The RAW Events
— Yeah, well mid- terms definitely suck and so far I don’t think they like me either as they’ve been nothing but a pain in the ass for me, but hey I just got one more tomorrow and I should be good for two or three weeks anyway. But since I really need to study we got a special Raw Events tonight- the Cliff note version! Common, how many of you out there don’t like cliff notes, I mean we all love school right!?

Live: Fresno, Ca.

The MAIN Events a.k.a for tonight: The report card!
Just cuz I say so (and to keep the theme going of school tonight… sigh) I’m adding a letter grade tonight to keep things interesting. Who knows, maybe someone will get an “A” tonight, like the one I’m suppose to get tomorrow!

– Shawn Michaels vs. Big Show vs. Kane
Lots of back and forth things go on with both Giants looking like, well, Giants as they mainly take control of the match slugging each other out with HBK sitting out the majority of the match ‘injured’. But gets the easy pickings, sweet chining both men (a botched one at that against Kane off the top rope) and getting the win.
Winner: Shawn Michaels (2) Grade: B-

– Viscera vs. HHH
Flair gets the jump on HHH before the match even starts, prompting half of the locker room security and refs to come out and break things up as the match doesn’t even take place at all.
Winner: No Contest (5) Grade: “W” for withdrawal

– Mickey James w/ Trish & Ashley vs. Victoria w/ Torrie & Candace Michelle
You know the drill, the girls get to strut their stuff all around the ring, while… oh yeah, a match is suppose to be going on. Mickey’s first solo debut in the WWE as Victoria dominates the majority of the match before James gets the roll up for the win.
Winner: Mickey James (3) Grade: C

– Lance Murdoch & Trevor Murdoch vs. Rosey
Rosey gets the short end of the stick in this match as Hurricane, who now wants to go by his semi-real name Gregory Helms, no- shows and leaves his partner in a handicap match. However, Helms does show up at the ramp to watch the mayhem to give the easy win to the tag champs by the ‘sweet and sour’ finisher.
Winner: Lance Murdoch & Trevor Murdoch (4) Grade: C

– John Cena vs. Kurt Angle w/ Special referee: Mick Foley
Cena actually starts things off on fire tonight and seems to be on top of his game, sending Angle out the ring about two times before a commercial break hits. But as we come back from the break, things change to all Angle… is it me, or can Angle pull of looking like a badass football player with that mouthpiece. Mick get knocked out, like any good ref here does, by a Carlito interference and Bischoff runs down as the backup ref just as Angle locks in the ankle lock. But just as Cena is about to make the ropes, Bischoff calls for the bell making Cena tap himself by hitting his hand down onto the mat.
Winner: Kurt Angle (1) Grade: B+

Quick HEAT

— Cena rides Nascar style

— Small little segment takes place as King tries to rag on Coach in how it was like getting embarrassed by Stone Cold last week and even shows the clips from it too as Austin throws beer in Coach’s hat. Ugh… sorry, I still think King should have been fired too.

— Coach calls Austin out as the glass shatters and the music hits with Austin’s truck barreling down hallways backstage. But instead of the rattlesnake coming out, we get Stone Cold Stephanie McMahon who as usual looks like if she’s about to fall out of her blouse.

— Foley makes his way down to the ring to interrupt things between Steph and the Coach to back up JR and says how Stephanie and her family always tends to ruin the business he loves. But doesn’t get very far as Carlito comes down to beat Mick after Steph kicks him down low. Tsk, tsk, tsk, the McMahon ladies and their kicking.

— Flair pleads after his attack on HHH to the fans to get a cage match at Taboo Tuesday.

— Edge, Lita, and Chris Masters trash talk Smackdown with JBL in the back as they set up the Raw vs. Smackdown Taboo Tuesday match. With the fans getting the chance to pick two Smackdown superstars to face off against Chris and Edge. Smackdown’s choices are: Matt Hardy, Rey Mysterio, Christian, Bob Holly, and JBL. And to fall for the “oldest trick in the book” JBL baits Masters out to the parking lot giving Mysterio a chance to sneak into the ring and attack Edge and give Lita the 619.

— Vinnie Mac struts his stuff out too and again lets us all know how he fired JR for the one- hundredth time. And even lets us know how JR was full of shit… literally by doing a parody of JR’s colon surgery, which was actually pretty funny by the way.

RAW Analysis
— Eh, not a very good report card looking at things overall, and that isn’t a good sign as that’s they way things have been for Raw for the last two weeks or so now. Especially since they have a PPV in a week from tomorrow, so lets just hope their just saving things for next Monday and step it up a notch. If not, then Taboo Tuesday is going to be very taboo indeed. Well, USC and UTEP won of course this past week so do I even have to say anymore!? Let’s just hope not, because I still got an all nighter to pull with the EVENT of a test I’m gonna have tomorrow. Take care and lets see how things go next Monday in Halloween, I’m still up in the air in whether I’m actually going to be here or not to cover Raw, so till then as usual, Peace!
