WWE Monday Night Raw October 1, 2018 Results and Review Horrible

WWE Raw Goes Old and Dumb - Source WWE 

First things first, we get Dean Ambrose coming out, and it’s supposed to be exciting. I think Dean Ambrose is extremely overrated. Of course, we open up with talking, because well, that’s what wrestling is now, a lot of talking on these shows. I miss wacky Dean, to be honest. The forward comb on his hair looks dumb, by the way.

After some talking, Baron Corbin came out to make a matcher and we would get the opening match up and it was Dean Ambrose facing off against Braun Strowman.

Brauns Strowman defeated Dean Ambrose

This was a one on one match, and while Strowman was winning, Roman Reigns showed up to mess up the match result. Ambrose lost this match.

Roman Reigns defeated Dolph Ziggler

Did you expect a different result? Roman Reigns goes through the motions he always does, and Ziggler gets finished off with a spear as per usual. Not a great match, not a terrible one, and Roman Reigns wins to the appreciation of little kids and women everywhere. I guess that was ok. Roman Reigns win, a few fans here, there’s a lot of empty seats in the arena.

Ronda Rousey defeated Ruby Riott

Riott put on a great fight overall. It wasn’t half bad, but did you think Rousey was going to lose here? Nope. Ruby Riott goes down and then gets an arm bar and that was that.

Konnor defeated Bobby Roode

Wow, this wasn’t glorious, and Roode is off the roids.

The B Team defeated The Revival

Wow, the Revival is now buried. Nice! What a lousy show.

Drew McIntyre defeated Seth Rollins

This wasn’t for the title. It was an ok match at best. It featured a good back and forth, but after the loss, out came Roman Reigns, and he caught a beat down from the crew. Braun Strowman would then come out, and that prompted for Dean Ambrose to run down with an Axe Handle and start laying waste to people. That was that, or was it? Strowman would get an upper hand and the wolves would go on to beat up the Shield a bit, and that was that. I guess it was good? I’m not a big of an of these 6 idiots.

Kevin Owens defeated Bobby Lashley

This was a distraction roll up loss, and the match was ok at best. Lio Rush was outside and he got a beat down from Elias. Elias got heat singing and commenting about Seattle, but other than that, this was somewhat boring. Why do I still watch Raw?

Shawn Michaels Goes Bald

The ending of Raw had a bunch of old timers return, and I yawned so hard I almost fell asleep. The Brothers of Destruction came through, and well it was fine. I don’t care about these guys, and I don’t know why anyone else would. Shawn is bald now. Meh. Whole lot of meh.

Raw was abysmal, and yet the company keeps making money. I don’t get it. I don’t care.

WWE Monday Night Raw September 17, 2018 Results and Review More BS

Everyone Sucks - Source WWE

Live from Dallas Texas, we get to the A show, and it starts with Roman Reigns and the people of Raw booing. I would boo too. Heck, I’d boo the woo.

Of course, we start with talking. I’m so tired of this BS. The show opened and Braun Strowman with Roman Reigns were thrown into a Triple Threat Match for the Universal Title at the Crown Jewel show in Saudi Arabia, which doesn’t happen until November. This was stupid. Paul Heyman came out and talked, and honestly, this was too much talking for me.

Drew McIntyre defeated Dean Ambrose

Ambrose threw down a lot of his offense against Drew, but it wasn’t enough. The finishing kick really hit Ambrose square, and that was that. Dean pulled out a few good moves, including a nice Texas Cloverleaf, but Drew McIntyre, the chosen one, comes back and wins big after Ambrose misses a double axe handle smash. A good opening match, and well, Ambrose loses clean. A burial? Na, but I guess I can call it that, why not? Dean Ambrose is buried now.

Chad Gable defeated Random Dude From Ascension

I”m done. I’m so done. This is so stupid. Gable is great though, so I guess that’s cool. The Ascension will end up facing off against Bobby Roode and Chad Gable, I’m sure. Anyway, this was a boring match with Gable going over with ease.

Undertaker came out and talked.

I don’t want to see The Undertaker doing limericks in the ring. Boring.

Bayley defeated Dana Brooke

Well, I didn’t think Dana would win, even though I think she’s awesome. She’s underrated, but it was Bayley here that would get the win, and that was that. It was good, but not great. Bayley and Sasha Banks seem like afterthoughts these days, if you ask me.

The Authors of Pain defeated Jobbers

Meh.

Seth Rollins defeated Dolph Ziggler

Not a terrible match, but I’ve already seen these guys wrestle a million times, so meh, it was an ok television match, but it wasn’t their best work, as they’ve wrestled many times before.

Ronda Rousey Open Challenge

So Ronda was going to fight Natalya for an open challenge, but the Riott Squad came out and started to beat up Ronda, and the numbers game caught up with her. She held her own for a little while, but she got a beat down until she got saved by The Bella Twins. Ugh. I hate The Bellas. Things turned around and then the Riott Squad caught beat downs overall.

Lashley vs Elias Went To A No Contest

Lashley and Lio Rush are now friends and manager etc. The match other than this new union was ok, it was unexpected, and a little fun for sure.

Nia Jax and Ember Moon defeated Mickie James and Alicia Fox

Another quick match, and a fast ending. I guess that was that? Meh. Just meh. Nothing to see here.

Roman Reigns defeated Baron Corbin via DQ

This match was back and forth, and after some time, Corbin threw a chair at Roman and the ref disqualified him. After this, Baron ordered the match restarted as a no disqualification match.

Roman Reigns defeated Baron Corbin

Of course. The shield came out, the War Dogs or whatever came out, and well, there was a brawl, there was superman punches, and the Big Dog would win again. Meh.

This night of Raw was nothing short of an elaborate prank, right? Nothing from the night before was really answered to satisfaction, but hey, that’s WWE for you. Ugh. So tired of this company.

Monday Night Raw September 3, 2018 Results and Review

The Beat Down of The Shield - Source WWE 

We open the show with talking as per usual. This time the show begins with Dolph Ziggler, Braun Strowman, and Drew Mcintyre. They talked a bit until The Shield showed up and things got heavy. The Raw Roster ran down to stop them, and they started to fight, and then the whole crew was in the ring trying to stop The Shield. Yeah, it was a big brawl, and the six guys were being held down by the rest of the Raw roster. That’s right, the whole Raw roster was having a hard time containing six guys. This is how we start Raw. Sigh.

The Shield got arrested and thrown into a van.

The Bellas defeated The Riott Squad

This was bad. Like really bad. The Bellas had ring rust, and they buried The Riott Squad. So that was that. SO much for in ring talent, and let’s just go with “looks”, right? Well that’s that.

Chad Gable and Bobby Roode defeated The Ascension

Well, the Ascension is now done. Another burial folks. Gable and Roode won an easy match here, and it was fun to see, but come on, The Ascension is nothing but a joke here.

Elias Came Out and of course it was stopped.

Alexa Bliss came out and talked, then Elias was going to help her with a song, and nope. Ronda Rousey showed up. Ugh, more talking. I’m so tired of a wrestling show that just talks and talks, and doesn’t have a lot of wrestling. Natalya came out as well.

Alexa Bliss defeated Natalya

Natalya loses a short match here. Alexa Bliss got help from her friends on this one, and then made Natalya tap out with an arm bar. Not a great match at all.

