Summer blockbusters are coming to an end, but that doesn’t mean that WWE Films is taking a break. No way, Jose! World Wrestling Entertainment is proud to unveil some of our upcoming features. Each film is guaranteed to be a success! So grab some popcorn and shut the hell up. It’s time to go to the movies!


 

Break it down.

DeGeneration X-Men

In a world where nothing is what it seems, a select few have been graced with mutated powers that allow them to keep us free. From the people who brought you  Ishtar, Children of the Corn 4, and Mr. Wizard’s World comes a tale unlike any other you’ve ever seen. Well, besides X-Men, that is.

Starring:

Triple H as Himself
Shawn Michaels as Himself
Brad Armstrong as Road Dogg
Chuck Palumbo as Billy Gunn
Sean Waltman as Himself
Janet Reno as Chyna
Mike Tyson as Himself
Gene Snitsky as Jim Neidhart
Tori as Herself
and Jerry Matthers as The Beaver

 

 

Puff, puff, give.

Jackass Number 4:20

Jackass is an American Institution. So, if it’s an American Institution then WWE should be the one glopping on to it! Not Sonjay Butt or whatever the hell his name is. That’s why the newest edition of Jackass is Jackassier than ever thanks to everyone’s favorite ECW Alumni and his crew!

Clip:

My name is Rob Van Dam and this is the get baked and drive without a shirt on trick.

Catch the whole crew as they go nuts on an unsuspecting public. Rob, Sab-O, Don Vito, and all the rest are ready to take a beating just for you!

 

 

Kane>Nick Lachey.

Independent Contractor of the Month

Look. We’re gonna be straight with you here. It’s the exact same movie as “Employee of the Month.” Same plot. Same characters. Same script. The only difference is that Kane’s character, Jake Goodnight, is placed into the story where he randomly beats Dane Cook and sexually assaults Jessica Simpson for no reason whatsoever.

 

 

Mother Fu*kin’ RKO!

Divas on a Plane

The company plane is overrun by divas…and they’re taking up three seats a piece!

Clip:

Randy Orton: I am sick and tired of these mother fu*kin’ divas on this mother fu*kin’ plane! They’re taking up too many mother fu*kin’ seats! I’m gonna get me a mother fu*kin’ jack and coke and pour it on their mother fu*kin’ heads! Now who’s with me!?

Also starring Michael Hayes, Dustin Rhodes, William Regal, and Brock Lesnar.

 

Sucka

All King Booker’s Men

Welcome to a shady underworld where the shows are never on when they’re supposed to and no one is watching when they are. In Smackdown Kingdom, only one man rules with the power of all around him. King Booker brings forth his men to do his bidding and they do it well. Actually, not really. They lose a lot. But that’s all good when you’re a five time, five time, five time, five time, five time, WCW Champion. Now can you dig that…ROGUE?

Got the movie bug, kids? Don’t worry. I’m sure there’s a cream you can buy for that. Anyway, it’s Monday and it’s Raw time. What do we have to look forward to tonight? We have the unforgiving Steel! No. Not George The Animal after you accidentally hit him with your car - the steel cage, I mean. It’s John Cena going one-on-one with the former WWE Champion of the Raw, Edge! Will the R Rated Superstar defeat the hated hero or will the beloved rule breaker fail in his bid to take the strap back to the Great White North? Can Jeff Hardy finally stop the man with his own pretend paparazzi, Johnny Nitro? Will John hold his I.C. strap for another day or does the Hardy Boy have what it takes to capture the gold and bring it back to the shadowy nether region he calls home? What about the future of DeGeneration X? Do HBK and Triple H have something in store for Cade and Murdoch following their non-finish against the Heaters? Will they use their mutant powers to hold off Lance The Hammer and Trevor The Cable Guy? Only time will tell. Actually, time already told…last night. That’s why you’re reading this. So sharpen your claws, pocket your ticket stub, and make sure your cell phones are on silent. It’s Monday. It’s USA. It’s Raw! Yeah! It’s better than candy! Well, that might be a bit of an exaggeration. Uh… it beats getting kicked in the head by Albert Haynesworth. Yeah. That one works. Let’s watch Raw, people.

