McMahon Pins WWE Champion at 64!; Floyd "Money" Mayweather Did Nothing!

Last night’s RAW celebrated Mr. Vincent Kennedy McMahon’s 64th Birthday.

At the start of the program, it was confirmed that the crazed fan was indeed Ted DiBiase’s brother – Bret DiBiase who bought a ticket to the show in order to see his brother fight DX.

Legacy stated that they did not ask for Bret’s help – and that regardless of the interference, Randy Orton would have still won the match.

McMahon announced that the referee’s call last night is final and that Randy Orton is still the WWE Champion.

But in 3 weeks, were all the main events have submission themes, Randy Orton will have to defend the WWE title against John Cena in an “I Quit” match. And if anyone interferes on behalf of Randy Orton – the title will automatically be awarded to John Cena.

Before McMahon had a chance to leave the ring, DX entered the ring and were uneasy with “nice guy” McMahon. It was then that they figured out that it was McMahon’s birthday – and to celebrate Vegas Style (while still upholding the PG content) brought in Show Girls, 2 guys from Cirque du Soleil, Elvis, and a giant birthday cake – with a big fat surprise (Big Dick Johnson).

Yet, before DX could give McMahon their final gift – Legacy spoiled the festivities.

Triple H, seeing as Floyd “Money” Mayweather still had not arrived, created a main event for tonight – the 3 members of Legacy vs. D-Generation X and Mr. McMahon.

The Divas once again had a tag team match in honor of the guest host – A Mayweather Mele – with all the divas dressed in boxing attire. However, it would still be contested as a wrestling match.

Mayweather finally made his appearance after the Unified Tag Team Champions called him out.

Side Note: The new JeriShow entrance theme is awesome – The Chris Jericho portion of the theme has more of a hard rock sound. Closer to the Chris Jericho theme release on WWE The Music Vol. 8. Good thing it was changed.

Floyd still feels pretty big about beating The Big Show last year at Wrestlemania XXIV. But, as Jericho stated, it’s easy to beat someone when you have 16 people jumping in.

Chris Jericho, standing tall over Mayweather, proclaimed that Floyd is not the greatest fighter and that he foresees Juan Manuel Marquez wiping the floor with him on Sept. 19th.

The WWE probably stalled for Mayweather’s entrance because of the police investigation involving a shoot-out outside a Skating rink in Las Vegas.

Mayweather did not book any matches whatsoever, and his in-ring personality… wait, he HAS NO personality.

MVP had to bail out Mayweather by booking his own match and passing it off as Mayweather’s idea.

MVP’s stipulation was that if he could find a partner and defeat JeriShow in a non-title match – then they would get a title shot at the Breaking Point PPV.

MVP’s partner turned out to be none other than “The World’s Strongest Man” Mark Henry.

Since their last encounter as Night of Champions 2008, where Henry became the ECW Champion in a Triple Threat Match against Big Show and Kane – I’ve wanted to see these two giants clash – The World’s Strongest Man vs. The World’s Largest Athlete.

Yet, MVP was pretty much in the whole match. Mark Henry was tagged in for 2 moves and then MVP tagged back in. And Cole announced that Henry tags in a fresh MVP. Fresh? MVP had two seconds to rest from an 8 minute match!

I hope it’s that WWE is conserving Henry’s strength for Breaking Point – where he can administer some real pain.

Remember when Chris Jericho wanted Henry as his partner – “We can cause unbelievable pain, but I didn’t come out here to be your partner – I came out here to be your opponent!”

Mayweather sitting at ring side was completely boring as he had nothing to shout out. He did pass MVP a pair of brass knuckles to strike Jericho while the ref wasn’t looking – Thus, granting MVP and Mark Henry a title shot at Breaking Point.

I do like the pairing of these two – finally! A real challenged for Big Show and Chris Jericho. Cryme Tyme may be funny in their antics, but JeriShow needs a REAL challenge.

Mayweather’s final segment was helping McMahon train for his tag team match with DX.

Thank you Mayweather for absolutely nothing! I hated his match against Big Show at Wrestlemania XXIV and he proved completely useless tonight of RAW. In my book he may be 39-0 in the boxing world, but in the wrestling world he’s 0-2.

Now… as for the DX-McMahon vs. Legacy match. It was good – definitely a flight of Stairs down from their encounter with Legacy at SummerSlam.

But of course you cannot go all out with another PPV caliber match on cable TV.

That’s why WWE Universe pays the big bucks to see quality matches – sometimes.

Orton tried escaping the match, but (wondering when he was going to show up) John Cena threw Orton back into the ring.

Randy was destroyed as he was super-kicked by Michaels and Attitude Adjusted by Cena.

This allowed McMahon to get the cover on the WWE Champion Randy Orton – Happy Birthday Mr. McMahon from the WWE Universe – the reason why we can watch WWE.
