Uh-Oh! It’s not the Big O, Broskis, it is in fact I, the ringleader of this little group of smarks we call BoredWrestlingFan.com, ThinkSoJoE! Justin Ruff is not feeling well this evening and we wish him a speedy recovery as I dive head first into Monday Night RAW! The best part about this is, I don’t know ANYTHING about tonight’s show other than Shawn Michaels is on it, so I can review this and give my thoughts as I initially watch. And here you thought I only did the podcasts!
Time for the dog show! Oh wait, they don’t preempt RAW for that anymore. You can watch it on CNBC, if you’re so inclined. Except this aired 3 hours ago, so you can’t.
Well, tonight’s Raw has been built around a return. There are rumors that Chris Jericho has been spotted at the Memphis airport. So have Undertaker and Michelle McCool. Rumors are flying around about Brock Lesnar. I think everybody has been spotted except Chyna. So tonight begins Raw.
We start if off with a video package. And then John Cena starts off Raw. Any buzz I had for Raw was killed the moment Cena’s music hit. My daughter was still up and the minute she saw John Cena, she reached for the remote. I cannot make this up. So John Cena cut an ok promo on how fans can chant whatever they want. He’s going to keep on being John Cena. Then Kane does the same s*** he always does and we get pyro.
Daniel Bryan is introduced and the crowd doesn’t even come close to reacting for him. This was a pretty decent match. We got to watch Cody show off his skills as a mat technician. Bryan did get some chants. But would he have without Cody? It was a really short good match. Bryan won and then went over and celebrated with the crowd. The only thing is that it was kind of really excessive.
Johnny Ace recapped all the stuff with Miz. We get Miz and Sheamus. And then he called Miz a lame duck. Then they showed Miz walking away throwing a temper tantrum. And then R-Truth mocked a duck. Congratulations, WWE. You just killed R-Truth.
They showed recaps of all the Wade Barrett stuff. And he was interrupted by Santino Marella of all people. Sure enough, Wade killed him. The best part was the Speed references. R-Truth is now stalking the Miz.
Miz came out full of fire. And then Sheamus beat the sternum off of Miz. Miz tried running away. Then R-Truth was out in the crowd. R-Truth’s voices are now Little Jimmies. And then he beat up Miz with the Water Bottle of Doom. I feel really bad for Miz having to sell that. Then R-Truth found a kid and had him say something. I liked the segment. I just want to see more from what R-Truth is given to say.
Dolph Ziggler cuts a nice short promo.
Zack Ryder is trying to flirt with Eve Torres. Then Jack Swagger tries to talk trash. Ryder sounded sooooooo stupid. Then Johnny Ace makes a 6-man tag. So now Punk isn’t even going to be the main event? WWE, listen to what I say very closely. F*** you.
I really liked the feel of the Punk/Ziggler match. It felt exactly like a main event should be. Too bad it wasn’t one. It was a good match with lots of near-falls. Johnny Ace interfered and there was a countout. Ziggler won and then ran away with the belt. He didn’t win the belt.
The Bellas came out looking really smoking hot. We then got Kelly and Eve vs. Bellas. The Bellas won. It was pretty decent for usual divas matches.
Punk delivered a promo where he was going to beat Johnny Ace “like a bitch.” Ooh, they said the word “bitch.” Let me know when Punk drops a pipebomb.
Then they revealed the return of Chris Jericho. It was a pretty awesome moment. He looked genuinely happy and enthusiastic to be out there. It was the kind of reaction Hogan thinks he gets. He played with the crowd for a little bit and then went to the back.
The main event was such a non-event. At least Cena and Ryder had the advantage. The only good part was Kane attacking Ryder afterwards and then laying out Cena and Ryder some more. Kane was about to suck Ryder into the abyss when Cena pulled him out at the end. Cheesy, but it IS a TVPG product.
This was a pretty decent Raw. I’m close to calling it good, but we’re not quite there. I had things I liked: Ziggler’s promo, Bryan-Rhodes and Miz. There were some things I didn’t like: Cena in the main event, the Ziggler-Punk finish (not because of the countout but because Ziggler acted like he had won the belt) and opening it with a video package.
There were some nice questions to be asked here and all of them are WTF’s revolving around Jericho. And that is as it should be. Now we have a reason to come back.
Tonight was a 3-hour Raw with The Rock or something.
It began with the Michael Cole challenge. There was a really awful arm wrestling. Then we got to see JR dance. Is there anything they won’t do to him? At this point, Jim Ross needs to tell the WWE to go f*** themselves. Then the final thing was a weighing contest. Then we are saved by CM Punk who rips into Michael Cole. Finally we have the sanest man in wrestling. Johnny Ace makes a match and Eddie Kingston dies inside. CM Punk is RP McMurphy in the insane asylum.
Mick Foley came out of a limo.
We had a pretty decent tag match. Cody Rhodes and Hunico versus Sin Cara and Kofi Kingston. It was a good solid match. The funniest part was that she had to leave the room because she was on the phone and she got distracted because she likes Sin Cara.
The Rock arrived. My wife’s heart fluttered.
Santino pimped the WWE new video game with Zack Ryder.
Vickie Guerrero walked out. Dolph Ziggler would be the new member of Team Barrett.
The Walking Wellness Violation Mason Ryan took on Dolph Ziggler. Vickie interfered and Dolph was dq’d. As Vickie and Dolph ran, John Morrison threw him back in the ring for some roid rage.
Mick Foley got to do the “Woo woo woo, you know it” thing with Zack Ryder. Then he walked out before the adoring crowd. Foley wants people to cheer John Cena. Then Foley invites John Cena to the ring. They went back to This is Your Life? Foley is one of my favorite all time on the mic. (Punk, Funk, Heyman, Dusty, Flair) Why did they have to have to do something so unoriginal? It was fun seeing Bull Buchanan. Then they brought out John Cena, Sr. I will never complain about Bob Orton Sr. after seeing that travesty.
We got Jack Swagger getting mugged by Sheamus. It wasn’t that bad of a match. Swagger now is my cue to play Civilization IV.
The Bellas would rather have Alberto Del Rio than Zack Ryder.
There was a video package of Kelly Kelly’s photo shoot. Due to me not being 12, I could care less.
