Questions for 6/22 WWE Raw (Season 2, Week 10)
(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 6/22 WWE Raw (Season 2, Week 10)
(1) Triple H vs. Randy Orton went a full 20 minutes, but there was no winner to the match, so Big Show wins the category for his 10:25 victory over John Cena. I will be awarding 1/2 point to anyone who picked Randy Orton or Triple H.
(2) The typical divas match on the show actually went five minutes this week in a break from the norm, opening the door for Cody Rhodes to secure the shortest match victory at 3:53.
(3) There was a lot of talking on the commercial-free Raw, but Vince McMahon and Donald Trump had the longest talking segment, going over 11 minutes for their "seller's remorse" transaction that dragged on forever.
Caldwell's PYB analysis: Tough week this week. No one had Big Show or Cody Rhodes for (1) and (2), respectively, leaving plenty of half-points for Orton/Hunter picks in (1). First place stays with ManBearPig this week, but there's a shake-up in the Top Five heading into the summer.
