Instead of getting a match opening this episode of Raw opens up with Rey Mysterio in the ring. He asks for a match with Shawn Michaels, and HBK accepts! However, JBL comes out and tells him that HBK no longer can answer for himself. Amidst Rey Mysterio talking and trying to get HBK to return back to the ring, Mike Knox came out and beats the crap out of him, proving yet again that the WWE hates Rey Mysterio. John Cena comes out to save him, and Knox runs away like a coward.
CM Punk defeated Cody Rhodes
Apparently, if Rhodes didn’t win he’d be out of the new Orton stable that is forming. Cm Punk was really putting on a desperate attempt to win against punk. Punk didn’t look so good. He had his arm taped up, and you could visibly see a bruise on his leg from previous matches where he got hit hard. Cm Punk launched himself head first onto the outside and hit his head really hard on the announce table, which was interesting to say the least. William Regal distracted Punk and Rhodes jumped into the ring for a count out victory. Not exactly the greatest thing I’ve ever seen. But I guess you just have to go with it.
Melina won a divas battle royal
The winner of this match would get a women’s title match. This match was short, and it was basically an over the top rope affair. Melina won after throwing out Mickie James. This match up was boring to say the least, nothing really happened until after the match was over. Melina and Beth Phoenix started fighting on the announce table, which was kind of cool. Beth Phoenix’s biggest fan jumped out of the audience and helped Beth out, but was thrown out by security.
Sim Snuka defeated Charlie “Superfly” Haas
Sim Snuka basically beat the crap out of Haas for coming out dressed as his father Jimmy Snuka. This match was a jobber show, and while Haas did get some minor offense in there, it wasn’t all that great at all. Snuka is better here than when he was part of that greaser gimmick on Smackdown, but not by much. Haas went for the superfly flash but man, Snuka put his knees up and Haas really took a beating, it was bad. He had to have all the wind knocked out of him. Snuka beats Haas yet again.
John Cena, Cryme Tyme, Rey Mysterio Jr, and Kofi Kingston defeated Kane, Dolph Ziggler, The Miz & John Morrison, and Mike Knox
This match started out with such great momentum. Kofi Kingston was putting on a show as usual, and this time he seemed to a have a little more control than usual. He was in there doing all the best high spots, and proving yet again that he very well maybe the next big thing. We then went to commercial, and you could telegraph what would happen on the return. Yep, Rey Mysterio was getting beat up by the monster team, and they were tagging in and out, basically proving my comments that the wwe hates rey mysterio. Mysterio hit the reverse hurricanrana on Morrison and the crowd went nuts! He then tagged in John Cena and the champ started to clean house, and this match just turned into high spot heaven. Cena was hitting anything that moved and for once the crowd was fully behind him. John Cena hit the FU on Mike Knox and then tagged in Rey Mysterio to finish him off! Mysterio hit the splash and it was all over!
Matt Hardy defeated Manu
Manu put in some great effort in this match up. He was giving it his all and Matt Hardy just proved to be too much for the second generation superstar. The match was alright for the most part, Hardy was taking a beating for the most part of this match up, and was on rails to lose this one but Manu got hit with the Twist of Fate out of nowhere and boom; Manu loses this one and is possibly going to get kicked out of Legacy, the new Orton stable.
Jbl defeated Chris Jericho, Randy Orton, and Shawn Michaels
You couldn’t get this match to be any more emotional at the end. This match was good, it had a lot of moments with great position and strategy. I was hoping for Chris Jericho to win, but he was eliminated early on. Orton stuck around towards the end, but didn’t last through an HBK sweet chin music. It came down to JBL and HBK and JBL ordered his employee to lay down, but HBK couldn’t do it. This was full of tense moments and nothing happened, just the two people staring at each other and things were not looking good for the heart break kid. Shawn eventually, after a long drawn out pause, laid down for JBL. The last time I saw someone lay down for anyone was in WCW when Kevin Nash laid down for Hulk Hogan after the one finger of doom, that was classic. Or maybe Hogan laid down again in 2001, I don’t remember all that well, I think it was 2000 actually. Either way, Shawn Michaels couldn’t lay down so he asked for the Clothesline from Hell and JBL obliged with hellacious force knocking our HBK and wins a title shot thanks to HBK basically throwing the match. This was tense folks, I can’t explain it any better, it was very tense.
