Raw Commentary 8/3

[vegas vinn]

Hey everyone, tonight's Raw commentary will not be a "live blog". Since I'm STILL at work, it's going to be out late. If I have time, it will be tonight or tomorrow. I apologize for any inconvenience.

[TheLegendKiller]

don't worry about it vinn. this might be the worst show i ever seen. I want to murder that asian guy.

[TheLegendKiller]

And Jeremey Piven just referred to SummerSlam as SummerFest........................................ ...............

[vegas vinn]

Alright, just got home from work. I have Raw DVR'ed, so with all of the commercials fast forwarded, I should be able to get through this in 30 mins (can you sense the sarcasm?).

[vegas vinn]

-"TheLegendKiller" was right, the asian from The Hangover is annoying. Guest GM's should be banned. Only way this would work would be to bring back retired wrestlers that have the mic skills, like Ted Dibiase a couple weeks ago.

-I hope the Miz doesn't look like a jobber against Cena, AGAIN!

-Jeremy Piven doesn't even look enthusiastic at all. How are these guys great actors? They probably just don't care.

-Can't wait for the 2 on 1 handicap match tonight... NOT!!! (I feel like I'm in grade school again using that word). If I were to take a guess, HHH will destroy Legacy and make them look like shit for the... what... fifth time?!?!

- lol... Summerfest... I don't even know how to express my anger on this one.

- Hmmm... The Miz banned from Raw "for all eternity" if he loses? This is kinda interesting. If he loses, he'll probably go to Smackdown... which is not necessarily a bad thing. He'd be reunited with Morrison. Both are great together, but I don't think that will happen. I think both wrestlers have the potential to stay single's wrestlers. Lemme rephrase that...with all of the injuries the WWE is experiencing, THEY NEED THESE GUYS AS SINGLE'S WRESTLERS. I bet The Miz wins somehow... either outside interference. Maybe even Jeremy Piven turns on Cena????

[vegas vinn]

- Wow, Swagger is carrying Evan Bourne around like a Rag Doll. For once, I like what the writers did with this. They gave us a surprise with a Bourne upset. Now Swagger is pissed, and beats him cleanly. Basically, no games. And now, he takes out his anger on Bourne after the match.

- Swagger looked pretty athletic doing that move off the second rope. Looks like he can be quick when he wants to. They didnt move this guy from ECW to Raw for nothing. He's going to be a main eventer some day, even with that babyface.

[vegas vinn]

-Make sure you go to 7-11 and get the collectable cups. COLLECT ALL 5!

-Please don't make a filler match for Summerslam with Big Show vs. Shaq. Big Show already jobbed to Money Maywheather, he doesn't deserve to do it to Shaq.

-How is Kofi Kingston going to defeat the Big Show? He won 2 PPV's already, one triple threat, and the other 6 wrestler FFA. Will he really lose to Big Show after all of that? Might be a longshot, but I can see Shaq distracting or interfering with the Big Show during his match. Maybe a titantron video or something. Then Kofi can hit him with his finisher while distracted.

-Look for Gail Kim to give another hint at a heel turn, if not make the heel turn.

-Inside Joke, right before Jillian and Beth Phoenix came out, Michael Cole said "Wild Oats".

- Nice to see Jillian back. Although she usually jobs to the other women, she's a pretty talented wrestler. Shame they dont give her much of a chance.

- Speaking of Jillian and Beth Phoenix... Remember right before Beth Phoenix became the Glamazon? I believe there was a 6 women tag match... Jim Ross got mixed up, and called Beth Phoenix Jillian Hall. I think Beth got really pissed, because the following week, JR apologized on air.

- Gail Kim's pretty agile. That should move into Jillian at the turnbuckle and landing on the apron was impressive. That was one of the best missile dropkicks I've seen in a while too. She should be the next champ, if not... Beth Phoenix. I think Mickie James had her time.

Wild Oats...I hate that bitch. To let everyone in on the joke. There was this waitress at Jokers Bar and Grille on Castor Ave near Cottman that was the biggest ****. Well her nickname was Oats

[vegas vinn]

Clean up that mouth on my thread. what do you think this is, jokers?

[vegas vinn]

- I have been eating during this 2 on 1 match. No interest at all, but I will say this, HHH better not win this match outright. That makes Legacy look WEAK!

[vegas vinn]

- Great ending! I never realized that Cody Rhode's finisher was "Crossroads", that's pretty creative. But if you noticed, Cody is starting to get the psycho look like Orton. It's about time they make these guys look better.

- Triple HHH actually acting hurt at the end of the match gets them over even more. But with all his talking, sounds like DX vs Legacy at Summerslam.

[vegas vinn]

- WOW, HHH's comments on Flair and Batista! HAHAHA! Flair really is signing autographs in indy feds. He quit ROH thinking he was going to get signed by WWE. And on top of that, his son (who was scheduled to make his ROH debut) was caught with drugs (cocaine I believe). And Batista... he is always hurt. Can't be steroids, can it?!?!?! Batista is the worst wrestler in the WWE. I'd rather see Kain fight a jobber.

