Solid Raw this week. Even though no Y2J was a tad disappointing (but brilliant at the same time), I still enjoyed the show.
The Halloween Costume Battle Royal was fun for what it was. Sure, not everyone likes that sort of stuff, but it entertained me! Victoria in the sumo outfit was gold! Shame she didn't bring Kenny Fuji with her.
Michael's promos always deliver and this one was no exception. Love him or hate him, you have to admit that this guy is fantastic in the ring and on the mic. Great to have him back.
The whole Holly/Cody angle is still doing nothing for me. It feels quite rushed, and I'm just not finding myself caring. It's also a shame how low the World's Greatest Tag Team have fallen. To think, a few years back Shelton was a fixture in the upper midcards and feuding with HHH, Orton, Jericho, etc.. Now he's just above Val Venis in jobberland. And really, the blonde hair has to go!
The Balls Mahoney/Kelly Kelly storyline is going well on ECW. HEY!!! Let's do the exact same thing on Raw with Trevor Murdoch and Mickie James!!
Coach/Hornswoggle (with Foley as ref) was a lot of fun!
Is anyone looking forward to a Highanders V Cade/Murdoch feud?? Anyone? They really should've kept Cryme Tyme.
The Hardy/Smith V Kennedy/Carlito match was pretty good, I thought. They really need to give Smith a decent gimmick or storyline though, cause it just seems pointless having him playing pretty much the same character as Cody Rhodes. They waited this long to debut him and THAT's the best angle/gimmick they could come up with ??
Santino- as always- was fantastic!! You gotta feel a bit sorry for the fans in attendance though (who were probably expecting to see both Jericho and Austin). But the segment was great. Can't wait for the Austin/Santino confrontation next week!! Even if the two of them banter back-and-forward for 45 minutes, I'll be up for that!
Another HHH handicap match??? This is getting ridiculous (Has he even lost one yet?). And Orton has been left laying every week since becoming champ. If they keep this up, this reign is going to end up being as lame and forgettable as his last one.
Hopefully next week, it's just DX V Orton/Umaga. But judging how they were booked last time, it will probably be DX in a 20 on 2 handicap match against Orton, Umaga and every tag team in the company (with DX squashing everyone).
IF YOU MISSED IT: It was a solid show-- catch the replay if you're home. The wrestling on it was nothing great, but all the entertainment segments (Divas battle royal, Coach/Hornswoggle, and Santino's promo) worked well.
