Note: I'll be posting the Royal Rumble prediction contest results later this week and reporting those.
As for last night's Raw, we continued the "Place Your Bets" contest with three questions to answer for last night's Raw:
(1) Who will win in the longest match of the show?
(2) Who will win in the shortest match of the show?
(3) Name one person involved in the longest talking segment of the show?
Answers from last night
(1) WWE World Hvt. champion John Cena won the longest match of the night with a victory over Chris Jericho at 12:25. Knox & Kane nearly picked up the win with a victory over Kofi & Rey at 11:40.
(2) Another tight race thanks to some short matches. I have Beth Phoenix's squash victory over Candice Michelle at 2:30, which was just a hair shorter than Cryme Tyme or Priceless's tag victory at 3:00. I still don't know who actually won.
(3) The key talking segments of the show were Orton-Shane in the opening segment, Jericho-Cena in the middle, and JBL-Shawn Michaels in the seventh quarter hour. Jericho-Cena wasn't nearly as long as the first or last talking segments, and both of those segments were very close in length. So, we're going with Randy Orton, Shane McMahon, JBL, and Shawn Michaels as applicable answers.
Congrats are in order to Joseph Bukosky, who correctly picked John Cena as the winner of the longest match of the night, Beth Phoenix as winning the shortest match, and Randy Orton for being part of the longest talking segment.
