Thanks to David Skurnik for the following:
Went to RAW in Nashville, so I figured Id send a little report along.
HEAT results (I showed up about 10 minutes late so Im not sure if I missed anything):
Some fat guy who I didnt catch his name def. Val Venis with a Vader Bomb-type elbow drop
Lance Cade & Trevor Murdoch def. Hacksaw Jim Duggan & Eugene when Murdoch DDTd Hacksaw. Hacksaw looked hurt after the match. Not sure if it was a work.
The Highlanders def. 2 local jobbers with a sweet double team bounce off the rope flapjack
Cryme Tyme def. Chris Masters & Viscera when Shad rolled up Masters for the pin. Confused as to why Vis was teamed with Masters.
Notes from RAW:
Cena got a big pop when he appeared on the screen in the opening promo and Vince got a lot of heat. Then, HBK got a huge pop when he came on the screen.
Randy Orton got a huge face pop in the match against Edge, and there were many Randy chants. Might have something to do with him being from Knoxville, TN (a few hours from Nashville)
Lots of dead time between the Edge/Orton match and the very short Hardy/Nitro match. Made me forget how evenly battled the Hardy-Nitro feud was a few months back in a basic squash. Cade & Murdoch doing commentary mustve been interesting. They got good heel heat when they tried to shake Hardys hand. Where was Matt?
Grisham did a bad job with the Sign of the Night during a commercial break.
RVD got a big pop. Where was Estrada? Seemed to be some confusion when Umaga caught RVD on the Five-Star. I was surprised there was no real interference by Shane-O at ringside.
In my opinion, great job with the swerves in the backstage attacks for the most part. When HBK got attacked, I thought Edge did it for sure.
When I saw that Edge was down, I figured they wanted to make it seem like it was Orton, but my friend and I both saw it coming that he was going to be attacked as well. We were convinced it was either Cena himself or Vince, but maybe that was just us hoping it wasnt the obvious choice, Khali.
Again, there was confusion when Kennedy came out for his promo when hes supposed to be on SmackDown! I thought he made the attacks, but he denied it. I have a feeling that he will be cashing in the MITB before WM 24. He got a huge pop when he asked if we wanted him to cash in the MITB tonight, and then a lot of heat when he said the obvious, not gonna happen.