Overall a good raw, nothing too crazy, and just good overall wrestling, I liked it this week.

WWE Raw 12/22/08 Review and Results
Here we go, we start the show with Santino and it’s hilarious, great intro, awesome show, I’m juiced on caffeine.
Shawn Michaels defeated Kane
This would have been a ppv match up few years back, but now several years after both wrestlers are in their prime, they are the curtain jerkers on this edition of Raw. This match was very short and really didn’t have a whole lot to offer in terms of good wrestling. There were a few counters but overall nothing crazy, your standard Kane match here. HBK looked really strong upon applying the crippler crossface, and eventually landed Sweet Chin Music for the win against the big read machine Kane.
Kofi Kingston defeated Manu
Kingston is way too sloppy in the ring, he was missing a lot of steps, over working and moving way too fast. Manu looked poised to capitalize on a mistake as he caught Kofi coming off the top rope and was set to deliver a Samoan drop, but what happened next was shocking as Kofi pulled Manu over for a three count!
Mickie James and Melina defeated Jillian and Layla
Once again, your standard Divas match up. There were a lot of quick spots in here, but overall it wasn’t all that great. It’s just boring to me really. Mickie James’s leg was isolated but overall this match up had nothing to offer. Unless you’re looking for some good eye candy, which you had a little bit, but not much with Melina’s stupid looking outfit. What a horrible match, the more I think about the more I hate the wwe divas.
JBL defeated Rey Mysterio Jr.
I’m not really too excited with the preliminary matches to see who is going to the Rumble or whatever they are doing with these matches. They just seem boring to me. Case in point this match up between JBL and Mysterio. These two have had a storied past and it just isn’t all that great to me. JBL seemed to have scouted Mysterio well and Mysterio seems to be losing steam in his career, he’s gotta stop fighting the bigger man. I hope that the wwe will once again make a cruiserweight division, because Rey can’t possibly be risking his life with power moves from guys that obviously don’t care for his well beling, like JBL. This match was given a whole lot of time, and HBK saved the day as Rey Mysterio seemed poised on winning this match up. HBK caused Mysterio the match up, which was odd, considering the track record with wwe and their interference clauses. Oh well, JBL wins.
Chris Jericho defeated Cm Punk
This match had my attention, as the two are my personal favorites in the WWE riht now. Chris Jericho is just amazing still, he’s got so much experience in the ring, and he never seems to be too jacked or on the juice. Cm Punk also is good and he hasn’t lost a step since moving into the wwe style of wrestling, as Jericho complimented his moves well, countering some, and taking some stiff kicks to the body and even the head. This match turned into a war after a stiff kick to the head of Jericho, and the Canadian fans were 100% behind Chris Jericho! The beginning of the end happened with a running bulldog from Jericho, and all signs pointed to the Lionsault, but was countered right into the GTS and Jericho countered with THE WALLS OF JERICHO! Cm punk was in the Walls for a very long time, and eventually got out of them, while Jericho looked poised to get them back on, Punk hit him with a high knee and this match was really looking like ppv quality! Cm Punk leaped off the top rope and Jericho caught him in mid-air for THE CODEBREAKER and Jericho wins this match clean! Amazing match, three to four stars folks, this ending was insane; Codebreaker to Cm Punk whom was coming off the top rope!
Randy Orton, Jbl, Shawn Michaels, and Chris Jericho will meet in a fatal fourway next week, the winner gets John Cena for the belt at the Royal Rumble.
John Cena and Trish Stratus defeated Santino and Beth Phoenix
This match was awesome, only because Trish Stratus hasn’t missed a step! She’s thinner and she’s just as good in ring. She’s awesome! I marked out like a school girl when she came out, and she did a great job! Great stuff, oh man, great stuff, even if I don’t like Cena all that much. John Cena is still halfway over, but he needs a heel turn bad.

WWE Raw 12/1/08 Review and Results
We’re back in action this week, I’m back from my vacation and I’m in full writing mode again. I start this week in wrestling with nothing else than my full Raw review! That’s right, WWE Raw is back with a vengeance.
Rey Mysterio was scheduled to wrestle the Miz, but was interrupted.
