411's WWE Raw Report 8.30.10
Posted by Ronnie LaFianza on 08.30.2010
The Nexus takes out the Undertaker and battles John Cena, Randy Orton, Chris Jericho, Edge and Sheamus in a tag team elimination match, LayCool makes a proposal to Melina she can't refuse, CM Punk continues to be awesome and more! Check out 411’s WWE Raw report for all the details!
So there's still confusion with the Hogan/Vince Heads, so to help clear things up, here's how I use them as a rankings system.
1 Head = Bad
2 Heads = Average
3 Heads = Good
4 Heads = Great
5 Heads = Best. Match. EVAR!!!
Yeah, they're kind of similar to star ratings, but kind of different too. Like say if there's a squash match, I'd probably give it 2 Heads instead of 1 whether or not it accomplishes its goal of putting a wrestler over. So now that we've got that out of the way, let's get started with the 900th Motha F'N Edition of Monday Night Raw...
I probably should be at this show too since it's in my homestate, but I felt obligated to continue reporting to all of you. So lets get to it.
-And we kick things off with a video package highlighting Raw through the years. It's a feat so monumental it's never been done before. Stone Cold's beer bath. Jericho's debut. Show throwing Mayweather. The Game's return in 2002. 900 episodes. It's record breaking dammit. We then cut to the normal Raw opening video package (for those of you wondering, there's no new WWE symbol or anything). Coleslaw and Lawler welcome us in, hyping up the evening. Tonight we'll see Cena, Sheamus, Jericho, Edge and Orton face The Nexus in an elimination tag team match.
-And we're kicking things off with an appearance from Bret Hart. Hart says hello to Boston. 17 years ago a new show debuted called Monday Night Raw. He confesses that even back then he wondered if Raw would catch on, but thanks to the fans, 900 episodes later it looks to be doing pretty damn good. In fact, Raw has the most shows in the history of prime time television. Since the very beginning. There was only one other wrestler whose still here who was there back then. And that's the Undertaker. So he thought it might be appropriate... and here comes Kane.
Kane says there is no Undertaker anymore. Thanks to him physically decimating him and leaving him to rot in a vegetative state, Undertaker is a phenom no longer. He's not phenomenal in any way. He's just a man. A man that Bret once knew. He's like Bret. Weak, feeble, straggly, over the hill, irreversibly damaged. His brother ended the career of Shawn Michaels. Bret must have loved that. A man Bret seemingly made amends with but really demised seen laid to rest. Bret says he's going to love it when Undertaker gets his hands on Kane and beats him like he always does. Kane says the only thing he's only ever wanted was to break out of Taker's shadow and to prove he's the best. The Undertaker took out an icon in Shawn Michaels, that means Kane needs to do the same. He needs to take out an icon of his own. He needs to take out you. Kane goozles Bret. And here comes the Hart Dynasty, but Kane attacks them first. Bret starts fighting back but to no avail. Lights out bitch. They're back on, and Taker's in the ring. He and Kane stare down. Kane starts laughing and bails out. Kane says not yet. Coleslaw's got an email. Cole says he's seen this iconic moments taking place. The GM has decided to make Bret Hart vs the Undertaker. What? The crowd really doesn't know what to think of that. Taker stares at Bret as Bret leaves the ring. Lawler says this is going to be awesome.
-We're shown highlights from the first episode of Raw.
-Did you know that Raw has aired more episodes than Survivor, Amazing Race and American Idol COMBINED? Also, does anyone care?
-We're shown highlights of Austin driving the Zamboni into the arena and taking out Mr. McMahon.
Match 1: Michael McGillicutty and Kofi Kingston vs Kaval and Daniel Bryan vs Alex Riley and WWE United States Champion/Mr. Money in the Bank The Miz - Triple Threat Tag Team match
Riley and Kofi and Bryan start off. Riley takes out Bryan. Kick by Kofi to Bryan. Bryan with a kick to Kofi and he slaps Miz. Bryan with forearm shots to Riley. And now kicks in the corner. SOS to Bryan by Kofi. Pin but Riley breaks it up. Sitout scoop slam to Kofi. Pin but only two. Knee lift by Bryan to Riley. Kofi gets back in control. Boom Drop to Riley. Pin but Bryan breaks it up. Kofi ducks a clothesline and both guys crossbody each other. Kaval and Michael get the tags. Michael in control. Dragon Sleeper out of a head scissors by Kaval. Riley breaks it up. Miz gets the blind tag. Kaval with a huge dropkick to Riley. Michael rolls up Kaval but only gets two. Kaval with a rolling Liger kick. He heads up to the top. Warriors Way connects. Miz runs in and hits Kaval with the Skull Crushing Finale. Forget about it.
Winners: The Miz and Alex Riley (Short but pretty entertaining. Still, the team of Bryan and Kaval was pretty random, but I'm not gonna complain. Still, this was a nice way to get the NXT guys some air time, but it could have used some more time)
Bryan takes out Riley with a kick to the head. Miz runs in and clocks Bryan with the briefcase. Miz and Riley celebrate their win as they walk off.
-Later tonight, Bret Hart and the Undertaker will face off. Also, the 5 on 5 Tag Team Elimination match is still yet to come.
-WWE Slam of the Week, presented by Mafia 2, is Melina defeating Jillian Hall last week, only for LayCool to announce their appearance on Raw next week (which would be now).
Match 2: Co-Women's Champions Team LayCool vs Eve Torres and Diva's Champion Melina
Michelle and Melina start off. Forearm shots by Melina. Michelle with a belly to belly. Pin but only two. Layla gets the tag and slams Melina's face into the mat. Layla now taunting Melina. Melina pushes Layla into Michelle. Roll up and it's over?
Winners: Melina and Eve (Uh... whatever)
Michelle and Layla grab mics. Michelle says the victory was a lot like her. Completely forgetable. Layla says Melina's gonna cry. They need to find out who the real champ is in the WWE. So, they're challenging Melina to a unification match at Night of Champions. One of them will face Melina. And when they win, they unify the titles. Yay. Melina says she had a feeling they were going to propose something like that, and she came prepared. She accepts, but it'll be a lumberjack match. LayCool agrees, and no one cares. All the Diva's show up on the stage.
