JG's 10/8/07 Raw Insanity: Orton's Handshake Ends In Heartbreak, Umaga Eats The Game, and Hello...Snitsky

Monday Morning...8AM...

Randy Orton: Knock, knock. Hey Vince, you got a minute?
Mr. McMahon: Sure thing, Champ. Just finishing up some stuff online. Blogging. Emailing. Getting my Myspace on.
Orton: You're staring into the microwave.
McMahon: Can I help you with something?
Orton: Yeah. Actually, I have this list of things I'd like to have to go along with my title reign. I figured that since I'm now WWE Champion, it wouldn't be hard to hook a brutha up.
McMahon: Hook a brutha up? Uh. Fine. Let's see what you have here. (Taking paper) You wrote this yourself?
Orton: (smiling) Yes I did.
McMahon: You misspelled "Raw." How the hell did you manage to do that? There's no C in it.
Orton: Oh. I thought it was silent like "Czar" or "Zoo."
McMahon: What? No. Let's see what you have here. (reading though each point)
Yeah, this one isn't gonna happen... This isn't going to happen either... Stephanie won't do this...I'm not buying you a gun...I'm not buying you an airplane...I'm not buying you an airplane with a giant gun attached to it...Gotta say, kid. This is all pretty insane. What's this list of names here?
Orton: That's a list of new people I'd like to kick in the head on Raw.
McMahon: Jerry Lawler. Tim Meadows. Cousin Brucie. Julie Andrews...pretty sure she's dead. Kate Hudson. Tom Jenkins. Who's Tom Jenkins?
Orton: Kid I went to elementary school with. He stole my Kirby Puckett Topps rookie card from my desk.
McMahon: Uh. OK. (continuing to read) Tom Arnold. Imelda Marcos. The Jumping Bomb Angels. Wilford Brimley. Justine Bateman. Brian Sabatino. Brian Sabatino? Who's that? Another elementary school kid?
Orton: Yeah.
McMahon: God, Randy. How many people did you have problems with when you were a kid?
Orton: Huh? Oh. (chuckling) No. No. No. I didn't go to a elementary school with him. He's an actual kid in elementary school. Lives down the block from me. You should see him, man. Riding his f**kin' Big Wheels around like he owns the place.

McMahon: I don't think any of this is going to happen, kiddo. (reading on) What's this down here? You want your own interview segment called "Rated H2O" where you - is this right? Where you hold all the divas underwater?
Orton: Not all of them. Just the ones I listed.
McMahon: You listed all of them. In fact, some of these don't even work here anymore.
Orton: No. I left some off. What about that Kendrick chick?
McMahon: What? Kendrick chick?
Orton: Yeah. She's not on there.
McMahon: Brian Kendrick? He's a guy.
Orton: What? Shut up.
McMahon: Yeah. He's a guy.
Orton: You sure? Kendrick. The flat-chested girl. Short hair. Wears big shiny shorts.
McMahon: He's a dude, Randy.
Orton puts his head in his hands and stares at the floor.
McMahon: Oh no. What did you do to him? You didn't...?
Orton: I DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT!

McMahon: Fine. (continuing to read) Let's see what else we have here. Not going to give you a life-size action figure... Not going to paint a giant mural of you on the side of Hunter's bus...Your dad is already in the Hall of Fame...Not going to induct your mom into the Hall of Fame...Not going to rename Summerslam "Randy Orton Rules, Bitches"... Not gonna...What's this one? You want to put a shirt in a bucket and throw it at Candice Michele?
Orton: Huh? Oh. No. The "r" is silent.
Exhausted, Vince stares at Randy.
McMahon: Look. No. No. Whatever you're thinking, no. If I were you, I'd just try to keep under the radar. There's a certain bearded guy on Raw that's going to be breaking down our ratings by quarter-minutes over the next few months, if you know what I mean.
Orton: (dejected) Fine. Can, uh, I just get a cup of coffee then?
McMahon: You can have it if you're gonna drink it. Not if you're going to pour it on someone.
Orton: (hanging his head) Forget it. I'll just go.
McMahon: Good idea. Stop by if you ever need anything else and...hey. Is that your pocketbook?
Orton: This? Uh, yeah. I bought it at The Pocketbook Store.
McMahon: You sure you didn't steal...ah forget it. Just keep it. Have fun. You're champion now. Knock yourself out.
Orton: (skipping away) Hooray! Hooray!

