JG's 5/16/05 Raw Insanity: Viscera Sings to Lillian in Bed while Edge and Lita Play Licky-Face

By James Guttman
Dec 13, 2006, 10:13


...

The following film is part of World Wrestling Entertainment's partnership with public education in an effort to promote sexual awareness in adolescents. WWE's "Slammin' that Ass" videos have already become the number one teaching tool of educators all around the world. What follows is WWE's newest edition:

Scene opens with a number of young boys sitting around a cafeteria table. One child is being mocked by the others.

Kid #1: Billy's got no weenie!

Kid #2: That's on accounta he don't like girls!

Billy: Do not! Leave me alone, fellas.

Kurt Angle: Yeah, fellas. Leave him alone.

Billy: Whoa! Olympic Gold Medallist and WWE Superstar Kurt Angle!

Kids: Wow!

Billy: What are you doing here, Mr. Angle?

Kurt: Well Billy, I heard the rough time that these guys were giving you. That's not right. Every person goes through an awkward time in his or her life. The secret is to ride it out. There's nothing to be ashamed of.

Billy: Nothing, Mr. Angle?

Kurt: Nothing, Billy. At this age, it's perfectly natural to start looking at others in a sexual light. You might be attracted to a girl in your class. You've probably had a crush on a teacher. I would almost certainly guess that you've engaged in some hardcore bestiality. You know - the natural things a boy does.

Billy: Yeah. I once thought I was in love with my third grade teacher, Mrs. Fa….wait, did you say bestiality?

Kurt: Yup.

Billy: You mean like…

Kurt: Screwing animals. Yup. Bestiality. You dig it. I can tell.

Billy: No. No. I don't do that.

Kid #1: (hittin' Kid #2) Yo. Billy bangs his pets.

Billy: I don't. Really…I don't.

Kurt: Come now, Billy. There's nothing to be ashamed of. If anything, the experience could be enjoyable. I'll show you.

Kurt reaches down and pulls up a dog. He pets it slowly.

Kurt: This is Scruffy.

Billy: Oh no. No. No. No.

Kurt: Let me show you how it's done. Hold on.

Angle gets in position. He begins to demonstrate.

Billy: No. No way. No f**kin' way! This isn't happening!

Kid #2: (crying) Waaaaaaaaaaaa!

Kid #2 screams and runs from the room

Kurt: Arghh!

Scruffy: Arf!

Kurt: Yeah!

Scruffy: Arf!

Kurt: Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!

Scruffy: Arf! Arf! Arf!

Kurt: Tap! Tap! Tap!

Scruffy: Arf! Arf! Arf!

Kurt: Tap! Tap!

Scuffy: Arooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Kurt gets off of Scruffy

Kurt: (wiping his brow) Ah. So there you have it, Billy. Nothing to be ashamed of. It's natural.

Billy: Wow. I just…wow. I…uh…uh…. So you screw dogs? That's your thing now?

Kurt: Not just dogs, Billy. I stick it to all animals. Hell, I went 2.7 seconds on a bull named Blue Man Chu.

Billy: Well, I don't like to do that. I don't like to have sex with animals.

Kurt: Oh. Well why didn't you say so? That's really more of a Smackdown thing. WWE realizes that not everyone has the same sexual inclinations.

Billy: Oh, good. I was worried.

Kurt: Yeah. People can feel a number of different ways about sex. Bestiality is just one option. We understand that there's plenty of fans out there that are more into eating food out of Viscera's mouth.

Billy: What?

Viscera: (from behind him with a bag of chips) You want a bite of my nachos, daddy?

Billy: Nooooo!

Kurt: In honor of this educational video, Viscera has put together a little Men on a Mission rap about sex today. Vis, it's all you.

Viscera: Yo! Throw your hands in the air! Now wave em like you just don't care. Yo..Roses are red. Violets are blue. I'm gonna hold down Billy and force him to eat my nachos. Oh yeah. Get over here, bitch!

Billy: Help! Help!

