Blitzkrieg

-To start off RAW McMahon comes out and it was said that he'd be announcing a new GM. Well, he did...kinda. Actually, he announced a new asisstant (ass kisser) in Jonathan Coachman. Bullshit. I already don't like Coach is the new role, he'd be so much better as a manager. Oh well.

-Shelton Benjamin defends the Intercontinental Title against Kane and something very strange happens.. the mask appears again on the screen and out comes a guy dressed as the "old school" Kane decked with the mask and all. The guy gets in the ring, chokeslams the real Kane, sets off the fire, and that's that. No contest is the result but I'm just wondering WTF? I think Kane will have his mask back soon enough and I can't wait because I'm sick of this storyline.

-Beth Phoenix makes her debut in a diva tag match where it's her and Torrie against Candy and Vicky. Match wasn't great but Beth looks like a decent enough wrestler. Still looks like a man though.

-Paul Heyman and Mick Foley face off in another decent promo, Mick explains how Paul is just pissed because Mick made it in the big time unlike all those other 2nd rate ECW wrestlers and Paul explains that Mick is just a sellout whore. I liked it. Then Paul said he has tow draft picks for the ECW brand.. One of them is the obvious RVD from RAW.. but OH Shit!! on the 2nd pick. KURT FUCKING ANGLE from SD!.. wow, who cares about SD! anymore? I sure don't.. but this is a great addition for the ECW brand. It gives them a bigtime main eventer right away and lets remember ECW wasn't just about hardcore wrestling like people sometimes want to believe. Kurt comes out and beat Mick's ass and his mouthguard this week reads "violence".. Fitting.

-John Cena is out to face someone who he's never faced.. I didn't know who it could be but it ends up being Nitro w/Melina.. Awesome! They have a new updated entrance and I'm loving it. I love Melina on RAW and Nitro has a ton of potential. Of course, Cena wins the match but oh well, Nitro will be fine I'm sure. He's got IC champ written all over him already.

-Big Show and Edge face eachother for the #1 contender spot on the RAW brand Vengeance PPV. Edge wins after a cheat involving Lita.. What else is new? But oh well, Show had no real business in the match. Nice to see Edge back in the main event picture again. Dude is money.

To end the show we have HHH against Kenny with the rest of the Spirit Squad as lumberjacks.. Pre-match Vince makes sure HHH doesn't have his sledgehammer.. so I thought for sure we'd get an HBK run in even though Vince said he's injured and out indefinitely from last week's attack but we didn't get one. Instead HHH found a way to win the match and afterwards he was getting his ass kicked by all SS members but then he pulled out another hammer he had stashed at ringside and shit hit the fan for the SS.. No real D-X teasing, I'm wondering if it's off for now due to the HBK injury...

All in all it was an entertaining show throughout..

I give this week's RAW a...:up: :up: :up: 1/2 out of :up: :up: :up: :up: :up:
