Good morning, good afternoon, good evening...whenever it is you have found me. Today I am going to LIVE blog this week's episode of Raw. This is one of the first times I have done this as I often watch days or weeks or years (there is a lot of wrestling out there and only so much time).
- This is the worst theme song for Raw ever, I usually skip it when I watch
- Thankfully Drew did not have a major case of COVID
- Was anyone asking for Drew vs. Goldberg?
- They need to turn off the fake crowd noise it is overpowering
- Well that will kill any heat Miz and Morrison had, totally believe they could win Sunday if they cash in
- Was Goldberg blown up walking to the back?
- Is Charlie the best interviewer in the business now? I think so
- So is no one going to mention that Lacey and Ric are married
- That is one of Ric's robes?
- Charlotte looks nothing like she used to in the face and it is sad
- Do you think Nia hurt someone yet?
- Rose and Brooke are the calvary?
- I smell a six woman tag!
- I have always loved Dana, wonder if they will bring up the Charlotte Dana history
- This has 5 really good performers and Nia Jax in it
- Well that was pointless with the cartwheels
- They did mention the history!
- That was a stiff kick!
- Could Lacey's trunks get any tighter?
- How is Temptation Island a thing?
- Wait? They are restarting it? Good grief because we need more of this match
- Did Shayna screw up and not get in when she was supposed to?
- Remember when Lacey was fighting for her daughter and now she is cheating on her husband, great turn around!
- Ugg that looked bad on Dana and dear lord Nia will hurt you for realz!
- Thank god Dana avoided the Bat Cave by Nia!
- I like that they have gotten away from the sexy Rose and she is more of a wrestler!
- What the fuck was that other than dangerous, how is it guys like Lee and Otis need to go to the Performance Center and Nia somehow keeps a job
- Mustafa has a point about Kofi stealing his spot
- Where is Big E? He cannot show up and help Woodsy?
- Those are horrible tights on Slapjack!
- All of Retribution has those horrible tights?
- I love Woodsy!
- Is Woodsy knocked out?
- Modified High Times damn
- We are only an hour into this show? Really?
- Seriously someone named Bad Bunny is going to be at the Royal Rumble? That is just bad
- Why is Shelton wearing a mask? Will that be addressed?
- It is weird for Cedric to be a heel
- Lashley should not be allowed to get on the mic!
- I love Sheltons shoes!
- Damn I love MVP
- And I love R-Truth
- Truth...um....I would NOT get into the ring
- Riddle I do not love though, in fact, I am not a fan at all
- Sheamus has been around a long time without a break from the company
- Sheamus on the mat is interesting
- Why is Miz in his gear?
- I would watch Sheamus and Drew at Mania!
- I miss the mohawk
- Is that a mouse showing up under Sheamus eye?
- WHITE NOISE!
- Oh now we know why Miz is in his gear
- Are they really low on talent at the show?
- This does not really make sense for Sheamus to agree to
- Some really stiff looking shots I like it
- Especially when Sheamus and Morrison are interacting
- Sheamus is going to the top? I guess he does do the flying shoulder block regularly
- Really good showing for all men
- I do not like this angle at all, nope, feels too real
- Have they ever said that R-Truth is wrestling in gear like his boyhood idol John Cena
- STYLES IS ELIMINATED! Oh wait not quite the rumble
- A fun match there between two vets!
- Why is there Thunder in the....Thunderdome....nevermind
- That hour was much better than the first
- Some weird verbiage but I like this promo by Orton
- I really like the crazy Bliss
- Uggg, we go from Alexa Bliss to Riddle? Why?
- Smart by Riddle to go for the quick knee
- Damn, how strong is Shelton?!
- Thought he was going for the Olympic slam there
- Look at the strength by Shelton!
- Cedric was trying to help!
- Cedric has this, he can take out the Original Bro!
- How smooth is Cedric?
- I love MVP on the outside
- RIDDLES SHOULDERS WERE DOWN BEFORE THE VICTORY ROLL!!!
- Why did Riddle look confused?
- Edge looks old and tired!
- All wrestlers today need to watch this interview. Edge is real here!
- I really have no idea who is going to win the Rumble this year. There are so many options
- Remember when Elias was one of the hottest stars in WWE, yeah me too, and I miss it
- I do love Alexa Bliss in any incarnation!
- Can the ring announcer get worse hair?
- Is that ref of legal age to work? He looks to be 12!
- What a throw by Asaka
- Well, this is creepy!
- I am digging the facial work by these two
- The FUCK?
- This is so strange and odd and I am loving it strangely enough
- Obviously when the fans are back they cannot do this but until then!
- RKO!!! MY GOD!
If you eliminate that first hour it was a good show. I really liked this as it picked up. The Edge promo was exactly what promos should be. It WAS AMAZING! I love the Bliss stuff and the end with Orton hitting the RKO on Bliss was perfect and a great ending. Overall a good show.
