Oh what a joyous day! Today is Martin Luther King, Jr. day, and it’s only fitting that tomorrow morning is the inauguration of the first black president in United States history, Barack Obama. I’m counting down the hours until Dubya is gone, but for our purposes today, that’s pretty irrelevant.
Today is also joyous for another reason – Mr. McMahon returns to Monday Night RAW! It’s fitting, perhaps, that the last time Mr. McMahon was on WWE television was also the last time I had to write a review of RAW the way I’m doing tonight – I’ll be writing most of it here at home, then finishing it once I get to work. For you early adopters of the BoredWrestlingFan brand of Sports Entertainment coverage, no, the power was never turned back on at my job – in fact, the place is now out of business. I started a new job doing exactly what I was doing before – sadly for less money.
Anyways, you’re not here to read about my life (I’ve got ThinkSoJoE’s Thoughts for that!), you’re here to read about Monday Night RAW! Fear not, loyal readers, the results are after the jump! (more…)
Tonight, we’ve got a fatal four way elimination match to determine the number one contender to John Cena’s World Heavyweight Championship. I’ve also heard we’ve got a Diva’s battle royal. Guess what, kids, we’re going real-time tonight! Don’t forget to refresh every few minutes for the latest updates!
Full results (in real-time) after the jump! (more…)
I’ve been sitting on my ass the last four hours and haven’t even thought about Armageddon until just now. There’s less than 8 minutes until the show, so I’m going to run through the card real quick and give you my predictions!
Jericho vs. Cena – World Title – Cena
Edge vs. Jeff Hardy vs. HHH – Edge.
CM Punk vs. Rey Mysterio – Punk. I was going to say Mysterio, but after Punk dropped the tag titles last night, it seems more logical that he’d be in line for the Intercontinental Championship.
Matt Hardy vs. Vladimir Kozlov – Kozlov
Batista vs. Randy Orton – Orton
Michelle McCool, Maria, Mickie James & Kelly Kelly vs. Victoria, Natalya, Jillian & Maryse – I didn’t even know about this one, but I’m going to say Victoria’s team.
Finlay vs. Mark Henry – Whoever wins, hopefully this will be the end of it. Which would indicate that Finlay will probably win.
Enjoy Armageddon, I’ll be around tomorrow with a review!
Alright, long time readers know that we don’t usually do show previews here on the site. In fact, I’m not even sure if “preview” is the right word for this particular article. Last week in the RAW on DVR review, I looked at the six nominees for WWE Superstar of the year. This morning I’d like to take a deeper lookat the Slammys, since the nominees have all been revealed. (more…)
Well folks, as announced yesterday, from now on you’ll be getting DVR reviews of all the WWE shows from yours truly, as my shift at work has changed to 3-11. We’re kicking things off with the post Survivor Series RAW, where John Cena is our new World Heavyweight Champion!
I should’ve done this when I re-watched the show, but since I didn’t, here’s the quick results of WWE Survivor Series 2008.
Team HBK defeated Team JBL. Your sole survivors: HBK, Rey Mysterio, & The Great Khali. I’ve always hated when there’s more than one person left on the winning team, and they call them “Sole Suvivors.” That’s like naming a band “The Lone Rangers.” Isn’t that right, cast of Airheads?
Team RAW Divas defeated Team SmackDown Divas. Your sole survivor: Beth Phoenix. Maryse put on a pretty strong showing in this one.
The Undertaker defeated The Big Show in a casket match. In a unique finish, Show destroyed the first casket, but when a second casket was brought out, he stood it up on it’s side. The Undertaker whipped Show into it, sending it crashing to the ground with Show inside, the lid closing behind him.
Team Orton defeated Team Batista. Your sole survivors: Randy Orton and Cody Rhodes. Orton blind tagged Rhodes when Batista had him up for a Batista Bomb. The Legend Killer dropped the unsuspecting Batista with an RKO for the victory.
Edge defeated Triple H and Vladimir Kozlov in a triple threat match to win the WWE Championship. Yes, you read that right, Edge won the WWE Championship. Storyline wise, Jeff Hardy was assaulted in his hotel and rendered unable to compete in the match. The match started off as a singles match between Triple H and Vladimir Kozlov. After a hard fought fight, Triple H dropped Kozlov with a Pedigree, though he was too out of it to make the cover. Vickie Guerrero game out on the stage and announced that it’s going to be a triple threat after all, because “he’s here!” “He” turned out to be Edge, who came out and speared Triple H. Before he could make the cover though, Jeff Hardy came out and attacked him. Hardy swung with a chair, missing Edge and connecting with The Game, followed by a shot for the Moscow Mauler. When he went to swing for Edge, he ate a spear instead. Edge covered Triple H for the three and won the WWE Championship!
John Cena def. Chris Jericho to win the World Heavyweight Championship. After the match, Cena celebrated with his family in the crowd before walking up the ramp triumphant as the new World Heavyweight Championship.
Looks like we’ve got a good week of WWE programming in store for us this week!
It’s the 800th episode of Monday Night RAW! Confirmed for tonight’s show, Miz and Morrison take on Cryme Tyme, Evan Bourne takes on Kane, and Beth Phoenix takes on Kelly Kelly.
Sort of detailed results (I’m not up for full play by play at the moment); after the jump! (more…)
What will new World Heavyweight Champion Chris Jericho have to say after his big win last night? What kind of condition is the new champ in? What’s with the new alliance between the World Tag Team Champions and newcomer Manu? What about CM Punk, what’s his condition? One way to find out! Watch the damned show! Or you could just read on…
I’ll be around with full results of Unforgiven at some point tomorrow, but for now I just want to let everybody know that CM Punk was taken out before the World Heavyweight Championship Scramble Match by Randy Orton. He was replaced with Chris Jericho, who picked up the winning pinfall on Kane to become the World Heavyweight Champion!
