Monday Night Raw continues to just be great. Last night was
filled with a bunch of shocking moments throughout the program. Brock Lesnar
and John Laurinaitis have in one night made themselves the top heels in the
business. They have helped make Raw and WWE unpredictable TV. I loved it.
Thoughts On Raw
Opening Segment

The opening segment on Raw was absolutely brilliant. Triple
H coming down to rain on the parade of Lesnar and Laurinaitis by taking away
the demands Brock was given last week. It was great in the opening promo before
the show when it said Raw starring Brock Lesnar. We all had an idea that
tonight would lead to a Triple H/Lesnar feud but I didn’t realize how well it
would be done. When Triple H took away the demands Lesnar completely snapped.
He beat the hell out of Triple H and broke his arm. (kayfabe) Brock Lesnar
seems like a man that is extremely dangerous and can snap at anytime. WWE has
complete gold with him. It didn’t even matter that he lost at Extreme Rules.
WWE creative you should be applauded.
Kofi Kingston and R-Truth New Tag Team Champions

Ok Epico and Primo really weren’t going anywhere as the
champs. I don’t really think they are over with the fans and frankly they just
aren’t that entertaining. My problem here WWE has just replaced Evan Bourne
with R-Truth. Kofi Kingston is becoming a career tag team wrestler. I guess he
really will never climb out of the mid card and besides the IC and US titles it’s
not going to get any better for him. R-Truth however is getting stuck in the
mid card because of his change to being a baby face. This guy showed what a
great crazy heel he can be. He was even part of the main event at Survivor
Series and I will add Awesome Truth was a way better tag team than Kingston and
Truth. I just think R-Truth has the talent to be much more. I think if Kofi was
better on the mic he would too.
Beat The Clock

I honestly usually really hate when this is done. But
honestly tonight it was done very well. I found myself confused that SmackDown
wrestlers were involved in it. But after tonight I guess any wrestler from any
brand can wrestle for any championship. With it being Raw Super Show I guess
that makes sense. I am grateful Miz was able to avenge his loss to Santino from
the Extreme Rules pre show. But what is the deal is he on a losing streak or
not? Jericho and Big Show gave an interesting match involving a count out.
JeriShow was a great tag team by the way. There were two other matches but they
aren’t important enough to talk about here. What is important is Daniel Bryan
won and will face CM Punk at Over The Limit and that’s a great thing! But enough
with Jerry Lawler getting into the ring, I understand wrestling is pre
determined but we are suppose to look at it as real. Why did Daniel Bryan get
to wrestle someone in their 60s? How is that fair?
The Bella Twins fired? Ok. I guess they are getting
released.

Ending Of The Show:
This was truly a great ending to the show. Cena shows up in
a sling and has words with General Manager John Laurinaitis. It seems now that
at Extreme Rules it was Laurinaitis who wanted him to take six months off.
Laurinaitis then had everyone thinking it would be Lord Tensai and Cena at Over
The Limit as Tensai was making his way to the ring. Instead Johnny takes a
cheap shot and he, Lord Tensai, and Tensai’s manger beat the holy hell out of
an injured John Cena. Then it was announced that Cena’s opponent will be John
Laurinaitis. I really liked this ending just made for terrific TV. WWE creative
has really come around.
Random Thoughts:
·
That crowd was anti-Lesnar.
·
Could they have picked a worse bunch of guys to
help Triple H? R-Truth was fired by Triple H. Sheamus put Triple H out of
action for almost a year. Do I really have to talk about the years of feuding
between Big Show and Triple H? Kofi was the only one that would make any sense.
·
Big Show’s small package on Jericho.
·
Jericho won’t be facing Punk again! Yes they put
on great matches but the feud was stale.
·
JTG on Raw. Alright good for him. Somebody
should have called his Momma.
·
I thought the Orton Swagger match was pretty
good.
·
Kane and Khali was a rematch for WrestleMania
23. Didn’t care to see it then and didn’t care to see it on Raw.
·
Jerry Lawler stay out of the ring!
·
CM Punk vs. Daniel Bryan will be a great match
on a crappy PPV.
·
John Cena referenced the DVD release of No Holds
Barred. This is truly a horrible Hulk Hogan movie but I love it. I can’t wait
to purchase it.
Wrestler of The Night: Brock Lesnar. This
comeback keeps getting better and better.
Wrestler Who Had A Rough Night: Triple H. I
realize Lesnar didn’t actually break his arm but DAMN did that look like it hurt.