Raw Theme Plays. **

Jerry Lawler and Jim Ross are ready to knock your blocks off your rocks, kids. It’s a special night of Raw and we’re kickin’ it live in Topeka. The cage has been constructed and the children have been nestled all snug in their beds. John Cena and Edge finish their epic war here tonight. At this point, J.R. says something that should be considered foreshadowing for the rest of the evening.

“There’s no escaping D.X.!”
                      
- Jim Ross

Game on, you degenerates. DeGeneration X is here and ready to rock your worlds. Triple H demands quiet so everyone in attendance can hear the intro he’s been doing for a decade. He gives the usual “for the millions around the world” thing but again adds “and for Vince McMahon.” On that note, he says that “a picture is worth a thousand words.” We shoot up the Titantron and see a still shot of Mr. McMahon with his head in Big Show’s behind. (JG Note: Mr. McTossedsaladman) Helmsley reasons to Shawn Michaels that “sometimes you have to learn to eat crap and like the taste of it.” Uh, I guess. Maybe with ketchup or something. I don’t know. Whatever Hunter does in the privacy of his own kitchen is his business, right? Ick.

Hey. I told you to cue the Coach. Who the hell is this?

This is Mr. Tootalone. He was my pee-wee league soccer coach. I, um, uh…I didn’t realize that you meant John Coachman. Sorry, dude.

John Coachman springs from the locker room following this disrespectful intro by Sideburns and his Born Again Boy Toy. You guys have some cajonies. You both are in the mood to have fun, eh? You wanna get wild? You wanna get nutty? You wanna eat tasty crap and enjoy it? Fine. Get ready. You boys are about to be on the short end of a six-on-two handicap match. Making matter worse, it’s going to be Texas Tornado rules. That means it’s every man in the ring at one time. How’s that crap taste? Yum. Yum. Gimme some!

1. DeGeneration X defeated The Highlanders, Charlie Haas, Viscera, Lance Cade, and Trevor Murdoch

DX reminds me so much of WCW's use of Hulk Hogan and Randy Savage in the mid 90s. They had a match where they beat about 60 guys at once. WCW even made up new people for them to beat in the match. Now Michaels and Hunter get to do the same thing. At this point, though, it’s not even a major issue anymore. It is what it is. You get used to the fact that certain guys get pushes that go against anything anyone else would get. The worst part in all this is that the Highlanders shouldn’t be involved in this at all. Unless there’s a plan to turn them heel, there’s no reason they should be teaming with heels so close to their Raw debut. It was a pretty critical time for them in their run. They should be fighting these guys, not teaming with them. Viscera is no big deal in terms of putting guys over. With his size, he can job to 2000 guys and still be presented as an insurmountable obstacle for his opponents. Why? Because he’s enormous. No matter how many times he’s been pinned, it still seems believable that it takes two guys to knock him down. As for Charlie Haas, he’s probably the most misused guy of the bunch. His old partner, Shelton Benjamin - you know, the guy he had the most success with - is now dressing like the Rock and playing a “discriminated against minority” gimmick. What’s Charlie doing? He’s teaming with Viscera…oh, and getting pinned by Triple H. Sideburns McGameface nailed Macho Man Randy Haas with a Pedigree and scored himself a victory. If you ain’t down with that, Chuckie, then DX has two words for ya! Nice Headband!

John Coachman ain’t down with that at all. He once again appears on the ramp to reprimand the Cerebral Assassin and The Midnight Rocker. You two think this is over? This battle may be over, but you are far from winning this war! Coach reminds them that he runs the show. Helmsley has a different idea. Tell ya what, Montel. How’s about if Motorhead and The Dude With Attitude walk that aisle and bounce your ass right out of the building? Cha. Ya know what? That sounds like a specatabulous idea. DX leaves the ring and walks up the ramp, ready to shot-put Johnny C from this arena….after the break, of course.

Commercial Break. Dish Network gives you football 24/7. You never have to talk to you wife again! If you don’t have a wife, don’t worry about it. You won’t have time to get one…because you have football 24/7!

Why Jeff Hardy’s House Gets Egged on Halloween

Trick or Treat!

Wow! What a scary little ghost! Oh! And look at you! What a scary little pirate! Here. I have some treats for you. Ready? Put your bags out!

OK!

