Not a member?
Nothing like a cup of coffee and the Sunday comics, huh? How’s about a bottle of Excedrin and the Monday ‘rasslin’? That’s always fun too. If you agree, then you’re in luck, Chuck. Tonight’s edition of Monday Night Raw is live on tape from California and we’re jam-packed to the rafters with excitement. What will the night bring? Can Edge and Randy Orton forge forward in their friendship and take out the evil threat of DeGeneration X? Has Cryme Tyme trained enough for their debut? There’s so much to wonder about and only one thing to do in order to get some answers. Pop a few aspirin, put up your feet, and bust a move to some K-Fed tunes. It’s Break it down for the Slickster now. Raw is in full swing and we’re joined by our hosts Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler. Get ready for a show to end all shows! We have Johnny Nitro and his mystery A-List celebrity guest. Plus, the debut of Cryme Tyme! So stick around longer than Jimmy Garvin did, because WWE is about to knock your socks on your ass. And now, it’s time for a What’s the matter, Edge? I need new groupies. Oh…sick of the ones you have? No. I don’t mean that I need new groupies instead of the old ones. I need new groupies to replace the old ones. Randy killed them all. You know what wrestling needs more of? People dressing up like their opponents in an effort to mock them. That and midgets. We need more of those two things. You have to wait until Smackdown for your midget fix, but Monday Night Raw is proud to fill your need for imposter skits. It’s Randy Orton and Edge. The dastardly duo seems somewhat different this week, though. Maybe it’s because they’re both dressed up as their DeGeneration X enemies. The Rated RKO Tag Team is dressed in DeGenerate gear and, although it’s not the most original, it’s more dead on than you’d expect. Edge plays the role of Triple H. He sports a hooked nose disguise and fake Chester A. Arthur beard. Orton is Shawn Michaels and it’s even better than the Hunter impersonation. He has leather chaps and a long blonde wig. The funniest part is that Randall seems to have crazy enthusiasm and shows it by dancing around. It’s more energy than he’s had in months. Maybe this should be his gimmick. Too bad Shawn Michaels has it. The FakeGenerates fake heart attacks and do the pose before stepping out of character. The R-Rated Superstar says that if he has to pretend to be DX in order to get the attention of fans, then this all ain’t worth it. Nah ah! He and the Diva Killer are way too talented to be in the spots they are. According to Lita’s protégé, the only people who get off on the Hunter/Michaels act are “12 year olds and idiots like you, and you, and you, and you…” They point throughout the crowd and turn the mic over to Orton. It’s Randy’s turn to go off. Randy use reverse psychology sales skills on the crowd. This goes out to all of you who buy DX merchandise. Orton and A.C. have two words for ya! (JG Note: Good purchase? Flame Retardant? Hand Dry?) You suck! Oh. Eh. Cue DX. DeGeneration Real hits the turf and their foes have now abandoned their mock gear. (JG Note: Well, not Randy. He kept the chaps on for whatever reason. Hey, whatever sails your ship, kid.) Triple H and Shawn Michaels enter the ring and confront their imposters. First up is a question. It’s from Michaels. He wants to know if he looks as ridiculous as Orton does now. Trying to deliver some subtle Hollywood-style response, The Game say, “Shawn, I’m not gonna lie to you…What are you two guys doing?” Bada boom ching. And now, back to our show… Trips cuts down his aggressors with kindness. He says that they’re great wrestlers. They both even compliment Edge’s Live Sex Show. Remember the ratings that thing did? It ruled! Well, not totally. You didn’t “rise to the occasions.” Take a look at this photo on the Titantron: Photo of Edge in his BVDs with a tiny bulge. Ouch. One down. One to go. Guess what they say Randy Orton is. Guess. Guess! Ready…Randy’s the most downloaded celebrity online…in the gay community! HAHAHAHA! GAY! GAY COMMUNITY! GAY PEOPLE! HAHAHA. PEOPLE WHO ARE GAY! Get it? Get it? Ah, Hunt. You slay me. We then go to the clips of Randy Orton online naked with a towel around his privates. The crowd giggles as we look through some of Randall’s most insane half-naked poses. Suddenly, halfway through, we get a shot of Shawn Michaels…from Playgirl Magazine. HBK jumps around and screams that Helmsley told him how “Girls bought that magazine.