The Good The Bad The Monday Night RAW Before Royal Rumble 1/23/12

I know its a tab early for the WrestleMania rumors but since the Rumble is this weekend Maina talk will be all the rage for the next several weeks.

Contrary to what has been previously reported, it appears that and are the two big matches currently being discussed. , fans have been expecting the tentative plan and while those plans have not been scrapped by any means, officials have discussed a creative shake-up.

Because of the IWC (Internet Wrestling Community) and its conspiracies and assumptions, rumors are circulating that we might see Triple H vs. CM Punk instead Chris Jericho vs. CM Punk at Mania. While is isn’t confirmed or denied the possible match might be scrapped. WWE is hip to the Internet game and as we know the WWE likes to shake shit up. So Chris Jericho vs The Undertaker might be a go.

If this does happen The Undertaker vs. Chris Jericho wouldn’t be a bad watch. Having Taker do a fresh WrestleMania match is way better than seeing the repeats like the last 3 WrestleMania’s.

Ok lets get in to The Good, The Bad and the Ugly of Monday Night RAW.

THE GOOD:

Chris Jerich Speaks

The Good The Bad The Monday Night RAW 1/9/12

Normally I review Monday Night Raw in its entirety, but since were in a new year I’m going to do something a tad different. The Good, The Bad Monday Night Raw.

This is going to be what I liked and disliked about the program. Raw and Smackdown air for several hours on Universal HD for time warner cable on Saturday nights, I get to view both programs twice and it really cement what I like or didn’t. I have the flu so bare with me if my enthusiasm is non existent. My brain feels like its trapped under Rick Ross’s underboob. Insane pressure.

THE GOOD:

WWE Tag Team Champion Kofi Kingston vs. World Champion Daniel Bryan

Bryan came out, very confident pointing at the Championship and going “I’m the Champion!!!!”. Bryan caught Kofi with the LeBell Lock in a very nice spot where Kofi came off the top rope with a reverse cross body.

Bryan did an over the top celebration after the match, standing on the barrier and on the announce table kept going “YES!!!!”. Bryan winning clean against Kofi this week and Cody last week establishes the heel “IM THE CHAMP AND IM GREAT” character. Bryan is doing a great job of being the cocky. The fact the announce team is treating Danielson like he got lucky really builds the to the heat.

Review of WWE’s Monday Night Raw 11/28/11

Tonight’s WWE RAW Supershow opens with clips from CM Punk vs. Alberto Del Rio at Survivor Series as Lawler hypes the rematch tonight. What older fans like my self really wanted to see was Piper open RAW.

Hall of Famer and OG Roddy Piper makes his way to the ring for a special Piper’s Pit. Last few times I saw Piper on WWE TV he looked like complete shit. On Monday’s RAW Rowdy Roddy didn’t look like he was half dead, thats always good.

Piper said something that made me nod in agreement. “How a guy who never won the WWE Title, one who wasn’t ever the biggest or strongest, has became a Hall of Famer and one of the biggest icons. The answer energy”.

Piper talks about how when the crowd cheered him, he did good things, and when they boo’d him, he did rotten things. Piper goes on and brings out John Cena. Piper says Cena is the face of WWE, but the booing is getting louder. Piper starts poking Cena to tell the fans what’s on his mind.

Review of WWE’s Monday Night Raw 11/07/11

RAW, England I’m excited not really but anything is better than seeing The Muppets.

Cena opens the program and is greeted with boo’s. John mentioned the record breaking “one day” ticket sales, for Wrestlemaina 28. Brilliant move to announce Rock vs Cena the night after Wrestlemaina 27.

Wrestling fans who haven’t watched in years are now watching again. Then we get a Survivor Series plug. Cena plugs next week’s show…Where The Rock will be live in Boston for a three hour edition.

I marked a bit when he said when the madness meets the maina. (Savage/Hogan reference for anyone born after 95)

Before Cena could finish, he was interrupted by The Miz & R-Truth. Miz cut an amazing promo. Truth added “get got”. Both went down the ring to attack Cena, Zack Ryder makes the save as the pop for Ryder was huge. Clearly you can see Cena is a Ryder supporter and it was a nice built up for Ryder.

