WWE Raw Review 8/6/12

Note: After watching last week's WWE Smackdown, I guess WWE Raw will have more action since it is three hours. Three hours of WWE Raw is going to get use to. I hope we get to see more matches and less drama. Here's WWE Raw........

Opening Segment: Recaps of Last Week's WWE Raw.
(That just wasted like five minutes of my life. Why do I need a recap? Also with it being three hours, just get to some action. Less talking about the past.)

Match#1: CM Punk vs. Rey Mysterio
Winner: CM Punk
(This would have been a good match but I have seen this match before. I don't forget matches like the WWE thinks I am suppose to. This is still a good match. I like how CM Punk is now starting the show. Why is WWE champs starting the show? Really? This is why CM Punk is about to be heel. He is not getting respected.)

Match#2: Christian vs. Alberto Del Rio
Winner: Alberto Del Rio
(This was a total sqaush. Christian is going back to mid card hell. ADR is getting more heat. I just want to know why is ADR is wrestling in the first hour. Just like CM Punk and Sheamus, what the fuck? WWE is pissing me off with their big stars beginning the show. This was a squash.)

Match#3: Randy Orton vs. Big Show
Winner: No Contest/Double Count Out
(OMG! No matter what, RKO can make a good match better. Big Show made this match good as well. This should have ended cleanly. RKO and Big Show have wrestled before but this is the best match they had in years. I cannot wait to see RKO as champion again. Same goes for Big Show before he retires.)

Match#4: Ryback vs. Tyler Reks and Curt Hawkins
Winner: Ryback
(I am trying to like Ryback. I can't. This is like Goldberg. I feel sorry for Hawkins and Reks because they are jobbing to a bigger jobber. This is sad.)

Match#5: Primo and Epico vs. Titus O'Neil and Darren Young
Winners: Primo and Epico
(I am confused. Which team is suppose to face the champs and which is suppose to be the jobbers? This is confusing. Also why did AW say the dumb shit he says. This is why WWE has a shitty tag team division. Just go back to putting guys together and win the titles. Also just change the titles like they do theme songs.)

Match#6: Brodus Clay vs. Damien Sandow
Winner: No One/Did not start.
(This is worse than Ryback. I was liking Clay but now he got kids in the ring with him. What the fuck? Sandow is the Genius but more douchy. This match did not start because Sandow took him out before the match. I did not see the end because I changed the channel.)

Match#7: Kelly Kelly vs. Eve Torres
Winner: Kelly Kelly
(I love wrestling. I love women wrestling. This was bullshit! KK cannot wrestle! Eve cannot wrestle! So this was just two women flailing around in the ring. This was a bad match to watch. TNA can put on a better womens match.)


Special Note/In Ring: WWE Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels to a big pop from the hometown crowd. Shawn thanks the fans for allowing him to be part of history once again - RAW 1000. He talks about the DX reunion, calling it priceless. Shawn says he's just fine on his ranch but when he heard RAW was coming to San Antonio, there was no way he could miss it. Shawn says the more things change, the more they stay the same. He talks about new faces backstage but the one thing that's the same is the talk. Shawn says everyone is talking about the confrontation at SummerSlam between Triple H and Brock Lesnar. Lesnar's music interrupts and out he comes with Paul Heyman. Heyman takes the mic and says everyone wants to know Shawn's opinion of the match. Heyman calls Shawn the greatest in-ring entertainer in WWE history. Heyman says Lesnar isn't going to SummerSlam as an entertainer. He's not going to entertain with Triple H. Brock doesn't care about entertaining. Lesnar is going to SummerSlam to fight Triple H and to prove once again that he's the baddest dude on the planet today, Heyman says. The crowd chants for HBK. Heyman moves to the apron as Lesnar gets ready to fight. Triple H stands beside Shawn and also gets ready. Lesnar laughs and takes the mic. He points at Triple H and tells him he will see him at SummerSlam. Lesnar points at Shawn next and says he will see him before then. Lesnar leaves the ring with Heyman as Triple H and HBK look on. The crowd chants "you suck" as Lesnar smiles back at the ring.
(First HBK/HHH are united against Taker for WM28 now we got them united against Brock. This match for SummerSlam is going to be shit. I wish this would end soon. I do love seeing HBK back in the ring. I love seeing the old school WWE people. However, I hate how WWE writers make this shit so fucking dumb.)

Match#8: Dolph Ziggler vs. Alex Riley
Winner: Alex Riley
(Holy shit! A-Ry won a match. Y2J saw this match up close and helped A-Ry win. This was a match suited for Superstars not for Raw. Dolph is going to be a champion but I hope it is a major title not for a fucking mid card title. )

Match#9: Kane vs. The Miz
Winner: Kane
(This was a good match for the mid carders. Both these guys had titles and glory. Both these guys can do magic in the ring. So why are these guys being punished? Another reason why WWE loves to kill people's character. Kane is now a face in a mask. The Miz is a title holder. However, this made them look bad.)

Main Event: Daniel Bryan vs. John Cena
Winner: John Cena
(Same Cena match, different person. This was boring. Also why is Cena the main event but CM Punk is the the title holder? What the fuck?)

After the main event: CM Punk's music hits and out comes the WWE Champion. Punk hits the ring where Cena waits. Punk holds up the WWE Title. Cena points at it and here comes Big Show. Cena sees him first and pushes Punk out of the way. Cena goes at it with Show and blocks a chokeslam. Cena scoops Show for an AA but Punk gets up and knocks them both over. Cena grabs a headset on commentary and says maybe it's his fault that people have disrespected him because he let them. Punk says he's been smiling, kissing babies and making people happy but from here on out, he does what he does best. RAW ends the same way the last two did, the WWE Champion standing tall and proving that he's the best wrestler in the world, Punk declares. Punk goes back in the ring and tries to kick Big Show but Show lays him out with a knockout punch. Cena gets up and Show knocks him out also. Show gets hype and raises the WWE Title. Show's music hits as he puts the belt over his shoulder and we go to replays. RAW goes off the air with Show holding the WWE Title up high.
(At least the ending was better than the match itself. Big Show is getting better with age. CM Punk is becoming a joke because of Cena. This is better for an ending but I am still pissed.)


Final Thoughts: This was a shitty show. Everything was predicatble. I hated that the champ is being used in the beginning not at the end. If this was back in the day, Hogan would have had a fit. I guess I will just blow this off and move on to TNA. So until Thursday, see you all for TNA Impact.
