This one will blow you away.

Raw Theme Plays.

We are live in the former home of Elliot Spitzer's pants - Albany, New York. Ripping things up tonight, Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler are ready to rock out with their jocks out. If for no other reason than the explosive Highlight Reel featuring Shawn Michaels and Dave Batista. Will Deacon Dave follow Reverend D-Von's words of forgiveness and offer his hand of friendship to Shawn Michaels? If not, will HBK pay the price for ending Ric Flair's career four years later than he should have? There's only one way to find out. We're rocking. We're rolling. Get set to start scrolling. It's Raw, baby! Now let's go down to Raw ring announcer and my baby momma, Lillian Garcia (JG Note: That's a secret. Shhhh.)

Lillian immediately introduces the Raw General manager William Regal, and his bouncy hair. Willie tells us that he's made some decisions about the upcoming pay-per-view. With that, he introduces the first part of the Backlash main event. He's hip. He's cool. He's the champion of the spinny world, Randy Orton! Ring. Ring.

Please leave a message for - "Yo! Randy Orton, son!" - at the beep.

BEEP!

Randy. It's dad. Look. All I'm going to say is this. I spent a lot of time knitting you that fringe cowboy vest for Easter. You said you might wear it on TV and it's like, where is it? I don't see it. Also, where's the damn pink cowboy hat I gave you for Christmas? You best show some appreciation, boy! That's it. Kisses to you, pumpkin. Bye.

Once Dandy Randy is in the ring, Slick Willie brings out the man he will be facing...

John....

Bradshaw Layfield.

Oh snap. Everyone gasped when he said John. I think they expected him to say John Schneider from the Dukes of Hazzard. I know I was. Once JBL finally gets into the ring, he puts his purplish-red face right in front of the Champion...and offers his hand in friendship.

Regal steps in when the gesture goes unanswered. He starts to talk about something pointless when the boss's son-in-law decides to blow through like a hurricane. Triple H's music rings out and the Game slowly stalks the squared circle. Once inside, he looks around as if he's confused about how he got there, which was sort of weird. After the bizarre look to the crowd, the King of Cartoons finally speaks.

"Don't take this wrong because I mean this with all due respect. Are you out of your friggin mind? This is the main event for Backlash? I know I was busy last week with Ric Flair's retirement, but I must have missed something along the way. While Randy Orton said he was finished with me, that's a bit odd because Randy did win the match at WrestleMania, he didn't really beat anyone. Did ya randy? OK. Well if you did, then what was that big move you hit Cena with before you got the 1,2,3? Oh that's right you didn't do anything, did ya? No. What you did was take advantage of a situation. Take a cheap shot and get lucky enough to fall on Cena for the win. If that's not bad enough. Explain this to me. How does a guy that spent the last two years retired as an announcer on Smackdown and since he's been back his biggest claim to fame is smacking around a midget become number one contender?" - Triple H

The Regal Beagle relents...as he always does, the big pushover. He offers Terra Ryzin a shot at getting a shot at the title. If he defeats Randy Orton and John Layfield tonight, then he goes into the main event at Backlash. The heels are obviously upset. Then Lord Willie gives the second half of his statement. It makes no sense.

"But if you lose, you're out!"
              - William Regal.

To be honest, I have no idea what the hell William is talking about. Out of what? Out of the closet? Out of conditioner? Out of control? (Hern Berford Note: Hey! Cut - it - out, Diz!) We don't get a clear cut explanation as we roll a commercial.

At this point, there's two reasons for Val Venis to be on TV. Either he's there to get someone over or score an upset win. I'll give you three minutes to guess who jobbed here. Goodbye...ladies....

Text your meaningless opinions to WWE right now. Do you think that Shawn Michaels wears funny hats? Waste some money and tell us about it, you cell phone addict.

Still to come: Chris Jericho's talk show welcomes the Rockers dude and that guy who everyone says got the vampire chick fired.

Commercial Break. Plainly put - Mr. Show was awesome..

