- Carlito beat Holly. When that ended Santino got on the mic with Carlito at his side and talked trash to the other 2 and spoke to/with Carlito in doing so. Rhodes grabbed the mic and talked for him and Holly before the 4 got into a fight. I don't see that as an extension of the match but as a seperate promo for the 4 so all 4 of them got 5 points each. Debate away.
- I can't tell if the Cena, HHH, and JBL promos were taped. It didn't say so so I gave them all the points.
- Hornswoggle got his 5 for interfering and then obviously his match was seperate for 15 more. Finlay got his 18 for winning via count out, 5 more for coming back to rescue Hornswoggle, and 15 for his loss to Regal. The only thing that might look strange is Finlay getting that 5 but if you watch it you will realize his first match is sepeperate from his saving of Hornswoggle.
The taped promos were fine. But honestly? In ring impersonators and 15 mins of wasted wrestling time? SERIOUSLY? Put someone else in the ring for a match? The women's division? Any of the tag teams? This was worse than any of the Mae Young angles. Or the Kiss My Ass Club.
Definitely saw Rhodes (and others) promo as seperate. They turned off the music, he climbs in throws some insults back and forth etc and then new music hits.
Did not say taped on the promo's so we were supposed to believe them as "live" I guess. Fine there.
Agree Finlay came down in a seperate subsequent match to interfere. To me - if its a new match, then its a new interference or whatever so fine with Finlay's 5 in the middle.
I don't see Obama in the points chart. Or all the candidates actually. I kid, I kid. I will say it was more entertaining than Rosie vs. Trump... "Bill Clinton" was hilarious. "I did not have illegal contact with that candidate" – Bill
does he come with free antacid to use after watching his matches and promos?

Yeah they definitely learned their lesson from the fake Rosie/Trump fight ... it was funnier and they didn't drag it out by having Umaga come out and destroy them. A little catering to their republican fan base. Works for me :)

Turns out Umaga is a big time Republican and McCain supporter. Thats the impression that I got anyway.
- It was announced on Raw last night that Ken Kennedy will return to television on next week's show. As previously reported in our Premium section, the plan going into the weekend was for him to work last night's show and end up in the King of the Ring tournament finals against CM Punk. Obviously that planned was changed and Kennedy will return to the company after Backlash. Kennedy has been away from WWE filming a straight-to-DVD movie in Puerto Rico.
As I looked at the weekly totals I realized I made a mistake (or I'm pretty sure I did). I somehow gave Carlito 15 points he didn't deserve. I'm looking through the results and can't figure out where I went wrong. I am pretty sure its not Carlito's but I can't figure out if they were supposed to go in a different column. Everything else looks accurate.
Can anyone with a free minute just take a closer look and see if those 15 were supposed to go elsewhere?
Not surprisingly nobody noticed because..well...nobody seems to notice scoring errors unless its their guy.

Farn, I pulled up the results and looked over the entire sheet. I don't see where you missed anyone's points, looks to me like you just inadvertently added an extra 15 to Carlito.