This is stupid. This is how the little guys get injured, they get fed to whatever new monster the WWE is trying to promote. Mike Knox wasn’t even Mysterio’s opponent for this match up, and we go to commercial with Mysterio asking for medical help for his arm.
Cm Punk & Kofi Kingston defeated Manu & Cody Rhodes
Finally, Manu and Cody Rhodes have to wrestle, instead of being random idiots running in and spoiling the fun of the good guys. This match opened strong and for once I actually thought that team priceless was looking competent. I don’t like that Punk and Kingston have the titles, as I’ve always said that established tag teams should not just randomly lose to dream match pairings. The match quickly spilled out to the floor, and right when things were getting interesting, we got a commercial break. Rhodes was trying to keep his job in this one as he really tried hard to look good against Punk. Punk and Kingston work well together, and the crowd was eating this match up. Manu looked like the weak link in this match, and Rhodes would jump in to save him on several occasions. It wasn’t enough though, as Kofi Kingston got the hot tag and was jumping all over the place with everything but the kitchen sink being thrown at Cody Rhodes. Kofi wins this match with a huge spinning front kick to Rhodes and the champs win again.
Melina defeated Jillian
I haven’t seen Melina in a while, and I didn’t like to see her here. I never likd here. I don’t think these women can wrestle all that well. I didn’t like this match, and it wasn’t all that great at all. This match was only watchable because Santino was on commentary and making fun of himself and the women. Melina drops Jillian with the last call and the match is over. Lame match.
Batista defeated Dolph Ziggler
This was a train wreck. Dolph, former member of the spirit squad, got killed for no particular reasons…oh yeah, the drug thing. Dolph got some good offense in, as Batista was stunned initially, and the commentary team was selling Ziggler as an incredible wrestler, until the tables turned and things really got bad. Batista tried the spear and missed, as Ziggler jumped up over him, and then after what I thought was going to be the Batista bomb, Ziggler powered out of the Batista bomb. Ziggler’s main mistake though was that he jumped off the top rope into Batista’s arms to get a spine buster than we got the Batista bomb and it was all said and done. Batista walks alone.
Morrison defeated Finlay
Finlay was not looking so good against John Morrison as Morrison started this match with a flurry of offense. Finlay answered back with some stiff hits of his own, but it seemed like Morrison was just in the zone. There were a lot of rest holds for this match up, and that was weird, considering that they were short on time in my view. However, they picked it up with a good set of chains to close this match up. Finlay loses to John Morrison, and now Punk will face Morrison in the semi-finals of the Intercontinental title tournament.
Rey Mysterio defeated The Miz
Rey Mysterio came out with his arm heavily taped. However, that didn’t stop him from getting the 619 right off the bat, however he missed a splash and landed on the injured arm of his, and Miz came in and targeted that mistake like a veteran. I can’t believe that the WWE got The Miz over somehow, as he was looking good in this match. Mysterio was basically helpless for a good portion of this match, but Mysterio used his speed to get out of the way and jump in to take some quick shots where he didn’t have to use his arm. I’m not sure how this happened but by some miracle Mysterio wins and advances in the intercontinental championship tournament. Yep, Mysterio pulls one out of the hat to win.
John Cena defeated Kane
I wasn’t sure where this one was going, but it was your typical John Cena match. Even with Chris Jericho’s interference, John Cena beat the big red machine clean. It didn’t take a whole lot out of the champion. Cena then charged Jericho outside of the ring and gave him another famous beat down. But Priceless came out, then Randy Orton came out and Cena was basically helpless. Cena was getting pulled towards the ramp and getting set up for a ddt off the ramp to the floor, and BOOOM! DDT on the FLOOR off the Ramp on Cena. Then Jericho, Orton, Manu, and Cody Rhodes celebrated the demise of Cena with Jericho kicking cena while he was down. The Crowd went into a Batista chant, but nothing happened for a good long while, and we got Jericho slapping on the walls of Jericho old school style on Cena.

Finlay loses to John Morrison, and now Punk will face Morrison in the semi-finals of the Intercontinental title tournament.
