WWE Monday Night Raw 3/22/10 Review

Shawn Michaels started the show and cut a random promo. A promo hit highlighting HBK’s career, and he called out Undertaker. He was then interrupted by Pete Rose and he made a match and he will fight in a pinfall only match against Kane.

John Morrison defeated The Miz

The former tag champs put on a nice opening match on Raw. I didn’t hate this one, and thought the two actually worked somewhat harder than usual. Morrison took a sick risk with a top rope sunset flip, before hitting Starship Pain on Miz. Miz loses cleanly after two great moves by Morrison. This match was better than expected, and it was quite good. Expect the tag team championships not to go anywhere.

Kofi Kingston defeated Kozlov in a Money in the Bank Qualifying Match

This wasn’t much of a match, it was ok at best. Kofi is a nice addition to mania.

Legacy & Sheamus defeated Randy Orton & Triple H

Sheamus did a number on the two former foes, but not before Orton looked like he was going to get the win. Sheamus hit his kick on Orton and easily pinned the Viper. Triple H and Orton barely worked as a team, and this match sucked.

Post match, Triple H threw out Sheamus from the ring.

Bret Hart gave a promo about beating McMahon, long drawn out, kind of boring at this point.

McMahon said that this Sunday, Hart is screwed.

HBK defeated Kane

Kane and HBk put on a halfway decent match, although, I wasn’t sure how much either man would give in this match. HBK had this match half-way done and the lights went out. Undertaker appeared and chokeslammed Michaels, ending the match? No.

Kane showed up and pinned HBK, but was able to kick out last second. Kane eventually lost to HBK after a super kick.

Michelle McCool, Maryse, & Layla defeated Gail Kim, Eve, and Beth Phoenix

Why do they even have these matches on television?

This was so lame. A very short, stupid match, the divas are stupid.

Batista came out and cut a heel promo. He’s been gold lately.

John Cena came out and was berated by a You Can’t Wrestle Chant.

This ending was stupid to me.

John Cena gave a sheepish good guy promo.

Batista and Cena fought each other and that was that.

Raw was ok at best.

Batista defeated Kofi Kingston

WWE Monday Night Raw 3/15/10 Review

Here we go, live with the Rattlesnake!

Stone Cold came down and opened the show and it was rad to see him in ring drinking ice cold beers!

John Cena interrupted things and got a huge pop, it was insane.

Big Show defeated John Cena

The matches started fast, with Big Show fighting Cena and Big Show completely dominating. John Cena got a huge comeback but was distracted by batista, and got caught in a huge chokeslam by Big show. Big Show hit the knockout and it was the end for John Cena. An alright match, fast one, but he obviously could’ve won like he did when beat Show for the U.S. Title.

Sheamus vs Evan Bourne no contest

This match sucked. It wasn’t even a match. Sheamus dropped Evan Bourne and then got on the mic for no apparent reason. I didn’t care for it.

Maryse defeated Kelly Kelly

Another boring divas match, not even worth mentioning really.

Post match all the divas started fighting, with McCool & Layla coming to the aid of Maryse and most likely setting up a Wrestlemania match with all the divas.

HBK defeated Chris Jericho via countout

Jericho and Michaels put on a quality match for Raw. HBK was having a hard time against Jericho, as Jericho was one step ahead for most of the match up, however, HBK would go for a comeback and had this thing all but sewn up at various stages of the match. Jericho wasn’t just going down easily though, until he missed the Lionsault when HBK put his knees up. HBK looked like he had this thing easily won, but Jericho ran away.

Post match Jericho was attacked by Edge, and a huge SPEAR knocked out Jericho and got the crowd exploding.

Wresltemania got a new match signed tonight, it will be Randy Orton vs Ted Dibiase vs Cody Rhodes in a triple threat match.

Triple H vs Randy Orton no contest

This match wasn’t half bad, it was actually kind of going well until it sort of died. How? Legacy ran n and beat up Triple H and Orton. That was that. Through the match it was back and forth, and I liked it overall.

Post match Legacy continued to beat up Orton. Triple H got back in the ring and started to help Orton but Sheamus jumped in and hit a huge boot to the face.

Batista defeated Kofi Kingston

This match was all Kofi for a while, and Batista looked like he was having problems. After Kofi busted Batista’s face open with a nice looking kick, Batista got really mad and attacked viciously. He eventually knocked out Kofi and won! Batista wins an impressive match, even though he got busted wide open.

I hate contact signings. This was yet another contract signing, only this time Stone Cold was the moderator, or whatever. It was stupid to me. I don’t like this stuff….oh well.

It's official, Bret "the Hitman" Hart vs Vince McMahon in a no holds barred match will take place at Wrestlemania XVI!

I thought Stone Cold was going to have a better night as WWE Host. As Austin leaves he lets Bret show Vince that his leg is not broken at all!

Hart yells that VINCE SCREWED VINCE, then hits Mcmahon with Cast, and then gets thrown over the table.

McMahon was left in the middle of the ring and Hart leaves standing tall. It'll be nice to see this match.

WWE Monday Night Raw 1/25/09 Results and Review Week Before Rumble

WWE Monday Night Raw 1/25/10 Results

DX defeated Legacy
The Big Show defeated MVP
Maryse defeated EVE
Cena vs. Sheamus (no contest)
Gail Kim defeated Alicia Fox

WWE Monday Night Raw 1/25/10 Review

They announced the guest hosts, and I already forgot who it was.

The show opened up with Degeneration X coming out for a match.

Shawn Michaels come out and talks a lot about he wants to win the Rumble, and asks Triple H to step down to win the Rumble. HHH wouldn’t bend at all, and it seemed like the two were headed to split up.

DX defeated Legacy

So far this match up wasn’t half bad. The match overall was going well, good fast paced action, back and forth tags. Legacy isolated HBK for a while, and it was interesting to watch as usual. However, things got really interesting when HBK and HHH started having problems in ring, and it looked like Legacy was going to get the cheap win. However, DX saddled up and managed to pull off another win against the faltering Legacy team.

The Dx guys are teasing a break up, with this Royal Rumble thing. It’ll be interesting to see them drop the titles on Friday and then break up and go on their separate ways. I for one am tired of Dx.

The Big Show defeated MVP

Before this match started The Miz and MVP verbally sparred and had a few moments before Miz announced that MVP will face The Big Show. The Big Show then proceeded to defeat MVP with such ease, that it’s surprising that he would ever get a title shot, considering he’s been on the way down for a long time now. Needless to say, this match was a non match, as it was over faster than it started. It was a jobber match to say the least.

The guest host is irrelevant to me, I don’t really care about these two guys.

Maryse defeated EVE

There were some half way decent points in this match, but it seemed forced at times. Maryse nearly killing Eve with the French Kiss is interesting to me. I liked the finishing move, but overall this match was short, the crowd wasn’t in it, and it just wasn’t that good. The divas are slowly, very slowly improving.

McMahon came out and said that Bret Hart would never be back in the WWE. He then went to the crowd and asked and belittled different people. The crowd rallied and gave a huge We Want Bret chant, but it wasn’t really changing things. McMahon then decided to simply leave with the crowd booing. But out came John Cena, for no apparent reason.

Cena cut a promo and basically said that if McMahon didn’t bring back Bret Hart, he would beat up Vince McMahon next week. McMahon said that he would invite Bret Hart back next week. John Cena was then thrown into a match with Sheamus, which is supposed to be punishment? Whatever.

Gail Kim defeated Alicia Fox

Gail Kim was hitting some impressive moments in this match and Alicia Fox wasn’t taking them all that well. She’s not that great of a wrestler and Gail Kim was having a hard time carrying this match alone, at least from my perspective. After a few terrible counters, gail Kim won this match and moves forward to facing Maryse in the divas tournament.

Cena vs. Sheamus (no contest)

Cena and Sheamus battled in a match, which seemed off, since there’s nothing to build towards now that they are giving away a potential main event. Whatever the case is, Sheamus was in control of this match for a good portion of it. Cena was getting dismantled, which is usually how Cena matches go anyways, but Sheamus wasn’t looking tired or faced as it progressed. Cena was out cold at ringside, after a kick by Sheamus and the count was on. As Sheamus was alone out ran Randy Orton and knocked out Sheamus, the bell rang, and this was another thrown out match? Does Sheamus win cause Orton? I don’t know, no one said anything.

Post match it looked like Orton had his eyes set on Cena, but Cena hit an Attitude Adjustment and that was the end of that.

Final Thoughts:

My internet kept going in and out during the writing of this review, so I was definitely more focused on that. I hate how I’m struggling to pay $40 for internet and it’s not even reliable.

This raw was ok, a lot of things happened, nothing stands out as excellent. The opening match was interesting, Kofi getting over on Miz also had a good amount of damage. Other than that though, this night of Raw is somewhat forgettable.

