Good review, as always B.
Actually recorded this show and how it on now (got Show Vs Ryback playing now) and it really is an awful program...
The Authority come out, and HHH has his regular music, which is totally wrong for his gimic... Terrible seg (and I used to enjoy HHH). Steph needs to go, HHH needs a suit that fits him, Vicky needs to go. So much wrong already and the show has only been on for 15 minutes... Boring.
Maddox Vs Randy. Don't care. Boring.
Big E Vs Axel. Don't know who Big E is, but he can't wrestle, has no charisma and looks terrible. Axel is Mr Perfects son, but, apart from a comment from King, WWE seems to want to hide that. Axel is pretty boring, but still much better than Big E. Poor match that E wins, and he now looks terrible with the belt. I remember the days when HBK, Rock and HHH made this THE title. Not any more...
Divas musical chairs... Seriously... Who the fuck thinks these things up? At least back in the day the divas would have been next to naked. This was absolutely terrible. I sat, open mouthed, and watched this car crash happen. Poor TV, and not one of them should be allowed on TV again. Personally, all these divas and the person that thought up this seg should be turned to glue so they serve at least one purpose in their life...
Show Vs Ryback was better than I expected. Found myself wanting Ryback to win, but they had Show kick out of his finisher. Still pretty poor, but a little better than anything else.
Going to bed now, if I'm bored enough tomorrow I'll watch the rest, but I'll probably not bother.
Show rating thus far...
2/10
It needs a Hulk Hogan style come back in the last hour and a half to even reach a score of 5...
Big E Amy wrestle? Are you thinking of the right guy? He's actually awesome
Big E Amy wrestle? Are you thinking of the right guy? He's actually awesome
That should say "can't," not "Amy." Fat fingers and autocorrect
So here we go again with another edition of Belly's Raw thoughts... Thoughts being the key word in my disclaimer that this is not a review...
I am expecting this week's Raw to be pretty action packed, considering last week's show was a throw away show with it being in the UK, so this close to Survivor Series, this week should be packed and hopefully a good show...
We start off with a replay of last week's throw away show, showing Raw in about 30 seconds, which is probably the long version of the important bits of last week to be honest.
HOUR 1
So out first is 'The Authority' and then more replays of the same thing we just saw, although slightly extended from last week, after a bit of a self love moment, Randy comes out angry with them but still manages to come like a whinging little girl and admits he cannot beat the Big Show on his own and wants The Authority to help him... Then comes Maddox and Vicky, Maddox blames Vicki for last week but The Authority puts Vicki in a match with AJ and Maddox in a match with Randy Orton in a no DQ match...
It was an OK match, was well worked and told story in the match, but it was still a short an obvious match with the obvious result... Orton wins..
Big E vs Curtis Axel next for the IC Title... I am guessing this will be a continuation of his push, and hopefully he should win the IC Title and now that Heyman has been written out of storylines, Axel will be no doubt de pushed and taken off TV and end up in the same situation he was as McGuilacuty or whatever his name was... Big E wins a 9 minute match and wins the IC Title...
Oh My... A Divas version of Musical Chairs.. Really??? Thank God this erupted into a fight after 30 seconds, that would have been awful TV.. mind you, probably better than some of Raws recent stuff...
HOUR 2
The second hour begins with Big Show vs Ryback... Well, If Ryback cant beat R Truth.. then I doubt he is going to do well against the #1 Contender... Kind of increasing Rybacks Jobber status... Ryback nearly wins this match, I thought it would be more of a walk over.. Even though it only does last 6 minutes... But then again, Even Barry Horowitz used to put in a good showing before getting beat haha... Randy comes down to ambush Big Show but Show spears him and stops that...
Real Americans are out next to take on the team of Kofi and Miz.. I was fast forwarding, until I saw Kofi go for the hot tag to Miz and Miz jumps off the apron... guess Miz has gone heel, and thats a good thing... Real Americans win and Miz turns heel
Vicki tries to fake her way out of the match, but Steph doesnt buy it and instead of the stretched taking her to an ambulance, she is wheeled to the ring... Out comes AJ Lee, Vicki trie to escape but Tamina stop her... Cant help but feel AJ has been forgotton with the whole Total Divas thing, and really needs a decent storyline once again as she is the best thing to happen to the Divas Divison in ages... Ill say it again.. Bring Paige upto the main roster... it is bad when NXT has a much stronger Divas divison than the main roster.. Whilst I was typing this, AJ wins...
Sandow vs Ziggler net in a match where apprently musical instruments are legal weapons... These 2 are the most underrated stars in WWE.. Well they aint even underrated.. everyone knows they are the best of the higher mid carders, and its sucha shame seeing Ziggler fall from grace after his injury.. But im guessing his fall will continue seen as though WWE will prob still try and make it upto Sandow after using him to push Super Cena... Well I am wrong.. Ziggler wins, and it was the best match of the night...
HOUR 3
Here comes Super Cena with his arm in a sling because of the assault last week against ADR... and once again, he isnt 100%, but thats the same story as to when he won the title and then the same story when he beat Sandow... its just a rehashed storyline that they have dragged out over a month... and now we get a replay of the beat down last week...blah blah blah, usual Cena promo, out comes ADR.. usual heel response... blah blah... Cena arm isnt really hurt, oh wow, big shocker...
3MB come out and their opponents arrive and its R-Truth and Xavier Woods... One good thing for Xavier Woods is that if this wrestling career doesnt work, he should do well as a Richard Pryor look a like haha. But for now it appears the wrestling job is working as Richard Pryor gets the win over McIntrye
Backstage... Triple H tells Randy that there is no help from him or The Shield this Sunday at Survivor Series, so then noone can doubt he is the face of the WWE when he beats Big Show on his own...
We get a live performance of the Survivor Series song next.. Fast Forward
Out next is the 'Best Beard' as CM Punk and D-Bry come out to team with Rhodes & Goldust and The Uso's to take on The Shield & Wyatts.. So the match starts at the first 18 minutes just allows everyone to have there showing in the ring etc... and then it begins to breakdown and we get towards the interesting bit at the end... few close calls, Punk nearly wins, then Ambrose nearly wins, then a spear , then cross rhodes, then Rollins gets his showing, etc etc Bodies fly all over... Punk gets the win eventually on Ambrose after a Go to sleep...
Punk and D-Bry celebrate in the ring then Real Americans, and Wyatts come in ring and attack Punk and D-Bry then Boom.. Rey Rey runs out for the save... the little man takes out all of these big guys on his own.. who needs Super Cena when you have Super Rey... and the show ends with the crowd chanting YES YES and D-Bry, Punk and Rey Rey in the ring then joined by Usos and Rhodes and Goldust, who all get back to their feet just as The Wyatts have been taken care of by Rey Rey.
Erm... Not the big go home show I was expecting...