Rey Mysterio defeated The Miz
Rey Mysterio came out with his arm heavily taped. However, that didn’t stop him from getting the 619 right off the bat, however he missed a splash and landed on the injured arm of his, and Miz came in and targeted that mistake like a veteran. I can’t believe that the WWE got The Miz over somehow, as he was looking good in this match. Mysterio was basically helpless for a good portion of this match, but Mysterio used his speed to get out of the way and jump in to take some quick shots where he didn’t have to use his arm. I’m not sure how this happened but by some miracle Mysterio wins and advances in the intercontinental championship tournament. Yep, Mysterio pulls one out of the hat to win.
John Cena defeated Kane
I wasn’t sure where this one was going, but it was your typical John Cena match. Even with Chris Jericho’s interference, John Cena beat the big red machine clean. It didn’t take a whole lot out of the champion. Cena then charged Jericho outside of the ring and gave him another famous beat down. But Priceless came out, then Randy Orton came out and Cena was basically helpless. Cena was getting pulled towards the ramp and getting set up for a ddt off the ramp to the floor, and BOOOM! DDT on the FLOOR off the Ramp on Cena. Then Jericho, Orton, Manu, and Cody Rhodes celebrated the demise of Cena with Jericho kicking cena while he was down. The Crowd went into a Batista chant, but nothing happened for a good long while, and we got Jericho slapping on the walls of Jericho old school style on Cena.

Raw Results 9/29/08 and Review
Michael Cole said that this Raw is on the biggest week in WWE History. Seriously? This week is bigger than Wrestlemania week? I think he’s just trying to push it a little since Smackdown is moving to a different channel and we are having a ppv this weekend. Speaking of which, I have tickets to Monday Night Raw next week! I’ll be there row 11 at the Key Arena in Seattle for Raw live! I’ll most likely not have a sign, but I will be opposite the hard camera.
Batista defeated Santino
Santino does his comic routine at the expense of Batista. He calls him brainless and also he throws up the Honka meter, but that was to no avail as the animal beat the crap out of Santino and won this match easily. Batista defeated Santino in a non title match, and I’m not sure what this proves. What a waste of time, I knew the outcome, but I didn’t like how this went down. I would have rather had Santino win by a fluke, but that’s ok, Batista is the one that really need to get over, right? I guess not, since immediately after the match up, JBL came in with a clothesline from hell! Knocking out Batista and taking away any glory that came from that win.
The Miz defeated JTG
This match wasn’t too bad, but it wasn’t all that good. The Miz has definitely improved since the first time I ever saw him on WWE programming during the Tough Enough series. The Miz isn’t the most electrifying man in sports entertainment, but he’s improving and this match showed it. JTG put on a good show, but I didn’t really care about this match overall. I don’t watch the dirt sheet and I don’t watch the Cryme Tyme online show, so pushing this feud via online shows is stupid, since the majority of the fans are probably not watching these two shows. The match didn’t take forever and The Miz won after a distraction, and it was all said and done.
Jillian might not be able to sing, but she’s got the biggest rack I’ve seen on Raw in a long time.
Jamie Noble & Mickie James defeated Katie Lea & Paul Burchill
The backstage segment that Jamie Noble had with Jillian was somewhat funny, and that shoutout to Beck was ok. The new guy showed up, and I guess he’s suppose to be the second coming of Val Venis, well at least the whole pornstar gimmick. However, by name only so far; which is a side point anyway. The match was ok for what it was. Standard mixed tag team match up, and this wasn’t all that great at all. Mickie James showed up, and that was great in my book. However, is it just me or has Mickie James lost her edge? She just isn’t as good without a better heel, and if Katie Lea is her main villain, I’m not sure if I buy it at all, so much so that I don’t buy it at all! I don’t really like the wwe divas and this match proved why I don’t. The two women tried to put on a match, but whenever they were in the ring, I was bored. Jamie Noble did a fine job of rescuing this match and actually defeated Paul Burchill! Seriously, Jamie Noble won against Paul, and guess what? I think the wwe only has room for one Paul, and Burchill is not him, so I’m going to just state this first, so you read it here first: The WWE Wishes their best on the future endeavors of Paul Burchill. What do you think? Is he just on a downward spiral or is he going to get a second shot? I think it’s all over for Pirate Paul…or whatever gimmick he is now.
Lance Cade came out to cut a promo, and I was bored.
