Santino Marella vs Super Crazy
Santino is greeted by boos as he gets some mic time. Santino brings up the 15th Anniversary of Raw and how it’ll show some of the greatest moments of Raw. According to Santino everyone knows the greatest moment was from Milan, Italy when he became Intercontinental champion. Santino asks the fans to imagine if one of them had the same opportunity as him as one of them could even face him. If they were to beat him they may get an opportunity to become a WWE superstar. They could leave their stupid, boring lives behind, travel the world, be admired by millions and even have a cult following like he does. Santino looks around the crowd before deciding that nobody looks worthy to get an opportunity. Santino says it’s too bad and laughs as Super Crazy makes his way out to piped in crowd noise. Grisham likens this match to an Italy vs Mexico World Cup Soccer match. Coachman thinks no-one cares about soccer. Boy is he wrong. He should come and say that in England and see the response he’d get. Santino flexes at an unimpressed Crazy before both men work the crowd. Santino motions them to kiss his ass. Santino takes Crazy down with a throw then a sweep. The crowd get onto Santino who takes a bow. Crazy comes back with a single leg takedown, snapmare, la mahistrol cradle, drop toehold, dropkick and clothesline. Crazy forearms Santino in the corner then Irish whips. Crazy misses a splash as Santino perches him on the corner. After Crazy falls to the mat, Santino works over his ribs with some shots. Santino stands over Crazy playing to the crowd and gets caught in a sunset flip for a nearfall. Santino works over Crazy’s ribs with a gutbuster and several more shots for some nearfalls. Crazy surprises Santino with a schoolboy for two in a messy sequence. Santino drives his head into Crazy’s ribs, stomps, Irish whips and drives his head into the ribs one more time. Santino motions one more time and Irish whips but Crazy floats over a charge, turning it into a sunset flip for a nearfall. Santino goes back to working over the ribs for a nearfall before stretching out Crazy’s rib area. The referee spots Santino using the rope for extra leverage and forces him to break. Crazy gets his knees up to thwart a splash. Crazy gets some rib shots of his own in. Crazy slams then hits two double footstomps and stiff kicks to Santino’s chest. Crazy nails a standing moonsault for a nearfall. Santino cuts off a rope whip by driving his head into Crazy’s gut. Santino delivers a sloppy looking rolling front DDT for the 1-2-3. Santino’s mic work is a lot better than his in-ring work. Santino would fit a role similar to Matt Striker’s current one a lot better. Glad to see he finally looks to have a finisher although he needs to work on it a little. The match had good heat but was sloppy. Here is Your Winner: SANTINO MARELLA. Post match, Santino theatrically and literally trumpets his success while feigning shock at winning. Santino shows his ‘Italian’ passion before leaving up the ramp.

The Highlanders vs Cody Rhodes & Hardcore Holly
Main Event time. No reaction for the Highlanders. Rhodes and Holly come out together to Rhodes’ music. Holly is more over than Rhodes as the crowd start a ‘Hardcore’ chant.

Robbie drops two double axehandles across Rhodes’ back for a nearfall. Rory and Rhodes exchange punches before Rory catches Rhodes on his shoulders. Rhodes manages to counter into a sunset flip for a nearfall. Rhodes and Rory cancel each other with clotheslines and both men tag out at a referee’s seven count. Holly attacks Robbie with a series of punches, a shove and dropkick. Rory breaks up a cover at two then turns his back on the apron. Holly punches Rory to the floor before turning into a Robbie boot. Holly cuts off a rope whip, gets Robbie on his shoulders, spins him silly then hits the Alabama slam for the 1-2-3. Not bad. An okay match. Cody Rhodes needs to properly connect with the crowd as they were into Holly a lot more. Here Are Your Winners: CODY RHODES & HARDCORE HOLLY. Post match sees both men get their arms raised to Holly’s music. Holly then poses in the corner.

Grisham tells us to get ready for the 15th Anniversray of Raw to end the show.

Best Match: Paul London & Brian Kendrick vs Brody Chase & Kirby Mack.
Worst Match: Santino Marella vs Super Crazy.
Show Verdict: Thumbs in the middle.

Heat may be a special edition next week due to the big Raw being filmed tomorrow night. Speaking of Raw I’m looking forward to getting surprised and seeing some old faces return. Who knows maybe some careers will get re-ignited as a result? Anyway until next week, take care and have a good one. Shaun.