Kelly Kelly pinned Nattie Neidhart in record time. Alicia Fox looked really hot in her dress. But don’t worry, AJ, you’re still the center of my Divas universe.
Super Dave and ADR argue about something. Matt Striker is standing by with R-Truth and Miz. I think Miz was just wearing random outfits that didn’t matter whether they matched or not.
As Punk was walking out to the ring, ADR attacked him. Ugh, why is Punk walking around by himself?
Alberto Del Rio walks out and I just gotta say Ricardo Rodriguez is one of my favorite things on WWE TV. We had ADR/Henry vs. Big Show/Punk. Punk apparently had some spinach or something. He came out and wanted ADR. This made me intrigued with this match for the first time ever. I thought they had some pretty decent things going on in this match. Big Show-Henry was no Chikara action, but I am looking forward to this match. ADR won and then put Punk in the arm breaker. Big Show came to his rescue. Decent build-up.
Santino Marella came out and cut a cute promo. Then Kevin Nash came out; everybody died inside except Jim Cornette. At least it wasn’t a big name he destroyed.
Michael Cole was doing the video game hard sell and my wife the nurse pointed out he wasn’t even wearing his sling right.
Looks like they’re serious about Wade Barrett again. It was a decent match, but it was SO predictable.
Then The Rock came out and rambled. Fortunately for us, with The Rock, it never seems like rambling. Then Miz and Truth came out and held their own against The Rock, and then John Cena came out. They forgot the TV-PG part for a minute. It was just ok for me.
I didn’t entirely hate this Raw. The first segment made me want to close my eyes and dream of Chikara. But it went better as time went on. I’m thinking “thumbs in the middle.”

I would like to begin this by wishing Mother Ruff a very happy [age deleted]th birthday. The Rangers are giving us heart attacks. The Cowboys embarrass themselves against the Lions. And as happy as that makes me, the Eagles can’t win either. I missed last night’s Hell in a Cell. Due to a HUGE weekend, it was just too much to go out on a Sunday night. From what I hear, there was a lot of chaos and a lot of questions to have to answer.
It seems like tonight’s Raw has some major buzz. Randy Orton comes out first and kills my buzz. Drew McIntyre is already in the ring and gets no entrance theme. Thanks for spoiling the end of the first match, WWE. This was a little more than a squash. McIntyre got his share of offense in. The crowd seemed to be really into Randy Orton. But does he make you tune into the show? I can think of 1.98 reasons why he doesn’t. Orton pinned him in what was a decent opener. Kudos to McIntyre for making him look good. Then he attacks McIntyre after the match. Why is he a face?
Mark Henry came out and they fought each other. Security kept on trying to hold them back and they kept on attacking each other. A great visual.
We had a Mark Henry video package. Then John Morrison continued his “About to Be Future Endeavored” tour against Mark Henry. Morrison got some offense before Mark Henry kicked out of Morrison’s finisher. Mark Henry grabbed the mic. He is done with Randy Orton. He wants Big Show.
Super Dave Osborne is giving the heels a pep talk. All 6 are going to the ring. (At this point, my wife fell asleep, for those of you curious.)
Alberto del Rio speaks. As much as I loathe that it’s Otunga getting the ball, I like that they are finding a common theme among everything that is happening. Each rep got to cut their promo about how they are being wronged. And then Vickie grabbed the mic. You would have thought she was Michelle Bachman at an Atheist’s convention. And then HHH came out and told them they weren’t men or something. I like the thought and concept; the execution is not doing it for me.
We got Eve & Kelly fighting Beth & Nattie. Kelly & Eve gave Beth & Nattie a beatdown. I don’t think this was a match. I saw some fire from Kelly. I liked it.
Super Dave Osborne apologized to HHH. He called for a vote of “no confidence.”
Rock is on my tv. My wife woke up. Jinder Mahal started speaking a foreign language. That must mean we’re supposed to boo him. Marella grabbed the mic and started mocking Mahal’s language. Classy. Santino squashed Mahal. Mahal must be opening for Morrison on his “About to Be Future Endeavored” tour.
Broadus Clay footage. He’s like a walking zip code.
The footage of the beatdown was unreal. All the wrestlers were out there, heels and faces alike. There are so many questions to be answered here. Miz and Truth apologized (ish).
Then there was the 12-man match. We had “Never Pissed in a Cup” Mason Ryan. Sheamus got in some good offense. Cody Rhodes had some good moments and looked good. This was pretty good for a cluster. Kofi did the face in peril very well. The crowd loved it. Even my wife who happened to wake up again noticed Evan Bourne come in and go to town. This crowd was so wild all night. They did the spot where everybody did their finishers. Then Sheamus got the pin. I thought the match would be a lot worse than it was. It was given the time it needed.
All the wrestlers came out and stood ringside. So everybody stands ringside while HHH gets the center of attention. This is so ridiculous. He needs to take himself off tv. And out of all the superstars, the one who gets the mic… Wade Barrett? Then Mike Chioda gets a mic? Me like. Then Beth gets a mic. “We’re girls.” Really? Then Lawler gets in the ring with HHH. Everything is out of control, but it’s not HHH’s fault. There’s a puppeteer behind the scenes. Who is it? Everybody votes no confidence, including Lawler, who did it kind of reluctantly. Then, one by one, factions walked out, the last being JR. What a surreal Raw.
This has to be the most surreal Raw I have seen since ECW and WCW joined forces and the best Raw since CM Punk cut “The Promo.” So many questions abound.

This was my first time to watch an AIW show. I started out being very intrigued by all the promos at the beginning. I know some of the wrestlers, but I am not familiar with their characters. This gave me a brief overview. What it reminded me of was the UFC product. Fighter #1 doing an interesting soundbite followed by fighter #2 doing the same. It’s a formula that works. I don’t need the WWE 5-minute video package I just watched last Monday on Raw. Just give me brief promos so I can know I need to care about these wrestlers.