Vis chases Billy around the room

Kurt: You two have fun. Remember kids, WWE is a strong believer in safe sex. Always use protection…and do something kinky. It's true. It's damn true! Now where's that hot ass little goat I saw earlier…?


Yeah, don't blame me for the content of that opening. I just base my stuff on what WWE is scripting at the time. Disgusted? You're not alone. Hell, even Triple H is jetting. Now that the Cerebral Assassin is out of the picture, what will the future hold for Deacon Dynamite Dave Batista? Will Lita embrace Edge on television and give the world another self-made Matt Hardy promo on the internet? Can Kane overcome the Canadian or will Edge go on to be Mr. Money Money in the Bank Bank? Will the tag team scene continue to…uh, well, uh, be sort of like nothing? Tune in and hide your pets. It's time for Raw. It's true. Woof! It's damn true.

Raw Theme Plays. Randy thought it was OK. Simon thought it was a bit bland. Paula cried and made out with the band.

Hey! Say what? Say hey! It's Jim Ross and he's joined by his partner in announcing crime, Jerry Lawler. The King and the Cowboy are on hand to witness the finals of the Goldrush Tournament. It's the Big Red Machine facing off against Edge. We also have Christy Hemme against (Random Raw Girl) in a Lingerie Pillow Fight. There will also be Ric Flair versus Christian. This time, they won't change it at the last minute to Flair-Tyson Tomko. They promise. Now get ready to boo someone because he's different than you.

How Hassan's Character Came to Be

So we make him an Arab.

Yeah. With the head thing and all that. We can have him spit on the ground.

Ooooo! He can use the Camel Clutch. There's tons of camels in Arabia.

Arabia?

Sure. That's where Arabs come from.

Great brainstorming session, guys. Let's go with it. Wow. We're so smart.

(1) Muhammad Hassan & Daivari defeated Chris Jericho & Shelton Benjamin when Hassan pinned Benjamin I'm starting to think that maybe Hassan and Daivari should be used as a full time tag team. Watching this match makes it seem so clear. The Raw tag division is falling apart and here's two guys with similar styles and the same gimmick. They work well as a pair and both have youth and energy. Instead of letting them run the hamster wheel of non-feuds each week, why not put them in a top tag spot? (JG Note: That is, unless something huge is being planned for Shane 2 Helmsy and Rose-kishi. I'm rolling my eyes right now.) My favorite part of this match was Jerry calling for someone to "shut these two Arab-Americans up." Oh, he's in a rare Kingly mood tonight. But wait…there's more. He goes on to say that both Jericho and Benjamin have something in common. Here, I'll let him tell you himself:

"They're both rock and rollers. Well, you know. Fozzy. Jericho and Fozzy. Shelton Benjamin, if you had gone into his neighborhood when he was a teenager, he'd hit you in the head with a rock and roll you."
 
- Jerry Lawler, 9:06pm

It's not even so much a racist joke as it is a horrible joke. I really hope it's not going to be one of those crazy Jerry nights. In the end, Hassan got a clean pin on Chris Jericho when Y2J+5 was distracted by Daivari. Surprising finish. It's a big win for the Mu-Man.

After the bell, Shelly approached his Manhasset born partner. Chris shoos him away and leaves Shelton standing in the ring alone like a doof. Sorry, Champ. CJ's a busy man! Jericho's off to make metal songs and buy shiny pants. Ta-ta, Benji!

Commercial Break. Why does AJ Soprano have a mullet?

Chris Benoit is 4 Real and he's with Tajiri, who's real Japanese. The Crippler tells the Buzzsaw how Paul Heyman called him over the weekend to invite him to the ECW One Night Stand show. Yoshiro pantomimes back the same sentiment. Well, isn't that funny. Tell you what, Taj, Benoit has a proposition. You against the Rabid Wolverine…tonight…ECW Rules! (JG Note: Stipulation - No one gets paid.) William Regal arrives and questions the dillio. He mocks the violence of Extreme Philly and tries to talk his little buddy out of fighting Benoit in the match tonight. After some hugging, Tajiri convinces Regal to give his blessing. That wasn't a typo. He really hugged him until he melted his icy British heart. Awwww…how, uh, strange.