“ OK. Gotcha, Shawn. Now go download Randy Orton. After this act of photo warfare, Cowboy Bob’s kid makes a challenge. Tonight, Evolution-man, you face the music! Orton vs. Hunter! After agreeing to the match, DeGen comes out of nowhere with a barrage of punches. A brief scuffle ensues and the heels retreat. Philosopher Gerald Lawler of Memphis says it best when he says, “You said there were combustible elements in the ring and that what they did. They combusted!” So true, Gerald. So true. Commercial Break. WWE has a new Hell in a Cell cage for your action figures. Oh, it’s not for kids, mind you. I know that. WWE doesn’t market to children, silly. It’s for my grandpa. He loves playing wrestling figures and wearing WWE Halloween costumes…and cuddling with WWE teddy bears. We’re back and guess who’s at ringside. Yup. The Carter Brothers. No, not Gary Carter from the ‘86 Mets…although that would be awesome. It was Nick and his brother Aaron. They rolled around with each other when the camera shot to them. Why? Because they’re in love. Shelton, why don’t you have your gold teeth in?! Cryme Tyme is debuting next! You’re up next! I’m not in Cryme Tyme. Oh. You mean you’re not that smaller guy? No, man. I’m not! Oh. I, uh, thought this whole time that…uh, hehe. Hey, can I buy you a soda, man? No hard feelings. Please don’t kill me. I’m just here to cue people. 1. Cryme Tyme defeated The Spirit Squad Cryme Tyme are officially bay faces, I guess. I don’t think that’s the best choice for them personally and think this is the second tag team WWE has debuted on the wrong side of the fence. When I first saw a pic of the Highlanders, I thought they’d be the 2006 versions of the Berzerker. To me, that would have been great. You have two Neanderthals in kilts killing people and screaming “Huss!” Instead, they drank out of the toilet. So it goes. Now with Shad Gaspar and JTG, I think WWE would get more mileage out of them as “cool heels.” They have the type of gimmick people will cheer for more if they’re not supposed to. Who knows, though? We have to wait it out. With something like this, only tyme can tell. (JG Note: See what I did there? Yeah. You caught that. Swapping out I’s for Y’s always makes things seem more street.) This match wasn’t anything special, to be honest. It almost seemed anticlimactic in many ways. For weeks, these two street thugs have been mugging and beating white boys from everywhere. Then they debut and end up selling for the whitest boys of them all - The Spirit Squad. The big moment here was when Shad Gaspar was tagged in and opened up all over his cheerleading foes. He screamed “Boom” with each punch, which was pretty funny in a way. In the end, it was a double-team behind the ref’s back by C.T. that scored them a victory in their debut on Raw. Jerry The King mentions that this was quite a coming out party for the new criminals on the block. Jim Ross then says - I kid you not - this: “Well you talk about coming out, coming out a little bit later on tonight a huge, absolutely huge main event, ladies and gentlemen.” Well, hmmm. OK. Seguing to main event hype with the term "coming out." Wouldn't be my first choice, but I'll give it a try. During the break, Kenny and the rest of the Spirit Squad had a bit of a meltdown. It was a combustible element that combusted. In the Raw Interview area, Todd Grisham is joined by Melina the Screama and her fuzzy coated boyfriend, Johnny Nitro. Yo, MN, who’s your A-List guest tonight? Nitro and Mel say that the star will be revealed later tonight. Who can it be? That’s for them to know and for you to find out. So there. Jim Ross says that he saw the Marine on Friday afternoon. Speaking of coming out, let’s take a look at a clip! Clip of the movie the Marine. A complete stranger said the movie was amazing and that she loved John Cena. Well, that settles it. I have to see it now. King Booker T and Queen Sharmell are backstage with Jonathon Coachman. The Smackdowners have been summoned unto Raw at Sir McMahon’s behest. Big Mac wants all the champs here tonight for a big announcement. So just sit tight and eat some of this fizood. But wait… It’sssssssssss Cryme Tyme. Shad and JTG bust on into the scene and it’s a quest for munchies. Free food, son! The new team munches away, hugs Coachman, and express their love for the Queen Bee, Sharmell. Then they look to the King. Yo! Book! You are the bomb! The evil baby faces try to express their love and admiration for the Smackdown Champion and make sure to take off before they accidentally offend anyone. It’s not until they leave that we learn how they stole the wallet of King Book - the man they admire. Suddenly, Mr. T is no longer British. He demands that John Coachman bring their “black asses” back in here right now. (VKM Note: Booker is black. So he can say “black asses.” That’s why we booked him in that spot. Yeah. You like that, huh? Chickens are cocks. Hee hee. Peace.) Commercial Break. My favorite show is coming to USA. It’s that “Dateline: To Catch a Predator” thing. Maybe we can do some cross-overs. They should let Jerry Lawler be the guy who confronts the predators instead of Chris Hanson. That would definitely put a new spin on things. Hey man. This is awesome. I love how the centerplates on these new championship belts spin around. Uh, Jeff, you’re the Intercontinental Champion. It’s just a regular belt. There’s no spinning centerplate on it. Oh…wow. I better drink some more coffee before my match. 