WWE Raw Review 4/23/12

Note:  I was at this WWE Raw event. This is my first Raw since 2007, and I hope this is better than the one I went to back then. Also, I hated that the early bell time meant I missed the Superstars tapings. I am not going to talk about the Superstars tapings and also I will not talk about the Cena birthday shit. I came to see WWE Raw and only want to see the matches and also the funny shit during the matches. So with that all said, this is WWE Raw from Detroit, MI..........

Opening Segment: Cena and Teddy Long come out to for the contract signing for him and Brock at the Extreme Rules PPV this Sunday. Johnny Ace says it is later and leave the ring. Edge comes out to the loudest pop of the night at JLA. Edge tells Cena to stop being a pussy and fight Brock and beat him. If he don't he will be spitting in the face of guys like HBK, Triple H and Edge himself. Edge leaves and then Cena as well.
(The beginning of WWE Raw live is better to see only because there are more shit going on. Edge was a shock to me but only because Edge is a hockey fan and has said he loves coming to Red Wings games. Also Edge said that he's done with the WWE in two days. That means Edge is fully retired. Cena looked dumb and shocked. This was a good way to start this epic three hour show.)

Match#1: Chris Jericho vs. Kofi Kingston
Winner: Y2J
(This was a good match to see live. Lots of bumps. Kofi had a cheering section but they left as soon as he lost the match. Y2J got the most heel heat of the night because he did say something to literally piss off the fans in Detroit. This was a good match to start the show.)

Match#2: Lord Tensai vs. R-Truth
Winner: Lord Tensai
(This was a dumb match. This match made people left in droves to get food and use the bathroom. Even the kids that was in the little Jimmy section wanted to go home. Moving on.....)

RKO/Kane Segment: Kane comes out to taunt RKO. RKO is on the Tron with Paul Bearer. He puts Bearer in the deep freezer at JLA. Kane doesn't go to get Paul right away.
(Lame segment but funny to see Paul Bearer get froze. However the pyros for Kane did scare the shit out of like three kids near me. Also made a cute young women pee a bit. Never wear white pants out in public.)

Match#3: Big Show and Great Khali vs. Cody Rhodes and Alberto Del Rio
Winners: Big Show and Khali
(Funny match. The new giants of the WWE vs. the little men. Not much to say because I was bored. Only thing was that this kid asked me could Big Show eat a whole cow. I laughed my ass off.)

Brock/Josh Matthews segment: Brock comes to the JLA and was asked some questions by Josh Matthews. He answered the questions and he walks away. Josh says something dumb and Brock damn near kills him.
(This got the most pops for being realistic and funny. We all had bets to see what hospital he would be in and also if he would be out in 29 minutes or less. It's a Detroit thing.)

Match#4: Nikki Bella vs. Beth Phoenix - Divas Title Match
Winner: Nikki Bella (New Champ)
(This was made into a lumberjill match. All the divas coming out just made all the men in the crowd pop louder than when Edge came out. The Bellas look skinny as hell in person. Beth looks hot in person. The match was ok until Beth possibly broke her ankle. So we have a new champ. Good for now.)

CM Punk/Y2J Field Sobriety Test Segment: Y2J gives CM Punk a liquor basket. CM Punk gives it to Josh Matthews. Alex Riley comes to tell Y2J that he saw CM Punk drinking. He goes to Johnny Ace and have CM Punk do a sobriety test and if he's drunk then he loses his title. Punk fails at first but he does everything right and beats up Y2J.
(This was a good segment. Nothing else can be said about this segment because it made sense and nothing was botched. Also because most of this segment was done with no errors.)

Match#5: Mark Henry vs. Sheamus - Non Title Match
Winner: Mark Henry with an assist to Daniel Bryan
(DB was the ref in this match. Quick match with a quick three count. So this will be a quick comment. The WHC title match is going to be fun to watch this Sunday.)

Match#6: Zack Ryder and Santino Marella vs. The Colons - Non Title Match
Winners: Zack and Santino
(Funny match. Quick match. Zack wins and so does Santino. I like seeing those guys and in person it was worth it. )

Match#7: Brodus Clay and Hornswoggle vs. Dolph Ziggler and Jack Swaggler
Winners: Brodus Clay and Hornswoggle
(Another funny and quick match. Vikki was funny at the end. Moving on.......)

Brock/Cena contract signing final segment and happy birthday John Cena segment.
(I am glad to see Cena get beat by the Rock and probably Brock this weekend. This was a great way to end the TV show. Cena is going to be a heel or get some thing new. I left after this and did not care to sing happy birthday to Cena.)


Final Thoughts:  CM Punk acting drunk and also seeing some of my favorite guys and gals was worth the price of admission. There was more going on between the commercial breaks and also before WWE Raw started. This was the best WWE Raw I have ever seen this year. No much else to say but see you all for TNA Impact.
