Weekly Raw Commentary

[vegas vinn]

Before I start, did anyone see the pictures of Batista on the beach (I think it may have been TMZ). If you notice, no scars from his surgery... interesting. Rumor going around is his injury was fake, and that the WWE is using that as a front for a failed drug test.

- Anyone tired of how Legacy is portrayed as a bunch of lackeys? Every week its a 3 on 2 match. It makes em look so weak. Remember when Shane McMahon was on a couple of months ago, and he was able to take out all 3 members by himself basically? Why build up Legacy as monster heels, and then just make them look like jobbers?

- Speaking of Legacy, Randy Orton probably has one of the best entrances in the WWE. The music and his heel attitude compliment each other.

- Also getting pissed about these lame tag team main event matches. Reminds me of the old "Superstars" or "Wrestling Challenge" Saturday Morning WWF shows where you got to see Hacksaw Jim Duggan beat the shit out of the Brooklyn Brawler.

- I think John Cena is talented, but his gimmick is getting old. Almost turning into Mick Foley with the "cheap pops". I think it's in the WWE's best interests to turn him heel. Many fans already hate him, and I think he can definitely get under people's skin. He did a fantastic job when he was a heel early in his career.

- I don't know why, but I just can't take Jack Swagger seriously. It must be the babyface.

- I'm curious about whether they are going to start giving Carlito a push. If so, how far? Right before his brother became his tag partner, he was basically a jobber, and I heard rumors that he was not happy with the company and was ready to quit.

- ZZ Top as the guest GM? Aren't they stretching it a bit here? Although, Santino coming in there gives it some entertainment. I dont know what it is, but he always cracks me up.

- I thought the "Million Dollar Man Ted Dibiase" did a hell of a job last week as guest GM. He has that talent of really getting over with the storylines. Money INC. was the shit back in the day!

- I feel bad for the Big Show. He now has to take bumps for the mid-carders. Come on, can someone the size of Kofi Kingston really take someone the size of the Big Show down? Let's make wrestling a little more realistic. One thing I must give props to the Big Show for, the man can do some acrobatics, especially for his size. He can even do a moonsault from the top rope!

- I wonder where they're going with "THE Brain Kendrick" gimmick. It's really going no where so far, although I do see some potential with it. He was suppose to be looking for a "tag partner", but it looks like they scrapped that plan. Now he's scheduled to fight Jerry Lawler. I bet Lawler somehow wins, even though the man has no talent whatsover! Watch his matches, punch, punch, punch from the 2nd rope, and piledriver. Although he hasnt done the piledriver much.

- What is the point in making Lawler win? They just made Kendrick look like dog shit for taking that loss!!! If the man wins his election for mayor of Memphis, he won't be in the WWE anymore. Why give that old bag of bones a win?!?!?!?!

- Speaking of Lawler, I really don't know how he got a push in his career. As I watch the old AWA matches on ESPN Classics, he basically wrestles exactly the same, except he's younger with facial hair. His matches are so boring. I don't know whose brilliant idea it was to have Lawler to beat "Cool" Curt Hennig for the AWA Title.

- I dont watch it, but when I saw clips of the Miz on the Real World, I thought he was lame. I've been really impressed with him since coming into the WWE, he's come a long way. Miz and Morrison were especially entertaining together. When they were arguing with HHH and HBK, I couldn't stop laughing when Morrison said "ARE YOU 50?"

- It amazes me how Jericho can make a good match with almost anyone, including Mark Henry.

- Why is Chavo Guerrero Jr. still in the WWE? His uncles were the true talent: Hector, Mondo, Eddie, and Chavo Sr. I always thought he sucked, and lived off his last name. Speaking of Mondo Guerrero- this guy was the man. He was great to watch in the AWA. He did a lot of "high paced" moves in an era when technical wrestling was the norm. I think I read somewhere that when G.L.O.W. first started (Glamorous Women Of Wrestling), he was the head coach of training the women. Apparently, the women weren't taking it serious, and he ended up slapping one across the face.

- Wow, I never seen Lillian Garcia slip up on the mic! Always a first time!

- This pretty much sums up Chavo Guerrero Jr's career, tuxedo match with Hornswaggle. I guess McMahon is feeling sorry for Chavo with his uncle, so he pays him for doing absolutely shit!

If your going to bring up the Brooklyn Brawler you best remember Barry Horowitz

Agreed! Barry Horowitz would scream like a girl in the ring. Classic!

- For the Night of Champions PPV

- Kofi Kingston has to defend his US Title against 5 other people. Didn't he have a triple threat title defense the last PPV? If he wins this, thats impressive. I have a feeling he'll drop the title here though.

- I'm very curious to know Chris Jericho's tag team mystery partner. Any ideas on who it is? I heard a rumor that it was Teddy Hart, Bret Hart's nephew.

- ZZ Top has to have been the worst guest GM, maybe ever! You can tell these guys had no interest in the WWE, just sitting at their mics all night. I was hoping one of them would trip. Would have given me some interest.

- They just announced Shaq. I don't know how I feel about that, but he won't be half as bad as ZZ Top.
