I know, I know. I’v e been changing the format of the RAW review on a near weekly basis. I wasn’t intending to this time, but I wound up oversleeping and waking up just 5 minutes before the show started, leaving me with no time to set up a review. The important thing is, I watched RAW, and I’m going to tell you about it. Ready? Let’s go!
Finally – ThinkSoJoE… HAS COME BACK! to reviewing shows. I’ve been trying to get motivated to write about the programming lately, but I’ve been sleeping through most of it. RAW’s been boring, ECW’s been entertaining but I haven’t really been paying a lot of attention to it, and SmackDown hasn’t been bad – but I’m usually sleeping when it’s on. That’s the problem with working overnights, I guess. Anyway, Kofi Kingston will be taking on MVP for the United States Championship tonight, so without further adieu, let’s get started…
Hey people! Let’s get this review of WWE Superstars going.
First Match is a Diva’s Tag Match pairing Gail Kim and the very delicious Maria against Alicia Fox and Michelle McCool
The match starts off with Gail Kim against Alicia Fox. Kim starts on the offense then tags Maria in, who continues the attack. Alicia Fox throws Maria into the ropes and McCool kicks her in the back o’ the head. A couple of quick tags in the Fox/McCool corner take place and Michelle McCool starts to wear Maria down. Gail Kim distracts McCool and Maria kicks her in the head and makes her way over to Kim for the tag. Kim hits a neckbreaker off the top rope. Kim goes up for another top rope manuever, but McCool executes a kick to Kim and makes the cover for the 3-count. Winner : Michelle McCool and Alicia Fox. I give this match a 4 out of 10. I’m not the biggest fan of Diva wrestling, and this was a very average match.
Next up is Pirate Paul….oh wait its just Paul Burchill w/ Katie Lea now against Evan Bourne
Paul Burchill starts off with the offense, but Bourne turns the tables with his quickness. Burchill’s strength puts him back in control for a bit. The quickness of Air Bourne gives him some offense, but he seemingly hurts his knee. Burchill focuses in on that knee with the help of his sister Katie Lea at ringside. Bourne battles back and takes Burchill down with a series of kicks. Bourne goes for the Shooting Star Press, but Burchill climbs the ropes to prevent it. Bourne then punches him of the ropes and Burchill lands on his back, and Shooting Star Press for Bourne for the win. I love that move. It is the prettiest move I have ever seen. I give this match a 7.5 out of 10. I wish Bourne had gotten more high flying spots, but both men worked well.
Backstage interview with Cody Whodth and Ted DiBiase. Does anybody else like Legacy as much as me?
Oh yeah…Christian is the new ECW champion! There it is….my Cheap Christian plug of the week. I hope the PEEPulation is growing!
Anywho…the main event of the evening is Ted Dibiase 2.0 against one half of the Unified Tag Team Champions, Carlito
The lock up has TD2 sending Carlito into the corner and beating him down. Carlito then switches it and beats on Dibiase. Good back and forth matchup to start the match. Pretty cool spot with both men going over the top to the outside happens, as Superstars goes to break. Back from break, DiBiase is on the attack and stomps Carlito into the mat. TD2 is very Randy Ortonesque in the ring. Dibiase hits his Million Dollar Dream Slam when Carlito tries a springboard elbow. Winner of the match is Ted Dibiase. I give this match a 8.5 out of 10. Both men are legit in the ring, and it blows my mind how Carlito has never gotten a main event shot.
The show was pretty good, with the exception of the Diva Tag match. I like them giving airtime to Ted Dibiase on here. He is definitely a future main eventer and needs the exposure. I guess its time to leave you with a fact of life as I know it. Most Diva wrestling sucks!!! Peace out peoples.
Yes folks, the format from last week’s RAW is back! I liked the way last week’s turned out, even if it was a lot more work than normal, so we’re going with it again. Randy Orton is the WWE Champion after last night’s Backlash event, and Triple H was sent to the hospital, so tonight I suppose we’ll find out who’s going to step up to challenge the Legend Killer (not our Legend Killer, the WWE’s version) for his title.
I wasn’t home and missed the first half of SmackDown, so here are the results courtesy of tvfanatic.com:
WWE SmackDown was taped this week from London. In the main event, Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase took on Shane McMahon and Batista. Here’s a rundown of events and matches from the event…
– Edge comes (to the) ring and cuts promo on Sunday’s Backlash. Lots of heat when he mentions Vickie Guerrero. She sucks.
