However, from now on, no matter how badly a show might suck during the week, I will try to get a recap up the following day. Thanks for reading Jab And Grapple.

A Quick Note on WWE Coverage This Week

Last night’s WWE Raw opened with Diva action as the gorgeous Kelly Kelly and Candice Michelle took on Jillian Hall and Kadie Lea: Kelly Kelly hits Jillian with a Rocker Dropper for the win.

Chris Jericho comes out next in a suit with the belt over his shoulder and demands that Lillian Garcia announce him to the ring as the champion. He then goes on to state his disgust for lack of respect. Batista comes out laughing and asking him if he serious and if he’s really demanding respect. Batista says you don’t demand respect and the only way he’ll be respected is if he beats Batista at Cyber Sunday. He them tells Jericho to shut his mouth or he’ll shut it for him.

Mike Adamle comes to the ring and tell them to save it for Sunday. He says tonight will determine who get’s respect when they compete against the same opponent in a Gauntlet Match that will be an "Adamle Original". Jericho slaps Batista and flees the ring and says, "There’s your first lesson in respect."

JBL Vs. "Stone Cold Steve Haastin": JBL hits Haastin with a clothesline from heel for the win.

Rey Mysterio Vs. Snitsky: Rey hits the 619 and pins Snitsky for the win.

John Morrison and The Miz Vs. CM Punk and Kofi Kingston: Morrison and Miz win after Miz rolls up CM Punk.

Santino and Beth Phoenix come to the ring and Santino is dressed like Gold Dust, Piper and the Honkey Tonk man all in one. He rattles off a bunch of disrespectful stuff about the veteran wrestler and then Hacksaw Jim Duggan comes to the ring and says he tired of him disrespecting the legends. (By this time it’s obvious that the entire show is based around respect and starting to sound like TNA with Sting crying about respect…blah). Duggan says Santino wouldn’t be champion if it wasn’t for his Boyfriend Beth. Santino starts to take off the Goldust, Piper and Honky Tonk garb and tells beth to hold it…he then says that Maybe they should give ti to Duggan and throws him the clothes, when Duggan goes to catch it, Santino smashes the guitar (Honky Tonk garb) over Duggan’s head, knocking him out.

Cody Rhodes, Ted Dibiase w/Manu Vs. Cryme Tyme. Match never happened. Rhodes, Dibiase and Manu attacked Cryme Tyme before the match go started and left them lying there.

This next "Gauntlet Match" was kind of stupid and this whole raw seemed like a waste of time, really.

Batista beats Regal, Jericho beats regal, Jericho loses to Mark Henry by DQ, Batista pins Mark Henry, Kane Beats Jericho, Batista beats Kane….WTF was all that just about. INcredibly boring and confusing at the same time. If this was really Mike Adamle’s idea then he should be fired because it sucked. It wasn’t fun nor interesting and if tonight’s Raw ratings suck, it’s no wonder.

WWE Raw Recap For 10/20

Mickie James & Jamie Nobel Vs. Beth Phoenix and Santino Marella: Marella pins Nobel for the win.

Ted Dibiase Jr. Vs. Kofi Kingston: Dibiase wins by pinfall.

Between Matches you see Dolph Ziggler trying to introduce himself to Mark Henry, Tony Atlas and Kane. They ignore him. Now I don’t know about anyone else but isn’t this "Hi, I’m Dolph Ziggler." thing getting a little bit old? Shut up and wrestle already.

They also show video of John Cena and about his neck surgery. The doctors said it all went well and that there was slight paralysis before the surgery. Batista talks about how Cena was a great and difficult opponent and HHH was talking about how John was back on his feet and visiting everyone while he should have been resting, but that’s John Cena. Everyone was very supportive of Cena and said he was a great guy with personality and such. John Cena is a fun and funny character in the ring. Like many others, I’ve seen him come in as a much younger and skinnier, lower card wrestler. Not knowing or ever even thinking that he would be as popular as he is today. I hope he recovers well and soon and hope to see him in the ring in the future.

Matt Hardy & Rey Mysterio Vs. Kane & Mark Henry: This one looked as if Matt Hardy and Mysterio were going to win, but in the end Kane caught Hardy in a choke slam and pinned him for the win.

HBK Vs. Lance Cade: In the end of this Anything Goes match, HBK ended up beating the hell out of Cade with a chair and pinned him for the victory.

Between matches, Jerry The King Lawler says that Santino Marella claims to be the greatest Intercontinental Champion and ion two week he’s get to prove it. King says that the fans get to choose who Santino Faces by texting their votes. You can vote for Gold Dust, The Honkey Tonk Man or Rowdy Roddy Piper. I hope it’s piper, because I love to see piper get back in the ring. I really never cared for Gold Dust and his Pajamas and The Honky Tonk man is like a thousand years old…no wonder those guitars disintegrate when slammed over peoples heads.

Johnny Knoxville interviewed The Great Khali for a segment of Jackassworld.com. One of his questions was that with the size of The Great Khali, is everything in proportion, meaning his "Tally-whacker". Khali took offense to this. Khali is in the ring and says abu-dubu-lala-dubi-whatty, or something like that and sing translates that to Khali wanting Knoxville to show up at raw in two weeks so he can show him real entertainment. Until then he’s going to host the "Kiss-Cam" So the porn music starts to play and the big heart goes up on the screen and it shows a few couples in the crowd kissing and then it goes to the beautiful Lillian Garcia (who was in the ring about to announce the next match when she was interrupted by Sing and Khali’s intrusion)…so Khali wanders over and plants  a kiss on the rather unwilling Lillian Garcia. Khali mumbles something and does the phone hand gesture and Sing says "Khali will call you."

I love the whole Jillian thinking she can sing gimmick. It’s like watching karaoke in crack. Jillian comes out to the ring and starts trying to sing Nirvana’s Smells Like Teen Spirit. The Miz and John Morrison are guest commentators with King and Cole. Kelly Kelly comes to the ring with Cryme Tyme. Cryme Time join King and Cole on the other side of the commentators table. During the entire match Cryme Tyme and Miz-Morrison are talking trash and throwing some of the corniest insults back and fourth and you can tell they were having fun with it. There was a match going on here too. Kelly Kelly, in all her blonde cuteness won by pinning Jillian. Both ladies looked absolutely exhausted as if they had been going at it for hours. At one point before Kelly Kelly rolled up Jillian for the pin, they were trying to do the whole, "Flip you opponent over your shoulder so she lands on her feet routine." but it almost looked as if they couldn’t do it. Jillian had to try like three times just to get the momentum to get Kelly Kelly up.

More video on Cena

The Main Event- Batista Vs. JBL w/ Y2J as special guest referee. But first, special time keeper William Regal, special guest commentator Randy Orton. Blows are traded during the match and Y2J is constantly telling JBL to get up and this and that. At one point Y2J trips Batista as Batista whips JBL into the corner. But in the end Batista double spears Jericho and JBL. Mike Adamle runs to the ring with another ref who counts the three count as Batista pins JBL for the win.

Afterwards Mike Adamle comes out as Jericho is walking around outside the ring. Adamle says that it’s ironic that Jericho appointed himself the guest referee. He said during his meeting with Shane and Stephanie McMahon, they told him to shake things up a bit. So at Cyber Sunday Y2J will face Batista for the championship with a special guest referee that could be anyone from Randy Orton to HBK to Stone Cold Steve Austin. Raw goes off-air.
