What time is it? It's "Raw's Revenge" time. Getting more popular every week, it's an all in one review. Now I was extremely disappointed with Raw. Last night's show was one of the least action packed wrestling shows I've seen, honestly. Maybe I am being too harsh or over exaggeration, but it was terrible.
Now I was surprised when Raw first came on. It started right away with a divas match. Last week the divas didn't have their own match, which got a bad review from me, but now they had it and it had some good action. They put on some great moves, so I have to say this was probably Raw's second best match this week.
I just can't tell you what I thought of Raw's matches. Really it wasn't the matches but the action. The ECW/RAW match disappointed me. I was expecting a great tag team contest right here. it wasn't. Kofi Kingston wrestled pretty much the whole time and when he was in the ring, it made the match drag on. He was just getting manhandled in the ring. The only entertaining part of the match, in my mind, was when Kofi tagged in Punk. When he came in, he was hitting Morrison and The Miz with Kicks, front punches, and backhands. He was going crazy. Punk didn't stay in long but the ending was well planned. The Miz tagged John and got the school boy on Punk after the GTF. I never saw it coming, which is what I wanted.
On the bright side, the main event was particularly different. Adamlie said it was going to be unpredictable, it was! I didn't know who the stars were going to be in the match, which made it exciting as I didn't know what was going to happen next. I figured out that Kane was going to be the last person as he haven't seen him at all during the show and I knew he was going to be part of something as he is wrestling at Cyber Sunday. William Regal didn't last long, I didn't expect him to, but Mark and Kane did last longer. Overall, I didn't know who would win, Batista did, but it was exciting.
The BEST part of the night was the comedy. Now I say time after time again that Raw is not a comedy act. Certainly, I am happy they had the comedy because that made Raw better. If they didn't have the comedy, Raw would have been the worst show I had ever seen in professional wrestling. The comedy I am talking about is Santino, Beth, and Hackshaw. Santino was dressed up just like Rowdy Piper, had the hair and guitar of Honky Tonk Man, and had the face of Goldust. The jokes that Santino made about those stars just made the whole show. I loved it. Then Hackshaw Jim Duggan came out and started to confront Santino. Both insulted each other back and forth. What was really funny was Hackshaw calling Beth Santino's Boyfriend. Then he called her tough guy (haha, funny stuff). But all of a sudden, Santino SMASHES Jim with the guitar (who does Santino think he is? Jeff Jarret?!). I always love Santino coming out because I know he will do some insane funny jokes.
To tell you the truth, the comedy MADE Raw. If it wasn't for the comedy, then Raw wouldn't get the rating I am giving them. With the comedy, it is higher. The rating I give Raw this week is a 3 out of 5 star. 3 may sound good but it's on the border line between 2.5 and 3. Raw NEEDS to be good next week and if they don't, then I won't be watching Raw anymore. Really, with this kind of show it's wasting my time. Also to make note, this was Raw right before a PPV! The shows before the PPV are always the last chance to gain the audience. It didn't gain me and I don't think it gained anyone. That's my rating, what yours?