-We get highlights of the epic NXT rookie attack on Cena.
-The Nexus is in the back. Tarver says because they kicked out Young and Sheffield is injured, they're low in numbers. Barrett says they're going to be 5 of the biggest superstars in WWE history. They need to do something tonight unforgettable. And Barrett knows exactly what that is.
-WWE.com is looking back at the 900 episodes of Raw, if you actually care.
-We're shown highlights from the Price is Raw.
-Matthews is in the back with Jericho. Jericho asks if when he says he's the best in the world, do you think he says it as a gimmick. He says it because it's true. But people don't believe that to be the case. Chris had an epiphany. He knows he's the greatest, and if he doesn't win the WWE Championship at Night of Champions, that's it. That's the last we'll see of him in the WWE. Do you think he's joking? Do you wanna see how much confidence he has? He's going to prove tonight that he's the best in the world at what he does.
Match 3: John Morrison and R-Truth vs "Dashing" Cody Rhodes and Drew McIntyre - Number One Contenders match to WWE Tag Team Championship
Rhodes' jacket has a mirror on the back of it. Tremendous. Coleslaw says this match will be a slobber knocker. Truth and Rhodes start things off. Rhodes with a kick to the gut, runs off the ropes but gets hit with a hip toss. Rhodes knocks Morrison off the apron, and Truth goes on the attack. All four guys are in the ring now and it's madness. The ref rings the bell and this just won't stop.
Winner: No Contest (This was pretty random and overall served no purpose)
Truth dives over the top and takes out Rhodes. Big boot by McIntyre to Morrison. Morrison slides out of a powerslam attempt and dropkicks McIntyre in the back. Truth and Morrison walk off with Truth's music playing
-Bret Hart will face Undertaker next.
-Did You Know, Jersey Shore will reach it's 900th episode in 2083, and Snooki will be 83 years (or was it 93? I don't feel like looking it up) old at that time. I'm actually more curious as to who in the fuck thought that was interesting.
-We're shown highlights of the January 4th episode of Raw, where Shawn and Bret made amends.
Match 4: Bret Hart vs Undertaker
Both guys get ready to go, but here comes Wade Barrett. He says this match is not going to happen. People don't want to talk about two legends, they want to talk about the future, and the future is Nexus. He said he was going to do something unforgettable. And he's going to do that by taking out Taker. He runs in and attacks Taker. Big mistake. Big boot by Taker. Taker clotheslines him over the top. Lights out. They come back on and Kane is in the ring. Both guys trade rights now. Kane with the upper hand. Goozle by Taker, and the lights have gone back out. They're back on, and Kane is gone. And here comes the Nexus. They surround the ring. Taker goes after Tarver and the rest of them. Taker's in control. He goozles Barrett, but the lights have gone back out again. They turn back on, and Barrett has Taker on his shoulders. Wasteland by Barrett. Kane stands on the ramp watching on. They position Taker in the corner. Gabriel to the top. 450! Taker tries to sit up, but can't. Kane laughs at the top of the ramp as we head to commercial.
-We get a recap of the events that just occurred.
-And here comes Jack Swagger. All hail a returning, conquering, all American hero. When he left Raw, he was an all American American. Now he returns a former world champion. He can understand why Johnny Damon wouldn't want to come back to Boston, but he has no problem being a little swagger back to Raw. And here comes Evan Bourne.
Match 4: Jack Swagger vs Evan Bourne
Kick by Swagger, and he goes on the attack with clubbing blows. Swagger throws Bourne into the turnbuckle. Kick to the leg by Bourne, and some more. But here comes Albert Del Rio. In the limo. He's beeping the horn like crazy. His announcer introduces him. The match is still going on though. Old school Randy Orton like pyro goes off on the stage. Swagger shoulder blocking Bourne in the corner. Bourne goes for the running powerslam, but Bourne slides out the back. Spin kick by Bourne. He heads up to the top. AIR BOURNE MISSES! Swagger chop blocks the leg. Ankle Lock applied. Bourne has no choice but to tap.
Winner: Jack Swagger (Really unncessary, but it did give Swagger a win while getting Rio some on screen air time on Raw, so it did accomplish some stuff. Still, there was literally nothing to the match other than the angle)
Alberto Del Rio introduces himself. He says next to me, the little kiwaya Rey Mysterio isn't going to be here tonight. In fact, the only place you can see Rey is in the hospital. What he did to Rey last weekk as phenomenal. Incredible. He's going to be honest though, he's not completely happy. The audience from Raw didn't see it though. So this is what he's going to do. He's going to recreate that magic moment, just for us. Right here, right now, but with a different kiwaya. He grabs a chair and runs into the ring. He puts Bourne in the juji gatame. Bourne starts tapping like a mad man. Rio releases the hold and kicks Bourne in the back. He brings the chair to the outside with Bourne. He locks Bourne's arm in the chair, and here comes Mark Henry to the rescue. Rio goes to hit Henry with the chair, but Henry runs right through it. Rio runs back up the ramp.
-Coleslaw and Lawler talk about their recent tour of China. We get a video package highlighting the events.
-THIS IS YOUR LIFE!! Best segment ever.
