RAW RESULTS 2.16.09

Wow! What an episode! Raw ended on a high note with Triple H running out to Stephanie's rescue (a little too late for that, I might add) and hyping up a possible feud with Randy Orton. To be honest with you, I thought that Stephanie was on the phone with Vince earlier, leading me to believe that he was going to return to Raw again. However, I was wrong. Apparently Triple H and Stephanie have rekindled their relationship off-camera. Yes, I know that they have real marriage behind the scenes. Their relationship on-camera took me by suprise, but it is a pleasent surprise. I am glad that Triple H and Stephanie are back together again, because I have always thought they made a great duo.

Although, I thought it was kinda funny that Triple H was hovering over Stephanie's body, holding her hand, and getting very upset. It was only a few years ago that Triple H pedigreed his own wife, Stephanie:






Anyway, let's go through the show rundown.


Edge and his beautiful wife Vickie Guerrero open the show. It was unusual seeing them on Raw, since we usually see them on Smackdown. The World Heavyweight Championship rested on his broad shoulders as he proudly ragged on his special accomplishment of competing in two eliminatin chamber matches. Edge asks if we want to know what the R in Rated R Superstar stands for. He says it stands for remarkable, resplendent or really, really smart. Ha! Ha!

Cena Comes out and congradulates Edge for his win. Cena says the R does stands for many things. Remarkable, Really really lucky, right place right time, and Cena's favorite; rematch. Ha! Ha! Ha! Right back at ya Edge! They continue to set up a promo to fuel a rivalry. Edge vs. Cena pt II, Please!



Matches:

• William Regal, Cody Rhodes, & Ted Dibiase (w. Layla) defeat Cryme Tyme and CM Punk


• Kane defeats Jamie Noble


• Rey Mysterio defeats Mike Knox


• WWE Women's Championship: Melina defeats Beth Phoenix (w. Santino Marella & Rosa Mendes)


• Unsanctioned Street Fight: Randy Orton defeats Shane McMahon

I would have liked to see more of the actual wrestling and less of the theatrics and promo talk. Overall, it was a very entertaining show. Raw ended on a high note and I can't wait to see what happens next week.

WWE SMACKDOWN RESULTS 11.21.2008

• Shelton Benjamin and Mark Henry w/ Tony Atlas VS. Matt Hardy and R-Truth.
  
  
  

  Notes: What's up with Tony Atlas and his sleeveless shirts? Were his guns too big for those sleeves? It's like he's trying to look like the incredible hulk!
  

  
  

  I'm really glad that R-Truth didn't come out singing Kung-Funaki. Thank God!
  

Matt Hardy and R-Truth Win.

Poor Eve! Triple H does great promos, but this one left me shaking my head. Triple H was staring at Eve in the beginning of the interview. He made comments like "are they real?", "they're perfectly shaped and round", and "can I touch them?" which is supposed to lead us to believe he was referring to her breasts. Instead he held up her pearl necklace and went on about how fabulous they were. I guess this little interaction was supposed to have a comic effect, but it failed to bring laughs. I didn't see much of a point in it. Enter Kozlov who uttered in a heavily Russian accent "Goodbye King of the Kings." Every time I see him open his mouth, I keep thinking he'll say "I must break you!"

• Miz and Morrison VS. Jesse and Festus
  
  
  

  Notes: Finally someone figured out that ringing the bell could work in their advantage. Morrison grabbed the bell and rang it, sending Festus to la la land. Miz hit the Drive By for the win.
  

Miz and Morrison win.

• Jeff Hardy VS. Triple H
  
  
  

  Notes: Great Match! 15 minutes in total, but very exciting.
  

  
  

  Jeff Hardy really overdoes his makeup! I used to think that the hair was too much, but now I think he really wants to get techni-color on us with the extra makeup.
  

  
  

  Triple H shake's Jeff Hardy's hand at the end of the match. Dammit! When is the old Triple H coming back? He would have taken a sledge hammer to his head!
  

Jeff Hardy Wins.

• The Brian Kendrick and Ezekiel Jackson VS. Primo and Carlito
  
  
  

  Notes: Those jackets are really getting to me. The Brian Kendrick really likes the Bedazzler!
  

The Brian Kendrick and Ezekiel Jackson win.

• MVP VS. Some guy named James Mason
  
  
  

  Notes: As JR reminded us, this was MVP's last match before Survivor Series and he had to win or return his signing bonus. It must suck to not only lose your signing bonus, but to lose to some guy names James Mason in under two minutes.
  