2. Intercontinental Champion Jeff Hardy won a four-way match over Super Crazy, Chris Masters, and Shelton Benjamin when he pinned Masters This has been such a bizarre midcard thing with these four guys. It hasn’t done much for character development and continuously makes all involved seem like afterthoughts. At this stage of his return and title reign, Jeff Hardy needs one particular opponent. He vanquished Johnny Nitro and did his weird little painting thing, but after that he should have transitioned to one foe. The irony here is that any of the guys he’s currently in the group feud with would have been fine. A singles conflict with Masters, Crazy, or Benjamin would have been enough to solidify Hardy on the show and reacquaint people with him. The move to push Super Crazy is still confusing in some ways. While they’ve given him exposure in the ring, you’d think they would have done a few skits to get over his gimmick. Let him go crazy, so to speak. Sic him on some unsuspecting divas. That would be awesome. Either way, the match itself is good. Then again, that’s expected when you’re dealing with four guys who can hold their own. Even Masters, who gets a lot of critiques, has raised his game since the comeback. He’s always been proficient in the ring and had things not gone the way they did, he would have been a top star already. It’s just a matter of getting him the right gimmick. Maybe he can do a tag team or something for a while. Put him with Haas. There has to be something better for him besides being the mini-Masterpiece with a goatee. That’s just not him anymore and it never really was. It was Lex Luger. This match played out better than those six-pack match debacles. They focused more on two guys at a time instead of everyone together. It gave all the finishers and highspots more opportunity to shine. In the end, when Jeff nailed The Goateed Narcissist with a Swanton Bomb, the fans were behind him. The Hardly Boy continues his title reign. That gives him a clue. A raging clue. King Booker is talking to a pair of royal rent-a-cops. He reports the Cryme Tyme cryme from earlier, but is unable to describe them because “they all look alike.” Wow. Before he can file his full complain, Bookie is interrupted by the ECW Champion Big Show. Biggie is wearing street clothes and looks like a giant 12 year old. Now that we have all the champions together, Vince McMahon can make his big announcement. The chairman comes into the scene and says…wait. Where’s John Cena? Damnit! Find Cena, Coachman. This is going to be a major announcement. What could that mean? Stay tuned. Commercial Break. I’m looking forward to Destroy All Humans 2 for Playstation 2. I like the imagination and the strategy involved with…OK. Fine. I like picking up people with my mind and throwing them into traffic. There I said it.Cyber Sunday promo spot hypes that one man will be “Champion of Champions.” What’s that? Never heard of it. Hmmm. Hey, so I wonder what Mr. McMahon’s big announcement is going to be. What a minute…! Johnny Nitro and Melina are in the house, complete with a red carpet and fake cameramen. (JG Note: Not the kind of fake cameramen that throw fireballs in Hulk Hogan’s face. More like fake cameramen that take pictures.) Nitro and his lady friend make their point clear. Tonight they have a special guest. He’s an A-lister! He’s an act-or! He’s a rapper! Plus, he’s Johnny and Melly’s very special friend…Kevin Federline! Cue Kevin Federline. The Moredcai Guy? No. I said Federline. Oh. He’s here? I was wondering what that smell was. Kevin Federline? No foolies? No foolies. K-Fed rolls up in and he’s not very loved. The crowd boos him and he embraces it. Mr. Britney tells the audience off. He demands that the crowd show him, Johnny, and Lina some respect. They can boo, but they’re out there buying magazines with his face in them every single week! He calls the crowd a bunch of posers and the whole scene is just surreal is hell. Embracing his scummy rep, Federline seems to have made it a character. Then, it gets even more insane. After getting himself over big-time as a heel, he sells his album! He teases a live performance but then tells the crowd that they’ll just have to buy his CD when it hits stores. Oh snap. You all got served! Cue John Cena. Isn’t he already out there? That’s Kevin Federline. John Cena has arrived and there’s good reason. Cena chastises K-Fed for not performing tonight. You’re cheating the fans, son. Ya know. Now look, the WWE Champion may be a bit rusty and not have your Federline skills, but he’d like to bust out an old school freestyle on yo’ ass right up in here! “The album’s called “playing with Fire,“ The only reason people know you is because your fame and fortune’s built-in,
