No more insta-videos here. Time for some quick RAW notes:
– The opening promo with Rock and Cena was excellent. I wonder how John Cena will respond… oh wait, I know how he will respond – with another nursery rhyme. In the war of words, Rock is dominating this ten times over. And on top of that, he treats Miz like a viable threat as opposed to a joke. Nice rub.
– So wait, John Cena gets Alberto Del Rio… and the Miz gets the Great Khali? Really? What, is Giant Gonzales unavailable?
– Sheamus is YOUR new US Champion so, maybe he won’t be treated as a joke… maybe I should change the Juan Cena episodes… nah, I’m not gonna bother. Regardless, these two had a great match and I was impressed, even if the stipulation made the end result a dead giveaway.
– Wow, they’re really bringing back all the old-timers, aren’t they? Last week, it was JBL. This week, it’s Brian Christopher… and man, does he look… not good… I mean, what? They couldn’t get Miss Kitty on the show? Just… WOW. I feel old.
– Oh yeah, JR is back to get his ass kicked. What a surprise.
– So Randy Orton managed to do what John Cena couldn’t; kill the Nexus. Actually, that’d be stretching it. Nexus was already dead by this point; all Orton did was cut off the life support. It just seems sad and unfortunate that what started off as a surefire winner in 2010 became an absolute joke and non-entity on the mangled, broken road to Wrestlemania.
– Miz dressed up as the Rock? Not bad, missing darker skin and the huge-ass tribal tattoo. Miz beatdown on Cena, however? Excellent stuff. If this doesn’t sell Miz as a threat, I don’t know what will. In fact, I’m amazed by Miz’s dominance over Cena in the build-up. This is how we push a champion, folks.
And another thing…
So yeah… RAW was actually entertaining. Good episode, in fact. So that’s nice.
