WWE RAW: 10.06.08

~RAW…IS…JERICHO~
Chris Jericho makes his way to the ring, sporting his super serial suit and a busted mouth from last night’s ladder match. The crowd hates him, and he doesn’t care because Mike Adamle is at a meeting with Shane and Stephanie, and he will be taking Adamle’s place tonight. He has all of the decision making power to run the show. Speaking of the best, that brings us to HIM and his ladder match last night. The man the revolutionized the ladder match lost to him. But HBK did live up to a promise, he permanently disfigured him. He has to live with this for the rest of his life, every time he smiles, walks past a mirror, he will think of Shawn Michaels. But he’ll smile because he beat Shawn Michaels. Not just beat, brutalized, embarrassed and won a match Shawn supposedly couldn’t lose. There will be no revenge for Shawn, because Jericho is done with him. Shawn will face Lance Cade in an anything goes, NO DQ match tonight. Jericho has nothing left to prove to anyone, and we must acknowledge that he is the true champion and the most dominant performer in this business, in the world today.

And here comes out #1 Contender, Batista! Batista says to pick the number. You know, pick the number of days until we have our match. 7-days, 14-days…2-day? Jericho says even though he had a brutal match, he would fine a way to beat him. Jericho says he is an animal and will do whatever he has too to survive. And he will make sure the name Batista is synonymous with failure. He then tells Batista to get out of his face and out of his ring right now. Batista laughs and says Jericho will defend the title against him. SPINEBUSTER. “You mess with the bull, and you get the horns.”

-Back from commercial and we see Batista laying out Jericho. During the break Jericho say she is making Batista defend his #1 contendership vs. JBL. The special referee will be Jericho himself.

-Regal and Layla chill at ringside.

-Santino on the mic, and he says people think he isn’t American enough. So recently, he has made an effort to be more American. He has a new favorite NBA Team. He has the Oklahoma Thunder shirt on. Seattle wants to kill him now. He then says the THUNDER will rain down on Noble and James.

Jamie Noble and Mickie James vs. Beth Phoenix and Santino Marella

Beth and Mickie to begin. Go behind by Beth, elbows by Mickie and then gets a Thesz press. Santino tags in, Noble in as well and Noble with a side headlock and rights to Santino Head butts follow, off the ropes, back elbow and then a northern lights suplex into the arm bar, Beth breaks it up and Noble gets a roll up for 2. Back elbow by Noble, Beth distracts him and Santino gets the roll up for the win.

Winners: Beth Phoenix and Santino Marella @ 2:00 via pin

-Beth and Santino celebrate, Noble chase him and now he and Regal brawl! The ref breaks it up and Mickie comes to calm down Noble.

-Todd is with HBK. Todd asks his thoughts on the match tonight, and HBK asks if he should beg not to compete because he hurts from head to toe? Well you should ask Jericho if he will defend the title tonight? He won’t because he wants Cade to do his dirty work and finish off HBK for good. He is bordering on insanity and pumped up on adrenaline, he will show everyone that he still has plenty of gas in the tank.

-CM Punk comes to the ring to try and even up the odds a bit.

Kofi Kingston vs. Ted DiBiase w/Cody Rhodes and Manu

Lock up to begin, off the ropes and a shoulder block by DiBiase. After some counters Kofi gets a pair of dropkicks, but DiBiase turns the tide and slams him down.

Another dropkick, misses the corner charge but gets a kick to DiBiase. Up top and a HUGE cross body by Kofi. Leg sweep, BO BO BO leg drop stopped as Rhodes distracts him, and Punk takes Rhodes out.

NO DQ MATCH: HBK vs. Lance Cade

Lance Cade’s music sucks, I’m just sayin. They throw rights to begin, a clothesline by Cade and then tosses HBK to the floor. Cade grabs a table, drops HBK face first off of the announce table and then lays the boots to him while yelling, “I HATE YOU!” Cade sets up the table on the floor, rights to HBK and then gets the spinebuster on HBK through the table! Cade picks up HBK, rolls him back into the ring and now Cade grabs a chair. Cade back into the ring, has the chair but HBK with the Thesz press on Cade and beats his ass! HBK has the chair, and he waffles him! HBK then delivers something like 14-chair shots to Cade while he is down and pins him. Thanks for coming Lance.

Winner: HBK @ 3:00 via pin

-HBK stares down Cade, grabs the chair and lays in another 7 or 8 chair shots, just because he can. And the crowd chants for HBK, likely out of fear of having their asses beat by a steel chair.

-Cole hypes the debut of Smackdown on MyNetworkTV. HHH will defend the WWE Title on Smackdown this Friday against the Big Show.

Runjin says that Khali was interviewed by Knoxville, we see clips and Knoxville asks about Khali’s dick size as compared to other big men. Khali says he came here for an interview and that was too personal a question. OFFENDED! Khali invites Knoxville to Raw next week, to show what real entertainment is. Khali then hosts the Kiss Cam segment, seriously, and it is fantastic. The camera turns to Lillian and Khali, being the PIMP he is lays a huge one on her! I LOVE DOUBLE, DOUBLE E~!

Kelly Kelly vs. Jillian Hall

Kelly needs to drop the bandana, it makes her look like Ashley. Kelly gets a RANA early for 2. Kelly does a very slow lucha arm drag, off the ropes and to the apron she goes and then gets knocked to the floor by Hall. Hall rolls her back in, pulls at the hair of Kelly and then steps on her face. Hair mare by Hall, and then she chokes her out. Side back breaker by Hall, bends Kelly over her knee but Kelly with knees to escape. To the corner, forearms by Kelly but Hall whips her to the corner, gets a shoulder block and then forearm strikes.

Winner: Kelly Kelly @ 3:00 via pin

-Miz, Morrison and Cryme Tyme would not shut the fuck up during the match at all, and I can imagine Vince having an aneurysm as he screamed through the head set to Cole and Lawler to try and gain some form of control.

-We get footage of Cena showing up at Smackdown after his neck surgery. Respect.

-Chris Jericho makes his way to the ring.

-JBL comes out, and Jericho makes Lillian announce the special guest timekeeper, William Regal. And then she announces the special guest commentators, Randy Orton and his tattoos. It’s like Vince and the Stooges vs. Austin all over again.