After the match, Ronda got her knee taken out and Alexa tried to beat her up, which worked for a second, but Ronda got the better of her, and she ran off. Their match is going to be another squash, I’m sure. This was awful to me.

Drew McIntyre and Dolph Ziggler defeated The B Team

Well, that was something. Not a long match, but a little back and forth for sure. Ziggler was able to get a good deal of offense, and Mcintyre was able to hit some nice moves as well. Either way, you’re going to find that this gives the two bad guys gold, and they will most likely defend and lose to the Shield, right? Yeah. Anyways, this was lame. The B Team’s time is over, and they are now going to be relegated back to jobber status, I hope.

AOP buries Jobbers

Meh. Drake Maverick is now their manager. Meh

Shawn Michaels Talked

The Undertaker showed up and talked, and the two were talking. I’m telling you guys, so much talking, and not enough wrestling is killing Raw these days.

Bayley and Sasha Banks defeated Ember Moon and Dana Brooke

I don’t know what this was, other than a simple, slow moving, short match. There was a few moments that were interesting, but it looks as though Dana Brooke is over Titus Worldwide, and is going solo. Moon didn’t get much offense, and Brooke took the pin. Women’s revolution eh? Short matches are back folks.

Jinder Mahal Talked.

This was another talking segment and it featured Bobby Lashley. However, in the middle of a meditation thing, Kevin Owens stormed the ring and beat up Lashley for apparently no reason. Then Jinder got a beat down from Lashley, and well Owens was standing tall, screaming, and apparently didn’t quit after all, right? Meh. The prize fighter has no prize, and he is just picking fights with random people. Meh.

Braun Strowman defeated Finn Balor

This was a back and forth match, and it wasn’t half bad. Strowman would get the win here, after a lot of action from Balor, who did his best to get through the motions of the match. He was supposed to fight Baron Corbin, but instead, he had to fight off Strowman here, and well, it was not an easy match for him. Strowman got the win with his powerslam, and that was that.

After the match, the Shield returned in a police van, and were ready to attack, but they couldn’t, because the heels of Raw came down to beat them up and then drag them to the aisle way. That is that. I don’t like the Shield, honestly, and well, this night on raw, they got those hands and were left for dead. Meh.

WWE Monday Night Raw August 20, 2018 Results and Review The Roman Show Continues

Finn Balor vs. Roman Reigns - Source WWE

Roman Reigns showed up, cut a promo, then got a handshake from Finn Balor. After that, we got a Baron Corbin to cut a promo, and that prompted Kurt Angle, so we started the show with a lot of talking, which I hate.

Bobby Lashley defeated Baron Corbin

There was a match setup by Angle, and we got these two brawling, and throwing haymakers at one another. This was a hard fought battle, and it was great overall. It was simple to work with if you were expecting the two to put on a quick match, and I liked it. Lashley was able to throw in a good amount of offense, and Corbin just couldn’t hang in the ned, losing after Lashley threw in some heavy hits.

The Riott Squad defeated Sasha Banks, Bayley and Ember Moon

Wow, this was another good match, although, it wasn’t that long. The Squad was able to cheat their way through victory, and once again put down the friends, and Moon, and were able to work as a unit. That’s always fun to watch, and well, they won big.

Triple H cut a promo, and just talked. It was boring. He will face Undertaker October 6, meh. Ok.

Elias defeated Curt Hawkins

Well, this was a quick one, and Hawkins earned his pay check that’s for certain. The end, that’s it.

The Authors of Pain defeated Titus Worldwide

Well that was that. It was ok at best. I didn’t hate it, but I did not love it either. Meh. The best part was Apollo Crews going to town on AOP and doing some amazing athletic things, but other than that, AOP wins and that’s that.

Ronda Rousey Ceremony

Oh my lord, this sucked. I hated it. Stephanie McMahon made things lame, and well this was dumb. Ugh.

The Revival defeated The B Team

The Revival beat the B Team in singles action. First Bo loses than Axel loses. These were short matches, and the job was done with ease. It was a fun showcase, none the less, and it was ok. The B Team sucks, I don’t like them. Oh well. I got bored with Raw.

Roman Reigns defeated Finn Balor

This was a very good match, with a lot of upside. It was a fast moving option for sure, and I liked how well it turned out . Balor took on a lot of elements, and the offense here was great. But the ending had a distraction and that let Roman Reigns pick up the win.

After the win, Braun Strowman tried to cash in. But he couldn’t, because The Shield reunited and showed up to mop up Strowman. The band is back together! So the Shield are now going to protect Roman’s interest? Meh.

Another night of Raw, and if my hip didn’t hurt I’d like this more, it was ok at best.

WWE Monday Night Raw April 16, 2018 Results and Review The Shake Up Night One

Ronda Rousey Take Down 2018 - src wwe dot com

Let’s shake things up! That’s what we were going to get with Monday Night Raw, and it was interesting to see how things shaped up. It’s better than the last one, but let’s see how it all works out.

WWE Monday Night Raw April 16, 2018 Results and Review

Jeff Hardy defeated Jinder Mahal for the US Championship

Jeff Hardy is so good, and still so clean when he is in the ring. He was able to throw down some good offense against Jinder and Mahal wasn’t bad. Jinder Mahal and Jeff Hardy threw down a great deal of back and forth and I enjoyed it tremendously. I was rooting for Jeff towards the end, and was surprised to see that he was able to pull the title away from Jinder Mahal. Apparently, Jeff Hardy is now Hindering Jinder! Great opening match.

Bayley vs. Sasha Banks

The two women were throwing hay makers at each other and it was getting ugly until the Riott Squad broke into the ring and started to beat down the two women. They just kept fighting them, and beat them down with relative ease. It was an interesting jump, and one that didn’t have music played first.

The Authors of Pain defeated Heath Slater and Rhyno

Well, the Authors of Pain once again bury the duo of Slater and Rhyno and that’s the end of them. Sorry about that.

Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn showed up for Miz TV

Miz Tv was special in that they announced Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn, but then again, Miz ended up being told that he would be moved to Smackdown and that Daniel Bryan is waiting.

Matt Hardy and Bray Wyatt defeated The Revival

Why even have NXT tag teams come up? The Revival once again lose, and the team of Hardy and Wyatt is just stupid to me. The match was ok at best, and you knew that The Revival was going down, which they did.

Ember Moon defeated Mickie James

One hell of a match here, and it wasn’t long. However, the finish saw Ember Moon hitting her finisher and nearly wrecking Mickie James. This match is worth mentioning as the best match of the week, just for that insane finish. I loved it.

Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre showed up and beat down Titus Worldwide

I have nothing to say about this.

Samoa Joe confronted Roman Reigns

Samoa Joe babbles on and Roman Reigns all has to say one thing, but he doesn’t. He just needs to say that Samoa Joe couldn’t beat Lesnar either.

Natalya defeated Many Rose

This was a fast paced match, but it ended fast with a little help from Rose’s friends. Natalya would get a beat down after the fact, but out came Ronda Rousey and fought Sonya Deville and it was fascinating to see her beat down Sonya fast. I loved it.

Breezango defeated Cesaro and Sheamus

A short match, and nothing too crazy here, just an average match where Breezango steals a win. It was a fun little romp, and their backstage antics was fun to watch too.

