Raw thoughts...

What a weird, random show. Now, I didn't see the PPV, and I didn't hear anything good about it, but Raw seemed almost like a reset. The highlight of the show had to be Randy Orton dumping HHH into a giant cake that Orton had leapt out of to attack Evolution. The segment ended with Orton walking up the ramp, leaving HHH's legs sticking out of the cake. Funny stuff.

Vince actually showed up tonight, but his appearance was kind of suspect. He said that on next week's "Season Premiere"* of Raw, he would have an announcement that would be "earthshattering" to Bischoff, the locker room, and all of us. My gut says that the Tuesday PPV is his announcement, but it will be interesting to see if it's something else.

In the ridiculous Kane/Lita angle, they seem to have maybe decided to, if you'll pardon the expression, abort the storyline. As Kane was destroying some poor jobber, Lita got into the ring to prevent him from using a chair to Pillmanize the jobber. As they argued, the jobber hit Kane with the chair, and of course he plowed Lita over and landed on top of her. They did the now unfortunately cliched "load wrestler onto stretcher while JR and King speak in hushed tones" bit, and then went to commercial. One would expect that next week, they'll announce that Lita had a miscarriage, thereby ending this stupid fucking storyline, and in the process, stopping the flow of people coming to my website to see whether Lita is really pregnant. (Really, I'm not kidding. I get four or five hits a day from search engines with the search result "Is Lita really pregnant/married to Kane?" Between that and people thinking I've got torrents, that makes up about half of my traffic.)

The show ended with Orton getting triple-teamed by Evolution before Shelton Benjamin(returning from injury) and Benoit came out to save him. Overall, it was a decent show.

More tomorrow, if I get to it.

* and how exactly does a show that runs 52 weeks a year with no reruns or hiatus time have a "season premiere" anyway?