I know why we have crazy Jerry tonight. Lawler is wearing a T shirt that proudly says "KING" in big letters. It's under a giant crown. He's a wild one, that King. JR and the Crazy One tell us about how Triple H left Raw last week. Will he ever be seen again? Has he taken his ball and gone home? Has he taken his ball and gone bowling? Who knows? Who cares? Most importantly…what's Eric Bischoff doing right now?

Eric Bischoff is talking to someone off camera when John Coachman bursts into the room. Eric. Eric. Hey, Eric. Eric. Eric. Eric. Eric. Yoo hoo, Eric! Eric. Hey, Eric. Yo yo yo, Eric. You there, Eric? Eric? Eric?! Eric!? Eric!? Eric?! Coach needs to talk to you right now! Chris Benoit and Tajiri are…

Bischoff shuts him up and kicks him out. He turns his attention back to his guest of honor, Ric Flair. Look, Easy E, Flair knows that you need Triple H back. The Game has a huge ego and he needs to be fed. Call him, Bisch. You need to do it now. EB refuses. As GM, he shouldn't be the caller, but the callee. Now handle the problem, Naitch. Angrily, the Nature Boy says he's going to go off and confront the man that is responsible for all this. With that, Slick Ric leaves while Bisch silently wishes famine and failure upon his family.

Outside in hallway, Ric spots Dave Batista. He's wearing a suit and drinking coffee (JG Note: As animals often do. I can't tell you how many bad asses in Macys sports jackets that you run into at Starbucks.) Flair goes buck and tells Deacon Dave that all of this is his fault. You owed Triple H your career, Tista! You owed him and you turned your back on him! Dave poo-poos this theory and explains to Judge Smails that all of his success is owed to the dirtiest player in the Game. It was you, Nature Boy, that took Batista under your wing - not Hunter. You have the Champ's respect, Pops. The Horeseman seems genuinely touched as he starts to gallop off, but DB stops him. Hold up. Leviathan has something to show you. Suddenly, the Animal lets out a horrid "Whoooo." It got a laugh and Flair showed him how to do it. It feels more and more like Trips is being transitioned out of Raw's rotation each week in preparation for a Smackdown arrival. As Naitch goes off to fight his match, Batista tells him "You're the man." Yes, Dave. He's the man that you've been beating up for two months.

Commercial Break. Why does the girl do the crazy running bendy thing with her body before eating the M&M Mini Candy Bar? I don't have any strange ritual I do before eating candy. Should I? I sure hope I'm not the only one not doing it while everyone else is.

(2) Ric Flair pinned Christian with a roll up Christian's entrance outfit was awesome. He had a big C cut into the front of his jacket. He also looked really comfortable in this match and seemed natural in his role. If anything, Raw is on the verge of another Chris Jericho with the Charasmatic Captain. He has the tools and the respectability. All he needs now is a chance to come off as a viable contender on the show. This match, with all it's buildup, came off like something important. That's a good thing for Captain Charisma and, despite this loss, he can bounce back and go on to bigger things if they let him. Tomko attacked Ric Flair outside the ring at one point. He picked Naitch up and slammed his back into the ringpost. That's not what Jim Ross saw, though.

"That physical molestation on the outside going undetected by the official."
          
- Jim Ross, 9:30pm

(JG Note: Molestation? Is this "Use poor choices of sexual words that don't fit the situation" week? First Kurt Angle makes up a new definition for bestiality. Now JR paints it out like Tomko's rubbing Flair's thighs. This has been a pretty weird wrestling company lately.) In the end, Naitch overcame his molestation and scored a win over Christian by reach onto his lower torso and grabbing a handful of his tights. The cycle of molestation continues.

After the pinfall, Tyson and Captain Charisma go on the attack. They pummel Ric mercilessly until the save is made by….Batista.

