What better way to kick off Monday Night Raw from Omaha than with the mouth of the WWE Mr. Kennedy? (I can think of a few!) He talks about Cyber Sunday which will be taking place this coming Sunday on Pay-Per-View. He is making fun of the contenders for the WWE title Shawn Michaels and Jeff Hardy. He compares Jeff Hardy to Hillary Clinton saying he won't get the job done because like Hilary he has no testicles. (wow!) He compares Shawn to Rudy Giuliani and says that like Mr. Giuliani he lives in the past. Mr. Kennedy sure isn't being very sportsman like tonight. He is tooting his own horn by mentioning his triumphs in past matches which are all very impressive. However this is not a political election and Mr. Kennedy needs to just shut up and wrestle! Thankfully enough we are saved by Jeff Hardy who comes out to interrupt the mouth. The insults begin to fly. The fans are obviously behind Hardy. (Can't say I blame them!) Hardy points out just how much the Kennedy has failed lately, so now the tempers are really starting to fly. The fight is on and Kennedy and Hardy go at it in the squared circle. Randy Orton gets involved and then out comes Shawn Michaels. All four men are in the ring and tearing it up. This is going to be one explosive night!
A six person mixed tag match with Paul London, Brian Kendrick and Mickie James vs Cade, Murdock and Melina. The tag champs never looked so good than to have Melina in their corner! There is some nice tag exchange and teamwork by London and Kendrick. The women get tagged in and the cat fight begins. Melina tags out and Murdock jumps in while Mickie leaves. The guys get their fight on yet again. There has got to be more tag teams out there than just London and Kendrick and The Highlanders to fight the tag champs. I yearn for the days of DX, those guys could show these fellas how it's done. London Kendrick and Mickie pick up the win!
If you have not checked out the 2007 Diva Search please do so on wwe.com. It's down to the final three so it's coming down to the wire guys! (and girls!) Go online and vote for your favorite tonight! The three finalists are going to make their appearance on Raw tonight to promote the competition. I'll try to contain my envy! =D
Cody Rhodes has a run in backstage with Shelton Benjamin and Charlie Haas. Benjamin and Rhodes will lock up tonight and there is no love exchanged between these men. I look forward to this match up, I hope Rhodes can finally get off his losing streak.
William Regal and Jonathan Coachman are talking backstage. Coach is trying to get a match with Hornswaggle tonight to get the "little guy" out of the picture for the McMahon family so he doesn't cut in on Shane or Stephanie's inheritance. Coach then adds in that he doesn't want to fight Hornswaggle himself, but that the leprechaun and the Samoan Bulldozer Umaga will meet up in the ring tonight. William Regal takes this into consideration and the match will be made. I know it's all in good fun, but I don't hardly think that is a fair match up. A leprechaun vs. a Samoan, talk about the ultimate David and Goliath battle. I hope Hornswaggle shows his McMahon side and wins it!
Cody Rhodes comes out for his match up with Shelton Benjamin. Rhodes has a huge order to fill being the son of the legendary Dusty Rhodes. No pressure or anything. Shelton Benjamin has some fantastic wrestling ability so it seems like he may have a slight advantage over Rhodes. I may not like the attitude of Benjamin as of late, but he is one hell of an athlete. It's a crazy win for Cody Rhodes who reverses a roll up by Benjamin to win the match. When Benjamin and Haas start to beat Rhodes after the bell who runs out to save Rhodes? None other than Bob Holly! I never saw that one coming. I would love to see a teaming of these two men, it would be wonderful. Hardcore Holly nods his head and seems to be please with the spirit of Cody Rhodes. Could this be the respect that Rhodes needed to earn from the Hardcore legend? I believe so!
D.H. Smith the son of the British Bulldog makes his first appearance on Monday night Raw and will be facing the very cool Carlito. It's always a pleasure to see the next generation of stars come out and show their colors. Smith looks like a fine athlete and resembles his legendary father 100%. Carlito should feel honored to be in the ring with such talent. Of course Carlito is too hell bent on winning to notice much else, but hey everyone's got a job to do! Smith wins a huge victory dedicated to his legendary father the British Bulldog. I'm all smiles about this one, good luck to Smith for future battles!
Hornswaggle McMahon vs Umaga is the next match. I don't see why everyone has it in for the little guy, I think he'd be just fine if everyone would just leave him alone. I'm definitely cheering for the underdog on this one! Hornswaggle's music starts but he doesn't come out right away. He was under the ring and he looks so broken hearted to have to fight Umaga. He looks like he's been condemned to death, poor little guy. Coach keeps taunting Hornswaggle to get in the ring. The little guy is very hesitant, can you blame him? Hornswaggle runs to the back and out comes Triple H in his place to fight Umaga. It's looking like the Game is On!