No more Mercy, people. The pay-per-view is in the history books and we saw three new World Champions crowned in one night. That's historic! Even more historic? You guessed it. First pay-per-view to feature Matt Hardy's puke. I'm sure Jeff's puked on himself before during a show, but with the florescent paint he pours on himself, it's tough to tell. First time for Matt, though. Speaking of first time, tonight will be the first time we hear from John Cena since he was injured at the hands of Misterrrrrrrr Rannedy...Rannedy! What will the now-former WWE Champion have to say? Only one way to find out. Grab some hot cocoa. Grab a loved one. Pour the hot cocoa on them. Watch them scream. Then, listen to Jerry Lawler and Jim Ross. It's time for Raw.
We kick things off with Mr. McMahon. As the chairman of the board spaz-walks his way to the ring, J.R. and The King welcome me to Grand Rapids. They say that Mr. McFunnystrut is in a good mood tonight due to last night's events. Vinnie Mac backs them up on the microphone. You see, last night he proved that his word is his bond. He guaranteed a new WWE Champion. Done. He guaranteed a WWE Championship match at No Mercy. Done times three. He promised history would be made at No Mercy. That happened as well. Here. Take a look at this quick video detailing the whole thing in a neat little package.
No Mercy Video Package: Randy Orton gets the title handed to him to start the night. Hunter saves the day. Hunter defends the day against Umaga. Orton ruins the day. Day ends.
As you can plainly see, history was made last night at No Mercy. However, history isn't done being made. You see, Vince McMahon is making history again tonight! Two nights in a row! Two histories! How so? Like this:
"If, for no other reason, I'm demanding that every single WWE superstar on the entire roster come out here into this very arena all at the same time. And the reason they're gonna be out here is that they're gonna shake the hand of and wish good luck to and show respect to the new WWE Champion, Randy Orton!"
- Vince McMahon
After announcing the scheduled group hand touching, Daddy Mac makes the next big announcement. He's putting the pretend power in the grubby little hands of all his fans. That's right! At Cyber Sunday, we all have the chance to go online and vote! Our choices are...
Hey Hunter, you're up.
OK. Let me just put my elbow pads on.
Why do you need elbow pads if you're just doing a promo?
Uh...because I need to have them on if I'm going to pour water on my face. Otherwise I might drown. Duh.
Oh. Uh...Of course. Sure. Sorry I asked.
Triple H hits the ring and Vince immediately jumps on him. He begins to needle H over his tough night. Trippie isn't in the mood to listen, though. He's here to talk.
"Shut up. You stand out here and you talk about who's got the power to make decisions. Well these people don't care about Cyber Sunday right now. What they care about it is tonight! So with that in mind, just like Randy Orton did last night. I am invoking my rematch clause! I want Randy Orton for the WWE Championship and I want it tonight."
- Triple H
Rematch, beeotch? Be careful not to write checks that your Gamy ass can't cash. After all, you had three matches last night, Trips. You already...ah. Cha'know what? Forget it. You want a match? You got it. Eff it. No worries. Tonight. Triple H vs. Randy Orton. Done! Vinnie Mac trots off and it looks like we have a match for the night.
Oh. Oh. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. The Boss forgot to say the most important part. It's going to be Triple H vs. Randy Orton...and his tag team partner, Umaga! Ha! Now put that in your water bottle and wear it, Elbowpads. Game on.
Commercial Break. Step one. Admit you have a problem. Step two. Sell those shiny pants.
1. Candice Michele, Maria, and Mickie James defeated Melina, Beth Phoenix, and Jillian Hall when Candice pinned Hall
You know what I hate? The term "diva." I mean, it's 2007. The term is kind of played out and isn't really cutting edge anymore. It has a real definition. It's not interchangeable with "woman." Then again, it's better than "knockout," but that's just ridiculous. Even more insane to all this is that the title is still called the "Women's Title." How can you call the title "Women's" and then not refer to them as women? What's the point? In an awkward moment, Jerry Lawler tells Jim Ross that he loves sex and hopes to do it again someday. For J.R.'s sake, I hope Lawler's hand wasn't on his knee at the time. I'm not a big fan of Beth Phoenix's new "I'm Not Jillian Hall" headband. It's weird looking. Not as weird looking as the guy in the third row wearing the Michael Meyers mask, but weird nonetheless. As for a match, this one wasn't bad. There was a strong focus on submission holds and athletic moves. Even the awkward victory roll at the end couldn't' really damper the mood. Candy got the victory on Jill as Beth pounded the hell out of Mickie James outside. After the bell, The King asked if we could have "six or eight diva matches tonight." Good luck finding enough people to fill those matches, Jerry. Not enough "divas" for that. (JG Note: Kendrick doesn't count.)
