Oddly it seems we didn't have a Raw Thread for this week unless I'm missing something? well im not the best to come up with any snazzy little puns like we usually have for the title so lets just say what we thought of the show.
Opening segment i loved, mainly because i really like hearing R-Truth on the mic these days i find it crazy and funny. i loved when he said "when an anagry black mans talking yall need to shut up" and then del rio,miz and rey all almost started laughing. I also enjoyed when Ricardo hit that drop kick on Riley.lol.
I skipped the divas but watched the kharma attack and enjoyed it especially it being on Eve.didn't get as big of a reaction as she got on SD though.
Kane vs Mason Ryan was ok i guess i thought they would make mason Ryan look good again this week but they didn't really. hell they made all of nexus look bad, what a drop that group has taken especially MM and Otunga they are just know as little goons to become rubble and only good for a distraction. I really wish they would just kill the nexus group off for good no one cares about them anymore.
Ziggler vs Santino was...well it was good to see Ziggler get a match and a win. noo realy storyline or anythig here, just probably didn't have anything for Dolph which is a shame but Raw is pretty low on Faces though they could have started some sort of feud with ziggler and bourne. but eh oh well i guess they were just trying to get zioggler over a bit more.
Zack Ryder and John Cena fist umping was the highlight of the night for Raw. it honestly makes me like Cena more and i bet Zack wouldn't even be on the show but Cena probably requested it. just my guess though.
Then we have the Alex Riley stuff which i didn't think was bad but im just sick of him being with Miz. i thought he wouldn't be after the draft and they would go there own ways and it even looked like they might tonight. i thought him getting squashed by Cena was pretty much his farwell but it doesn't look like it was. it also gave away the result of the main event being Miz came out there and him and Cena built there feud up a bit but we didn't see del rio or rey.
Lawler,Cole,Swagger stuff i thought was actually pretty good. it didn't piss me off as it has done in recent weeks but im still sick of this feud. as we said in the chat when lawler was pulling Coles tie all i could think about was Daniel BRyan choking Justin Roberts with a tie last year, which i still think wasn't a legit firing but just a WWe created storyline for the internet to rally around him more so when he came back it would be a bigger deal.
Swagger vs Kingston was good, i totally thought we were gonna see Swagger become US champion which i would have liked, but the end made sense and kofi winning isn'ta bad thing either. then Swagger accepting the match on Cole's behalf is interesting i think king HAS to win this upcoming match which might be the end of cole loving Swagger which wouldn't be too good or maybe we get a Swagger face turn beings raw has overloaded themselves with heels.
Main event i thought was great fro the most part, ending a bit predictable but the match was good and i was really rooting for Rey to win this because i would love to see Cena vs Rey at the PPV for the title i think they would have a great match.
Miz won though with Riley redeeming himself which was kind of enjoyable because i just felt sorry for him and kind of annoying since it looks like he and miz will be together longer on Raw.
R-Truth attack on Rey i liked but it makes me wonder if Rey is gonna face Truth at over the limit i wonder What ALberto will be doing? obviously morrison injury made some changes here but it will be interesting to see where this goes.
No Drew Mcintyre tis week. like a lot of us thought him going to Raw with all those heels would not be a good idea. don't expecvt a push for Drew anytime soon he will probably end up like MVP but a heel which is a shame.
No Evan Bourne this week, Such a waste of Talent. i think Bourne is the best high flyer in the WWE and is a lot better than Sin Cara just doesn't have the backing. i would love for bourne to start getting a push and a much deserved one i believe.
Overall i thought raw was pretty enjoyable.
Here's the Dark matches and the Superstars matches for Raw.
- Former WWE World Tag Team Champion Trevor Murdoch worked a dark match prior to tonight's Raw taping in Knoxville, Tennessee. He lost to Evan Bourne.
Murdoch was was released from his contract with WWE on July 3, 2008.
- Matches taped tonight in Knoxville, Tennessee for this week's episode of WWE Superstars are as follows:
* Chris Masters vs. Drew McIntyre
* Vladimir Kozlov vs. Zack Ryder
- The Golf Canada's 2011 Team Ambassadors for Golf Fore the Cure has announced that Trish Stratus will take part in the program to bring awareness to breast cancer.
Gotta hope Drew and Zack pick up wins this week on superstars. not like it really matters though since no one watches it. more people watch Z! true long island story. I'm sure the Mrudoch dark math was a one time thing.
