5/29 Monday Night RAW Recap

Monday May 29, 2006
For the sixth week in a row, Kenny is in the final match of the show. This week he took on Triple H in the main event. Why has Kenny, a wrestler to never fight on PPV, been in the main event on RAW for six weeks in a row? Why is Kenny the only member of The Spirit Squad wearing a head band? I wish I knew the answers to these questions. If you can come up with any reasons why the show has become RAW is Kenny over the past few weeks, please post a comment and let me know.

In non-Kenny news, Vince McMahon reneged on naming a new RAW GM, the number 1 contender for the WWE tile at Vengeance was determined, and a former SmackDown! star returned to RAW. The strangest moment of the show saw the 1997 version of a certain wrestler beat the 2006 version of himself up.

The big news of the night involved the rebirth of ECW. In a truly shocking moment, Paul Heyman revealed the wrestler he picked from SmackDown! to be a part of his new ECW (hint: his first pro wrestling appearance was at an ECW event and he left half way through because he was disgusted by what he saw).

HHMMM?? Kane destroys Kane? Where is this going? I’ve been following the story line and have always had my suspicions that Undertaker was involved…Could this be the “other” Kane? The voice-over does sound VERY familar. And he is wearing full sleeves…I’ll keep watching…S~

Kurt Angle in ECW? Now I’ve seen everything. I guess he’s a good reason to watch.
Edge #1 contender again…RVD better win because I don’t wanna see Cena Vs Edge again.
Kane #1 Vs Kane #2 This is really weird and I don’t know where they are going with this but let me guess Kane Vs Kane at Vengence. P.S. The old Kane needs a new wig.

The masked Kane was this guy. http://www.obsessedwithwrestling.com/profiles/d/dorian-deville.html

I’m still shocked that Angle is going to ECW. He was disgusted with ECW and threatened to sue if they showed his image on their program, now he’s part of it…hmm.

Very entertaining summary! And I thought I was concise with my 500-word blogs.

On Kenny: It’s not Kenny who’s the main event, but his opponents. The Spirit Squad is a vehicle for the McMahon/Michaels and now McMahon/HHH feud. Kenny and the gang fight on McMahon’s behalf, I think.