WWE’s Monday Night RAW That Featured Muppets (REVIEW)

Ive have been asked, why is this column entitled “The Week In Wrestling” if all you cover is Monday Night RAW. My response is why watch Smackdown theres a “super show” for that. Why do I have to sit through a Wade Barrett match when I can see Mark Henry (Smackdown’s World Champion) on the RAW “super show”.

I also got an email asking why haven’t I covered TNA Impact Wrestling? My response is Id rather listen to Racks or that Tony Montana record on repeat then sit through “impact Wrestling”. Once Vice Russo, Eric Bischoff and Hulk Hogan get fired then Ill consider viewing that shit show.

Even WWE’s sub par story lines as of late are far more engaging than anything TNA can conger up. So with that lets start this review…

If you remember last week John Cena asked “The Great One” to be his tag partner against The Miz & R-Truth at Survivor Series. So yea RAW starts off with The Rock in a prerecorded promo. Its Dwayne, the actor who used to wrestle. Who’s part time wrestling again. Side note What the hell is The Rock on? HGH? Maybe Anadrol, Dianabol or Sustanon to bulk with Anavar or Primobolan to lean out? The villain goatee with gray hairs might foreshadow a turn maybe.

The Rock does the typical Rock stick. The people this that people that add a few candy asses and close with catchphrase. So the “People’s Champion” The Rock, John Cena’s WrestleMania XXVIII opponent will be Cena’s partner at the Survivor Series.

That is how this past Monday RAW Halloween Supershow started. O yeah The Muppets are the Guest host of RAW. Yeah I can careless about that nonsense as well.

The WWE Monday Night Raw After Vengeance

Thank goodness for DVR, the invention really is a lifesaver. For numerous reason DVR is a helpful tool the fast forward factor is very underrated. Now your thinking did he really breeze through RAW, will this review be total shit? No heres why.

I speed through the fluff now that could be most if not all of the program, yet I still have faith so with remote in hand lets start GO….. Triple H started off Monday Night RAW, Im getting flash backs of 2003. In 03 hunter had beef with both HBK and Kevin Nash. 8 years later the old man beef continues.

Triple H said that he could make friends or make money. He said he’s always lived by those words. Hunter said he considered himself the lucky one who was able to make money and have a strong group of friends. He mentioned Shawn Michaels, Sean Waltman, and Kevin Nash. No mention of Scott Hall, REALLY Hunter.. Not cool bro not cool.

Buy this point the crowd eating out of Hunters hands. Hunter said Kevin Nash broke my heart,” The broken hearted went on to say he wants to kick Nash’s ass. Johnny Ace makes an appearance and stared to say something raspy but Hunter told Laurinaitis to shut up and not walk through the ropes. Hunter said Laurinaitis’s job for tonight was to search the building and find Nash, and bring him to the ring.

The WWE Monday Night Raw before Vengeance

Monday Night RAW reminds me of my pervious relationship a FUCKEN LET DOWN. If you’re already lost stay with me, there will be a tie in. Think about it. We have a relationship with this program and with the WWE, I know the WWE has been my main squeeze since I was 4 years old. Thats a long time and I’m emotionally invested with this product. There is anticipation to the build up then its the honeymoon stage where they can do no wrong. When things are great things are comfortable, after a while that comfortably turns into irritability. So every little thing they don’t do is note worthy, another con on an ever growing list of shit.

When you’re in a relationship sometimes you need a kick in the ass to realize shit isn’t as sweet as you think. Maybe sensing the audience’s disappointment with the current product WWE decided to change for a while. WWE was on their toes with the Punk promo. The walkout had us wanting more, but then they reverted back to their comfortable ways.

Like most who avoid confrontation in a relationship I wasn’t going to talk about the on going problems with the program, I was going to say nothing in hopes that it would go away. I wasn’t in the most healthy relationship, I dated someone who had the communication skills of a snow pea. Fortunately, Kaz reminded me of my due diligence. So here is my review of the Monday Night RAW before the Pay-Per-View Vengeance.

