Title This: WWE Raw Reaction For 3-12

March 13, 2012

Randy Orton def. Jack Swagger:

What I Liked:

Orton looked good tonight in the ring against a strong opponent. Swagger and Orton work very well together through all aspects, including the physicality mixed with athleticism. Both guys know how to work with multiple opponents, and it showed here. I also enjoyed the transition into Kane's pyro as Orton was going to pose. You did not need to see him this week and attack again. I like the suspense.

What I Disliked:

We need a reason why Kane is attacking Orton. We need a storyline and some sort of angle to draw us further in, so it is not just a random match at Mania. Give it some sort of purpose.

Grade: B-

In Ring Segment:

The Rock Concert is underway! Rock gets excited he is in Cleveland, talks about sellouts like Cena. He also talks about how Cena looks like Vanilla Ice and a Telletubby having sex. He says Cena sucks, talks about him menstruating, and really gets the jokes rolling. He talks about Cena kissing Eve and how he has a wife. Also, he talks about Cena's lady parts, Cleveland Rocks, and what not. He talks about Cena being hated by men. Finally he talks about having sex with Cena's mom. He repeats it, and then goes into We Will Rock You with his own lyrics. He ends the show.

What I Liked:

First off, I do not care if he fumbled words at the end. Just because one part wasn't perfect does not devalue the entire segment. The Rock delivered in a big way. Most liked it, laughed their asses off, and wanted more. Rock was great and really stretched the limits. I felt like Rock connected with all types of people. I laughed, I was entertained throughout, and I really felt he did exactly what was needed of him to win this round.

Rock: 2 Cena: 2

What I Disliked:

Cena should have gotten pissed and try to ruin the night by going after Rock. They face off, Vince comes out, and they do not touch one another. This would have been a dramatic way to end things. It is like a movie with an alternative ending. Another way, maybe better, to end the night.

Grade: A

Raw Grade: B (Did a lot to push stories more as we get closer to WrestleMania 28)