Randy Orton defeated Chris Masters
Dx w/ Hornswoggle defeated The Miz, John Heder, and The Big Show

WWE Monday Night Raw 1/18/10 Review

Vince McMahon came out and started to talk about Bret Hart and how he hates the fans. He was cutting a major heel promo, and it was one of the best I’ve seen in a long time. At times, I felt like he wasn’t even trying, he was just going from the heart. Say what you want about Vinnie Mac, but he seems to have a charisma that can sway the crowd into hating him fast. I like that, and it’s rare to see someone over in the WWE with just one promo…well…a long history of getting beat down after promos.

The Undertaker came out to interrupt things. Undertaker cut one of his classic promo’s, you know the ones where he talks about how he can see the fear in someone’s eyes. He cut a promo about how Hart was screwed over twice by McMahon.

He then moved onto address Shawn Michaels, as McMahon left the arena. Shawn Michaels came out to get an answer about wrestlemania. Undertaker says no, Shawn looks mad…oh well.

I don’t know if they will have another match, but I didn’t really think their last match was as good as I remembered it. In fact, I might go as far as saying that it is over rated.

Sheamus defeated Evan Bourne

How is Evan Bourne getting so many shots at the champion? Triple H wasn’t wrestling Scotty Too Hotty every other week! What the heck? I hate this type of booking…and I already know what is going to happen in this match. What a terrible way to come back to wrestling for me. Sheamus got a few shots in, but there was no chance in hell that he would win, there’s just no way. So he gets killed, and Sheamus wins again.

Orton was out at ring side for this match, and I’m not sure what’s going on with the booking. Sheamus and Orton met in the middle of the ring, and now Orton’s a face? What the heck? I like Heel vs Heel matchups but this seems a tad bit off to me.

Backstage Don Johnson and Dx got into some hilarious banter. Including, “Who is John Heder?” which was interesting none the less.

Carlito was dressed as Napoleon Dynamite, which was a bit of a chuckle, but the guest hosts tonight suck.

Santino got called out by Jack Swagger and Santino came out dressed as Don Johnson’s famous character from Miami Vice. Santino didn’t want to fight, so he found a replacement, Mark Henry.

Mark Henry defeated Jack Swagger in a over the top rope swagger challenge

Jack Swagger got thrown out fast in this match. It wasn’t even a match, it was a boring one, and fast. Swagger gets thrown out fast, which is hilarious.

Don Johnson and John Heder came out with the bella twins, and the two started in ring. I didn’t really like their banter as it wasn’t funny to me. The Miz came out as a friend of John Heder’s and that prompted Miz to get on the mic. MVP then came out only to get knocked out by The Big Show. The Big Show was then announced as a friend of heder’s too. This segment was so forced, it was ridiculous; I almost turned off Raw because of this.

John Cena & Kofi Kingston defeated Legacy

Dibiase has the charisma of a wet blanket. Cena got the best of him early on, and the match started with a fast paced tag team feel, despite Kofi and Cena not being the traditional tag team. Kofi Kingston has such a high winded offense, it’s surprising that the WWE hasn’t asked him to slow down. He just moves from spot to spot, and it seems like no one complains. Overall, I was surprised that Legacy actually had some offense that wasn’t just stomping and kicking. Cody Rhodes even looked a little better than usual, but wasn’t a major factor in regards to the overall match. Dibiase seemed to be the weak link in this match with Rhodes saving his partner from many moments of nearly losing. I definitely felt that they were going somewhere with this, and despite my previous comment about Rhodes not being a major factor, this thing was definitely better than most matches I’ve seen so far on the card. (that’s not saying much, there wasn’t exactly a lot of wrestling on this show up to this point) This match seemed to be going in the favor of Legacy and instead the good guys get a win over the failing legacy duo.

Post match, Rhodes seemed like he was going to attack Dibiase, but it didn’t go down. It’s going to happen soon, the separation of yet another tag team.

Once again, the backstage segments suck the life out of me. Hornswoggle challenged Heder to a match. Heder was added to the main event, which was interesting to say the least, and makes the match nothing special to me.

Gail Kim & Eve Torres defeated Maryse & Alicia Fox

Gail Kim was a great asset to TNA when she was back there. In the WWE she hasn’t done a whole lot, and that’s a shame. It’s interesting to note that she has some major skills, and it showed with a great dropkick off the top rope. Overall though, this match wasn’t much of a match, even though Maryse’s back breaker looked like it broke Kim’s back. The crowd was near dead as the divas tried to make this into a watchable affair. I’ll admit, this wasn’t the worst divas match I’ve seen, but it definitely wasn’t the best either. They have a long way to go before they can match the TNA Knockouts best matches. However, this one did have some above average wrestling for the divas, and maybe that will continue in the near future.

Randy Orton defeated Chris Masters

I’m not sure why Orton chased away Kennedy, because Masters hit Orton with a few moves that definitely were botched, but that’s all ok. Orton looked to be on the road to winning another match, but when the rko got countered by the Master Lock, I was cheering for a change. As Orton was fading, I was definitely cheering huge! But he got to the ropes, and I knew this one was going to go Orton’s way. Orton hit an RKO and this was over…oh well, at least it had me going for a moment.

Post match, Sheamus jumped in and attacked Orton, laying him out. I’ve never seen a kick be so devastating. Wow…one kick? Whatever.

Dx w/ Hornswoggle defeated The Miz, John Heder, and The Big Show

This match was nothing more than entertainment, which is fine. The match really didn’t have much wrestling, it had a few moments, with Big Show showcasing his strength and The Miz getting a few shots in. However, the best part came as the match broke down towards the end, with Heder getting inside the ring and getting worked! Overall, not half bad, I didn’t think it was a complete waste, but Dx goes over yet again.

Post match, Triple H threw out HBK, Cena, and Big Show and it looks like Dx is on the way out yet again too.

Final Thoughts:

Overall not the worst show. It had a few moments of goodness. It had a decent first hour main event. The charge towards Royal Rumble is in full effect, and overall I didn’t hate the show. I did think that there were some obvious boring moments, and overall this lacked overall wrestling.

The final moments of the night had Cena saying he was going to win the Rumble, HBK and HHH looking split in regards to winning the Rumble, and of course Big Show as well. I am not sure who’s going to win the Rumble, but I’m not as excited for this years rumble as I was in the past. I can’t afford it.

WWE Monday Night Raw 12/21/09 Review

This is already lame. Johnny Damon sucks…go Mariners! Sorry. He just didn’t seem that well versed, as is the truth for most of the guest hosts. A poorly timed, and stupid “Tiger Woods” joke happened here. A blonde was chasing a guy in a Tiger Suit with a Golf Club. This was stupid. WWE is really trying hard to make me hate them.

Melina, Kelly Kelly, and Gail Kim defeated Alicia Fox, Maryse, Jillian

Is it just me or do the divas do the same 4 moves. All of them! How many times do I have to see them try to pull a good Hurricanrana? Geez. This match was lame, it wasn’t timed well at all and wasn’t given any time. This sucked, I didn’t like it, although I’d hit Maryse up if I was single and my name was Batista…just saying.

The Dx guys ended up going to “little people’s” court…man they are going to get a lawsuit on their hands…I’m sure.

Mark Henry, Kofi Kingston, and Evan Bourne defeated Legacy & Randy Orton

I’m surprised Evan Bourne is still employed. This six man tag seems tired, but the guys made it fast and worth watching. Orton being a coward meant Legacy would have to do a lot of the dirty work. It was easily done too, with everyone getting worked and proving that Legacy sucks. Kofi’s delayed tag into the match made for a good amount of anticipation for him to lock up with Orton. Kofi was on a roll, but that doesn’t mean much in six man tags, considering Orton has lost in a lot of six man tags over the course of this year. Dibiase got clocked hard with Trouble in Paradise and this thing was over. Orton’s team loses, in a fast paced, frenetic match up. Legacy and Orton should go their separate ways.

The Little People’s court segments were stupid, and they just kept working on it…to an annoying effect. Dx has done stupid things in the past, but this is a new low, even for them.

John Cena defeated Jack Swagger

As soon as Swagger’s music came out, I immediately rolled my eyes. Swagger? Oh man, Swagger is ready to get buried. That’s right, Swagger is about due to get thrown back down to Ecw and eventually out. Right? I mean he’s going to fight Cena here and I knew he wasn’t going to win. Cena has to bury Swagger or…turn heel after a string of losses. Which one seems more likely to you?

Exactly.

The first half of this match was ALL John Cena, no joke. He was on his way to easily burying Jack Swagger, and I thought this match was going to be three minutes of hell for Swagger. We then cut to commercial break, and on return, Cena was getting worked over by the All American American. In fact, I was surprised just how much offense John Cena took in this match, getting hit with Jack Swaggers best moves, and still able to kick out. Of course, Super Cena showed up, after being tired out and just did his moves, made Swagger tap out, and ruined an otherwise interesting match up.

Chris Masters defeated Carlito

Carlito has to be getting fired soon. There’s no other reason why a superstar is on such a downward spiral after getting such a huge push earlier this year. Him and Primo are on their way out, it has to be the truth. I mean that’s what it seems like when watching Chris Masters easily handle him and knock him out.

