Note: Well we start the new wrestling week. Even though TNA had a PPV last night and basically the attendance was shitty and the matches were 50/50. I said my peace with TNA and will bring it up on Thursday. This is Monday! So we shift gears to the second PPV from WWE in this month - Hell In A Cell. So we know that we will see the contract signing with Daniel Bryan and Randy Orton. We will see more bullshit from WWE about Cena coming back. We will see hype from CM Punk about his match. This is the only show where the hype is better than the matches. I hope I am wrong. Here's WWE Raw.
Match#1: Daniel Bryan vs. Dean Ambrose
Winner: Daniel Bryan
(This was actually a good way to start the show. I said it before about these men wrestling and will say it again - this was a good wrestling match. Seen these guys wrestle in the indys and loved this match. This will be a future title match in two years. I did forget that Daniel Bryan was in a title match this weekend because this was a title match to me. )
Match#2: Santino Marella vs. Heath Slater
Winner: Santino Marella
(THIS WAS THE DUMBEST MATCH EVER!!!!!!!!! WHAT THE FUCK WAS THE POINT OF THIS SHIT!!!!!!!! I want wrestling not pandering to the fans. Just because they are in Memphis they had to do Elvis jokes. WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!!!!!!)
Match#3: Dolph Ziggler vs. Randy Orton
Winner: Randy Orton
(I will be honest with you all: This was not as bad as last time. At least this was not bad because Ziggler can sell anything. The sad thing is that this could be a title match in the making. Why? Well we all know that Ziggler is never going to be WWE champ but he will be WHC. Just like Bryan's match, this was a warm up to their fight at the PPV this weekend.)
Match#4: The Bella Twins vs. AJ Lee and Tamina Snuka
Winners: The Bella Twins
(So I got to see AJ Lee and Tamina. I was happy to see these women in and out the ring. YesI do have a little crush on Tamina. Tall women are sexy. So are short women like AJ Lee. The Bellas are back together. Fuck! So was I pissed to see them win? YES!!!!!! WHAT THE FUCK!!!! You had them win? Why? Fuck that!!!!!)
Match#5: Erick Rowan and Luke Harper vs. Miz and Kofi Kingston
Winners: Erick Rowan and Luke Harper
(I saw this match on Smackdown. I did not watch this again. SSDD from all people involved. Moving on...)
Match#6: Big E Langston and CM Punk vs. Curtis Axel and Ryback
Winners: CM Punk and Big E Langston
(Well unlike seeing this on Smackdown, this was actually a match not just a save. This was a good tag team match. Big E. is not a rookie. This was watching a future IC/US/WHC titleholder. This man is bad. No matter if he is a face or heel. CM Punk/Ryback/Paul Heyman drama will be over at the PPV. Also what was good about this match was the action. It is rare to see action in tag matches in WWE. Good job WWE. )
Match#7: Tons of Funk (Tensai and Brodus Clay) vs. Real Americans (Antonio Cesaro and Jack Swagger)
Winners: Real Americans
(Well I did not care too much for this match. This could have been saved for Main Event, Superstars, or even YouTube. SSDD is what is going on as of right now.)
Match#8: The Usos vs. The Shield (Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins)
Winner:
(This was a good match. I love seeing real tag team wrestling not a clusterfuck in the making. The Shield hasn't really lost their edge but it is looking like it is close to them breaking up. The Usos should have been tag team champs long time ago. However, the funniest thing was hearing Cody and Goldust doing color commentating. Cody is a smart guy and Goldust is a smart ass. Their music blended together was sweet. This match went from being a tag team match to a triple threat brawl. Even with that, this was a good match and even a better brawl.)
Main Event: Randy Orton and Daniel Bryan - WWE Title Match Contract Signing @ Hell In A Cell PPV.
(Usually, these things end up with a brawl. Watching this, I was hoping for a beatdown. I guess I want to see a WWE title holder. I only have lived through a couple times in WWE where the title was abandoned. Seeing all them in the ring was good for TV but the truth is that it pissed me off that without Cena, they did this as a bullshit excuse. Technically, Daniel Bryan should still be champion but it is bullshit that he is not. Love the hype in this segment because we all know Triple H wants to be champion again. Thank you Shawn Michaels for reminding us what is at stake. It is sad that Shawn is making the case that we all know is true...Triple H is the new Vince. Big Show comes out in a semi truck. Daniel Bryan knees RKO. The show ends with a loud yes.)
Final Thoughts: Well most of the show was filled with SSDD from Smackdown. We will see more in the PPV this Sunday. At least the card for this PPV is not shitty. It might not be strong but it is not going to look like TNA Bound For Glory. WWE does make small venues look large. I don't think I need to say much else because WWE Smackdown will be the last show before the PPV. So see you all for TNA Impact. My god they need to do something to change the shit going on there.
