RAW(view) Live!!!!!!

Show opens with a backstage segment with guest host Roddy Piper backstage with Luis Guzman, after a minute they bring in the Iron Sheik and the Bella Twins. Few subtle joke made at Hulk Hogan's expense.... Ends with the live from New York its Monday night Raw.

New entrance video and theme song, oh joy, Nickelback. However the new video is cool.

RAW goes live into the arena with a smaller entrance ramp, they always do this at Madison Square Garden and it is a nice refresher from that big entrance. First match is The Miz v. MVP, nothing to complain about here, pre-match mic work by The Miz making fun of the Yankees and then MVP comes out wearing one.... AWESOME match, gotta love MSG shows cause they always bring their A-game. Good back and forth work end comes with MVP missing the Playmaker and Miz countering into the Skull Crushing Finale.

Chavo v. Santino is up after we come back from break. Straight comedy: Santio wearing first a Rangers jersey, then a Giants jersey, then a Knicks jersey, then a Jets jersey, then a Phillies jersey... got some laughs/heat, BIG pop for the Yankees jersey. Straight comedy match with Chavo getting upset at everything and then Hornswoggle distracting Chavo and Santino with the rollup victory.

DX promo, nothing new.... Triple threat match Sunday. Then Hornswoggle was called out, segment ends with Triple H giving him a Pedigree, seriously, the bosses son-in-law attacked a midget. He wonders why internet marks hate him.

Alicia Fox v. Melina for the Divas title (I hate that name) is guest ring announced by some comedian, he makes it a Lumberjill match. This was a throw away match just to get the ladies some TV time, Melina wins with a roll up.

Roddy Piper is out and seems genuinely happy to be here... Still making fun of Hogan which is always good. Segment goes on to conclude with Piper challenging Vince McMahon to a match, that will presumably not happen later tonight.

Sheamus comes out and issues an open challenge, and after no one comes out he attacks a ring worker then Jerry Lawler... He is replaced by Matt Striker for the rest of the show.

Evan Bourne v. Jack Swagger is in full swing when we come back from commercial, not a lot to say here. Survivor Series preview, match is a glorified squash match with Swagger destroying Bourne.

McMahon v. Piper never even gets started as we see Orton come interrupt the match.... WICKED BOTCH!!!! Kofi missed his cue and Orton visibly had to improv a move and then looked into the camera and shrugged with a very "what were you expecting" attitude. The two start brawling into the crowd, Orton gets the upper hand and begins to work over the leg of Kofi. Fight goes back into the ring and there is ALOT of back and forth, this is the best feud going in the WWE right now. Goes back into the crowd, referees try to break up the fight, segment ends with Kofi hitting the Boom Drop on Orton through a table.

Main event doesn't even get started til after 11:00pm.... Actually its 11:05pm and the Undertaker just started his entrance, I give this match 90 seconds before it breaks down into a brawl.....

Well I was wrong, but it was about a 10 minute spotfest... At least DX didn't win. Match ends with Cena pinning Triple H then Undertaker gave Cena a Tombstone just to remind him that it is everyman for them self. Three hour RAW next week hosted by Jesse Ventura. Til then.
