Hello again! Hope everyone enjoyed Unforgiven and RAW. Unfortunately I missed Unforgiven but I still have a few thoughts on the winners and I'll throw them in every now and then.
Last night's RAW was pretty good. The show started with our new World Heavyweight Champion Chris Jericho. I'm still not sure what I think about Jericho being World Champ. I mean, he is definitely championship material. He is a very talented wrestler, his mic skills are...as we all know, AMAZING and he gets a great response from the crowd. But, the way he won it just kills the whole thing. I mean, he was supposed to take this huge beating from HBK at Unforgiven where he can't even continue the match and then is able to go on later to win the Championship Scramble to become new World Heavyweight Champion. It makes me think, well, that match with Shawn Michaels must not have been too good since he was able to compete in another match. Well, it made for a quite interesting and shocking ending to the pay-per-view, I guess. I just hate that CM Punk wasn't able to defend it. That is why I was extremely excited to hear RAW GM, Mike Adamle announce to Jericho that next week, he will defend the World Championship against CM Punk in a Steel Cage Match! Yes!!!
Next up was a Women's Championship match with the winner going on to No Mercy to wrestle Candice Michelle. Well, to me it was obvious that Beth was going to win this. Who better to fight Candice at the next PPV than the woman who put her out of wrestling for 10 months! Candice was a little annoying at ringside though. As a friend on here, Steve Barnes said in his blog, she was creeping me out as she sat there smiling and giggling to herself. Its like, "what's so funny, Candice?" I like Candice Michelle, though. I can't wait to see her face Beth one-on-one at No Mercy. She looks great.
Poor Jamie Noble! Last night he fought William Regal again and brought Layla to ringside with him. I was not so surprised to see Regal get the win in this match but I was VERY surprised to see Layla walk out with him. I'm very excited to see what happens next!
I was extremely bummed to see JBL in the next match. I was like "ugh, who is he gonna fight this week"....when I heard, "I'm in here! Let me out! I'm in the trunk!" HAHAHAHA Charlie Haas does it again!!! No, excuse me...CHL, Charles Haas Layfield this week! He did a hilarious impersonation of the self-proclaimed "wrestling god". JBL left the ring in disbelief and anger and CHL won by count out! I hope he does this again next week! It is almost as funny as watching Santino Marella! hahaha I just can't wait to see who else he can dress up as!!!! Batista and Kelly Kelly seemed to think it was funny!!!!
Next up was an incredible match with Evan Bourne and Rey Mysterio (AWESOME TAG TEAM) to face The Miz and John Morrison. Two great high-flyers in Rey and Evan. As most of you know, I'm a huge fan of the high-flyers. Then you add in the Shaman of Sexy and The Chick Magnet. I knew this match was going to ROCK! And rock, it did! Rey and Evan put together some awesome double team moves and I think this was the match of the night!!! (SIDE NOTE: Sign guy in the red hat and blue shirt was bothering me as he was standing during most of the show. He's very distracting) Anyway...I especially loved this match because it was so fast-paced. I mean, near the end there were were bodies flying everywhere! With guys like Rey, Evan and Morrison...I was really hoping for this kind of match!!! The ending of this match gave me crazy chills as Rey hit Morrison with the 619 and tagged in Evan for the Shooting Star Press to get the win! Oh my gosh! This is the kind of tag teams the WWE needs more of! This was one of the best matches I've seen in a long time!
The celebration of that match was cut short as Kane interrupted. He says that next week, he and Rey are going to go one-on-one and he and everybody else will know why Rey is a victim. He says he's gonna let everyone know why he chose Rey but not tell us yet. Kane revealed a hint as he held up his old mask. I really hope that Kane doesn't go back to wearing his mask. I hated it!
Randy Orton comes out next to talk about what he did at Unforgiven to CM Punk. Making it sound like he did it all himself, the World Tag Team Champions Rhodes and DiBiase followed by their new "associate", They come out to say that Orton would have never been able to take out Punk if it wasn't for their help. I think that Cody Rhodes is really good on the mic! Manu then says that his father is also a Hall of Famer and that Randy is no better than any of them. Ted starts to put in his words saying that what they all did to Punk was impressive and then Orton smacked him right across the face. He must have hit him good too because DiBiase fell to one knee. I kinda felt bad for him. Orton left the ring and stared them down. I still think that they are all going to form some kind of multi-generational group with Orton as the "leader". Now all they need is a female. The only female that qualifies for that at the moment is Natalya and she's on Smackdown so that isn't going to work. Oh well. It's still cool to think about. :)
Random Unforgiven thought: I thought that the Divas title match at Unforgiven was pretty good. I just watched it and even though Maryse was in it, it was pretty cool. I didn't think it was that bad. I really don't think it was pay-per-view worthy but it was still pretty good. I'm sooo glad Maryse didn't win. The crowds response to Michelle winning really bums me out. I still hate that she isn't getting the response she deserves! I think she is great. Why is everyone so against her!?
Back to RAW...next match I want to talk about was Santino Marella vs Snitsky. Santino is awesome! He is so freaking funny! He's always yelling something really funny during his matches! He was able to steal a win and celebrated outside the ring with Beth Phoenix. Was it just me or was Snitsky eyeing them? It was freaking me out!
The main event was World Champion, Chris Jericho vs Batista. A little while after the match started, Mike Adamle came out to make a little change to the match. Instead of Jericho going one-on-one with Batista, it was going to be a handicap match with Jericho teaming up with JBL to take on Batista. I don't remember much about this match except that after it, JBL and Lance Cade beat up on Batista as Jericho watched from the top of the ramp cradling his World Title.
So, these were my thoughts and I hope to hear yours...


I agree about Jericho, that was just an odd thing for him to be beat up to the point he couldn't continue and then win a title. The Steel Cage should be great! Candice was giggling a lot, I don't really understand that but, whatever. That Women's Title match was pointless, they wouldn't put a face diva vs a face diva for the title. I hope Jamie keeps this feud going, it's about time he got some tv time. CHL was by far the best Haas gimmick so far. Rey & Bourne = Simply amazing. I wish they were a full time tag team. Side note: Is ECW no longer a brand? They have a 'talent exchange' with Raw & SD. It's kind of weird. Masked Kane's gonna make his return ;) I believe they will form that group as well, they could use something new like that in WWE. I don't think Michelle is ever going to win fans over, they all think of her as just another diva search girl. The Snitsky/Santino match was no more than a filler to me. The main event was somewhat boring to me, I didn't really pay much attention to it, that might be because Batista was in there though. Great Blog Fefe! :)
