ROOK'S REVIEW!
I don't know about the rest of you, but last night's RAW didn't really impress me. Maybe they're just saving up to put on one hell of a SS, but anyway....
Team Austin def. Team Bischoff in all matches! - Team Bischoff just looked sloppy last night. The Jericho/Booker T match and Michaels/Orton match were ok, but the other two sucked. Maybe RVD/Christian wasn't that bad, but I expected much better given the incredible ladder match they had a few weeks ago. And Steiner and Henry vs. The Dudleys? HA! (At least on the plus side, Henry made Steiner look real good, though I don't think Steiner is as bad as everyone portraits him) Also, its obvious the rest of the team doesn't think too highly of Orton, and was it just me or did Henry shoot Steiner a dirty look when he got them disqualified and then showboated to get all eyes on him? There's definately dissention in the ranks. Also, by having Michaels pick up the win, they've completely destroyed "The Legend Killer" angle, because its obvious now that unless he has help, Orton can only kill legends who can't really fight back (Moolah, Foley). I guess there is some good to report though. Jericho hooked up with Trish. Awwwww. lol :) And what did Booker T do? Who remembers what? And don't hurt the Coach! He's a national treasure! He's....SMARMY!
La Resistance def. The Superheroes - Ok, did I miss something? Don't we have a PPV in a week? What exactly did this match have to do with anything and why should I care? This time could've been better used to make more time for one of the important matches, or to further the development of Jindrak and Cade or to rebuild Maven after they killed off his momentum. No one cares about either of these guys. The French angle got old fast, as did the SHiT superhero angle. These four guys have real talent, wwe, put it to better use or keep it on Heat. Same for the Storm/Venis thing.
Molly and Gail Kim def. Lita and Terri - I hated this so very much. Not only was the outcome painfully obvious, but it was just an excuse to have King talk about "rubbing salve" on Terri. Ewwww. King "salve".
Romantic Dinner for Two - Okay, Kane says pain turns him on. Both giving and recieving. Therefore, this becomes a sexual thing for Kane. Shane is thus giving Kane sexual pleasure both by hurting him and by being hurt. Now they are having a romantic candle light dinner. Could this whole premise be any more homoerotic? This is less a match at SS then a SadoMasochistic Orgy.
Goldberg def Batista - Goldberg, with a "broken" leg, manages to defeat Batista, who is bigger, badder, better and healthy? Now this destroys Batista's credibility as a monster. In two weeks, they've ruined the careers of three young superstars who should have a great future. What kind of logic is that? You destroy Maven's momentum to build up Batista, just so you can destroy it to build up Goldberg? (the third star is of course Orton. See above) He even beat up Triple H. With a busted leg. Fuck you Vince.
