Is it wrong that I wanted Cena to turn heel so all the little kids would cry?
Still not too keen on a team of heels and babyfaces.
John Cena promo/Jericho interrupts
- I’m pretty sure we sat near all those Cena marks when Mrs. Atomic and I went to Tables, Ladders and Chairs in that building.
- Actually, Cena, there was warning. Barrett basically told us that he was going to do something. Were you not watching the monitor?
- Is a promo really necessary here? We kind of got the point last week.
- I was with him when he said he was Aquaman (hence all the orange), but then that bit went entirely awry.
- Jericho always has a fantastic suit.
- Digging the “Downfall is Jericho” sign. Been loving that show this summer.
- Remember kids, I live in Austin. Not in San Antonio with all these bottom feeders.
- I wonder if they’re building to September’s feud.
- I swear I just heard Cena’s voice crack.
- Jericho appears to be speaking for the smart fans.
- Are the fans booing the GM or Michael Cole?
- Okay, I like elimination matches.
Randy Orton vs Jay Uso with Jimmy Uso and Tamina
- Poor Sheamus. He gets a sunburn every time he comes to Texas.
- Will the Usos please shut the lights off when they’re done?
- Did Jimmy steal that getup from The Mean Street Posse?
- Oh, hello MIz. I guess we should get used to this.
- I have to agree with Michael Cole. Orton has finally hit his stride. This is the best I’ve seen from him since the summer prior to his babyface turn in 2004.
Edge butters up Ted DiBiase and Maryse
- Forgive me for spending this promo gawking at Maryse.
- I’d want Khali around. He’s actually good for getting multiple Nexus guys eliminated.
Sheamus and Miz are interrupted by the GM
- Okay, this might be decent.
Woohoo! The MegaPowers!
Oh, that’s right. Can’t show Hogan or Savage. Fucking Honky.
Edge and Khali backstage
- Is there really a Hindi word for “nincompoop?”
The Great Khali with Runjin Singh vs Edge (I guess this was a no-contest.)
- It’s a little painful to have Cole alone on commentary.
- Hello Nexus. Thanks for making this match more bearable.
Elimination Match: The Nexus vs Jerry Lawler, Yoshi Tatsu, Evan Bourne, Mark Henry, Goldust and The Hart Dynasty
- It’s the Raw Midcard and color man. Nexus must be quaking in their boots.
- I now want to see Bourne vs Gabriel one on one.
- That flying fistdrop was the only time Cole has said “vintage” and been right.
- However, Michael Cole is still unable to do math.
- I’m mildly amused that half these guys couldn’t beat each other and now they’re plowing through Raw.
- Down to the two smallest male members of the main roster. Amusing booking as well.
- Can I watch a show with just Nexus? Oh, wait, I did. And they weren’t nearly this interesting.
- Otunga is a bit sloppy with his Spinebuster.
Nexus promo
- Damn, these guys haven’t learned to talk yet, have they? Ugh, poor segment.
Miz and Sheamus backstage
- Do they need to dent that Halliburton any further?
Brie Bella with Nicki Bella vs Alicia Fox
- So what’s the line on the switcheroo bit happening again?
- Switcheroo interruptus?
- If heels keep beating up Jillian, will she quit singing and turn face?
Ted DiBiase with Maryse vs John Morrison
- King has women like Maryse on his arm all the time. Well, at least in terms of age.
- Lawler has switched to Diet Coke? Did he drop the Twinkies as well?
- Very little interest in this feud. I like both these guys, but they’ve done nothing to make me care.
- Morrision has a beard coming in. Mixed with this loss and falling out with Truth, I smell a heel turn coming. Huzzah!
I want a Slurpee. That is all.
Randy Orton interview
- That was Orton’s audition reel for The Jersey Shore.
The Miz and Sheamus vs Chris Jericho and John Cena
- This match is just a party of weird haircuts.
- Cameraman under Jericho choking Sheamus deserves an award. That was a fantastic shot.
- Can Miz cash in the contract during a match? If so, that’s what I’d do.
- Jericho’s springboard dropkick looked great.
- Hmm, is Eugene the GM? Does anyone remember Eugene?
- It appears Cena doesn’t know the tag rules. That rope is there for a reason.
- Great logic there for Jericho. Why would he want Cena to win? Additionally, huge
- Well, looks like someone in creative realized that we couldn’t heels and faces playing nice together.