First match: 6 Pack Scramble: Sugar Dunkerston VS. Sabbath VS. AERO! VS. Kobald VS. Maximo Suave VS. Low Rider
I know who Sugar Dunkerton is from his Twitter presence, so I was excited to see him wrestle. Sabbath had no crowd reaction, but had a different look. Suave looked like a died-black-hair Amazing Red. AERO! looks like a skinny white guy wearing a mask. Low Rider looks like a low-rent Perros del Mal wannabe (I did not find his name listed as a Perro del Mal). And Kobald looks like a bad Mortal Kombat character. I was impressed by how Sabbath used his power and the other wrestlers sold it. Sugar Dunkerton did a clothesline that would have impressed Stan Hansen. And Low Rider did a powerslam type move into the turnbuckles I’ve never seen before. Random painted people attacked somebody and Kobald got the win.
Winner: Kobald
Second match: BJ Whitmer VS. Eddie Kingston
This was my first Eddie Kingston match. I’ve followed Whitmer for about 10 years, going back to his IWA-Mid South days. I’m a little cautious about “the first time they’ve ever met” fights because they can be clusters because the guys have no chemistry together. It looked like there was a feeling out period and they let the drama slowly build. They told a story of Whitmer working over Kingston’s leg and Kingston trying to overcome. It got a “This is Awesome” chant. This was a GREAT match that really had the crowd going.
Winner: Whitmer
Whitmer and Kingston had a nice exchange and the crowd received it well.
Third Match: Chad “The Chad” Williams w/Chest Flexor VS. Tursus
There is a guy named Chest Flexor who must have a faction somewhere. The Chad looks like Randy Orton without the tattoos. The crowd chanted “Randy Rip-off” but I really didn’t think he was a rip-off; he just looked like Randy Orton. This is my first time to see Tursus after hearing so much about him, so I was very impressed with him. I’m surprised the WWE has not brought him in yet.
Winner: Chad by DQ
Fourth match: Team Duke VS. Team Dalton
I have no idea who these people are. Dalton Castle has a Puerto Rican faction as his partners. This RBI guy is named Bonds. I couldn’t figure out who I was supposed to cheer for. This reminded me a lot of a Ring of Honor 8-guy match from their early days. Dasher Hatfield was one of the major workers to stand out to me. Ben Fruith was another worker who stood out to me. He looks like he needs to eat, but man, can this guy sell. I was impressed that Izeah Bonds did a standing moonsault. It told a nice story.
Winner: Team Duke
Fifth match: Marion Fontaine VS. Shiima Xion VS. Chuck Taylor
I’ve tried watching some Xion matches on Youtube and stuff before. (I don’t currently watch the TNA/Impact! product.) Fontaine looks like he needs to eat. Xion has all the makings of a star, except for the awful tights. Chuck Taylor interfered in this match and made it into a 3-Way Dance. It just went way too short. I found myself more impressed by Fontaine with his in-ring action.
Winner: Fontaine
Sixth match: Josh Prohibition VS. Gregory Iron
I still have a deep-seated hatred of Josh Prohibition that goes back to him leaving CZW to start wrestling for XPW during the days of the PA Indy Wars. And holy s***, Greg Iron. He is everything Zach Gowen tried to be. He overcomes a huge disability, but he is still believable when he wins in the ring. The two had an unbelievable Street Fight. I knew about Iron from him the night CM Punk about how awesome he was. Regardless of how I felt about Prohibition, he and Gregory Iron were incredible in the ring together.
Winner: Prohibition
The crowd did a Holy s*** chant and rightfully so. Every Greg Iron match deserves a Holy s*** chant. Forgetting that Iron has cerebral palsy, it was probably one of the best matches I’ve seen all year.
Seventh match: Eric Ryan VS. Bobby Beverly
From this point on, the only wrestler I’ve ever seen before is Sabu, so I promise I will stop saying this is my first time to see this guy. Eric Ryan really impressed me. I think Beverly did a good job of making Ryan look good. Something tells me he’ll get over in the future. Eric Ryan wrestled with a lot of passion and definitely got my attention. You can’t book or train for that.
Winner: Ryan
The Olsen Twins VS. The Irish Airborne VS. AEROFORM
(Ok, so I’ve seen Colin Delaney before, but I really wasn’t into the WWECW product that much at the time.) The six worked really well together. I have no idea what I watched here because it was so fast-paced. Irish Airborne & AEROFORM are tag teams that could walk into Impact or AAA/CMLL and be successful. There was just so much going on it was hard to comprehend this match.
Winner: Irish Airborne
This was everything we wanted it to be. Six amazing athletes just doing their thing.
Ninth match: Sabu VS. Facade in a Falls Count Anywhere Match
I was curious why there were was a Street Fight and Falls Count Anywhere Match on the same card. On thing I have to give AIW credit for is distinct-looking wrestlers. It’s not like watching NXT where you see nothing different than the other 10 guys. Facade looks different. He has a distinct look and it differentiates him from “Joe Indy Wrestler.” And of course I worship Sabu and pray to him every night before I go to bed. I am intrigued by how Sabu reinvented himself. As he wasn’t able to keep up in the ring as much, he started using a toolbox like his late uncle (The Shiek) used to do. It added some longevity to his career.
Winner: Sabu
This booking made absolutely no sense by having Sabu go over, but Facade bled. Prohibition/Iron was more of a wild brawl, but the image of Facade wearing the crimson mask was pretty good.
Tenth match: Rickey Shane Page VS. Vincent Nothing
The video package was well-done. I still had no idea about anything, but it looked to be very emotional. Nothing has a really good look. Page is way too young-looking, but I get what they’re trying to do. The commentating was pretty awful. The play-by-play guy was fine, but the color commentator bordered on stupid. Heel does not equal stupid. I loved Nothing’s in-ring style. I love me some MMA, so a fighter who incorporates some of his moves into wrestling makes me pop. Plus, an MMA fighter could be a huge heel. This had a “big match” feel. There were light tubes. That is all you need to know to grasp how intense this fight was. It got a “Match of the Year” chant during the match.
Winner: Page
Wow. I think I missed a lot of the emotion which was probably like tuning in during a Season Finale. WWE, Impact, this is how you put a guy over. Right now, I believe Page could main event this company. I’m still going with Iron/Prohibition for Match of the Night, but Page gets my MVP. There was total commitment and it was kind of like a “coming of age” match.
Main Event: Johnny Gargano VS. Tim Donst
Donst is ridiculously over with this crowd. Donst is great when it comes to mat wrestling. I haven’t seen much in the way of a distinct look or personality to Donst, but he is super-over with this crowd and reminds me of Dean Malenko in-ring. Gargano had a RED chest. Gargano has a good look and I could see him in Impact before too long. The commentary deteriorated to Mark Madden levels. I can’t describe all the highlights of this match. All I know is that Tim Donst is one of my favorite new indy guys.