Sheamus defeated MVP

It must be the night of burials, because MVP couldn’t win this one. I didn’t think he could win, simply because if he did, it would make Sheamus look weak. MVP didn’t even get much offense in, this was a complete burial of MVP. This was stupid, I hate Sheamus’ run…and I hate how the WWE makes the champion wrestle every week against inferior opponents.

Post match, Cena ran out and started talking smack. He wanted a rematch, but it didn’t work out.

The Miz defeated Santino

Santino came out dressed as Santa Claus. It was kind of funny. This match was entertaining, without making The Miz look weak. I liked it, in fact, this is my pick for Match of the Night! Santino losing doesn’t bug me, and he threw in some great counters, which I thought was awesome. The Miz continues his heel role and is quite good at it. I never thought I would say that.

WHAT THE HELL! THEY DID A RECAP OF EARLIER IN THE SHOW OF THE DX LITTLE PEOPLE’S COURT! WWE REALLY PUNCHED ME IN THE FACE WITH THIS! COME ON, YOU THINK I DIDN’T WATCH IT THE FIRST TIME? I HATE THIS CRAP. WWE HAS LOST THEIR MIND, SERIOUSLY LOST THEIR MIND! DX IS THE WORST TEAM RIGHT NOW, AT LEAST TO ME.

Oh and if that wasn’t bad enough, they end the show with Jericho fighting a ton of little people. Oh and he was dressed as Santa, and man…this sucked. I hated this junk. WWE really outdid themselves in the terrible department.

To end the show Dx let the little guy, Hornswoggle kind of join Dx as the mascot.

The Miz defeated Mark Henry
Hornswoggle & Eve defeated Chavo & Jillian
Dx vs Chris Jericho no contest

WWE Monday Night Raw 12/7/09 Review

Mark Cuban was the guest host. I’m so tired of guest hosts right now. I don’t want to see anymore guests, seriously.

John Cena defeated Carlito

I used to kind of like Carlito, and now it seems like he’s one of the most hated wrestlers. No, not by the fans, but whoever is booking Carlito. He basically got stomped out, punked out and well thrown out by Cena. Now he gets a match with Cena? Odd.

Sheamus tried to come down to ringside, but security thwarted his attempt. Carlito jumped up and tried to hit the back stabber but nope, Cena turned it into the Attitude Adjustment and beat Carlito without even breaking a sweat. WWE just dealt a big F-U to Carlito.

I’m so sick of Randy Orton. I’m sick of a lot of things with professional wrestling. Orton and his idiots came down to ringside and cut a promo against the guest host and I was tired.

Legacy defeated Primo Colon & Evan Bourne

It’s nice to see that Primo and Bourne have something to do but is this really where we want them? I personally am tired of seeing “hot shot” tag teams thrown together for no apparent reason. Will Primo and Bourne also now get title shots too? Show & Jericho makes some sort of sense, but these two? Not really. By the time I wrote that last sentence, Legacy had taken control of the match and won with somewhat ease. They barely broke a sweat, meanwhile Bourne and Primo gave it their best shot.

Post match, Cody Rhodes & Ted Dibiase Jr were ejected from the arena. Security came out and essentially threw them out.

Maryse defeated Gail Kim

Maryse, the worst woman wrestler since Kelly Kelly got the win. Gail Kim, a great knockout in TNA, is now just a jobber. I don’t like the divas, there is no saving grace to them. I’m sorry, I don’t like any of them.

Kofi Kingston defeated Randy Orton w/ special guest referee Mark Cuban

This match was all Orton for the most part. Then Kofi hit a nice backslide, and Mark Cuban gave the fastest count in wwe history! Kofi wins! I don’t care for this feud right now. I’ve already seen these two wrestle, they can’t possibly steal the show any longer. There’s no anticipation for me to see anything.

The Miz defeated Mark Henry

The Miz defended his title, and surprisingly won in a fast match against Mark Henry. He won with a ddt, and that was about it. There was a few moments that were alright, but overall a short, throwaway match up for the title.

Hornswoggle & Eve defeated Chavo & Jillian

This is not important. It’s filler, and bad filler at that. Chavo is still employed? Wow. This was a standard psuedo-comedy match up. Eve pinned Jillian to pick up the win.

Post match, Chris Masters came out to fight Chavo. Apparently Chris Masters is a face now.

At this point the Emergency Alert System decided to do an Emergency TEST! They interrupted my RAW program! What the hell! I hate this place.

Dx vs Chris Jericho no contest

Jericho had to wrestle both members of Dx. It was a little interesting. Jericho was definitely out numbered and was getting hit hard. The ref was knocked out at one point and out came The Big Show to help out. Triple H got a chair, and that only made the giant mad. The match never really finished, I assume it was thrown out. Jericho and the Big show were left standing with the belts and Ladders.

Sheamus and John Cena had a “debate”. If you saw it, you know what I’m talking about. This was the worst ending to raw I’ve ever seen. Seriously, the worst…it was like a contract signing, and it ended with Sheamus beating up Cena, knocking down Mark Cuban.

Mark Cuban didn’t back down from Sheamus, and he got pushed down! Seriously, he got punked out! Sheamus proceeded to knock Cuban through a table! Yep, basically speared him through a table! If you missed it…you missed it. That’s when the Dallas Mavericks players jumped the guard rail, and Sheamus decided to leave.

Monday Night Raw 11/23/09 Review

The show was supposed to start with Jesse Ventura, but instead it was Randy Orton that we got. Randy Orton started whining about how he needs to get a title shot against John Cena. Again? I hope this never happens.

Jesse the Body Ventura finally made his way own to the ring, and started to call out Orton. Jesse Ventura said that a revolution will take place, and that the next wwe title contender will get a title shot, the only catch? They can only be someone that has never been a world championship!

There will be qualifying matches through the night, the winners will got to a battle royal, and the winner will get a title shot.

Kofi Kingston defeated Dolph Ziggler

Ziggler and Kofi? I had some high hopes, all things considered. Ziggler started the aggressor, and Kofi had to battle back, but was up to the task. The match had some great spots, with dead on timing. Kofi hit his line up of moves, and Ziggler was step by step avoiding Kingston’s more prominent moves, until he made one quick mistake and Kingston finally made him pay.

Sheamus defeated Finlay

Now this is something, Finlay and Sheamus! Wow, this should be interesting. Finlay started this match by hitting Sheamus hard, as if he was going to win this one. But it was Sheamus that seemed to be in control and after hitting what looked like a Razor’s Edge, he pinned Finlay. Man, Finlay is on a major losing streak.

Post match, Sheamus beat up Finlay some more. Finlay needs back up, big time.

CM Punk gave a heel promo before his match, the usual.

John Cena defeated CM Punk

CM Punk and John Cena? Free? Man, WWE is giving the matches away tonight. It started with Punk in control and Cena powering through some of his moves. Punk fought Cena’s onslaught of power moves, and Cena reversed the initial GTS attempts. Eventually Punk was hit with the STF and it looked like Punk was going to tap, but managed to get out, and knock Cena hard with a huge boot to the head. Both men couldn’t one up each other enough for a win, and it was interesting to note that while I knew where this match was going, they didn’t make it a squash match. Cena took Punk to the top rope and hit a huge Attitude Adjustment, winning a hard fought match. Despite Punk’s loss, it was still a good match up.

R Truth, MVP, and Mark Henry defeated Chavo Guerrero, Jack Swagger, and Chris Masters

This was such a fast match, that I didn’t even have time to enjoy it. It was all the red team, and that’s about it. They won with ease.

Dx had a funny bit, and we find out that they are being sued by Hornswoggle.

Evan Bourne vs Primo (no contest)

Primo was supposed to be in this match, but he got beat up by Randy Orton on his way down to the ring.

I can’t believe that Primo is still employed.

Randy Orton defeated Evan Bourne

Randy Orton would be allowed to fight and see if he could get into the battle royal later on, but he would have to beat Evan Bourne. Man, if Orton wins, I’m going to be really upset folks…I can not ever get behind an Orton vs Cena match, ever again. Why does the WWE even employ Bourne? Bourne loses again, in not so dramatic fashion. Orton wins…I hate wwe right now.

Mickie James, Melina, and Kelly Kelly defeated Michelle McCool, Layla, and Jillian
Special guest time keeper: The Gobbly Gooker

This match sucked. Besides the outfits, there was nothing to see here. This match was so stupid…I hate the divas.

Inside the outfit, guess who? Maryse!

Dx defeated The Hart Dynasty

No surprise here. The match did seem to swing into the favor of The Hart Dynasty early on, but it was short lived. Micheals and Triple H couldn’t let anyone on the roster get glory tonight, since they did job for Cena at the ppv. So they win, in not so dramatic fashion.

Batista came out to ringside to cut a promo.

Kane came out and punked out Batista! That’s right, Kane Punked out Batista!

Legacy defeated Cryme Tyme

Wow, this was a lackluster match with little to no merit. I thought it was going to get good, but it turned out to be terrible.