Jillian Hall seems to have gone through the Stepford Diva makeover. She's all generic now with no sign of doing the Brooke Hogan gimmick. It's been a few weeks and I have to be straight up. I don't think Ashley's punk deal is working. It seems fake as hell. American Idol has someone like her every year - a girl that colors her hair all wild and wears outfits that say, "In your face, Mr. and Mrs. America!" But behind it all, it's desperation. That's how it comes off. Also, that crap she has pierced in her face is pretty off-putting. No matter though.  Ash didn't finish off her foes, Mickie did. With Melina under her arm, James let out that primal scream thing and hit a DDT. Mel was knocked silly and out for the count.

Up next... footage from last week on Raw. We had a n ice little narrative. Beginning, middle, and end. Some friends become enemies, some enemies become friends. At the end your main character is richer from the experience. Yeah. Yeah. You need to stay tuned.

April 5th, 2009, WrestleMania 25 will be from Houston. In the Mania tradition, WWE is using the outdated and ten year old "Cowboy" as it's theme song. It's the same song that Jeff Jarrett was ripping off in WCW eight years ago. It's better than Huey Lewis, I suppose.

London and Kendrick should turn heel. That might be what they need. Maybe if WWE added the element of cheating to their arsenal, then they'd be able to get them over more. That's the thing. They don't want to put over two tiny guys clean. So - make 'em bad. Let Paul get a win after a chairshot or two...or three. Whatever. It would also get their personalities out a bit more. In the meantime, they're both playing the same 1,2,3 Kid gimmick. Trevor Murdoch had a bizarre tan that Jerry Lawler called attention to. He asked about Murdoch's orange color and wondered how it came about. He had a point. Trev, known early on for being pale and chubby, is now fitter and, uh, oranger. It's like, what happened to your gimmick, dude? The gimmick was the least of our problems though. After a botched powerbomb, Lance ends up bouncing Kendrick's head on the mat hard. Relentless, he grabs at the kid again and nails it one more time, setting up the finish. When Trevor strolls over, he's rolled up for the pin. Spanky gets the win and the cowboys argue with each other about - I don't know - politics or something.

Randy Orton is getting his boots adjusted when John Bradshaw Layfield walks in. Luckily, Orton has his pants on and there's no soap around. That said, Randall lets his reluctant handicapped partner know the deal. Team JBLRKO can go over HHH, but only if you keep out of the Legend Killer's way. Got it, Blackjack Bitchass? Good.

Commercial Break. Mush Mouth!

4. Triple H defeated Randy Orton and JBL via pinfall on Orton

Jerry Lawler mentions that Triple H hasn't had a title match against Randy Orton since No Way Out, thus proving that at least someone is keeping track of these things now. This match was done to further a situation rather than get a great reaction. After all, what do you want from a handicap match? There's only so many stories you can tell there. Either the outnumbered guy gets his butt kicked and wins or the outnumbered guy gets his butt kicked and loses. Or...if the outnumbered guy is a giant of sorts, he wins in record time. Trips isn't Andre, but he ain't about to go down like a punk either. Despite taking a vicious beating at the hands of Acolegend Killers, Helmsley refused to fall. He battled back from sleepers and chinlocks before he finally hit his running knee thingamabob. The crowd didn't pop much and Bradshaw ate a few hits in the process. This only lead to dissension. John ran in for the clothesline from hell and his partner tagged himself in as he bounced off the ropes. Layfield stared Randall down, but it didn't affect the WWE Champion. He turned his sites on the Game and tried to land the RKO...only to be shoved into his partner. Johnny BL and Cowboy Bob's kid fell into each other, Trips nailed the Champ with a Pedigree, and got the victory.

Triple H is heading to Backlash! He's getting a spot in the WWE Title match!  Hip, hip, hurrah! William Regal comes in to formally announce the whole deal, but is cut off by...

Dummmmmmm.....Dummmmmm.....Dummmmmm.....L-l-l-l-l-l-l-l-l-l-l-l-l....... SHABADOO!

John Cena is here and he's got some things to say, booooyyyeeeeeee! Look, Triple H. Dr, Thuggy beat you. He also beat you, JBL, for his first WWE Title. Oh! And he beat Randy Orton too. Johnny C. knows how to do his thang, kid.

With that, the Marine launches into a standup act that goes over like reruns of the Michael Richards Show on BET. Something about Orton liking gay sex. Not sure. It was lame. Anyway, this all leads to Cena's big demand. Make that Backlash match a Fatal Fourway! Do that, Willie! Do it!