Say what you want about Captain Poop, but that was hilarious. It was the highlight of the night and the best possible way to get John over right after his movie “dropped,“ as the kids say. Cena’s little dig on himself was great despite the obvious line flub (JG Note: Seems like he was supposed to rhyme something with “street cred.” I’m thinking “K-Fed.”) Kevin was offended by this verbal attack, but Mr. Spears had no idea what was next. He sent Nitro to defend him, but it did him no good. John beat Johnny from the ring, but was then greeted by the music of the Big Show. …Then King Booker. Yes, it’ s all three Champions. What’s that you're asking? “Didn’t we unify the two World Titles four years ago?" Yup. We did. Now there’s three. Anyway, Mr. McMahon follows the Champions to the ring and The Britney Spearer looks confused. Vince McMahon then makes his big announcement. These three men will be fighting to determine the Champion of Champions! But wait, there’s another announcement. Yes, to paraphrase the epic film, Clue, that commercial was just a red herring. Here’s the big announcement…Kurt Angle. No. No. Wrong company. Actually the announcement is that in the interest of interactivity, Daddy Mac has decided that fans can log onto WWE.com to vote for which Champion will be defending his title at Cyber Sunday. That's right! You make the choice, beeches! Vote away! Once the announcement is made, everyone leaves. Well, everyone except for John Cena, that is. The Marine stays behind and holds his Spinny Title. Staring off into the aisle way, he’s greeted by a chorus of cheers and chants. John stops and notices that Kevin Federline is still in the hizzy. Yo, K-Fed. Tell you what. You’re always bitching and moaning, right? Well, Cena has an idea. Bring yo’ butt into the ring and help the fans make a decision. Get on the mic and tell the audience who you’re voting for. Surely you’ll influence people. Federline responds with this: “Yours! I want to see you get your ass kicked up and down this ring.” Cena throws down his microphone and so does 165 pound Kevin Federline. Will a fight break out? No. You’re only half right. As the Fed looked into the crowd, The Doctor of Thuganomics lifted him up and hit him with an F-U. Lawler screamed that WWE would be sued for this assault while Ross remarked that Cena has just “Accessed Hollywood.” Speaking of coming out, DX faces Edge and Orton tonight! Stay tuned! With Optimum Online, you get unlimited calling to your friends in the U.S., Canada, and Puerto Rico. If you have any Canadian-born Puerto Rican friends living in the U.S., Optimum actually gives you money. 3. Carlito pinned Rob Conway after a backcracker Apparently during the break, Rob Conway cut a promo about how he’s underappreciated. How ironic is that? He did a promo about being unappreciated…and they did it during a commercial break. Oh, Rob. They’re conning you. Even after that monumental commercial break promo, Conway couldn’t come out on top. Afro Joe cracked his back, scored a pin, and then spit apple chewings all over his fallen opponent. Speaking of coming out and apple chewings, Vince McMahon is wandering along backstage when he’s met by Edge and Lita. The R-Rated Superdude tells Vinnie that he has some plans for DX. The chairman sees what he’s saying. Tell you what, how’s about a match at Cyber Sunday? Heck, how about a tag match? You and Orton against DeGeneration X? You down? Copeland likes what Copeland hears, but he offers an idea. What if the fans call in to pick the guest ref? They could pick Eric Bischoff or John Coachman or Charles Nelson Reilly or anyone! How about it, boss? VKM thinks it over, but decides that it’s a good idea. You get two silver marbles, my boy. Here, here. Commercial Break. Why do they even bother rating a game like Mortal Kombat? They have to put “M For Mature” on it? Look. If you’re buying your kid a game called “Mortal Kombat” and you need a rating to tell you it’s violent, then you’re a dope. Oh, and the same thing goes for “Dead Rising“. WWE 24/7 Presents: Jimmy Snuka