Team Priceless, Manu, and Kane defeated CM Punk, Rey Mysterio, Kofi Kingston, and Evan Bourne
This match immediately reminded me of the old Survivor Series matches. At least in the early goings, these types of matches are always fun to watch because they are so fast paced and there are so many different spots that can be performed. Plus you had a good amount of high flyers on one team and a lot of big guys on the other. This was really good if you saw it, you were in for a treat. Match of the night for sure, as all the wrestlers had a shot to show their stuff, and although it wasn’t the longest match in the world, it had enough follow through to entertain me, and watching the younger guys mix it up with Kane was definitely cool. Standout points were definitely from Evan Bourne, Rey Mysterio and his team. They really took things to Kane’s team and this match immediately had the crowd going nuts. We get a commercial break and on the return the bad guys have full control of this match and they were really putting the boots to C.M. Punk, who was the only non-high flyer on the good guys team here. He really took a beating at the hands of Manu and Kane, but eventually got the hot tag. The match really didn’t go where I thought it was going to go, as Rey Mysterio had Kane basically beat, but got thrown over the top rope by a member of team priceless, and the legal man, Kofi Kingston, jumped in and tried to get Kane down. Kofi jumped to Kane’s shoulders, no easy feat, and got dropped on the back of his head for his troubles, Kane then picked up the victory for his team and Kofi was left laying in the middle of the ring knocked out. Great match up for what it was, and I liked it a lot. This match was fast, fun, and easy on the eyes. Best match of the week so far, as it had a little bit of everything, and really made everything up to this point suck.
Adamle cuts a promo only to get interrupted by Randy Orton. Orton whines a lot, and then JBL comes out, only to get Batista out there to knock him out. Yeah, this was lame, you can read about it on another site.
Santino also had a funny bit that will most likely lead him to cheating on the Glamazon, which is interesting to say the least.
Jillian & The Glamazon defeated Candice Michelle & Kelly Kelly
The divas match was a little more hard hitting than I expected. They really worked Candice in this match, and I don’t think she’s ready for the ring. Her body looks a little flabby and not toned yet. Watch the match closely and you’ll see that while she’s thin, she doesn’t really have anything going for her besides her boobs. Same could be said of Jillian, but she has a few good gymnastic moves that I didn’t expect her to pull off and she did in fact do them well. To Candice’s credit, she’s improving, but I’m not convinced yet. Kelly was looking ok, but she only has that one move that reminds me of Guile’s flash kick…only less effective than a Jean Claude Van Damme movie.
The Glamazon wins this one, and I loved it. I like her, and I hope she roughs up all the divas and makes them into real wrestlers. I liked the ending of this match, but felt that it was too slow for me.
Charlie Haas defeated Deuce
Once again, Deuce is still employed by the WWE? What the hell? Seriously, someone fire that guy or change his gimmick, because if he’s going to be another jobber wasting valuable television time, then I’m not buying it. As for Charlie Haas, he’s dressed as Great Khali this time around and they introduce him as The Great Charlie! The real translator is out with him, and the fans are eating it up. I thought it was hilarious, but how long can this really last? Charlie wins this match with ease and after the match up we had problems. Well we didn’t, but Charlie sure did, the Real Great Khali came out and he wasn’t looking very happy. He came down and beat the crap out of Haas with one major blow. Sadly, the great Charlie didn’t get back up.
Shawn Michaels and Triple H defeated Lance Cade & Chris Jericho via dq
We were teased all night about who was going to be the mystery partner for Shawn Michaels and no one knew what was going on. However, the old Degeneration X music hit and out came Triple H! Degeneration X returned to RAW at least for one night, and the old team was back together and on the same page! Triple H and Shawn Michaels as Degeneration X really had the crowd jumping and the pop was intense for this one. I even marked out a little bit at my chair, even though I was writing this review at 5 in the morning. These guys really do bring back memories. This match was a standard squash in my opinion. Triple H and Shawn Michaels dominated the match at the end and after it was all said and done, Shawn Michaels did a big splash to Lance Cade off the top of a Ladder and Chris Jericho looked like a scared little kid at the top of the ramp. This was a DQ finish, by the way, as the heels teamed up against Shawn Michaels.

Overall WWE Raw wasn’t all that great this week. I loved the 8 man tag team match, but the rest of the show was just non eventful. I feel that the wwe is just trying to make me buy the ppv this weekend, and I’m not going to since I already have tickets to Raw on Monday. I can’t afford both, as I’m super broke. This show was ok though.
