Coach & the King as your commentary team? The Animated Cadaver, Jeff Hardy, nearly beating Y2J in the (wrestling) Main Event? The return of Vince's bare behind to RAW? STONE COLD VS. BISCHOFF AT NO WAY OUT?
At least they remembered Curt.

Bet'cha can't guess who jobs there? (hint: the guy who will do all the work in the match)

I don't know, I thought it was an okay show, but it was certainly overshadowed by Hennig's passing.
About the only stand-out thing I found myself wondering about was...The Holly's are from Forest Lake, Minnesota?!?
I'm also wondering what the crowd was getting into during the Jericho/Hardy match. There definetely seemed to be something going on elsewhere in the arena.

I was very happy to see Booker (and/or the writers) show he actually cares about Goldust and getting revenge and they furthered that little story nicely. A guy can dream this might all lead to one heck of a Wrestlemania sub-main event.
I was fascinated at the Hardy/Jericho match. A fascinating study of rapid deterioration of the human body. About two-thirds into the match I was surprised Jeff still had the energy to climb the turnbuckles!
Also, I was amused at the antics of Mr. McMahon (except for the bare ass thing). The man is a great actor!
Eh, I thought Raw was okay tonight. Nothing special.
Hey, it looks like Rob Van Dam is without a match for the PPV again! That makes me fucking pissed. Oh well. At least they're giving Booker T a main-event push.
Of course, RVD and Kane getting a pop 100 times bigger than both Triple H and Steiner was funny.
You thought watching Thunder was bad? Raw is like watching Thunder in re-runs.
Okay. Bischoff trying to save his butt by offering Vince Hot Lesbian Action was demented enough to be funny. Other than that, what a colossal waste of time.
Aserje ja de je de jebe tude jebere sebiunouba majabi an de bugui an de buididipi!
As much as they suck as gimmicks on their own, both Bischoff bringing out the lesbians and Vince bringing out the ass is at least a sign of character consistency, so points to the writers for that. (and points to me for averting my eyes when Vince lowered his drawers...)
I kinda thought JR would make a cool GM. And although Coach palled around with King too much, I didn't think he was all that bad.
Not that I was paying 100% attention, but they didn't mention Shane as a possible GM, did they? I suppose we're all supposed to forget he was in the limo with Vince a few weeks back.

Every time the camera focused on Jeff Hardy, face down on the mat, staring with dead eyes and dragging out breaths, I kept thinking to myself - "This guy's trying to be Curt Hennig's new roommate". Every week, the difference between the real Jeff Hardy and his T-shirt becomes more pronounced. He definitely needs a vacation, before it's a permanent vacation.

No. The Hollys were all (once upon a time) announced from Mobile, Alabama. Then Crash moved to North Carolina, and now Molly's moved to Minnesota. I bet Hardcore still lives in Alabama, though.
The wrestling wasn't too bad, but the "main event" was junk. I don't need another ass-worshiping scene. And they lost my attention after Bischoff brought out the "lesbians".
Stuff, stuff.

Do you know where your Chainmail, +1 vs. Cruiserweights is?
I didn't think RAW was too bad, just seemed like more of follow the numbers.
Bischoff was great on the mic, he put over his character's desperation very well. The firing of JR... uhm... eh, we all knew it wouldn't last.
I can't even really remember what the opener was... oh, Test and Christian... a decent little match... I think that the only good thing to come out of the match was Christian's counter from the Roll of the Dice to the Unprettier. Well, that and Christian's Steve-o trunks.
Jazz and Molly was pretty good, and well, the crowd wasn't as dead as they were last week for Vicki and Molly. Decent little match up, and I liked that chicken wing variation of the STF... Didn't really build up anything, though.
HLA made its comeback, and well, at least the ladies were a little less of an eye sore. I'm glad that they didn't do too much with it. I really thought that there was going to be a nice little surprise right before Vince said "You're Fired"... oh wells, just hoping a little too much.
Wooo... Poor Tommy Dreamer, squashed once again.
Looks like the D-Lo push might be over. It was pretty much a squash by the Book... as well it should've been. When HHH & his Superfriends came out for the beat down, I thought Steiner was going to come out for the save... and well, I watched the best of Confidential and remembered the heated rivalry they had in WCW.... bah... how can they do that? Oh yea, Randy Orton ripped the fiznuck out of his pants... Poor guy, they were nice pants.
I actually liked the Kane/RVD vs 3MW tonight. It was short and sweet and it actually made 3MW look decent in the ring.
Dudleys and Val Venis was a fun match, and Val sold like a KING! I'm glad that he's still going to be around. I loved how he tried to get a few last punches in on Bubba before going through the table.
Jeff Hardy actually looked alive tonight? What happened? Seriously... well, we all know that it was Jericho that dragged a good match out of him... I mean, he brought Steiner to a decent match last week. Great match... probably the match of the night.. but then again, thats not really saying too much.
Bisch is back.. and thank the lord, we didn't have to see too much of Vince's arse. Seriously... we really didn't need that. When Vince mentioned the "Kick My Ass" Club.. I thought that he was going to bring up Bischoff's challenge from Nitro and sign a match between them. It wouldn't have been that great, but it would've been somewhat entertaining, at least. Bisch and Austin... oh wells, he'll just bitch slap him around with the Fed Ex letter or something.
Anyhows... RAW was just by the numbers, but it held my attention all night.
-Women's division is still featuring the most intriguing storyline in the brand.
-Vince's bare ass shown on TV (again)
Why exactly did I bother watching tonight? I thought something.... you know.... special was supposed to happen. Oh and where was my cussing Goldust???

Once again, the best thing on Raw was the women's match. I was marking the whole time. Plus, Molly is so much fun to watch and very nice to look at. I was salivating at her cleavage when she was locked in the STF.
Man I hate being single...
Are you ready for Mahkan-mania to run wild all over you?
I think RAW stunk tonight. The women's match was good, but Jericho-Hardy was very, very boring. They need to pull the trigger on a Booker-HHH feud, though. That's the only thing from RAW that would be interesting at Wrestlemania besides Jericho-HBK.
Forgot to mention, if Jeff Hardy doesn't keep that damned gum out of his mouth I'm going to personally hunt him down and snap his neck. Can the man go anywhere without it?! Maybe if he lost the gum he'd win some matches every 5 or 6 years.
Hey, there. Yes, I STILL have a job, lol. But, I did get a day off yesterday, and I did see Raw. I'm a hard woman to please, especially these days, and I must say that Raw was pretty meh, it was telegraphed for God's sake!