Intercontinental Champion Seth Rollins, Finn Bálor, Braun Strowman, Bobby Lashley and Bobby Roode defeated The Miz, Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn and The Miztourage

This was a fast paced 10 man tag and nothing crazy. Just a lot of finishers, and back and forth. I loved it and it’s funny to see how they all interact. The best part here involved The Miz. The Miz got isolated and The Miztourage refused to tag in, and then Braun Strowman beat him down and pinned him for the win. The Miz gets sent out beaten, and without his crew.

An overall good night of wrestling, with a stacked Raw show. I liked it, even though it felt a little long. I hope Smackdown is just as good, otherwise this time around Raw will win the big showdown. I loved it. I’m sure others did too.

Monday Night Raw April 9, 2018 Results and Review

Miz Is Raw - SRC WWE

Monday Night Raw after Wrestlemania is usually a good thing, and honestly, it didn’t feel like it was 9 hours long for a change. Let’s consider the Monday Night Raw after Wrestlemania here before I get to Ring of Honor and Joey Janela’s Spring Break 2.

Monday Night Raw April 9, 2018 Results and Review

The opening of the show had Stephanie McMahon trolling the audience and then introducing Ronda Rousey. Rousey showed up and then put McMahon into an armbar and got her to tap again, and it got the crowd going nuts.

Nia Jax and Ember Moon defeated Alexa Bliss and Mickie James

This was an incredible match that showcased Ember Moon’s skills, and really made Jax look good too. Ok, incredible is a bit much, but I’m still high from the NXT Takeover show. Good overall match, not a long one, but enough to get Ember Moon over as a newcomer.

No Way Jose defeated a Jobber

No Way Jose beat a jobber and danced. I liked it.

The Revival defeated The Club Sandwich Boys in a Tag Team Eliminator Match

There’s a tournament for the number one contenders to the titles, and the Revival fought their long time rivals the Club Sandwich boys. The Revival won after they hit their finale, and that was that. It was a short match with a fast finish and that’s it.

The Miz, Seth Rollins, and Finn Balor were talking in the ring and Jeff Hardy showed up, making a match for later. This wasn’t bad, but it was more talking.

Mandy Rose defeated Sasha Banks

This wasn’t bad, Mandy Rose was able to beat Sasha Banks thanks to Bayley’s outside interference, and that was that.

Bobby Lashley attacked Elias

Elias showed up and sang a bit before Bobby Lashley showed up and beat him down and that was that. Nice to see Lashley back, that’s for sure.

The Authors of Pain defeated Heath Slater and Rhyno

This was a burial, nothing more. I can’t believe how far the former Smackdown Champions have fallen.

Samoa Joe cut a promo on Roman Reigns

Cool!

Matt Hardy and Bray Wyatt defeated Titus Worldwide in a Tag Team Eliminator Match

We very well may see Matt Hardy and Bray Wyatt get the tag team titles next. The two are now Woken and are a team, and they beat up Titus Worldwide in a short match.

Kevin Owens vs. Sami Zayn ended in a No Contest

This was interesting, as the winner will get a job on Raw. Neither won, as there was a double 10 count loss, and while the match was good as per usual, the ending was kind of dumb.

Seth Rollins, Finn Balor, and Jeff Hardy defeated The Miz and The Miztourage

A great match this was not. It was good, but not great. The good guys flew through the ring and controlled a lot of it, including Jeff Hardy throwing down all of his moves and getting the crowd to go completely nuts for the tag team work that the guys did here. The Miz and Miztourage lose again.

Overall, Raw wasn’t too bad, and it was better than most weeks. However, it’s not something that I loved, and it didn’t have the same gusto that you’d get with other nights after Mania. It was good though, don’t get me wrong.

WWE Monday Night Raw February 20, 2018 Results and Review Only 4 Things Happened

Alexa Bliss Taps Out - Source WWE dot com 

I cannot remember another Raw where the whole show was filled with wrestling, little talking, and highlighting very little of the roster. With such a large roster, you would think that there would be a lot more on Raw, but nope. Not this time, there’s only 4 things that happened on this show, and that makes my life a little easier, but it’s not without a few notes.

WWE Monday Night Raw February 20, 2018 Results and Review

The show opened up with a gauntlet match, and it featured all members of the elimination chamber match for this Sunday.

Braun Strowman won the Gauntlet Match

Now, the story of this match was the performance that Seth Rollins threw in. He was able to garner more than an hour of time in the match, and still didn’t win. He wasn’t able to win, and it was interesting to see how it all went down. After losing to Elias, the Miz came in, and then Strowman came in and the match was over a lot of the opening show, which was fun. Strowman threw down some great moments, and it was all over with a big win. Good stuff here.

Nia Jax attacked Asuka

This was interesting, no doubt, but only because Jax beat up Asuka. Asuka can’t speak English very much, and it was awful to hear her on the mic. She needs to learn better English, as I did, since English is not my first language.

Titus Worldwide defeated The Bar in a Non Title Match

I love Dana Brooke, I’d love to have dinner with her and hear her talk about random stuff. She seems rad. Anyways, this match wasn’t that great, it was a bit short, and had a few back and forth moments, with the Titus Worldwide guys getting the big win.

Sasha Banks, Bayley, and Mickie James defeated Alexa Bliss, Sonya Deville, and Mandy Rose

This match wasn’t too bad, and it was nice to see the women close the show again. This had a great back and forth with the story being that Bliss didn’t want to get into the ring with Mickie James. The match went back and forth with both teams getting a leg up, but it was Sasha Banks that would get the big win making Alexa Bliss tap out!

After the match, Deville and Rose started to beat down Sasha Banks and Bayley, but in came Mickie James and Alexa Bliss to stop them, and that was the end of the show.

Raw was actually fun to watch, because it was full of wrestling and not much filler. Great stuff for the most part, but it was sad to see some things rushed, no 205 Live guys, and missing a ton of the roster. However, this was fun and for that, I’m giving a major plus.

WWE Monday Night Raw February 6, 2018 Results and Review Walk With Elias

Asuka shakes Bayley's Hand - SRC wwe dot com

Three hours of WWE showed up in Iowa and from what I heard, it was snowy outside, but hot on the inside, just like a baked Alaska dessert. Right? Ok, bad joke, but let’s talk about the greater good of Raw, or the not-so greater good, as the three hour event came to television last night from Iowa, and I watched all of it. Here we go, let’s all walk with Elias and review WWE Monday Night Raw!

WWE Monday Night Raw February 6, 2018 Results and Review

Roman Reigns defeated Bray Wyatt

It was exactly what you thought it would be, and it was awfully good. The match wasn’t half bad, with both guys working their best with a passion for the business and a focus on hitting hard, and getting the crowd into it. Every move hit, every look and more was great here, and Roman Reigns won big. Roman Reigns won, and Bray Wyatt eats another pin, then gets deleted!

Finn Balor and Karl Anderson defeated Revival

The Revival was buried. That’s right, the Revival gets buried by Finn Balor and Karl Anderson, and that’s the end of that. Not a long match.

Cedric Alexander and Mustafa Ali defeated Drew Gulak and Tony Nese

Not a fast match, not a long one, just a great amount of action and that’s it. There was a lot of holds by Gulak and Nese, while Ali and Alexander tried to throw around their high flying moves. It wasn’t half bad, but it wasn’t great either. It was good enough if you ask me. A quick match with Maverick Drake on the mic, which was a nice change of pace.

