Here are my 10 thoughts on RAW this week.

1. The opening match was pretty good.  The DX tension is pretty lame, though.  Seriously, they just fought each other in a Triple Threat match and now there’s a big deal about them fighting in the Royal Rumble?  Doesn’t make sense.
2. One of the two dudes from Psych couldn’t make it tonight as he just had an appendectomy.  Lame excuse.  He should just limp out.
3. Who is this GM anyway?  I don’t think I’ve ever seen him before (other than ads for Psych).  He’s not as awful as some past GM’s though.  (I’m looking at you Verne Troyer and Al Sharpton).
4. This Divas Championship tournament is responsible for some of the absolutely worst wrestling I’ve ever seen.  Simply terrible.
5. It’s funny that Vince McMahon pointed out to everyone that Bret Hart was a colossal failure in WCW (through no fault of his own.  Ahem, Hogan)
6. Cena’s rant to McMahon was pretty cool.  McMahon actually let on-air the main issue all former wrestler’s have with him and the wrestling industry in general.
7. So Jack Swagger finally threw Santino over the top rope.  This is what former ECW champions are reduced to.  (Although I do like Morella’s quest to not look like a “stupido”).
8. If McMahon was mad at Cena, why did he give him a match with Sheamus?  That’s exactly what Cena tells us he wants every week.
9. Good ending to the main event tonight until Cena FU”d Orton.  Seriously, Sheamus looked strong against Cena and then Orton intervenes, costing him the clean win, and it should’ve ended there so we care about Orton/Sheamus at the Royal Rumble.  Instead, we get Cena taking out Orton in a precursor to an obvious Rumble win.  Has any of my readers figured out when I first called that by the way?
10. Overall a lackluster RAW leading up to the Royal Rumble which is my favorite PPV of the year behind WM.

 

See you next week kids.