Now, as I mentioned earlier, William Regal never says no. This time, he agrees again as long as John can defeat Triple "H-ay-ch" and John Bradshaw Layfield in yet another handi-friggin-match. The two new partners look at each other, stunned over the booking of this match...and how easy it is to get what you want out of the Raw G.M. (JG Note: Seriously. I'm ready to ask for a title match at this point.)

Still to come: Shiny Vest. Shiny Trunks. Shiny Chaps.

Commercial Break. The soft drink that will whoop that ass.

Bob...Bob... Tell me. Tell me.

Tell ya what, Cody?

Tell me you love me more than you did Bart Gunn.

Geez almighty. I'm not having this weird conversation with you again.

WHY WON'T YOU LOVE ME?!

Bob Holly and Cody Rhodes hit the ring. They're wearing some weird belts I don't recognize as we welcome Carlito Cool and his partner.

Santino Marella Untrue Fact: "Santino Marella" is Italian for "miniature Santa Claus-shaped pasta."

5. Santino Marella and Carlito Cool defeated Cody Rhodes and Bob Holly in a non-title match.

Cody Rhodes and Bob Holly suck. I'm sorry, but what the hell? They continue to give non-title matches and lose. When will they put the belts up? If this were The Hart Foundation doing this, Gorilla Monsoon would have gone crazy! Instead, it's the American Offspring and Speed Racer, so no only gets angry. If I were Santino and Calino, I'd run to Willie Regal and demand a title match. They have a valid point. Even so, that doesn't matter. He gives title shots to friggin everyone anwway.  Seriously, though.  What's going on with the losing, Hardcore Dreams?

Commercial Break. Fred Simmons knows best.

Cryme Tyme is back. They're doing the same shtick they did before they left. They're auctioning off junk they stole. The punchline is that JTG thinks he has a pair of Kim Kardashian's underwear. He learns it belongs to Mae Young. Ha ha ha. Ho ho ho. Hee hee hee. Just like the olden days, it's all clichéd and goes nowhere.

Last week, Great Khali and Big Show went face to face. You couldn't hear what they were saying, but I think Khali was mad at Show for using his rouge. Then on Friday, Biggie used his bad breath to scare the Great one away.

Triple H is getting his wristband adjusted when John Bradshaw Layfield walks in. Luckily, Hunter has his pants on and there's no soap around. That said, Triple lets his nervous handicapped partner know the deal. Team JBLHHH can go over RKO, but Hunter doesn't want to hear your nonsense. Got it, Blackjack Bitchass? Good.

6. Beth Phoenix pinned Maria after the Fisherwoman's Suplex

Beth Phoenix is from Buffalo, New York. Weird, right? You'd think she'd be from, well, you know. Clad in a Mortal Kombat-like green outfit, Beth found herself out punched by the Playboy bunny early. Maria opened up with kicks, but eventually fell to B.P.'s awesome galamzonian power. She knocked the small deever from the ring and back in again. Bethy then applied Walls of Jericho type Boston Crab which turned into a backbreaker. But even that couldn't keep Santino Marella's ex-lady down. She fought back valiantly and continuously caught dramatic near falls. Fairy tales rarely come true in real life though...or fake life.  You know what I mean. Beth hit the Fisherwoman's Suplex and got the pinfall. Short, but so far, best match, believe it or not.

Shawn Michaels...Dave Batista....who's cheesier? The Cheesemesiter himself, Chris Jericho, finds out next!

Commercial Break.  The Great American Bash will be at Nassau Coliseum.  We look forward to booing the wrong people and messing up the entire rhythm of the show.  You're welcome.

Don. I'm worried about the harness. I expressed it to Judy in the office too. You sure I can hang off this building and these cables will hold me? I don't want to fall as he swing my hammer to demolish this thing?

Come on. You know I got ya. Yeah. Break the walls down.

You sure?

Break down the walls!

Fine. Jerk...

The King of Bling Bling, Chris Jericho, is in the house. He wastes a few minutes by introducing both Dave Batista and Shawn Michaels separately. I save a few virtual-trees by conserving virtual-paper and condensing that into one paragraph. One item of note, Batista dresses like he's a 17 year old boy band dude. HBK dresses like an aging country music singer.