Winner: Gargano
What a match. As they were signing off, Chest Flexor’s music hit and Shiima Xion started fighting Gargano and the match started.
Real Main Event: Gargano vs. Xion
This went on until Chest Flexor interfered, the referee turned heel and Xion won the belt.
Winner: Xion
So yes, I am in love with my new favorite non-Texas wrestling promotion. I cannot decide match of the night. Iron/Prohibition, Page/Nothing, Donst/Gargano would all be Match of the Year candidates with any promotion. This is a company I will put my money behind. It’s hard to find a certain name that stood out to me the most. Now that I have been introduced, it’s time to start following the stories that are to be told here.
For those of you who have no idea who Mr. Peppermint is, click here. His show, Peppermint Palace, was on every Saturday morning on ABC at 6 (or 5, I don’t remember). His show meant Saturday morning cartoons were going to start. And that was back when you didn’t have Nick Jr. or Cartoon Network. This was the highlight of your week. So a moment of silence and respect to Mr. Peppermint.
We have some questions from last week’s Raw. What will come of “on-fire” Alberto del Rio? What of Miz and Truth being fired? What injury will Tony Romo suffer? What indy promotion do I want to get next and do a review on? (I’m thinking Chikara.)
We start off with Triple H. I look at upcoming Chikara and AAW shows. My AIW show is on its way. Triple H was interrupted by Vickie Guerrero. And yet, people still booed her. Ziggler sounded really good. Ziggler and Triple H played off each other really well. Then Cody Rhodes interrupted. And then Christian interrupted. Christian gets lots of matches. Ziggler fights Zack Ryder. Cody Rhodes gets a Battle Royal.
This was a pretty good fast Battle Royal. Cody Rhodes retained.
After the break, Super Dave Osborne is talking to “Not-so-Super” David Otunga. Apparently, he is still a lawyer even if he’s not practicing. Oh, the stupid… It burns.
We got a tag match. Nattie/Beth vs. Eve/Kelly. We got a Kelly Kelly video package. We need more of these. The crowd actually seemed to care about this match. Beth pinned the champion. Hopefully we get Beth winning more. Her and Nattie are a really good duo.
Mark Henry took apart Great Khali. It was an awesome image and added credibility to his tear of destruction.
John Cena cut a promo. Kansas City thought he was the Chiefs because there were some cheers, but a lot more boos. Then Del Rio came out ringside. Del Rio was doing commentary with his wrestling tights on. Then Punk came out with his announcer’s jacket. This match ended in a DQ. This was the best way to do this. Christian didn’t lose.
We got Zack Ryder vs. Dolph Ziggler. We got to plug Hugh Jackman’s film. Ziggler looked really good in this match. Due to some outside interference by Jack Swagger, we got a tainted Ziggler victory. Air Boom came to Ryder’s rescue.
Teddy Long made a match: AirBoom/Ryder vs. Swagger/Ziggler in a handicap match. This was a fun match. The crowd was really into it. Vickie went out and found a soon-to-be-suspended Mason Ryan, affectionately known as “Matista.” He’s a heel still. As soon as Mason Ryan was tagged it, he was a heel no more. He took out Team Vickie. Why did he do that? Interesting question.
Not-so-Super David Otunga is talking to the boys in the locker room. He’s creating a lawsuit. I like this. It’s creating an interesting storyline.
Our main event was ADR vs. CM Punk. This was a really decent match. Punk won. Then the cage lowered. Punk and Cena destroyed Ricardo Rodriguez and then ADR destroyed the other two with a chair.
This was a pretty good Raw, but then again, I DVR’d it so I didn’t have to sit through the stuff I didn’t want to see. But a lot of questions are raised. And I’m really digging the build-up for Hell in a Cell.
Alright. You guys know I avoid spoilers for RAW like the plague on Monday Nights. So since I spent the last four hours on Twitter, that certainly wasn’t the case for WWE SummerSlam. So, that said, I’m going to do this a little differently than normal. I’m going to watch the PPV knowing what happens, and I’m going to give my thoughts on it. BTW, I read an article recently that says reading spoilers may actually enhance your enjoyment of watching something because you don’t use so much of your brainpower trying to figure out what’s going on for yourself. Is it true? Let’s find out, shall we?
Ladies and gentlemen, I exist!! I missed you all so much, and I wanna say thanks to the boss man, ThinkSoJoE and Gee, both of which have covered for me a lot lately. I appreciate it. Unfortunately, my situation’s a bit of a bitchy one. I may not be able to cover RAW for you all on a weekly basis. It turns out that I only get my schedule Friday or Saturday nights, and it only covers a week. I never know if I’m working Monday nights during RAW or not. So, I may end up just being a guest reviewer again. I’m sorry!! But, I’ll cover it as long as I’m able!
Anyway, enough of that. Happy Fourth of July everyone! I hope you enjoy it, and I hear fireworks going off now, but I’m ignoring them for the first time in my LIFE to write the RAW Review for you all, since I have been unable to do so for a while. Also, I don’t know what’s been going on. I know Punk got suspended/fired/fed the fuck up, but that’s all I know. Also, thanks to WWE’s FaceBook page, I know that we’ll have a Triple Threat Match between R-Truth, Alberto Del Rio and Rey Mysterio to see who will face John Cena at Money in the Bank for the WWE Championship! OH GOODIE!
<VIDEO PACKAGE: Last Monday was RAW Roulette! R-Truth vs John Cena in a Tables Match, where R-Truth wins, due to a distraction by CM Punk. Oh, yeah, and CM Punk says some stuff about Cena and the WWE and Vince McMahon.>
BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR TABLES HURT ME!