Tista arrives to aid his former Evolutionary partner. He takes down both Sister Christian and Tommy KoKo with Powerbombs, in that order. Slick Ric doesn't know what to make of the situation. What will Triple H say about all this? He's gonna flip his moustache!

Lita and Christy Hemme are chatting about life and girl stuff. Hey, Hemster. You got a Lingerie Pillow Fight tonight, huh? You're undefeated in those. Wow. That is soooo interesting. Before the conversation goes on, Edge arrives and asks if he can take Amy Dumas over to the side for a little chat. She agrees and he gets all broody on her. Don't step, Amy. Don't even step. Know why? Cause The Copenator will take you out. Watch what the Edgeman does to your husband, Matt Hardy Kane. The E Man promises victory and leaves Miss Congeniatlity with a look of concern. (JG Note: She usually only uses one of three facial expressions. This is one of the three - Concern/Deep in Thought.)

Commercial Break. If you sniff paint thinner, you're drowning your brain of oxygen. It's actually hurtful to your body. If someone seeing this ad didn't know that sniffing pain thinner is bad for them, then maybe they should just go ahead and snifff paint thinner. Why not? How much more damage can they possibly do to themselves?

Christian is in pain and he's being consoled by his problem solver. Suddenly, Maria appears and asks her stupid question of the week. This time it was "Are you hurt?" CLB gets angry and Robo-Maria's gimmick has jumped the shark after two weeks. Hooray.

Hello, Mr. McMahon? This is John Heppner, CEO of Masterlock. We'd like to ask you to have Chris Masters refrain from using our product's name as his finisher.

Oh, OK. I understand. After all, you have the name copyrighted. You have a right to protect your property.

Well, actually it's not that. We would let you use it except…well, we think he sucks.

Chris Masters is back after a one week absence. This week he's offering…get ready for it….six thousand dollars to anyone that can break his Masterlock Full Nelson. But wait…if you act now, he'll throw in a one way plane ticket to anywhere in the United States! It's over a six thousand dollar value! Wow! Just to anger the hometown crowd, the Master says that anywhere in the US is better than Omaha, Nebraska. (JG Note: Omaha? Right here in middle America?) From there we did the classic wrestling scenario where the heel picks a plant from the audience and then abuses him with his finisher. Congratulations, Plant. You get a full nelson.

After the bell, Masters celebrates when he's suddenly jumped by…Steve Richards. What? Steven Richards. No, you're thinking of the husband on Bewitched. That's Darren Stevens. This is Steven Richards. Don't feel bad. I forgot he worked here too. He beats on Chris and seems to be intent on a violent revenge for the legit injury he suffered at the hands of the Masterpiece a few weeks ago. The brawl goes on until Stevie is peeled away from his nemesis by WWE officials. (JG Note: Hi, Steven. WWE here. Good news and bad news for you. Good news is you get TV time. Bad news is your feuding with the kid that broke your face. Bye-ee.)

Backstage, Edge is thinking. Next thing you know, Edge is choking. Kane shows up and wraps his hand around Copeland's throat. Stay away from Big Red's wife, Hippie Hair! Argh! Oh, oh, I get it. I get the premise of this angle. It's because Edge is a fornicator, right? Am I right? Am I? Do I get plane tickets to anywhere in the US for figuring it out?

Commercial Break. Is Stone Cold really in the Longest Yard? The most I've seen of a wrestler in a commercial for it is Goldberg in the background. You'd think they'd have at least made ads highlighting the wrestlers for airing during WWE commercial breaks. They did it for Blade Trinity. They couldn’t do it for this?

