WWE Raw 5/30/2011--Kharma's Explanation For Crying Last Week

This week's RAW starts with a nice video about the Military and those lost on this Memorial Day. As always, WWE impresses me with their support of our Military and those who have given their lives so that we may remain free.

There is a very long black screen pause, then to R-Truth, without sound, trashing a merch booth. Then to WWE 'having technical difficulties' only to go back to R-Truth completely trashing the booth, but still no audio feed. R-Truth walks away, see Cena's face on cups and banners, so he trashes a concession booth. R-Truth continues to rant. Then we can hear Cole and King, but video is not with audio. Finally everything is right and Cole talks about R-Truth's conspiracy theories. Now R-Truth is up in the stands going crazy over fans wearing Cena t-shirts. His mic is working as he verbally attacks a boy who is booing him, then to an older kid who is all in Cena gear. R-Truth's mic again goes wonky. There's a whole group of kids in Cena gear. R-Truth asks one of the boys show he's there with. He's there with his dad. R-Truth asks about little Jimmy and how big Jimmy has on a Cena shirt too. R-Truth's mic is still out of whack. He gets right in this guy's face and he asks, "What's up?"

R-Truth over the barrier ranting that it's not about 'what's up?' They boo R-Truth and he says they should boo themselves. Everyone's conspiring against him. He says he can't stand little Jimmy, little Jimmy makes him sick.

Cena's music hits, but it still sounds like the audio is coming through a tin can. R-Truth is seething at Cena in the ring. Cena grabs a mic, looks around, listens to the fans and the 'Cena' chants. Cena says, his mic off from video, after a few weeks we get it. He's mad at everyone, the man is keeping him down, the whole thing's a conspiracy and everyone's named Jimmy. News flash, that's a fantasy world. In reality, R-Truth is off the deep end. What's wrong with R-Truth?

R-Truth rants about it all being about him, always him. Video and audio align and R-Truth says it's all these people. It's also Cena. Cena and Jimmy have been conspiring to keep him down. Since he's not rapping and dancing, people don't like him no more. 'Cena' chants and R-Truth tells them to shut up, they're talking.

More "Cena" chants and they fill the place. Cena says these people are not Jimmies, they're the greatest fans in the world. These people agree with Cena that R-Truth should be in a straightjacket! Cena has no idea why R-Truth feels the way he does, if it's because of Cena and he wants a match. Same as last week, Cena has no problem knocking some sense into R-Truth. That's what R-Truth wants. All the Jimmies get to watch R-Truth beat Cena down!

Ding-Ding! Cena says, "Rascal Flatts, what is it? An email?"

Cole over to announce, wants attention. To the podium. And I quote (but his audios goes a bit wonky), "Let's make this match official. Tonight's main event we'll see R-Truth compete against John Cena. However there will be no little Jimmies allowed at ringside."

R-Truth says he doesn't like the joke and Cena will get got. R-Truth leaves the ring and heads of the ramp, talking to himself the whole time.

Cole then talks over video of Kharma and how she broke down last week and will talk this week.

Cole in the ring gets huge heat. He talks about Miz and how he's must see, then how Riley was fired by Miz, but the GM re-signed. Cole says that Riley's actions last week are comparable to Judas, Benedict Arnold, Wayne Newton and Sammy 'The Bull' Gravano! Video of Miz going off on Riley last week, then firing him. Riley took a pie face, then tore Miz apart, right down to his suit!

Riley's new music plays and he comes out in a suit, sans tie and collar all askew. Riley is smiling, almost giddy. Cole says never in the WWE was there an act of such treachery, such backstabbing! Riley, how could you. Miz was like a father to Riley. Miz protected Riley. Nurtured Riley, helped him grow and took him under his wing, then let him fly. How did Riley repay him? By unmercifully attacking his mentor. Doesn't Riley know there's impressionable young women watching all over the world. How does Riley think they were emotionally effected by what Riley did? How was Miz emotionally effected. Cole can tell Riley as Miz is a friend of Cole's. Miz was hurt by this. Miz was emotionally scarred. Cole doesn’t know if Riley realizes this, but Miz thought of Riley like a brother, a confidant. Riley was Miz's go to guy, his right hand man. Cole has one question for Riley. How can Riley justify his actions of last week.

Riley says he's never felt better in his life. Cole says if he was Riley he's get on his knees and beg Miz for forgiveness. Riley has no idea what Miz is capable of. No idea the type of pain, humiliation, punishment, Riley has no idea!

Riley tells Cole to shut up! Cole has a big mouth, just like Miz. He's arrogant like Miz. Starting to get a little annoying, just like Miz. Cole says he's none of those things, neither is Miz! But Riley is - Cole can't find the words. Finally Cole calls Riley a bastard!

WWE Slam Of The Week - video of Kharma taking out Maryse, then Eve. 8 Diva Tag Match last week, but before long Kharma came out the ring, but rather than attack, she had an emotional breakdown.

Kharma is in the ring looking totally dazed. She says ever since she was a kid, she had two dreams. The first was to become a WWE Superstar. Everyone said that her standing there in front of them was impossible! She even went out for season 2 of Tough Enough. JR told her that she was too fat to ever be a WWE Diva. She took his words, took them to Japan where she scrubbed the floors of wrestling dojos to earn training to become a wrestling master. She then moved on to every wrestling promotion in every dank stank corner of the world from here to Denmark. Until finally her dream came true. This year WWE made her welcome. The fans love this!

Her other dream is a little more personal. She, like many other girls and women, has always wanted to be a mother. And she will because she is currently with child! Unfortunately for her it's a high risk pregnancy, so she can't compete or do anything physical and risk losing her child. But, she will be back and wants the thank all the fans for allowing her to share her dream. She will be back!

