Hi folks! Sorry about last week, but something came up that had to be taken
care of ASAP! Yes, it was wrestling related, and I will talk about this at
a later date. (It is BIG, and it will be worth the missed issue)
Now on to RAW...
Ok, so I missed the first ten minutes of Raw!
First Match...
(First round of IC title tourny) Owen Hart v/s Bulldog,
Man, I wish I saw all of this one, but I did see Owen execute an
PERFECT spin wheel kick on the outside! The Bulldog then fell into Sunny's
chair. (Don't ask how she got out there) She got pissed, and threw a soda
into the Bulldog's face. That caused the Bulldog to to get counted out.
Winner:Owen by Countout
Grade: What I saw was a ***1/2
Notes- Bulldog and Sunny got into it after the match.(Sunny was claiming
that Davey was trying to look up her skirt) That brought Jim into the mix.
Jim and Sunny jawed for a few minutes, and they went to a commercial
Commercial Break
AJ Interveiw...
In a nutshell AJ said he understood, and only hoped that the fans
could forgive him for not defending the "People's Belt".
Back at ringside Mark Henry was signing autographs, and Sunny was calling
everyone in sight a pervert.
Second Match...
Vader v/s Freddy Joe Floyd,
_ On the outside Vader got into Henry's face, but Mark just smiled.
- The actual match? One word. Squash!
- Cornett came and did a little bit of color. He said that Shawn cheated
Vader. Sunny was lying and a tramp. (Least something to that effect) He
ended the mono by saying that he could beat Jose or Sunny.
_ During the match the lights flickered off and on. This was hinting at the
new "Power of Mankind" that was stolen from the Undertaker.
-Winner: If you can't guess stop reading NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-Grade- I don't grade squashes!
Commercial Break
Interview w/Paul and Mankind...
This was by far the highlight of the show. Paul began by telling
everyone how he was tired of being tired. (Hey, that's what he said!) Then
the lights began to flicker. Paul said that Mankind "owned" the power now,
and that the Taker was not causing the lights to flicker. The interview
went on until a group of monks brought out the Undertaker. Mankind and Paul
made somewhat of a ceremony out of the death of the Taker. Then all of a
sudden UT shot up! (Big shock huh?) He rose to his feet, and lifted his
hands to the heavens. (Here comes the cool part) The ring lit up in flames.
Mankind hit the road, and the Taker did his posing.
-Notes- If you know me you would know that I HATE the Undertaker, but
tonight may have changed my mind. (But I doubt it!)
Third Match...
Final Four Battle Royale...
Members: Sid, Austin, Savio, *Goldust* (In order of elimination)
- Austin, Goldust, and Savio put out Sid from the get go!
- Austin wrestled his first bad match for the WWF. (That I can recall)
His
foot actualy hit the floor twice.
- Savio? Well, he's Savio! What do you want? A good match?
- Goldust? Well, he's letting his hair grow out, but that's about the only
good thing I can say there either.
-Notes- Maybe I was rough on this match because Austin did not win!
-Grade- *1/2
Commercial Break
Interview with Cornett
Cornett said that Yoko was back with the stable, and that Yoko could
take Shawn out by himself.
Fourth Match...
Shawn v/s Yoko,
Yoko came down by himself. This match was very slow, but hit its high
point when Cornett ran out, and beat Jose with the racket.
The rest of the match was the same old Shawn. Except when Yoko ducked
Shawn's S.C.M., and cruxifixed Shawn. Shawn then popped up a few minutes
later, and hit Yoko with S.C.M.
-Notes- This was one of the poorest showings of Michaels. Personaly, Shawn
has been OVER pushed. (One of the worst things that can happen to a
wrestler)
===OVERALL===
This was the best Raw in a while. Tonight Raw took Monday Night. (Yes, I
actually saw both shows)
