The Divas fought in a Triple Threat Baywatch Triple Threat Tag Team Match

WWE Monday Night Raw 4/12/10 Review

David Hasselhoff opened up the show, and it got the crowd going, that’s for sure.

Eve defeated Maryse for the divas title

This match sucked. The best part was definitely Eve’s picture perfect Moonsault, which she missed. Eve won with a nice bridge roll up pinning combination. This was a short match, and a terrible one at that.

The Miz defeated DH Smith

Brett Hart came and talked to the champions and got DH Smith a match. If Smith won against the Miz the Hart Dynasty would get a title shot at Extreme Rulez.

The match wasn’t all that great, and I still can’t believe the Miz is getting over. Smith managed his own, but it was a majority of Miz offense that was getting center stage. I thought that Miz would lose here, but nope.

Next week, Bret Hart has to proclaim that Miz and Show are the greatest tag team ever.

This match wasn’t that good, and really did nothing to further the Hart Dynasty as a team. It’s just a matter of time before the two of those idiots become single wrestlers. You just wait.

David Otunga was backstage bantering with Batista and he ran into The Hoff for some funny bits. He put Otunga into a match with John Cena.

Evan Bourne defeated Carlito

These guys are still employed/ Carlito won this match and Carlito barely put up a fight. The match was watchable, but it wasn’t all that great. I’m tired of seeing lackluster wrestling on Raw. I remember the good ol days…when matches took time.

John Cena defeated David Otunga

Wow, Otunga has a match on Raw and has to wrestle John Cena! Honestly, I don’t dislike Otunga, and think he might actually get a contract. This match was all John Cena, it wasn’t even close, Otunga was forced to tap out fast.

Serious Batista was on the ramp, and got called out by John Cena. Batista started to walk down, but instead he decided to just stay on the ramp.

Kofi Kingston defeated Sheamus via disqualification

Remember when Kofi Kingston was actually important? It seems like a few months of botches has left Kofi getting squashed by Sheamus. Sure it was kind of competitive, but overall, it was Kingston that got the short end of the stick in this match. Sheamus was made to look way stronger than Kofi in this match, even though Kofi has more experience in the spotlight. I guess that’s just what happens….sigh. Not a good match, barely watchable. I’m not behind Sheamus at all. I don’t like him. Kofi did manage some offense, don’t get me wrong, but it just was going nowhere, and I could tell.

Post match, Sheamus beat up Kingstom some more. Kingston won, but come on, dq and a post match beat down? Sheamus really tore through Kingston, which was lame.

Carlito said he’d quit if he didn’t get traded to Smackdown. Kozlov said he’ll destroy McGruber….man I’m tired.

The Divas fought in a Triple Threat Baywatch Triple Threat Tag Team Match

There were three sets of tag teams that wrestled in this throwaway match. Santino was the guest referee, but man, this was just terrible. The Divas are some of the worst women’s wresters in the world. While there was a few moments of actual wrestling, the majority was just stupid, and wreckless. It’s said that even with so many women in the ring, Santino was the highlight. One of the Bella twins won the match, it sucked.

Hornswoggle came out as a lifeguard and did a Splash on Santino.

Randy Orton vs Batista no contest

This slow moving match had a few highlights. Orton is way over with the crowd, and he made this match somewhat interesting to me. Batista looked like he was tired mid-way through the match and was looking for ways to slow things down. Orton was getting hit hard with a lot of different offense, but managed to showcase his speed and agility against the Animal. Orton's viper move set really got a huge pop when he started to look mean against Orton. Batista got drilled with a DDT but he kicked out and made this thing somewhat more interesting. Orton's frustration towards the end of the match and his recoil made the crowd come alive again. Orton hit the RKO and was ready to put this one away, but out came Jack Swagger, and this match was a waste.

Swagger hit the Gutwrench Powerbomb on Orton and just left. What a waste of time...what a waste of time.

John Cena ran into the ring and put the STFU on Batista and wouldn't let go!

WWE Monday Night Raw this night was NOT that good. It was mediocre at best. Batista was out cold at the end, John Cena looked like super man, and I was tired after 4 hours of wrestling.

Was TNA Better tonight?

Heck no.

But Raw wasn't much better either.
