“Yes, sir, we promised you a great main event…”
-Live from TD Banknorth Garden in Boston, MA
-Hosted by Michael Cole & Jerry "The King" Lawler
-We open up with a recap of the chase that closed last weeks show. Of course the WWE production staff once again shows that they are in fact capable of turning chicken shit into chicken salad by making it look about 100 times better than it really was.
-Jerry Lawler is in the ring to make a huge announcement regarding the World Championship. Lawler states it's the biggest announcement he's ever made on Raw. Lawler states that tonight there will be a World Heavyweight Championship match tonight between Edge and John Cena.
-From there we go to Piper's Pit hosted by Chris Jericho. We even have the old school circa 1984 Piper's Pit set for the show. Jericho says he wasn't planning on doing this today, but he's been berated by the hypocrites for disrespecting the legends that he's procured the original Piper's Pit and he will host the show himself. He states of all the famous incidents the most famous was the one he shows on the tron. It is of course Piper breaking a coconut of Jimmy Snuka's head. Jericho then introduces his guest Superfly Jimmy Snuka. Jericho states it was some classic footage that led to classic matches between Snuka and Piper and then introduces some classic footage of Piper vs. Snuka. Jericho says they looked pretty good back in those days. Jericho says Snuka is a grim reminder of what can happen. He calls Snuka the poster boy for what "The Wrestler" is all about. Jericho says Snuka is in his 60's but still embarrasses himself every weekend at indy shows in New Jersey. Jericho states that many deserving superstars were not allowed in the Rumble because Snuka and Piper stole spots in 2008. Jericho says whatever few functioning brain cells were left in his broken down body had to hear the roar of the hypocrites one more time. Jericho says that's the problem with all the legends, that they're sick in the head. They're too occupied with their egos to let it go. Jericho says its time for Snuka to pack it in. He says he brought Snuka out to show all the superstars what can happen if they're not careful. He says they'll end up like him a pathetic disgrace. Snuka stands up to get, and Jericho continues saying he doesn't have a right to be angry. He calls Snuka finished. He tells him no one wants to see him anymore, so he should go home and stay home. Jericho asks him if he doesn't understand, and Snuka screams that no he doesn't understand. Jericho says if he doesn't understand he can remind him of old school. Jericho breaks out the bananas and a pineapple for old times sake. Then he pulls out a coconut, and asks Snuka if he wants to relive his past. Jericho throws the coconut in the air, but Snuka manages to snatch it from him. Jericho begs him not to disgrace himself and says he made his point then runs out the back. Snuka poses for the fans, so naturally that allows Jericho to attack from behind pushing the set down on top of him. Jericho takes his belt off on whips Snuka with it screaming, "Live in the past!" He shoves a banana down Snuka's mouth and again screams at him to go home. Not as strong as the previous legends segments due to Jimmy not really speaking, but Jericho was still strong and got crazy heat from the crowd. They need to pay this off soon so we actually start building towards the inevitable Mania match, whatever it might be.