-And we're going to continue that awesomeness with CM Punk and the Straight Edge Society. It's really not the same without Serena though. Punk asks if we know who he's better than. The Rock. He doesn't drink, he doesn't smoke and he doesn't make crappy movies like The Tooth Fairy. Do you people like The Rock? Do you people miss The Rock on Monday Night Raw? CM Punk doesn't miss the Rock. It's because The Rock epitomizes this septic tank of a show that is Monday Night Raw. 900 shows is a milestone, but for 900 shows Raw has promoted poor family values. He's got two words for us. Katie Vick. YES! And if you don't get it, that's fine, but youtube it and it will drive yout to drink and then see CM Punk and he'll save us. Punk here to show us some of the most atrocious acts by Raw superstars. Exhibit A: Property damage. We see Triple H invading Orton's home and beating the shit out of him. People acting like animals. Exhibit B: Irresponisble and Reckless Behavior. We see Cena throwing Edge into the Long Island Sound. Punk for one would never throw another competitor into any body of water (coughChavo Guerrero). Exhibit C: Trespassing. DX invading WCW. And last but not least, Exhibit D: Dumb, excessive use of alcohol via fire hose. Yeah, I think you all know what this one is. Punk can't find the words to describe that. He says we would all lie and empty our pockets to see Stone Cold walk down the ramp and spray CM Punk with beer via a fire hose. That's the kind of GLASS SHATTERS MOTHERFUCKER!
But there's no one there. Punk starts laughing on the ground. Did you fall for it? Are you dissapointed? Do you feel empty inside? Well good, because that's how dissapointed Punk feels when he sees each and every one of us. He's happy we're dissapointed. And he's going to show us one more clip and leave on a high note. This clip is from a good show, Smackdown. It's a clip of Lesnar superplexing Big Show through the ring. Punk says he can watch that clip over and over, because it represents everything he could never be. It represents being criminally obese, he doesn't know who the other guy was, but Big Show was so big... And here comes Show.
Punk says we get Austin's music and no Austin but get Big Show's music and instead get Captain Insano. Show said he lost some weight and then found it. If Show wants to embarass him, talk about something really embarasing, like Eddie Guerrero giving him that burrito that left him constipated for five days. Or the time he did the sum wrestling thing. If you really want to bring up something embarassing, video of him kissing Vickie Guerrero. Show loves to make people laugh, he does impersonations. Let Me Tell You Something Brother, They're Running Wild Brother, StraightEdge Society DUDE!! Punk says that was boring, that was not funny and no one likes you. Ha. Show raises his hand. He says that was mean. Punk says you want mean? There is nothing high about the Straight Edge Society, and that's what makes them better than you. Show says he's not high but just tall. Show takes out Punk and Gallows. Punk and Matthews bail out. Show clotheslines Gallows over the top as the SES backs off. For as terrible as this Raw's been, CM Punk just single handedly, with a little help from Big Show, saved it.
Words to live by.
-If I see one more "Did You Know" fact, I'm gonna go crazy. STOP TELLING US IT'S THE 900TH EPISODE. WE GET IT.
-We're shown highlights of Triple H's return in 2002, only to be interrupted by Kurt Angle.
-Josh Matthews welcomes the WWE Champion, Sheamus. And here he comes. Sheamus interrupts Matthews. He says after 900 episodes of Raw, everyone is here to celebrate, except Triple H. He's never coming back. How is it fair that he has to defend his title in a Six Pack at Night of Champions. We're all just a bunch of plastic pladdies. The only real Irishman here is Sheamus. And in spite of the Six Pack Challenge, he has to tag with four of his PPV opponents. One of which is Randy Orton, a man who tried to end his career. Never in the history of Raw a champion has never been treated more poorly (coughRey Mysterio). Here comes Edge. He says Sheamus was giving him a headache fella. Since Edge debuted on Raw, he's been thrown in the long island sound, deranged ex employees run at him through the crowd, been thrown through tables and everything, but he's given back three times as many. He's won 29 championships in the WWE. He's won the Royal Rumble, KOTR, and MITB. He's going to win the Six Pack Challenge. He's going to become the new WWE Champion. Edge heads down to the ring. Their match will start next.
Match 5: WWE Champion Sheamus, Edge, Chris Jericho, Randy Orton and John Cena vs The Nexus (Wade Barrett, David Otunga, Justin Gabriel, Michael Tarver and Heath Slater) - 5 on 5 Elimination Tag Team match
Jericho and Tarver start things off. Loud "Y2J" chant. Jericho bails out and walks to the back. The ref starts the count, and Jericho starts to second guess that decision. He goes to run back, but decides to leave anyways.
Eliminated: Chris Jericho via countout
Edge is now in. He shoves the ref and gets DQ'd.
Eliminated: Edge via disqualification
Cena's now in. Cena throws Tarver into the corner. Bulldog connects. Big right hands by Cena, and Sheamus gets the tag. Sheamus working down Tarver in the corner. Big short arm clothesline connects. Pin but only two. Slater gets the tag but runs into a clothesline. Suplex by Sheamus. Pin but only two. Sheamus with knee lifts in the corner. Sheamus brings Slater to the outside and hits him with a elbow to the throat. Back in the ring but only gets two on the pin. Otunga gets the tag. Headlock by Otunga. Sheamus pushes him off and no one gets pushes over on the shoulder block. Otunga poses but gets clotheslined. Big kick by Otunga but he gets drilled with an Irish Hammer. Otunga whips Sheamus hard into the corner. Mounted punches by Otunga. Slater gets the tag and starts stomping Sheamus. Gabriel gets the tag. Right hands by Gabriel, and here comes Barrett. Barrett works down Sheamus and tags in Slater. Bow and arrow submission applied by Slater. Sheamus fights back up but Sltaer goes for a backslide. Sheamus flips him over and goes for the High Cross, but Tarver pulls Slater down. Running forearm smash by Slater. Sheamus starts fighting back, but Gabriel drills him with a kick on the apron. Zig Zag by Slater.
Eliminated: Sheamus by Heath Slater
Cena's in and immediately rushes in for the 5 moves of doom on Slater. You Can't See Me. Five Knuckle Shuffle connects. Attitude Adjustment follows. Pin and he's out.