Chris Jericho asks Shawn right away about his deal with Ric Flair. Hey, Boy Toy. What up with Ric Flair? You beat him and now, he's gone. Michaels defends his actions and reminds everyone that Flair asked for this. The Rocker has a valid point, but that's not the issue here. What's the issue? I dunno. Let's watch video footage! YAY!

Clip of Shawn Michaels pinning Ric Flair. Less tears this time around.

Y2J turns that footage into a tender story. He asks about the match closing words exchanged. Remember telling the Nature Boy that you're sorry? Awww. What a fruity little show of love. Was that legit, Kid? Did you mean it? The Degenerate claims that he did...but Dave Batista doesn't.

Blue Blocker Batista tells the Heartbreak Kid that he's full of beans. You ain't sorry. You ain't nothing! This pisses off the Source of All Strength. He tells Dave that he could have stepped up and tried to talk Slick Ric out of getting his career iced... but didn't. Even worse, you have jealousy in your eyes, Tista! That's right. Those eyes right there wish they had the chance that the Rocker had. You wish you could have had Ric's final contest at Mania. But he didn't ask you. Know why? Cause you're a sucker, that's why.

"Look at these hand, Dave. LOOK AT THEM! There's so much blood on these hands....Some of it I'm proud of. Some of it I'm not. And despite what you think, WrestleMania was the toughest night of my career."
                                 - Shawn Michaels

"Shawn, it was because of all these battles. It was because of all that blood on those hands that I trusted you. I trusted you to do the right thing." - Dave Batista

Batista vows to never make that mistake again. No more trust, Walker Texas Ranger. You're done. HBK takes off his coat and tells his foe to come get some. Instead, David mysteriously smiles and says, "I already have." Uh oh. No idea what that means. Maybe he peed in Shawn's shampoo. That would be anticlimactic...but also kind of funny at the same time.

Backstage, William Regal gets off the phone with Vicki Guerrero and tells Randy Orton, who's standing next to him,  the good news. At Backlash, it's Shawn Michaels vs. Batista. Yay! Randy doesn't' care about that. He's mad about seeing how his title picture has become overexposed. What up with that, William? How about some respect for the WWE Champion, Douchy Doodle? You down with that? Angry, the GM tells the young champ that he will defend his title against all comers. In fact, next week Raw is British as we emanate from London. That night, Will is going to be doing things the Double J way. In other words, he's giving himself a title match! Ha. Choke on that, ya bloody Slapnuts!

The whole night had a treadmill feel and Backlash ends up with such a muddy main event that's hard to really focus on. Any one of these opponents (Hunter, Cena, JBL) would have been able to main event against Orton. Even Layfield would have sold when bolstered with Michaels-Batista and Hunter-Cena on the card. Instead, it's like a picture you start painting, then change a little. Then more. Then a bit more. Before long, you have a giant mess. That's what this turned into. Plus, by mixing up everyone in different match variations reminds me of Taco Bell mixing up the same four ingredients over and over again and calling it different names.

Batista is like the little kid who blames the doctor for letting grandma die.  Don't get me wrong, I like the feud.  I think that Dave is coming off as stubborn, childish, and ridiculous though.  Given how most fans view him, I'd say that's a good character to play up for him actually.

Santino Marella is now teaming with Carlito? If last week was the blow-off to his diva feud deal, then count me in on the disappointed side. Mama mia. Tha's nah cool!

Speaking of the tag division, I can't remember the last time the tag scene was so full and so unexciting at once. Cryme Tyme? More like Tyme Warp. London and Kendick are good, but it's hard to believe they'll have a sustained push. Cody and Holly can't win. Murdoch and Cade look like they might be break up. Wheee. Let the good times roll. All we need now is Super Crazy and that old guy, Hacksaw Jim Duggan That's it. Things aren't too exciting on Raw right now. Hopefully next week will be. We'll find out then.

For those wondering, my wife and I are entering the final weeks before the birth of our daughter. It's amazing how quickly time goes by and I can't believe it's almost the end of May already. I'll keep you guys updated on how things go from here. Thanks to all of you for your kind thoughts and emails. I really appreciate them.

That does it for me. Remember to check out and come back on Wednesday to ClubWWI for our big uncut shoot. You don't want to miss this one, guys. Be well! Thanks for sharing my insanity.