Sheamus won a #1 Contender Battle Royal
Featuring commentary from Vince McMahon and Jesse The Body Ventura

The participants were all the winners from tonight.

This was a slow moving match up with not a whole lot of merit. The final three was interesting. Sheamus, Kofi, and Orton were the final three and Orton and Kofi were killing each other. Orton hit a nice neckbreaker on Sheamus, basically burying him and his "tough guy" persona.

Kofi threw out Randy Orton!

Sheamus threw out Kofi Kingston!

Yep...Sheamus is the #! contender to the WWE championship!

WTF! That's all I can say about this night in wrestling.

They had a contract signing between John Cena and Sheamus and Cena went through a table. The WWE Championship will get defended in a tables match!

WWE Monday Night Raw 10/12/09 Review

The show started with Chris Jericho talking about how he’s the team captain for his respective team coming to the new ppv in a few weeks. He was interrupted by the new guest host, which I didn’t really recognize, that’s for sure. She said that the show wasn’t going to begin with Jericho, but would start with Degeneration X. That prompted Triple H to rundown and start the show in ring, alone. Shawn Michaels was not at Raw, and Triple H was talking somewhat bad about the whole thing. Triple H called Shawn Michaels at home and talked to him about why he wasn’t there, nothing too great, he also plugged the new Dx book.

He was interrupted by none other than Chris Jericho and The Big Show, and was talked random crap. With Triple H’s mic skills he got Jericho and Big Show exchanging verbal jabs, and it wasn’t half bad, but splitting up this team would be the last straw for the Big Show, That’s for sure. Jericho got a huge disappointment when Big Show declared that he wanted to be on Team Raw instead of Team Smackdown, and was immediately rejected by team captain, Triple H. Unless, he wrestles and wins against none other than Chris Jericho! That’s right, Chris Jericho has to wrestle Big Show, and if Big Show wins, he’ll get a slot on Team Raw for Bragging Rights, live on ppv.

The Big Show defeated Chris Jericho via countout

This match wasn’t that great. It featured Big Show beating up Jericho with ease, and Jericho showing major frustration with the big man. Eventually the fight ended up outside with Jericho and Big Show fighting against the ten count, but it was Big Show that ended up coming out on top, barely beating the ten count before it was all said and done.

Jillian defeated Mickie James for the divas championship

This match seemed thrown together, consider that I don’t know why Jillian deserves a title shot, but oh well, that’s what happens. This match was interesting, it had a standard Mickie James feel to it, with the champion hitting Jillian with some hard closed fists, and really looking like she was going to win with ease, as is the norm for the divas champion. However, Jillian managed to turn this thing around and nearly knocked out Mickie James in the corner, then with her foot on the ropes, pinned Mickie James for the divas championship belt. This thing is odd, and well, I guess Mickie James is out.

Nancy O’Dell came out and asked Jillian to stop. She also started a ne match with Melina, whom is now on Raw.

Melina defeated Jillian for the divas championship

This match was started immediately after Jillian defeated Mickie James in a matter of minutes. This match took a little time to complete, and once again, the divas title changes hands. This match was terrible, just face it, it was one of the worst matches, yet the title changes hands, again, I guess this makes the divas title legit? I don’t know. This shouldn’t even be called a match.

Backstage Hornswoggle came out dressed up as none other than Shawn Michaels! It was hilarious. It was definitely a bright spot on Raw up to that point, which was just too hilarious, and maybe it was just me that found it that way.

Cody Rhodes defeated John Cena and Randy Orton

This match was an interesting one. John Cena and The Legacy had to fight in a triple threat match, and if Legacy won, they could be on the Raw team for Bragging Rights, and if John Cena won, the legacy idiots would not be in tag team match at bragging rights. All in all, this seemed like a stupid idea, but in terms of interest, I kind of was intrigued, if only for a moment in time. Cena started this match with a flurry of offense, hitting Dibiase with his signature set of three or four moves, before Cody Rhodes jumped into get things rolling for himself and his partner. The tag team duo was putting the boots to Cena, and since it was a triple threat match up, Cena was definitely getting beat up more this time than his usual stint in the ring each week. Rhodes and Dibiase started to fight each other after the break, creating an interesting dichotomy of sorts overall. It was short lived though, as they quickly went back to work on John Cena, trying to get into that match for bragging rights. I however, found it odd that the top heel tag team would want to wrestle for “bragging rights” and not the gold, but I guess it’s a new era of wrestling, so I shouldn’t look too much into this thing. Like a comic book hero, John Cena rose from a beat down and started to take control of this match, eventually hitting a set of moves including a back drop, and then a drop toe hold with the STF coming into play. However, amidst all that out came Randy Orton, distracting Cena, and that let Cody Rhodes score a pinfall victory on Dibiase, advancing himself to the big ppv coming up in two weeks or so. This match was lame. The guest host made a match for later, involving John Cena and Randy Orton…oh man, this show is heating up for sure…or it might just be my laptop…it’s getting old.

Jack Swagger defeated MVP

I was under the impression that the WWE had finished this feud off already. However, the feud was temporarily re-opened for the greater good of the WWE fans with MVP wrestling the All American American, Jack Swagger. The two exchanged move sets, with MVP hitting his overhead suplex, and Swagger getting some good flurries in, but it seemed that MVP was in full control here even hitting he famous, non-move, “Ballin!”. Swagger was able to get up shortly afterwards and hit the Gut Wrench Powerbomb and easily defeated MVP. That’s right, Swagger beats the falling star, MVP with somewhat of an easier time than seen in the past. MVP must be in the doghouse or something.

Kofi Kingston defeated Evan Bourne

I’m going to have to apologize since I’m not even following along with the teams that are being made on the show. However, this match was a qualifying match, as was the other match (the previous one). This match should’ve been four stars, somewhat like the match that Mysterio and Evan Bourne had several months back; so I had high hopes for this one to say the least. The match overall was good, showcasing both opponents quick wits and skill. Evan Bourne, for once, looked like a natural out there, instead of just being pummeled into oblivion like he usually is. Kofi managed to get some good shots in, with some moments that made you wonder why the WWE doesn’t have a cruiserweight division any longer. Kofi’s Thunder in Paradise while Bourne jumped off the second rope was the most impressive thing I’ve seen in wrestling in a long time. Wow, this was good stuff, I wish all matches, regardless of spot fests, were this good and entertaining. I’m sorry, I like this fast paced stuff…it’s my lucha libre roots, I suppose.

Kelly Kelly, Gail Kim, and Maria Menounos defeated Beth Phoenix, Alicia Fox, and Eva Mendes

I admit, I hate when newcomers come into the wwe and automatically get a free ride. I also seemed to remember that there was already two other women’s matches tonight on Raw…if you could call them that. This match started out with the newcomer showing that she knows the basics of wrestling, you know, hip tosses, pinfalls, and just random easy steps. This proved to be her downfall, at lest initially as Beth Phoenix came into the match, things were looking interesting. Well, interesting for those that don’t like Beth Phoenix, as she got punked immediately and then got some good shots in on Kelly Kelly to vent her frustration. Kelly Kelly got the pinfall, and this match was faster than it should’ve been, but whatever…I won’t complain.

The Miz cut a standard heel champion promo, and it seemed like his part was just tacked on for no apparent reason.

The Legacy defeated Randy Orton & John Cena

The WWE keeps making John Cena look like the third coming of Hulk Hogan. He’s been battling handicap matches and making himself get over with ease. I’m hoping that Cena can pull a heel turn instead of this super hero motif that the wwe keeps shoving down our throats. This match was interesting to start, with Legacy picking and choosing their best shots against the former champion. Randy Orton stood on the apron for the majority of this match up. While this match was supposed to be a tag team affair, it seemed more reminiscent to a handicap match with the heels getting over most of the match up. Cena was basically floored for a lo of this mach up, easily looking like a mid 80’s wrestler, locked into a head lock for a good four to five minutes of the match, killing me and most of you other fans softly with boredom. Of course, John Cena would muscle out and Cena hit a blind tag! That’s right, Cena tagged in Orton, and now he had to face The Legacy! I didn’t know how this was going to go, but it turned out that Orton and Rhodes alongside Dibiase were playing close calls with cradles and near falls, creating a rift between the three heels. Orton got a forced tag and Cena went back to work with shoulder tackles, and his normal set ups, including the famous Five Knuckle Shuffle! Orton got a blind tag though, while Cena went for the Attitude Adjustment, Orton went to work on Cena, which let Dibiase run in and roll up Orton for a quick three count! Ted Dibiase pins Randy Orton! That’s right, Orton gets pinned by Dibiase and this match is all over.

John Cena got the last ride with the Attitude Adjustment!

John Cena will wrestle Triple H next week on Raw. Snoop Dogg will host the show, and this thing is all over.

Overall the night was ok, Raw wasn’t jaw dropping, but it’s nice to be back in full review mode. Thanks to everyone that reads, writes, comments, and actually buys anything from the amazon links. I still have no job, so please support if you can. Maybe someday I can get a full dot com for this thing, but until then, I’ll keep on trucking. I’ll be back for the ECW review, sooner than later, then TNA as well as you know…Smackdown! Oh yeah!

