Start of the Show:
J.R and the King announce afew of the matches for tonight’s show. Soon afterwards the music of Chris Jericho hits and he is on his way to the ring for an episode of the Highlight Reel. “Welcome to Raw.. is.. Jericho!”
Highlight Reel:
Jericho says that his guest tonight is a woman who created much controversy at the Super Bowl. Candice Michelle! Candice comes to the ring in a sleek black dress and her and Jericho actually sit. Jericho says she’s had a crazy week, she’s been on Stern, covered by the New york Times, and so much more. Jericho then shows the commercial on the Jeritron, it was the GoDaddy.com commercial. Jericho asks her how she responds to the uproar. She says she doesn’t know what the fuss is about because she bets Cincinnatti will not mind if she does a dance for them or if she has a wardrobe malfunction. One of the shoulders on her dress comes off, then the other does. Jericho is joking around saying she is too exposed, funny stuff. At this point, the music of Muhammed Hassan hits. USA chants roar and Hassan says this is typical of America. A young woman disgraces herself on National Television and the crowd loves it.He says this is what we call the “dumbing down” of America. Hassan says that Jericho is the poster child of stupidity. He demands that Jericho put a stop to this female exploitation. He says he will embarass him, just like he did the last time he was on the Highlight Reel. Jericho stands in the ring, mocking Hassan. Jericho says they are the poster boys for Jackasses. Jericho says they have a lot more in common than they think. “You guys are Arab Americans, and I AM THE IATOLA OF ROCK AND ROLLA!” Jericho then goes on to say that they are both young red blooded males, and both of them have penises, right? He says Daivari might not but Hassan does, right? Jericho then goes on to imply that both men are homosexuals. Great stuff. Jericho then says that Daivari is Hassan’s special little Valentine. This upsets Hassan, who says he is going to go to the ring and wipe the smile right off Jericho’s face.
Jericho says how bout I take you two assclowns downtown, to China town, right here on RAW! Jericho takes his shirt off and Hassan starts to head towards the ring. They are going to fight after the commercial!
