Funaki vs Matt Morgan
In a bout that had terrible wrestling and non-existent crowd heat, Matt Morgan defeated Funaki in 6:32 by pinfall with a Carbon Footprint.
Rating: E+
Omb Thoughts: Nothing really to say bout this one it is good to see that Morgan is able to get a decent enough match to showcase the monster that he is.
Match Announcement for the main event!
Stephanie McMahon announces that tonight Shawn Michaels will take on not only Chris Jericho, but RVD as well in a 2-on-1 Handicap Match.
Rating: B-
OMB Thoughts: So Steph gonna stack the deck against HBK here tonight I will say you would think irl there be a better chance of RVD & HBK vs. Jericho or a HBK/Jericho vs. RVD anyway this should still be a banger.
Chavo Guerrero Jr. vs Matt Sydal
In a bout that had decent wrestling but little heat, Chavo Guerrero Jr. defeated Matt Sydal in 11:02 by pinfall with a Gory Bomb.
Rating: C-
OMB Thoughts: Chavo vs. Sydal I would honestly say at this time there be a good chance of this being a Heat Main Event sounds like a solid match though. Chavo winning is right call.
Too Cool vs Three Minute Warning
In a bout that had decent wrestling but little heat, Three Minute Warning defeated Too Cool in 7:03 when Rosey defeated Brian Christopher by submission.
Rating: C
OMB Thoughts: Another good match to help solidify your tag team on raw I would of said to break up the two matches after going back to back though.
Punk finds a note?
CM Punk finds a note, saying that SOON he will come, and take care of him.
Rating: C
OMB Thoughts: Soon he will come I wonder who it is I would guess Raven. I do think building up Punk slowly is a good idea rather then pushing him as the top guy.
Bradshaw vs Batista
In a decent match, Batista defeated Bradshaw in 7:43 by pinfall with a Batista Bomb.
Rating: B-
OMB Thoughts: This as we know ends up as the top feud on SD IRL but, still this sounds like a banger and again it builds up Batista nicely. I wonder is Batista mic skills good in the mod?
CM Punk vs Dustin Rhodes
In a decent match, CM Punk defeated Dustin Rhodes in 13:07 by pinfall with a GTS. CM Punk makes defence number 2 of his WWE Intercontinental title.
Rating: C+
OMB Thoughts: Again prob would of broken up with a promo but two back to back good matches I wouldnt complain Punk/Dustin sounds like a lot of fun and now thinking about it maybe we are seeing a Goldust return?
MAN DOWN MAN DOWN!
We cut backstage to where RVD has been the victim of an attack, being no way he will be able to compete tonight.
Rating: B-
OMB Thoughts: So RVD is down wonder who attacked him lol. So now its Jericho/HBK I am down with that
Edge vs Christopher Daniels
In a bout that had good wrestling and a decent reaction from the crowd, Edge defeated Christopher Daniels in 12:12 by pinfall with a Spear.
Rating: B
OMB Thought: This match again sounds fun and I love the idea of Daniels getting a chance to be showcased even in a lost to up and comer Edge does wonders.
Kidman vs Booker T
In a decent match, Booker T defeated Billy Kidman in 10:29 by pinfall with a Scissors kick.
Rating: B-
OMB Thoughts: You know what I am going to say by not breaking this up with a promo but, Kidman & Booker is another strong match. Booker T gets a real chance to shine against a guy you know can go in the ring. You would think Kidman might get lost here in Raw as compared to Smackdown but, even losses like this can help build him.
Not so fast!
Stephanie McMahon comes on the screen and says that she knows that it was Shawn, Hunter, and his buddies who took out RVD earlier, and if Shawn thinks he's going to have a one on one match now, he's sadly mistaken. Because she found a replacment, and that replacement is Kenta Kobashi
Rating: B
OMB Thoughts: So you dropped King Kenta Kobashi gimmick is that due to the KKK because you could honestly do a funny exchange between him and Hogan due to the gimmick and implications there. Jericho/Kenta vs. HBK sounds like a good main event even if I don't know this Kenta you have built him up as this unbreakable force and didnt go the foreign heel route so kudos not to say it be bad given he is a king as well.
Chris Jericho and Kenta Kobashi vs Shawn Michaels
This match didn't last long, because Triple H runs in and attacks Jericho, causing the match to end in a little over six minutes.
Rating: B-
OMB Thoughts: So the match breaks down huh sounds like....
NOW HOLD ON A SECOND PLA...WAIT WRONG GM.
Stephanie comes out, pissed at what happened. So she said if they want to play it like this, that we're having a tag team match RIGHT NOW! RESTART THE MATCH!
Rating: B-
OMB Thoughts: Yes that what I though steph channeling her inner teddy long to make this tag team match.
Chris Jericho and Kenta Kobashi vs Triple H and Shawn Michaels
In an exceptional match, Chris Jericho and Kenta Kobashi defeated Shawn Michaels and Triple H in 17:56 when Kenta Kobashi defeated Shawn Michaels by pinfall with a Lariat.
Rating: A
OMB Thoughts: King Kenta gets the W in a huge win over Shawn Michaels with this you have strap a rocket to him and he is now on the way to becoming the top guy.
Overall Rating: B+
OMB Thoughts: Overall a good show lot of good matches Kenta looks like a beast and everything on Raw seems to be getting better.
don't show that disrespect.
i just used the show and wrote it in black under every segment.
