Raw August 30, 2004
I liked the start of the show for sure. I have to admit that I've always liked Randy Orton. I thought he was the best heel on Raw for awhile. The sledgehammer thing was a slight surprise, but it being dropped on Bichoff's foot was not. I was also not surprised that he returned later in the show.
As for the Lita/Kane thing, I think it is absolutely retarded. I did since he started stalking her. But I guess with the absence of the twisty-turny Jericho/Stratus (GaG) romance angle, there had to be some happy couple, right? I was expecting Kane to fight HBK at Unforgiven, but I was surprised to have it delivered that way.
The HIGHLIGHT REEL was awesome. Now, although I want people to read this and I want to be fair about it, I am always biased for Chris Jericho. It just happens. I mean, look at my screename and my icon. But some HR's are better than others, and I really did enjoy this one. I mean, silly Edge. I was going to be very disapointed if it had really ended in a handshake, so I was giddy to see Christain... It was horribly confusing to see E & C on telivison on the same spot. I don't know which prospect I enjoy more-- and E & C fued, or and E & C reunion! Ahh, what am I thinking? A reunion would (I'm gonna do it!) SO TOTALLLY REEK OF AWESOMENESS! So that was exciting for me.
Ahh, the diva search. Horrible, horrible thing. The only part worth talking about is all the shit this 'Carmella' gets. It's very funny. I thought calling her a 'cum guzzling gutter slut' was the best part.
Matches--
La Resistance & Coach defeated Rhyno & Tajiri
Big surprise. I like Rhyno though, and I thought a pairing of him and Tajiri was odd, but alright.
Batista def. William Regal
Stupid brass-knucks! I used to despise the broadcasting of William Regal on RAW. I really did. Before he left I mean. But now, he's okay. It's not only because he's face, because I don't usually pop for face's anyway. I tend to find one charachter that I like, and stick to that person. But I'm kinda impressed by Regal. On the other hand, Batista is awesome. Especially for starting in the business so late in his life. I hope he's around for awhile.
Kane def. Pat, Nat, Rat & Fat Hardy
I can not believe this was counted as a match. That's horrible. I mean, FAT Hardy? The WWE should work on it's name situation!
Chris Benoit def. Ric Flair via DQ
I'm honestly not sure where I think Benoit should be now that he is title-less. I mean, I was happy when Orton got the title. So happy. Like Barney at your 1st birthday party happy. But Benoit was well liked as a title holder too, which is evident by his maaaaanny pops. I'm currently confused. I'll get back to you on that. Flair is still Flair. He entertains many, despite his old age. So that's fine by me.
Nidia & Victoria def. Gail Kim & Trish Stratus
Ohh GEE! I'm so confused! I just don't know who that "Mystery Woman" is! *coughstevenrichardscough*. DUH! Victoria- I liked her since her crazy begining. Nidia- She needs some personality. Gail Kim- Awesome submission manuvers, and I think she's a great athelete, but also needs to work on mic skills/acting. Trish- I still think she makes a really good heel ever since the whole Jericho thing, which, makes me mad if you didn't catch that earlier. I liked him paired with Stephanie McMahon. Still do... smoochy dreamer, man!
Eugene def. Triple H
I was wondering how Orton was going to incorporate himself back into the show after he left, or which match he would interfere in. I wasn't surprised though. But it was cool, because now he may have Eugine following him around as a 'friend'. Dig the sledgehammer though. Very HHH-esque.
Highest point of the night- Evolution Storyline
2nd- Highlight REEL
Lowest point of the night- Diva search
2nd- Kane/Lita
Far out wishes/opinions:
Orton- I want him to form another alliance and take on evolution. How awesome would that be? But I don't know who to put in it. I guess I would choose Shawn Michaels and Chris Jericho. Just cause I think it would be cool. I know, wierd. Hence the 'far out' in the title.
Edge/Christian- I talked about this earlier, but I would love another E&C Tag Title reign. Edge would have to lose the IC Title first (or at least in my world), so he could lose to Jericho. That would make me happy, but once again, far out.
Last but not least would be ShAnE-0 Mac- I just want him to return. I've noticed a small pattern in his leaving/returning. It's like he has a small feud, builds it up to a pay-per-view, proceeds to nearly die at said pay-per-view, then comes back about a year later. Just a wish though.
Thank you for your time. This is here not only for me to remember RAW's of the past, but to see what others think of my opinions. PLEASE leave a comment, tell me what you think!