vs. Don Muraco in the steel cage. I remember watching this match on VHS as a kid. It was the one where Snuka backdropped Muraco out of the cage and then hit the top of the cage Superfly leap. Awesome stuff. Worst part of this clip? The voice over guy pronounced Jimmy Snuka as Jimmy Snooooooka. Todd Grisham is in love with Steve-O and Chris Pontius from Jackass. He gives them a live a mic and they greet the audience. They both cut wrestling style promos and seem pretty wasted…and short. I never realized how tall Grisham is. Anyway, all of this is a mini train-wreck until everyone has to excuse Armando Alejandro Estrada. Big Lalo tells the Jackasses that it’s all an act. They can’t be that crazy, can they? Steve-O confirms that, yes, he is crazy. He tells Lou Bega to bring it on and Estrada does just that. Bring out the Samoan Bulldozer…Ooooooooooooooooo MAGA! Everyone acts surprised. Considering he’s the only person that Mando manages, I can’t imagine who else they expected him to bring out. Tim Allen? Umaga marches to the ring and Jackass Crew looks like they have no fear at all. They remove their shirts and it seems like it’s time for Maggie to create a story that he’s going to be telling people for a long time. He’ll call it, “The Night I beat the living snot out of the guys from Jackass.” It was stiff. It was brutal. With both of the glorified stuntmen getting knocked around like rag dolls, the Bulldozer seemed to get himself over…for a second. Then Steve-O sat up and laughed, but got caught. Umy returned to the ring and chopped him down to the ground. Once laid out, he found himself the victim of a crushing body splash…but still didn’t sell it. Jamal then picked him up and dropped him on his shoulder, kicking him the whole time. Still not selling, but obviously in pain, Steve begged off in a comic way and Maga looked completely bewildered and confused. It was as if you could see him thinking, “Should I just choke this guy to death?” Luckily, he let him live and just tossed in some parting shots for good measure. Good segment to a point. It was a mistake to not have this thing start in the ring and then end with a pre-taped second-half backstage. That way you can edit the video to make it look like - I don’t know - wrestling moves hurt people. Hey, at least we know that Sonjay Dutt enjoyed that segment. Clip From The Marine: “Everybody loves an explosion.” Oh yeah? Then why is everybody so mad at North Korea? At ringside: The 36 Mafia. While at ringside, they killed the Carter Brothers. 4. Maria won a four-way Bra and Panties match over Candice Michelle, Torrie Wilson, and Victoria You’re going to think this is a plug, but it’s all good. I spoke with “Ivory” Lisa Moretti about this in her extended interview on ClubWWI.com. The way the women’s division is presented contradicts itself throughout the same night. While a tournament is a good tool to make people respect a title, a bra and panties match isn’t. It’s like saying, “Hey. Let’s puts these two guys in an iron man match. That’ll make fans respect them! Oh, oh…and let’s put the match in a vat of pudding.” In the end, Maria won and it advanced the tournament one more week. Who will be the new Women’s Champion? Who will keep her bra and panties? Sex! Sports! Sexual Sports Entertainment! Ding, dong. Hooray! Smackdown Rebound. Batista beat Finlay and earned himself a match against Booker T…with John Cena and Big Show in attendance. Michael Cole says that the Animal wants his title back. You damn right. You don’t mess with George Steele, baby. Speaking of George The Animal Steele coming out to chew apples, DX takes on Edge and Randy…next! Commercial Break. I can’t wait for Saw 3. Sad how I can’t wait to watch a movie about torture and murder. So it goes. I’m a product of society.
4. Triple H pinned Randy Orton after a Pedigree There was no reason for Triple H to win this match. Before you take out your foam sledgehammers and burn down my house, hear me out. It has nothing to do with Triple H. Pretend that this isn’t about Triple H and Randy Orton. Pretend it’s a feud between Heywood Jablomie and Oliver Klozoff. Heywood’s career went downhill since losing to Oliver in 2004. Oliver continues to win. Heywood continues to lose. Then one day, Michael Hunt approaches Jablomie with some tough talk. He tells him that his career is on hold because he was punked out by the reigning king of Raw, Oliver. This leads to a feud and a match between Heywood and Oliver. In their first encounter, wouldn’t you expect Heywood to get a victory, thus proving that he’s on par with his new/old foe? Wouldn’t it make sense? Given the basis of the feud, you need the loser-guy to beat the winner-guy early on