Reviews/Thoughts:
I forgot RAW was three hours tonight, so I missed the first hour. Tuned in to see Orton in the ring. He cuts a promo on Christian. Christian is coming out to the ring. And then Christian plays the heel and backs off. Security gets to Orton. RAW GM basically prevents Orton from competing tonight.

Oops. Austin says Christian has a match with Mysterio!

Christian/Mysterio was OK for what it was. Punk and New Nexus interfered, of course.

Vickie wants Austin to grant Ziggler a U.S. Title match against Kofi at Capitol Punishment. Austin says yes...if Ziggler drops Vickie as consultant/manager. Ziggler accepts and Vickie throws her tantrum.

Morrison vs. R-Truth time! Or not. Morrison doesn't come out, so R-Truth goes to the back. Morrison is laid out -- basically working off his legit neck injury.

Tag match was OK, but just too short for me.

Piper's Pit time with Riley and Miz as guests! Nice "Alex Riley" chants when A-Ry came out. Classic look on Piper's face when A-Ry said Piper can beat Miz right now. Miz puts up a thousand bucks. Piper toys with Miz and says $5,000. Austin and the fans approve. Special guest ref A-Ry!

Piper vs. Miz really wasn't much of a match, so I won't rate it.

Kelly Kelly and the Bellas will be on The Price is Right tomorrow! Looks like there will be a WWE Showcase on the show!

A 7-on-7 divas match? How many divas will actually be legally in the match? Rosa looks good with black hair, but still can't wrestle for beans. Guess I can't call that a Stinkface when Kelly Kelly uses the move. Yup, basically it was just Kelly and Rosa as the only two legal divas the entire time. What a piece of crap for a match. And we have a Rockettes moment post-match. Um, OK. I'm actually with Cole on this one.

Tough Enough finale recap as Andy is announced the winner and then gets initiated. LOL, Punk keeps saying "What" when Austin offers him alcohol. Funny moments there.

Austin comes out on an ATV! Hell yeah! GM has an email. Cole's pretty much pissing his pants now. Austin says it's all up to the fans next week. Power to the people! Three-hour show, fans make the matches! Austin chases Cole out of the arena. I loved this! Austin takes out the RAW GM computer. Not as classic as Edge's meltdown, but still just as entertaining with the beer. Oh wait, Austin also ran the computer over with his ATV. Now that is awesome.

Crap, here we go again with another Capitol Punishment/Obama dealie.

Nice main event between Punk and Cena. Loved the mixed chants on Cena at the beginning. Anyway, that's probably as "clean" as Cena loses on TV, huh? (Yeah, it really wasn't clean.) At least R-Truth is pretty darn entertaining nowadays.
