Questions for 2/23 WWE Raw
(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 segment of the show?
Answers from 2/23 WWE Raw
(1) Shawn Michaels won the longest match of the show, defeating JBL at the 13:00 mark. C.M. Punk was a close second with his opening match victory coming at 10:25.
(2) Mike Knox defeated Jamie Noble in 29 seconds to claim this week's shortest match victory. Jamie Noble was injured during the match, unfortunately. Coming a close second was John Cena, who squashed Chavo Guerrero in 45 seconds.
(3) The show-opening segment featuring Edge, Vickie Guerrero, Big Show, and John Cena clocked in at 11:40 of talk time. Piper vs. Jericho was 10:40 of talk time. Our winner, though, was Triple H, Randy Orton, and The Legacy finishing the show with 11:53 of "talk time." Very, very close race this week.
Looking at the scoreboard, there were plenty of Shawn Michaels and Triple H picks to pick up two points, only a few folks grabbed Mike Knox for the shortest match victory on the show, and no one could put together all three. Plenty of two-out-of-threes this week.
