This Sunday... I will go to New Year's Revolution. And I will have the best time of my 16 year life.
And damn, was there ever a crapload of debate over Triple H. I'll give my opinion on all that later, but first...
Kraidle's RAW IS... REVIEW!
******
Bischoff Segment:
Well, we start off with Mr. Bischoff talking about how last week, the EC members were beating the clock, and that this week they would beat each other. Yes, thy were some wild matches, but just read on so you know what they are.
Batista vs. Chris Benoit: 3.8/5
Oh hell yeah! I enjoyed this match very much, and not a bad way to start off 2005 over at RAW. The match was very well done, and it ended soon after Batista lifted Benoit out of the Crossface and slammed him onto an exposed turnbuckle, following up with a damn good powerbomb.
Evolution Segment:
Actually, pretty funny. Batista comes in and demands that he gets his $100 from Triple H, since if you recall, they had a bet of who could beat their opponent faster, and Hunter lost. But when Triple H shows the green with a pissed face, Batista says it was a joke. I don't know what the fuck the deal is, since I bet they wipe their ass with those bills.
Snitsky Interview:
Well, Maria interviews Snitsky, and he says that he likes surprises. After scaring Maria off, Snitsky then goes and says that he has a surprise in store for Kane, one that he isn't going to like. AND that will not be his fault.
Edge Segment:
Edge bitches to Eric about how he made HBK the special referee for the Elimination Chamber, since he speared him out of the Championship, and Eric counters him, saying that he lost business due to THAT spear, since he added 6 weeks to his recovery time. Eric then says to take out the agression on Jericho, since their match is next.
Edge vs. Chris Jericho: 3.7/5
Hey! The EC members were on fire tonight! Edge and Jericho had an awesome match as well, only thing is that they took a break in the middle of it, and that's a no-no. Edge countered Jericho's rollup, and used the ropes to get the win over him.
Randy Interview:
Randy simply talks about how he will beat Triple H tonight in the ring 1, 2, 3 with an RKO. Yep, only relevant thing he said.
Shelton Benjamin vs. Sylvan Grenier: 3.2/5
Hmm, you know this wasn't a match per se, at least I didn't feel it like that. Maven came out and did a little commentary with JR and King. Shelton Benjamin won easily, but the real story was that Maven said that he would challenge Benjamin for the IC Title. Joy.
Debate:
Um... they debated, Hassan kicked JR and King's asses, and we got The Coach for the rest of the night doing commentary. What? You expected me to cover this seriously? Pfffffffff.
Trish Stratus vs Victoria: 1.9/5
Yay! Victoria is back! All is well with the world. But this was a pretty one-sided match, Trish dominating Victoria almost through all of it. She simply chick-kicked Victoria for the win.
Lita Ambush:
Yep, Lita came down to the ring after the match, since Trish trash-talked her a little after the match. They rumbled a little bit, until Snitsky came down, and distracted Lita long enough for Trish to chick-kick her. Snitsky was just about to crush Lita's throat, when Kane came out. Yeah, all hell is going to break loose in NYR!
Christy Segment:
This was actually Eugene's, but he's not her. And she was cold, IF you know what I mean ;). Anywho, Eugene and Regal came out, and talked to Christy before the match, and we also saw a glimpse of Regal singing Lindsay Lohan's song. Hilarious!
Eugene vs. Christian: 2.4/5
Meh. It wasn't one of the greatest matches, but it was pretty entertaining. There was interfeirence on both parties, and some smooth moves. Christian won a la Edge earlier, rolling up Eugene for the count.
Encouragement:
Nothing much to say here, Triple H got a boost of confidence by Batista and Ric, saying that they had his back for the next match.
Triple H vs. Randy Orton: 3.8/5
Yep, this match was just as good as the other ones. The turning point was when Hunter threw the ref at Randy, knocking him out, making all hell break loose. Everyone involved in the EC match (including Michaels) went to the ring and interfeired in some way, HBK taking over official duties. The match ended when Randy Orton nailed the RKO.

Okay, that's it from me. Bye!
