Second Batch of Monday Night Raw WZ Reader Feedback

I felt that Raw was a large disappointment. I mean no outcome to a

last man standing match? Really?? Trump selling back Raw, why have a

storyline if you don’t use it to it’s potential. Sure it wasn’t

believable at all, but you might as well do something with it instead

of erasing it kind of like the Vince is dead storyline. I will be very

surprised if the ratings increase ONLY because Trump made an

appearance on RAW. In order to increase ratings, you need to cater to

the fans and the WWE isn’t doing that at all. After I realized they

only had 1 match in the 1st hour and maybe over 30 min or recaps, I

flipped the channel and noticed that Night at the Museum was on. Not a

great movie, but still better than watching the WWE fail it’s fans. Is

it Thursday yet? Cause I’m looking forward to some TNA and a woman’s

thumbtack match.

I thought Raw was actually very good this week, for the most

part. Donald Trump was a weird addition to the show, and I

think it’s a little odd that they got rid of him so quickly,

but I guess they just wanted to add a little hype to the

show or something. The opening match with all of the

Smackdown guys was very good. I liked the Hardy/Mysterio

spots. Festus coming out of the shitter reading The Wall

Street Journal was hysterical. Orton/HHH last man standing

was PPV quality match. I don’t even mind the "draw" ending

because it really makes me want to see the 3 Stages of Hell

match this Sunday. Cena/Big Show was a pretty good match

too. I was pretty surprised Cena finally got the STF on

being that it was just a match on cable, but I guess they

really wanted to show the fans something extra. All in all,

a very solid Raw with a lot of good matches heading into The

Bash. Lastly, I just want to add that Michael Cole is a

retard. During the Last Man Standing match he said something

like "and this is exactly where Orton wants HHH," while HHH

was down in the ring. It’s a wrestling match, of course he

wants him all beat up you idiot! I don’t want to knock the

guy, I’m sure it’s pretty hard to think on the fly and do

commentary like that, but come on dude. Some of the stuff

that this guy says is just ridiculous.

Last nights raw was decent. I enjoyed it being commercial free but they had enough recaps to make commercial . The segment with cdma and the miz was great i love how cena made the real world reference it kinda makes the fued seem real i jus hope the jus doesnt get squashed and the big show doesnt show up in the match at the bash either. The smackdown 6 man tag was decent i wish they out morrison in the match other then khali big ass. I actually got kentucky grilled chicken during show . Where the hell was m.v.p and kofi i didn’t like the no show to either of them and it wsnt surprising vince "bought" back raw the trump was cool last night dont think it woulda been cool further down the line. The last man standing match was great but i feel like this happens before oh cuz it did im so tired of hhh and orton let 3 stages of hell ne the last of it unless there is gonna be a hell in cell at summer slam other then that get rid of it please all in all it was a good raw i was exicted trough out the night its great the to see the miz on the come up

Does WWE have too much money that they are just giving back refunds, and not doing actual commercial breaks?  If that is the case, bring some my way. Hell, I have been a loyal fan for 20 years, I think I deserve mine. Any ways, onto the review….

In-Ring: John Cena & The Miz

I like the heat that is being built up for this match at the bash, but it will probably be a one time thing, seeing as how things have been unfolding in the WWE universe.  And yes, the Miz is Awesome.



Earlier Today Video – Vince McMahon’s limo broke down


I have always been a fan of Vince getting the short end of the stick, because he is so mad, but its done in such a funny way…give me a piggy back ride, Festus coming out of the shitter/his new office.  I’m reminded of our first meeting of Mr. Socko. Memories….. 



Jeff Hardy, The Great Khali, & Rey Mysterio vs. Chris Jericho, Dolph Ziggler, & Edge


Didn’t see this match, but I can imagine that it was good.  Rey and Jeff probably hit some nice spots together, and I bet Khali raised both his arms up in the air 5 or 6 times and groaned.  Good to see Dolph in the mix though, since I think he could be repackaged as the modern day Mr. Perfect. – He’s got the look.  Perhaps give him the push MRRRRRrrrrr. KENNEDYYYYyyyyyy was going to get? I am hoping that the WWE continues the heel turn with Punk, and actually makes him a true heel after the Bash.  Other than Jericho, I can’t really think of any heels over on Smack Down that are Main Event players.



Cody Rhodes vs. Primo


Prediction…Legacy will win the titles in a boring match at the PPV.  They only thing entertaining about Legacy is Cody’s lisp.

Last Man Standing Match – WWE Championship Triple H vs. Randy Orton

As the match was moving forward it gained my attention.  Some real good spots with the stairs and on the ramp.  Did you see the height Orton got when Triple H tossed him on the announce table?!  Anyways, my main problem with the match was that Triple H was getting some serious punishment, hit one pedigree and neither could get up.  Makes sense for the PPV build, but one pedigree?!?

Backstage: The Miz and Maryse –best actual story line on Raw?!?



In Ring: Donald Trump


WTF.

Talk about getting rid of a story line.  Who made the call to end this so soon?  Now there is no back filler leading to Summer Slam.  There could have been so many funny spots of Vince getting the short end of the stick, getting locked out of his office, ect.  Hell he could of created a Smack Down army that could have come to the RAW show every week and raise hell.  Thinking about it, this could have been a great angle for DX to come back, (not that I want to see them back) since they are having a reunion tour soon.  But hey, what do I know…I’m just a fan.  So, after one week Vince has RAW back, and made a shitty PPV main event.  Not bad Vince, not bad at all.

The Bella Twins & Mickie James vs. Maryse, Beth Phoenix, & Rosa Mendez

Poor Rosa.

The Big Show vs. John Cena

Stupid Filler match.  The only thing it proves is that a Giant of a man can’t beat Cena still fairly. BULL SHIT.  They need to do something with Big Show, other than be the new Kane/JBL. 

Overall, the commercial free episode wasn’t horrible, but it wasn’t great.  I laughed every time I saw the product placement, and the numerous videos of the arena that could have been used to show case the younger talent on the brand.  Give these guys a chance, who knows they might be good!
