Managed to watch last night’s RAW and I have to admit that the show is far better than it has been in recent weeks. If anything, the wrestling is certainly a notch above what they’ve been doing… but then again, if there were two guys you could put together and get a top-notch wrestling match, it’d be CM Punk and Dolph Ziggler. I’m certainly happy that Punk is getting another go-around with the strap (even if he doesn’t get around to dumping the piece of shit and bringing a new title belt in) and Dolph Ziggler is certainly earning my interest every time he works a match. Here’s hoping he gets a shot at main event status somewhere down the line because I have a feeling that they haven’t even scratched the surface of Ziggler’s potential.
As far as the other couple matches on there, Zack Ryder continues to lose matches (but I’d be lying if I said he wasn’t entertaining in his losses), the Barrett/Kingston match was alright, and the Cody/Santino squash was nothing to write home about. If there was one thing I must compliment the booking on, it’s that all the finishes were clean here. Nice to see the creative team pull the reigns on nonsensical stunt bookings and just let the wrestlers tell the story.
Low points? Well, Johnny Ace is a bore, Johnny Cena is a whore, and no more Awesome Truth… because Truth got suspended… oops.
Overall, a stark improvement over previous weeks worth of RAW. Well done.
