Raw Thoughts and Giant Monsters
Raw was interesting tonight. What started out as a bust that seemed chiefly interested in breaking up tag teams and moving around insignificant wrestlers changed when John Cena came out, cut a promo, and then picked a ball for Paul Heyman. The ball contained the one name I didn't expect to hear anyone say tonight.
HHH is going to Smackdown.
This makes some things very interesting, and seems kind of odd, given the nature of recent internet reports about him not wanting to work with Benoit, and lobbying for Edge to come to Raw(which is happening, as he was one of Bischoff's picks. He later came out, speared Bischoff, and appears to have been receiving packages from Balco during his off time.) RVD also got switched, though this had been anticipated, and even foreshadowed by the fact that he and Booker dropped the tag straps to Flair and DAVE tonight. The show ended with Eddy vs HHH for the Big Gold Belt, a match that ended in the greatest slugfest ever shown on TV. Both locker rooms were surrounding the ring, battling it out with each other. There must have been 75 guys brawling at ringside. The match was a DQ win for Eddy, thanks to run-ins by Evolution, Christian, and HBK(who cut a very cocky heel promo tonight, and who will face Benoit at Backlash.)
Quickies:
Nidia was drafted to Raw, which means she might actually get a chance to wrestle. Most people forget that she was a Tough Enough winner, and actually has some skills.
Heyman "quit" after being drafted to Raw and objecting to being Bischoff's bitch. I figure this is the jumping off point for the rumored revival of ECW, which will be cool if done right. This also leaves the door wide open for Vince to bring back Stephanie, which is not cool.
La Resistance is broken up, as is Benjamin/Haas, which means not much probably, but at least some potential singles pushes for Benjamin and Rene Dupree.
Surprisingly, very little Vince tonight. I figured he'd be more involved in the shenanigans and goings-on.
On giant monsters, apparently, Toho is filming some sequences of the "last" Godzilla movie in Australia, with Sydney standing in for the Big Apple. Toho claims this is the final movie, and given the last few movies' performance, it'd be hard to disagree. The guy who directed Versus and Azami is directing it, which should be interesting. Imagine Quentin Tarantino directing a G-film, and you're not far off.
Off to bed. More thoughts on the lottery tomorrow, after the rumor mill starts.