Eliminated: Heath Slater by John Cena
Barrett runs in and takes it to Cena. He throws Cena outside, and Nexus goes on the attack. Barrett takes Cena and throws him into the announce table. Back in the ring now as Barrett covers but only gets two. Gabriel gets the tag and hits Cena with a huge spin kick. Pin but only two. Gabriel with a splash in the corner. Pin but again only two. Otunga now in and goes on the attack. Suplex attempt countered into a suplex by Cena. Otunga takes out Orton before he can get the tag. Cena with a drop toe hold and locks in the STF. Otunga taps.
Eliminated: David Otunga by John Cena
Gabriel goes to the top and immediately hits Cena with a 450. He's out!
Eliminated: John Cena by Justin Gabriel
RKO to Gabriel!
Eliminated: Justin Gabriel by Randy Orton
RKO to Tarver!
Eliminated: Michael Tarver by Randy Orton
Wasteland by Barrett. It's over.
Eliminated: Randy Orton by Wade Barrett
Winners: The Nexus (Solid main event and a much needed win for Nexus. It wasn't anything epic, but it did a good job of putting over some members of the Nexus, such as Gabriel pinning Cena and Slater pinning Sheamus)
The commentary tonight was ATROCIOUS. I don't think I was ever as annoyed by Cole and King as I was tonight. And I'm talking about the abomination they had (along with Striker) at Mania.
Look someone tell Vince to STOP PIMPING the fuck out of the 900th episode. I understand it's a milestone but they're bragging about shit that's useless.
And then we had the single dumbest "Did You Know" ever that dealt with Jersey Shore. WHY?
Yes, I realize these are a small part of WWE but I couldn't finish Raw because of the crap coming out of King Cole's mouthes
Posted By: Guest#9927 (Guest) on August 30, 2010 at 11:30 PM
Heatless Main Event. Nexus will miss Sheffield's intensity. Otunga needs to step up.
It is a shame how Swagger has been fucking buried six feet under. He went from champ to a geek overnight. Alberto Del Rio should not be put over during his match. Swagger won but it meant nothing.
Posted By: ROH Commish (Guest) on August 30, 2010 at 11:33 PM
After watching the main event I'm wondering, why don't they give Slater and Gabriel the tag titles? Instead of having random singles wrestlers like that tag match they should try to build a decent tag division. It would also give the Nexus more credibility.
Posted By: Guest#5217 (Guest) on August 30, 2010 at 11:36 PM
its funny that VKMarks call anyone who supports real Pro Wrestling 'basement virgins' when there are clearly MORE VIRGINS that watch monday night Cena. the'E needs to put more focus on the sport & not the entertainment
Posted By: philburttheturtle (Guest) on August 30, 2010 at 11:37 PM
Kept looking at the clock during that main event...the ending seemed VERY rushed.
Posted By: Chris (Guest) on August 30, 2010 at 11:39 PM
I'm convinced that after tonight Cole and Lawler are the worst commentary team in the history of Monday Night Raw if not professional wrestling. As far as the show was concerned, the show was decent, but that's not saying much considering all the interruptions, video packages and 1-2 minute matches we had to sit through tonight.
Posted By: Dwayne (Guest) on August 30, 2010 at 11:40 PM
Now that Raw has reached 900 episodes, I will be awaiting the TNA trolls come out of the woodwork to talk about how "TNA will put WWE out of business" only to be proven wrong when Raw not only makes it to it's 1,000th episode, but makes it to another 900 episodes (1,800 in all) when TNA fails to put the WWE out of business.
Posted By: Guest#9202 (Guest) on August 30, 2010 at 11:44 PM
Three Vince heads for the main event? That was one of the most worthless matches I've seen in some time. It was SOOOOO slow, and they REALLY made Sheamus look like a bitch.
Posted By: HSK (Guest) on August 30, 2010 at 11:54 PM
Did the World Champion just job cleanly to Heath Slater? And Cena to Gabriel as well?
Even Randy "Invincible since the face turn" Orton ate a pinfall loss in that main event! Along with the beatdown of Taker earlier in the night also, WWE really put Nexus over strong tonight. So much for them being buried by that Summerslam loss. All it takes is a week or two of strong booking and fans will forget about ANY loss.
Posted By: Guest#0155 (Guest) on August 30, 2010 at 11:56 PM
I dont even think Hulk Hogan could have saved this abortion of a show.
I seen the previews to the Cena movie. I hope Cena is a cab driver who refuses to pick up Danny Glover. After hours of taunting he finally picks him up, and drives him over a cliff.
Posted By: MTL (Guest) on August 30, 2010 at 11:57 PM
disappointed Vince didn't come out at some point just to thank everyone for making it to 900 episodes
Posted By: Guest#5096 (Guest) on August 31, 2010 at 12:01 AM
1st time in a while I hated everything on Raw... for the 900th episode we get non-finishes to matches & drawn out promos... you think they would do something, ANYTHING special... but we got the worst show they've dumped out since 4 months ago (& that was a long, horrible run...) that live crowd must have been extremely bored or extremely pissed...
I love WWE & all but I dig Smackdown, Superstars & NXT (and WWECW) ... Raw was always the Cena or HHH show, so I never really cared or held interest in what that show did, but I do always hold out hope for something great (Big-name tag-champs, the Nexus debut) but we have the Hart-Who-evers gettin beat up like jobbers & Nexus sayin' "oh, Skip broke his ankle"... what happened to 'old school' writing to explain the enforcer's absence? ....
Bad Raw, BAD!! We dump OUTSIDE!! not on viewers TVs! dump outside!!!
& I'm not trollin', I like WWE
Posted By: theHomewrecker! (Guest) on August 31, 2010 at 12:02 AM
So glad they put the focus back on Nexus tonight and didn't turn this into a glorified nostalgia anniversary show.
Posted By: Guest#8594 (Guest) on August 31, 2010 at 12:02 AM
"And then we had the single dumbest "Did You Know" ever that dealt with Jersey Shore."
The only thing worse than that is the fact that this was mentioned twice. Before the "Did You Know?" segment, Jerry Lawler said this Jersey Shore bit almost word for word.