John Laurinaitis starts the program off. The crowd boos as Ace introduces himself to the crowd. He says tonight marks the return of Rey Mysterio and the crowd pops. Returning to San Diego to see his doctor, Laurinaitis says. He won’t be here tonight. The crowd boo’s and Laurinaitis says he was just kidding. Ace talks about firing Jim Ross last week. Laurinaitis introduces Ross and out he comes we see footage from last week where Michael Cole led Alberto Del Rio and Ricardo Rodriguez in singing goodbye to Ross. Laurinaitis announces Cole and Del Rio vs. Ross and John Cena for tonight.

Review of WWE’s Monday Night Raw 10/10/11

RAW opens with a video package,cut to crowd with empty announcing area. Cut to an empty backstage with Hunter being the only BABYFACE on the roster walking to the ring. Remember when CM Punk kicked started this angle? The roster is outside refusing to come into the building unless Hunter leaves.

Hunter is asking the crowd if he should walk away they say NO.. yeah they booked this ALL WRONG. HUNTER WILL NOT QUIT. So tonight wrestling fans will we get 2 hours of complete shit. Hunter says he’ll wrestle a broomstick for 2 hours if he has to. Then says he’s wrestled some of the guys in the parking lot and a broomstick would give him a better match

The WWE RAW after Hell In The Cell

I needed a few days to porcess what went down this past Monday Night RAW. RAW has been a title wave of good and bad since the summer of Punk. WWE has shown glimpses of brilliance yet reverts back to old ways at times. Its like going back to the same pussy after a break up its comfortable, yet you know change needs to come. Granted some steam has been lost like involving Kevin Nash, but for the most part the level of confusion WWE creative has thrown at us isn’t stale. After Sunday’s PPV Hell In The Cell it seems like some shit is about to go down. Shockingly no promo starts the show. What opens RAW was Orton vs Drew McIntyre. Yeah Drew McIntyre, he used to be a big deal..not anymore. Guess who wins?

After the match Mizzzark Henry came out held the heavyweight title in the air. Its good to see Henry rubbing shit in Orton’s face.. Orton and Henry exchange punches. Johnny Ace is out with security to separate them seconds. We see a promo video hyping the return of the Big Show before Mark Henry’s match with John Morrison. Yea I know I was like WTF Morrison. Henry made fast work of Morrison killed him dead in minutes.

Alberto, Christian, Cody, Dolph, Swagger, Otunga and Vickie hit the ring to announce they are contemplating legal action against Hunter. Hunter tells them to just shut up and fight in the main event. The Main event is a 6 on 6 against Cena, Punk, Air Boom, Sheamus & Mason Ryan. ITS TAG TEAM MANIA TONIGHT ON RAW.

The WWE RAW after Night Of Champions

This Monday Night RAW felt like a RAW rerun from 2009: Triple H high on his ego, Cena is champ, a model is divas champ and one interesting guest host than its all down hill with the guest host after that.

Hunter/Punk/Johnny Ace segment opens up the show with Punk claiming that Ace is manipulating he and hunter..Hunter makes Punk/Cena/Del Rio in a Hell In A Cell for the HIAC PPV.. Johnny Ace wishes Punk best of luck in his future endeavors and fires him, Hunter unfired him and says he is getting to the bottom of the conspiracy and someone is getting fired tonight.I was expecting a way better Pipe Bomb than what was said.Punk has been hit or miss yet when he is on camera were all compelled to watch.

8 Man tag:Sheamus, Gabriel, & Air Boom beat Barrett, Christian, McGuilicutty & Otunga Shemus pins McGuilicuty off the Cross while stairing a whole thru Christian.Sheamus is pale and scary. Del Rio is fighting someone now but they didn’t announce who..Music hits its John Morrison all our interest is lost, cross arm breaker for the submission.The match had be 2 minutes at most.

Wolverine Ziggler/Vickie are in the ring..Ziggs calls em Batman..says he is not here to fight robots and says “sorry Mason Ryan”.Hugh Jackman mind you is pretty damn tall. Logan says he is going to find an “underdog” in the locker room to fight Ziggler.We want Ryder chants just picked up..Jackman grabs a sign in the crowd that says Ryder < Wolverine and holds it up for all to see. So yeah, its Zac Ryder.
