After last week's shockingly decent show, I had decently
high hopes going into this week's Monday
Night Raw. Unfortunately, that didn't exactly pan out for me, as Raw this week was approx.. 85% video
packages and 15% inexplicable pre-Elimination
Chamber booking.

Bad – Would Someone Just Embrace The Hate Already? |
Even given my qualms with the main event match, I was still
pretty pleased with how it ended: Jericho biting off Punk's in-ring pose, in
much the same way he has accused everyone in WWE of doing the same to him. But
of course, WWE couldn't leave well enough alone, and forced us all to go check
in backstage, where the absolute worst human being in the world was holding a
camera and watching a humongous man in a mask-wig threaten a hyperventilating
woman.
I understand that Eve probably deserves it, that John Cena
probably wasn't at the show (why we had to watch the absolutely riveting
week-old footage of Cena congratulating a NASCAR driver for the unnecessary
donuts he made inside a conspicuously cleared out part of an arena), and that
WWE has to do something to keep the Cena/Kane storyline alive. But oh how I
wish they had slotted this footage in earlier in the show - maybe in place of
one of the six-dozen video packages WWE aired over the course of the night.