Asuka defeated Bayley

This match was a good one, with Bayley hanging on for dear life at times, but throwing down Asuka’s offense as well. Asuka gave her some serious respect after the match by shaking her hand, but this was a great showcase for both women. Bayley is far better in ring than Sasha Banks at times, and it’s interesting to see the two matches back to back. Asuka is just amazing here.

The Miz defeated Apollo Crews

Crews was the young gun here and The Miz played smart veteran. The Miz won after capitalizing on a mistake that Crews made. Apollo Crews was making a lot of mistakes here, and it’s interesting to see how the whole match was put together. Crews would get the loss, but he still looked strong overall.

Cesaro and Sheamus defeated Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns via DQ

This was a good overall tag match, lots of action, some good back and forth, but it was not the night for The Shield. Jason Jordan came out and messed up the match for the Shield and they got disqualified. That was the end of those guys getting title shots, and we’ll have to see who is next for The Bar here. I’m not sure where it’s going to go.

Nia Jax defeated Vanessa Floyd

Jax beat down a jobber.

Mickie James defeated Sonya Deville

Another match that featured a veteran in ring performer taking on a rookie and making her pay. Sonya Deville was able to get a good deal of offense, but it was Mickie James that impressed me here. She’s quick, and was able to counter some of Deville’s offense, eventually getting a roll up win. After the match she got beat down by the Absolution crew, but Alexa Bliss came out to save her.

Elias defeated Braun Strowman and John Cena

Elias and Cena ganged up on Strowman and threw him out of the ring many times, and even hitting an AA on the steps. Elias and Cena battled for the most part of the match, and it was interesting how well this turned out. Elias would get the big win, but only after Strowman hit Cena with his running power slam, and that was that.

Afterwards Strowman left both men on the mat, but the end came with Elias pinning Cena. I kid you not. Cena is pinned by Elias!

This night of Raw had a lot more wrestling than most weeks, and I loved it. I actually enjoyed this week’s Raw, including the women’s matches, and that main event with a great ending, as I’m walking with Elias!

WWE Monday Night Raw December 18, 2017 Results and Review The Dumpster Fires of All Dumpsters

Alex Wright > Finn Balor 

I’m not sure how to even frame this positively. I guess I can see it in a positive light, but it’s hard for me to do so. The reason being is simple, it’s very difficult to be a long time fan and not ask questions about what is going on. I guess I’ll just talk about the HULU version because hey, that’s what I have to watch these days.

WWE Monday Night Raw December 18, 2017 Results and Review

Kurt Angle comes out, and out come Kane and Braun Strowman, and that forces Angle to announce that the two of them will face Brock Lesnar at Royal Rumble for the title. I do not want to see this at all. Absolutely, do not want to see anything with these three. I can’t wait for Lesnar to escape for another win, and then get paid more than any other champion on the roster, and work less dates than everyone else. I’m tired of Lesnar, it’s that simple.

Seth Rollins defeated Jason Jordan

Why? Just why does Jason Jordan get so much time to lose? Seth Rollins takes him on and wants Samoa Joe too, and well, he first beats Jordan in a competitive match, and then Rollins would get the win. This isn’t a bad match, but it’s not that great. It has the same spots you’d expect, but I feel like I’ve seen so much Jason Jordan losses, that it just gets boring for me.

Finn Balor and Hideo Itami defeated The Miztourage

Finn Balor started with fighting The Miztourage, and it wasn’t that great. He was having a hard time with the two, and out came Hideo Itami and that set up a Straight up Tag team Match Playa! The match had Balor getting beat up a lot, and it was awful. Balor was getting beat up and beat up, and then got the tag for Itami and that was the end. He tore through the jobbers and that’s the end of that. I don’t see the big deal with this guy, at least not in WWE.

Cedric Alexander defeated Drew Gulak to earn the right to challenge Enzo Amore

This was not shown on HULU.

Asuka defeated Alicia Fox

This was not shown on HULU

The Bar and Samoa Joe defeated Ambrose, Rollins, and Jason Jordan

This was not a great match, and since Ambrose is injured, Jordan and Rollins already had a match earlier, this was not going to be good. It was mediocre at best, and had a lot of great elements, as the teams are good to work with the teams. This is not a terrible match, mind you, but I feel like I’ve seen this so many times it was just boring to me.

Matt Hardy did a promo.

This was not shown on HULU

The Revival defeated Heath Slater and Rhyno

This was not shown on HULU

Elias is in the 2018 Rumble.

Meh

Stephanie McMahon Announcement

What can I say? McMahon came out and said there will be a women’s Royal Rumble match. I didn’t care. Are there even 30 women on the roster? Ugh. Ok well, good for them?

Raw had so little wrestling that I took a nap immediately afterward. This was a dumpster fire of Raw, and reminded me of WCW Thunder.

WWE Monday Night Raw July 31, 2017 Results and Review The Backwards Showcase

Samoa Joe Looked Like A Chump - SRC wwe.com 

I finally am sitting down to review the show, and despite the fact that I don’t have many readers, It was important for me to get through this one. Why? Because I need something to vent my displeasure with how WWE Raw went down this week. I saw the HULU version, but it felt like it was 9 hours long, and despite the fact that the feed only has a select amount of information in the 90 minutes, it didn’t feel shorter for some reason. With that in mind, let’s consider what went down, and how I felt about it, because this is a site where I discuss pro wrestling from WWE, and well that’s about it.

WWE Monday Night Raw July 31, 2017 Results and Review

From the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, there was NO ECW chants that I recall, meaning the crowd is definitely not what they used to be, that’s for sure.

Kurt Angle came out only to get interrupted by Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman. They said that they were going to quit if Lesnar lost at Summerslam. They aren’t going to lose, mind you.

The Hardy Boyz defeated The Club Sandwich Guys

Well, the Club are officially a bunch of nerds. They lose again, and while the Revival and the Club decided to try and beat up the Hardy’s they couldn’t get it done. Team Extreme once again buries the young talent, and that’s the end of that. I can only hope that they become broken.

Rich Swann, Cedric Alexander, and Akira Tozawa defeated TJP, Ariya Daivari, and Tony Nese

This was not on HULU

Jason Jordan on Miz TV

What a load of garbage. Jason Jordan gives an Angle Slam, I think, to the Miz into the Miztourage, and that was that. Jordan is not ready for this push.

Seth Rollins defeated Sheamus

This was a boring match, that led to Sheamus and Cesaro beating up Rollins. Dean Ambrose ran down to help him out. This made no sense. Ambrose said that he was going to go his own way, and Rollins would have to go his own way, but here he is saving the day for some reason. This makes absolutely no sense to me folks. Why would he do this? He shouldn’t care about Rollins, as it’s none of his business. But alas, he ran down, and the two tried to beat up the champions. This made no sense.

Finn Balor attacked Bray Wyatt

Bray Wyatt rambles on and on, and said that no one can beat him, etc. I don’t know who to cheer for here, the Wyatt character sucks, but you know what? Alex Wright 2.0 is worth checking out, so maybe he’ll do well in this feud.

Roman Reigns defeated Samoa Joe and Braun Strowman

Of course he did. I didn’t like this match at all, as Joe looked weak and so did Strowman. Strowman made quick work of Joe, and Reigns was able to get the big win after hitting Strowman with the steel steps. Joe really got booted here, from the start, making him look weak amidst the other guys. This should’ve been the main event, but alas, it wasn’t. This was a good television match, but man, I wish Joe didn’t look so much like a chump here.

