With a half functioning TiVo remote.

Like, what, 10 people must’ve watched this show with the LCS games going on? This is not how the WWE planned it.

Thanks for coming, Regal.

Votes!

Edge over HBK and Benoit. How dare HBK superkick Todd Grisham. He’s going to get quite the lecture from Heat GM Steven Richards.

Jerry Lawler knows the name of a move! And another! Victoria must be winning the battle royal. I have no real opinion in this vote.

Oh yes, Snitsky and Lita. “I came here tonight to look you in the eye!” She should’ve brought a step ladder. What punches. ooooooo

Haha Flair is old.

I spent the opening of the tag match illegally voting for Steven Richards at least 10 times. Forcing you to type the number was a smart move; not getting an e-mail address out of each vote is dumb.

Wow, they won’t shut up about Kimmel making incredibly obvious jokes. If JR weren’t taking personal offense (odd – BECAUSE FLAIR IS OLD), I’d think he trespassed in Hogan Is Bald sacred ground.

Did they set the polls to open right during a rest hold? No, not quite. Wow, they’d really prefer you not vote for a Submission match, but a duh.

Vince out to be you to vote and watch. I bet people do a lot more of one than the other. I love how both announcers agree Vince would do well in a presidental campaign. Did he have a vision or did Jericho have a vision? QUITE FRANKLY. CHRISTIAN! Yes. Perfect guy for this. Cockles! The Christian Coalition! Vince is afraid because that sounds like a group that’d come after SmackDown!. YES TAJIRI TO INTERUPT! Tajiri’s fake English is sounding different this week. EVERYONE HUG VINCE. This is a pretty fun segment. Even Christian doesn’t want to see Coach. King thinks all bald black men look alike. Tajiri/Coach continuity! What an odd pick. QUITE FRANKLY. Coach and Christian being scared of Rhyno is nice. Haha GORE. QUITE FRANKLY. You don’t talk to Christian this way. QUITE FRANKLY. No one’s scared of the Hurricane. Last time Vince ever tries to talk on RAW. Hurricane’s rhyme is better than Christian’s, and at least Shelton doesn’t waste time interrupting.

Vince on commentary, wow. I wonder if he knows Victoria’s moves. Vince has very little to say – I think JR and King were leaving him opening he wasn’t filling. Vince picks French Maid – Linda is worried. I am worried about me and JR making the same joke. Christian did not look in good shape in the segment where we all noticed his cut, but he pulled it together. They’re sure giving Shelton a lot of stuff for a guy they don’t really talk about as a future top guy. Maybe I’m just missing that talk.

Todd dies, Coach dies, and Lillian is in charge. What a sad state of affairs. Competitive aerobics! I think Carmella pauses a lot. “all…of…you.” Haha miss the bus and be forced to make out on TV. We’ve all learned something today. Something gay. WOW THEIR LIPS BARELY TOUCHED! Christy needs to learn how to sell.

YES YES THE GRAPHIC WITH EVERYONE IN IT! Chuck Palumbo is dead center with the wrong hair color and I bet half the people watching RAW have no idea who he is. Unless Jimmy Kimmel is appearing on RAW or Taboo Tuesday, they need to let it go.

JR needs to be only brought out for main events of PPVs. HHH could care less about Edge. I know it’s Triple H’s character to hate on everyone, but an odd way to sell the PPV by giving everyone no chance. Shawn hurt himself off the top rope sunset flip, I guess (really innocent looking bump, but that’s where it went bad), and he’s really dumb to try that elbow drop after knowing he was hurt. He may not be in any shape for tomorrow, and he probably owed it to the company to skip the highspot rather than risking further injury, but he’s not getting the main event bonus by protecting himself. That superkick was helped by only seeing half of it, not the pretty view they usually do. Edge is going to be fun as a heel if he keeps this up. Wow, HBK can’t even get up for the dramatic vote lead in. Felt like they extended the ending a little bit – to get the Sox/Yankees crossover?

Okay episode. Six man elimination was the strongest part.
