Daveportivo's Cultural Evaluation Facility

Adamle is here! Ratings! And he's got classes how cute. He compares himself to monkey going from crap actor to great president, hmmn...arguable but a fine comparison. He says everyone makes mistakes, he says he wasn't a great announcer but people have to let that go, he admits to his mistakes. He's fumbling over his words, he references a WWE Forum topic saying he should retire immediately. He believes in the American Dream, no not Dusty Rhodes, he means a land where a midget like him can play at Running Back in the NFL. Anyway, he put Cole in a match last night to bring some unpredictability into the show. Adamle then polls the crowd and asks if they'd like to see 1, 2 or 3 title matches. It's three! Of course. Ted & Cody vs. Cena and Batista, big cheers.

Jericho runs out before Adamle can respone, Jericho gets a face pop, "HBK" chant, Jericho says he ended Micheals career and deserves a title shot. JBL says he beat Cena and Jericho just beat a man with one eye. JBL says he's not in the same league. Jericho says last time he beat JBL senseless, and that he's not in JBL's league he's in a league of his own. Adamle tells them to knock it off, he says the easy way out would be to make a three way, Adamle he says he doesn't do it the easy way he does it the right way. Mike Adamle says its gonna be a 2 on 1 handicap match, if JBL or Jericho get the pin, whoever does gets the match at summerslam, if CM Punk gets the pin neither does.

Overall Thoughts: Not a bad show, but rather spotty and uninteresting in places. The Main Event carried the show to a good level. The annoying effort to drive home the "Adamle Original" saying got really old really fast. Adamle however is fun general manager and its nice to see him playing a sensible roll resolving issues.
