That Clown from Outta Town - RAW April 18th
I'm watching this week's RAW online as an experiment...the video's split into 10 parts, so I'm not even going to bother trying to keep track of the time.
I can't remember anything that happened last week apart from Edge, and the Cole/Swagger thing, so there's nothing I'm hugely looking forward to...
LET'S DO THIS
- They're in London :)
- R Truth
- 'Austen 3:16'...FFS, England
- Here comes Morrison
- Straight into a match for Truth's spot at the PPV
- The crowd do not give a fuck
- The sound's a second out of synch...really distracting
- FUCK YES MORRISON GETS A MOTHERFUCKING TITLE SHOT...this PPV is getting interesting
- Truth with some brutal looking knees after the match
- Truth smoking indoors...that'll be a £1000 fine iirc
- 'That's illegal' chant :)
- 'Think of the children R-Truth!'
- That was a really weird segment...the crowd were pretty funny though
- Evan Bourne :)
- Dolph's got a new haircut...looks...generic
- Quick win for Dolph
- Michael Cole to be knighted by the queen, apparently...I'm sure he'll just be taking the piss
- Miz taking over the ring and refusing to leave...not even slightly original
- Sin Cara about to batter Miz
- How the fuck does he jump over the top rope? He must have a springboard or something at ringside
- Pretty neat match
- Orton v Punk rematch :)
- New Kong teaser :)
- I cannot fucking wait until she shows up
- Divas
- Their queen is ridiculous...it's just an old woman...and she's tiny
- KISS THEM YOU PEASANT
- Santino time...I still can't decide if he's funny or if he makes me cringe
- Santino v Sheamus...should be over pretty quickly
- Orton v Punk time
- Orton with the Angle Slam again...kinda weird to see two guys communicating through wrestling moves
- SUPERPLEX
- Fucking hell, reversed the RKO into a kick to the head
- Really good match, shame the ending was a roll-up...that one match was better than the whole of Lockdown
- Obligatory Nexus run-in
Pretty cool Raw...and the main event was brilliant. Shame TNA can't put a show together this well to be honest...the talent over there is amazing but they're given fuck all to work with. In WWE, even the mediocre wrestlers look good because the show is so well made.
What happened to Daniel Bryan? Feels like I haven't seen him in ages.

this was a fantastic Raw. It pisses me off that Orton is booked to be unbeatable, unless by an over-the-top screwjob. Punk is clearly main event level, much better than Cena and this match proved it.
Ziggler now looks completely non-descript... he's still great in the ring though.
R-Truth is now a heel who smokes indoors... what a bad bad man.
It's great that they keep bringing JR out to call matches.
I think Danielson needs to move over to Smackdown to build him up as a top babyface over the next few months... otherwise he's screwed :(
Punk is definitely main event quality. One of the best mic guys WWE has, and awesome in the ring too. I'm sure he'll be champ again at some point...he does seem to get bogged down in long-as-fuck feuds, though.
Dream tag team: Bubba and Punk. They never wrestle, just do promos.