WWE Monday Night Raw 8/10/09 Review

The show is in Calgary, Bret Hart country! The crowd usually cheers the heels, but not tonight, they were all Cena. Orton started the show ranting and raving, until John Cena showed up and started yelling at Orton, telling him he sucks etc. Things were about to jump off…then out came the Tag Champs.

The crowd blew up for Jericho, easily the biggest pop heard on television, easily.

Gail Kim defeated Kelly, Beth Phoenix, and Alicia Fox

The divas had a four way match and overall it wasn’t half bad. The match had some heavy moves, specifically from Beth Phoenix and Gail Kim. In fact, those were the only two wrestlers that actually can turn on the wrestling juice, so to speak. I admit, I’m not fan, but Kim and Phoenix did put on some good points and made this match, albeit short, passable. I liked it, but only because it didn’t suck as bad as last week’s diva match.

Sergeant Slaughter came out to make fun of Canadians, and heel it up, I guess. I didn’t care, I was too busy writing a comment on newser about how Obama isn’t Hitler…yeah, I’m tired, I don’t mind the Joker Socialism thing, that’s clever, but for a major news source to post an article about him being Hitler? Come on! I didn’t vote for him, but whatever.

Jack Swagger defeated Evan Bourne

We get a rematch, I don’t know why, Swagger already squashed at one point and yes Bourne has beaten Swagger, but I for one didn’t want to really watch this. Evan Bourne had a few moments, he was flying high trying to get things done, but it was Swagger who was on point tonight, with some major pain for Evan Bourne including dropping him with his finisher. Swagger once again proves that he can be the next big thing, if he can overcome that lisp, that’s all I’m saying.

Triple H was in Texas trying to find Shawn Michaels. He found Shawn Michaels flipping burgers at a diner. Yep.

Canadian Kid defeated Eugene

Eugene came out and defeated some random jobber in a Canadian mask, it was terrible; the match was a contract on a pole match, sadly. Eugene managed to put up a good fight, but he didn’t grab the contract, it was Calgary Kid that got the contract from the pole!

Calgary Kid then pulled his mask off to reveal that it was none other than THE MIZ!

The Miz is back in another WWE Loophole, whatever.

The Big Show defeated Randy Orton via countout

The Big Show and Randy Orton put on a match, mainly Big Show was pummeling Randy Orton, with Orton cowering on the bottom rope trying to make it through this match without having to fight Big Show one on one. It was Big Show that was looking like the champion in this one, confident and easily winning this match. At one point Orton was trying to get counted out, and I thought for sure he’d run back to the ring, but nope, he let himself get counted out and The Big Show wins…Orton runs away like a chump.

MVP The Masterpiece defeated Chris Masters

This match wasn’t that great, but it did allow Chris Masters to show that he’s back on his game. However, I did notice he’s still slow, painfully slow at times, and relying heavily on a rest holds. MVP was just trying to hold onto this match, without getting too worn out, and managed a nice overhead suplex with release, and bounced his way through to a comeback from the devastating rest holds of Masters. MVP hit the Playmaker and this thing was all over. Masters is done, in my book, he sucks and is slow; MVP hitting the Playmaker was the best thing to happen in this match.

Post match Chris Masters hit the Masterlock while Swagger yelled at MVP.

Triple H and Shawn Michaels have a great skit mid way through with Triple H joining Shawn flipping burgers. Then amidst getting yelled at by his Boss at work, Shawn superkicks his boss! YES! Then he superkicks a little girl! I wish I could do that at my job…I hate my job…I thought this site would pay some bills…it hasn’t…I’m broke…man I wish I had a friend like Triple H to get scripted into my life and get me a lot of money…alas…it’s not to be.

Sgt Slaughter came out and then came on the Bret Hart music, the arena went nuts, I went nuts, I read earlier that Hart might be in Calgary tonight, and NOPE it was Duggan that came out. I got swerved…lame.

Legacy defeated Mark Henry and Hornswoggle

Legacy had a hard time with Mark Henry, as the big man was in full control of this match up. However, the little guy kept wanting into the match, but he missed the splash and Dibiase hit his DreamStreet finisher on Hornswoggle, winning the match. It was sad.

Next week’s GM is going to be Freddie Prinze Jr…..yep.

John Cena vs Chris Jericho No Contest

Chris Jericho was supposed to be the fan favorite here, and for the most part he was. This match was all Jericho, hitting most of his moves, getting out of the way in time, and making quick and easy work of John Cena’s comebacks. I wish all wrestlers had the timing of Jericho, it would make for a far better wrestling experience, but just like Highlander, there can only be one! Jericho had the Walls of Jericho in, but Cena reversed it, and that’s when Orton ran down and to distract Jericho, the bell range signaling the match is over, and Jericho hit the Codebreaker. Too little too late, and Jericho attacked Orton, only to get thrown out of the ring!

Big Show ran down and landed a Chokeslam on Orton!

Big show & Chris Jericho vs John Cena & Randy Orton will be next week’s featured match.

The end of the night was met with mixed emotions by me, Orton hit the RKO at the exact same time John Cena was hitting the Attitude Adjustment! Shades of the Diamond Cutter + Fireman’s Carry from Bam Bam Bigelow and DDP from their WCW title run was heard around the room!

WWE Monday Night Raw 8/3/09 Review

The show started off with Jeremy Piven being called to the ring. He brought in the Asian guy from The Hangover, and that was about it. The two were just on the mic, trying to get the crowd into the night. The Miz came out and tried to get into Piven’s face, and he just worked the crowd against Miz. The Miz called out John Cena, Cena came down, the Asian dude (The Doctor) was going nuts, the crowd was going nuts, and they just kept pimping out the crap of “The Goods”. Piven sets up John Cena vs The Miz in a lumber jack match. The match got more stipulations, including a loser leaves Raw clause. Well, just The Miz.

Jack Swagger defeated Evan Bourne

Evan Bourne took on Jack Swagger in this match, and there was a distinct size advantage for Jack Swagger. This was a complete thrashing of Evan Bourne, he took control of the match early, didn’t let up and pummeled Evan Bourne, delivered his Gut Wrench powerbomb and defeated Evan Bourne with ease. MVP came out for the save, but it was too late.

Mickie James & Gail Kim defeated Beth Phoenix & Jillian

Here you have your standard WWE Divas match, with one exception, Beth Phoenix is gaining a little weight. The majority of the Match Beth Phoenix was working like she would be fired if she didn’t look dominant, and she really put the boots to her opponents. She’s got game, and she showed it off by pinning Gail Kim, and yet again I wonder why Gail Kim even came back to the WWE, all she’s been doing is getting worked and pinned by all the divas. The Beth Bomb was nice, Kim hasn’t done anything good in WWE since arriving, sadly.

Legacy defeated Triple H

There’s no way Triple H should win this match. It’s a handicap match from an experienced tag team. I hate when the good guy can trump tag teams in handicap matches, it makes the team look so much weaker. So what happened here? I’m not surprised, Triple H took a beating for a short while, but then came back like he was Thor, and we see why everyone hates Triple H right now. The young guys looked like they were on a road to losing again to Triple H, even after Ted Dibiase hit Dreamstreet. Cody was waiting for Triple H to get up, and hit Crossroads, and with a major surprise to me, WON! That’s right, Triple H loses! FINALLY! I have to eat my words, Triple H DID NOT beat Legacy, haha, FINALLY! Legacy defeats Triple H, I kid you not!

Post match, Triple H started crying about how he used to be good at gang war fare. He said he was going to start up a new faction. He even made fun of Ric Flair and Batista, which were cheap shots.

Carlito defeated Primo

The WWE loves to split up tag teams, they also love putting relatives, or former partners in matches against each other. So once again, we get to see a former tag team that split, face each other out of “jealousy”. I get so tired of this cycle of tag teams in the WWE, and there’s nothing we can do about it. This match, by all means, was ok, with Primo just as fast as Carlito, and the two exchanging moves, with Carlito looking to be ahead in the early goings of the match up. He would eventually get the upper hand completely, hitting the Back Stabber and pinning Primo, winning this match up, and hopefully ending this feud of sorts.

Mark Henry defeated Chavo Guerrero

Once again, the WWE squashes Chavo Guerero. Forget his legacy, he sucks, at least that’s what the WWE must think. Mark Henry basically obliterated Chavo, and afterwards Hornswoggle came in and landed a top rope splash.

Even weirder, Mark Henry and Hornswoggle danced in ring, and the crowd was cheering. I am not sure why Chavo doesn’t just quit, he’s not even relevant anymore. Mark Henry, on the other hand, is getting a full face push. I don’t hate the guy, but eh, whatever, Henry is what he is, the World’s Strongest Man.