Commercial Break. 28 Weeks Later - Tomorrow. Uh...what?
William Regal and his hair are both back and they're already back at work on his office. He's replaced the décor of John Coachman, who has gotten hurt and now has to walk with a Slick cane. Will has big photos of George Michael, Elton John, and Queen Elizabeth to add to the room's charm. This causes John to laughs and say that they all have something in common. "They're all queens!" (JG Note: They need to hire a big whacky clown run into the room with a giant bicycle horn after jokes like that.) While all this joking is going on, Vince McMahon shows up to inquire as to the well being of his grown-up baby, Hornswoggle. William tells Dadswoggle that his Little Bastard is napping. No worries. Once the boss takes off though, the worries begin. Regal tells his new assistant to move his Coachly ass and check on Master Horny. He's sleeping...in the closet. When John does go to check, he returns with some bad news. Seems that the Leprechaun is lepra-gone. Irate, the General Manager tells the Coach to find him. Go on, Assistant Gimpy. Your theme of the night has been set. Find that midget! Find that midget! Find that midget!
Back at the broadcast booth, we head to a video package detailing the history of Cyber Sunday. Before that, Jerry Lawler guesses that Hornswoggle is taking part "in a slam dunk contest with Danny Devito." (Whacko The Clown Note: HONK! HONK!)
Commercial Break. Dr. Steve-o can turn you into a man. I guess real men snort wasabi and put electrodes on their testicles. Yay. Where do I sign up?
Next match on the agenda., Santino Marella versus...
OK, Mr. Venis. You're all set in room 234. Here's your room key. Our room service is open until 11pm. After that, you can order sandwiches and drinks, but no hot food. Our pool is located just outside the East Entrance and we have a shuttle to the main area of town at half past the hour. Feel free to contact the front desk if you have any....Oh wait. Wait. One last thing. Mr. Venis, we counted the towels. So don't pull no shit. We'll f**k you up. Enjoy your stay.
Not so fast, Paisan. Santa has a small announcement to make first.
"Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to introduce Lillian Garcia! Hey, hey, hey, I'm talking to a lady you manga cake. I hear tonight, your band is performing in Spanish, no less. En Espnaol. That's a very sexy language. Very sexy, Lillian. Hey, I'm sorry. I'm Italian. That's amore! Val Venis, oh. Ah! You're gonna kill me. I totally forgot. I cannot fight you tonight. I have a previous engagement. Oh. I have such a bad memory, you know. But don't worry. William Regal has chosen a formidable substitute for you and...this is him. Sorry."
- Santino Marella
Manga cake?
2. Gene Snitsky pinned Val Venis after a Pumphandle Slam
Lawler says that Snitsky has yellow teeth. He also has breath so bad that he doesn't know whether to offer him gum or toilet paper. How about toilet gum? That would be unique. Anyway, Val was squashed like a jaywalking turtle here. Snitty hit the big boot. He followed it up with a Pumphandle Slam. Three seconds later and it's off to the back to celebrate with some delicious toilet gum. Yum.
Video Package hyping Evander Holyfield's boxing match on PPV this weekend. They show clips of his fight against MVP and Matt Hardy. Of course, wrestling and boxing are similar except, you know, boxing's a bit more predetermined.
Last week, Ken Kennedy injured John Cena. Then, according to the announcers, Randy Orton further aggravated the injury with a post match attack. Then, John went backstage and slipped on a banana peel, further injuring himself. Then, his carpal tunnel started acting up and he had some acid reflux. Finally, he drank some Diet Pepsi Max while laying down and it went down the wrong pipe, causing him to cough pretty hard. Then his arm fell off. Hear what he has to say after the break...if he's still alive by then.
Commercial Break. Would you buy a car from the Dingo Warrior?
Via Satellite from Tampa, Florida, it's the former WWE Champion John Cena. He has an arm in a sling and fields some questions about his pec surgery from J.R. The main point here is the injury. How's the old pain in the boob, Champ?
