Hey again. I'm here to give my thoughts on last night's RAW and to hear yours! First off, I want to say to those people who usually read my blogs that I have given up trying to write a blog on SummerSlam. I've started twice and both times, I somehow accidentally deleted it. So I assume that for some reason, I'm not meant to write it...
So, last night's RAW was very eventful. It starts off with Chris Jericho coming out to talk about his disgusting actions at SummerSlam. He states that what happened was an accident but refuses to take responsibility. He blames Shawn Michaels, saying that Shawn is the one that put Rebecca in harms way. He is really turning into a very mean heel. I like the other heel Jericho. I want that Jericho...
First match of the night is Batista going one-on-one with Paul Burchill. Did you see Batista trip as he was trying to get into the ring? HAHAHA That was quite funny. Burchill put up a good fight but was unable to overcome the Batista Bomb. Pretty good match but not my favorite.
Backstage segment with RAW General Manager, Mike Adamle introducing Raw's newest Superstar, Primo Colon, brother of Carlito. But apparently he isn't very important as Adamle blew him off to go and talk to John Cena. Pretty low to diss your new Superstar. Judging by the rumors of Carlito's anger of not being used properly has also fallen on his younger brother as well. He hasn't even started and is already getting pushed away. Nice job WWE!
Next match was a Divas tag match. We start off having to mute the television as Jillian is "singing". Eeekkk! She is teaming up with Katie Lea to take on Mickie James and Kelly Kelly. I swear, if Jillian loses any more weight, she is going to blow away. She is starting to look gross. I'm not one to go on about fashion and hair and all things girly but I loved all the Divas outfits. Especially Mickie's. It was adorable. Anyway...at one point in the match when Kelly jumped on Katie's shoulders, I thought she was gonna fall. I was holding my breath the whole time! haha Mickie and Kelly got the win after Mickie DDT'd Katie. Nice DDT by the way. Good match! QUICK NOTE: It's hard for me to watch Jillian take a hit now because she looks so fragile and I'm afraid she'll break...
Is anyone just as annoyed as I am at seeing Jamie Noble getting beaten up every week. He's a great wrester and I want to actually see him in a match with someone closer to his size so we can see actual competition. I hate squash matches! Noble was taken out by JBL this week after a few vicious clotheslines! Man, they were brutal! SIDE NOTE: I hate watching JBL do those multiple elbow drops. It's like drop, get up, drop, get up, drop, get up...it's not very impressive. It just looks like you are running out of things to do!
Then before a commercial break we hear that there is going to be a "Blockbuster Announcement". It turns out that at Unforgiven, there is going to be a new type of match called a "Championship Scramble", if I'm correct. I'm not sure I totally understand it completely but sounds interesting enough. The participants in this match are announced as current World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk, Kane, JBL, Batista, and John Cena. This should be interesting...
Next up was Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase in an 2-on-1 match against John Cena. Before Cena comes out, we hear Cryme Tyme's music and they come flying down the entrance ramp. Shad gets up on the ring apron and JTG flies over, grabs the world tag titles and they are gone! HAHAHAHA NICE! I was laughing so hard! So, getting to the match. I'm starting to like Ted DiBiase. I may be going a little overboard but I think he is the next Randy Orton. Everytime I see him wrestle, I see Randy Orton. I think he'll make a great singles heel one day!!! Back to the match...I have already said how I despise the "Five Knuckle Shuffle"...(ugh even the name is stupid) but I love Cena's FU and STFU. I loved the way Cena did the STFU on Cody. It really looked painful!!! Pretty good match!
We then see a video from SummerSlam with Michael Cole trying to get a word from Shawn Michaels about Rebecca's condition. He says that he is going to go home and comfort his wife and then....and then...."and then what, SHAWN!?" There is NO WAY that this is over. Michaels is going to come back and tear Jericho apart!!!
Next up was Santino Marella vs D-Lo Brown. Pretty good match but ended in a Disqualification after Beth stepped in to get between Santino and D-Lo. D-Lo yelled at her to "get to steppin'" before she slapped him resulting in the ref calling for the bell. Santino steps in to "take care of it" but gets knocked out of the ring by D-Lo. This in turn caused Santino to hit the announce table where the former Intercontinental Champ, Kofi Kingston was seated. Kingston slams Santino's face into the annouce table. I love Kofi!
There was a promo for WWE 24/7 showing a Bikini Contest between Torrie Wilson and Stacy Keibler that resulted in Tajiri coming out to take Torrie away. Trish Stratus makes her way to the ring and pretty much wins the contest. The reason I brought this up is because I was wondering if there are any Trish Stratus or Lita DVDs? There should be!!! Especially Lita!
Kane comes out to new eerie theme music. I like it! Did it look like he had something in his teeth? Anyway...he does a good promo talking about how he doesn't like Rey Mysterio or anyone that does. haha This results in Rey's friend Batista storming down to the ring to confront Kane. Batista ends up getting chokeslammed. Is this a new feud?
Last match....Chris Jericho vs CM Punk. Punk got an amazing crowd response from his hometown of Chicago, Illinois. I bet that feels good to hear your hometown people cheer you on. Pretty great match between these two. Jericho did 2 really cool holds that I don't know the name of. It was pretty cool. CM Punk looked like he had the match won after a high knee to Jericho on the second rope and a bulldog. Jericho ends up hitting Punk with the Codebreaker for the win. Pretty interesting. I like the way both of these guys wrestle. Makes for a good match.
So, there's my opinion....what's yours?


i thought last nights Raw was great, different but i liked it, it kinda went off earlier than usual though so that sucked. and i like kanes kinda new music. so that was cool to see the change.