This match up begins and it's a street fight of sorts. Triple H is in his street clothes and absolutely destroying Umaga. A slew of referees come out to ringside to try to pull these two men apart and it's not very effective. Triple H grabs a chair but Umaga gets him down again. Damn I haven't seen a fight like this in years! Triple H won't let the officials leave with Umaga, he keeps jumping on him (literally!) How many men does it take to stop a cerebral assassin and a Samoan Bulldozer? Obviously more than what was a ringside tonight...
Just when I thought that I might get by with escaping the stupidity of Santino Marella tonight, out he comes. The only redeeming thing about him coming out ringside is Maria. He is promoting the 500th edition of WWE magazine which comes out to a store near you tomorrow! Again Santino is ragging on Stone Cold Steve Austin. In the middle of Santino's rant that strange computer code appeared on the Titan Tron. This odd code has been appearing for weeks and no one knows what it is or who is responsible for it. Finally out comes Ron Simmons to shut up Marella. Their match begins. There is bad blood between these two that leaves Maria in the middle. She likes Ron as a friend but she's dating Santino. It's silliness. Santino delivers a very visible low blow to Ron Simmons and gets himself disqualified. He does not agree with that decision, well he should have thought of that before kicking someone in the family jewels. He leaves the ring with Maria on his arm, at least that's something to be proud of!
A two out of three falls match between the Glamazon Beth Phoenix and Candace Michelle explodes in the ring. I don't think I've ever seen a two out of three falls match between women before, this could be interesting. It always amazes me the crazy outfits (or lack thereof) that these women fight in, they are just asking for a wardrobe malfunction. They must use some heavy duty spirit gum to attach these bits of fabric. Candace Michelle is digging down deep to try to beat the Glamazon, but Beth powers back and wins the first fall of the two fall match up. Beth Phoenix is absolutely powering over Candace Michelle tonight. For every hit that Candace gets in her favor, Beth powers right back with more. Suddenly from nowhere Candace gets her second wind and gets a two count on Beth. She is relentless in her fight and continues to pin the Glamazon. A bad accident where Candace fell off the turnbuckle leaves Beth Phoenix to finish the match. She pulls Candace Michelle to the center of the ring and pins her for the win by prompting of the referee. The EMT's get a stretcher out to ringside and she is taken to a medical facility. I will update you on her condition as information is released. It was a complete accident and Beth did not do it on purpose, Candace just wasn't ready to be shaken off the top rope quite like that. My prayers are with Candace tonight as she is tended to by medics.
The show must go on and the tag team match up between Randy Orton and Mr. Kennedy vs. Shawn Michaels and Jeff Hardy begins. Here's a bit of information for you reading this. Did you know that Shawn Michaels intro music is being sung by him and Sensational Sherry? Who would have thought that Shawn Michaels was such a good musician? Sorry I got distracted typing by Jeff Hardy's intro. (Ha Ha). I have always loved Jeff Hardy because of his extreme wrestling ability and I love to see what color his hair will be each week. Mr. Kennedy is walking to the ring with a no nonsense gait and he's all business. No bells or whistles for him tonight. The out comes the Champ Randy Orton. Will these guys be able to stay partnered up in the teams that they have been put in or will this match become a free for all once that bells rings. I'm not sure. Orton is the ultimate hunted in this match even though his tag team partner Mr. Kennedy has agreed to help their team win. Shawn Michaels and Mr. Kennedy start off this huge match up and the fans are on their feet. Shawn is beating Kennedy like a government mule and showing just how much he is not ready for a retirement home yet! In comes Jeff Hardy to weaken Kennedy. Will the high flying moves of Jeff work for him tonight? Orton gets a near fall on Hardy using his sheer force of power on the rainbow haired warrior.
Hardy gets that much needed tag and Michaels is back in the ring cleaning house. Orton tried to cheap shot Michaels but Shawn was smarter than that. Orton gets a tag in and starts to take apart Michaels. Shawn is not going to take those punches lightly and he tries to power back, but Orton is always a stop ahead and Shawn can't get a let up. Kennedy back in and he's trying to disassembly Michaels. Shawn really needs to get the tag at this point, the fans are behind the Heartbreak Kid. He gets two back breakers from Mr. Kennedy and he goes for the pin, but Michaels kicks out of it. Orton is tagged back in, things are not looking good for Shawn at this point. Kennedy gets a blind tag to get back in and there is a quick double team on Michaels by both Orton and Kennedy for a moment. These two are tagging in and out quicker than I can type, ha ha. I hope Shawn can get to his corner eventually. Hardy riles up the fans behind Michaels to give him the strength to make that tag, it works and in come Hardy to face Mr. Kennedy. Hardy is relentless on Kennedy, but Orton interrupts the three count. I think this is where the free for all starts. Who the heck are the legal men in the match right now? Jeff Hardy gets the three count and wins it for his team. Hardy and Michaels are victorious! Never underestimate the power of teamwork!
