Loss Posted October 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2014 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Evans Posted February 20, 2015 Report Share Posted February 20, 2015 I don't know why I thought Socko was born later in the year but I guess it was in 98. This is a fun segment. I always liked Yurple the Clown. I wonder what ever happened to her. Nice to see Foley taking it easy after the hell he took earlier in the year.

soup23 Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 Harmless segment to fill out the B show like Heat but also having a big star appear. Mick is really starting to embrace the comedy stuff now though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zenjo Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 Yeah I marked out for the return of Yurple the Clown. Her juggling skills were about as good as mine. Incredibly nobody got their face shoved into the cake, at least not on camera. Mankind throwing bits into the crowd was fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteF3 Posted May 24, 2017 Report Share Posted May 24, 2017 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.
