BRM's thoughts on the 2/14/2011 Raw (OMFG THE ROCK!)
Posted: Feb 16th, '11, 16:00
CENA PROMO- This was good. Cena did what he does best, which was get the crowd hyped up, even for stuff they probably wouldn’t normally be hyped for, like the guest host announcement.
CENA vs. PUNK- 7/10. Clever finish.
SMACKDOWN SEGMENT- This was a great segment THAT SHOULD HAVE TAKEN PLACE ON SMACKDOWN!
Crap, I miss ONE WEEK of Smackdown, and apparently some crazy sh*t went down. Guess I watching SD before I finish the rest of this week’s Raw.
Okay. Back to Raw.
LUMBERJILL MATCH FOR THE DIVAS TITLE: Eve Torres(c) vs. Natalya- 4.5/10.
This stip makes absolutely no sense in this feud!
RANDOM BACKSTAGE DIVAS SCHMOZ- Okay, I guess.
SHEAMUS TAKES OUT MARK HENRY- Good.
Miz pushing that guy backstage was AWESOME. What a jerk. I just want to see someone beat him SO BADLY!
DANIEL BRYAN vs. THE MIZ (w/Alex Riley)- 6.75/10
It’s Valentine’s Day! Gail should have accompanied Dragon to the ring.
Good promo by Miz after the match.
R-TRUTH & JOHN MORRISON vs. OTUNGA & MCGILLICUTTY (w/Nexus)- 5/10, but got over what it needed to perfectly. If I were booking this, I would have had R-Truth off of this week’s show to sell his injuries.
KHALI-KISS-CAM… you know what? It’s Valentine’s day. I’m fine with this. They got almost all of the kayfabe couples, and actually did something storyline-wase with Maryse & Dibiase. My one gripe is that they should have had Gail & Dragon as they are the one kayfabe couple that they missed. But then… the following happened. A midget kissed a thirteen year old girl. Are we sure there aren’t obscenity laws or child-actor laws being violated here? And if not, there should be obscenity laws against having Hornswoggle on TV. But consider the following:
We never saw the Nexus member from earlier emerge from under the ring. We did just see Hornswoggle come out from under the ring… Hmmm…
RANDY ORTON vs. SHEAMUS- 5/10. Good while it lasted, but WAY too short!
The aftermath was pretty good, but Punk shouldn’t have taken the Attitude Adjustment. He is the heel leader. He should escape.
Okay, this is WAY over-produced to the point where it is getting annoying. Just play the music alre-YESSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE ROCK! OMG! THE F*CKING ROCK IS BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ROCKY! ROCKY! ROCKY!
That is probably the loudest pop I have heard on WWE TV in years. Maybe since Cena’s return at the Royal Rumble.
This segment was amazing. So much fun. Totally makes up for the crap wrestling on this show. Rocky hasn’t lost a step on the mic. WWE probably won’t come back to Anaheim for about two years after this because the fans have all lost their voices and might jot have them back by then! Hearing the censor try to keep up with Rocky was absolutely hilarious.
Stupid Announcer Quotes:
Was there some memo we all missed saying that all announcers must now refer to suplexes as “throws”? It has been happening a lot in both WWE and TNA lately, and it is pissing me off.
