RAW Notes

Not a whole lot to say about RAW tonight except two things:

1. Santino Marella should ALWAYS have a mic spot. The guy is gold, platinum, diamonds, silver and every other precious metal rolled up into one on the stick. I don't care if he never wins a match the rest of his WWE career. As long as he's talking, I'm listening and I'm enjoying myself. The Jack Tunney quip was awesome.

2. If they had begun the Trips/Orton feud the way they "ended" it tonight instead of with all the bullshit home invasion, Benny Hill chase scene crap they did before last week, it would have been a feud worthy of a WrestleMania main event. They should have done what they did this week after No Way Out. Then they should have did the spot where Orton handcuffed Trips to the ropes and then DDTed Steph the next week. After that... no home invasions, no ridiculous chase scenes, no false no-touch contracts that get violated the VERY NEXT SHOW. Just old-fashioned one-upsmanship, in the vein of what they did with HBK and 'Taker.

Better late than never, I guess. Maybe the match will be good. Who knows.
