Hey Guys and welcome to my review on Monday Night Raw, i have to say apart from the opening segment and the main event, everything else on Raw was a disappointment.
Shane McMahon taking out Orton was beginning to get tiring and after Legacy interfered it was pretty obvious MVP and Batista were going to even up the score, it was a ok opener but nothing great.
Matt Hardy v Kofi Kingston was ok, but Matt not being 100% is not helping his push at the moment, so i didn't quite get into Hardy last night, a decent match with Kofi Kingston getting the victory.
The Festus/Jillian sing off was a complete waste of time, it wasnt funny nor did it bring anything to the show.
Now the worst segment i have seen in Raw in a long time was after the Miz's good promo on John Cena, The Miz is doing really well on the mic and i am all for this push he is getting, but i have to say afterwards when Big Show destroyed Cena it was like the audience was sitting in a morgue, this segment was so bland and boring and for me no one actually cares about Big Show and it's a feud no one wants to see.
Cody Rhodes/MVP and Batista v Ted Dibiase were short and nothing attractive matches, a countout loss and a DQ loss didnt help the quiet Buffalo crowd one bit, i didnt get into any of these 2 matches and thats all i am saying about this.
Maryse v Mickie James was ok, but again nothing special, i really thought these two would put on a good match but for me it just didnt work last night, the only good thing about this match is that it looks like Mickie James is being pushed into the title picture again.
Carlito v The Brian Kendrick= Complete and utter pointless ****, too short and just a fill up to waste time on this lousy broadcast.
The Main event was good, Shane McMahon has finally been wiped out of the picture with Orton destroying his leg or ankle, good segment with Orton really promoting that he is WWE Champion and that he is the best heel on Raw by far and that now wipes out the entire McMahon family.
Overall i thought last night's show was boring, the crowd were dead all night, and i honestly believe that when the ratings comes out for this weeks Raw it's going to be worse of than it was last week when it got a 3.4
As always i would like your thought's on this column, either via WWE Universe or send me a email to sevillecfc@aol.com
UNTIL NEXT TIME
The Chosen One
i thought festus singing was pretty funny,as well as the miz's promo. its sad to see the calon brothers doing nothing with these unified tag titles. the rest of tonight was pretty bad.