Here ya go! A handful of tuna fish for you. A lock of my hair for you. And for you, some paintbrushes! YUM! Have fun! Happy Halloween!

2. Jeff Hardy defeated Johnny Nitro to capture the WWE Intercontinental Championship

At the start of the match, Jim Ross reveals that Melina said in WWE Magazine that she “likes three way sex.” Lawler asks Jim for clarification and he says that she likes two men and her. To this, Jerry gushes over the thought of joining her and Johnny for a threesome. (JG Note: In a related story, Johnny Nitro will now feel a little uneasy around Jerry Lawler for a while.) So this was the match. This was where Matt’s brother did his thing and took the I.C. belt. I couldn’t help but think it might have been a mistake to put Hardy on Raw and give him the Intercontinental Title. Nitro could have really benefited from an extended run with the strap. Also, Smackdown could really use a U.S. Champ like Jeff Hardy. Either way, Hardy has shown dedication in the short time he’s been back and this victory shows that WWE has some faith in him. The match itself was slow at times, but ultimately got the people going at the important parts. That being said, the crowd was pretty hot anyway and cheered for most things. Then, in typical J.R. out-of-nowhere fashion, the cowboy hat wearing announcer spouts out a line that makes your head turn. Melina fell to the ground after being caught in a Jeff Hardy flying leap on Nitro. She fell to the ground holding her ankle in pain. When The King expresses worry, Ross writes off her injury as bogus and says this:

“We’ve seen her act before. That Kurt Angle routine.”
         
- Jim Ross

Even Jerry says, “You’re a cold-hearted man, J.R.” (JG Note: I would have loved it if Ross broke into a Joe Pesci style “Do I amuse you? Am I hear to amuse you?” tirade at this point and then stuck Lawler in the side with his ballpoint pen. He doesn’t though.) While we’re all giggling over the Total Nonstop Dig, Jeff Hardy backflips John off the top turnbuckle and hits Sean O’Haire’s patented Swanton Bomb. Three seconds later, Hardy takes the gold. But hey, I’m not telling you anything you don’t already know.

The History of John Cena-Edge: New Year’s Revolution. Edge cashes in IRS’s briefcase for a chance to take the WWE Title from Cena.

Backstage, DeGeneration X is stealing lines from TV and movies. They both knock on John Coachman’s door, trying to get the cowering commissioner to come out of his hole. Like John Locke in the hatch, Coach fears the thought of leaving. Up first is Hunter, who does the whole “room service” bit from Tommy Boy . When that doesn’t work, Michaels decides to date himself by referencing the 1975 Saturday Night Live skit “Land Shark.” Trips joins then jumps in and tries to embarrass Coachman out by implying that he’s masturbating. You yanking the Franken, Johnny? Huh? HBK says that’s a sin. Put that thing down and get out here right now! Well, maybe not right now. First we have to watch a commercial. So you have like three minutes. Finish up. Towel off. Use some Purell hand stuff. Then get out here!

Commercial Break. Raw Theme Redux. **

Next week Raw is going to be three hours. Won’t that be fun? All three champions will be here and things will be off the chain (or off the hook, depending on your dialect). Now let’s go to the backstage area where Bubblehead Boobie is standing by with Jeff Hardy.

Maria is joined by the new Intercontinental Champion Jeff Hardy. It's bad promo time from Jeff who huffs, puffs, and enunciates his words. As he finishes up, Mary jumps in with a reminder that she’ll be playing strip poker in ECW next week. So noted. That’s when Melina walked in. She informed the new champion that Johnny “Don’t Call Me Thunder” Nitro will be taking the strap back from him post haste! Then, she proceeded to stand there and screech at the top of her lungs over and over. Eventually, Jeff had to put his nail polished hand over her mouth to give us all some peace and quiet.

In another section of the arena, Mr. McPhone is back from his long hiatus! John Coachman is on the cell with Vince McMahon and in a tizzy about his problems this evening. Even though he pleads with the chairman to understand his limitations, McPhone insists that he goes out there and handles DX face to face. John does as he’s told. He hangs up the phone, opens the door, and steps away from the hatch.

John cautiously walks the hallway until he comes into contact with Triple H. He pauses and turns around, only to see Shawn Michaels waiting on the other side. That’s when things get stupid…or funny, depending on your taste.