John Cena makes his way to the ring with considerably less pomp and circumstance than normal. He looks unhappy… Wonder why. Cena says that there’s major unrest in the WWE Universe. Apparently, Punk said some things that didn’t quite mesh too well with the brass in the WWE. So much so that because of his recent outburst, the WWE has suspended him indefinitely. What that means Is he’s also stripped of his right to compete in his last match in his hometown to face John for the WWE Championship. The WWE has thrown together a Triple Threat match to find a replacement Number One Contender. As for CM Punk, we are just supposed to sweep him under the rug, ignore his accomplishments, outbursts, legacy, and pretend he never existed. John’s never seen eye-to-eye with Punk and he has a voice, and he’s weighing in on the WWE’s decision, and he says it sucks. Punk and John don’t agree on everything, especially Punk’s concept of loyalty to the WWE brand. But Punk has been suspended for speaking his mind, telling everyone how he feels? John knows exactly it’s a PG show and knows what he can and cannot say, but John found nothing wrong with it, despite not agreeing with it. His question to us, the WWE Universe, is where does this stop? Where does the WWE stop? There was an incident where Daniel Bryan was fired for being too aggressive. There’s speculation that WWE can confiscate signs we make. And Punk has been suspended indefinitely for speaking his mind? The audience is chanting First Amendment. John looks like the Kool-Aid Man in jorts. Does the audience have to act a certain way? Cena says that the program is bigger than emails back and forth, so there will be no more back and forth with an anonymous GM during his tirade. Cena was answers from Mr. McMahon. Vince is on his way tonight and promises to be in the building. And when Vince gets there, they’re going to talk it out in the ring, not backstage. And Vince has some ‘splainin to do. More importantly, we will hear first hand from our WWE Champion that he wants to face CM Punk at Money in the Bank.
Oh, God. Next up, the fakey-Champ, Kelly Kelly and Eve are facing the whores. Just saying.

@KeepItFiveStar “I called Vince McMahon earlier today. He is on speed dial. I have him #6 He’s in my group known as AC/DC buddies” – John Cena

Hey, look! The Miz finally gave up the Money in the Bank briefcase!
The Bella Twins vs. Diva’s Champion Kelly Kelly and Eve Torres
… Don’t get me wrong, okay. I believe that women can wrestle very well. I just don’t believe these women (and Eve) can wrestle well. That’s all.
Anyway. I’m sure there was a match, but I was trying to develop X-Ray vision to see through the house behind me to see the fireworks. It didn’t work.
Divas Champion Kelly Kelly and Eve Torres win via pinfall.
Hey, Andy won WWE Tough Enough. Whoever that was.
<VIDEO PACKAGE: WWE Tough Enough Winner, Andy.>
R-Truth is on the phone with Flo, from Progressive about getting him some insurance. Scott Stanford interrupts and says that he wants Truth’s thoughts on the Triple Threat match and getting another chance against Cena. Truth says he should be rewarded a title match, not having to compete in the Triple Threat match. A conspiracy. The good news is he saved 15% by switching over to Geico on his car insurance (…). The bad news, someone’s gonna get got. He turns around to see Alberto del Rio and then says “First Little Jimmy, now Senor Jimmy?!” Rio says it’s all about destiny, and his destiny is to become the new WWE Champion, but… Truth already knows that.
<COMMERCIAL>
@HitTheRopes Truth is talking to Flo? Is it Aunt Flo? Is Truth on the rag? #WWE
@CMPunkSays OK, he was just talking to the Progressive lady, and now he plugs GEICO? They have no idea what they’re talking about, do they? #WWE
@KeepItFiveStar You see what had happen was Kelly Kelly & her Sindel screaming popped the Bellas eardrums. She took advantage and got the win. She cheated
@KeepItFiveStar Kelly Kelly with her Bugs Bunny style of sexual harassment offense

@ULTIMATEMARKOUT YOU CAN LOOK BUT YOU CAN’T WRESTLE
Santino Marella and Vladimir Kozlov vs. WWE Tag Team Champions David Otunga and Michael McGuillicutty
I’m mad they came out to CM Punk’s music. Put it back to that “We Are One” bullshit. THAT’S RIGHT! PUT IT BACK! Hey, wait. Otunga, this is your chance to take that shit over! Oh, wait, you suck.
Otunga and Marella start it out with Otunga pushing Santino back and Santino tells him to try it again. Otunga does it again and Santino fakes a kick to Otunga, who returns by dropping Santino to the ground painfully. Otunga Whips Santino, who jumps over Otunga and goes for the Cobra. Otunga runs out of the ring, however, and then climbs back in, tagging in McGuillicutty. McGuillicutty kicks Santino, then drops him to the ground. McGuillicutty stands him up, and Santino punches him before dropping him and smacking his head against the turnbuckle. Kozlov gets tagged in and goes for a quick cover, but McGuillicutty kicks out. Kozlov drives some hard shoulders into McGuillicutty, then tags in Santino. Santino is then thrown into McGuillicutty’s torso and goes for a cover. It doesn’t work and he tags in Kozlov, who dominates McGuillicutty, dropping him onto the top ropes. Kozlov goes to throw McGuillicutty, but Otunga distracts him and McGuillicutty takes advantage, quickly tagging in Otunga, both of them double-teaming Kozlov. Otunga kicks Kozlov in the head and then goes for a cover, but Kozlov kicks out. Santino starts a Kozlov chant and Kozlov starts to fight back, but Otunga stops him and tags in McGuillicutty. The two try to suplex him, but Kozlov double suplexes them instead and tags in Santino, who blocks McGuillicutty’s hit and then hits him back, avoiding both of them trying to get him with a split. Santino dive-head butts McGuillicutty, and then sets up the Cobra, but has to hit Otunga with it. McGuillicutty takes advantage and hits Santino with a swinging neckbreaker for the win.
WWE Tag Team Champions David Otunga and Michael McGuillicutty win via pinfall.
OOOH RADIO, TELL ME EVERYTHING YOU KNOW!
OMFG IT’S ZACK!
“Woo woo woo. You know it.”
That’s it. I think that he’s definitely throwing down a challenge, and no one’s smart enough to get it.
Money in the Bank ladder match participants: Swagger, Kofi, Rey, Evan, Truth, Rio, Riley, Miz. (unless Truth, Rey, or Rio win tonight).
Coming up tonight, Alex Riley will face The Miz again, one on one.

@dasharpshooters David Otunga and Michael McGillicutty cannot use CM Punk’s theme. Thats like JTG using Shawn Michaels’ music. #wwe #raw
@KeepItFiveStar ZACK RYDER!!!!