(3) Chris Benoit and Tajiri fought to a no-contest in an ECW Rules match This is how they sell the ECW show? They have Benoit and Tajiri fight in a match that is stereotypically associated with ECW but has little to do with their styles. They throw a bunch of weapons out there and call it ECW. That's great. It just reinforces the idea that WWE has a negative view on Heyman's old company and saw it as nothing more than violence. What's worse, this match was too short to be anything exciting and had the "ECW Rules" match end without a decision. That's just wonderful. Remember fans, when you think of ECW, think of non-finish. That'll sell some shows. It was Eric Bischoff that cut things off early. First he sent out Coachman to halt the match right before Benoit could hit a big spot on Yoshi, then it was Erictime.

Eerie E tells Coachman that he's sorry for blowing him off earlier. He didn't realize that this match was booked! (JG Note: Some GM. He's got a two hour show. He doesn't know all the segments?) He hates ECW! It stinks! Pooo! Tell you what, boys. No Raw superstars will be permitted to go the ECW pay-per-view. How's that? Bischoff has spoken. No ECW! Boo! You know,the more this goes on, the more I can see ECW getting a spot as a third brand following the draft lottery.

In another section of the arena, Candace Whatsherface is rubbing her legs. That's what they pay her for. That Lingerie thing is next!

Commercial Break. I hope I'm not the only one that didn't realize Lance Krall was Kyp from the Joe Schmo Show. I just figured it out after weeks of these ads.

(4) Christy Hemme pinned Candace Michelle in a Lingerie Pillow Fight Boobs. Boobs. Boobs. Afterwards they hugged.

Following the bell, Viscera showed up in a suit. The ringrats huddled in the corner, trying to escape this Man on a Mission. He let them know that this match turns him on, much like everything else on the planet. He mentions that we all know what happens when he gets turned on. With that, Vissy gives us a Val Venis gyration that sends Thing 1 and Thing 2 running from the ring.

After they leave, he admit his real object of lust. That object is Lillian "The Original Maria" Garcia. He tells her that he's noticed the big Lingerie Pillow Fight bed that's been brought to the ring. Hell, Lilly, ain't but one thing missing. The V-Man walks up to her and says that the one thing is food.

Yes - food. (JG Note: This was like the South Park Spirit of Christmas Video where Stan says that he knows the meaning of Christmas and Cartman says "Yeah - Ham." It made me laugh - the South Park thing, not Viscera) He then meanders over to a plant in the front row and shoves his tongue in her mouth. They make out and she gives him her cotton candy for his troubles. Was there a plant sale? Between Viscera and Chris Masters, WWE is buying lots of them.

He returns to the ring and plops down on the bed. The Boogeyman in the suit then invites Miss Garcia to pop a squat next to him. She does and he offers her some cotton candy. She eats it. Yum yum. Vis tells her that he's like cotton candy in that he'll "melt in your sexy mouth." Wow. On that note, he admits that he has a surprise planned. We cut the lights and Mabel prepares to teach a lesson to all the VIP members who said nothing could outdo Kurt Angle's bestiality promo for this week's Moment of Insanity.

He sings "Can't Get Enough of Your Love Babe."

Yes. He sings. It was like a weird scene in a Quentin Terentino movie. Following the serenade, Vis Man tells Lilly Gar that he has something for her, but it's not a pickle in his pocket. He has a hotel room key for his salsa love interest and invites her to stop by and see him in room…469! Ah ha ha ha! 469! Ha ha ha! Sex is funny.

With all this happening, we have some tongue-in-cheek work/shoot issues backstage. Kane tells his wife, Lita, that Edge will never bother her again. He wants her at ringside to witness the destruction of Adam Copeland. Leets agrees and tells her husband that she longs to see him win the World Title. She then plants a big kiss on him.

Commercial Break. Subway is claiming that they "doubled" their menu because now they offer all subs toasted too. What? You didn't double your menu. You bought toasters. Get over it.

The GoldRush Tournament has lead us to this - Dr. Glenn Yankum of Christmas Village meeting Adam "Get R Done" Copeland.

