Well Raw has begun, hopefully there is a build up to Wrestlemania today because the last few weeks have shown me nothing to interst me in Wrestlemania.
RVD & Hardyz vs Dudleyz & Regal
RVD and Regal start off. Bunch of acrobatic stuff by RVD. Bubba is tagged in as is Jeff Hardy. Bubba grabs a table by Jeff kicks it in his face. WAZZUP by the Dudleyz to Hardy. Jeff hits a corkscrew moonsault that he fumbled and made D-Von look like an idiot because he had to just stand there. Poetry in motion to Regal. Everyone now has a partner to dance with. 3D, Twist of Fate, Bubba Bomb, Van Daminator, and a 5 Star frog splash by RVD on Regal for the win. 1*
Apparently Vince has some earth shattering news....what could it be? What the hell....are we in a courtroom or something?
Kurt Angle is on his way to the ring and talks about being robbed of his Wrestlemania title shot. Don't worry I would cry as well Kurt if I had to wrestle Kane. He berades the fans and Booker T comes out to talk now. Edge comes out as well and shows footage of how stupid Booker T was on the weakest link. Booker vs Edge at Wrestlemania. Angle starts to talk like Adrian.....BRO. Olympic spin-a-rooney...YAH!!! This segment is so gay. So there is a tag match between Booker and Angle vs Edge and a partner of his choosing.... hmmm I wonder if he will choose the Big Slow. He seems to be chosen for these types of matches all the time.
Rikishi vs Test
Rikishi ways 350 lbs? I can guarantee that he doesn't. Time for the workrate match of the night! I don't really care for this match so I won't do a move for move review, I will just give it a rating. Mr. Perfect interferes and Test hits the boot for the win. What was the purpose of Perfect interfering?? Tune in next week, same raw time, same raw channel! DUD
Wow the backstage segments are getting so stupid and boring. I am totally getting turned off of Raw right now.
Goldust vs Al Snow
Trash can lid to the head of Snow and punches in the corner. Goldust goes for the ball breaker but Snow escapes it and hits the Snow Plow on a trash can lid and covers Goldust for the 3 and the Hardcore Championship....Ah maybe Wrestlemania will feature Snow vs Maven! Too quick of a match for a rating.
Ok this is going to far, running over a dog? And Triple H talks to it like the dog understands what is going on.
Angle & Booker T vs Edge & Big Slow
Wow what a surprise, it's the Big Slow! See I told you he always gets used in these types of matches. Show and Booker start off and show hits a clothesline, Booker hits a foot to the face and tags in Kurt. show hits a double clothesline and presses Kurt over his head. Ankle lock on Kurt but show kicks Kurt over the ropes. Edge jumps off Shows shoulders to the outside. Back in the ring, Angle hits Edge with a german Suplex. Booker tags in and gets hit with a spinning heel kick. Show tries to double chokeslam Booker and Angle but gets a double suplex instead. Angle dumps Edge outside. Booker hits a scissor kick on Show, Spear by Edge, Angle Slam and Ankle Lock on Show for the tap out win. What is this? A night where everyone hits their finishers? Geez!!! 1*
Billy vs Christian
Punches by Billy to start and a tilt-a-whirl slam by Billy, kicks in the corner. Hey JR what's a Irish Rip? Billy tries the Fameasser but Christian throws a fit and DDP consoles him. Chucks nails Christian. Fameasser on Christian, Diamond Cutter on Billy and Christian gets the win and celebrates but then nails DDP from behind. Wow I guess that is setting up a DDP vs Christian match at Wrestlemania. Boring match, DUD.
Lita & Trish vs Jazz & Stacy
Skip!
HHH comes back from outside and man does he look pissed!
Out comes Steph to the ring. May I ask why she still has Triple H's old music? She apologizes to Hunter and out comes Triple H and he chases Steph and tries to Pedigree but out of nowhere comes Jericho and nails HHH with a sledgehammer but we don't get to see it because TSN felt it was time to show one of it's ever popular crowd shots!
The Rock & Stonecold Steve Austin vs The NWO
I see the Rock is fully healed from his brutal Ambulance accident. Hey the NWO actually brought their wrestling gear. Nash looks really fat! Hall and Rock start off, punches by both and Rock hits a clothesline on Hall and more punches on Hall. Hall with a clothesline and a tag to Nash. Punches by both men and a side slam by Nash for a two count. Hogan gets tagged in and nails Rocky with a clotheline and right hands! Back suplex and a tag to Hall. Rock punches his way out of the corner and tags Austin and he cleans house. Lou Thesz press on Nash that he totally messes up. Spinebuster on Hall. Double clothesline to Hall and Nash. Big boot by Nash to Austin and a tag to Hall where he stomps Austin. Fallway Slam by Hall to Austin. Austin and Nash go at it and Nash gets the upper hand and tags in Hall. Wow the NWO is looking very sloppy. Hogan and Austin in the ring and Hogan tags in Hall. Chokeslam by Hall. The crowd is dead. Hall calls for the Razor's Edge but Austin hits a backdrop. Double clothesline by Austin and Hall to where it looked like Hall never even got hit. Double hot tag. DDT on Hall by the Rock. Nash tags in Hogan and Rock jumps to his feet only to get knocked down by Nash from behind. Hogan uses his punch and kick offence to take down the Rock. Hall, Nash and Austin fight outside, and Hogan nails Rocky with the big boot and the leg drop, and gets the 3 count, I guess we know who is going over at Wrestlemania! Hall gives Austin a stunner for good measure. 1*
For a show that should have been focusing on building Wrestlemania they didn't do too good of a job. The NWO was ver sloppy in the ring and the story lines are incredibly boring right now. This can't be drawing rating at all. Plus it looks like they are just trying to throw together a bunch of garbage matches to fill the card for Sunday night. To me it is a total waste of my time!