@CMPunkSays RYDER RYDER RYDER #WWE
@JRosz78 Oh SHIT Ryder on my tv!!!!!!!
@kickoutblog Webgasm on the way. Zack Ryder is here.
@Niki_Sushi Twitter just blew up. #BWF #RAW #RyderRevolution
!HitTheRopes Holy hell @ZackRyder just made a Raw moment. Don’t know what that moment is but it’s a moment. #WWE
@redsandman99 Zack Ryder appears and 99% of my timeline jizzed themselves.
Vince still has to come out and answer us.
Scott Stanford tells Miz he’s never beat Riley and tonight, are we going to see something new? Miz says that CM Punk has been suspended so there’s another golden opportunity to be WWE Champion, but he wasn’t picked because of Alex Riley. Riley’s a nuisance who sent him off course. Miz could have kicked him to the curb a long time ago, but Miz gave him an opportunity, one that he abused. Miz brought him into the WWE, and he will take him out tonight. It all ends tonight. Because he’s the Miz, and he’s awesome.
Evan and Sgt. Slaughter are backstage, and Evan says that they’re lucky to have him out here tonight. Sgt. Slaughter says that he’s happy to be there to lead everyone in the Pledge of Allegiance. Swagger says that Slaughter was around when the country got their independence, and Swagger should lead the WWE Universe in the Pledge. Slaughter says that everyone makes mistake: him, Evan, Jack’s parents by not using birth control. Swagger says Slaughter should make a mistake by getting in the ring with Swagger.
Now we see “earlier tonight” that McMahon’s jet has landed.
Later tonight, a Triple Threat match with Truth vs Rey vs Alberto.
<COMMERCIAL>
@Niki_Sushi DAMMIT @WWEUniverse! YOU SHOULD’VE WARNED ME ABOUT EVAN! I JUST SQUEE’D MYSELF! #BWF #RAW
@CMPunkSays Someone call GLAAD! Oh wait, he said “maggot.” False alarm. #WWE #Raw
<VIDEO PACKAGE: Wrestlemania XXVI, Jack Swagger wins the Money in the Bank Ladder Match and then wins the World Heavyweight Championship.>
Jack Swagger vs. Sgt. Slaughter
Slaughter and Swagger lock up, then Swagger breaks it with a knee to Slaughter’s gut. He then backs Slaughter into a corner and Slaughter starts fighting back, delivering hard hits to Swagger’s chest. Slaughter starts to Whip Swagger, but Swagger counters. Slaughter locks in the Cobra Clutch, but Swagger manages to fight out. Swagger bounces off the ropes to belly-flop on Slaughter and goes for the cover.
Jack Swagger wins via pinfall.
Swagger then locks in the ankle lock on Slaughter, only for Evan to come out. @Niki_Sushi just lost her mind. Evan chases Swagger out of the ring and talks to the ref to help Slaughter out, and keeps an eye on Swagger as well, who seems to have injured his pride pretty deeply. Evan gets a microphone for Slaughter, and Slaughter starts the Pledge of Allegiance.
Up next, the Triple Threat Number One Contender match.
<COMMERCIAL>
@Niki_Sushi Guess the Sarge’s chin just wasn’t into the match.. #BWF #RAW
@CMPunkSays EVAN BOURNE IS AMERICA, AND SO CAN YOU #WWE #Raw
@kickoutblog I was really hoping Sarge would’ve turned on Bourne there and formed an All-American alliance with Jackie Swaggs.

Alberto del Rio vs R-Truth (and his lame intro) vs Rey Mysterio
1) Where the FUCK is Ricardo Rodriguez? Wait, I’m sure I actually missed this in the past few weeks. Nevermind.
2) GET SOME GODDAMN THEME MUSIC, R-TRUTH! The overwhelming sound of boos that greets you is about to become your permanent theme.
… Anyway, let’s get on with the match. Because I love more than two people in the ring at a time.
Rio starts immediately on Truth, and Rey goes to town on Rio, then on Truth. Rio delivers a harsh kick to Rey’s knee, then head. Rio throws Rey into a turnbuckle, but Rey moves when Rio tries to jump on him. Rey starts for Truth, but Rio dropkicks him in the head. Rio kicks Truth in the head, then tries to grab Truth before Truth rolls out. Rio then focuses on Rey again, going for a quick cover, but Rey kicks out. Rio Whips Rey, who holds onto the ropes and ducks, sending Rio through them and onto the floor.
Truth gets back in the ring and Rey’s focus is on Rio, but Truth spins and does some purty thing to distract Rey. Truth goes for the cover, but Rey kicks out. Truth pounds on Rey’s head and screams ‘What’s up now?!’, which gets his theme going again. Truth stomps on Rey, who rolls under the bottom rope and falls right out of the ring. Truth follows him out and slaps him right by the audience. Truth then throws Rey head first into the guard rail, and focuses on Rio, throwing him into the fan barrier guard rail thingamajig too. Truth turns his focus back to Rey and kicks him in the stomach. Rey gets back in the ring, and truth goes for another cover, but Rey kicks out. Rey stands up, but Truth follows and Whips him into the other turnbuckle, going for another quick cover. Rey kicks out at two again. Truth argues with the ref.
New block! Truth goes right back to beating on Rey before stepping on his neck. Truth stands Rey up and pimp slaps that ho for not giving him is money! Slaps Rey, but something happens and Truth goes out to beat up Rio for a minute. Rey starts to fight back on Truth, back in the ring, and Truth side-slams Rey. Truth goes for another cover, but Rey kicks out again. Rio comes back into the ring by attacking Truth and then going after Rey again. Rey kicks Rio in the face and Rey then hurricanranas Rio. Truth focuses on Rey again and throws Rey into the turnbuckle. Rey and Truth are on the turnbuckle and Rio fights Truth. Rio gets Truth on his shoulders, Rey then launches on both of them. And-
<COMMERCIAL>
@HitTheRopes The fact that Mysterio is wearing white just makes Truth seem even darker.
@KeepItFiveStar What the hell is with Rey’s titantron? He’s trying to cause seizures! What a horrible person.
@Niki_Sushi Alberto Del Rio isn’t nearly as cool as he thinks he is. Ricardo Rodriguez brought it all to the table. #RAW #BWF #ButYouAlreadyKnewThat
@HitTheRopes Mark Henry rewind = someone’s gonna get their ass kicked. #WWE
@TKeep123 “Say the pledge, damn it!” -What Slaughter is thinking…. #WWR #RAW #BWF
OHSHITSORRYGOTDISTRACTED!