– Matt Hardy and Kane defeat Jeff Hardy and CM Punk; Solid match. Matt gets the rollup on Jeff for the victory.
– The Big Show defeats The Undertaker; The Big Show delivers a knockout blow to the back of Undertaker’s head. The referee stops the match because Undertaker can’t continue. But The Undertaker gets up and punches Big Show out of the ring.
– Maryse defeats Gail Kim, retains the WWE Divas Championship; very boring match.
– MVP defeats Chavo Guerrero; quick match that was followed by a challenge to MVP by Dolph Ziggler for a match next week.
– Shane McMahon and Batista defeat Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase; Shane gets the pin but also accidentally knocks Batista off the ropes during the match. Uh-oh.
Wow, an “on DVR” review. It’s been a while since I did one of those. Normally I’d write the article while the show is on and finish it when I got to work, but I slept in last night. I didn’t wake up until 10:20PM, and by then I had to leave for work. So, for the first time in a bit, it’s the RAW ON DVR review!
Oh yeah, and it’s after the jump! (more…)
No, it’s not an official title for the RAW reviews. It’s just what I’m doing this week. And not much of it. I’m tired and I didn’t really care about much that went on with RAW, but as I just said during the Rumble review, I don’t want to give you guys a stupid “here are the results from” wherever post.
RAW Results and my thoughts; after the jump! (more…)
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…)

Hey everybody. Just wanted to chime in and give my two cents on Cyber Sunday. Taking a look at the card here’s how it looks:
1. WWE Championship (WWE Universe chooses challenger) choices are:
What I think should happen- I would like to see HHH take on both of them. Then during the match HHH gets knocked out of the ring, Kozlov does his headbutt thingy on Jeff Hardy, pins him and wins the WWE title.
What probably will happen- Jeff hardy gets 90% of the vote and faces HHH one-on-one, with HHH coming out on top.
2. Undertaker vs. Big Show (WWE Universe chooses type of match) choices are:
What I think should happen- I don’t have much to say about this match so I’m going with Last man standing.
What will probably happen- Last man standing, Taker gets his win back.
3. WWE Diva Halloween Costume Contest– I don’t care, nuff said.
4. Pick the Tag Team Match choices are:
What I think should happen- First, let me say what won’t happen. The mixed tag match. If it gets more than 10% of the vote I’ll be surprised. Now back on the subject, I think that the tag title match will happen.
What probably will happen- Tag title match, Punk and Kingston win.
5. Cyber Sunday Preview Match (United States Championship Match) the choices are:
Wow good to see Shelton get on the card (even if it’s a preview match on wwe.com) and no doubt that he’s gonna be facing and losing the belt to R-Truth. (that’s both what I think and probably will happen)
6. ECW Championship Match (WWE Universe chooses Matt Hardy’s opponent) Choices are:
What I think will happen- If anyone has seen Evan Bourne, then there should be no doubt that he should be facing Matt Hardy.
What probably will happen- Evan Bourne faces Matt. The guy is awesome and even proved it last Tuesday on ECW so that will turn the vote in his direction.
7. Kane vs. Rey Mysterio (WWE Universe chooses type of match) choices are:
What I think should happen- Ugh, this is one feud I don’t care about. I am not a fan of Rey Mysterio’s (never have) so anything involving him I just don’t give a s#@*. I gonna go with No Hols Barred.
What will probably will happen- Falls Count Anywhere. Kane kills Rey and takes his mask.
8.Intercontinental Championship Match (WWE Universe chooses Santino Marella’s opponent) Choices are:
Man even Batista puts me to sleep even typing his name.
What I think will happen- Randy Orton being a choice is a joke. If he gets more than 5% of the votes I will know this whole thing is rigged. This is going to be very close between HBK and Stone Cold. Since Austin is supposed to be there and I don’t see having him there and not using him so he wins.
What probably will happen- Austin gets 50%, HBK 49%, Orton 1%. Austin during the match gets pissed off at both Jericho and Batista, stuns them counts them both down but just before 3 Jericho gets his arm on Batista and retains.
Well those are my thoughts on Cyber Sunday, hope you didn’t too bored and go away. If you didn’t thanks for reading and hop to see you soon.