Elias defeated Kalisto

This wasn’t shown on HULU

Bayley defeated Nia Jax via Count Out

This wasn’t shown on HULU

Big Cass defeated Big Show via Disqualification

This was a boring, terrible match. Big Cass has new boring music, Big Show got winded fast, and Enzo came out to try and beat up Cass, only to get booted and knocked out. Cass then got hit in the face with that knockout punch, and that was it. That’s your Raw.

This was a boring episode of Raw, with little to no action in my view. Yes, there were some good moments, like the Hardy’s getting the best of the other teams, and watching Rollins get beat up by Cesaro and Sheamus. However, nothing that happened on this show hyped me up for Summerslam, which is the main goal of Raw right now, right? Ugh, this was a boring, flat show with a lot of boring moments, including that terrible main event. Why would they put Cass and Show on last? It makes no sense. What a terrible night of pro wrestling, if you can call it that.

WWE Monday Night Raw January 11, 1993 The First Ever Raw

WWF Monday Night Raw 

I recently went back to watch the first ever Nitro, and decided to go back and see the first ever Raw. Well, I went back to watch the first ever Monday Night Raw for review. Bobby Heenan wasn’t allowed into the arena, and that was the running gag through the night. Other than that, there was a lot of wrestling packed into a small arena. It was a very small location, and it was definitely fascinating to look at. Here are the results.

WWE Monday Night Raw January 11, 1993 Results

Yokozuna (w/ Mr. Fuji) defeated Koko B. Ware
The Steiner Brothers (Rick Steiner and Scott Steiner) defeated The Executioners
Shawn Michaels (c) defeated Max Moon to retain the WWF Intercontinental Championship
The Undertaker (w/ Paul Bearer) defeated Damien Demento

WWE Monday Night Raw January 11, 1993 Review

The night had 4 matches airing live, and it was interesting to see. This was a short show, with a lot of momentum. At one point Razor Ramon cut a promo. Other than that, we had some quick matches, and a surprising appearance by Konnan.

Yokozuna (w/ Mr. Fuji) defeated Koko B. Ware

Yokozuna squashed Koko, no pun intended. He was on his way out at this point, so he wasn’t exactly getting a push, that’s for certain.

The Steiner Brothers (Rick Steiner and Scott Steiner) defeated The Executioners

The Steiners beat the bricks of two jobbers, and that’s about it. There’s not much to say about this match.

Shawn Michaels (c) defeated Max Moon to retain the WWF Intercontinental Championship

In a surprisingly good match, Shawn Michaels wrestled Max Moon. This was Konnan, of course. Max Moon put on a nice show, and it was interesting to see a young Shawn Michaels put up with Konnan’s flexibility and outstanding aerial style. Michaels would get the win, but it wasn’t an easy match, with Konnan’s abilities looking a bit better than Shawn at the time. The two would not meet again in the same fashion, since Konnan would go to WCW.

The Undertaker (w/ Paul Bearer) defeated Damien Demento

A throwaway match, with The Undertaker’s no selling and Demento looking hilarious. This was an era of characters, and it showed. This wasn’t great, but it was watchable, at least.

There you have it, a quick rundown of the first ever Monday Night Raw. Was it better than Nitro? I don’t know, maybe? Check out my review of the first ever Monday Night Nitro Here for that information.

WWE Monday Night Raw January 2, 2017 Results and Review The Burial of Strowman

I took some time off from writing to think about what I wanted to do with this year’s blog. I still want to start a podcast, but I can’t really do it right now. So instead of going that route, I’m going to continue to write on this blog, and discuss what is going on in my head, and the world of wrestling in general. With that in mind, consider the first Raw of 2017. It was a good night for the shovel, because people got buried on this show, and you know you either loved it, hated it, or just didn’t notice it.

WWE Monday Night Raw January 2, 2017 Review

You know what’s up. I don’t give you a rundown of everything, but rather notes on the bigger picture, and well, today, there’s a lot to explore.

Mick Foley Is Losing It

This was the worst I’ve seen Foley. He didn’t remember certain things, he was broken down by Stephanie McMahon, and well, he didn’t look good in my view. Sure, he’s skinnier, but he’s not walking right and you just know that this job is causing him issue. Stephanie McMahon is just lost out there, doing something between heel and face, and then face again, I don’t know. She’s not good in this role in my view. What a way to start the new year…boring.

Seth Rollins def. WWE Universal Champion Kevin Owens via Disqualification

The same guy that couldn’t put away Brown Shoeman, somehow gets a shot at Kevin Owens? Not only that, Owens used to be a prize fighter, but here, he’s just another cowardly heel that can’t seem to win against some of the main roster guys. Rollins gets disqualified on purpose, this match was boring, and we move on. Oh and Owens can’t be at ringside later for the Jericho match, man.

Match Rating: 2 out of 5

Karl Anderson def. Raw Tag Team Champion Cesaro

Forgettable to say the least.

Match Rating: 1 out of 5

Braun Strowman def. Sami Zayn in a Last Man Standing Match

This was match of the night. However, Zayn was buried here. He kept pushing to beat down Shoeman, but he couldn’t do it. Chair shots, table breaking, and yet nothing. Shoeman is the second coming of the Undertaker, that is until later this night. Zayn was dead, and basically not winning anyone over. He should’ve won this match, and nope. He loses, because WWE doesn’t seem to have the same investment that they do in Owens. Oh well, Zayn’s done in my book.

Match Rating: 4 out of 5

Xavier Woods def. Titus O’Neil

Nope.

Match Rating: 1 out of 5

Drew Gulak def. Cedric Alexander

My stream messed up. I guess Gulak wins, but I don’t really know who he is, and I don’t like the Cruiserweight division.

Match Rating: 1 out of 5

U.S. Champion Roman Reigns def. Chris Jericho

Did anyone really think Reigns was going to look weak against Jericho? Roman Reigns is the new Super Cena, only more annoying. He also is looking a little lighter than he was earlier in the air. Perhaps it’s because he’s not on the juice anymore. Jericho is always fun watch, and he tried to win via the old Eddie Guerrero screw job, but nope, the ref didn’t buy it, Reigns hit a spear, and pinned Jericho. The U.S. Title is the worst title on Raw, and it’s because Reigns has it.

Match Rating: 3 out of 5

TJ Perkins def. The Brian Kendrick

Nope.

Match Rating: 0 out of 5

Rusev and Jinder Mahal def. Big Cass

Jingle my balls is on the roids. Rusev sucks. They are wasting Enzo and Cass.

Match Rating: 1 out of 5

Bayley def. Nia Jax to become No. 1 Contender to the Raw Women’s Championship

This match was interesting, until Sasha Banks came out for the distraction. Bayley hit a good suplex off the middle rope, and that was that. Jax does the job, and now Bayley will face Charlotte. Here’s the thing, before this match, Bayley was run down by Stephanie McMahon. It was stupid. I hated it. I don’t understand the creative team, and well, I don’t understand how Charlotte’s going to lose against Bayley. Oh wait. She’s not.

Match Rating: 2 out of 5

Goldberg appeared on “The Kevin Owens Show”

BORING. BORING. Kevin Owens used to be the prize fighter, now he’s just another cowardly champion on a show that has more talking than wrestling. This was ok, but the true story here was that Brown Shoeman was buried by Goldberg and Reigns. That’s it. That’s your story.