Rio is owning Rey now. Rey is Whipped across the ring and starts to show momentum, but Rio puts a stop to that and goes for a cover, but Rey kicks out. Rey tries to hide in the corner, but Rio follows and Whips him into another buckle. Rey gives a drop toe hold to Rio, sending his face right into the turnbuckle. Truth is on the apron and sends his shoulder into Rey’s abdomen. Rey stops Truth from lifting Rey off his feet and Rio does something, and then Truth is pimp slapping smacking Rio, then Truth tries to pin Rio. Truth then drops Rey onto his stomach and goes for a cover, but Rio breaks the cover. Rio hits the CodbreakerBackstabber whatever it was on Truth and Rey breaks up the pin. Rio then takes it out on Rey and Rey puts his knee in Rio’s face, but Truth breaks up the pin. I hate Triple Threat matches.
Truth gets Rey to his feet, kicks him in the stomach, then hits the scissor kick Lie Detector and goes for a cover, but Rio breaks the pin. Rio throws Truth into a corner, but Truth dives out of the way when Rio comes at him. Rey hits the 619, climbs up, and then hits the seated Senton. Rio comes in with the cross arm breaker and it’s all over.
Alberto del Rio wins via submission.
John Cena still needs to confront Vince McMahon about CM Punk. That needs to hurry up and get here.
<COMMERCIAL>
@HitTheRopes What a loser Rey is. He tapped immediately. He didn’t even try to see if Truth would try to break the submission. #Reycist #WWE
@imababyface thats not vintage del rio…thats vintage Carlito!

<VIDEO PACKAGE: Wrestlemania 21 Money in the Bank Ladder match is won by Edge, who cashes in to win the WWE Championship.>
I am perfection!!!
Holy shit, Dolph is important again! … Well, important-ish.
Vickie and United States Champion Dolph Ziggler make their way to the ring, where there’s a whole celebration set up. Vickie says it’s a special night and we’re celebrating the USA’s birthday! And, since Ziggler is OUR United States Champion, she thought (her first mistake) it’d be fitting if we gave him a birthday to him as well. So, let’s all join her in singing. But, that’s not about to happen. Oh, minus those five people. And Cole.
Vickie sings like Jillian Hall, just lower octave. That’s all.
She asks if he wants to tell us his wish before she blows out his candle-I MEAN HE BLOWS OUT HIS CANDLES!
Dolph says we have no idea how good we have it, witnessing the finest superstar in his prime, or something, and there will never be another Dolph Ziggler. They don’t have an idea what it’s like to be a natural in the ring. Forget Punk, Cena, the WWE Title, and as long as he’s the United States Champion, this is the only title we need to make Monday Night RAW perfection.
Kofi comes out and says that we’re gonna have a party and not invite him? That’s messed up. He guesses Dolph could come out and brag all day and have a party title celebration, but the fact of the matter is that without Vickie in his corner, Dolph cannot beat Kofi. Dolph says he got dis. Kofi, he and Dolph used to be toe to toe, but Kofi’s still here (low), and Dolph’s on his way here (high) (Hahaha, there’s a joke there). Dolph just left him in the dust, so in case Kofi didn’t notice, they’re having a party so BEAT IT! BEAT IT! NO ONE WATNS TO BE DEFEATED! Something happens, but I was jamming to Michael Jackson in my head and Vickie ends up ass first in the cake. Kofi and Dolph fight, and Kofi sends Dolph into Vickie, who ends up torso first in the cake. Vickie doesn’t scream this time, just calmly, with rage brewing deep inside, walks out of the ring.
Up next, Alex Riley and The Miz go one-on-one.
<COMMERCIAL>
@Niki_Sushi Oh no, ass in the cake! OH NO! FACE IN THE CAKE! Vickie, you might as well just rub some cake on your arms. BATHE IN IT!!! #BWF #RAW
@KeepItFiveStar Kofi, you have a M.I.T.B. match to focus on. You should move on from the U.S. Title
@KeepItFiveStar S.O.S! I hear them JOBBIN! S.O.S! Why am I tryinnnnnnn?! (I’m jobbin!”
@chynnacena Notice how vicky still licks the cake lmbo #wwe #raw #bwf
@WWE_Creative We may be the only company on the planet with a cake budget that high despite the fact that no one ever gets to eat the cake. #RAWTonight

The Miz vs Alex Riley
Hey! The Miz did his previous thing where he raises his arms with three fi-… Nevermind. I’m having a moment.
Riley runs to the ring and tries to go right for Miz, but the ref stops him.
<VIDEO PACKAGE: Alex Riley.>
Miz and Riley lock up, and Miz backs Riley into the corner. Riley shoves him off and Riley pushes Miz into the corner hitting him with forearms. Miz fights back and the two exchange blows. Riley hits a hard almost-clothesline on Miz and then kicks Miz out of the ring. Riley follows and slams Miz’ head on the fan barrier before throwing him back in the ring. Miz kicks Riley before stomping on him a few times. Miz bounces off the ropes to kick Riley in the face before going for the cover, Riley kicking out at two. Miz knees Riley’s chest a few times before gripping Riley’s neck. Riley tries to fight out of it before he finally does, throwing Miz off him. Miz moves out of the corner when Riley tries to hit him, then DDTs (or something) Riley and goes for the cover. Riley kicks out and Miz digs his knee into Riley’s neck. Miz hits Riley then goes for another cover, but Riley kicks out. Miz starts to hit Riley, but Riley blocks and delivers some hits of his own, but Miz fights back and drops Riley on his face before going for another cover. Miz tells Riley that he made him, and Riley’s had enough. He fights back against Miz and delivers hard shoulders to Miz’ torso before another DDT and cover, but Riley kicks out.
<COMMERCIAL>
@JRosz78 Finally #RAW Just got AWEEEEEEEEESOME! @mikethemiz #RAW #BWF
@KeepItFiveStar No one is going to say anything to Alex Riley’s face. Look at what he did to The Miz after The Miz was brutally honest with him!
@kickoutblog WWE video editing team working overtime this week.
