WWE RAW 6/1: "Place your Bets" Scoreboard after Monday's show - Change in standings after Kofi's surprise win Jun 3, 2009 - 5:18:57 PM
(1) Who will be a winner in the longest match of the show?
(2) Who will be a winner in the shortest match of the show?
(3) Name one person involved in the longest talking/non-wrestling segment of the show?
Answers for 6/1 WWE Raw (Season 2, Week 8)
(1) Kofi Kingston defeated MVP in the longest match of the show and won the U.S. Title in the process.
(2) Batista squashed Cody Rhodes in just over three minutes to open Raw, but Maryse & Beth Phoenix went under three minutes to defeat Mickie James and Kelly Kelly in the second match of the show.
(3) Although there wasn't much talking, just a lot of punches and chops, the final segment of the show featuring Ric Flair and Randy Orton's Parking Lot Brawl was the longest non-wrestling segment. The involved participants were Randy Orton, Ric Flair, Batista, Cody Rhodes, and Ted DiBiase, Jr.
Caldwell's PYB analysis: Only two PYB participants this week picked Kofi Kingston to win the longest match of the show. ManBearPig was the chief beneficiary, as MBP selected Kofi along with Maryse for (2) and Orton for (3). Also, MBP was the only player this week to score more than one point, which catapulted him into a tie with WOLF for first place in the Season Two standings.
