WWE Raw 10-3-2011: The end of Triple H's reign?

Being a wrestling fan, the little bit of content on Raw last night was highly impressive.  No sarcasm there.  Despite giving us very little matches, the matches they did give us were entertaining.

First off, Randy Orton wins the first match of the night and his victory was cut short by Mark Henry which sent  Orton  into a rage , beating the pulp out of Mark Henry.

The second match of the night was Mark Henry against John Morrison  and while thinking Morrison could possibly come away with the win on an already weakened Mark Henry, The World's Strongest Man came back with the win and his usual rant fueled on his make-believe oppression.

We come back to the locker room with John Laurinaitis speaking with the cry-baby superstars where we learn that R-Truth and The Mizz are suing WWE.  The cry-babies go out to the ring to do the usual thing that they do (cry about working conditions and blaming Triple H for that and hearing Vicky's annoying screech).  Triple H came out and put them in their place...and then scheduled a 12-man tag match for the main event.

After commercial break we were graced with a match between Kelly Kelly and Beth Phoenix...which led to an immediate disqualification when Kelly Kelly goes nuts on Beth Phoenix in what seemed like pure rage over her loss of the Diva's title at Hell in a Cell.

John Laurinaitis and Triple H speak in the locker room about seeing what all of the WWE superstars feel about the job Triple H has been doing as COO.

Now, I wouldn't call myself a Santino fan but he always entertains with his obnoxious, goofy behavior.  During Jinder Mahal's assumed trash talk in his (possible) native language, Santino comes out talking gibberish ending with a Yahtzee, haha.  They begin with a match in which Santino wins within seconds with the Cobra.

Finally we come to our main event.  The main event was an explosion of intense action with Sheamus, John Cena, CM Punk, Air Boom and  Mason Ryan going up against the crybabies of the night ( Which includes Alberto Del Rio thanks to the interference of his Victory at Hell in a Cell at the hands of John Cena (and immediately followed by the brutal assault by R-Truth and The Mizz).  Despite the usual dirty tactics of Christian and his buddies, Sheamus gave his team a big win after each non-legal man made an attempt to interupt the match and ending up taken down in one fell-swoop by Cena and the gang, ending in each man raising each others hands in victory. Truly an exciting match.

The end of Raw ended with the locker room coming out, superstars, divas, referees and even Jerry the King Lawler, who was injured weeks back after an assault by Mark Henry, for a vote of confidence for Triple H. It seems that the only person with a brain was Lawler, who said exactly what CM Punk said and that's that there is someone trying to ruin Triple H and the WWE.  With that said, however, all of the talent and each employee (even Lawler, Jim Ross, Booker T, Cole and the camera men) walked out on Triple H, leaving him alone with the crowd, mouthing what it appears to be a "sorry" while looking around in disbelief and probably deep in thought, fading to black to conclude the night's broadcast.

Could this be the end of the road for Triple H? Will we get to see John Laurinaitis beat to a pulp by Triple H in a pay-per-view match after we find out that his texting-ass was responsible for all of this?  Yeah I know;  Not gonna happen,but a man can dream right?  At any rate, I'm hoping we can see this storyline end Friday night with a bang and hopefully Triple H in the driver's seat still.

Work work work...

It's 4:30 in the morning and I just got my big batch of images rendering for my intro for the game reviews.  Here is one still-frame for you to enjoy.
