when he said three weeks ago. No retiring for the Nature Boy. He then addresses Mr. McMahon's ultimatum. Rather than treating the nutty boss as an enemy, Flair addresses him as a concerned old man. Vince allowed Ric to wrestle in WWE and Naitch appreciates that. He knows that Big Mac is just trying to avoid an injury on his watch. Didn't realize that was the reason. That's cool, though. Flair gets it, but "walking away is not an option in my life." He puts it like this:

Oh-Maga and Um-ahn-ga. Nice. After vowing to put up the fight of his life, Slick Ric thanks the crowd on the off chance that he loses. I hope this whole storyline doesn't mean he's going to do a speech like this before every match.

Although Ric Flair already came out to the ring, he gets a second intro after the break. Ross pumps the ratings and Samoa Jamal comes'a'growlin'.

Jerry Lawler wonders if this is the last chapter in "the life of Ric Flair."  Yikes.  J.R. says it doesn't feel like the right time of year to watch a man fight for his career. All that aside, Flair has a job to do. He has to make it through the "Human Bulldozer" and emerge with his job in tact. At first, it doesn't look good for him. Oh-uhmangia went to town on The Nature Boy, hitting him with chops and throws. Ric was little challenge when it came to fisticuffs, so he ended up on the receiving end of lots of punishment. Maga slapped on a nerve hold and Naitch sold it as if he was screaming "Stella." Umi followed up with some kicks to the sternum and an Irish Whip. The Horseman mounted a comeback for a brief period. He hit some knife edges and let out a "Woo," but the Samoan Drop shut that noise up. It lead to a series of near falls by 1 ½ Minute Warning and left Ross wondered how the former Evolutionary could kick out of each attempt. We also ponder what type of internal injuries he could have and say a silent prayer for his well being. When the action spills outside the ring, it seems that all is darkest. Umanny puts Flair against the ringside barricade. He then backs up and prepares to slam his huge ass into Ric's face. Luckily for Slick Ric's face, he's able to roll out of the way and The Bulldozer's huge ass went straight through barricade instead (JG Note: Just like when Goldberg Speared his then-partner Rosie a few years ago.) It looked pretty cool. Mr. I Don't Want To Retire doesn't have to retire. He makes it into the ring and leaves Jamala to be counted out.

Commercial Break.
