Jaded Raw Thoughts - 8/27/12
Backstage stuff: Nothing worthy to note.
Misc. crap: Cole keeps bugging me more and more, especially with him egging King about his choice. Very similar to how King egged Cole on when he had to face Cena on Raw a few months ago. I also missed on some bits due to watching some NCIS Bonus features with my family, which were much more entertaining than Raw.
King and Punk confrontation: Mixed feelings on this. Not a fan of Punk’s buzz cut look. Again, Punk makes good points and is treated like a heel. So Stupid. Punk and King match idea? Not thrilled.
Jack Swagger Vs Ryberg: Ugh, another one? Swagger got the jobber entrance… again. Didn’t this happen a few weeks ago? Swagger actually puts up some defense.
Natalya Vs Layla: Hey, finally I get to see Nattie in action after a long time! Unfortunately, she gets buried by fucking Layla. >_> Also, Vickie cuts in at the start and kicks Layla out of the ring for an announcement… and it was about Ziggler and Jericho’s match last week and about AJ being mentally deranged. Catfight ensues.
Daniel Bryan in Anger Management: That first bit… was kinda uncomfortable… Nice to see that Kane wears his welding mask when he goes to anger management. Kane also drops a Katie Vick reference.
King’s response: Nice of King to namedrop some famous names he fought in Memphis and his fight with Andy Koffman. He accepts the challenge. Not a fuck was given.
Cena Vs The Miz: Yay, like we haven’t seen this before! And it’s NOT the Main Event! Holy crap on a cracker! Josh Matthews also joins Cole on commentary. Good match.
Heath Slater Vs Santino: God, Cole, shut up about your fucking crush on Heath. Meh match. Aksana comes out and causes Santino to be distracted, but Santino manages to beat Heath anyway.
Brodus Clay and Sin Cara Vs Damien Sandow and Cody Rhodes: Didn’t really pay attention much during this match. Spent a good portion of this match, plus several others in the other room watching something more entertaining. Meh stuff.
Daniel Bryan Vs R-Truth: Meh. Did love Daniel Bryan’s rage getting the best of him and gets him counted out.
Triple H news: Various montages occur during the show, highlighting Hunter’s best moments from D-X to singles. Powerful promo. Thank you, Hunter, for being one of the few guys in the WWE I really continued to give a crap about. For being one of the guys who could be such a great heel. For being bad ass and giving us some great moments. And for being “The Game”.
Sheamus and Randy Orton Vs Dolph Ziggler and Alberto del Rio: No Vickie, must still be steaming after the whole AJ thing. Nice action.
Zack Ryder Vs David Otunga: Kane comes out on commentary and Josh bolts. Cole thinks they can be like Gorilla and The Brain. Blasphemer! Kane is silent during most of this match.
King Vs CM Punk: Fans choose what kind of match it’ll be: Tables, Cage, or No DQ. Since there’s a cage, it’s obvious it was gonna be a cage match. King gets pretty much NO reaction from the crowd. Alright match. Punk gets busted open, looks like he bladed. Even though I do like King, he did deserve that beating. BTW: who keeps a chain and a padlock in a tool box???? Also, Cena can’t climb cages, either. Huh?
Overall: After checking some reports, the two matches I missed when I was out of the room was the Brodus and Sin Cara tag match and the Daniel Bryan/Truth match, which were not that great from what I’ve heard and saw bits off. Actually, all but Sheamus/Orton vs Ziggler/Alberto, Miz/Cena, and Punk/King were the only decent or good matches. Triple H’s goodbye promo was touching, but I missed the first few minutes of it. The rest of the show was just not that great, especially the Anger Management segments, which were, IMO, kinda cringeworthy. Overall, a 4.5 out of 10.