Kofi Kingston defeated The Big Show by Disqualification

Kofi had some good offense early on, bullying Kofi Kingston. He was hitting hard, but it wasn’t going to happen as Big Show turned things around and wouldn’t stop hitting Kofi. This led to the disqualification, and another throwaway match up. There wasn’t much more to this match up.

Backstage Triple H was trying to call, what I assume was Shawn Michaels, but it wasn’t happening. It was so weird.

John Cena defeated The Miz in a lumber jack match

This match was basically, John Cena and The Miz, with every heel on the outside. Including Piven, serving as a Lumberjack. The Miz was hitting every move he had in his arsenal, and was definitely looking like he was poised to take this match, so that he wouldn’t lose his spot on Raw. Cena eventually got thrown to the outside and was just getting pummeled by the lumberjacks, none of which were any of his allies. He ws just being taken advantage of, and as the match continued it was John Cena that got the pin, and The Miz is gone!

Post match, things got really exciting, Jeremy Piven climbed the top rope and went for a Cross Body Block on John Cena! Cena caught him, and was used as a battering ram, Dr Ken then hit Cena with his cane, and it was hilarious. Cena then threw Doctor Ken onto a bunch of guys, and it was all over.

Not a great show, not the worst show I've seen.

Next week, SGT. Slaughter is going to be the guest Host!

Night of Champions! Here we go!

Chris Jericho & The Big Show defeated Legacy in a the Unified WWE Championship Match

I was hoping that Jericho would pick an all new partner, someone not already on raw and smackdown, but nope, he picked none other than The Big Show! The Big Show came down and Legacy looked crazed.

Jericho was on the receiving end of getting worked over by Legacy, after The Big Show tagged from a dominant stance against the youngsters. Jericho was definitely taking most of the offense from Legacy, but he would get some shots in, if only for a moment in time, only to have the young ones counter and counter. Jericho kept going for the walls and eventually got them in, Cody Rhodes held at bay for a moment by Big Show, but it wasn’t enough to make Dibiase Tap out. This match had the crowd fully behind Chris Jericho in this match, and it seemed like he was a face all along. Big Show got a good tag in, and went to work, hit a monstrous spear on Dibiase and I thought this one was done. It was not to be had though, Legacy got the big man down to his knees, but with the ref distracted out came Jericho for a great Codebreaker, and Big Show got his bearings and hooked Dibiase in one heck of a submission hold, for the win! Big Show and Jericho are now the “hot shot” tag team. I hate when they do this…but oh well, better than nothing eh? Jericho & Show retain.

CM Punk came out on the mic and talked about how Hardy is ok to cheer for, and he doesn’t blame anyone, but the parents. He said that only single parent situation families like Jeff Hardy! So Lame. Punk was once again fighting to get the heel turn, I can’t hate him, hopefully it’s a passing phase.

Christian defeated Tommy Dreamer in the ECW Title Match

This match had Tommy Dreamer trying really hard to work as fast as Christian can think. Christian was way ahead of Dreamer’s pursuit, and even Dreamers counters seemed half speed, with Christian deliberately slowing down for Dreamer to catch up with his flurry of young exuberance. Dreamer was taking some heavy shots too, it looked painful at times, proving yet again that Dreamer’s not going to last long with this type of competition. However, Christian hasn’t been getting the same kind of push he got when he first came back to WWE, so maybe Dreamer is getting a loyal push. The Sky High powerbomb from dreamer on Christian was really looking terrible. Christian definitely worked his butt off to get this match going well, Tom Dreamer slapped on a Texas Cloverleaf late in this match, which was great. That didn’t put away Christian, but it was nice to see a cloverleaf after so long. (Dean Malenko was famous for that submission maneuver) Christian hit the Killswitch and it was over…Christian gets the ECW title with ease, if you ask me. Dreamer needs to just retire.

Kofi Kingston defeated Jack Swagger, Carlito, The Miz, Primo, and MVP in the U.S. Title Match

The match was a six pack scramble, where any pinfall or submission would win the title. The match was filled with spots, just back to back spots, with lots of stuff going on, and too frantic for the cameras to follow. While the match did have some good moments, it felt too much like a cluster. Kofi blocked Carlito’s back elbow which was awesome, and Jack Swagger teamed with the Miz for a second or two to take on Primo, which was definitely a good watch. Primo looked great in there, and he is a lot more agile than Carlito, and it could be due to his size. Carlito took a sick dive off the top rope to the outside. He did a front flip, MVP didn’t catch him all the way, and just landed with a thud…ouch. Best spot was The Miz hitting MVP with his finisher while MVP hit his finisher at the same time on Swagger! Carlito hit a backstabber on Primo, only to get knocked out with Trouble in Paradise and Kofi Kingston retains! This match started like a cluster, but it ended up being quite entertaining, with Kofi winning after the melee’s were over.

Michelle McCool defeated Melina in the WWE’s Women title match

Michelle McCool can hit hard, I’ve seen her do it. Melina, I haven’t do much but look pretty and stretch here and there. Outside of Mick Foley, I don’t know who Melina’s fans are, I am not one of them. McCool hit a ddt on the guard rail, which was a nice move, considering how much balance had to be placed to hit that correctly. Melina had some good offense, hitting some moves focusing on McCool’s back, and continuing to scream like a tennis player. Melina botched a spinning heel kick, barely getting off the ground, but still kept this match going. McCool’s belly to belly whipped Melina’s spine around in one of the best executed moves I’ve seen in a long time. McCool used all of her weight to tie up Melina, and win this match relatively easily with simply her weight over Melinas legs.

Randy Orton defeated Triple H, and John Cena in the WWE Title Match

This match opened up with Cena and Triple H teaming up to beat up Orton at every moment and chance they could. However, on accidental shoulder tackle and this thing was every man for themselves. Orton took care of Cena, throwing him through the ropes into the ring post, and then focusing on grounding Triple H. He had this thing in a good place, working over Triple H’s capacity to stand, with a lot of rest holds to cut the ring in half. Orton got his though, getting thrown out of this match with Cena and Triple H left to go at it, giving each other some heavy artillery, with the crowd firmly behind each of them, after every blow! This wouldn’t last too long with Orton taking control after a lengthy pause on the outside. The match continued to the announcers tables, where Triple H was setting a pedigree, but Cena stopped it, tossing Orton into the crowd! Triple H then went for the Pedigree on Cena, only to get trapped into the STF! Cena got the better of the deal outside, inside he countered the RKO throwing Randy Orton off him and nearly landing his shoulder. Cena then set up Orton for a Super Plex, but Triple H stopped it, Cena eventually set up Triple H into the STF and Orton was stranded on the ropes, this thing looked like it was all over, even though Triple H was not willing to tap, Orton went for a punt, missing, and managed to get back into this thing once again taking control. Triple knocked out, Cena winded, and Orton stalking, this match started to look like an instant classic.

Triple H had the sharpshooter on Orton, Cena had the STF all at the same time and Orton was tapping. However, the referee wasn’t sure who won, then out came legacy! Rhodes took a major hit, and Randy Orton pounced, retaining his title in the process! That’s right, Orton wins again with a killer instinct and referee having problems.

Mickie James defeated Maryse in the wwe divas title match

The Divas title was on the line in this match, and Maryse was the one that was slowing down this match up. She’s got a few moves, but not really the wrestler that Mickie James is. I was thinking this of course right before Maryse nearly knocked out Mickie with a kick square to the face. Maryse introduced some spray into the match but Mickie James got a hold of it, and was ready to use it but the ref took it away from her. The battle ended up going to the floor and the two brawled it out. Mickie James hit a ddt and won the match, with very little crowd reaction…so that was that. This match was worse than the match earlier on.

Rey Mysterio defeated Dolph Ziggler in the Intercontinental Championship Match

Ziggler has improved night and day since I first saw him here in Seattle. He was fast, he was working Mysterio like a true technical heel. Shades of Rick Martel and Lex Luger were seen in this match up, with Ziggler not allowing Mysterio to string together a set of moves like he normally does. Ziggler slowed down the tempo, hit big moves, got out of the way when necessary, and was really pushing his weight around in this match up. Mysterio would eventually get his bearings, with quick motion kicks, and clever reversals, but it was still Ziggler that had so many moments in this match to prove that he wasn’t just a flash in the pan new comer. Ziggler’s perfect timed dropkick while Mysterio was coming off the top rope was very impressive, shades of Brian Pillman was felt in the timing of that amazing move. I kid you not, Ziggler’s game improved 100 percent in this match, he just got it, and Mysterio was perfect too, countering momentum to overcome his smaller stature against the larger opponent. This match easily was stealing the show! Ziggler hit a TOP ROPE Gut Buster from the top rope! Seriously, top rope GUT BUSTER on Mysterio! Not since Dean Malenko defeated Brad Armstrong with that move, have I seen such a great move with perfect execution! Ziggler was godlike in his move, but it was to no avail! Mysterio turned it around last minute, hit the 619 and won this match. ZIGGLER stole the show, ZIGGLER ZIGGLER ZIGGLER! This match made the night, Ziggler is the real deal here, I kid you not. He hit some impressive shots, I can’t believe this dude was in the spirit squad at one point, dang, Mysterio and Ziggler 3 star match, wow, I was floored with that last set. Great match, I don’t care what anyone says. The Top Rope Gutbuster…wow!