  
  

  Khali comes out and roams around like the giant that he is. He distracts MVP which allows James Mason to roll up on him and make a pin.
  

Some guy named James Mason wins. Most Valuable Player my ass!

• Brie and Nikki Bella VS. Natalya and Victoria
  
  
  

  Notes: A short four minute match.
  

  
  

  The highlight of that match is when Brie bitch slapped Natalya. I'm guessing they don't like each other. The Twins did a switcheroo and rolled up on Victoria for the three count…sooo is this going to be gimmick now?
  

Brie and Nikki Bella win.

The Undertaker gives the last rites for the Big Show:

Or should I saw Big Slow! With the casket in the middle of the ring, The Undertaker came out all dramatic and said that the Show's sins would be paid for. Big Show comes out with the Guerrero's at ringside. Show said he wasn't afraid of Taker talked about the power of his hand. Taker opened the casket and took a step towards them when all of the sudden the lights went off as the bell tolled. The lights came back on and Taker had Vickie by the throat which didn't stop her from screaming like a banshee.

Taker picked her up and placed her in the casket and closed it. I thought it was really funny when Chavo ordered Show in to save her. Show looked afraid and like didn't know what to do. Oh Big Slow! You're a wrestler right! You're supposed to run in and save her. Show threw Chavo in the ring. Taker beat on Chavo in the corner and Show jumped in the ring and saved Vickie. Taker Tombstoned Chavo and put him in the casket and closed the lid.

I am praying for Shawn for a speedy recovery. Unforgiven is this Sunday!!!

Notes:
- Randy Orton made quite the entrance in his hometown of St. Louis with his sling supporting his arm, reminding all of us that he is out three more months due to injury from a motorcycle accident. Some people don’t like Randy Orton. I like him because he makes a great heal and he has great abs. :)
The usual business of a heel is to due some trash talking. Randy delivered. He said that Raw was an absolute joke without him. He named some names like Beth Phoenix, Santino Marella, and CM Punk and implying that they were the people making WWE Raw one big joke. CM Punk walks into the ring to a big pop from audience and reminds Randy that while he isn’t the conventional champion, at least he isn’t the pathetic one standing in the middle of the ring with a sling around his arm.
Randy leaves and JBL enters the ring yelling at Punk for blah blah blah….I think you know JBL well enough to know what he is pissed about.
Kane and Batista roll out and a little brawl breaks out maybe as a preview of the battle royal that would take place later on.
Overall, Raw kicked of to an exciting start. It was nice to see Randy Orton after a long hiatus and I am sorry that we won’t be seeing him for awhile. On the other hand, I loved seeing more of CM Punk!!! :)
- What is up with Charlie Haas? The poor guy can’t even get his own gimmick, he has to borrow from Carlito and John Cena to get onto TV. I don’t know where this angle is going. I feel bad for this guy. He comes out pretending to be somebody else and then gets his but kicked. I have a feeling that he will be released soon, since the creative team cannot use him in a resourceful way.
- I thought that Randy Orton bitch slapping Cody Rhodes was hysterically funny!!! The WWE superstars have been doing a lot of bitch slapping recently.
- It’s great to see Jamie Noble on television more often. He has an angle with Layla and it seems that it might take more to impress her, but he is winning her over. I like this angle and I hope to see more of Jamie Noble. How can anyone not like him? He is so lovable.
- I love Honk-a-Meter. More Honk-a-meter please!!! Santino tried to get back at Randy Orton. So he put up a Honk-a-Meter and compared himself to the Honky Tonk Man. It was so random that it was funny.
- Rey Mysterio comes back and tries to wop some giant ass with the 619 around the ring post. He is successful with the 619, but eventually gets his ass wopped by Kane. I don’t know what these guys are thinking when facing Kane. It’s FREAKING KANE for God sakes! I’d be running the other way.
- Of course, last but not least – HBK and the Ayatollah of Rock n’ Rolla end the show with a contract signing. This segment was very intense and I liked it. At the same time I am wondering when this rivalry will end, because it has dragged on for too long. They do some smack talking in the middle of the ring. They sign the contract. Shawn Michaels has a McCain moment and says that he will tell his children someday that daddy looked evil right in the face and kicked his ass…well I’m paraphrasing but I pretty sure it went something like that. Shawn Michaels and Chris Jericho look like their about to have a little Smackdown until Lance Cade runs in and wants a piece of the sexy boy. HBK fights with Lance Cade which ends with Lance getting a kick in the head. (Poor Lance!) Chris Jericho is no where to be seen. Raw goes off the air.

GAIL KIM NOT SIGNED TO WWE YET
