In all honesty for the second week in a row, the crowd ruined this show for me. They had no reaction to anything. I thought overall it was a decent filler show. They just had weird booking choices. Cesaro vs. Rhodes? A heel vs. heel match? They haven't really voiced a good reason for the crowd to get behind Ziggler. They let everyone know why Del Rio went heel, as weak of a reason as it was, it was still a semi believable reason. They are trying to do too many things at once and it's not going well. The crowds are confused and just not in to it. The hot story is Daniel Bryan but they still haven't hinted at where they are going with him yet. I assume after MITB we will know a little more.
The show was disappointing after a few weeks of pretty good shows. Hopefully next week it'll pick back up.
Thanks Taker_2004 for the banner!
i actually fell asleep during the cena delrio match. I was tired, but, still...
They just need to tweak Cena. He's not a bad wrestler. He's not CM Punk or D-Bry, but he's pretty good. His character is just boring.
Well, here we go again and as usual, this isn't a review of the show as such, it's just my thoughts I am writing as I watch the show...
So we start out with Vicki announcing a champion vs champion match and making out like this never happens... It probably would have meant more if the brands were still split and seeing Raw Champ vs Smackdown champ would be a rare thing... Ah well, WWE never remembers anything older than 6 weeks anyway so for them, it is a brand new and fresh idea i guess.
2 weeks out and now we get into MITB mode... I would have liked to have had matches to perhaps earn a spot in the MITB, but here we go with D-Bry, nice new T-Shirt as well. Not sure who got the worse reaction, Hulk or The Rock in his promo haha, nice promo from D-Bry though, his YES chants still feel fresh, well compared to Sheamus a pair of sweaty gym socks would seem fresh... I stand corrected, Sheamus got more 'Boos' than Hulk or The Rock ha... they keep referring to it as a All star match, like it was any different from last year's line up when Cena won it, only difference is I guess, they will all be faces this year... the only person that will get as good a reception as CM Punk though is going to be RVD... It ended with less momentum than it started with though....
The Wyatt family to debut next week if you believe Bray Wyatts tweet before Raw, should be interesting to see where they set their sights and who they go after etc... Im guessing 3MB for the first week hahaha
So here we are with a 6 man tag and the same as Smackdown, im guessing Shield will win to make them go kind of 1-1 between the 6 of them and it will make sense for Christian to go after Ambrose after MITB otherwise he is just there as the extra man for no reason at all... Nice little match and The Shield win as predicted...
Ha, D-Bry is the referee for Kane vs Randy, cant see this ending well haha, but here we go with Dolph Ziggler
More pushing of the McMahon and Trips storyline, I still blame USA Network for asking for more McMahons on TV haha.... Lots of bloody highlight videos tonight, they are definitely trying to kill some time here...
I have enjoyed the Kane vs Randy match, D-Bry can make any role pure gold, even the special referee role, found myself laughing as he was ending the match and restarting the match etc, a nice break from the norm, he stayed out of the match where he needed to and then added to when was necessary... Nice to see Kane not wanting any Babyface Dickery haha
WOOOO Summer Rae is back, but the price of having her on our screen again is have to see Fandango... I had to fast forward this match after the entrance as Summer Rae was going to be the only good thing here....
Here is Ryback again, sooo bored of this, and I hope to god the rumours of them nixing the possible D-Bry vs Cena match at Summerslam is wrong as they were apparently thinking of Cena vs Ryback vs Mark Henry... I mean, how do you get 2 totally different matches on opposite ends of the interest spectrum.. It seemed for part of this match, Miz was working as a heel with his focusing on the knee etc, and I like that side of Miz... Not sure about that ending to the match though all it does is make Ryback look like a cry baby and cant understand that, I don't like Ryback anyway so i'm actually not bothered about it.
Mark Henry came out and spouted the same stuff we have heard the last few weeks, his original promo was great about his retirement, and after that he shouldn't have aid another word and just caused some destruction and said "That's What I Do" and say nothing else... Now i'm bored of Henry again...
More McMahon backstage stuff, playing up on the latest internet rumour of Vince seeing no Money in D-Bry after the Shawn Michaels interview that he said on twitter was wrong and people jumped to wrong conclusion etc.... This McMahon storyline is dragging on alot now, just wish they would hurry up and get down to what ever they are reaching towards...
The tag match with Punk and Axel taking on PTP was just huijacked by the Punk and Heyman storyline which is a shame a bit for PTP, but its just another step towards Punk breaking away from Heyman with Axel still very much playing a sneaky heel role
Kaitlyn just proved that the only reason her match was good against AJ Lee was because AJ carried her and this match just proved it... Steph sounding a voice of reason, but be interesting to see where the job review will go next week...
HEre comes my pick for the MITB anyways, Damien Sandow but realisticaly there are 4 people there that are possible winners, I guess Team Colter is now complete with Swagger not going to jail yet how can Cesaro be nodding his head about immigrants in the USA etc.. haha... Nice to hear some We The People chants, surprised he hasnt been playing more off the PRISM thing with the privacy stuff brought to light by Edward Snowden..
The Main event is up next, which we know will end with interferences from Henry and Ziggler, so is there any point in watching.. think ll hit the fast forward and find out, I suppose 1 good thing is we didnt have to hear Cena speak and spout the same stuff again this week... Interferences as predicted, but instead of a no contest they showed that the 'Raw' title is more important than the 'Smackdown' Title...
In summary, I still find it weird that WWE shows clips of Sting even though he has never worked for them, whether they own the WCW library or not.... D-Bry is Gold and anything he turns his hat too and Mark Henry pretended he liked Boys...