Undertaker's pop tonight was pretty impressive. Fans still love the Deadman.

Dear WWE:
There have been 13,846 episodes of "As the world turns".
Now see that funny feeling you have in your stomach?
Thats called not giving a fuck.
Its the feeling your audience gets when you mention how long you've been on the air every two minutes.
Posted By: Poi (Guest) on August 31, 2010 at 12:09 AM
For once TNA can honestly say that they had a better show than raw. I dont care if they have hogan, nash & angle come out and do a 1000 piece jig-saw puzzle together in the ring. It would be more entertaining than this "SPECIAL" edition of raw.

I disagree, I think people are growing tired of the dead man gimmick.
for his last few years he should change it around a bit.
Maybe a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu martial artist or an angry chef like the guy on the tv.
Posted By: Guest#1962 (Guest) on August 31, 2010 at 12:18 AM
Hey Poi, they said "primetime shows", dummy.
Kudos to Cena for doing the age-old J-O-B in the hometown.
Del Rio split the back of his pants while beating down Bourne.
ENOUGH of the lights out bullshit. So annoying.

i thought when the big show started doing his hogan impression, that hogan may actually show. i think that may have been enough to change everone's mind about this show.
if dixie's smart she will sign him to a lifetime deal. whatever she needs to do. i dont care if they decide to call it. Terry's Nonstop Action (TNA) or HULK HOGAN PRESENTS tna wrestling. im scared if he leaves wwe will be the show in town.
Posted By: Vic Tomato (Guest) on August 31, 2010 at 12:22 AM
I think they should replace Skip with Zip Sheffield. BTW, didn't the last Skip break his ankle too?
Posted By: Jay (Guest) on August 31, 2010 at 12:24 AM
Let's make fun of the current UFC champion on RAW. I know, let's show a SMACKDOWN clip. That way, we not only look petty, but also stupid.