Burials on Raw this week:

Nia Jax
Sami Zayn
Brown Shoeman

That’s your Raw, I’m going to go throw up now. What a revolution? FML.

Charlotte Before She Sobbed From The Pain, I'd Cry Too 

Live from Charlotte, North Carolina, Monday Night Raw hit a high note at times, but not without some seriously bad things. There were a lot of things happening, and while I liked a good chunk, this show was not without a few notes of anger and stupidity. I mean, come on, Cesaro and Shamus are the new APA? Yeah right. Whatever. Here are my thoughts on last night’s Raw.

WWE Monday Night Raw November 28, 2016 Review

U.S. Champion Roman Reigns crashed “The Highlight Reel” with Kevin Owens

The Highlight Reel was dumb. They opened up with another point of a break up between Owens and Jericho. Reigns and Owens got mad at each other, Jericho got mad at each other, and this will no doubt set up Roman Reigns and Kevin Owens.

Braun Strowman def. R-Truth

Stupid match. I don’t care about Brown Shoeman. Whatever. Sami Zayn showed up and got a beat down, Foley came out, blah, blah, blah. It was dumb. R-Truth got buried, then Goldust got buried.

Match Rating: 0 out of 5

Tony Nese def. Cedric Alexander

The best part of this element was Nese getting a win over Alexander. But let’s consider that the WWE does this often. They make challengers and champions look weak before a title match. That’s what happened here. Alexander loses, Nese wins with interference, and the best part of this was Kendrick on the color commentary.

Match Rating: 2 out of 5

Seth Rollins attacked Chris Jericho in the parking lot

Yep. Rollins beat up Jericho. I didn’t care, you didn’t care, Rollins sucks.

Raw Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair vs. Sasha Banks ended in a Double Count-out

This was smart. I liked how this started, and ended. I think that this should’ve led to a PPV match rather than Foley setting up another match later on. This would not end well for Charlotte, so SPOILER alert.

Match Rating: 0 out of 5

Enzo Amore def. Rusev via Disqualification

Boredom movements happen a lot on Raw. This was boring. Good mic skills from Enzo and Cass, bad match rating, and a waste.

Match Rating: 0 out of 5

Rich Swann def. Noam Dar

It comes to my attention that I mixed up Swann and Alexander, and I’m an idiot because Kendrick was on here not the other. Oh well. This match was ok, and I’m an idiot. I apologize for my lack of enthusiasm for the cruiserweights.

Match Rating: 3 out of 5

U.S. Champion Roman Reigns def. WWE Universal Champion Kevin Owens to become No. 1 contender to the WWE Universal Championship

Did the WWE telegraph this one or what? Did you really think that Owens was going to win? I didn’t. Reigns stayed strong, and that was that. He took a beating, and the commentary team basically jerked off until they blew their loads for the finish. Michael Cole especially was spent with his commentary at the end, yelling about how Roman Reigns has put in a great performance and win. Yeah, yeah, Reigns wins, Superman Reigns.

Match Rating: 3 out of 5

Paul Heyman declared Brock Lesnar for the Royal Rumble Match

So Brock Lesnar is in the Rumble and he’s going to cost Goldberg the match.

OR!!!!!

Picture this. Lesnar, Goldberg, Ambrose, Reigns, Jericho, and Rollins are left in the final stages of the Rumble. They all start battling it out, and things get hectic, with refs getting distracted with Goldberg and Lesnar. Lesnar and Goldberg fighting on the outside, and the last 4 left will be Ambrose, Reigns, Jericho, and Rollins, with the final winner being one of those guys. Let’s just say it’s Jericho. This can’t stand, so they put an Elimination Chamber crossover match in which we see a final winner for the title. The chamber will include Lesnar and Goldberg, and that will give Goldberg the title.

Sasha Banks def. Charlotte Flair to become the new Raw Women’s Champion

Here we go, the main event. The main event was a great showcase of these two women’s strengths. I loved the Hell in the Cell match. I also loved their other matches, but this one once again showed that these two are great together. However, I wish there were more women getting title shots and mixing it up. Flair took a beating, no doubt. She took on such a beating, and Banks went through with getting shots to the dome too. That giant forehead of hers got hit a lot, but so did Charlotte’s mole. The ending came with a Bank Statement through a guard rail, which was great. I wish the tap out didn’t come so quickly, but it did. Ric Flair came out and raised Sasha's hand. I loved this match, great showing.

WWE Monday Night Raw October 24, 2016 Results and Review The Worst Raw In History

Fat Ass Kevin Owens vs. Crossfit Jesus 

I’ve seen some bad Raw shows before. But this one, via HULU is the absolute worst piece of garbage I’ve ever seen. There are only a few notes that I can bring forward from the HULU version mind you, that I can even comment about. This is a horrendous show, and you know it was, admit it.

WWE Monday Night Raw October 24, 2016 Review

The above represents the full show, but guess what? Hulu completely neutered this, for better or worse. Whatever the case is, here are my highlights because I don’t want to relive anything here.

The List of Jericho is Over

Who would’ve thought that in 2016, the List of Jericho is more over than 90 percent of the roster? When Kevin Owens finally shows up on the List of Jericho, things are going to absolutely blow up. I can’t wait for that, it’s going to be epic, no doubt.

Sasha Banks Is Annoying As All Hell

Let me ask this, why is Charlotte and Sasha Banks fighting in Hell in A Cell? Why? Is it because they couldn’t get a finish to their match? Were they interfering with each other’s matches? Were they beating up the ref? Were they bloody or hitting each other with chairs? Nope. It’s just a matter of “history”? Spare me. This is a stupid, stupid, idiot move by the creative team. These two can go, but honestly, they don’t need the cage, unless there’s going to be blood.

Brock Lesnar Promo

No promo. From what I read, Vince blew a gasket and ended this. Paul Heyman also admitted that the promo sucked. Lesnar was supposed to get booed, he didn’t.

Seth Rollins defeated Kevin Owens and Chris Jericho

This was a saving grace, but the wrong guy went over. Seth Rollins is being booked as Super Cena, and I hate that. He should’ve taken a loss because Jericho and Owens teamed up against him. Nope. Instead, we get a lackluster main event, with some interesting spots, and fat ass Kevin Owens power bombing Cross Fit Jesus into the apron. Who cares.

WWE Monday Night Raw Review

Monday Night Raw was a chore, even for the HULU edition. I had a very hard time getting through the show. I do not have cable, so I did not get to see the 3 hour showcase, but from what I hear online, it wasn’t that good at all. Here are my thoughts on the HULU edition, since it cut out a LOT.

Seth Rollins Fought Rusev to a Double Count Out

This wasn’t half bad. Rusev and Rollins put on an OK match. I liked the fact that Rollins did not injure Rusev, and didn’t get him killed either. Other than that, I was wondering how they would keep both men strong. What ended up happening, however, was the two fought each other to a double count out and that was that. Not a terrible match, but not great either.

Match Rating: 2 out of 5

Charlotte and Dana Brooke defeated Sasha Banks and Bayley

They turned the WWE Championship match for this weekend into a three way dance. I live in Indianapolis, and will not be attending at all. Oh well. This match wasn’t bad, but it was far from good as well. It featured the same spots as before, and it seemed a little rushed to me. Dana and Charlotte would get the win, and that’s it.

