I lost my precious sticker, more on WWE Raw including thoughts on Stephanie and Shane McMahon, Vladimir Kozlov, the same old Jeff Hardy, and the strangest voter ever
By Jason Powell Nov 4, 2008 - 03:00 PM |

Tuesday, November 4 – 3:00 P.M. (CT)
-I voted. No, really, I did. Never mind the fact that my precious "I voted" sticker flew away moments after I stuck it on my shirt. I really did vote. Heck, I even wrote myself in for mayor since I'm new to this town and I don't know anything about the mayoral candidates. Yep, I could be a mayor later tonight if thousands of strangers follow my lead and write me in for mayor.
-Fun episode of Raw last night. There were more "Misses" than "Hits" in the Raw Hitlist today, but I really enjoyed the overall show. I just wish they would have done more to elevate some of the younger wrestlers. C.M. Punk looked like a, well, punk. His tag team partner Kofi Kingston lost in a tag match. John Morrison and The Miz gained nothing in their one-off feud with Triple H and Shawn Michaels.
Meanwhile, the flashback video features showed decade old footage of Hunter, Michaels, Undertaker, Kane, and others featured prominently. The saddest part of the show was when they aired the clip of Undertaker beating Jeff Hardy in a ladder match six years ago. Taker gave Hardy the same pat on the head acknowledgement that Hunter gave him twice last month.
-It looks like we're about to get another installment of the McMahon family soap opera. Stephanie showed heel tendencies throughout last night's show, while Shane appears to be the babyface of the siblings. With the Raw general manager role vacant, it wouldn't surprise me if Steph and Shane fought for control over the Monday night show.
-Strangest look at the elementary school where I voted: An attractive woman wearing short workout shorts, a winter coat, and furry winter boots. Maybe she's just confused given that it's unseasonably warm in Minnesota.
-Did you notice the silence when Vladimir Kozlov was introduced on Raw last night? I can't believe his first in-ring exposure to the Raw viewers was a throwaway match against the impostor jobber. Charlie Haas can be a fun character, but his impression gimmick should never overshadow a main event player in the ring.
-I am so happy the election is finally here. I enjoyed the presidential debates, but I'm so tired of all the political television commercials. That being said, I'll take two hours of political commercials over that hideous "Saved By Zero" commercial that airs constantly during NFL games. I never thought about buying a Toyota vehicle before I saw this commercial 75 times every Sunday, but now I can guarantee you that I will never own a Toyota as long as I live.
