The night of the whole Raw madness—and it really is madness (albeit extremely professional and fine-tuned) on the production side of the WWE wall—my request to bring a “good” camera along to the event was, for lack of a better descriptive word, cockblocked. So I was relegated to the use of my Lumix point-and-shoot and its dinky-ass, crap flash. Seriously, how can any camera manufacturer think a flash the width of a common household staple will illuminate anything beyond five-fucking-feet? Consequently my photos were all rather hit-and-miss for the most part, depending on the amount of motion, available light, and other technical whatnot, but this one seemed funny in that it not only showed the size discrepancy at play here but Johnny Knoxville’s expression on the screen behind as well—mere moments before the Great Khali attempted to lift it off his face. Anyway, later today we’ll be posting up the full video replay of Beth Phoenix, Hornswoggle, Big Dick Johnson, Chris Pontius, Boogeyman, Knoxville, and Khali in the ring, so keep a crossed eye on the marquee.
