One thing made tonights RAW memorable.
Tonight, the WWE made Kofi Kingston. Him standing on that railing with everyone in Madison Square Garden cheering behind him and chanting his name was just amazing. Tonight was Austin stunning Vince. Tonight was Rocky Maivia becomming The Rock. Cena's entrance at the 2004 Royal Rumble with him getting the loudest pop.
Kofi Kingston is the WWE's next big thing, and they made that happen tonight.

That was a decent main event, Swagger won, Sheamus gave us Striker and Orton and Kofi had an epic brawl. Those things saved this from being a truly woeful Raw.

I think this was the best RAW in a long time. A bit lax on the actual wrestling, yes, but it's a go-home RAW to Survivor Series and they need to sell the PPV, not to mention they're in MSG, WWE's home base, meaning there doesn't necessarily have to be too much wrestling done. The main event was awesome, and would have been better given a little bit more time. The Kofi/Orton segment was great, and made me want to see Kingston/Orton that much more. Even the Piper/McMahon segment was well done.
Best RAW in quite a while, and possibly the best of the year.

Best part was Striker doing his Ventura impression.
And Kofi/Orton.

Honestly, that was exactly what I was thinking. It was sort of surreal seeing Kofi Kingston breaking through the glass ceiling tonight. I really think that this is the turning point of his career. WWE would be foolish to let this momentum slide. They've got a future star in their hands.

So I have been busy. What did I miss? -Cena/Taker def. DX and Jerishow in a triple threat tag match. Taker tombstones Cena post-match. -Kofi Kingston and Randy Orton had a brawl, resulting in Kingston doing the "Boom Drop" (hate that name) on Orton through a table. -Swagger def. Bourne. -Miz def. MVP. -Triple H Pedigreed Hornswoggle for the whole "DX" thing, which made me pop cause I hate Hornswoggle. -They showed a cool little "History of WWE at MSG" video. -Piper challenged Vince McMahon to a match, which was declined by V-Mac. I think that's about it.

Just the mental image of Kofi standing there looking down on Orton's fallen body with everyone cheering behind him...incredible.

So I have been busy. What did I miss? One crazy ass night. In short... Taker and Cena won the triple threat, Taker Tombstoned Cena afterward. Miz beat MVP, Swagger beat Bourne, and Melina beat Alicia. And Kofi beat down Orton en route to putting him through a table, clearly setting up a Tables match at TLC. That's where the matches and the sanity end. Besides that, Piper has had 7,000 car wrecks and 30 matches in his life, Santino wore 40 shirts, and all kinds of other weird crap happened.

HHH pedigreed Hornswaggle? What does that do for HHH, or are they started heel run #34533 for him?

Let's not gloss over the Pedigree to Swoggle either. Didn't care for much of this Raw, but considering the last few I've either skipped entirely or tuned out in five minutes, that's improvement. The Kofi thing was quite cool as well.

What I mean is that MSG obviously has a lot of history with WWE, and WWE can spend TV time with stuff like that video they showed tonight detailing WWE's highlights at MSG. In any other venue, they'd spend that time with an extra promo or match, getting someone over, where at MSG they can put the company as a whole over. I'm sorry if that doesn't make much sense, my brain isn't really putting what I'm thinking into words too well right now. ;D

Was in retaliation for Hornswoggle ignoring the cease and desist order - seems to be setting up Hornswoggle costing them the belt at Survivor Series.

HHH pedigreed Hornswaggle? What does that do for HHH, or are they started heel run #34533 for him? It's probably nothing. A lot of us popped for it, though. EDIT: So help me God if the midget gets involved in the World Title match IN ANY WAY... I'll probably be angry and forget about it by the next day. Also, Masters did his dancing pecs thing again and the guy with the hats from 30 Rock showed up (I'd have preferred Jack McBrayer, personally).

It was good for a laugh, and they should have continued it with having someone tease him for it, but I do not want a dancing pec guy on a weekly basis.

Nope, still treated as faces by Cole for doing it since, uh... They're not Chavo?

They'll probably play the heels this Sunday, then forget about it the next night.