@Niki_Sushi According to Cole, Awry’s gonna get got. #BWF #RAW
Riley has the momentum via Riley throwing Miz to the ground, making him land on the back of his head. Both fight to get up and then Riley Spears Miz. The two move in a frenzy, but Riley is getting the upper hand, hitting a Spine buster. Miz kicks out at two, and Riley starts to hit something, but Miz counters. Miz hits his swinging corner clothesline on Riley and then starts to hit a backbreaker, but Riley counters and picks up a cheap victory.
Alex Riley wins via pinfall.
Rage finally gets the best of Miz, and Miz runs back in the ring, attacking Riley from behind and throwing him out of the ring. Miz follows Riley and drives Riley into the fan barrier and then over it, following him again. Miz throws Riley back over, then throws him into the steel steps. Miz stays right on top of Riley though, and tries to rip Riley’s face off via his nose and upper lip. Miz then bounces Riley’s head off the announce table and kicks him in the chin, right over the announce table.
A limo pulls up outside the arena, and out steps none other than Vincent Kennedy McMahon. He comes to the ring up next.

@KeepItFiveStar Charles Robinson with his white parent in a grocery store type of scolding “No Miz! Miz! You go back right now! Miz! Miz! MIZ! …NO!”

@HitTheRopes And finally, Vince McMahon finally decided to get off the Hulk Hogan route to the arena.
<VIDEO PACKAGE: Last Week… Wait, this is the same as the FIRST ONE TONIGHT>
No chance, that’s what ya got…
Vince struts his way to the ring, as per usual. I’m going to watch DX mocking him and Shane after RAW’s over now.
Vince thanks us and then says the CM Punk thing has gotten out of hand. He suspended Punk because he deserved it. Really, it’s like when Punk comes out here and says the things he says and we’d do the same thing he did if we were in his shoes. It’s not about him and his family, it’s about him doing what’s right for us. That’s what he does. He was going to tell us a story about Vince? Vince will tell us a story about him. Punk’s contract is almost over. So, Punk says Vince this is what I want, special limo service, fly first class, etc. etc. Vince says Punk wasn’t worthy of being on DVDs/magazines, and he suspended Punk because he deserved it. Punk is just that, a punk. Vince says he’ll see us next week in Boston.
BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR NO BULLSHIT!
Cena doesn’t even stop this time and walks right down to the ring.
Cena asks if that’s it. After an unbelievable tirade like that, a suspension, and stripping him of his number one contendership, Vince is going to call him a punk and kick him to the curb? Vince says that Punk did it to himself, and John says that he spoke his mind. Vince believes in the first amendment, right? Vince says that’s why Cena’s mic is still working. Cena says that Vince has always been a fighter. He remembers when Vince would walk down the ramp and do his walk (which Cena mimics terribly), and whoever stood in Vince’s way, Vince would fight. Vince took down people because he was a fighter. Punk says a few things that get under Vince’s skin, so Vince suspends him. Has Vince finally gone soft? Are those famous McMahon grapefruits now peach pits? If Vince doesn’t wanna fight anymore, Cena still wants to, and he wants to fight Punk. And if Vince doesn’t feel like fighting, maybe he should hang it up.
Vince says he’ll tell us why Vince really suspended Punk. Vince doesn’t wanna take a chance on Cena. Doesn’t wanna take a chance that Punk defeats Cena. Vince takes calculated risks, which is how he beat everyone who gets in his way. Therefore if Punk defeats Cena, Punk will walk out and into some other organization, and Vince will not be embarrassed. Cena says that the billionaire chairman afraid of being embarrassed. Vince is afraid of Cena not beating Punk. Cena says that he’s not going to guarantee he’s going to beat Punk, but Punk earned a spot and the people want to see it. Oh, and God forbid we embarrass Vince McMahon. As a member of the WWE Universe, MitB is the biggest PPV of the year. Can Punk pull it off? Can Cena win against Punk? It’s not embarrassing, it sounds like the match of the year. But some kid said something that Vince didn’t like, so Vince suspended him. Cena asks if he says something Vince doesn’t like, will Cena gets suspended? Vince tells him not to piss him off. Vince says don’t be Hogan or anyone that came before him. Vince says they’ll talk in front of these people, but talk to him one on one. Vince gave a logical explanation. Vince doesn’t wanna take the chance of being embarrassed. Cena says he should give the people what we want. Vince says Cena is embarrassing him now. Vince doesn’t give a damn what we want because he is not gonna jeopardize who he is and his company. Doesn’t John get this isn’t His company? Before John, there were others. Doesn’t John get that? It’s Vince’s company. And Vince does what’s right for the company, and for each and every one of us. His decisions are good ones. Vince asks if they’re good. John says he gets it and its Vince’s company. He gets it and he’s not stupid. But, if that’s how Vince wants to run it, it’s not something Cena signed up for. He gets it, everyone is replaceable. Cena works himself to the bone for Vince and the brand because he thinks that this stands for something. You’re so worried about Punk taking the championship and making it meaningless, and if you just kick him to the curb, you make it meaningless. Cena passes Vince the Championship and starts to walk out. Vince tells him to stop, and Cena does. Vince tells Cena not to go anywhere and makes his way out of the ring. Vince and Cena stand nose to nose, and then Vince says alright, I hate this has come between them. Punk’s reinstated, and Cena has his match. Vince says Cena shouldn’t be smiling because if Punk walks out of Chicago with the championship, Cena is fired.
Interesting RAW tonight, guys. I’ll be back… when I’m back. Sorry about the lack of appearance, guys. I’m working on it.
I’ve always said that BoredWrestlingFan.com is a site created by wrestling fans for wrestling fans. That’s absolutely true. We’re not “insiders.” We don’t work for any wrestling organization. We are normal people with jobs just like all of you, and sometimes real life gets in the way of our ability to meet deadlines here on BWF. Hence why you haven’t seen a RAW or SmackDown review for the last couple of weeks. That’s also the explanation for this article, for you see, we decided at the last minute to throw together a roundtable discussion for the WWE Over The Limit 2011 Pay Per View event, and I was supposed to post it. The problem is, I was busy all weekend, and at the point that I was going to post it, crazy stuff happened that prevented me from doing so. That’s irrelevant, anyhow, so let’s get started!
