So two weeks off and I get all sleepy and was half tempted to not even show up. I need a nap, but you know what… you filthy bastiches.. I’m here! WE’RE HERE! We’re ready to kick some Rabble ass!

For those who don’t know what the Rabble is… WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN!? Ok, so we’re fans of wrestling. We’re fans of being jackasses. We combined those like the proverbial peanut butter and baby seal and came up with the idea to sit and mock the show we watch. Thus, the Rabble.

Now the Rabblites:
– JEFFREY – The Bartender & Baby New Year
– BILL – The Artist & Baby Huey
– HERNANDEZ – The Native American & Baby Tatanka
– JENNA – The Security Guard & Baby Boss Man
– MIKE – The Garden State God & Ooh, Baby Baby
Your Host:
– JAMES HATTON – The Web Cartoonst & Baby Raper…

So tonight we are going back to Raw Roulette? Neat. Oh, and on New Years Eve, Trips got beaten by Ric Flair! So he’s out of the Rumble… all because William Regal and the Power of the Frigging Punch! NICE!

In the back though, Regal needs to talk to Mr. McMahon right now.
“Do you know what this is?” – Vince McMahon
“..err.. Raw?” – Me
“The first Raw of 2008.. people are expecting something something innovative and special.” – Vince
“And we got NOTHING..” – Bill

Vince then shows us the Raw Roulette wheel. Regal wants to discuss how he took Trips out of the Rumble. Vince liked that, so he wants Trips injured too. So Trips versus William Regal in a ….. clickity clickity… FIRST BLOOD!

So William leaves the room and Trips attacks him! There we go.
“Remember when we were friends in WCW…” – Hernandez

So the credits and to start us off, it’s Shawn Michaels!
“I can’t gamble!” – Me

So apparently last week, Kennedy beat Shawn clean in the ring! Wow. Now though he has to face in Raw Roulette… KENNEDY!
“A Pokemon Match” – Bill

So Kennedy reaches for the mic, but before he gets a chance to speak Vince has to interrupt him. It’s time to hear our stipulation.. spinny spinny..

NO WHAMMY NO WHAMMY NO WHAMMY STOP!

Strange Bedfellows Match

So Shawn & Kennedy are tagging! Versus whom though?

Oh! That’s a cliffhanger!

COMMERCIAL ONE – 9:09

So they are facing… Haas & Murdoch?! Weird.

Anyway, so Kennedy is in the ring with Haas. gets thrown to the ring and Shawn tags himself in. Kennedy drop toe holds him and Shawn grabs Kennedy! He now goes after Haas! Tosses HIM over the top.

So Haas has crawled underneath.
“Don’t go there that’s where Dink is?!” – Hernandez

Haas comes out and now he’s wearing a mask!? Ha. He sticks out his chest. He’s the Red frigging Blazer. Shawn is trying to figure this out and he gets clotheslined by Murdoch. Ouchies.

So tag now to Murdoch. He throws Shawn to the ropes and a jumping big boot. Tag from Murdoch and in comes Masked Haas. Murdoch hits a hard backbreaker on Shawn only to have Haas drops to his feet and THEN elbows Shawn…

Shawn gets to Kennedy for the tag, but guess what, Kennedy ain’t there. Shawn though gets a shot to pull off the mask.
“And the crowd goes silent!” – Bill

Shawn hits the flying cross, the manhattan drop, the bodyslam, and up to the top he goes for the elbow…

Hits it! Superkick to Murdoch. He starts tuning up the band for Haas, but Kennedy tags himself in. Haas eats a superkick and then Kennedy hits the blackjack on Shawn… to pin Haas.
“Kennedy’s tan is running…” – Hernandez
“Oompa Loompa Doopity Dennedy” – Bill

WINNERS: KENNEDY & MICHAELS

Kennedy crawls over Michaels and begins whispering.
“Isn’t this annoying.. isn’t this really annoying to have me this close.” – Hernandez
“Don’t you dare laugh Shawn.. don’t you daaaaare laugh.” – Bill

COMMERCIAL TWO – 9:18

So now Lillian explains that the next match the opponents must dress as each other?!??! Weird.

So Carlito with a little blonde wig is Carlito dressed up like Hardcore Holly.
“Carlito… best wig of the night..” – Bill

Now Hardcore Holly wearing a big fro and holding an apple.
“Lamest gimmick.. ever..” – Me
“You know what iss not cool… it iss not cool that Holly does not shave his balls… it is a fricking forest in here…” – Me

CARLITO vs. HARDCORE HOLLY
No gimmick to speak of

So Holly takes off his shirt and puts on the stupid wig. Carlito then charges right at him and hits the wig right off his face.

Holly gets tossed to the corners and elbowed down and stomped continually.
“Carlito.. aren’t you glad you stayed?” – Me
“No.. dis is shit.. I mean.. not cool.” – Bill

So Carlito continues to stomp him on down. Throws Holly counter corner. PIcks him up and a back suplex from Carlito and right into a knee into Holly’s back.

Holly fights his way up. Carlito hits the neckbreaker. Chop from Carlito! Hard. Snausages!!! Goes for another and Holly ducks underneath it and gets in his own chops.

He drops Carlito and Santino is climbing up on top of the ropes while Holly eats an apple. Dick, aqui. A spit to his face. An Alabama Slam. Done.

WINNER: BOB HOLLY
“So wait.. does this mean that Carlito won?” – Hernandez
“No.. Sideshow Bob.” – Me

Maria in the back with Vince now. Maria gets to decide what the Diva’s match is going to be. She spins… it lands on submission match…. Vince of course decides that’s not a good idea and shifts it to a lingerie pillow fight.
“I was hoping for first blood” – Jeffrey
“Half of them would have lost.” – Hernandez
“They synch up…” – Me

They discuss Maria’s breasts…

COMMERCIAL THREE – 9:30

So we get a flashback to hype Jeff vs. Randy.

“Matt! You are here for one reason…” – Hernandez
“To get your ass handed to you?” – Me
“Exactly..” – Hernandez

In the back Hornswaggle is running around the ring and spinning the hell out of it. So Vince tries to talk but his mic is broken.
“WHUT!?” – Bill

So they cut off the scene and go to talking about the lingerie pillow fight…
“..and a Kiss My Ass… match… du jour..” – Hernandez

COMMERCIAL FOUR – 9:39
