RAW 02/08/10 PREVIEW: LOOKING AHEAD TO CHEECH, CHONG & CM PUNK

TONIGHT'S GUEST HOST

NASCAR CARL

RAW (last week) did a super sweet job of making me want to tune in this week in three easy ways:

1) Wrestling matches that set up the next PPV main event

2) THEANIMALDAVEBATISTA going apeshit on Bret Hart and John Cena - what will happen this week?

3) Announcing that CM Punk and Luke Gallows will challenge DX for the Tag Straps

As if that match wasn't enough, they threw in Miz and Big Show and turned it into an elimination match! When was the last time they had an elimination tag match? On RAW, no less!

But since I have no interest in the NASCAR fella, I want to briefly mention what could go down three weeks from tonight.

MARCH 1ST GUEST HOSTS

CHEECH MARIN AND TOMMY CHONG

Oh mang wellness policy joke overload!!!11!1lofl!11

Okay, this is old news. But take into account (which most of you probably already have) that after tonight, Punk and Gallows could be appearing on both RAW and Smackdown! every week. Meaning we could potentially see CM Punk cut a godly, cuts-to-the-bongbone promo on the oldest stoners in the world.

That is awesome in itself. But if Punk is coming to RAW every week and he gets to interact with Cheech and Chong, I want to add my own layer of diabetic-coma-inducing icing to what could really be a deep and delicious cake of a segment...

CM Punk.

Shaves.

Cheech and Chong's heads.

Holy.

Carp.

Crap.

I gave myself goosebumps.

If it doesn't happen, no big deal. I'm sure it'll be a crazy entertaining promo regardless. But everyone is anticipating some kind of interaction between Punk and these old stoners, I think whether or not the Straight-Edge Society takes home the gold tonight or not.

Bottom line is, if Punk comes out on March 1st and saves the most notorious pot-smokers of all-time from the dangers of MARIJUANA CIGARETTES - ohhhhhhhh Sweet Daddy Siki will that be some righteous television programming. And definitely really help the build to whatever Punk will be doing at WM26, since that show will take place in the final stretch of the Road to WrestleMania.

WHICH REMINDS ME.

Reason #2 why Punk and Gallows need to destroy DX tonight...

MARCH 15TH GUEST HOST

STONE COLD STEVE AUSTIN

And if Punk has any kind of interaction with beer-enthusiast Steve Austin... then my dreams just may come true.

More excited for tonight's RAW main event than I have been for a teddy long, long time.