I couldn't believe cena got pinned that's 2 losses in a row I would of been mad if he kicked out the 450 cause knowing super cena I almost expected it randy only lost cause he's hurt he will rko everyone at night of champions in my hometown Chicago :-)

What a totally washed has been 56 years old who can barely walk without breaking his hip and looks as powerful and dominant in the ring now as a little cockroach, an egomaniac who keeps delivering unspirationnal and dull promos every two weeks while enjoying his huge paycheck every day of the year, should get a "deal for life" ?
NEWSFLASH : TNA will be dead long before that.
REALITY CHECK : the WWE is ALREADY The KING in TOWN and the ONLY ONE.
Man gotta love those TNA Marks living in their fantasy world.

Pure crap. Can someone teach Wade whatever his name is to speak. He sounds like he has a mouth full of crap. None of the nxt assholes should not even be in the ring. The shitstick that broke his leg was nothing but a wanna be Stan Hansen with A Triple H steroid problem. I am really bored with Jerico and Edge walking away. The worst part in Michael Cole. You asshole announcer need to stop talking when there is a match in progress or a cool entrance. Hey Asscole-People like R Truth.I was waiting for King to put a fist in your mouth. The new Hispanic wrestler killed the crowd. I would rather watch the match then this bullshit. Yes TNA has problems but the WWE is starting to catch up in the race to the bottom. oh asscole. I have seen your reporting in Bosnia (or whatever). Every clip I have seen you look ready to shit your pants. To put it bluntly FUCK YOU ASSCOLE.

Heatless Main Event. Nexus will miss Sheffield's intensity. Otunga needs to step up.
I completely disagree with this. Otunga just needs to GO AWAY. He is the boyfriend of a second-rate celebrity, and can't do shit in the ring. OTUNGA, YOU'RE FIRED!!!!!

Please put Punk over Show. Show can't have much left in the tank whereas Punk is gold and the future of the WWE.
Posted By: Oh! Lymping Hero (Guest) on August 31, 2010 at 01:10 AM
CM Punk didn't have anything substantial to complain about so the segment could be skipped.
That main event was only two Vince McMahon heads IMO. The ending was rushed, Jericho and Edge left predictably, and no one made any saves (time constraints, but still). The only surprise was that Cena was actually pinned.

