The would-be FAN Idols found themselves awashed in the Sports Entertainment extravaganza that was Monday Night Raw. Surrounded by innumerable screaming tweens with their "Hustle. Loyalty. Respect." John Cena attire and cooler-than-you teens and young men with C.M. Punk lightning bolt shirts, the contestants watched all wrasslin' action:
Mexican Superstar Sin Cara, bathed in blue and gold light, pointed ominously at fw91, who explained that he faced the luchadore in a series of illegal underground battles and lost his mask after a particularly violent clash in a steel cage.
Stinger4Christ confused the crowd by dressing up as the Crow-inspired version of his name sake. After being asked to sign t-shirt after t-shirt and asked when he'd be wrestling the Undertaker at Wrestlemania, last Season's runner-up pointed to the ceiling and was carried away by a wire, taking solace in the shadows of the rafters.
After a heated argument, Jazzman was about to bash a cocky Heath Slater with a singapore cane after later made fun of John Coltrane, when the Host appeared ring-side with the Judges, dressed as various Superstars from the past. WWE Superstar Antonio Cesaro was haranguing KingOrangeTyger in 4 different languages, yodeling incessantly.
