Monday Night Raw Results: 6-17-08

June 17, 2008

It was a night to remember.  Vince McMahon gave away another million dollars of his own money to a number of lucky fans except one who missed his phone call, poor guy, lol.  The biggest amount was $300,000 representing the 3 hours of Raw next week for the draft and the smallest $16 representing Ric Flair’s (who was present which was a great surprise) 16 championships.  McMahon also vowed to give another million dollars away next week so get yourself registered at WWE.com now.

John Cena opened the night with a surprise match against Umaga.  The big man almost proved to much for Cena whose knees began to buckle when he firsst went for the F U.  There was some steal chair action (it was a street fight) and a little work outside including Umaga thowing his back into the steel ring post while trying to behead Cena.  This gave Cena the edge and one the second attempt of the F U Cena delivered and won the bout.

Not so much with a tough challenge was the man Cena will be meeting at Night of Champions.  HHH fought Chris Jericho looking to avenge his long time friend HBK (whose out do to injury and having reported eye troubles).  It was a pretty even match up until the end where HHH delivered some high knees and almost clasped in the pedigree but Jericho was savvy a blocked the attempt.  Then out of nowhere Cade came in and attacked Triple H and H won by DQ.  Not going to watch his opportunity at gold be injured Cena rushed out to aid him but the team of Cade and Jericho proved too much.  Raw ended with the two laying on the canvas.

Jeff Hardy and Carlito had an impressive match up.  Not too much to say other than Jeff was Jeff delivering all of his signature moves toward the end of the match and picked up the one, two, three.  I believe not too far off heavyweight gold is in Hardy’s feature.

Kanye West Booed

June 17, 2008

It happened at the famous Bonnaro Festival.  Thousands of fans booed Mr. West, but why you ask?  Appearantly the rapper left fans waiting some two hours out in a field from 2:30-4:30…am!  The fans would later the next day boo everytime an artist mentioned Kanye’s name and some of the artists led chants such as Robert Randolph who led a Fuck Kanye chant.  Read more about this from Spinner: http://www.spinner.com/2008/06/16/kanye-west-earns-haters-at-bonnaroo/

Joke of The Day

June 17, 2008

Why is sex like riding a bike?

1. You have to keep pumping if you want to get anywhere.

2. It’s best to wear protective head-gear when going into unfamiliar territory.

3. You can do it with no hands, but it’s best not to try it until you have a lot of experience.

4. It’s easier to learn with the help of someone who has a lot of experience.

5. You can do it by yourself, but it’s usually not as much fun.

6. It’s usually hard to control your speed the first few times you try.

7. It’s best to have a soft place to land.

8. You don’t need any special clothing, but you can get some if you are really into it.

9. If you’re with someone who is having trouble keeping up, it’s usually best to slow down and wait for them.

10. Most people think it looks easy until they try it for the first time.

11. Once you learn, you never forget how.

12. If you fall off get right back on.

13. If you get a flat, try pumping it back up.

14. Remember to signal before you change direction.

15. Make sure that you’ve got a firm grip.

16. Sometimes it’s nice to have a cushy seat.

17. Once you’re over the top, you can just coast the rest of the way.

18. That’s why some of them are called Mountin’ Bikes.
