Jimmy reviews RAW for 9/5
RAW OpeningKurt Angle vs. Eugene
German suplex right away by Kurt and he stomps away. Back suplex gets 2. Kurt's got a USA mouthpiece. Angle clobbers Eugene around. Backbreaker gets 2. Eugene hulks up and spinebusters Angle. He does his Duggan impression, but misses the tackle, and Kurt rams his leg into the post. Ankle lock finishes shortly after. He keeps in on after the match, and Cena saves, who is in turn booted down by Tomko (!?). Ooooookay
Backstage, Bischoff gives Cena to Tomko.
Heart Throbs vs. Viscera and Val Venis
Romeo stomps Val, but Val clotheslines him. Kness and russian legsweep by Val. Uncle Slam is blocked and Val gets a reverse curtain call and tags vis. Vis splash misses and Antonio comes in. Val gets after Vis belly to bellies, but the Money Shot is prevented. Heart Throbs work over Val's knee good. Val's desperation enzuiguri misses. Finally Viscera gets the hot tag. He cleans house, and a Samoan Drop finishes for the V's. Fun tag match. **
Short Masters video.
Linda tells us to go to americares.org
Time for Carlito's Cabana. Ashley is the guest. Carlito insults her, and Ashley keeps laughing at EVERYTHING. Carlito reveals he attacked Flair with that chainsaw last week. We find out Torrie vs. Ashley is tonight. Carlito gets ready to spit an apple on Ashley, but Flair saves. They brawl, but Flair uses the testicular claw to dominate. Low blow and Carlito runs. We get a match between them officially for the IC Title at Unforgiven. Flair drops elbows and knees on some apples.
Cade and Murdoch vignette. Murdoch is getting increasingly gayer as weeks go by.
Edge vs. Matt Hardy highlights from last week.
Backstage, Bischoff meets with Matt and books him vs. Edge at Unforgiven, as long as they stay away from each other. He also books him vs. Snitsky next.
Matt Hardy vs. Snitsky
Edge (with neckbrace) and Lita comes out for commentary. Snitsky controls for a bit, and Hardy fights back with the side effect. He heads up the ramp towards Edge and gets attacked from behind by Snitsky, who rams him into the steps. He gets the Gunn-Slinger in the ring for the pin. He goes to hit Matt with the ring bell, and Show saves, but Snitsky still manages to hit Matt and run. DUD
TNA commercial
Snitsky vs. John Cena
Cena pounds Snitsky. Fisherman's buster gets 2 for Cena. Elbow drop gets 2. Tomko spinebusters Cena though and knees him a bit. Running Powerslam gets 2. Tomko suplex gets 2. Tomko goes to the chinlock into the clothesline. Cena fights back with clotheslines. Hiptoss, Protoplex, 5 Knuckle Shuffle and FU finish for Cena. Kurt attacks afterwards with an Angle Slam on the stage. Eh. 1/2*
Backstage, Todd interviews Kurt, who is very intense.
Torrie Wilson w/ Candice and Victoria vs. Ashley
Ashley botches a sunset flip Torrie or something, and Torrie stomps a bit. She gets 2. X-Factor finishes for Torrie. Awful.

Kerwin White comes out to watch in his golf cart. Conway elbow gets 2. Shelton clotheslines and samoan drops Conway for 2. Conway pounds a bit, and gets a neckbreaker for 2. Conway goes to the chinlock. Shelty fights back, getting a seated clothesline for 2. Shelton goes up and gets the flying clothesline for 2.

Another TNA commercial.
Small Mick Foley video.
Hurricane and Rosey vs. Lance Cade and Trevor Murdoch
Murdoch and Hurricane start. Rosey comes in and slams Murdoch a few times. Corner clothesline and shoulderblock from Rosey. Cade gets the tag, and they stun gun Rosey. They double team Rosey illegally. Double elbow and double clothesline gets 2. Double clothesline and Cade elbow gets 2. It really drags here. Hurricane finally gets the hot tag. Missle dropkick by Hurricane on Murdoch. Hurri-headscissors and crossbody get 2. Rosey takes care of Cade. Murdoch jawbreakers Hurricane and goes up and gets a flying bulldog for the pin. Meh. *1/2
Masters video.
Backstage, Grisham interviews Masters.
Masterlock Challange time. Shawn puts up a valiant fight, and Masters just lets go and goes nut with a chair and the Lock. Non-endings blow.
Overall Thoughts: Bad RAW. Wake me up when they move to USA.