"JR, I'm not gonna insult you. I'm not going to insult the fans. They know by watching the program that everything is painful. They saw last night at No Mercy, an athlete like Triple H go through unbelievable pain during the Last Man Standing Match. It's just something you have to focus on. It's like I can't think about yesterday. I can't think about the injury, the pain. I just have to focus on getting better. The number one goal now is getting better and getting in that ring. "
- John Cena
After that, Jerry Lawler brings up the "R" word. Randy Orton. Orton said that your injury saved you the embarrassment of getting beaten up. What say you, Mariney? John responds that every champion wants to fight and it's like telling die hard Cleveland Indians fan, Jerry Lawler (who discusses his fondness for them in his
ClubWWI.com interview - plug, plug, wink, wink), that his team should give up for fear of losing the World Series. According to Dr. Thuggy, everyone wants to fight. Randy may be confident as the new WWE Champion, but he has better things to worry about than Triple H or John Cena. Later tonight, Randall has to shake hands with all of his potential enemies and John John has a feeling he'll have some problems on the horizon.
As soon as Johnny's time ends, Randy's time begins. The Legend Killer comes out to his music and it's time for his handicap match against Triple H. Jerry Lawler says that the segment featuring all the WWE superstars shaking hands with Orton will come later on tonight. What does that mean? It means that right now, there's 40 guys spitting on their hands backstage.
Before they do the two on one thing, it's time for that infamous video...

Five More Ways To Overanalyze and Connect Save_Us.222 To Chris Jericho
1. The video piece is based on computer code. Chris Jericho lives in Tampa, Florida. Many people in Tampa, Florida own computers.
2. The number 222 can be punched into a telephone receiver. Chris Jericho has been known to use the telephone (both in his home and outside his home in cellular form)
3. At one point, the video reads "
BAT_ASS_WEEK." Chris Jericho once spent a week with a bat up his...wait. I heard that from someone off the record. Never mind.
4. The video features the phrase, "
PROMO_99." Chris delivered a promo in 1999. He also has delivered over 99 promos. He also requested the song "99 Red Balloons" at his prom, which Italians call "Il Promo."
5. Chris Jericho Chris Jericho Chris Jericho Chris Jericho. In closing, Chris Jericho.
Ahem. Now that that's out of the way, it's time for the real Savior to save us. The Savior of Saviors. The 222 of 222s. Beardo McWeirdo of Planet Stephanie...Triple H!
3. Triple H defeated Randy Orton and Umaga via disqualification
In today's audio report I did with Mike Rickard, we spoke about how Umaga needs to be protected. Well, this isn't the way to get it done. Why put him in a two on one match? Shouldn't he be too much to handle alone? Factor in that there's no tags and it's even worse. You have a monster and the WWE Champion against one dude...and it's not only believable, but too hard to call a winner. So weird. They should just get rid of the WWE Title and let the Champion strap Triple H around his waist. That's not to say that Rated Bulldozer didn't get the upper hand for most of the match. They did. There were head butts, Samoan Drops, and punches throughout. In fact, Randall and his Samoan co-hort even went for a double team move. But as Maga climbed the ropes, The King of Kings kicked Orton into him. The Legend Killer stumbled and The Game took control. He tossed Jamala from the ring and hit the new Champion with a Spinebuster. That's when The Samoan returned to the ring and hit the K.o.K. with a chair. The bell rang and it looked like the end of the road for The X-Degenerate.
Umy pounded away while Cowboy Bob's kid got that glazed look in his eyes. As Hunt was brought to his feet, Randall took him back to the mat with an RKO. The Champion seemed to be finished with the attack and walked up the aisle, but the Bulldozer wasn't. He set HHH up in the corner, backed up slowly and ran straight into his face.
Ass first.
Then he did it again.
After taking two ass shots to the kisser, Mr. H dropped to the mat and Umaga climbed the ropes. He landed a splash and Jim Ross said this:
"This has Mr. McMahon's DNA all over it."
UCK! Does he mean the ring mat? You don't think Vince...he couldn't...all over the canvas? Ewwwww!
As I tried to wipe out the thought of Vince McMahon jacking his genetic jackhammer all over the squared circle, Maga landed a Samoan Spike on Helmsley. No superman comeback here. The Kingly King crumbled to the mat as Umy's Jungle Boogie played over the sound system. Two refs came to check on him, but Gameboy seemed to be down for the count.
...Until he rolled out of the ring, pushed the referees away, and started to walk to the back on his own.
