10 Anti Thoughts on RAW 05.11.09

Reviews, Shows, TV Shows

Warning: If you are not easily humored, this column is not for you.

1. When I see John Cena, I’m reminded of a certain man that has huge pythons and no-sells his opponent’s offense when “hulking up”.

2. Randy Orton only wanted Batista in Legacy just so he could kick out the weak links (i.e. Rhodes & DiBiase).

3. Since Santina Marella is a lesbian, does that make Santino Marella straight?

4. Who would win a match that contains Awesome Kong and Beth Phoenix? Talk about the irresistible force meeting the immovable object. Oh wait, that was Andre/Hogan; Cena/Show; Brock/Goldberg.

5. William Regal and Matt Hardy should call themselves “Disenfranchised”, since Regal hates people leaping over him and taking his spot and Hardy hates wrestling with a broken arm.

6. As the Legacy Turns: DiBiase gets taken out by Batista. Batista also locks Cody up inside a closet.

7. Randy Orton walking slowly, as if he just **** himself, was the best Orton impression on RAW tonight.

8. Randy Orton must have enrolled in the Hulk Hogan & John Cena school of No-Sells and Cheap Heat.

9. If Metzler was right about RAW being the storyline heavy show, I’ll have to change my grading scale from A-F to G/B – Good or Bad.

10. Finally, because it deserves a mention. Since when does “no contact with a foreign object” gets ruled a DQ? Sometimes the referee calls it, other times, they ignore it. That finish would have been a thousand times better if Cody was playing dead and Batista getting caught – a la Eddie Guerrero.

Thanks to Iain Burnside for giving me the idea of writing this.