Jeff Hardy defeated C.M. Punk in the World Heavyweight Championship Match

Punk came out first, to get the heel reaction. Punk and Hardy flew through the beginning of the match, with Punk getting over mostly on his power moves, Hardy settling for a good part of the match before getting his bearings and running through some quick offense. Punk and Hardy each missed some key outside moves, high risk, and paid for them with 9 counts and close calls in ring. Hardy hit a nice top rope split leg face plant on Punk, but couldn’t pin the straightedge superstar. Punk and Hardy exchanged strikes, and were definitely trying to get a strangle hold on the other, with neither one looking more dominant than the other. Hardy of course was getting his fast hits in, forcing Punk to try and reverse some of them, not really doing as well as Jericho did on Friday, but he was managing to push Hardy off the ropes, off the apron, and get some breathing room whenever possible. Hardy countered the running Bulldog to hit the Whisper in the Wind, which was a sweet reversal, and Punk wasn’t looking like he could hold on to this one. Punk got a second wind but it was short lived, Hardy went for the Swanton Bomb but Punk put his knees up! I thought it was over, I thought this match was done, but nope, Hardy barely kicked out of a 2 count. Hardy missed with the Twist of Fate, then the GTS hit him square in the face! Hardy kicked out, and Punk was completely frustrated here, he had no recourse but to go outside and grab his belt and start walking away. Punk was literally walking away, not being able to beat Hardy he was giving up. Hardy gave chase, stopping Punk from leaving, and running him back to the Ring! The Twist of Fate Hit then Hardy hit the Swanton Bomb and won clean! Punk lost, and we have another shot with Hardy as champ! The crowd went nuts…JR called him the High Risk Junkie…lame.

Punk lost clean.

Great ppv, I think Ziggler stole the show, I loved that, that’s why I loved this ppv. I’m sorry, if you don’t agree, too bad, Ziggler showed up and stole the show with Mysterio. That gut buster…dang…dang!

WWE Monday Night Raw 7/20/09 Review

John Cena opened the show, and rambled. The most important thing I got form him was that the WWE championship match at Night of Champions was the same Main Event from Wrestlemania a few years back! What the hell? Shut up Cena! I am having trouble with this show already. Orton came out at some point…geez, a long night indeed.

Triple H claims he DIDN’T care if he won the title! Yeah Right! YEAH RIGHT! I almost fell out of my chair. Oh yeah, he came out to the party. The three started to random talk and it was boring.

Backstage Sanitno and ZZ Top had some great comedic stuff, with Santino getting a beard and a guitar. Sure it wasn’t perfect, but it had something funny. Nevermind, this was stupid, I’m tired.

Kofi Kingston, MVP, and Primo defeated Jack Swagger, Carlito, and The Big Show

Here we go, your standard six man tag. There were rushed spots, to slow down moments from The Big Show, giving the match a false sense of timing. This match had a lot of slow moments, but the smaller guys made this exciting, especially towards the end with the faces going over with some sweet reversals, including a nice Huricanrana/Head Scissors over the top rope from Kofi on big show. Primo pinned Carlito, after a nice head butt off the top rope.

Post match Big Show beat up everyone, and then stood there like a chump. These men will face each other in a US Title Six Pack challenge this weekend.

Back with ZZ Top, Chris Jericho was talking to the guys and wanted to jam. They set up Jericho in a match, it was hilarious….hilariously awkward.

Jerry Lawler defeated The Brian Kendrick

Lawler got into the ring and was prepared to wrestle The Brian Kendrick. Lawler was getting mauled early on, seriously just getting mauled. King got back into it, countered The Kendrick, then hit his second rope fist to the face and won! The Brian Kendrick was buried by Jerry Lawler, and that was the end of that.

Mark Henry defeated Chris Jericho via disqualification

Jericho was trying to fight Mark Henry, which to me, made Jericho look weak. He wasn’t getting as much offense to hit as hard as some of Henry’s other recent opponents, mainly Evan Bourne. However, Jericho is a technician not necessarily a high flyer. Henry wasn’t going down often, and Jericho was obviously getting frustrated that he couldn’t chop down the big man down. Jericho couldn’t turn Henry over into the Walls of Jericho, Henry immediately throwing him out with superior leg strength.

Jericho then, out of desperation, hit Henry with a chair, and got dq’d and he kept fighting Henry. Henry got the last laugh with a sick World’s Strongest Slam, and you know what? The crowd started to cheer, but I heard that a few weeks back his cheers are being piped in and edited. I don’t know….I’m too tired for this.

Hornswoggle defeated Chavo Guerrero in a sharp dressed man match

Sure it’s comedic, sure some of the fans like it. However, I’m sick of seeing Chavo Guerrero get buried in the WWE. What did he ever do to deserve this? I don’t know, this is stupid. I won’t even dignify it with more than that.

Worst match in the history of Raw…so stupid!

Santino ran off ZZ Top by stripping to “She Got Legs” so stupid. Raw is like a punch in the face.

What the hell? Next week SHAQ is in charge! What the heck? What the! WHYYYYY? I’m so tired of this BS, someone hire me to write for WWE, I’d stand up, I’d get fired for the sake of it…I don’t know, I’m tired.

Rosa Mendes & Alicia Fox defeated Kellly Kelly and Gail Kim

This match had all your standards, the divas botching it, trying too hard. I wonder if someone in the divas camp is going to get fired soon. There were a few bright moments, Kelly seems to be a little bit better than usual, but I’m not sure if that necessiarly means a whole lot. Overall, I didn’t really like it, and it was a good thing it wasn’t too long of a match, it ended abruptly as all “divas” matches do on wwe television.

Triple H & John Cena defeated Orton & Legacy

This match was weird, it seemed like it was painfully obvious that the bad guys (Legacy) weren’t going to win. I remember when stables were good, like the Four Horsemen, and you had to really fight to beat those guys. This match started off with Cena and Orton cleaning house with ease, it was another cookie cutter match beginning. The match, of course, turned around and for once Legacy looked like a well oiled machine. Why they can’t do that from the on set is beyond me. The Brain Busters used to be able to do that, I’m just saying. Triple H was getting worked for a good portion of the match, but was able to get a hot tag to John Cena and this thing fell off the rails and Cena rolled up Orton out of the blue. It seemed like a forced, surprise ending because time was running out, and it was ludicrous. I hated this raw.

Raw sucked, but you know what? I understand. What can ya do? Next week SHAQ as GM!

WWE Monday Night Raw 6/15/09 Review

This show was live from Charlotte, NC and it was the three hour special. It started with a recap of the finale from last week’s Raw.

Chris Jericho defeated Rey Mysterio

This match started fast and furious with Rey Mysterio throwing himself at Jericho. A smart move to get the crowd involved, but it was Jericho who seemed like the veteran here. He took the onslaught, only to get Mysterio to make a mistake and land on his head on the outside, and Jericho looked like an outstanding champion! This match had a lot of near falls, with each man getting some nice pinning combinations. The shoulders squarely pinned, things were looking quite nice, but neither one could get more leverage than the others. After a picture perfect Moonsault from the middle rope, Jericho seemed to be on his way to losing this one! However, a quick twist of the mask and the Codebreaker later, Chris Jericho pinned Rey Mysterio clean in a 3 star match up! This was one hell of a match folks, if you missed this one, you really missed it; Chris Jericho proves yet again that he’s the best wrestler in the WWE right now, and although Mysterio had some great moments, it was Jericho that shined in the end.

Vince McMahon was backstage and he was ready to announce a new Raw General manager, and it was:

No one. Vince McMahon claims he sold WWE Raw. He said that after the world title match, that he would be selling Monday Night Raw to? We’d have to wait.

Tommy Dreamer defeated Christian

I haven’t seen Tommy Dreamer put on a good match since he was fighting Raven in ECW. This match was no different either. This was a very short match with very little going on, until a fast roll up and Tommy Dreamer winning with a school boy roll up. What the heck? What a terrible match. This match was a poor excuse for an ECW title match.

Randy Orton defeated John Cena ,The Big Show, and Triple H in the WWE Championship Match

This match started and continued with all competitors fighting in ring at the same time. Each one fighting each other, in different corners, in a crazy Texas Tornado style match up. The most dominant man in this match up was definitely The Big Show with huge shots against Cena, Orton and even a nice spear on Triple H! The Big Show just looked like he was getting ready to redeem his piece of crap title reign, where The Big Boss Man punked him out at his own fathers grave. Remember that? Lame. Orton missing the RKO was impressive, as Big Show flung him away! However, Triple H seemed like he would win with a Pedigree on Show, then he hit an Attitude Adjustment on Triple H, but couldn’t capitalize at all. Cena then picked up Big Show and hit a huge Attitude Adjustment on Big Show, then Randy Orton ran in and hit the RKO for a huge win and the title! This melee of an ending was really just frenetic, and slapped together, but it was effective as Randy Orton won the belt in this main event caliber match up.