It didn't last long. Tripz only got a few steps in before falling flat on his face. But that doesn't matter. He gets an A for effort. He tried. Man, that guy has real determination and power. What? Yeah. Sure. I guess he probably wrote that into the script himself, but it doesn't mean he didn't use his inner strength and power. What? OK. So it does, but still. Shut up. He has nice hair.
Commercial Break. Would you go to a parade with the Ultimate Warrior?
We're back and the Game is still trying to walk up the aisle with help from the referees. He's coughing, though, so that's slowing him down a bit. It's a sad moment. We rewatch Hunter getting hit with a chair and all take time to feel bad for him even though he hits people with a sledgehammer.
As Triple H is doubled over in the hallway and doing some Lamaze breathing, Vince McMahon walks up. Hey! Wha' happened? Vinnie Mac's monitor must have went black. He didn't see what went down. Are you hurt, Trippie? Pain? Agony? Ouchies? Well, screw you. You better not use this as an excuse not shake Randy Orton's hand later tonight. In fact, you're going to be the first one to shake his hand! (JG Note: He gets to go first?! Man. This guy always gets special treatment.)
4. The Highlanders defeated Kendrick and London when Robbie McAllister pinned Brian Kendrick
This Highlanders are bad guys now but still have the happy go-lucky music. They need a new entrance theme. That said, I'm 100% behind this heel turn. They should have been bad since day one. In what can best be described as insane, Jerry Lawler pointed out a loophole before the match began. He reminded us that the Landers had said they won't wrestle again until they get a tag title match. Good point, Jerry. What the hell?! I'm going to get a soda. Be right back. Keep the tape rolling and let me know if I miss anything while I'm gone...OK. I'm back. So is Robbie. He nails Miss Kendrick with a Spear, puts his feet on the ropes and gets a pinfall win. Yay. Highlanders! Big Beards + Kilts = Aweome.
WWE Diva Search package airs. Don't forget that tonight's Diva Search includes this week's
ClubWWI guest ...Taryn Terrell! (
2011 JG Note: Taryn would go on to become WWE's Tiffany. This 30 minute Club interview took place before her WWE rise and fall - very interesting perspective. ) Tonight's eliminated Diva is Jessica Hatch.
Congrats to Taryn, by the way, on making the final Four. Taryn Terrell is great. If you haven't heard her
ClubWWI. interview, you'll be pleasantly surprised. She's a long time fan and has a lot to say about a lot of subjects.
Commercial Break. BRETTTTTTTTTT!
After the break, Lillian Garcia sings "Quiero Vivir." I don't speak Spanish, but I think that only makes the whole thing even hotter. For all I know, she could be singing about oatmeal.
As the song comes to a close, Santino Marella comes out and tells Lillian to "scramolla." After all, he has a song of his own. He's here to sing a parody of "Rehab" of Amy Winehouse.
"They tried to make me watch the Condemned.
I said no, no, no.
It's a sad fact, Stone Cold cant' act,
He should go, go, go.
He likes to hang out in bars.
I gave his movie zero stars.
They tried to make me watch the Condemned.
I said no, no, no...."
- Santino Marella
Santino's funny, but these overly scripted things for him are kind of lame. DAMN! If anything, they make me feel better about the Raw Insanity intros. Thanks, WWE! As for the point of it all, I wish we could just go right to Austin vs. Marella and skip the eight years of teasing. Basta! Basta!
After the break, Ken Kennedy vs. Jeff Hardy. Who's the true king of blowing their big push? We'll find out...next!
Commercial Break. IcoPro. You gotta screw it!
5. Jeff Hardy pinned Ken Kennedy
Before the match, Kennedy did his double name shtick. I don't know. It seemed like a bigger deal when he was, uh...a bigger deal. Lawler told J.R that it was time to drop the "rainbow haired warrior" nickname for Jeff now that his hair appears to be one color. Ross refuses and tells his Kingly partner that he must be vocally impaired. (JG Note: Blind? He's blind?) While this match got the crowd going and seemed to be treated as a bigger deal than say Snitsky-Venis or Londrick-Highlanders, it still was a step down for Double K. It was also a step down from the days that Jeff Hardy was being pushed to the moon. I just wish these two had been able to keep their momentum going and played nice long enough to break out big time. Ken's under a cloud that's going to be tough to break out of and Jeff's got clouds of his own. In this case, it looks like Jeffery's skies are a bit clearer than Ken's. The Normal Haired Warrior missed his Swanton Bomb and K.K. went for the pinfall. He laid across the fallen Emo Highflier, but ended up hooked into a pinfall. We get a one. We get a two. We get a three. The Charismatic Enigma takes the win and Jim Ross says that Mister K will remember this loss for a long time...time! Ugh. Even that's getting old.
