Wwe Monday Night Raw 5/4/09 Review
The show, for once, didn’t start with talking on the mic. It seemed as though we were on a collision course with wrestling as Orton came to ringside ad awaited Shane McMahon. McMahon ambushed Orton from behind and the match started on the outside, with a brawl ensuing. Shane had this thing going his way completely but out came the rest of Legacy and they descended on Shane, beating him 3 on 1. MVP came down to the ring for the save, he was throwing haymakers, but it wasn’t enough as he had to fight 3 on 1 as well. Batista came running down to ringside as well, and he single handedly took out Legacy and Randy Orton ran away like a cowardly dog.
Vickie Guerrero came down to ringside and yelled about crap. She said that Shane McMahon will wrestle Orton. Mvp will take on Cody Rhodes, and Batista will face Ted Dibiase. If either one wins their match they join either Randy Orton or Shane’s corner. “Win and your in” they said, and I was a blur case I was tired.
Kofi Kingston defeated Matt Hardy
Matt Hardy was fighting with a cast again. Kofi was getting worked over really good by Matt in this match. Even with one arm Matt hardy was putting on a good match, nd that’s a big credit to him and Kofi, both working well through the match, much like Cowboy Bob Orton when he wore a cast for six years. In a shocker, Kofi Kingston somehow managed to win this one via pinfall, this was rad; Kofi Kingston then was attacked by Matt Hardy with his cast, surprise surprise.
Cody Rhodes defeated MVP by countout
MVP was putting on a good show here against Cody Rhodes in this match up. Cody has been steadily improving as well, I’m surprised that the WWE hasn’t forced him to bulk up, he looked small compared to a much larger MVP. It wasn’t like he was being dwarfed but it was definitely interesting to note. William Regal knocked MVP off the apron, forcing a count out.
At this point there was a singing contest? It was weird. Festus and Jillian sang and what not. The Miz came out and beat up Festus, and then cut another promo about how cool he was. He called out John Cena again and this time around John Cena came out to the ramp. Then down came The Big Show.
There was a stand off, no sign of the Miz here, just Show and Cena. The Big Show then beat up Cena, much to the fans delight…well adult fans that don’t buy ppv or merchandise and talk on blogs. Not me, I buy stuff and barely scrape enough cash for 2 ppv’s a month.
Mickie James defeated Maryse
This was an interesting match up. Mickie James got a lot of good shots into this match up and it seemed like Maryse was made to look weak against the former Women’s champion because the ending was terrible. Maryse lost this one clean, and I am tired. This was dumb.
Ted Dibiase Jr. defeated Batista
This seemed obvious, with MVP losing earlier, I knew that Ted would be losing this one. This was standard Batista fair, he was getting worked early on, with rest holds of all things, until an epic comeback. After a while, I thought this thing was going to go all Batista, but then, Ted Dibiase won via disqualified!
Carlito defeated The Brian Kendrick
This match was great, it was fast paced and entertaining. However, this match was terrible for Kendrick. Once again Kendrick loses, and Carlito has really upped his game. Carlito pushes through in his one even though Kendrick has a lot of great pieces of offense though, so it wasn’t a total squash, but when the dust settled it was Carlito looking good yet again.
Shane McMahon defeated Legacy via DQ
This was a major handicap match. Shane McMahon was taking care of business. Seriously, he was really putting on a great show getting the upper hand on all of Legacy. However, it wouldn’t last forever because Orton got upset and was stomping Shane out like a chump. I’m not sure where the WWE was going through with this match, they are showing Shane can be superman at times, taking unnecessary risks. Legacy really then went to work on permanently injuring Shane McMahon towards the end of this match by putting his leg down and getting hit with the steel steps. I hate this ending, and didn’t get it. Shane McMahon wins but gets a broken leg for his trouble.

Honestly, I thought that Primo and Carlito were going to come out at the end of the show to help Shane McMahon... as that was set up when Legacy and Randy Orton went insane on them a couple weeks back, and it would have set up a battle for the tag team titles at Judgment Day.
ReplyDeleteI laughed my ass off about the singing contest... I thought it was really ripping on the one aspect of last week's Smackdown that just didn't seem to belong. Now Jared the Subway Guy... that seemed out of place.
The Miz seems like he is trying really hard to be Jericho, and he doesn't really have the same charisma or the vocabulary to do it.
And is it just me, or has Santino been going through a face turn since Wrestlemania? When he disrespected Chavo, I definitely got that vibe.
But you know me... I am glad that MVP is part of the A-storyline now.
