9/13/10 Raw

Another week, another Raw. School is on again so I don't get to enjoy live shows anymore, but I hope you enjoyed watching it.

I came to like that anonymous General Manager angle somehow. It is dump, but it also draws a lot of heat every week and pushes Cole as a heel in the process. There will be an end to it in the near future, but it's still fun too watch - because the thing that draws more heat than any mid-card wrestler is a damn MacBook Pro.

When it was announced that Miz would have a match it was pretty obvious who he would face. Then we got to know that is was a submission match. Did anyone doubt that it would be Daniel Bryan vs. The Miz afterwards? We got to see Bryan so I won't complain though.

The Miz, Bryan Danielson and Alex Riley where in the same ring and it drew a smile on my face. Why? All three of them are the same age (twenty-nine) with Miz beeing the oldest and Bryan the youngest. There are mere months between them in age but leagues if you compare their wrestling ability. The youngest of them is the veteran and the middle one isn't anywhere near the other two - age means shit in wrestling.

Bourne vs. Edge? Really? Where does that need ot burry Evan Bourne come from? The guy never did anything wrong (in the ring at least) and still is de-pushed back into jobber-land. I'm sorry for him. Edge looked a little stoned in the beginning by the way. More than a little actually.

You didn't the see the paper on the laptop for the first time in probably six weeks or so. I was astonished to say the least - it's like they suddenly started to care. Scary.

I for once agree with Ted DiBiase, this sing and dance contest was utter shit - and Americas got no Talent if their performances were any indication.

The first real match of the night was John Morrison vs. the Irish fella Sheamus. One of the best matches I've seen from Mofo Jomo in a long time (the one with Chris Jericho was good too, but that's not Morrisons credit).

While watching Jericho smack a chair on Morrison I suddenly realized it: ... no Nexus. Yes, you read right, no f***ing Nexus the whole evening! I won't complain but it startled me there for a second.

Chris Jericho shouting at Cole was classic. "Of course you have an e-mail!" "Just shut up and read it!" That's why I love this man. Thanks Y2J for doing what everyone of us wanted to do for months now - it was long overdue.

Sign of the day

I didn't get a better shot, but this really made me laugh. Kudos!
