Hello, hello, hello!  I couldn't stand it anymore. I had to blog, blog, blog!  Wow! I think I had too much caffeine.  I just watched RAW again.  I watch it while it airs and then again  the next day so I can note all the things I want to say: just a little insight into the inner workings of my mind. RAW gets two thumbs up from me this week, because 1) I only have 2 thumbs, and 2) it was good! Duh!!!!

Seriously,

Chris Jericho - Ahh...  What can I say about him at this point?  He's a force of nature and no matter how many times you get aggravated with him, he still has a little energy left to aggravate you some more.  But, I love it.  He started the show discussing how he has to save his son from John Cena and how he disrespects us little folk.  That's cool.  That's cool.  But let me just say this.  He's got an issue with Cena being his son's hero and so he pulled the plug on his sons watching time.  But, he doesn't have a problem with his son watching his father beat the hell out of Cena?  The violence, he doesn't care about.  Interesting...hmmm.

Is Chris jealous of the now enraged, hell-bent champion?  Again, interesting...hmmm.

Side Note:  Lilian's boots were FABULOUS Monday night!

Rey Mysterio got a bit roughed up before his match with the Miz by Mike "Knox 'em all about", and Stephanie later came on and said he had some ligament damage in his elbow.  Great.  Look what you did, you big mook!!!!

Punk & Kingston vs. Rhodes & Manu - So, here's the thing.  I only wish I saw in CM Punk 5, 6 months ago what I see in him today.  I've always liked him but lately, I've been taking a slight more shining to the punk-a-licious, parade enjoying, unique wrestler.  This match was solid. (I said solid. I better go get JJ and go to the local Discotheque, in my bell bottoms and boogie on down! lol..)  Anyhoo, Randy was looking on from the locker room.  I noticed Cody left the blue trunks behind for the black...hmmm:> I liked it.  Manu ran wild on Kofi for a bit and Kofi responded in much the same manner. 

Cody is wrestling smarter, not faster. He's less impetuous and more focused.  Manu has the power and skills down, but lacks some of that focus by worrying about what's going on with the outside.  What one has the other lacks. That's why these two will go all the way. Of course, that's provided they stay friends.  If they could just trust each other's judgement in regard to letting the man in the ring worry about the opponent in the ring and let his partner on the outside worry about the outside intereferences.  They're definitely doing their homework and Randy is doing such a  great job with them.  They deserve credit too.  It's not all Randy. It IS a collabortive.  I'm so excited here I could spit!  Sorry, not very lady-like but what are you going to do, RKO me? Eventually, Kingston and Punk won the match. It was a great win too.  However, the prize that Manu & Rhodes will get is worth a whole lot more I tell ya.

Randy was coyishly waiting backstage for his proteges to whimper in.  Coy and clever is Randy.  He offered them an opportunity to collectively run amuck later on in the show.  It was their choice...

I'm so proud.  You know, the "You Can't See Me" motto should be Randy's.  If you think about it, RAW has no idea what's in store for the future (provided all the actors play their parts correctly).  All the stars are aligning though. Hee hee. I'm giddy with anticipation.  Okay, so I do have a bit of an mischieveous mind but if I can't write about it, what can I do with it?  Is Randy secretly raising an army?  yup yup. Nobody is the wiser?  nope nope.  (giddy) shhh..it's a secret.

Jericho tried to persuade Kane with lies in order to protect his assests, if you will. But luckily, Kane didn't fall for it.  Good boy!  

Jillian vs. Melina - Can I tell you all how happy I am that Melina is back! However, now she has a Glamazonian shadow following her.  Melina won her match. Woohoo! Santino getting hurt was icing on the cake.  Not the injury, btw, but how he got the injury.

Quote of the week: "The only good thing about Santino is that he's not a twin!" -Jerry "The King" Lawlor.

