If there was a more definite definition of a sports-entertainment program serving as background noise, then you need not look further than tonight’s edition of RAW. Man, oh man, nothing of note remotely happened that caused me to pay attention. However, it wasn’t entirely and completely pointless and without merit. So without further to do, here’re some thoughts;
– So far, we have a couple matches for Summerslam. First off, your WWE Champion, Sheamus, will be defending the title against Randy Orton, who won a Triple-Threat match featuring Edge and Chris Jericho to earn the shot. So glad that we have Sheamus as champion so that we can have fresh, new and exciting main-events like him vs. Randy Orton… oh wait, they had a match? At the Royal Rumble this year? Oops, silly me.
– Secondly, as teased by the title, it’ll be a fourteen-man tag-team contest featuring the stable group Nexus against the team of John Cena, R-Truth, Edge, Chris Jericho, John Morrison, Great Khali… and Bret Hart. Wow. Right there, that’s already a 6-on-7 handicap match… Didn’t Bret allegedly have insurance issues that resulted in him being “fired” or something? Wouldn’t mind seeing how this turns out… won’t necessarily make me buy the PPV or anything, but who knows?
– By the way, loving the Miz right now. Part of me almost wished that he DID cash in that MiTB and won the title. At least the title match for Summerslam would have been somewhat fresh. In any case, I’ve got a feeling Miz is gonna be champ sooner than later.
And that’s all there is to it. I was too busy playing 1941 for the rest of it.
Later.
