So last night’s show featured Mike Tyson as a guest host, which made this the second RAW show that I stayed up until the end to watch. Of course, next week’s hosts prove that this is going to be the last one until Shatner comes along a couple weeks later.
Some quick thoughts:
– Tyson opens things up, where Sheamus comes out and tells Tyson to call the match off. This is quickly followed by Randy Orton, and John Cena, and Coffee Kingston retorting that they deserve com. Somewhere along the way, John Cena references the various characters of Mike Tyson’s Punch Out, which actually made me smile a bit… although these days Tyson looks less like Tyson and more like Mr. Sandman… oh well.
– They have a match in the Divas tournament that I don’t really care about. Seriously, TNA’s show was shit, for the most part, but at least they have a couple women who can actually perform good matches when they get the chance.
– Hey, by the way, nice crack by Cody Rhodes on The Marine: “My fifth-grade graduation video is superior to the Marine!” I haven’t seen the video and yet I’m tempted to agree.
– HBK and Tyson talk and somehow this gets turned into a tag-team match between DX and Jericho/Tyson. Jesus, didn’t they do a fucking match LAST WEEK where if Jericho lost, he’s gone from RAW FOREVER? What’s the fucking point of having a stipulation match if he’s NEVER going to go the fuck away?
– [Who The Fuck Is] Jack Swagger challenges anyone to toss him over the top rope. Challenge accepted and won by Santino Marella of all people. Good show, Santino. Definitely moving up in the world…
– Randy Orton wins the Triple Threat match over Cena and Coffee, thus earning a shot against Sheamus for the title at the Royal Rumble… lame.
– DX beats Jericho after Tyson reveals a DX shirt and knocks out Jericho. This was almost predictable the minute the match was announced, but it came off good so no real complaints.
So overall, this show was okay-ish. Not much more than that.
