Note: Well this is going to be an interesting week in wrestling. WWE is on tour in Europe and has been for the last two weeks. So unlike TNA taping shows every other week, these shows are taped and shown for the American audience. Usually when WWE or TNA goes to England or anywhere else in Europe, fans does things differently. So with that said, this is going to be an interesting week in wrestling. Here's WWE Raw...
Opening Segment: Randy Orton comes out and says he is in charge. Then Brad Maddox comes out to make a match with Randy Orton. All of a sudden, Kane in his new role comes out to make a different match with Randy Orton. Vickie Guerrero comes out and combines the matches.
(Well as I am trying to watch this as a wrestling fan, I was asking myself a shitload of questions. Why is Kane being a figure head? What is Brad Maddox doing there? Why did Vickie be a bitch? However, the one question that I wondered was who is in charge. Technically, the answer is Brad Maddox then Kane. However, all I wonder was when this dumbshit would end. Thank god the first match ended this bullshit.)
Match#1: Randy Orton vs. Cody Rhodes and Goldust - 2 on 1 Handicap Match
Winners: Cody Rhodes and Goldust by Count Out
(Well this was a good way to start the show however the champ should not be in a match that early in the show. This was a good match because these guys put on the best match ever. This is how a handicap match should be. The ending sucked because of the way RKO left the ring. However, thank you Big Show. He came to the ring, then took out RKO and finally chokeslammed him through the announce table. Thank you WWE for this rarely seen match and ending. )
Match#2: Los Matadores and Santino Marella vs. Union Jacks (3MB)
Winners: Los Matadores and Santino Marella
(I did not care for this match. I actually changed the channel. This is not a match I wanted to see or care for. Moving on. )
Match#3: Damien Sandow vs. Kofi Kingston
Winner: Damien Sandow
(This match could have been for a title. This was a good match even though we saw it over and over again. Kofi is good for the main event and Sandow should be WHC. I hate that these guys who should be in the main event are stuck in the mid card just to make people not change channels or stop watching. The match above is a match that would make me change channels or stop watching at all. )
Match#4: Curtis Axel vs. Dolph Ziggler - IC Title Match
Winner: Curtis Axel
(This was the match of the night. Why? This match was more intense and exciting than most IC title matches on PPV. Ziggler is a main eventer not a mid carder. Axel is perfect for the mid card. I think it is sad that WWE is more focused on the past not the present or the future. This is the future of WWE and should be focused on more. Good match...)
Match#5: Tamina Snuka vs. Nikki Bella
Winner: Tamina Snuka
(Thank you Tamina and AJ Lee for this match, the aftermath and finally, making the Bellas look bad on TV. I did not care for the match but loved seeing AJ Lee poke that little ass of hers out for people to see. I love the fact that Tamina is basically a jobber with a famous last name but she is still sexy to me. I loved that this was more so a match to show that the Bellas are nothing but talent-less women. Thank you AJ Lee and Tamina for making them look bad.)
Match#6: Fandango vs. Tyson Kidd
Winner: Fandango
(The only reason why I watched this match was to see if Tyson is back to 100%. He is to a point. Other than that, this was a poor attempt to show why these men are feuding. Gotta love WWE for using their E! show to make matches and storylines. Other than that, I did not care too much for anything else. )
Match#7: John Cena vs. The Real Americans (Antonio Cesaro and Jack Swagger) - 2 on 1 Handicap Match
Winner: John Cena
(Typical Cena match. However, thank you ADR for the attempt to re-injure Cena. If you do that, then the WHC title would be vacated. Please don't do that!!!!! Also why did Big E. help Cena? Someone forgot to include the logic with that. However, it did setup a match with them. Other than that, moving on. )
Match#8: R-Truth vs. Ryback
Winner: Ryback
(I will move on because Ryback is getting old and stale as a character. I would elaborate but I rather just move on to something more interesting. )
Match#9: Big E. Langston vs. Alberto Del Rio
Winner: Alberto Del Rio
(At first, this was going to be a good match. Big E. is definitely ready for the main event. However, ADR is the heel and he controls the match. This was bullshit. )
Main Event: The Shield vs. CM Punk and Daniel Bryan - 3 on 2 Handicap Match
Winners: No Contest
(The match alone was epic and just so good. This is what the fans wanted to see. Thank you WWE for this. Daniel Bryan and CM Punk could be tag team champs. The Shield is still the best faction of the PG era. This match shows that WWE needs to build from this. Hold on though...The Wyatt Family came out to fight CM Punk and Daniel Bryan but got into the best fucking fight ever with The Shield. I lost my mind seeing them fight while CM Punk and Daniel Bryan was out of the ring. That match would be the best PPV match ever. There was more because we saw The Usos and Goldust and Cody Rhodes comes out. This was the best brawl ever on WWE Raw but it had to be outside the U.S. )
Final Thoughts: Well I think tonight we saw something different and unique. WWE does tend to do more for their fans overseas than the fans in the U.S. This was basically a real treat to fans to get something different. Seeing The Shield and Wyatt Family brawl in and out the ring just made the IWC lose their minds. I loved that. I loved the whole handicap match theme except for the Cena match, however we did see Cena do a seventh move of doom. Basically like I said last week, it is 2005. We have Randy Orton and John Cena as champs. However, the titles are in reverse. One more thing, just like in Canada where it is bizzaro land there, England is starting to be the same way. No way in hell Fandango is that fucking popular. See you all for TNA Impact.