in order to sell him as a credible threat. Anything other than that is counterproductive. Again, my criticism has nothing to do with the people involved here. If you’re still thinking that it does, all I can say is “Heywood Jablomie.” As for the match, Lita came down about halfway through and joined Edge at ringside in pummeling on Hunter. Copeland savagely attacked and DDTed the Cerebral Assassin’s Cerebellum into the hard unforgiving ringside floor. He tossed the Game back in for some obligatory Randy restholds. After a few more near falls, The Legend Killer seemed frustrated with his inability to defeat the King of Kings. He continued with punches and kicks, but that did him no good. It’s his show. It’s his basement. It’s his rules. Hunter’s got your number, kid. After some come from behind offense, Helmsley found himself thumbed in the eye. Although temporarily dazed, hHh regained his composure briefly, only to be knocked down again thanks to some R Rated distraction. Trips came back again, but was stopped by interference for the third time. Three strikes and you’re out, heels. HBK got involved at this point and stopped Orton from swinging a chair at his DX partner. The steel weapon fell from Ort’s hand and ended up in the possession of Mr. Stephanie. The ref had his back turned…and must be deaf, because he didn’t hear the brutal chairshot behind him. Randall fell, Hunt hit the Pedigree. With that, it was all over but the shouting. Ahhhh! OK. Now it’s over. Speaking of coming out, Copeland and his sweaty friend retreat from the ring while Jim Ross reminds us that his war is only beginning. You bet. We’re pretty sure that Randy Orton and Edge have weapons of mass destruction. Let’s go in! Sweaty and the Canadian moonwalk up the ramp as we fade to black. All in all…this was what I was expecting on last week’s big show. With all the celebrity usage and focus on new angles, this was the best Raw in a long time. I think the celebrity crossovers were a great idea. Many of wrestling’s celebrity tie-ins have been successful for business. Cindi Lauper, Mr. T, Mike Tyson, and others have all helped the business get some mainstream attention. Sure, you get an occasional Lawrence Taylor, but when used correctly, celebs can be a big deal. John Cena’s F-U on Kevin Federline was great. With his appearance on CSI getting replayed over and over online thanks to a punch in his face, K-Fed is the man you love to see pummeled. What better way to get Cena over than that? If I had to pick an outside name for John to beat up for a pop, Kevin would be in the top five right beside Ashley Simpson, Osama Bin Laden, Mark Foley, and the “Can you hear me now?” cell phone commercial guy. As for the Jackass crew, that was a crossover they should have done years ago. I always scratched my head in wonder as to why WWE never grabbed Bam Margera’s crew or Johnny Knoxville to come and get destroyed by one of their monsters. Now they did it. Good move. Even better for the company is the fact that it makes TNA look ever so foolish. They devote the gimmicks of four young stars to the movie without one appearance. WWE all but ignores the film, then brings in the stars to get beat up by Umaga. Nice. WWE - our ring has four sides, but only one Jackass. (JG Note: Insert your own joke here) The only drawback is having the whole thing play out in the ring. They should have had it begin in the ring and then go backstage. From there, they could have played a pre-taped beat down on Steve-O and Chris Pontius. Any research could have told you that he might be like this. There’s tons of video footage to warn them including this trashed appearance on Adam Corolla‘s show. The DX-Orton/Edge feud has one major thing going for it. It’s not DX-McMahons. Other than that, it still has some proving to do. If they decide to make Edge and Randy a bonafide stable, then things could get interesting. Play up their player lifestyle and toss in some mid card guys to do bumper duty. You know, whenever Copeland or Ort are confronted by their foes, they can send their buddies out to bump for them. Sort of like how Randy was used in Evolution, only without the twirling. Rob Conway is underused and they put his underused promo on during the commercial. The ironing is delicious. Rob has a busload of potential too. He and Nick Dinsmore were the talk of OVW for so long. Now one’s a mascot and the other’s a guy who has his ring introductions take place off-air. It’s wasted talent. As a whole, this was a really good episode of Raw. If they were like this more often, this wrestling thing could be more exciting. Next week, bring in Yanni and Eric Estrada. I’d tune in…and recommend it to a friend too!
