From a pretty solid PPV to… THIS shit. Some quick notes:
– So John Cena joins the Nexus by wearing the Nexus armband (but still gets to keep his merch – bullshit) and must follow Wade Barrett’s orders or else he is FIRED. So what we have here is another Million Dollar Man/Virgil storyline. Oh yeah, Barrett’s the number one contender after winning some battle royale – so Barrett’s facing Randy Orton at the next PPV.
– By the way, this is probably a good time to mention that John Cena is the absolute WORST actor this side of Hulk Hogan… oh wait, I’m sorry. Hogan tends to show SOME acting ability… not a whole LOT, but SOME. I can’t say the same for Cena. Seriously, he can’t convey emotion. He just stands there like a fucking idiot staring at this armband while having this really morose look on his face. And when he’s reading this statement… he’s supposed to be sad, but he doesn’t sound sad. He sounds monotone. He sounds lifeless. He sounds he doesn’t care.
– Edge is traded to Smackdown, much to his relief since he’s tired of all the stupid from the Raw GM and Michael Cole, who apparently personified stupidity since 1997. Line of the night here: “I would rather listen to a tape recorded J.R. than a live Michael Cole.”
– Speaking of stupidity, way to bury your United States Champion there, gents. Not only by having Sheamus beat the crap out of him without a shed of offense, but also with the nameplate dangling off the title belt. Jesus Christ, does anyone take into account this signs of stupidity here? For fuck’s sake, man!
– So Goldust was the one sending messages to Ted Dibiase’s Million Dollar Championship that means nothing. Mauro Ranallo said it best on Right After Wrestling: Do YOU care about Goldust in 2010?
Yeah, I don’t either…
QUICK SIDE-NOTE: As you can probably tell, I’m doing these RAW Bytes on Wednesdays as opposed to Monday or Tuesday. Reason being that because I’m now presently working (in the evening) and I tend to catch the replay that airs later on.
