I should have done this last night while the whole thing was fresh in my mind.
- opening: Dave should have joined. Dave needs to join. Dave is dumb. And I don't have the hardon of hate for Vickie that some do, but saying there is a "no physical contact" rule, then 5 minutes later saying she doesn't care if they beat each other to death is dumb and makes my head hurt
- I think there was some Diva stuff here, but I don't care a bit about Divas because they give me no reason to care. Mickey beat Maurice (fuck you Cole) and the crowd went meh
- Miz is awesome. He is now the third best thing on RAW (keep reading for the rest) He crushed Cena via promo and didn't get squashed, that is a plus. Did you know Cena was thrown through a 12 million watt search light? Seriously, it happened. They may have replayed it one or two billion times
- THE Brian Kendrick gets a win over Shitty Colon (see what I did there?) and the crowd went mild. Kendrick promises to get THE tag team partner soon and take the titles. Thats special. I just hope it is THE Jamie Noble so they can get THE future endeavored and both show up in TNA
- Santina shows up, and is her usual completely awesome self. Santino/a is the second best thing on RAW right now. Even though if it were anyone else the story with Beth would suck, Santino makes me laugh. A lot.
- IC title junk, I just don't like MVP, and last night did NOTHING to change that. Loud mouth, brash, just about annoying with his promos as Cena has ever been. I hear that he is good in the ring, yet I haven't seen it. On the flipside, I know Kofi is good in the ring, he just really annoys me and I want to see him used as a lawn dart. I have always dug Regal and hopes he treats MVP like Goldberg at some point, and for some reason, despite my best efforts, I am digging whiny Matt Hardy
- When Randy was kneeling over Ted in the back, we reached Mexican Soap Opera levels of bad acting there, and despite what some people want to think (Rick) it was not on Orton, I can only imagine the writers sitting around cooking that story up thinking it would build drama.
- The Main Event - we keep castrating Legacy. Just great. What should have ended with Batista left lying in a pool of blood (preferably his own) ended with Batista getting the better of not one, not two, but THREE of the top heels on RAW. Let that sink in. Batista. The Animal. The man that once tried to beat up the ring outsmarted someone who was not in a constant vegetative state. Good writing RAW creative.
Idiots
So, on the ol Moose-O-Meter RAW gets a .5 this week, up just a touch from last week because Santino really made me laugh, and Miz became a must see segment for me. Way to raise the bar, nothing I am really interested in on RAW has ANYTHING to do with what is going on in the ring.
