WWE Raw Review 3/4/13 - Old School Raw.......

Note: This is Old School WWE Raw. They went back to the old school format. Old logo and everything. This is deemed the gimmie show but I hope we see something cool or something different. I want to see if Undertaker comes back. I want to see something good. I also hope we will see something to setup Wrestlemania. Here's old school WWE Raw.

Opening Segment: Undertaker is shown before the show starts. CM Punk, RKO, Sheamus, and Big Show all come out to challenge the Undertaker for WM 29 and beat the streak.
(Best opening segment ever. Not only want to see all these men fight but their arguements to face the Dead Man is valid. I wanted to see something different and this is different. Taker is 20-0 at WM. No streak is as important as this one. I know who is going to win but I also hope to see this play out.)

Match#1: Antonio Cesaro vs. Ryback
Winner: Ryback
(Same match, different day. Nothing to see here except for the exchange with Ryback and Mark Henry. )

Match#2: Mark Henry vs. Zack Ryder
Winner: Mark Henry
(This was a squash match. Like I said before: Thank you Ryback for stepping up to Mark Henry.)

Match#3: Dolph Ziggler w/ AJ Lee and Big E vs. The Miz w/ Ric Flair
Winner: The Miz
(This was a good match to say the least. With Flair there it was funny. Good match and good way to bring in Flair. Big E is funny to see. Good match and good ending.)

Match#4: Jack Swagger vs. Hacksaw Jim Duggan w/ Dusty Rhodes and Sgt. Slaughter.
Winner: No Contest
(Swagger beat up all the old men. Moving on because this angle with Swagger is just racist and bigoted. Moving on.)

Match#5: Team Hell No vs. Prime Time Players
At Ringside: Million Dollar Man Ted DiBiase
Winner: Team Hell No
(The match was ok but Ted DiBiase made it funny at the end of the match. Typical match with these men. Nothing new except for Million Dollar Man being there. Daniel Bryan took $100. )

Match#6: Brodus Clay, Sweet T. (Tensai), and Honky Tonk Man vs. 3MB
Winner: Brodus Clay, Sweet T. (Tensai), and Honky Tonk Man
(This was the worst match ever. I loved seeing Honky Tonk Man but Sweet T. Hell no. Tensai is about to leave and I hope he does not come back to WWE. 3MB is a fucking joke as well. Moving on. )

Match#7: Fandango vs. Kofi Kingston
Winner: No Contest
(Thank you Johnny for wasting my time. Fucking bullshit gimmick.)

Match#8: Alberto Del Rio vs. Wade Barrett
Winner: Alberto Del Rio
(This was a good match to see again. Nothing new to see about this match.)

Match#9: New Age Outlaws vs. Primo and Epico
Winner: New Age Outlaws
(This was the shit right here. No DX but we got the best team of the attitude era. Good match. Both old men can go still. Epico and Primo are jokes.)

Main Event: Randy Orton vs. Sheamus vs. Big Show vs. CM Punk - Fatal Four Way to face Undertaker @ WM 29
Winner: CM Punk

After The Match: Undertaker comes out to a face to face confrontation with CM Punk.
(Best ending ever on Raw!!!! Not only was I right to guess who won but seeing Taker is making me happy to see WM 29. Also happy to see something better than bullshit. Thank you WWE for this glimpse of happiness.)


Final Thought: I did not talk about Cena/Rock II or Triple H/Brock II but that will come later. This show was better than expected. No real bullshit except the Sweet T crap. WWE is going to make this a good Wrestlemania to see. We will see good matches and good angles to make the matches more interesting. I don't have a lot to bitch about but then again, Fandango being a pussy and Sweet T is enough to make me fucking pissed. See you all for TNA Impact and the hope to know who is the leader of Aces and Eights.
