WWE Monday Night Raw 12/14/09 Review
Here we go, 3 hours of Raw, and major fallout from TLC which brought us a new champion, and the end of the long time reign of John Cena. Rumors were hot and heavy all day about what was going on, but we’d find out tonight, and of course we’d also have the Slammy Awards, 3 hours, the Slammys and more, here we go with my two cents, a review, or whatever it is I do here. Thanks to NO ONE for buying NOTHING from all my links…sorry…I’m still broke, unemployed, and struggling to pay the cable bill.
Here’s Raw!
Dennis Miller isn’t half bad. However, the crowd was not having it. The announcers were giving some chuckles, so that was interesting.
First up, Jillian Hall and R Truth came out to give out the first set of Slammy Awards. They were giving away the tag team Slammy, and the winner was:
Chris Jericho & The Big Show
I guess so. These guys were pretty dominant all year, but were they better than the rest? Yeah, why not? Jericho got some decent heat and Big Show looked ok in that huge suit he was wearing. I’m surprised DX didn’t win, considering they are the title holders right now.
William Regal and his cronies were in ring yelling at Christian, about who he picked to wrestle tonight. Christian looked terrible, but he is going to wrestle the ECW heels, and who were his partners? Oh yeah, Kane and The Great Khali!
The Great Khali, Kane & Christian defeated William Regal, Kozlov, and Ezekiel Jackson
This match was pretty standard, and overall it wasn’t anything to talk about at length. The big men got in there, but it was Kane and Khali that really mounted to greater good in the match, and after a short fight the Punjabi Playboy Great Khali picked up the win. This match wasn’t terrible, but it wasn’t necessarily anything too good. It’s understandable, considering Christian was completely fried from his match with Shelton Benjamin last night on TLC.
The Slammy for best new star, and out came Tiffany and Teddy Long, and the winner is:
Sheamus
Wow, Sheamus wins the title and now he’s breakout star? Whatever. He’s ok. He’s still a footnote to me.
Kofi Kingston defeated Cody Rhodes via disqualification
Wow, Cody Rhodes in a singles match up? Kofi Kingston’s shoulder and arm was taped up, but he would still fight a fresh member of Legacy. Kofi got some moves in, but the match was immediately finished with a disqualification after Ted Dibiase ran in.
However, Dennis miller announced a new slammy award, and the match was rest to be a tag team after Evan Bourne ran down for the save.
Best Announcement by a Guest Host for restarting a match after disqualification:
Dennis Miller
Legacy defeated Evan Bourne & Kofi Kingston
Evan Bourne was hitting big during this match, getting some great spots in. Legacy isolated Kofi’s arm and were on the hunt to injure him, but it was Cody Rhodes with his Crossroads finisher on Bourne that got the win for his team. Overall, not a terrible match, but the finish seemed a bit rush, so it was interesting to see how it finished.
Another Slammy Award was going to be presented, this time by Santino and Vickie Guerrero. They would present the award for Shocker of the Year, and the winner is:
Shocker of the Year: CM Punk for retiring Jeff Hardy
John Cena defeated Cm Punk in a superstar of the year tournament match
Apparently there was a tournament to see who would be superstar of the year. This match seemed like they were giving away a nice ppv match up, but oh well. Punk was fast and hitting Cena with a lot of heavy lumber early on, he slowed it down and tried to get John Cena into a series of rest holds, creating an opening for the GTS. However, Cena countered out of the series of moves, and even turned the GTS into a STF and Punk tapped out. John Cena defeated CM Punk in less than 5 minutes, after losing the title in a tables match!
Wow, WWE really buries CM Punk, way to go WWE, way to bury your talent. Cena showed NO fatigue, as if he didn’t wrestle last night.
John Cena cut a promo, a crazy promo about true believers in Cena. Lame. He needs to turn heel.
The slammy for match of the year, was up next and it was given by Triple H, and the winner is:
Shawn Michaels vs The Undertaker at Wrestlemania this year
I think this was not evaluated evenly. Honestly, this past year, I only remember a few great matches. I would’ve picked Ziggler vs Mysterio, their first match, in which Ziggler nearly broke Rey Mysterio in half with a gut buster. If you saw it, you know exactly what I’m talking about.
Randy Orton defeated The Undertaker in a superstar of the year tournament match by countout
I already saw an Orton and Undertaker feud. I was at Wrestlemania in Los angeles, and these two put on a good overall match, but Orton is a different guy now. The Underatker? He’s the same, just older and dare I say, slower? I don’t know, he’s just not as good as he used to be, and it could be due to age. Michael Cole said “vintage” again, and Lawler made him aware of that. I’m sick of hearing “vintage”. This match was short, and had interference, although minor, by Legacy. Legacy ended up distracting the Undertaker for a countout loss. This match sucked.
But what was the kicker, and the worst thing that came out of this tournament was that once again we had to watch John Cena and Randy Orton wrestle! That’s right, Orton and Cena wrestled again! Man I’m so sick of that match, I hope I never have to see them wrestle each other ever again, EVER!
The next Slammy award was set up, and out came Vince McMahon, and the winner is:
Bob Barker
Vince McMahon asked Dennis Miller who he would book for guest host, and in what seemed like an adlibbed segment, Miller said that they should get Bret Hart to host. McMahon, dejected, walked away after basically saying that, there was NO chance.
Chris Jericho and The Big Show defeated Degeneration X via disqualification
This match started off with nothing major. Then Triple H pushed the ref, while Shawn Michaels was behind him, causing a disqualification! Then Dx got on the mic, and Triple H made sure to mention that it was the rematch that is available to Big Show and Chris Jericho.
Dx then had the raw locker room come out and force Chris Jericho out of the building. It was a nice segment, and Jericho is off of Raw, I guess.
The next Slammy was presented by Carlito, Eve, and Chris Masters, it was fro most Extreme Moment, and the winner is:
Jeff Hardy for his Summerslam moment
Carlito attacked Matt Hardy and stole the Slammy from Matt, but was put into the Master Lock and then was hit by Hardy.
John Morrison, Yoshi Tatsu, Mark Henry defeated Drew McIntyre, The Miz, and Zack Ryder
This was seemingly a fast match up, and it had Yoshi getting the pinfall win over Ryder. There’s not much to this match up, at all. Seriously, this match was terrible.
Mickie James, Maria, The Bella Twins, Kelly Kelly, Gail Kim, and Melina defeated Michelle McCool, Layla, Rosa Mendez, Natalya, Beth Phoenix, Maryse, and Alicia Fox
The divas were all in night gowns, and they still managed to wrestle in them. I’m not sure how or why they did this, but this match was less than 5 minutes, and only 2 women actually wrestled. It was a waste of time, and I’m not sure why the wwe continues to push women like this…terrible.
The slammy for diva of the year was to be presented next by MVP and Goldust, and the winner is:
Maria
Batista interrupted and said he got robbed last night. Security came out and got escorted off the stage.
Abraham Washington, Big Dick Johnson, and Tony Atlas were presenting the next slammy award, and it was for the Oh My! Moment of the Year:
Michael Cole for vomiting
John Cena defeated Randy Orton to win the Superstar of the Year Slammy Award
This match was standard, it was just John Cena and Randy Orton again. The two tried to make it somewhat interesting, but overall it was just Cena who had to go over. Cena is like super man, and that was the end of the show.
Overall not a terrible Raw; 3 hours, is a bit much unless you have more matches. That’s how I felt.