Chris Jericho is packing his ish backstage when Shelton Benjamin interrupts. Hey, Chris, you OK? This match is all over. Don't sweat the loss. You seem out of it lately though. How you holding up after such a devastating loss? Holding up? Y2J mocks all this. He has an XM Radio show. He's on VH1. His band is on fire in the UK. Billboard gave Fozzy the Critic's Choice award. (JG Note: They did?) This is all goofy rasslin' crap, Benji. Fozzy is all about the music nowadays. Matches don't mean bubkis. Here, kid. Take a Fozzy CD as a gift. SB looks shocked at his partner's actions. It's like Bobby Rayburn telling Gil that he just stopped caring. You know what's really shocking about this segment? It's that WWE's writers would imply that Shelton listens to any music besides rap music.

Commercial Break. New York Lottery has a commercial where a dog wins the lotto. Castrol has one where a dog thinks he owns the family car. Is there some sort of dogs taking over the world conspiracy that I'm not in on?

Hey Hurricane. How are you?

I'm super! Thanks for asking! All things I considered, I couldn't be better I must say. I'm super! Thanks for asking! Everything is super when you're …don't you think I look cute in this cape?

(5) World Tag Team Champions Hurricane & Rosey defeated Simon Dean & Maven when Rose pinned Maven The Purple People Eaters are the top contenders to the World Tag Team titles, currently held by the 2005 baby face Doink equivalents. Before you jump on me for cutting them all down, you have to admit that the tag title scene on Raw is horrendous. The former Super Hero in Training and Shane Helms have been very forgettable as tag champs. La Résistance was crushed by Batista and have yet to recover. Maven and Simon Dean as top contenders? It's all messed up. It has nothing to do with in-ring ability (JG Note: Which all of these guys possess to an extent) It has to do with creative direction. There's nothing new to do with Helms and Rosey. Seriously - nothing. If they're holding on until Superman or Batman come out in theaters, then it's a mistake. The problem with Hurricane from day one is that he doesn't have a nemesis. Right next to him you have someone that could play the comic book villain to a tee. He would have a cheesy backstory about being the former sidekick, now arch enemy of the great Hurricane. Go cheese ball crazy with it. Instead, they let the two of them act out the same gimmick into the played-out ground. Stacy Kiebler in big boots couldn't save this one. Rosey covered the Mavenator for the victory.

Smackdown Rebound. Eddie Guerrero tore off part of Rey Mysterio's mask. I hate when that happens.

Commercial Break. Lords of Dogtown is coming to theaters. Kurt Angle thought it was about bestiality.

Cue Randy Orton…really?

Randy Orton is in the house. Recovering from his shoulder surgery, the Legend Killer has come to Raw with a buzz cut and a purpose. First and foremost, it's bad enough that he's out of action. What's worse is that he has to hear the same question everywhere he goes. Will you be on Raw or Smackdown, Randy? Orton is sick and tired of hearing that question! He's staying put on Monday because that's how things go. So there. Mr. RKO can't be drafted. He's injured. He's injured because of Batista and the Undertaker. All that said, he issues threats to both men, but presents his plan to remain on Raw and ultimately take the World Title from his former Evolution running partner. It'll be Randall's ticket to the Hall of Fame. It'll happen right here on Raw!

Not so fast, paht-nah. Mister McMahon has come to town for two reasons - to confront you and to walk funny. The Chairman does his patented big stomp walk and all I keep picturing is him falling flat on his face. Vinnie Mac immediately goes on the attack. He calls the Cowboy's kid "skinny," referring to his neck as a "stack of dimes." When the Rand says he's injured, Vince the Magical Healer Man mocks him. Don't be a beech, kid. It's not just your size that's laughable. Look at your hair! Ah ha ha ha! We all chuckle at Orty's expense. We then move on to bigger fish.