- Actually, Chavo is right behind Batista. Not only is he a bad actor, but his wrestling skills are overrated.

- Great... another Chavo vs Hornswaggle match!

- Carlito vs. Primo, I guess this shouldn't be that bad of a match. Anyone notice Carlito's hair with the water in it? Nasty!

[vegas vinn]

- Not a bad match so far, but the crowd is silent! I dont think the crowd likes either.

- That Backstabber move... it looks so awkward when its executed. That must hurt even if its just a little bit.

[vegas vinn]

- MarkSwaggle, ok, its a bit funny. And he looks like he really is enjoying that outfit... he's got a huge smile on his face. Let's just hope Henry can beat Chavo in record time!

- Quick match! Couldn't ask for much more that that. Go MarkSwaggle! Let's just hope that this Mark Swaggle is a one time thing. A little off topic... but anyone every remember Sexual Chocolate?!?!?! Great gimmick back in the day.

- That was one ugly heel kick. I was waiting for him to injure himself. Anyone remember Sid Viscious's leg turn in half after doing a jump kick off the top rope? If not, youtube it. WARNING: It will make you nauseous!

- I never thought about it, but that tadpole splash must be really hard for Hornswaggle to do. He's jumping from a top rope that is over twice his height. If I did a jump that was twice my height, it woule be over 12 ft. tall.

[vegas vinn]

- Great skit with Orton and the two clowns. Get's Orton over well with his heel character. Both looked legitimately scared. I guess they can act... sometimes.

- I like the merge of Y2J and Big Show's music. I'm very curious on how this ends. I'm almost certain that Shaq interferes with the Titantron. Why else would they have that poll up.

[vegas vinn]

- I like how the Big Show is usually a guillotine. That was impressive on Kofi's part too as he was in the air in the lock.

- Big Show's slap to the chest must hurt like a bitch!

- Y2K is an awesome heel on the mic. His gimmick just didn't work as a face.

- Wow, Big Show looked like he landed wrong on his knee with that 2nd rope reverse drop. Anyone know the official name of that move? (almost same move as Swagger did to Bourne after the match- he did it twice).

[Bekirk302]

Ahh Sexual Chocolate with Mae Young was easily the lowest point of wrestling. Especially when Mae Young had his love child with the help of Pat Patterson and Brisco.

[vegas vinn]

- WOW! Not only did Kofi get height, but there was no margin of error for that. He didn't have much room to work with there since he was so close to the rope.

- There goes the DQ, I didnt think he would win the title.

- This Y2J and Big Show team reminds me of a gimmick that happened not long ago. Anyone remember "THE Brian Kendrick" and Ezekiel Jackson? Kendrick would do all the talking while Ezekiel did the dirty work. Looks like Y2J is doing the same role.

I'll give you that, but it was funny for a bit.

[vegas vinn]

- Am I the only person that hates Shawn Michaels and HHH? Speaking of that, did you hear HHH say "I thought you didn't do jobs". It doesn't look like the crowd got that reference. Shawn Michaels is known in the industry for not "jobbing" to others in matches. Two that I remember offhand: Shane Douglas and Bret Hart.

-Shane Douglas was known as Dean Douglas in WWE. From what I understand, Michaels was scheduled to lose the Intercontinental Title to Douglas. Apparently, the Kliq didn't want Douglas beating Michaels, so Michaels lost the title by forfeit (I believe Michaels got the shit kicked out of his, in real life mind you, but a couple of marines. Michaels apparently has a big cocky mouth) to Douglas. But Razon Ramon later beat Douglas that same night and won the title. This is what caused the bad blood between WWE and Douglas.
-Shawn several times tried to get out of losing to Bret. I dont remember the details, but there was much dislike between the two. In addition, Bret hated the Kliq. This ended up peaking with the Montreal Screwjob.

[vegas vinn]

- Sgt. Slaughter as guest GM... that's what I'm talking about. This is what they should do for now on. It gives a nostalgic feeling to the old school fans, and plus, the former wrester will have his heart into the guest GM role. If this was a live blog, I would maybe speculate that some of the Raw bookers were reading this.

[vegas vinn]

- I love how the ref just waves his hands at the lumberjacks on the outside.

- Cena really hit them steps pretty hard. If you can rewind your DVR (if you haven't deleted it yet), listen to the sound of the steps. They vibrate for a couple of seconds.

- Wow, did you hear the sound of Dr. Ken's head fall onto the ground? HAHAHAHA! I'm surprised that Ken was willing to do that move. For the WWE's sake, I hope he signed a waiver! You can see the look on his face, he was definitely hurt.

- I'm actually thinking that next week's show with Slaughter should be decent.

Again, sorry about the late "live blog". I'll be here next week, and please, feel free to comment on anything I said (or didn't say).