Now that Raw has reached 900 episodes, I will be awaiting the TNA trolls come out of the woodwork to talk about how "TNA will put WWE out of business" only to be proven wrong when Raw not only makes it to it's 1,000th episode, but makes it to another 900 episodes (1,800 in all) when TNA fails to put the WWE out of business.
Posted By: Guest#9202 (Guest) on August 30, 2010 at 11:44 PM
Why do people make comments like this? Prior to this comment, no one mentioned that TNA was going to put the WWE out of business.
TNA was weak last week, Raw was weak this week. We need a new company to teach them both how to be entertaining.
Posted By: Guest#5939 (Guest) on August 31, 2010 at 01:26 AM
wow the best part of the 900th raw was with two smackdown wrestlers. punk was great on the mic and i never thought i would hear katie vick mentioned by wwe ever again. show doing impressions reminded me of his feud with angle and he did showkishi, the showster, and fat bastard. did you know: smackdown is moving to syfy on october 1st. this will be their second night and third network in a little over 10 years

People complain about SuperCena alot but the Undertaker was singlehandedly burying 5 members of neXus before Kane stepped in to help him.

Cena wins at the big PPV, and Nexus looks dominant weeks later in front of millions, instead of a couple hundred thousand at SummerSlam. Smart move.
As usual, all the "Nexus is dead" whiners look like idiots, but hey! What did you really expect? The internet to think logically? Ha!

For once TNA can honestly say that they had a better show than raw. I dont care if they have hogan, nash & angle come out and do a 1000 piece jig-saw puzzle together in the ring. It would be more entertaining than this "SPECIAL" edition of raw.
Posted By: Zaxxon (Guest) on August 31, 2010 at 12:14 AM

the muppet reference was funny, but didn't work that well since edge just kind of quit talking and went to the ring. i like how they referred to cena as the franchise and then he lost in the main event. now we know how wwe announces retirements: you get a dvd retrospect of your career and then retire a few weeks before or after its release. first hbk and now y2j.

Does anyone really think Heath Slater has any future in wrestling? Really?
And it's sad that WWE make it so explicit they're catering to 10-year-olds with the constant booking of Bret Hart in matches that anyone whose balls have dropped know won't happen.
Everything good about this show - and there was little - came from Smackdown stars. Y'know, the wrasslin' show not booked around ratings...

Posted By: Steve (Guest) on August 31, 2010 at 03:43 AM
Tonight really showcased the differences between TNA and WWE to me with this "special edition of RAW" and it wasn't pretty.
For one, there were no guest appearances whatsoever. We didn't see most of the guys we should have: JR, HBK, Damien Demento cameo, Austin, even VINCE could at least have come out to thank everybody as one poster said. See, screw the cast of Going the Distance, people WANT to see certain guest stars - WRESTLERS.. or FORMER wrestlers, or FORMER wrestling announcers that are still very over.
The loudest pop I heard of the night was Austin's music hitting, followed by Orton's entrance. Everything else the fans looked absolutely bored by.
For a special show where the hell was half of RAW? No Dibiase, no Santino/Kozlov, no Goldust (who debuted on RAW in 1995, that's 15 years ago), just a bunch of worthless matches.
Speaking of the matches take a look - first, the tag match ends up with Morrison and Truth battling to a double DQ with Cody and Drew for no reason whatsoever. Following that, a non-match with UT/Bret so Nexus could attack a "vegetable" Undertaker. Finally, the Swagger-Bourne match you couldn't even see with the split screen hyping Del Rio DURING THE DAMN MATCH. Talk about making Bourne and Swagger look like shit.
The only redeeming value was Nexus won the main event.. but they won because two guys walked out. However, the impressive part was that Slater pinned the WWE champion clean, Gabriel pinned Cena clean, and Barrett pinned Orton clean to win the match, even if the end was basically finisher-pin, repeat 3 times. At least now Nexus looks like more of a threat then they did when they lost two of their guys from injury and kayfabe attacks.
Overall? Shitty RAW. CM Punk was fun to watch as usual but honestly, for me, it wasn't enough to save it. They wouldn't shut up about how it was the 900th episode, or about Jersey Shore for some goddamn reason, or bragging about all the shows they outlasted.. guys, we're tuning in. You did your job, now shut up and give us something to keep tuning in to. The fact JR and King didn't broadcast the main event is bullshit, too.
I'm glad I became a TNA fan in December. Yeah, they have their problems, but at least if they had a 900th episode celebration they'd have brought as many former employees back as possible that people wanted to see. Big difference - TNA gives the fans what they ask for (most of the time) while WWE gives them what Vince wants them to want.

