So another Monday brings another WWE Monday Night RAW.
Show opens with this weeks special guests host Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne, I really don't care for this whole "weekly host" thing there have only been a handful who have brought anything good to the table... Opening segment really brought nothing new to the show or to get me excited for it just set up the matches later in the night or in the case of the Miz, right after commercial.
Miz and Evan Bourne put on a good show, people hate on Miz all the time for being an old Real World cast member but it breaks down to him being a wrestling fan. That showed when he was on the RW and has carried into his career, the guy is putting in genuine effort to better himself and it shows. Evan Bourne is the best WWE high-flier since the Hardys/E&C feud in the early 2000's. Solid match between the two, Miz wins.
Kofi Kingston v. Randy Orton has potential to be a GREAT story if they play it out right. I've been a Kofi fan since he debuted on ECW and been an Orton fan since like 2005. Match got turned into a six-man-tag-team-extravaganza, which is good, this entire match was setup for Survivor Series where Kofi and Orton will most likely be captains on their respective teams.
Sheamus damn near killed Jamie Noble, stiff shots and such. Either Noble sold like a champ or he actually got hurt on that powerbomb.
Throwaway segments, RAW's got Talent to play off Sharon Osbourne then a women's battle royal. I nearly fell asleep with seven hot women on my screen if that tells you anything.
Main event Triple Threat: Cena v. Jericho v. Big Show w/ D-Generation X on commentary. Pretty solid match featuring Cena v. Jericho/Big Show or one of the two. Standard breakdown between JeriShow towards the end of the match and a nice way to make Show look strong and Jericho still sneaky with him falling on Cena after Show delivers the knockout punch. I like where they are taking the story with Jericho and Big Show as tag champs. DX added nothing to the match, if anything they took away from it. Best part of them being on commentary was when Shawn admitted he knew he was the Robin to Triple H's Batman.
Overall thoughts: If i had started this blog a week ago I would've had a much more solid show to write about, but this is these are the setup shows leading into one of the "Big 4" pay-per-views so I can see why they booked the show the way they did.
Have a nice night kiddos.
