WWE Raw Review 3/5/12



Note: This is the week that Teddy Long takes over and become GM for one night. This is going to be the best or worse WWE Raw of 2012. This will also be another week of seeing the Rock and John Cena battle of words. I know there is alot going on in this show but I cannot wait to see what happens. So here's WWE Raw with GM Teddy Long......

Match#1: U.S. Title Match - Santino Marella vs. Jack Swagger
Winner: Santino Marella – New U.S. Champ!
(This match had everyone involved. Johnny Ace, David Otunga, Vikki Guerrero, Dolph Ziggler, Teddy Long, Aksana, and even Kofi Kingston. This was a quick but exciting match to start off WWE Raw. I marked out that Santino is becoming a mid card version of a triple crown champ. This was a setup for tonight’s theme.)

Match#2: Eve vs. Alicia Fox
Winner: Eve in like 10 seconds.
(This was a quick match but it did set up a possible feud with Eve and Kelly Kelly. Even Zack Ryder came out to call Eve a Hoeski. Thank you Zack for being a tool for Vince but I hope to see him wrestle soon. Eve is being used to show her new persona, a total bitch!)

Match#3: Daniel Bryan & Chris Jericho vs. CM Punk and Sheamus
Winners: Y2J and Daniel Bryan
(This was a match setup by Teddy Long. This had both champs and challengers in the match. This was a good way to end the first hour of WWE Raw. There was people all over the place. The ending was typical because it sets up the WWE Title match between Y2J and CM Punk.)

Match#4: Big Show vs. The Miz
Winner: Big Show by KO
(WMD is starting to grow on me because I like how Big Show is using this as a way not to do anything else. Mark Henry sold that punch like if Jesus told him to. The Miz looked ok in the match but got popped like a zit. Cody Rhodes did make fun of Big Show but Show did shut him up. )

Match#5: Kane vs. R-Truth
Winner: Kane by chokeslam
(RKO gave a RKO to Kane. I guess they are going to start a feud. I hope Kane will try to hear all the other voices that RKO hears. R-Truth does get the assist for helping RKO by distracting Kane after the match. )

Other News: The show opened with HBK and Triple H talking about WM 28 and Taker. Basically, HBK is going to be the ref between Triple H and Taker. So either Taker is getting screwed or HBK might turn on HBK again. Either way, this might be a good match for WM 28. Also during the U.S. Title match, before the end, we got a huge clusterfuck that lead to Santino getting the win. The Rock gave us a history lesson to John Cena with some funny but also sad commentary about John Cena. John Cena is now acting like this is his time to shine. The Rock is getting more serious and John Cena is getting to make me feel like he’s going to lose.

Final Thoughts: Only five match and mostly talk. I feel like I got screwed. I know they are hyping up WM 28 but damn, what the fuck! One diva match! We got mostly talking because we are gearing up for WM 28. I guess I will wait for Smackdown or Impact for some more matches and action and less talking. That’s all for my review of this show. I hope Smackdown or even Impact has more to offer. See you guys on Thursday……
