Monday Night Raw 6/9 - Mo Money, Mo Problems

Last night's Monday Night Raw was pretty fun but I am easily amused... I was so quick to roll my eyes at the blatant publicity grubbin' move of McMahon's $$$ giveaway (genius idea actually), yet I was out there registering for the money as quick as the next gal (or guy). Was a tad awkward to watch Vince try to use a phone. (Am I the only one who spent a moment or two deciding what I would say if I won?) Didn't win though. [sigh] I just hope they streamline the giveaway for next week so it doesn't stop the flow of the show again.

There are amazingly detailed blogs that cover the news (such as Nick's) and minute details of the matches and who won, so I won't regale you with my thoughts on those important things... I'll focus instead on the inane details that us gals (ok, and probably some guys too) notice and wonder about. Ready? OK!

  • Last week on Monday Night Raw, I was thrilled to see John Cena in black denim shorts. If the man is going to cover up those well-toned legs, at least he could wear stylish coverings. The black denim shorts were a huge improvement over the tired-80s-acid washed-I don't care if they are coming back-style of the ones he has been wearing and that made an appearance again last night. (Guys of the WWE-sphere, hear me! Acid wash is not in style!) I know John has a penchant for wearing free clothes, so Avirex... hello! Please send more free black denim shorts to John Cena! Please!
  • Ok, Snitsky. Someone please tell me those are not his real teeth. If they are real, then someone please intervene! Bad teeth were almost acceptable on Austin Powers, but on Snitsky I just can't take it. Shouldn't he be doing public service announcements to kids on the need for dental hygiene? Maybe they are angling for advertisements from Crest Whitestrips?
  • Mr. Kennedy... Kennedy... why didn't he get to do his usual screamin' into the mic? Or did I miss it while I was constantly checking to make sure my cellphone had plenty of juice in case I got "the" call. And his intense interaction with Katie Lea after she slapped him... should he have slapped her or kissed her? His lips look a little baked sometimes, so maybe he hesitated cuz he didn't have his chapstick handy. Kennedy, use chapstick before you go to bed each night sweetie and those crackalackin' lips will heal right up. At least you have nice lips... poor Paul Burchill always has his face all squished up in rage and doesn't even look like he has lips.
  • It was a bit of a guilty pleasure to see Chris Jericho smash HBK's face into the Jeritron. Those two have both been walking the heel/face line with each other, so it was fun to see some movement on that storyline.
  • And... enough with Jillian's singing already! It is painful!
Oh, and I agree with Nick that the line of the night was from Lawler, "Snitsky has a face only a fist could love." Sorry, Snit! It's just funny.
