WWE Raw Review 1/27/14

Note: Last night just proves that WWE does not fucking care for their fans. Basically, you paid for a shitty PPV with some good spots. As we get ready for tonight, just think if this will clean the nasty taste of having the Triple H/Kliq era. I will say that if you do watch this show, don't expect much unless you want to see Roman Reigns turn face, Daniel Bryan come out to do a pipebomb, or see CM Punk do something drastic. I love WWE but felt slighted. Also I watch people drunk into a stupor during this PPV. So tonight is a welcome change. So let's see if WWE Raw can erase last night's disasppointment. Here's WWE Raw...

Match#1: Rey Mysterio and Sin Cara vs. Real Americans
Winner: Real Americans
(As I am watching this shitty opening match, I ask myself what was the point of this match? I am tired of seeing Swagger and Cesaro act like they are a team. We all know that Cesaro is better. Swagger is a joke with a gimmick. Zeb is just a bigot with a gimmick. Rey is not going to retire anytime soon and Sin Cara as a character is about to disappear. So this was basically the best time to make snacks and drinks. Moving on...)

Match#2: Fandango vs. R-Truth
Winner: R-Truth
(So here was another match that had no purpose or bearing to the next PPV. Basically this was more so a way for people to know Xavier Woods who is going for his PhD. Wait, we saw another sighting of Emma from NXT. That means we will see a feud with her and Summer Rae. Other than that, boring......)

Match#3: Dolph Ziggler vs. The Miz - Battle of Cleveland
Winner: Dolph Ziggler
(This is where the show got interesting. Thank you Miz and Ziggler for finally making this match watchable. Seeing that there is no Detroit wrestlers in the WWE currently, this was as good as it got. The Miz basically did what he does best and that goes for Ziggler as well. This was a match of close pins and fast action. Too bad WWE is focusing on past guys who are friends with Triple H. This was the bright spot of the show. )

Match#4: Ryback and Curtis Axel vs. The Usos
Winner: The Usos
(I have nothing to say about this match because I think it is a waste of talent for The Usos to beat two guys who are not real tag team wrestlers. This was just sad to watch. Moving on....)

Match#5: Kofi Kingston vs. Alberto Del Rio
Winner: Alberto Del Rio
(This match was so bad that people were cheering for the announcers. We got cheers for JBL, Jerry Lawler and even Michael Cole. This was so boring that I had to start drinking soda to perk up. Plus it made me sick to watch another repeat match over again. )

Match#6: New Age Outlaws vs. Cody Rhodes and Goldust - WWE Tag Team Title Rematch
Winner: No Contest
(Their match at the PPV was good. This was bullshit. I would have loved to see this end clean but this was time for Brock Lesnar to be a dick. He took out Cody and Goldust with chair shots. He basically did the same thing from the PPV with Big Show. Brock had a temper tantrum and laid out the faces. New Age Outlaws knew this was going to happen. )

Match#7: Total Divas (The Bella Twins, Naomi and Cameron) vs. AJ Lee, Tamina, Aksana and Alicia Fox
Winner: Total Divas
(Same shit different day. So tired of seeing this shit because it means that there are no plans for this division aside from making these women look like idiots on TV. AJ Lee is wasted because of these wannabe divas. Thank god there was no Eva Marie and basically Jojo is back in NXT. I was happy to see AJ Lee and Tamina since that's the only reason why I watch any divas match. )

Main Event: John Cena, Sheamus and Daniel Bryan vs. The Shield - Elimination Chamber Qualifying Match
Winners: John Cena, Sheamus and Daniel Bryan by DQ
(I think it is fitting to end this review because this was the most idiotic way to end the show with a DQ finish with the faces winning the match. )

Final Thoughts: This was suppose to be the show that erased last night's PPV out of our minds. This show just made sure we had to see the same shit over and over again. First of all, Brock basically wasted energy beating up on Cody and Goldust. Why? To make him look like a beast. Then you got Batista basically waiting for the champion for Wrestlemania. So you had those guys waste time. Also how many times was the WWE network or WWE App was mentioned? My god, WWE is killing me with the promotion of shit. I think I watched more commercials than usual. So basically, you all watched Vince promote his business more so now that it is Wrestlemania time. So good night and see you all for TNA Impact from Scotland...