Match Rating: 2 out of 5

Chris Jericho Throws Logic Out of the Window

Chris Jericho came out to put people on his list of grievances. One minute he is writing off everyone on the roster, then joins those same idiots as part of a tag team! What the hell?

Raw Tag Team Champions The New Day, Sami Zayn, Enzo Amore & Big Cass def. Chris Jericho, Luke Gallows, Karl Anderson & The Shining Stars

A fun match, nothing to write home about though. I was tired, but this match was even more tired. They all phoned it in, with the spots you’d expect from a pay per view opener.

Match Rating: 2 out of 5

Brian Kendrick defeated Gran Metalik, Cedric Alexander and Rich Swann

The winner would get a title shot this weekend, and I loved it. I loved how the match was paced, and I like how Kendrick looked strong amidst the others. I did notice that the move sets were toned down. Turns out, that the WWE has asked these guys to tone down the jumps and what not. After a full classic tournament where the guys were flying around the ring, they are muted already? Whatever. Look for the division to get more of a Chavo Guerrero style wrestling program rather than what you saw in the CWC.

Roman Reigns defeated Kevin Owens in a Steel Cage Match

Here’s the thing. The announce team kept talking about how Kevin Owens was a coward for trying to escape. But Roman Reigns wins by escape!?! What the hell? Where is the logic? Then Seth Rollins comes out to save Roman Reigns for a beat down? Why? WHY DOES SETH ROLLINS CARE? Seriously, what does he care if Roman Reigns is getting a beat down? WHAT THE HELL?

Match Rating: 2 out of 5

Monday Night Raw made absolutely no sense. Seriously, it made no sense for Seth Rollins, it made no sense to have sexual tension between Stephanie McMahon and Seth Rollins, it was a crap show with a crap build for their pay per view this weekend. I almost bought a ticket, I’m glad I did not. What a load of garbage.

WWE Monday Night Raw August 22, 2016 Results and Review: Rollins Is Unsafe

The Shining Spot for WWE This Week

Monday Night Raw has come and gone, and people were wondering what was going to be the fall out from Summerslam. Well, what you’re going to end up seeing is a lot more of the same old BS that made the old era, well, tired. This time around the show opened up with Finn Balor giving up the WWE Fruit Roll Up Title to Seth Rollins. It should be noted that Bret Hart said on a podcast that Seth is UNSAFE and he injures people.

Everyone had their panties in a bunch, and then the Summerslam match happened. As soon as I saw Rollins throw Balor into the barricade, I knew he was injured. I called it on twitter, I called it in my house, and yet NO ONE GAVE ME CREDIT. That’s how big my site is. Whatever. I called it first, and you can believe me or not, but Seth Rollins is unsafe, and should be fired. The guy sucks. He injured Finn Balor, he injured John Cena, he caused Sting to retire. They fired Ken Kennedy for less. Whatever. Here’s what happened on Raw, I only saw the HULU edition, and am still upset over the lackluster showing at Summerslam this year. What a crock of dog…never mind.

As you know I don’t run down everything that happens, I just talk about what I remember and what was actually worthwhile, so here we go.

Seth Rollins def. Sami Zayn to advance to next week's Fatal 4-Way WWE Universal Championship Match

Sami Zayn got injured in this match, or at least faked it, but you know what was funny? The commentary team kept mentioning that Seth Rollins injures people. Good job, play it up you putz. I hate the commentary on Raw. Anyways, this match wasn’t half bad, but you knew that Sami was not going to beat Rollins. The whole night was predictable, and that kind of sours the whole pro-wrestling thing for me sometimes. Rollins wins after the predictable pedigree, and that’s it. Nothing to see here. Zayn may or may not have hurt his ankle. Does it matter?

Match Rating: 3 out of 5

Bayley def. Dana Brooke

Bayley finally comes to the main roster, only to take the place of Sasha Banks, who is legit injured. People were saying it was a wellness violation, but it’s not, she’s just injured. She’ll be back in a month or so. Bayley, for now is going to match up well against Charlotte, but will not win. Dana Brooke put the boots to Bayley, but it was Bayley’s night to shine, so the match went well enough. Feminazis on twitter are going to hate that this match wasn’t the main event or even longer than about 10 minutes. I can already see them hating the divas revolution.

Match Rating: 3 out of 5

The Club Sandwich Boys beat up The Dudley Boys

The Dudleys are either kayfabe retiring, or they did not renew their contracts with WWE. They are a joke team now. The Club Sandwich guys showed up to beat up The Dudleys, but I don’t care about them. Oh and the Puerto Rican guys were out there to talk trash, only to get beat up as well. Overall bad segment.

Roman Reigns def. Chris Jericho to advance to next week’s Fatal 4-Way WWE Universal Championship Match

I knew the winner before it started. Roman wins. He’ll get to the main event spot, he’ll win, I am going back to sleep.

Match Rating: 2 out of 5

Final Raw Notes

In the end, Raw sucked. You know it, I know it, and everyone at the building knew it. One shining moment doesn’t make for 3 hours of fun. No mention of Brock Lesnar, or the fact that he doesn’t care about wrestling and just makes money. Also, no signs of Randy Orton, but maybe he’ll be on Smackdown to declare it’s the end of his career. Who cares, who knows, this is all a bunch of BS.

Even the HULU edition of Raw sucked this week. Maybe Smackdown will be better, I don’t know. We’ll see.

42 WTF Moments From 5/25/2016 By King Ross

Sorry I was late on this, but hey, I have to make a living.

Here are 42 WTF moments from Raw 5/25/2016, and well, enjoy after the jump.

WWE Announces Brand Split - Not A Joke

WWE really knows how to make people mad.

This morning they announced that starting in July, WWE Smackdown will go live.

Not only that, there will be a draft, and brand split.

Holy crap.

No one wants this.

I don't have the words, but remember the last time there was a brand split?

Brian Zane From Wrestling With Wregret put it best.

I am going on record that I DO NOT WANT A SPLIT nor do I want to do this.

WWE Monday Night Raw 4/5/2016 The Night After Wrestlemania 32 Results and Review

Here we go, American Airlines arena in Dallas, Raw! This is an incredible night right? Well, this review is based on the 90 minute version of the show since I don’t have cable, and watch this show via HULU. Yep. Images source wwe.com.

WWE Monday Night Raw 4/5/2016 Review

Vince McMahon showed up to start things off, and the crowd was absolutely hot. He told people to enjoy the show, and then came out Shane McMahon! Shane came out and said thank you, and goodbye.

But, that’s not enough for Vinnie Mac. He said, “NO ONE OUTSTAGES ME”, so he went on a tirade as Shane McMahon was walking away.

The turn about? Shane McMahon will be running Monday Night Raw tonight! The crowd exploded!

The New Day defeated The League of Nations in a Tag Team Title Match

This wasn’t just a rehash of last night. It was a fast paced, easy going match, with a few spots, but mostly a telegraphed New Day victory. It wasn’t half bad, but you knew this was going to go the way of the New Day. They retain the titles.

Post match, The League of Nations Brogue (or as I call the BRO) kicked Wade Barrett out of the group. This was interrupted by The Wyatt family! They brawled! This wasn’t half bad, but it’s not much of a statement in my view.

Vince left this show and said it was going to be a disaster. The editing of Raw was odd, to say the least.

