~The show starts with “The Highlight Reel”, Chris Jericho’s talk show. Big Show is the guest and they start the segment by looking at highlights from last week when Show threw Floyd Mayweather out of the ring. They both have a little laugh about it but the friendly atmosphere changes when Show compares Jericho to Mayweather and says that he can beat both of them. Eventually, Show challenges Jericho for the Intercontinental Title, a belt that Jericho won from Jeff Hardy last week, later in the show. Jericho accepts.

-WWE Chairman (Owner) Vince McMahon announces that he’s going to face Ric Flair in a street fight. If Flair loses, he’ll be forced to retire.

-CM Punk beats Carlito. I can’t wait for the Money in the Bank Ladder match at Wrestlemania.

-Umaga takes a page out of Big Show’s book and beats Paul London & Brian Kendrick in a 2-on-1 handicap match, well actually, Kendrick left the match near the end and let his partner take the fall.

-Ric Flair runs into Shawn Michaels backstage and gets all hyped up, saying that he’s gonna win his match against Vince McMahon, that he once again doesn’t want any pity from Michaels and that he doesn’t even want to see HBK until their match at Wrestlemania.

-JBL squashes Colin Delaney, how random. Where’s Tommy Dreamer when you need him?

-Before we move on to the Flair/McMahon match, here’s a flashback to 4 months ago to explain why if Flair loses he’ll have to retire.

-Ric Flair nearly kills himself to beat Vince McMahon in a street fight.

After the match, Santino throws soda at Raw Color Commentator, Jerry Lawler. I just added this in because I found it pretty funny.

Chris Jericho gets himself disqualified in his match against the Big Show and keeps his title. Show lays Jericho out with a right hand after the match anyway.

-The 17-on-2 match of John Cena & WWE Champion, Randy Orton versus the whole (it was actually the majority) of the Raw roster ends in a no contest when after Cena and Orton eliminate a bunch of them one by one, the remaining wrestlers jump the two guys and lay them out. Triple H, who made the match due to him being the night’s special General Manager, comes out and continues beating on Cena and Orton to end the show.

There was a segment involving Santino Marella and Snoop Dogg, who will be the “Master of Ceremonies” (whatever that means) in the “bunnymania” match (whatever that is) at Wrestlemania. That was pretty funny.


I really hope they do something with Kendrick bailing on London, I know those two have the potential to have some crazy matches against each other.



There is so much emphasis on Triple H’s road to the WWE Title match at Wrestlemania 24, I kind of have a feeling he’s gonna win the belt.


But…There is also emphasis on John Cena, so maybe he’ll win.


But…There is also emphasis on Randy Orton. Honestly, I haven’t made up my mind on who I think is gonna win yet.


Only in pro wrestling can you hit your boss, and vice versa, repeatedly and have it be considered all apart of a day's work. I thought that Flair/McMahon match was gonna be pure garbage, and although it wasn't anything spectacular, I did enjoy it a lot more than I thought I would.



This next clip has everything, Subway, beautiful women and more of Santino acting a fool.