....OLD! No it's not.
From there, we go backstage to William Regal's queenly office. The Brit is standing by with The Boss. Mr. McMahon is preparing him for the next segment. Get set, Lord Steven. It's almost handshake time. Vince wants everyone out there. EVERYONE! That includes his bastard son, Hornswoggle. VKM inquires as to Horny's whereabouts. Regal claims that he's still sleeping and all appears OK until John Coachman shows up. Coach almost lets the cat out of the bag about Swoggle's disappearance, but manages to stop himself before Vinnie Mac can hear him. Then - out of nowhere - The Little McBastard appears! The yawning leprechaun walks into the room and Big Daddy V..KM smiles and heads to the ring. This leaves the midget behind with the J-Coach, who's in a world of trouble. Horndog takes Coachman's cane and begins to beat him with it comically. Ah slapstick. Har har. (Whacko The Clown Note: HONK! HONK! AHHHH-OOOOGA!)
Commercial Break. Snap into the power-r-r-r-r-r-r!
It's handshake time. Mr. McMahon has a red box set up in the ring and all the roster at the top of the aisle. Without further ado, let's bring out the man with shakable hand! Your WWE Champion...Randy Orton!
Orton shows up and walks the aisle. Jerry Lawler calls him a two time Champion and as he steps onto the big red box in the ring, Jim Ross corrects The King. Randy Orton has been World Champion before that, King! He was champ at Summerslam 2004! Don't you remember? He beat ____ _______! Who could forget that match? Ah good ol' _____ ______. The Rabid ________. Come on, Jerry. Where's your head?
Once Dandy Randy steps on the box, Vince praises him and hands over a microphone. After all, who better to praise the Legend Killer than the Legend Killer himself? No one. That's who. Orton speaks about his qualifications and talents before turning his attention to the punk-asses at the top of the aisle. They're jealous little losers without any talent of their own. On that note, they better march their no talent-having butts up that aisle, shake his hand, and say "good luck, Champ!"
McMahon takes the mic back and says it's time to "get this show on the road." First guy up...Triple H! Where are you, Game? You're the first handshaker! You have to be out here! Seems that no one gave The King of Kings the memo because he's nowhere to be seen. This leads to a McThreat unlike any other. Bring your Triple Ass out here right now or else Randall is coming to get you!
Nothing.
Fine. Fine! You want to play, The Game? Fine. Kid R.K.O. get back there right now and....
Oh, oh, oh...SHAWN!
That's right. As I've been saying on my ClubWWI audios for a while now, the most logical first challenger for Randy Orton, Shawn Michaels is back in town. Forget what you heard, this is the perfect time for HBK to return. With the guy who took him out of action now holding that spinny title, the timing is right for an HBKomeback. And comeback he did. The Heartbreak Kid charged the ring, jumped the Champion, and kicked him square in the head.
The crowd went nuts as The Boy Toy knelt on the red box, praying to his big Dude With Attitude above. The Rocker's back in town as we fade to black.
All in all...
Great ending to a good show. Alongside last night's pay-per-view, WWE has been on an above average roll.
As I just mentioned, I've been saying that Shawn Michaels is the natural foe for Randy Orton now that he's skyrocketing to the top. Orton-Michaels is the feud that WWE has had in the bag for a while and given that Shawn can put on awesome matches with anyone, this one was a no-brainer. If you're looking to entertain the fans while killing time until John Cena comes back, HBK can get the job done unlike any other.
Triple H is tiring at times. Lately, he's been used well, but still portrayed as an adult in a world of children. Watching him wrestle is like when a gym teacher plays basketball against the fifth grade class. You know who's going to win. The only question is whether ten kids can beat one man. That's what Gamy's match feel like now. It's somewhat intriguing, but mostly pointless.
The divas were used as filler. So was Santino Marella. At least we saw Snitsky come back. Poor Val Venis had to get fed to him in the process. At least he's on TV, right? That works for something. When you play the same one dimensional gimmick for the better part of 11 years, it's pretty impressive to still be on Raw - jobber or not.
That does it for me. Not a bad show at all. There's been much worse. I'm sure there will be much worse ones in the future. With Shawn Michaels-Randy Orton on top, I'd say that we might not have to worry about that for a little while though.