Apollo Crews defeated Tyler Breeze

This was a clinic, wow, Crews is very good and crisp in the ring. Tyler Breeze got buried, absolutely buried. He’s on his way out, he has to be. His gimmick is terrible, he gets losses, he can’t possibly be getting a push forward. Crews, wow, what a specimen and what an arsenal of moves. A good overall debut, squash, but hey it was entertaining at least. I liked it.

Roman Reigns came out to a chorus of boos, and you know, good reason. No one wanted him as champion. Reigns cut a cool promo, where he didn’t cater to the boos, and then said he’d beat the crap out of anyone that came out to the ring.

Chris Jericho showed up, and rightfully so, he’s on a roll. He demanded a title shot, but was interrupted by AJ Styles! Man, I love this guy, this was a good segment, with Reigns just watching the two banter about who gets a shot. Kevin Owens showed up as well, and he said he wanted a shot as well! Holy crap! Then Sami Zayn showed up! This crowd absolutely exploded, and my house was rocking too, all 5 of my cats were going nuts for Zayn! This ended in a melee, where Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens fought, then Styles and Jericho fought, but it ended with Roman Reigns spearing Jericho! This may very well lead to an elimination chamber match, I think. We’ll see what happens, this was a good segment overall.

Zack Ryder came out and the Miz showed up to demanded a title shot.

The Miz got his title shot right away, and boom, the match started right after this promo. I liked this, I love fighting champions.

The Miz defeated Zack Ryder for the Intercontinental Championship

The Miz and Zack Ryder had an ok match, but it really got good when Ryder’s dad (front row ringside) got involved. He pushed The Miz, and that caused Maryse to come out and slap Ryder’s dad, and it served as enough distraction for The Miz to get the Skull Crushing Finale to get through and pin Ryder. New Champion!

The formal presentation of the Women’s Title was really cool, and Lita, wow she’s beautiful. This ended with all the women leaving Charlotte inside the ring alone to throw a tantrum. It ended with Natalya getting into fisticuffs with the champion. This should set up the next feud.

The Dudleys defeated The Usos in a tables match

This was a cool match, as The Usos are exciting to watch. However, this time it was the Dudleys won big time. I liked it. The Dudleys pushed through and won this one, and I loved seeing the finish with the Usos going down through 3 tables!

Speaking of tables, backstage Sami Zayn was doing an interview and was interrupted by Kevin Owens! Owens power bombed Sami Zayn through a table! Man this is getting good.

Enzo and Cass came out and blew the roof off the building, and I was marking out huge bro! The Dudleys got trashed on the mic, and it was great. What a way to debut a team. I’m glad that the WWE is pushing up new guys, and these guys are definitely fun to watch.

Zayn could not compete, so Shane McMahon put in a replacement. I thought it was going to be Triple H, but it wasn’t. It was CESARO! That’s right Cesaro is back!

Aj Styles defeated Chris Jericho, Kevin Owens, and Cesaro in a fatal four way for the number one contendership

This was a 4 star classic for me. Everyone fought hard, everyone had spots, everyone nearly won, but it was Aj Styles that got the victory here and he will be the first one to challenge Roman Reigns for the WWE title! This is huge! AJ STYLES!

Great overall Raw, even if it was only the HULU edition. I loved it.

CM Punk said it right. When he left, us wrestling fans would be stuck with Vince McMahon’s dufus son in law and idiot daughter. That’s how we open Raw, and that’s what you’re going to be spoon fed going into Wrestlemania for a match between Triple H and possibly Roman Reigns. I don’t like it, and well, you probably don’t, but let’s make the best of it, right? Here are my thoughts on the HULU edition of Raw, since I don’t have the heart to see 3 hours of a show.

The show opens up with The Idiot Daughter, Vinnie Mac, and the Dufus Son In Law. What is this 1999? Oh well, positivity! Don’t be sour! Ugh.

Opening Segment

Triple H running down Roman Reigns to try and put him over is stupid. This is the same water treaded over and over again from the past. I know history repeats itself, but meh, meh is all I can say. With the sole exception of the fans cheering Trips and chanting Aj Styles. Styles, man, what a catch for the WWE if they don’t bury him with bad gimmicks, and getting pinned by The Big Slow…Show. Tired, that’s what this is.

Kevin Owens defeated Dolph Ziggler (burial)

Kevin Owens buried Dolph Ziggler. Ziggler and Owens had a very short match in which Owens just dominated for the most part. Owens didn’t sell last night’s Rumble beating he took or anything. It is what it is. He’s very good, but it pains me to no end to see Ziggler getting buried yet again. WWE likes to throw out shovels, I guess.

The Dudley Boyz defeated The Social Media Jobbers Outcasts Etc. (burial)

Way to bury more talent WWE. The Dudley Boyz win after Flor Rida has an interaction. Bo Dallas rapping was funny, but the short match that ensued was not. Terrible.

Aj Styles defeated Chris Jericho (sirjorgewwwe's Match of the Night)

This was not a 4 star classic. However, Styles absolutely blew away the critics. The missed Frog Splash had so much air, it was insane. The reversal finish roll up sequence, although short, was genius, and Jericho versus Styles can’t be over. These two are destined to have a serious amount of matches, with Styles getting the final rub, and probably his first loss to Jericho in the near future. Whatever the case may be, Aj Styles definitely showcased professionalism, and that he belongs in the WWE.

Sasha Banks versus Becky Lynch (No Contest)

Charlotte interfered in this match. But what got me was the commentary. JBL goes, “look at that hair Michael. It’s red, purple, the ref is bald, it’s like Muppets. Muppets in the ring”. Oh F YOU JBL! You just ruined the epic 2 minute or so match that the divas had. Ugh. Same old BS from WWE and their women’s division.

Bray Wyatt defeated Kane

Why hasn’t Kane retired? Bray Wyatt wins, Kane loses, this is a tired match we already saw 100 times before. The only thing that could be worse is if we saw Roman Reigns battle The Big Show again. This is a horrendous edition of Raw so far, and I’m trying to be positive.

The Rock Returning IS NOT AWESOME

The Rock is a part time, if that, former wrestler. He’s hijacked Wrestlemania main events, he’s beaten top stars, and now he’s back? I’m sick of this guy. You’re telling me that with so many up and coming talents on the WWE roster, you can’t give them more time? There’s SO many wrestlers that get no time at all, but instead, you bring the Rock out to talk. WWE is not a wrestling company. The Rock sucks, I don’t think he’s necessary for 2016, but hey, I’m just a dude on a random blog writing about fake fighting to an audience of nobody.

The New Day segment was cool, but having The Rock bury them is not the best way to put them over, or is it? Maybe it is, what do I know. This HULU edition is awful.

Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns defeated Sheamus and Rusev

This is illogical. Reigns and Ambrose win, don’t get me wrong. It was expected. Even with Barrett and Alberto Del Rio at ring side, they win? What the hell? Ok, I’ll be ok with it. Rusev goes through the announce table, and then out comes the idiot daughter. This is where logic gets thrown out the window.

Earlier in the show, the premise was that the Authority would pick the main event participants based on who could impress them. Well, the main event for Fast Lane should be based on the participants in matches from the night, right? NOPE! It will be Brock Lesnar versus Dean Ambrose versus Roman Reigns. Oh who the hell cares at this point. Triple H will face Roman Reigns, and that’s that. Same old BS.

Just when you think it was over, consider this meme, because well, that’s what is happening right now. Not a great Raw, not a great post-Rumble event. Remember, this was the HULU version, I may have missed matches. So yeah.
