10:11 Wrestlemania 25 - the three disc set featuring the tag team title unification match  the WWE stole from the fans at the pay-per-view - goes on sale next week.

10:13 Santina comes to Vicki and says "Esscuse! Esscuse!" Vicki promises to prove it's Santino. She asks Rosa to give Santina a good luck kiss. Santina loses all control, grabs Rosa by the mouth and kisses her half way to tomorrow. She's forced to admit it. She's a lesbian. She enjoys the companies of the ladies, just not pigs like Vicki. Santina snorts, oinks and squeels like a pig in what may be the highlight of the night.

10:15 Cody is sneaking around with a metal pole backstage. He throws open a door, ready to kill the guy standing behind the door and Hornswoggle runs out screaming for his life. Just then there's a shadow on the wall getting bigger and bigger. And it's all over for Cody. I like the Hitchcock homage.

10:18 A Terminator: Salvation ad. Everyone at work is into the franchise but I just can't get excited about it. The third one was a let down. The second one came out an eternity ago.

10:20 Beth Phoenix takes on Santina Marella. I never expected to be saying this but I'm bummed that the girl vs. transvestite match isn't on the pay-per-view. I'm sorry. I want to hate this but it's my favorite storyline right now. Beth hit's an impressive gorilla press slam. I'm not sure I like Santina screaming in a falsetto during submission holds, though. It makes Beth look weak because it makes Santino look like he's still clowning around. Santina catches Beth with a small package for the win once again and Beth is almost in tears. I almost feel for her.

10:27 I love this commercial! Little Mac from Mike Tyson's Punch Out does an ESPN-style documentary talking about getting knocked out by King Hippo. We see him act out scenes from the game, jogging by the river. It plugs the new remake of Punch Out for the Wii. I want to buy a Wii just for this one game. That is nostalgia perfected.

10:30 John Cena channels Barack Obama in talking about people everywhere facing hard times, adopting and overcoming, etc. Nice piece. You can always count on Cena.

10:31 He's comin! It's Montel Vontavious Porter - MVP - and as usual I'm rock'n out in my living room. That's my guy, the future star of the WWE! The crowd is hot for him. It's the first episode of the VIP Lounge on RAW. I hate to say it but I'm not sure about the promo and neither is the crowd. He's talking like Cryme Time. Almost Snoop Dogg. He's overdoing it. And to make things worse William Regal comes out on his guest and plays it with a lot more charm and subtlety. Regal is trying hard to get him over, wearing the King of the Ring robe and cutting down the US of A.

10:35 Matt Hardy joins MVP and Regal and starting whining about his hand injury being ignored and how unfair that is, and how his loss to Kofi was unfair. Matt challenges MVP but Kofi jumps Matt. It's turning into a confusing mess of an angle. I don't know who is feuding with who. Chavo, speaking for Vicki, says it's MVP and Kofi against Regal and Hardy and it's right now.

10:41 MVP and Kofi are now taking on Matt Hardy and Regal. MVP eventually hit's the Playmaker on Regal for the win.

10:50 Batista takes on Randy Orton in the main event. To be honest I don't even have the interest in watching this one. I looked it up. Batista goes Bedtime For Bonzo with a steel chair and gets disqualified, then chases the champ from the ring and shakes the ropes. Yup. Good choice to skip it.