The Bellas come out to the ramp. They laugh about her being pregnant. They thought she was just fat. And she's going to get even bigger. JR was right. Lucky for her she found a guy. Fame does have it's privileges. Nikki says that guy must have been hooked like a seatbelt. Brie asks if it bugs her that she can't beat them up. They asked if the baby has ears yet? One says that the baby's momma is so fat that - Kharma steps toward them and they flee. Kharma says that she hopes in one year they're still in the WWE, then she has a new dream! Kharma leaves the ring staring through the Bellas. King is disgusted, Cole thought the Bellas were just being honest. At the top of the ramp, Kharma turns and looks at the Bellas who still cower.

King and Cole talk about Obama holding a press conference about Capitol Punishment. Then they go back to that chopped up tape of Obama 'talking about the PPV.' King and Cole talk some more. They've invited all the big suits in DC for this PPV.

More video of the old guys, this time playing 'beach' volleyball with beach balls.

Jack Swagger vs. Evan Bourne

Prediction: Evan Bourne

Evan watches Swagger closely, but then eats a big boot. More stomping from Swagger, then he chokes Evan with a knee under the ropes. Swagger with forearms to Evan's back. Swagger gets Evan up, but somehow they toppled over the top and out. Evan back first into the apron. Evan rolled in, Swagger in after with a huge clothesline. Swagger pins, but Evan kicks out. Swagger does pushups with one hand on Evan's bum, the other on his upper back. Chinlock on Evan, but he gets free. Swagger kicks, then slams Evan. Swagger drops a foot to Evan's gut, then preens to heat form the formerly too quiet fans. Slaps to Evan's head, but Evan comes back with kicks to Swagger's knee.

Cole talks up Swagger as being an academic. King says Swagger's an academic from Oklahoma. You put your diploma from Oklahoma on the dash and you can park in handicapped parking spaces. (JR might not like to hear THAT one!)

Evan tries for head scissors, but caught up with a side slam. Swagger yells to get the fans into it. More little slaps to Evan, but he reverses Swagger's move and rolls Swagger up for three.

Winner - Swagger

Evan flees for his life. Video of Swagger losing the match and having a hissy fit that even DDP would have been proud of back in the day.

- Commercial

A great commercial/promo for the Tough Enough finale between Andy and Luke next week.

R-Truth vs. John Cena

Prediction: John Cena

R-Truth out to no music, just his new catch phrase. He's talking to himself the whole way to the ring. Cole and King talk about how the show opened with R-Truth trashing the merch booth and how there was technical difficulty that R-Truth will say was all in the conspiracy against him. Then R-Truth talked to a boy and his father wearing Cena gear. R-Truth was mouthy and nasty to them both. Obviously a plant as the father said, "What's up?" to R-Truth. This time the audio and video are lined up correctly. In the ring R-Truth's getting heat and talking smack, off mic, to the fans. Cena out with a smile on his face, runs to the ring and yells out at R-Truth who's yelling in at Cena. Cena hands over his strap, then heads back to the ramp to hug and pose with a service man in his fatigues. Back to the ring Cena poses for the fans. Off comes the dogtags, then the shirt which flies out to the fans, then Cena's ready to fight.

They lock up. Side headlock on Cena, but he reverses to an arm bar and R-Truth rolls from the ring to regroup. The fans yell at R-Truth who's talking to himself. R-Truth back into the ring. Kick to Cena's gut, elbow to the head, then another knee to the gut. Cena backed into a corner with more kicks. R-Truth is whipped and comes out into a running bulldog. R-Truth leaves the ring to regroup again. R-Truth gets into talking smack with the fans as well. About every Cena shirt he say, R-Truth commented on. Dueling 'let's go Cena' and 'Cena sucks' chants fill the arena. Cena sucks it all up.

R-Truth back into the ring after the ref reaches an eight count! R-Truth tries to kick Cena, but Cena catches R-Truth's foot, then clotheslines R-Truth to the mat. Cena then slams R-Truth in what Cole calls 'vintage' John Cena. Five Knuckle Shuffle to R-Truth, then R-Truth flees again! R-Truth is talking to himself out there and getting at fans for their Cena shirts. R-Truth, still in his 'what's up' jeans, returns to the ring. Cena gets R-Truth up, but he gets free and flees the ring again.

R-Truth into the crowd, getting yelled at by everyone, but Cena goes after him. Cena sends R-Truth over the barrier, but then feeds Cena a right hand that about drops him in the laps of fans.

The ref starts counting when R-Truth leaves the ring, but continues the same count for Cena, even though Cena doesn't leave until about four. The ref gets to ten on R-Truth's count, even though R-Truth is back in the ring, and Cena is counted out. That makes little to no sense in my book.

Winner - R-Truth via Countout

R-Truth flees up the ramp in excitement over the win. Cena is back in the ring and very confused. R-Truth over to the father and son he spoke to earlier. R-Truth takes the son's drink. The father isn't impressed. R-Truth takes a sip of the drink, then throws the drink in the father's face. R-Truth then runs for his life. Cena then comes over the barrier, looks to where R-Truth went, then spoke to the father, saying how sorry he is about it all. Cena then starts wiping the soda off the father with his arm bands!

Video recap of R-Truth's soda attack, then fleeing. Back to Cena talking to the father. Cena removes one of his arm backs and slides it up the father's arm, way up. Out of the blue a little blonde girl gets past security and glombs onto Cena. Slapping his back, holding onto him as much as he could. The camera turns a little to get him out of the shot as much as possible.
