Jim Ross is thankful that fans have made their voice heard and he'll be returning to RAW this week to do play-by-play. Then he brings out Mankind for an interview. He brings a cake and is accompanied by Yurple the Clown. Balloons and confetti are everywhere - it turns out we're saying Happy Birthday to Mr. Socko. Jim Ross says it doesn't seem like it's been a year. That's because it hasn't. Foley clarifies that it's not Happy Birthday, it's Happy Birthplace. Mankind takes a cheapshot at Al Snow for not selling a chairshot on RAW. He makes fans promise not to riot no matter how bad his singing is. They sing Happy Birthplace, and Mankind says he's about to lock himself into seclusion for two weeks to prepare for the Boiler Room Brawl at Backlash. Decent job going from funny to serious and back here. Mankind throws cake into the delighted crowd.

Even as the product gets worse, here's hoping the return of JR will make Raw more palatable. Even in Ross' diminished state today, he has a knack for improving upon the formulaic soundbites of modern WWE announcing. Running a boiler room brawl between Mankind and the newly turned Big Show is pretty weirdly random. Mankind gets in his line about Al Snow's new endorsement deal with La-Z-Boy, even though he doesn't sell chairs. Overall, a cute little segment for the B-show, amazingly devoid of angles and drama.
