By thinksojoe · · Leave a CommentOnce again, another show that I’ve had a chance to watch, but not a chance to review, so once again, here are the WWE RAW results for December 22, 2008 from our friends at Rajah.com (after the jump, of course)!
RAW this week starts with Santino and Beth out back. He says the fans have shown him nothing but disrespect the last 12 months. We laughed when he lost his IC Title and hurt his… region. He has a secret about Santa Claus. Beth cuts him off and says he doesn’t want to do this. He tells her to shut-a-her mouth.
Cena comes in and said Santino has never liked Santa Claus. Not since he asked for that big Barbie doll house with the Barbie doll Corvette.
Santino asked how he knew. Santino says he doesn’t like John Chena and wants to face him. He can pick anyone to face Glamarella. Camera swings to Goldust. Santino then says it has to be someone with ovaries. Goldust is upset by this. Santino says when he wins he will tell the secret of Santa Claus.
Kane comes out with Kelly following quite a bit behind him. Video of Kane tormenting Kelly last week then assaulting the Miz. Kane approaches the male in ring announcer and takes him mic. He says he was politely asked by Steph to apologize for the events of last Monday night. He gives her a truly sarcastic apology. But she should apologize to him for leading him on and then lying to him. Someday she’ll regret not telling him the truth. Kelly looks freaked out. HBK comes out to face Kane.

Plus the Elimination Chamber playset that upsets HBK. HHH said once it’s all said and done you have to spend time with your family, especially your inlaws. The way to get through it is to hideout and watch the History of the IC Championship. See HBK’s (slaps HHH’s chest) three title reigns. Or HHH’s (slaps HBK’s chest) five title reigns. Or you can watch the complete SummerSlam Anthology 1988-2007. HBK talks about his favorite being when he beat HHH. More slaps back and forth. Finally HHH said something about HBK having hair back then and they start brawling. They continue to fill in the commercial as they fight and beat on each other like little (brothers) boys.

HBK said it would have changed things. It would have always hung over them. HHH told him not tel let pride ruin him again. HHH asks how him helping him is unacceptable but working for JBL is fine? HBK says he has to do things his way and he knows what he’s doing. HHH says he hopes HBK does and walks off. HBK says he does too.