Some old west music plays and the camera pulls back to reveal a tumbleweed at Coachman’s feet. Badaboomching. After the sight gag, Coach runs away into a closed dressing room and leaves the scene faster than your suspension of disbelief.

Unfortunately for John, the dressing room was the Women’s locker room. They don’t sound pleased with his intrusion from the commotion inside. Stephanie’s husband and The Source of All Strength have no choice but to enter and see for themselves. Shawn mock covers his eyes while Trips stays behind to flirt with some of his wife’s employees. After getting some schoolgirl giggles from Mickie James, Ashley, and Billy Kidman’s wife, The Game is dragged from the room by Shawn Michaels, who’s still covering his eyes. As Sideburns is pulled from the room, he tries to tell the girls about the two words he has for them, but alas, doesn’t get the chance. He has some Coach chasin’ to do.

In the bowels of the building, John Coachman is still running like an illegal alien at a JBL barbeque. For some reason, he’s slapping all the walls and doors as he tries to find an empty room. He finally settles on a hiding spot, but once he closes the door, he realizes he’s not alone. The fat male stripper who has become a WWE mascot in the last few months is there. He strips down to a bikini bottom and grinds his grill all over the repulsed McServant. John finally pushes him away and escapes the room…only to slip and fall on the freshly washed floor. I half expected to hear a trumpet go “Wah-Waaaaaah”

Once on the ground, Johnny Coach was easy prey for his Degenerate tormenters. They chased the arrogant authority figure into the parking lot and backed him against a truck. They feigned an attack and he turned to run…right into the truck. Clunk. Plop. The Coach fell to the ground and DX promptly placed him in a garbage bin. As luck would have it, the garbage man was working at 10 pm. He carted off the trashed Coach and the segment came to an end. Wah-waaaaah.

The History of John Cena-Edge: Royal Rumble. John Cena defeats Edge with an STFU. Joey Styles seemed to be excited about it.

Commercial Break. There was a Toyota commercial during Raw. Did they accidentally buy ad time on the wrong night or something?

The Spirit Squad are in an uproar when they’re suddenly confronted by the acting bosses for the night. DeGeneration X runs in and they’re in full scale work/shoot mode. HBK informs the boys in green that he’s been informed by Vice President John Laurinaitis that there’s a “new” dress code in effect. After doing his best imitation of Johnny Laryngitis, Michaels informs the cheerleaders that they’re in direct violation of said code. They have a choice. They can either comply…or they can have their faces bashed in by a sledgehammer. Now there’s a way to enforce the rules, huh? Broken face or dress pants. Which will they choose?

Next week - Umaga vs. Kane. The loser leaves Monday Night Raw. Didn’t they have the same stipulation for a match like that a few years ago? If I recall, the losing team had to leave Raw forever. Unfortunately, the losing team consisted of about four million fans. Wah-waaaah.

3. Umaga squashed Gene Snitsky after The Samoan Spike.

Umaga had a new style of face paint. It was a bolder version of the old paint. Everyone needs an update now and then, I guess. Maybe Snitsky should do the same thing. His current incarnation isn’t doing him any good. Well…unless you count losing in ten seconds as good. Maga gets the win easily and this time around, it was his fault. Gene might have had an easier time if The Samoan Bulldozer was pregnant.

Todd Grisham is wearing his Sunday best and standing by backstage with the Legend Killer Randy Orton. Randall informs Todd that the only thing cool here is himself, not Carlito. In fact, the coolest thing in the world is made up of only three letters. Those letters are UFC. Oh wait…wait. Sorry. RKO. He said RKO. My bad.

Commercial Break. This Sunday, Mr. Kennedy meets The Undertaker. Somewhere right now, Ted Kennedy just went, “What?! What?!”.

Clips from John Cena in the “Marine.” The Marine’s name is Bill. He wears leather pants and enjoys long walks on the beach…not that there’s anything wrong with that.