The commentary tonight was ATROCIOUS. I don't think I was ever as annoyed by Cole and King as I was tonight. And I'm talking about the abomination they had (along with Striker) at Mania.
Look someone tell Vince to STOP PIMPING the fuck out of the 900th episode. I understand it's a milestone but they're bragging about shit that's useless.
And then we had the single dumbest "Did You Know" ever that dealt with Jersey Shore. WHY?
Yes, I realize these are a small part of WWE but I couldn't finish Raw because of the crap coming out of King Cole's mouthes
I agree especially the Monday Night Football comment, having more episodes than that??? MNF IS 18 WEEKS AT MOST!! How would you compare that to something that is on EVERY week, how lame.

Randy Orton, former world champion and established main-eventer, stands on the apron for ten minutes conserving energy, then jumps in and scores two quick wins before being hit by the weakest looking 'finisher' in the history of wrestling and drops a clean pin in the centre of the ring. Wade Barratt beats a fresh Randy Orton with one move. Is anyone else buying this crap?? This show absolutely blew from start to finish.

Exactly. Most of the time a guy like Randy orton will fight through a match for ten minutes taking various finishers and still kick out. There was no way that Wade would have believably scored the pinfall with that one move and sheamus, the WWE CHAMPION, was made to look weak, very very weak. This was the worst episode of RAW for probably the whole year!
Why would you tease an appearance of Stone Cold and not deliver. I don't even want to watch Raw anymore just because of this episode. It was the 900th episode but last weeks edition was better. If every installment of Raw was this bad WWE would never have made it to the 900th edition of Raw.
Oh, and its official. John Morrison is now the Marty Jennetty to Miz' Shawn Michaels. He was so sloppy in the ring last night. He was tripping all over the place. He probably has the five'o clock shadow cause he's boozin.
When they showed Triple H's return in 2002 followed by Sheamus mentioning him in his promo, I really thought that Triple H would return last night. When Sheamus was the first to get pinned in the main event i knew Triple H would'nt be returning. He will most likely come back on the RAW after NoC and mark my words he will be so juiced up that John Cena will look like Edge in comparison.

For a 900th episode this fell flat. Felt boring and like they tried to cram too much in there.
That Nexus beatdown on UT was ridiculus. I think they tried to go for "Kane has mystical powers" but it just looked silly and came across as confusing on TV.
Punk was awesome but I found Show was cheesy and tried too hard to be funny. "I don't know who the other guy was..."
Barrett winning was a nice push for Nexus and Orton looked like a million bucks as usual, but you could tell he was injured.

Was it really necessary for Edge to add "here in the WWE" when he said he won 29 championships? We know in what promotion he won those championships and we know that it's called WWE. As opposed to when he was a jobber in WCW and didn't win any titles? Thanks for the clarification, Edge. We thought you had won those championships in another promotion. Awesome.
Posted By: Chico (Guest) on August 31, 2010 at 01:35 PM
If they really want to put Nexus over, they'll let Barrett start doing a standard piledriver as his finisher instead of that Wasteland crap. Cole & Lawler (especially Lawler) can put it over as a banned maneuver. Let Barrett take out guys like Daniel Bryan and Evan Bourne with it, and have the faces do stretcher jobs to re-establish how dangerous a move it is.

Posted By: pjl32 (Guest) on August 31, 2010 at 08:19 PM
I havent read any comments yet but will.
Show in terms of wrrestling was horrible. I would hve thought that for a 900th episode that they seemed to have promoted as something special they might have had a little more going.
crowd was great but that is boston for you, a horrid product and they still cheered.
And is it just me or was the vast majority of ythe show guys from smackdown going over and doing stuff on RAW? Now dont get me wrong that was basically the best part of the show. CM Punk is now pretty much the best thing going for WWE. I wish we had heard some chants for the chick WWE just fired, but his promo was very good. Big show wadded what ehe added.
So in terms of entertainment it at least did that. But it ook SD guys on RAW to do it.
Nexus is a sham, and the injury has definitely made them scramble, I mean it is so bad that the undertaker actually took a bump form them and actually stayed down, so you know they have to be feeling some pressure with them.
And not a single past star or wrestler made an appearance, the biggest guy was the undertaker and he was there seemingly just to try and put nexus over.
So not a great show. Good for promos and talking and the usual smoke and mirrors that vince puts on but in terms of in ring action it sucked. Even the beat downs outside of and around the ring were soft.
So I was pretty disappointed in most of it. But it does show one thing, the guys on SD are definitely the guys that should be on RAW and the should be shipping the guys on RAW all over to SD.
