| Eh, thought it was pretty boring until the main event.
Edge/Cena Promo - Just to advertise Unforgiven. Nothing worth nothing.
Jeff Hardy vs Johnny Nitro - Love how athletic Johnny Nitro is. This guy is amazing and will only get better. No titles changing hands was obvious. Loved the way Melina just grabbed the ref to stop him from counting. I still remember when she was on Smackdown. She just crawled in the ring, and screamed at the ref. The ref got startled and stopped counting. Hilarious stuff!
Trish/Lita/Orton/Carlito backstage segment - Good stuff. Involved all 4 who all have matches at the PPV.
Masters vs Super Crazy - WWE... why!? Quit taking Smackdown guys and putting them on RAW. But in this case, Super Crazy should be asking "why!?" Sure, Super Crazy hasn't been on Smackdown the past month or so... but this guy needs the Cruiserweight division. There's nothing for him on RAW. They gave Super Crazy the win, that's fine... but that does nothing for Super Crazy, and hurts Chris Masters. Smart booking..!
Vince/Shane/Show/DX Promo - Wow. This was boring. Even though the McMahons only talked a few minutes along with Show... it was really nothing we haven't seen or heard before. DX came out... zzz. I got the point that they were suppose to be pissed, but their lack of energy just standing at the titantron ramp really didn't work for me. Attacking the fake security with chairs and sledgehammers weren't believeable at all either.
Highlanders vs Cade/Murdoch vs Viscera/Haas - You gotta be kidding me. How predictable can the WWE get? I hate to bag at them so much, since I watch their product... but if you put this match on the card, who the hell would you think will win!? At least it was kept short. JR explained the rules that only 2 men should be in the ring at the same time, and you can tag any team. Apparently, Rory didn't know the freaking rules as he stayed "down" in the ring and got up to attack while he's not the legal man. The finish was unique (and we've seen it recently too), but again... predictable winners.
Flair/Umaga/Kane Promo - This felt like a promo to kill time. But it worked out good, as it promoted Kane vs Umaga at Unforgiven.
Cryme Time Promo - Pretty decent. I didn't laugh, but I'll give it another few weeks before I can warm up to them. But THIS is how new wrestlers should debut.
6 Person Tag. Cena/Carlito/Trish vs Edge/Orton/Lita - Before I comment about the match... I wanted to say I hated this match when it was booked earlier tonight on RAW. Edge/Cena already had their thing to open the show. This could have been the opportunity for fans to get more hyped for Orton vs Carlito and Lita vs Trish. But after seeing the match... I changed my mind.
This was a good match. The crowd waking up from the dead probably helped that. With the "Let's go Edge" and "Let's go Cena" chants. Hell, there was even a "Carlito" chant when he was being worked on! Good fast paced match. Nice job keeping Edge/Cena and Orton/Carlito away from each other most of the match. No need to give things away for free right? Carlito saving Trish from the Spear was great... but then the RKO was a surprise! Trish took it perfectly, well done. Good finish to a mostly boring RAW.
Can't wait for Smackdown. |
