10 Thoughts on RAW – 11.23.2009

Reviews, Shows, TV Shows

Tonight is a 3 hour Thanksgiving extravaganza on RAW.  Here are my 15 thoughts on the show!

 

  1. Jesse Ventura totally called out the WWE and stated that it’s been too many of the same people fighting for the belt week in and week out.  Ventura rules.
  2. This “Breakthrough Battle Royal” is a great idea, but it’s a little too convoluted.  Can’t we just have a tournament instead of a bunch of qualifying matches leading up to a battle royal?
  3. Kofi Kingston’s music doesn’t fit his character anymore.  It needs to be changed.
  4. Sheamus is the palest man on the face of the earth.
  5. I hated Hulk Hogan.  I hate version 2.0 (John Cena) even more.
  6. Cena beat CM Punk the same way he beat Bobby Lashley a couple of years back (FU off the second rope).  That was supposed to be a match between two future industry giants.  Worked out well, didn’t it?
  7. Vince McMahon and Jesse Ventura on the mic is the best idea in the world.  Ventura is officially the best guest host ever.  EVER.
  8. DX going to “little people court” next week could be a disaster and it could be hilarious.  Triple H saying “that’s short notice” made me laugh out loud.  (Proving once again why my sense of humor puts me in the “wrestling fan” category)
  9. I was just wondering where Maryse was and all of a sudden she was in the Gobbledy Gooker costume.  Weird.
  10. It was great to see the Hart Dynasty on RAW.  I hope they come over in the next draft.  With DX, JeriShow, Hart Dynasty, Cryme Tyme, etc. the tag team division is the deepest it’s been in a very long time.
  11. DX vs. JeriShow in a TLC is going to be AWESOME.
  12. Kane vs. Batista will not be.
  13. Seeing McMahon and Ventura at the announce table brought back a lot of memories.
  14. I’m pretty shocked Sheamus won the Breakthrough Battle Royal.  Your RAW PPV match is John Cena vs. Sheamus.  What do you think of that?  Post!
  15. That was the lamest contract signing ever.  Ventura’s turn on Cena was good but it couldn’t save an otherwise boring segment.

 

Well, those are my extended thoughts for the week.  See you next week kids.