JBL vs. HBK - This was just disrtubing.  Will HBK end up working for JBL????  What??? I don't care how desperate I was, I'd never work for JBL.  Yes, he's loaded.  But can you imagine what THAT would be like if you were Shawn Michaels??? He lost his money.  Okay.  But, did he lose his mind and self-respect too?  I DOUBT IT!  Shawn?  I've quoted it before and I must quote it again, " The woods are lovely, dark and deep, but I have promises to keep, and miles to go before I sleep, and miles to go before I sleep." -Robert Frost 

Dolph Ziggler vs. Batista - Must he introduce himself 87 times?  I suppose so.  Poor bastard. I believe his first match was with Batista.  How's that for being born under a bad sign???  Maybe he has to introduce himself so many times because he's afraid he'll forget his name after the brain busting that happens directly after??  Or, perhaps he's afraid WE'LL forget his name after the brain busting that happens directly after?  In any event, welcome to the WWE buddy!

Randy Orton stepped out from behind to congratulate Batista on his win.  Batista, however, was already aware of Randy's motive and zinged him with a match at Armegeddon.  This is going to be great. ah ah ahhhhhhh.  I'm so excited. 

Jericho caught up with Randy backstage. (Damn. I've got to get backstage one of these days. That's where all the good dirt goes down!) Jericho tried to persuade Randy into picking a side well, his side, to attack Cena later on in the night.  Randy is smart enough to know that life finds a way.  You can prepare all you want but eventually, something will come out of nowhere and you must roll with the punches.  Fight or flight, baby!

Okay.  Onto Finley vs John Morrison:  I am SOOOOOO appreciative of this match. I'm thinking it was a small Christmas gift to me from the WWE. At least, that's what I'd like to believe. So, leave me alone.  Loved Morrison's glasses btw.  The man needs a hair commercial too, people.  Such great locks!  Anyway, I fell off my bed when John won!  I was so ecstatic.  FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!  My ideal Intercontinental Championship match would be John Morrison vs Rey Mysterio.  I know. I'm getting ahead of myself here but I can't help it.  You go, John!!!!  If you use your imagination, do you even KNOW how great that match could be?????  I love Mysterio but I've been waiting for Morrison to reach his true potential and just...thank you ,thank you for the present of the year! 

So...Superstar of the year: Edge, Batista, Jeff Hardy, Chris Jericho and John Cena. Okay, so now I have to say, Why isn't Randy's name up there???? Whatever. Hopefully, my girl Stephanie McMahon will continue to allow Randy more opportunities. My picks would be Jeff Hardy or ,dare I say, Edge.  Truth be told, I would LOVE to just blog on my reasons for all of them to win the award but, frankly, there's just no time for that.  So, to make a long story short.  Jeff Hardy would be my ultimate choice.  Edge has been great this year. Not good great, of course. He's done some pretty horrifying things. But did he not entertain us to exhaustion??? C'mon guys. He went above and beyond the call of duty this year.  However, speaking of above and beyond..that is why I feel Jeff should win.  No one can do what he does, like he does.  Yes, he can be unpredictable. Yes, he can be, nuts. Yes, he can be off the wall extreme.  But isn't that what makes him great???  I have a million reasons why he should win. I say, Jeff.  But that's just me.

The Miz vs. Rey Mysterio - Rey looked like a one armed, flying purple people eater out there.  He never gives up though.  He wants the IC title.   The Miz can be really powerful at times.  If only he could sustain that power through the whole match.  He loves what he does. You can't argue with that but Rey's desire got the win. Randy? Do you have room for just one more?  The Miz?

Kane vs. John Cena - Cena still get smixed reactions when he comes out and he loves it!  He looks great, in my opinion.  However, looks can be deceiving.  Is he really okay?  Physically, yes, okay perhaps.  But mentally.  Wow!  I'm not so convinced.  The match was great, until Jericho ran to the ring creating the distraction he had planned earlier. (Hey, at least he didn't lie about it).  The inner enraged beast started to come out again.  His eyes even change; not the color, but something behind his eyes.  It's a bit too real for my liking.  Everything just got chaotic when Cody and Manu came out and started whaling on Cena.  Then, the big guy, himself, Randy was there to attack him also.  Did all this just make the beast even worse?  Did the flame just get more intense?  Yup. Uh oh...  I hate this part...the aftermath. But I have to say this; down the rabbit hole, anyone? I've already got MY ticket. 

This week's Focus Favorite:  John Morrison 

So, what would you do down the rabbit hole?

I'd start a revolution if only my cell phone, pda, computer, and ipod would all tell the same time!

Watch SmackDown and braid something.  It's fun.
