ROOKS RAW REVIEW >:(
Last nights RAW was a godawful debacle. This is how the plan to end the year 2003? This was garbage, pure and simple. I wish I hadnt wasted the two hours in the vain hope that things would get better. King and JR were, as ever, a pain to listen to. McMahon, as ever, takes two minutes to say what I already knew before he even opened his mouth. Randy Orton crapped on the name of the Hardcore Title. Bischoff, for a while seemed as though he was undergoing some character revamping or growth, but that was shot down. Jericho and Christian are acting like a couple of eighth graders. And Matt Hardy has gone MIA...again.
RVD def. Scott Steiner - This was a lackluster match, mediocre, at best. A filler match, which serves no niche, as no fueds were developed and no stories progressed. This time could have been better served to further the Test/Stevie Richards story that began on HEAT. At least that match would have some meaning.
Eddie Kramer & Russell Simpson def The Dudley Boyz - Who the fuck are Eddie Kramer and Russell Simpson and why should I care? What the fuck was this even about? Wouldnt the same spot have been equally filled out by La Resistance or Cade and Jindrak? Pure tedium. And whats this? Oh goodie. The Dudleyz are still gonna be in the title hunt.
Randy Orton def. Booker T - This one had promise, and though my enjoyment of it was tainted by the apathy I was feeling from the rest of the show, it kept me interested enough that I decided to watch the rest of the show. Still, what the fuck are they doing with Book? Who in the hell is he supposed to be fueding with, Orton, Kane or (ugh) Mark Henry? And what will Henrys favor be? (My guess is either another rematch or a dozen Krispy Kreme donuts)
Happy Holidays Match - Just when the Womens division actually seemed to be becoming a credible division, they pull this. It wouldnt have even been so bad if theyd used WRESTLERS (Ivory and Jazz must be turning in their gra---uh---beds?) Stacy does not belong in a ring. Miss Jackie might have some talent but she is a LOOOOOOOOONG way away from competing. Still, Victoria in pigtails was hawt!
Triple H def Shawn Michaels - Fuck you, WWE. Okay, this match began, and I didnt care, as the rest of the show had sapped my will to keep watching. Then, after the commercial break, I began to get interested. Triple H went for the pedigree, and I was on the edge of my seat. Then Bischoff came down, and by this time, I was marking out, and foaming at the mouth. then they hit the 1-2-3, and I flipped. Shawn Michaels had won! This made up for the whole show being complete bullshit! Then, Bischoff spoke, and I grew silent, then outraged. Then Stone Cold came out, and we get served the same goddamn shit weve seen for the past six monthes. A rematch? FUCK THE REMATCH! Thsi was the last match on the last RAW of the year, and in Michaels home town. This win would have been huge. But no. Now, unless the rematch is at Wrestlemania, it wont mean a goddamn thing. You know I dont care if Trips wins anymore, because Im sick of this shit, and to hell with RAW. I hereby boycott RAW until at least No Way Out. Up yours McMahon, and up yours Levesque. Im out. (At least I still have Smackdown to look forward to.)