So who owns Raw now?

Donald Trump! That’s right, Donal Trump now owns WWE Monday Night Raw! Weird huh? This is odd, seriously, odd. Donald Trump owns WWE Monday Night Raw? I’m not sure if this is true…I don’t know, seems really odd.

The first announcement is that WWE Monday Night Raw will be broadcasting commercial free next week!

Mickie James defeated Rosa Mendes

This match was a bit odd. Rosa is still green, and Mickie James doesn’t have much of a character outside of being a more accomplished wrestler. Maryse being a champion sucks, cause she can’t wrestle, so this whole match just seemed amateur at best. Mickie James won this match with somewhat an easy finish, and once again she proves she’s better than the other wrestlers on the roster.

The Miz beat up Goldust and Hornswoggle for apparently no reason. It was boring.

CM Punk defeated Edge and Jeff Hardy in the World Heavyweight Championship Match

This was a triple threat match and the fans were firmly behind Jeff Hardy, meanwhile I was firmly behind C.M Punk. The match had a back and forth movement to it, not one person had a clear advantage going into this match up, and it was as though the title was definitely up for grabs and anyone could have a shot at winning this thing. After a while it seemed as though Hardy was going to win, but the ever cunning Edge had the open floor to get the win with a sweet spear, but Punk reversed it into a powerslam! All three men were exchanging finishers, and with one of the best moves ever, Edge speared Hardy while Punk leaped over a running Edge! The timing on this set up was amazing, and if you missed it, you really missed it. If this moment wasn’t timed right, things would be terrible! Punk caught a knee full of the steel steps on the outside, and quite possibly might have been legit injured! Edge and Hardy were left in ring fighting it out and I wasn’t sure where things were headed. Punk managed to get back into the match, and got a beating from Hardy hitting Punk in the knee that appeared to be injured. A twist of fate set up a swanton bomb, and this thing looked like it was over! He hit Edge square but alas, Punk once again was there to protect his belt, rolled back into the ring and pinned Edge to win the match and retain his title! What a match up! Geez, WWE was given us ppv caliber match ups on tv, I don’t know why, but they were doing great with these bigger matches.

The Hart Dynasty vs The Colons no Contest

The Colons had their hands full against the Hart Dynasty. However, nothing could really happen as Legacy jumped into the ring and stomped out The Colons, the match being thrown out.

Triple H Won a ten man over the top rope battle royal

The participants were: MVP, Matt Hardy, Kofi Kingston, The Big Show, Cody Rhodes, Ted Dibiase, The Miz, Triple H , John Cena, William Regal

Big Show, since he was the biggest, was manhandling the majority of participants. However, he wasn’t throwing them over the top rope, he was just exerting his weight and power. I spoke too soon, because Big Show eliminated Matt Hardy and MVP back to back! The rest of the guys teamed up to get Big Show over the top rope, and they succeeded, eliminating Big Show! After a commercial break it looked as though Triple H would be holding down the roster, and my prediction was therefore adequately named Triple H. This match was taking way too long, with John Cena and Triple H looking like the strongest contenders in the match up.

The final four in this match up was Legacy, John Cena and Triple H! John Cena was cleaning house while Triple H was laying in the corner catching his breath. Cena, easily took care of Legacy single handed, eliminating Dibiase quickly and then throwing Cody Rhodes…only to get an assist from Triple H.

John Cena and Triple H fought each other but a Pedigree was hit first, Legacy ran back in and stomped out Triple H. They were obviously upset because he was trying to hold down the roster.

On the outside, The Miz was still in the match up and slithered his way into the match! However, he ran right over the top rope and while Cena wasn’t looking, he threw him over the top rope!

Triple H once again holds down the whole roster by winning this match and getting a shot at Randy Orton at The Bash in a couple of weeks.

Donald Trump came on screen and said that next week Triple H vs Randy Orton for the title will be on Raw! The match will be a Last Man Standing Match!

WWE Monday Night Raw 05/18/09 Review

It’s good to be back home, and I’m sure all 3 of you readers missed a few reviews that were missed. I noticed that the site made no money while I was gone, and that’s fine, but I don’t know if I can get a TNA ppv this month as I’m broke now.

Randy Orton opened up the show. He started talking trash as usual….then who came out but the Retired Ric Flair. So much for that final send off, huh? I guess he’s back somehow. Flair announces that Orton’s next title defense will come inside a Steel Cage, so that he can’t get disqualified? Oh it’s one of those? The ones where the ref isn’t inside? Because when’s the last time we saw that happen?

Orton delivered one of the worst shots I’ve ever to Flair’s face. It was so ill-timed. Batista ran down after Legacy was starting to come down the stage, but the numbers game once again helped Orton and his crew of misfits gain control. John Cena came down for the save and the ring was cleared! This of course will lead to a tag match…I hate tag matches that don’t involve two “tag teams” alone. But such is life sometimes, huh?

Kelly Kelly won The Divas Battle Royal

Alright, the divas were piled into a Divas Battle Royal. I didn’t want to see any of this, I don’t like the divas at all, it’s a big tease at this point with little to no wrestling prowess at all. Kelly Kelly’s elimination of Beth Phoenix might cause her to start a feud of sorts. Maryse sprayed Mickie James in the face with some perfume or something, and Kelly Kelly wins this match up! Whatever….I don’t care. “Holla…Holla….” Man that music sucks.

Santino defeated Chavo Guerrero

How do you make Chavo look like a good wrestler, or make it seem like he’s still a relevant superstar for the wwe? Have him wrestle Santino, in a hilarious match where he stomps out Santino at every move. Then again, Santino randomly “hulked” up, I kid you not, that being said, Santino was the accidental technical wrestler, ducking and diving his way to a win! So my plot to call out WWE conspiracies to make Chavo good again…backfired because Santino stole one here.

Chavo then got on the mic and said that Santina would have to defend her Wrestlemania diva’s title or whatever against Vickie later tonight. I dreaded hearing this lame announcement…lame.

The Colons defeated Goldust & The Brian Kendrick

Once again, Goldust is thrown into an unlikely tag team partnership. Remember, previously, Goldust was great with the likes of Booker T! Remember that? He also had short lived partnership with The Blue Meanie, and others. Goldust is great as a comedy act and it’s interesting to see him in this match with Brian Kendrick, but I wasn’t sure if this thing was going to carry over into something more, especially when The Colons’ were delivering like the best tag team in the world! The two are amazing in ring together, and I hope that the WWE doesn’t split them into a “brother vs brother” feud. Kendrick lost this one and he’s on a major losing streak. He then yelled at Goldust and provoked him to fight him. I hope Goldust has a third or fourth coming here, Dustin should just be glad that he has a job right now.

Hornswoggle came into the ring and fought Kendrick with the help of Goldust, forming a very unlikely partnership. Why not? Goldy and Horny? I’m tired.

The Miz came down to ringside and talked about how he beat Cena. He was also dressed like Cena, making for a hilarious moment in time. The King came into the ring and started calling out wrestlers to compare The Miz’s victory over John Cena to logic. It was hilarious, and a part of me really wanted Batista to come out at King’s call and beat him up, it would’ve been awesome.

The Big Show came down to ring side and beat up The Miz, which was interesting…in that The Big Show just killed The Miz.

MVP defeated Matt Hardy

MVP is really BALLIN! He’s got me saying that at random locations, signals and all! I was in the sports section at the Supermarket, and I was “BALLIN” with anything ball shaped! It was fun. I can’t really avoid it, it’s impulsive; try it, it makes you feel better. MVP and Hardy are familiar opponents and they put on a good match up, with Hardy pretending that his arm was really broken, and after the random spots, the inevitable happened, MVP pinned Matt Hardy and it was all over. MVP wins again, proving that he’s still BALLIN!

Santino’s backstage antics were great. But the lead in was Chavo on the floor with Vickie on a chair…it looked really awkward. I don’t want to say incest…but my wheels aer turning.

Vickie Guerrero defeated Santina in a Miss Wrestlemania match

This match was dumb. Santina got beat up by William Regal, and of course that should’ve garnered disqualification…however, they turned this into a no dq match midway through.

Batista & John Cena defeated Legacy

I’m not sure how many times we’ve seen this, but I feel that this is just boring. We see this too often, handicap match with the faces looking great. So if you’ve seen any major previous match featuring the top faces in the game, you probably saw this match. I have a feeling that this match is at the house shows, but whatever the case maybe, Legacy was actually doing a good job holding their own midway through the match up. They just seemed like a well oiled machine, and why not? They are truly gaining on the “legacy” of The Four Horseman at this point. They have some more major title’s to go, but overall it’s getting good, seriously good. Things were falling apart until Ric Flair came down and lent an assist to the good guys, and Batista gets the pin on Orton!

Flair never retires…lame.

I’m tired, that’s it folks. I’ll be back tomorrow with ECW’s show review…enjoy.