4. Randy Orton pinned Carlito Cool with a handful of trunks for leverage

Randy Orton has mastered the art of making things that take no effort at all look like they take all the effort in the world. Say what you want about him, but if you’re going to use a ton of armlocks and headlocks, at least you have to make them look good. Orton does that. At one point, he locked an armlock on Carly around the ring post. It reminded me of when Bret Hart would do the ringpost figure four back in the olden days. Cool also showed some good stuff here. He did a new spot that looked absolutely exhausting. With The Legend Killer down on the mat, Carl hopped onto the ropes and sprung back with a senton. He quickly rolled back up, kipped up onto the ropes on the other side, and hit an Asai moonsault. Sadly, that didn’t earn him the win, though. In the end, it was the rule breaking ways of Cowboy Bob’s son that got him another victory. Trunk grabbing - that’s cool. Jim Ross says that I can bet my last dollar that Carlito will get his revenge on Randy. You got it, Jim. If I ever have a kid, he better not need a college fund. Daddy spent all the family moolah betting on the afro headed apple man. Sorry, kiddo.

The History of John Cena-Edge: ECW One Night Stand. The fans booed Cena. In the end, Rob van Dam won the ECW Title. Then he drove around without a shirt on and lost it. Buzz kill.

Triple H and Shawn Michaels are outside the Spirit Squad dressing room. The cheerleaders are apprehensive to leave the room in their new outfits. Michaels informs the bashful boys in the mandated ring attire that if they don’t come to the ring then DeGeneration X is going to have to strip them of the tag team titles. I don’t really get how any of that makes any sense considering that no one gave them any power at all, but whatever. Just as I was starting to question the logic of it all, Hunter threw in a line that took me off my train of thought.

“Those guys are so gay.”
                   
- Triple H (wears thongs)

“…Not that there’s anything wrong with that.”
               
- Shawn Michaels (wears mirrored leather caps)

Commercial Break. Next week on Raw. It’s a Family Reunion. John Cena. Big Show. King Booker. Mr. Whipple. Jessica Simpson. Malcolm Jamal Warner. Mr. Kennedy. Vicki Lawrence. Joey Lawrence. Chavo. John Stamos...

It’s Cryme Tyme. This week, Shad Gaspur and JTG splash a policeman in the face with a cup of coffee and lead him into an enclosed yard with an attack dog. The announcer closes this week’s skit out with a “fo shizzy.”

The Spirit Squad are here. All five men are dressed in female cheerleading outfits complete with skirts. One of them has a skid mark on his under trunks. I couldn’t tell if it was gimmicked or not. Either way, I don’t think it makes a difference. Whichever it is, it’s pretty horrible. Speaking of skid marks…Immortal Slime! Ultimate Puke! On your feet, maggots! It’s time to salute Iraq’s Favorite Son…Sgt. Slaughter!

5. Sgt. Slaughter pinned Nicky with a roll-up

The Sarge is here and he’s looking to be in much better shape than the last time around. I’m really surprised that neither J.R. or Jerry Lawler made a comment comparing Slaughter’s match tonight against a man in a skirt to his old street fights with Pat Patterson. Can’t tell if I’m happy or disappointed about that. Turns out the one who got the most straightforward line about S.S.’s outfits was a fan with a sign that read “The Spirit Squad is Gayer Than Me.” Wow. Hope that guy’s gay. He could just be a fraternity pledge. That would suck. After some back and forth, Triple H and Shawn Michaels magically appeared upon the Titan Tron. Hunter held aloft a pair of lacy panties and told Nick Nemeth that he neglected to put on a part of his outfit. Distracted by the mesmerizing Hunter panties, Nick was easy pickins for a roll up.  Here is your winner…the bigger, balder version of Robert Goulet! Ten hut! Salute Col. Mustafa, you pukes!

Commercial Break….Edge. Rob Van Dam. The Undertaker. Max Headroom. Ricky Ratchet. Bob The Builder. Umaga. Lashley. Donald Rumsfeld. Jason Everman. P.N. News. Ahmed Johnson. DeGeneration X. Phil LaFon. Little Bunny Foo Foo…

6. Mickie James pinned Victoria

Before this match, Lillian Garcia informed the crowd that DX has mandated both women to wrestle this match in lingerie. People liked the sound of that.  Watching this match, I can't help but think that Mickie James would have been such a stronger character if only they carried her feud with Trish all the way through and teased tension right up until retirement. Then they could have hugged and all that gushy stuff. (Jerry Lawler Note: And kissed and had sex!) Instead she just up and turned baby face one day. It didn’t help her all that much. Then again, she’s doing better than Victoria. Vicki, who’s only gimmick appears to be that she wears brightly colored ball caps that match her ring attire, once again suffered defeat. This time, she lost a shot to advance in the tournament for the Women’s Title. But - hey. There was lingerie. Lingerie makes everyone smile. Three cheers for lingerie. After the bell, the losing diva became enraged. She tossed Lillian from her ringside seat and threw the chair against the ring steps. Someone get that woman a bright red cap. She needs a time out.

