Very anticipated and overall good Raw this week. Ill save the Jericho swerve for later. The Diva battle royal was funny as hell and the mini match between Melina and Mickey was nice with all the reversals then finishing by Melina eliminating both of them. What I didn't understand was Kelly Kelly actually winning the royal but atleast Beth took out Kelly Kelly.
The tag team division is starting to get a story but still going no where. Cade and Murdoch are tweeners I guess and still champs yet haven't defended the title in a long time. I don't know the tag division just annoys me seeing the same every week and yet the titles not changing hands.
Hornswaggle getting angry seemed like it would turn Hornswaggle vs. Coach into a good match. Throw in Foley and totally sway the match from a good story to just a match for shits and giggles. Foley needs to retire once and for all to keep whatever legacy he has. With him keep making these comebacks is watering down whatever legacy he has left. But in the end this match can be summed up with two moves. The lil socko and the 5 star tadpole splash lol.
The heels are the real highlight of Raw at the moment. Santino's Promo was just gold, bald cap and open up a can of ass whoop. Santino is definitely one of the top heels in WWE at the moment. I impressed that the writers have finally given up on Simmons facing Santino and focus solely on Santino and Austin. Like I said about Foley goes for Austin also, he is just watering down his legacy at the moment. Next week is just gonna be Austin stunning Santino, end of that feud.
The tag match with Jeff and Smith facing Carlito and Kennedy was possibly the match of the week. Good push for Smith and a nice revenge for loss thing with Carlito, he really showed the anger from losing. One of my favorite moments during the match had to be Kennedy tagging Carlito in front of the ref yelling you see this? Just good heel and story telling moments. My only problem is how much Carlito and Kennedy are jobbing.
The main event had a nice build up only because everyone was expecting Jericho to return at the end of the night. The handicap match was fast paced and sadly I didn't pay much attention to it, all I saw was trips hit Orton, he flies out of the ring. Hits Umaga, he flies out of the ring. Trips goes for pedigree, Orton interrupts then HBK ruins the match. Even though im enjoying the more darker and vengeance filled HBK, its annoying when we cant have decent beat downs ending Raw anymore.
Jericho probably had Raws ratings sky rocket this week, save_us 229 my ass. So they hyped the shit out of that video and now I guess its Nov 19, since we saw 19 show like a 100 times each promo. I will admit I was suckered into it, I even went as far as taping it last night. So seeing as how its now gonna be the day after Survivor Series that Jericho supposedly returns, there is no reason to be getting all ancy and thinking its gonna be Raw each week that he returns.
In the end Raw was great and had more steam than usual but ultimately failed to me being as Jericho didn't make his much anticipated return last night.
I guess DX return for the 1,000,000th time FTW?!?
