WWE Monday Night Raw 5/24/10 Review

Batista opened the show, and was limping, had his ribs taped and his arm in a sling, with two referees helping him to the ring.

Bret Hart is the new Raw general manager, and he made a match with Batista (in a wheelchair) against Randy Orton. Batista said he’d quit if he was forced to wrestle, and he did. He went on a rant and quit.

I’m not sure where this angle is going, or if Batista is really quitting, but it’s interesting to note, that’s for sure. If Batista quits, fine, I just wish John Cena would quit.

Sheamus defeated Mark Henry

Mark Henry kept playing up his injured shoulder whenever it was convenient. Sheamus didn’t look too strong against the world’s strongest man, but eventually got the win, after Henry’s shoulder started acting up yet again.

Alicia Fox & Maryse defeated Gail Kim & Eve

Another boring divas match with little to no action. Sure there were moments, but nothing I’d like to elaborate, as it all sucked.

R Truth defeated The Miz

R Truth, after a commercial break, launched over the top rope and Miz did NOT catch him, landing on his head! That’s right folks, he landed on his HEAD! I’m surprised the match continued, he was obviously shaken, but he kept going, despite nearly killing himself on live television. The match was quite good, and surprising even. Truth is the new United States champion and the Miz was out cold. I liked this match, it was a rare gem to see a good championship match on Raw.

There was a segment where Jon Lovitz had a talent search, it was terrible; santino came out, some dude with a fake eye was out there, Ted Dibiase came out to buy the eye, it was just a convoluted mess. I’m so sick of the guest host thing on Raw.

The Hart Dynasty defeated Regal & Kozlov

This was just a waste of time. The Hart’s won an easy match up.

Post match, the team was attacked by the son’s of Rikishi and Jimmy Snuka’s daughter, yep, a new tag team.

I read the name online, but I have already forgotten them. I guess there’s a new tag team in town…but does anybody care?

Tomorrow, Michael Cole will demand an apology from Daniel Bryan…or Brian Danielson, whoever shows up.

Edge defeated John Cena and Edge in a triple threat match

This was dumb. It wasn’t a good match, it just seemed like a house show classic, except that Edge won and not Cena. I’m so sick of John Cena, I’m sick of Edge, and while Jericho can be classic, he wasn’t great here. The match wasn’t too long, and was formulaic as all triple threat matches are.

Post match, Sheamus came out and everyone stared each other down before Randy Orton came out, and that’s it. That’s your Raw for Monday night.

I am sick of WWE Raw, I’m sick of wrestling in general. I haven’t been so jaded about wrestling in quite a long time. Maybe it’s a combination of bad wrestling and the fact that I’m dead broke, have no job, and haven’t had a job interview in 8 months. I’ve never been so depressed and maybe it’s seeping through to watching wrestling.
