Questions Stemming From the 6/28 Edition of RAW

The second week of build towards the Money In The Bank pay-per-view begins with Monday Night RAW, where the World Champion is a pale redhead with huge spiky hair and the General Manager is too busy to make any more of an effort than e-mail. 

The following are the questions I have stemming from the event.

Think of this as part-feedback, part-humor.

Headlines world wide have been generated due to the NXT "Nexus" attack on Vince McMahon?  I guess Bleacher Report IS world wide.  So...thanks Michael Cole.

NXT Nexus beats up Vince McMahon (who has been hated almost his entire time on camera since early 1997) and their acts disgust Sheamus (who's getting good heel heat)...so are we supposed to LIKE Nexus? 

(Bad booking decisions.)

If John Cena's t-shirts are tacky because they're orange, does Sheamus wish he were bald?

(Celtic Albino Warrior?  They could chant "CAW!" at him.)

How awesome would it be if Nexus decided their next target would be Don Rickles?  He's only 84, and since the GM is anonymous, what are the odds that Rickles is the GM?

What puts Sheamus' hair over the top for John Cena as the worst haircut he's seen since Kid & Play?  Is it the beard?  Darren Young doesn't have the beard...

Do any more than five percent of the WWE Universe even know who Kid & Play are?  C'mon, Cena, get better references.

How many emails is [e-mail] getting right now?

Why did John Cena feel the need to take off his shirt when his pay-per-view match stipulations were announced? 

If that's the effect it has, why can't there be more match stipulation announcements targeted at Women's Title matches?

100 million videos have already been watched on YouTube.com/WWE...how many million pirated/illegal WWE-related videos have been watched on similar online video sites that WWE has forced to be removed?  I've heard it's a great way to watch pay-per-views the day after.

Did anyone tell R.Truth where the camera was?  He was looking over Josh Matthews' shoulder the whole time.

When R.Truth called himself the Zoo Keeper, did anyone else get a mental image of how awesome it could be to see Tracey Morgan cameo on RAW in character as Brian Fellows?

Was my Brian Fellows reference any better than the Kid & Play reference by John Cena?

Hey Gilette folks, if you're trying to convince people that their old razors are inadequate and they should throw them away, is it really a good idea to startle them while they're shaving? 

(Some accidents can be prevented.)

How many views would Vladimir Kozlov dance training videos get on YouTube?

Why didn't Josh Matthews introduce Great Khali's translator as his guest?  The translator speaks way more than Khali does.

How bad is Khali going to kick his translator's ass when he finds out what the guy said about him?

Is it plausible that the translator could be the mastermind behind NXT?

In response to the last question: "I don't think so and I hope not," but how many people will mention that in Bleacher Report articles on Tuesday?

Didn't WWE do away with the Guest Host concept?  Rob Zombie and his Hellbilly Deluxe II album doesn't really fit in with the "TV-PG" concept...How many times did he say "sick and twisted things?"

Is John Cena going to give special consideration to Rob Zombie's hair?

If Rob Zombie is the only one who knows the eight competitors for Money In The Bank, how does the production crew know what images to put on the screen?

Doesn't Edge realize that a large portion of the WWE Universe were still in diapers when he won the first ever Money In The Bank ladder match?  No wonder they don't remember it.

Wow, how much better was Edge when he was with Lita?

How disappointing is it that Lita isn't around now that the women of WWE have TWO championship divisions instead of just one "joke" division?

(Edge referencing a Viper gives me a throw-back to Jake "The Snake" Roberts.  Ah...nostalgia.)

How often does Mark Henry have to prove himself to be allowed to keep the nickname World's Strongest Man?

Did anyone else notice that if Mark Henry were ever held upside down, the initials on his back would still look like they could refer to World's Strongest Man?

Shouldn't the World's Strongest Man be able to pry Sheamus' arm from around his neck, instead of having to just shove him into the corner?  If he can't, shouldn't he change is workout routine so he tailors his strength in a way that helps him stop people from choking him?  I'd think that'd be a good skill to want to have.

How out of place does Heath Slater look as a heel?

What makes tonight's main event four-on-four a "MEGA" match?  Isn't it actually a lot smaller than any of the typical Survivor Series matches, since tonight's main event is going to end after one fall?  You need at least four to end one of those matches.

When Lawler said there were a few guys backstage who wanted to honor Ricky Steamboat's career, how many people thought it was going to be NXT Nexus?

How few people watching this show know who Arn Anderson, Michael "P.S." Hayes, Mike Rotundo, and Dean Malenko are?

(No need to give me comments to explain who they are; I'm a fan of all of those guys.)

How long ago should Michael Hayes have no longer been referred to as "P.S."?

How many people actually know what the "P.S." stand for?

How many people remember Dok Hendrix?

How much better on the mic was Dean Malenko now than he was back when he was active?

How awesome would it be to see an Arn Anderson Spinebuster on one of the Nexus guys?  Maybe a Lawler piledriver?

Is this not the greatest NXT segment since their initial destruction of RAW a couple weeks ago?

Where was Wade Barrett during the NXT attack on the legends?

Couldn't at least one member of the roster have tried to come to the aid of the legends, risking suspension but getting some love from the fans in the process?  They could've avoided suspension if the NXT Nexus guys would've beaten them to the punch.
