WWE Monday Night Raw 8/31/09 Review
Dusty Rhodes was the special guest host and he was immediately called down to ringside, to a nice ovation. Rhodes got on the mic and talked about a few things, and I was too tired to care. Sorry folks, I’m back in black, but just very tired. Randy Orton came out and started whining and complaining about Dusty’s attempt to make a title match between Cody Rhodes and Orton for the title! Out came Cody Rhodes, and business was about to pick up. Nothing too crazy happened, but things will definitely heat up later.
Beth Phoenix won a Divas Battle Royal
Divas Battle Royal Participants:
Beth Phoenix, Rosa Mendes, Jillian, Alicia Fox, Kelly Kelly, and Gail Kim
This was your standard over the top battle Royal, only it was really fast, and women were getting thrown over the top rope left and right. Gail Kim and Beth Phoenix put on a good fight against each other, and somehow Jillian also put on a show. Beth Phoenix was basically knocked out on the apron, and Gail Kim fought off Jillian for the majority of this match up. Neither diva could get the upper hand, and this thing really slowed down, after a fast opening. Jillian countered the Hurricanrana which was looking like a major botched move. Gail Kim managed to hang on for dear life while Jillian flew over her, but it was Beth Phoenix that took advantage in the end, knocking out Gail Kim off the apron after a frantic fight, and the Glamazon will get a shot at the title.
Chris Jericho defeated MVP
MVP got a shot at one half of the tag team champions, and this match was ok to say the least. It wasn’t the best match that these guys could pull out, but it had enough of a good set of reversals towards the end to redeem itself. MVP missed his finisher, reversed the Walls of Jericho, but Jericho hit the Codebreaker out of nowhere, and got the win on this one. The match seemed a little slow, then out of nowhere hitting the Codebreaker really had me cheering, so overall, the match ended well, even if it took a little time to develop into something worth watching.
Degeneration X trying to sell dvd’s was stupid. Hornswoggle walking down the halls in a cowboy outfit was also boring…but Undertaker’s promo was scary…He’s back! Hopefully he comes back as the scary taker, not some easily defeated idiot.
Hornswoggle defeated Chavo Guerrero in a bull rope match
Chavo was wearing a Cow outfit…I kid you not. This is a new low, I couldn’t believe this was real, this was just the saddest day for Chavo’s career. This was a bull rope match…sadly. I took a bathroom break during this match, and upon returning Hornswoggled had won. Once again, this is a sad day for the Guerreros.
Oh yeah, Evan Bourne came down to help Hornswoggle with the big splash.
Mark Henry defeated Big Show by disqualification
This match sucked, and Show got Henry to hit an exposed turnbuckle. Then Show punched him in the face, and that was that. This match wasn’t that great, and Henry got beat up a lot. Lame.
Kofi Kingston defeated The Miz, Jack swagger, and Carlito
This match had a lot of great spots in this match up. These guys were flying all over the place, spot after spot, and it looked good at times. Even The Miz had a lot of good spots, which was odd. Carlito hit a sweet Backstabber and and I thought he won, but nope, Kofi Kingston hit Trouble in Paradise out of nowhere, and just like that Kofi retains his title. I tell you folks, this was the best match on Raw tonight, even if it was a spotfest, it fit, it was actually good, not bad.
Mickie James defeated Beth Phoenix
The wwe title was up for grabs here and it was another title defense for Mickie. Mickie seemed a half step slower than Phoenix in this match up. Towards the mid point of this match, Mickie was favoring her shoulder. Phoenix was taking advantage, hitting some high impact moves and this really calmed the crowd, only setting up a DDT reversal, and the pinfall from Mickie James! This wasn’t a terrible match, but it wasn’t really that great either. I liked the ending, and Mickie James did try to sell that shoulder injury, but eh, the divas title seems like a joke to me, a stupid butterfly belt…lame.
The final match was supposed to be Orton vs Rhodes, with Cena as the referee, but it turned out to be a Dusty Rhodes double cross, which ended with a Cena beatdown from Legacy and Orton, but of course DX came down for the save.
Legacy beat up everyone, including Dusty Rhodes. Everyone was out cold and the show was over.
Not the greatest ending.