The History of John Cena-Edge: Saturday Night’s Main Event - John Cena puts Edge through a table.

Commercial Break. If you do nothing at college except drugs, don’t worry. You can always make a living thinking up Skittles commercials.

Eric Bischoff has a new book called Controversy Creates Cash. In it, he “shoots” on everyone from Big Van Vader to Jim Ross to The Honky Tonk Man to Steve Austin. Easy E. takes great pride in the people he mistreated and enraged. The energy drink salesmen chats about it with Chris Masters, who says he’s read most of it already. Eric doesn’t challenge Masters on his claim of literacy, but that could be because he was interrupted by DX.  They both take turns shilling the book (JG Note: Like that guy from 1995 who would hard sell WWE Shopzone from ringside during matches on pay-per-view.) When they finish, though, they question Bisch on his new writing project. Did DeGeneration Every Segment happen to get mentioned in it? The former WCW V.P. says that he did mention the DX boys and offered the opinion that they were nothing more than N.W.O. rip-offs. Michaels screams “blasphemy” and Sleazy E quickly takes his leave. Left behind, The Masterpiece is confronted by Hunter Hearst Helmsley. What about you, pretzel man? What’s your story? Masters says that he was thinking of writing a book of his own. Maybe a how-to on nutrition. To this, Triple H mocks Chris’s recovery from steroids with this zinger:

“What are you gonna call it? How to lose 50 pounds in four weeks?”
                        
- Triple H

ZING! Take that, Talent Wellness Program! No matter how funny Helmsley’s line was, it didn’t find it’s way to the Boy Toy. Sadly, it looks like Shawn has lost his smile once again. What’s wrong, little shaver? Why so glum? HBK wonders to his Gamy buddy whether Bischoff’s words were true. Is DX really a New World Rip-Off? No worries, Heartbreak. The King of Kings knows one thing for certain. He who laughs last, laughs best. The two then exchange “Muwahahahhaas” and the segment comes to a close.

This prune juice is too sweeeeeeeeeeeeet!

 

The History of John Cena-Edge: Summerslam. Edge defeats John Cena for the WWE Title…in his hometown. Bret Hart needs to sit down Cena and give him a good talking to.

Commercial Break - Completely Real and Completely Bizarre.

Hey. Have you seen John Cena?

Is that a trick question?

7. Steel Cage Match: WWE Champion John Cena pinned Edge

They started this match off with the classic title match in-ring introductions. On one hand, you can say, “Why does this match get the in-ring intros while others don’t?” On the other, you can say that it made the match more special anyway and the fans seemed to realize that this was a match that would be historic in some ways. It’s the final battle of the year’s main Raw feud and it’s happening on Raw. In that sense, it’s pretty cool. Plus, WWE is seeing this show as a season finale. Granted, they don’t call it that because there’s plenty of morons that would think that means the show is ending and stop watching after this week if they do call it that. However, it’s still the week before the big “family reunion,” so you get the feeling that WWE sees this as the big closer on the year before. It used to be that the first Raw after WrestleMania was for that. Now it’s in September. I liked it better when it was after Mania, but whatever. As for the match, I have no complaints at all. You shouldn’t either. WWE has done a tremendous job of showcasing this feud all night. We have back-story. We have a year of buildup. We have a tense rivalry and enough side players to make things interesting. In fact, the end of this one was set up perfectly. Both men were knocked out cold in the ring. Cade and Murdoch suddenly appeared and tried to drag Edge from the ring to the outside. The lifeless R-Rated Superstar slid across the mat, but just as he was about to get out, DX showed up. They hammered Cade and Murdoch and stopped them from helping their Canadian buddy. Copeland regained his composure just as Hunter finished getting rid of Lance. He poked his head throw the door and shouted at the boss’s son-in-law. However, it wasn’t the Game that Adam needed to worry about. It was HBK. On the other side of the cage door, Shawn was setting up Trevor for a Superkick. Once he nailed it, the door slammed shut and slapped the challenger in the head as it did. Lita’s man stumbled backwards and into the arms of John Cena. Next came the F-U and the 1,2,3. Your champion - John Cena.

