Welcome everyone.
This week's Raw started out bad but ended amazing. I loved the ending so much I watched it again online. But we'll get to that.
It seems Creative is getting a little stupid recently. This is why:
- They still have not given Cena better lines to say
- They still don't try to change/add some more in-ring skills.
- They can't do any better than tag matches for the MITB participants.
- Same for the 25 diva battle royal.
This is why I have a small doubt that the HBK/Taker match won't be the best of the night-Creative might mess it up
Anyway, the show started with the diva match. Faces won. Good to see Tiffany in the ring. Will we ever see any more diva matches like the Trish Stratus vs Mickie James at Mania 20 or 21(I forgot which).And then Santino had to come out in a 'mankini' It really cracked me up. I love Santino-he's so funny. But never again. And please don't put him in the Battle Royal. Santino should get in a serious rivalry with Regal or someone.
Chris Jericho beat Lawler. His match at Mania is my least favorite. I feel like I'd rather see Jericho vs Lawler at Mania than the handicap match. This match was ok, not that great. I still hope Stone Cold or someone will make an appearance after his handiap match at WM. Yeah, right. I think Sim Snuka should've been involved since Jimmy Snuka is. Is he released? I don't think he is.
You've probably heard this before and I say it too: Why put Rey Mysterio vs JBL for the title at Mania and then show it on Raw 6 days before it. Really? I was looking forward to it but since they already fought it out, they should take it out and put up an ECW Championship match, if it wasn't for the fact the IC Title hasn't been on the line at WM for a while.
Big Show vs Cena again? I was surprised that I thought this was the Match of the Night. And fortunately for all of us Cena lost, only 'cause even though I'm a fan of him, I don't like him to win every single time especially if he's gonna win at Mania. And Edge fought him at the end. I loved how he smiled. But, I think Edge has lost some of his heel personality...He's not that much of a sadistical freak anymore like with the Undertaker...Speaking of which...
Shawn Michaels had a funeral for the streak just like last year. Except I loved this year's promo more. It was great. I loved HBK's attire, made him look like he was cocky and that he thought of himself as the guy on top. Especially when he was walking backstage with his 'army' of pastors or whatever following him. He superkicked Taker again and did the crotch chop. I loved how when we all thought he was inside, he was actually under the casket. And how he smiled and just turned away when he was at the top of the ramp. Got under Taker's skin again. I like how it is one-sided because I know Taker is gonna win.
Another battle royal for the MITB. At least not a tag team match. I knew Kane would win. I don't know why. I just knew. It was alright. They could've done a promo again but that was actually good and not like in ECW.
And now comes the best part. Orton is talking. Says there was no IED. At least he's not a wuss anymore. And Vince comes out. He still walks like that even when he is angry. And then comes the money...Shane O'Mac. And then Triple H. A perfect scene right there when they were standing together. Loved this scene. Could've been 10 seconds longer. I didn't think Vince would be back. When he was back, I didn't think Shane. When he was back too, I thought Steph. But she didn't come. Oh well. If HHH is gonna win I think they should've put Orton kissing Steph this week. But this was perfect. Also, on a sidenote, while Orton was talking during his promo(which was pretty good) he reminded me of HHH and Obama). I also love how Rhodes and DiBiase are exposed and made to look like they're good, cause they are. Orton is awesome as a heel. But when Mr. McMahon came back, it was like someone who could match Orton.
The ratings might have been low cause 1) No one knew Vince would return and 2) the first hour sucked so they might've turned the TV off right there.
Overall it was a good Raw only cause of the HBK/Taker and the ending segments.