Vince says that anyone can be drafted. Whether injured or healthy, you're fair game. Randy gets randy and tells his boss that he best remember who he's talking to. Orton says that he will eventually make WWE more money than anyone. Watch your tongue, chief. Vinnie, rather than selling the 25 year old's intimidation, decides to cut his nuts off for no reason and inform him that he best watch his mouth. After all, Big Mac will be your boss no matter where you end up! (JG Note: Why they had Vince do this, I'll never know. He could have let Randy get in his line and moved on. Instead, he had to be tougher than his employee. Talk about shooting yourself in the foot for ego.) As for the Draft, it begins three weeks for tonight in St. Louis. It'll be a one month of Draft choices. Everyone jumps everywhere. According to VMc, it'll be the most sensational thing in wrestling history. Now take the night off and hit the bricks. On that note, Vince hits him in the shoulder. Why? Because he can. That's why. As Mac left, I kept thinking that it was a huge mistake to not have Randy give Vince the RKO at the end. It would have been the perfect finish. Sadly, the days of Vinnie Mac putting over the brutality of his performer are over. Now he has to be SuperGod of the wrestler world. The days of him gulping big are gone. He used to be a fairly tough, but ultimately outmatched old character. Now he's King Sh*t of F**k Mountain. Whoo-hoo.

Commercial Break. Starburst - If girls faces were made of it, you'd eat them alive.

(6) Edge pinned Kane after Lita turnedJim Ross advices me against running off to make a sandwich right now. I wasn't thinking about it before, but now I am. Now I want a sandwich. It's 11 o'clock at night, I've eaten dinner, and JR gives me the visual of making a sandwich. I'll try to fight off the craving. Oh, wait, commercial break…be right back….

Commercial Break. Is the Burger King commercial supposed to be about having hallucinations? Their slogan should be "Come to Burger King - Trip Your Face Off."

…OK, I'm back. Got a sandwich. The match goes on and it seems that we're just killing time until the ending. The audience is somewhat burnt out from a so-so show and it's going to take a big time closer to end on a high note. Oh wait. Here comes. Lita gets the briefcase and tosses it to Edge. She then distracts her "hubby" and allows Copeland to plaster him in the head with it. Three seconds later and we have a new first couple of Raw.

The announcers act angry over this betrayal by Amy, even though they were calling for her to be saved from Kane mere months ago. She hops on him and they leave the monster laying in the ring.

As the duo march up the aisle, all the similarities that this angle has to real life pop out. They talk about the infidelity in marriage (JG Note: Lita's marriage infidelity=Edge's.) They talk of how Edge can tear apart Lita and her man. Its worked-shoot comments up the yin yang until Adam and Amy reach the curtain. They stop, look at one another, and then have a sloppy make-out session. They basically stuck out their tongues, pushed their heads together, and went to town. At home, Matt Hardy's head explodes as we fade to black.

All in all… Alright show. It had high points and it had low points. In the end, it did a good job of forwarding storylines.

The Rosey Machine, the Hurricane Machine, and the Stacy Machine, huh? I'm still surprised at how much mileage WWE tries to get out of this gimmick. How much blood can they get out of these stones?

Oh…when I get that feeling, I want Visceral healing. Visceral…healing baby…Visceral healing…

Yeah, it's insane. It's off the charts. The weird thing is that I just can’t see how this angle is going to lead to anything for Vis to do in the ring at all. How can this make money? How will this conflict eventually transition into a pay per view selling point? Is it a conflict? Is Vis a baby face or heel? Does it serve any purpose other than to be random, insane, and shocking? At this point, I'm thinking no. That's not good.

 

Lita and Edge is art imitating life and a testament to the fact that no publicity is bad publicity in this business. For the first time in forever I'm interested in an Amy Dumas angle. Works for me. Sorry, Angelic Diablo. This is some crazy stuff. Matt may have been a big part in helping Adam Copeland make some money in this business. This industry, like life, isn't fair. Sometimes the people who are wrong end up rewarded. It's how it goes.

Altogether eventful night, if not a bit boring at times. The finale was good and everything we expected. Vince McMahon coming to castrate Randy Orton. Chris Jericho choosing his band over wrestling. Vis in bed with Lilly. There was stuff going on. Given these moments, the overall show should have been better. For some reason, the filler moments were downright forgettable, though. Thanks for reading. See you next week.
