Note: Last night's PPV just made me realize that WWE is oversaturating PPVs and this whole show could have been a Raw or Smackdown show. The ending last night pissed off the fans and people like me. So I want to know why should I do a review of tonight's WWE Raw? I think we all know that the other PPV this month will either be better or SSDD from WWE. Eithwer way, three weeks will either make it better or worse for WWE. So let's jump into WWE Raw...
Opening Segment: Stephanie McMahon comes to the ring and blames Big Show for the ending of the PPV. She does everything including hitting him just to get him to cry. He is dull from the pain. She fires him. He walks away.
(Well seeing this was a relief because we all know how WWE does a firing of a person. Real life, if he was fired then he would be collecting unemployment and looking for work. We all know that this is going to setup something for later. Good acting job by Stephanie because I believe she was being a total bitch. )
Match#1: Dolph Ziggler vs. Damien Sandow
Winner: Dolph Ziggler
(Well at least seeing this again was better than seeing a shittier match by WWE. Ziggler was all over the place. Ziggler has this way in the ring that is cool but also scary. Ziggler does this baseball slide that is sick. Sandow was actually more into this match than at the PPV. Sandow is a character but the man behind the character is a good wrestler. He reminds me of the old school smash mouth wrestling that I grew up with. This was not better than the PPV match but it was good for TV. I can see this for the WHC title in the future.)
Match#2: Alicia Fox, Aksana and Rosa Mendez vs. Total Divas (Eva Marie, Jo Jo and Natalya)
Winners: Total Divas
(Before this match started, I read online that AJ Lee was injured at the PPV. She got a concussion during the match with Brie Bella. So since WWE is acting like the NFL with concussions, no AJ Lee. Ok then, so where is Kaitlyn? This was like watching models fake fight. Natalya can wrestle but she was surrounded by women who could break an leg doing a clothesline. Seeing Jo Jo in the ring just proved that WWE hired her just for looks. She cannot wrestler. Eva Marie looked lost in the ring. She is basically a model. Seeing Rosa with blonde hair just proves how backwards and stupid WWE is with women. No fake blondes but real ones. This was the shittiest thing ever on WWE. This just proves that WWE Total Divas is a joke. )
Match#3: Los Matadores vs. 3MB (Jinder Mahal and Drew McIntyre)
Winners: Los Matadores
(No comment. Moving on...)
Match#4: R-Truth and CM Punk vs. Ryback and Curtis Axel
Winners: R-Truth and CM Punk
(So Paul Heyman was bragging that CM Punk cheated last night. That's not true! CM Punk was bored with this shit and ended the match earlier. CM Punk comes out to challenge both Curtis Axel and Ryback. out comes R-Truth who must really want to be IC champ. We get an impromptu tag match. This was quick and painless. CM Punk GTS Axel and then R-Truth axe kicks him for the win. I was entertained with this match. Not the best match but seeing CM Punk on TV wrestling is good for business. )
Match#5: Kofi Kingston vs. Randy Orton
Winner: Randy Orton
(Even though Randy Orton won this match, this was a good match. Kofi was all over the place. It was nice to see Kofi wrestle against someone that can wrestle. Randy Orton as a heel is good for me as a fan because it is better than goofy RKO. This could be seen as a WWE Title match of the future. So two good matches so far. )
Match#6: Alberto Del Rio vs. Ricardo Rodriguez
Winner: Ricardo Rodriguez
(How many times will we see this shit again? We all know that ADR is going to keep this title for a long while. So why bother having him wrestle like he holds the IC or US title? One thing that I was shocked about was Vickie has the balls to announce that at the next PPV, John Cena will be back to face ADR for the WHC. The IWC just had a collective stroke. WHAT THE FUCK IS WWE DOING HAVING CENA COME BACK TO FACE ADR? We might have gotten use to not having a WWE champion but we loved not seeing Super Cena on TV. After that announcement, the match went to shit. RR won the match...that's shocking. ADR takes out RR, that's not shocking. )
Match#7: Zack Ryder vs. Fandango
Winner: Fandango
(No comment. Moving on.)
Match#8: Real Americans (Antonio Cesaro and Jack Swagger) vs. The Great Khali and Santino Marella
Winners: Real Americans
(No comment. Moving on.)
Main Event Part 1: The Shield vs. Cody Rhodes, Goldust and Daniel Bryan
Winners: Cody Rhodes, Goldust and Daniel Bryan by DQ
Main Event Part 2: The Shield vs. Cody Rhodes, Goldust and Daniel Bryan - No DQ Match
Winners: The Shield
(I split this in two parts because it is easier to read it like this than jumble things. The first match was good because we got to see things in a clean manner. People were all over the place. Cody was back to being the stunning one. He was showing people why he was IC champion and tag team champion. Also why he can be a good WHC title holder someday. Goldust hasn't lost a step. When he got into the ring, it was Attitude Era all the way. No shattered dreams but still classic Goldust. Most of this match was all about the Rhodes brothers versus The Shield. However when Daniel Bryan got into ring, the places exploded. Seeing Daniel Bryan move all over the place was classic and cool. The first match ended with a chairshot to Goldust for the DQ ending. So Triple H restarts the match because it was bad for business. RKO comes out takes out Daniel Bryan, then throws him in and Seth Rollins pins him. End of the match but not the end of the show. Big Show comes out as the faces were getting beat by The Shield. We think that Big Show will get beat down but then he comes back to take out The Shield and KO Triple H. Show ends with Daniel Bryan yesing the crowd. )
Final Thoughts: This show was suppose to be better than the PPV. This was filled with a lot of rematches and bullshit. The good thing was seeing Big Show KO Triple H. Also good seeing a great match from Kofi Kingston and Randy Orton. Why do they still have Khali in the WWE? What purpose does Hornswoggle serve in WWE? It was nice to see Cody and Goldust back on WWE TV. Why did Vickie announce John Cena is going to be in a title match? I have more questions than praises for this show. Well time to go to bed. See you all for TNA Impact. At least that show is shitty but have more answers than questions.