Excellent match and great way to end Raw. Sure, DX took away some of the spotlight from Cena, but you have to just accept that it’s going to be like that. Acceptance - the last step. The reigning WWE Champion holds up his title and celebrates as the season finale of Raw fades to black.

All in all…Great main event tonight.  As for the show, some parts were better than others, but the good parts were pretty good.  The bad stuff wasn't completely bad per se.  It was just overkill of certain characters, if you know what I mean. 

I wasn’t into the DX thing all show. It was just too much. For starters, it makes no sense that they can suddenly strip champions of titles. That’s inconsequential, though. Any sense of logic as it relates to WWE’s on-air power chain was thrown out the window years ago. That being said, I still thought it was too much DX. Even if you like them, you have to admit that there’s such a thing as “too much of a thing.” I felt like this was the first real night of hardcore DX overkill in a while.  Almost every segment came back to them.  It was to the point where even if you knew nothing about the politics of WWE, you could watch this episode of Raw and know that something is up.

I feel like Eric Bischoff is dying or something. He’s like an old man on his deathbed telling stories about murdering the Black Dahlia. Weird. God bless him, though. You tell ‘em, Bischoff. You and Wayne Arnold tell the world.

The main event was great. You have to respect both of these guys. They really carried the year and provided a solid feud from day one until now. Since January, Edge and Cena have been battling for the WWE Title. What’s strange is that it doesn’t seem that long. That’s a testament to both guys. I mean, hell, the DX-McMahons feud is just as old and I feel like it’s been going on for 12 years. The match itself, especially the finish, was done really well. I was genuinely impressed by the contest and the buildup they gave it throughout the show.

There you go, guys. Another Raw is in the record books and we can all breathe easy for another week. You got to see the Spirit Squad in ladies clothes. That’s gotta be worth the price of admission, right? Well, considering that admission was free. That’s it for the Insanity this Monday. I’ll be here next week for Homecoming though. In case you’re on the prowl for some Insanity until then, there’s plenty around.

For starters, we put up two brand new free audios on WorldWrestlingInsanity.com this past week. First, I checked in with my free post-TNA Impact Audio on Thursday Night. I offer my immediate thoughts on Total Nonstop Action’s first Impact following the big Kurt Angle…uh, angle.

Then, there’s an all new edition of JG‘s Radio Free Insanity featuring the outspoken Glen “Disco Inferno“ Gilberti. Glen shoots straight from the lip on a variety of subjects including Ring of Honor, lack of selling in wrestling, TNA’s X-Division, his near-debut for WWE in the mid-90s, neurotic WCW Main Eventers, John Cena’s character, and more.


For those of you who want to hear Disco go in depth on more subjects, including The Millionaire’s Club vs. New Blood, Vince Russo, Eric Bischoff, who he’d like to wrestle, and much more, you can. The full 43 Minute Shoot is up and available at ClubWWI.com. Disco definitely isn’t dead. It’s alive and well and letting everyone know his unfiltered opinion on the business.


In the last week alone, members of ClubWWI.com have had over four hours of new audio to choose from. You can hear Dr. Tom Prichard’s “Tuesdays With Tom” Audio Report, one of my post show audio updates, Uncle Ralph’s “Not Safe For Anyone” Audio Update, Mike Rickard’s Great Moments in Wrestling, The World According to ZAH, Mallory Mahling’s UFC Report, and much much more. Not to mention that you get all the Radio Free Insanity archives featuring interviews with Christian Cage, Samoa Joe, Scott Steiner, Christy Hemme, Earl Hebner, A.J. Styles, Chris Daniels, Bobby Heenan and many, many more. Over 50 hours of audio await you the moment you sign up. Your Ipod will thank you.

Until next week, Be Well and thanks for sharing our Insanity!
