Killa Kev's Raw Review

Courtesy our friends at AngryMarks.Com

Tonight, WWE Chairman Vincent Kennedy McMahon will be on-hand to announce the new General Manager of Raw.

Also on the card: former WWE Intercontinental Champion Rey Mysterio challenges Chris Jericho to a re-match; ECW Champion Tommy Dreamer defends against Christian Cage; CM Punk defends the WWE World Heavyweight Championship against former champs Jeff Hardy and Edge in a three-way match; and the vacant WWE Championship is up for grabs in a four-way fight between John Cena, the Big Show, Randy Orton and Triple H!

We are LIVE with WWE Raw announcers Michael Cole and Jerry "the King" Lawler introduce the show, and break the news that Mr. McMahon is here to name a new general manager. Jerry Lawler states, "I also heard that Mr. McMahon is here for something else." We go into a recap of last week's WWE Raw where Randy Orton, Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase, Jr. attacked WWE Champion Dave Batista at the top of the show, tearing a tendon in his arm and putting him out to pasture for four months. Randy Orton then invokes his rematch clause, which former general manager Vickie Guerrero granted before she resigned later in the night. At the end of the show, Triple H makes an unannounced appearance, charging to the ring, taking out Rhodes and DiBiase, then shreds Randy Orton to pieces, "The viper has been slain!" declared Michael Cole.

We then start the introductions of all the WWE announcers, and then go right off into our first match...

WWE Intercontinental Championship: champion Chris Jericho vs. Rey Mysterio, Jr.

Jericho is introduced first, and to very little fanfare. "Predictably, ever since I was drafted to SmackDown, this show has gone into the toilet! Raw has gone into a tumultuous tailspin of the likes which it will never recover. Your GM has quit, your championship is vacant, and the fans are still igorant, vapant ... and one day you will realize how much I meant to this show... and some day Rey Mysterio will realize what I say is the truth. His mask will be his downfall, and only Chris Jericho and lead him to salvation, be his savior, and set him free!"

"BOOYAKA BOOYAKA!" blasts the PA system as the pyros ignite and Rey Mysterio emerges, donning a mask yet again after it was taken from him last week.

Mysterio charges Jericho with a double-leg takedown at the start of the bell, trying to whip Jericho into the corner afterwards, gets reversed, but Mysterio recovers with a hurracanrana and then clotheslines Jericho out of the ring. Jericho is met with a stiff kick to the chest as he tries to step between the ropes, followed by Mysteiro hitting a legdrop from the top turnbuckle onto Jericho. Mysterio goes for the cover, Jericho gets a foot on the ropes to break it. Jericho throws Mysterio into the ropes. Jericho tries to hit his springboard dropkick off the turnbuckle, Mysterio grabs him in mid-air and throws him down on the apron, but Jericho counters by throwing Mysterio into the announcer's table. We take our first commercial break.

DECEPTICON. Sorry, had to say it. Love that commercial.

Back to the show, Jericho whips Mysterio into the corner, charges, Mysterio puts a boot up, Jericho catches it, Mysterio with an enziguri. Mysterio bounces off the ropes to try for a 6-1-9, Jericho counters by scooping up Mysterio, puts him on his shoulders, executes an airplane spin into an Argentine Backbreaker, cover, two count. Jericho moves in and tries to rip off the mask, Mysterio kicks his way free, a headscissor takeover and then uses the ropes to choke Jericho before hitting the springboard seated senton off the top rope, cover, two count.

Jericho begs off into a corner, Mysterio follows up with punches, whip out of the corner, reversal, Jericho tries for a bulldog, but Mysterio shoves him into the corner and then dropkicks Jericho to the outside. Mysterio leaps through the ropes with a suicide dive into Jericho, both men colliding to the floor. Referee starts a count-out, Mysterio recovers first and throws Jericho in. Mysterio climbs to the top turnbuckle, Jericho climbs up to meet him, Mysterio fights him off, hits a sunset flip into a powerbomb off the top turnbuckle, cover, two count. Mysterio tries for a wheelbarrow takeover, Jericho sits on Mysterio's shoulders for a quick pin attempt.

Mysterio with a headscissor takeover that puts Jericho on the ropes, Mysterio tries for the 6-1-9, Jericho moves out of the way, Mysterio gets hung up on the ropes, Jericho tries to bounce off the ropes for his own 6-1-9, but Mysterio with a springboard moonsault off the ropes to take Jericho down, followed by another headscissor into the ropes, Mysterio finally hits the 6-1-9 on Jericho, tries for the seated senton off the top ropes again, but Jericho successfully counters it with the Codebreaker. 1... 2... 3.

WINNER: Chris Jericho. We replay that final segment of the night that cost Mysterio the match. Up next Mr. McMahon sits down for an interview, then the WWE Championship four-way match.

Backstage from the break, Todd Grisham interviews Randy Orton backstage, Orton cuts him off from his irrelevant question. Orton says that he refuses to allow Grisham to give his own recap for last week's events. Orton says "Triple H makes his return with his big sledgehammer because he cannot do anything on his own." Orton proclaims he will take back the WWE Championship in just a few minutes, and Triple H will be irrelevant.

John Cena steps up and dismisses Grisham, and then assumes role as a commentator himself, calling Orton a "gutless, spineless member of the baby oil boys club". Cena then makes his own comments about tonight's match, finishes up with a comment "that baby oil must be eating away your brain." Orton shakes his head and walks off. We then flash back to last week's WWE Raw where Vickie Guerrero resigns as WWE General Manager, tired of being made fun of by the fans.

Interview with Mr. McMahon

Michael Cole directly asks Mr. McMahon who the new WWE Raw General Manager is going to be. "After much consideration and deliberation of the candidates, I'm actually NOT going to announce who the general manager will be." Michael Cole wants more details, Mr. McMahon says that when opportunity comes knocking, sometimes you have to step up. "Therefore tonight, with mixed emotions, my announcement is that I'm selling Monday Night Raw."

Cole and Lawler are confused. Mr. McMahon explains that he has come to a decision to sell WWE Monday Night Raw, and that the new owner will be announced after the WWE Championship match. We take a commercial, come back and a somber Cole & Lawler recap what was just announced.

ECW Championship Match: champion "the Innovator of Violence" Tommy Dreamer vs. Christian Cage

We kick over to Todd Grisham and Matt Striker for the announcing crew as Cage is introduced. Bell rings, Cage with a side headlock to start, Dreamer shoves him off, Cage with a leg lariat, cover, one count. Dreamer whips Cage into the corner, charges, Cage steps through the ropes to hit the pendulum kick, Dreamer grabs the head and hits a neckbreaker, cover, two count.

Dreamer whips Cage into the corner, charges, Cage connects with the pendulum kick again, follows up with a sunset flip off the turnbuckle into a pin attempt, Dreamer reverses the pin attempt, Cage escapes and blasts Dreamer in the face. Cage goes to the top turnbuckle, tries to leap off, Dreamer ducks it, Cage looks like he tweaks his ankle. Cage tries for the Killswitch, Dreamer reverses it, flips Cage over his back, grabs Cage's exposed neck and rolls him up in a cradle pin for the victory.

WINNER: Tommy Dreamer. Cage limps off into the corner, holding his ankle, Dreamer celebrates his win. We take a commercial, come back and the Bella Twins and Kelly Kelly are backstage gossiping about the sale of WWE Raw. We then recap (AGAIN) WWE Champion Dave Batista being assaulted by Legacy last week.We then show photos from Batista's surgery last Tuesday. He will be out four months.

WWE Championship - Fatal Four-Way for the vacant title: Randy Orton vs. the Big Show vs. John Cena vs. Triple H

Triple H and Randy Orton immediately peel to the outside and battle into the crowd. Big Show throws Cena into the corner, beats him up and throws him out of the ring just as Triple H disposes of Orton and slides back into the ring. Big Show and Triple H circle the ring, eying each other down as we go to commercial.

Big Show throws Cena into the corner, charges, Cena gets a boot up, Triple H throws Orton out of the ring, then hits a facebuster on Big Show.

Mr. McMahon Announces the New Owner of WWE Monday Night Raw

"Ladies and gentlemen," announces Lillian Garcia, "the chairman of World Wrestling Entertainment, Mister McMahon!" The fans cheer as Mr. McMahon's music, "No Chance in Hell" blasts across the arena. Mr. McMahon struts down to the ring and takes a mic.

"Tonight I come to you with a heavy heart, and, um... I've done a lot of soul searching over the last several weeks, I've had conversations with my family, my friends and my financial advisers. I think I've come to the right decision to sell Monday Night Raw. Monday Night Raw will be independently owned and operated by a man I have a history with. Never let a personal relationship get in the way of a good business deal. Let me introduce you to the man, without further ado, the new and no-doubt proud owner of Monday Night Raw... DONALD J. TRUMP."

HOLY SHIT! DONALD TRUMP OWNS RAW!

"Thanks, Vince," states Mr. Trump as he comes onto the WWE RawHD Tron, "you finally put your ego aside and made a smart business decision. I, Donald Trump, and the new owner of Monday Night Raw. You know, Vince, you never showed your true appreciation for Monday Night Raw. I'm going to do something that has never been seen before. You've been in charge of Raw for 17 years, you've never given back."

"Wait wait wait...," stammers Mr. McMahon. "I've been giving back a lot. Quite frankly, it is time for the fans to give back to me!"

Mr. Trump interrupts him. "Raw has been the number one rated show for 17 years, it's time for us to give back. My first act is unprecedented, unheard of, and something you were too cheap to every do, Vince. Next week live on USA Network WWE Raw will be presented commercial free! That's right, Vince, it will be commercial free, commercial free, that's right, no commercials! Who has ever heard of a thing like that?"

"Nobody, that's who!" shouts McMahon. "I think you've lost your marbles!"

Mr. Trump continues, "Vince, next week I'll be at Raw to see things ran the way I want, THE RIGHT WAY. So I'm warning you now, you better not get in my way! And, by the way, Vince, I've never had so much fun as shaving you bald..."

"CUT IT OFF! CUT IT OFF! CUT IT OFF!" demands McMahon, and we lose our satellite feed. "As I was saying, I wanted to come out here and give my final farewell... but now I'm a little too emotional for that. Perhaps Mr. Trump will allow me to do that next week. Moving on, Randy Orton is now the new WWE Champion, and now we need to determine who his challenger will be at The Bash. Tonight we will have a ten-man over-the-top battle royal, and the winner will face Orton at The Bash. And now, I will do something that Mr. Trump doesn't believe in, we will go to a commercial break!"

So... FUCK ME! This week I have to recap a 3 hour Raw, and next week recap a 2 hour Raw WITHOUT COMMERCIALS. *sighs* Granted, the innovation is nice... but is Stevie J going to pay for my carpal tunnel surgery?? Still, big ups WWE for snagging THE DONALD!

Mickie James vs. Rosa Mendez

Wow, Mendez gets to make her REAL wrestling debut against Mickie James, NICE. Mendez is so confident she even sends her mentor, "the Glamazon" Beth Phoenix, to the back! Before we can get this match started though WWE Divas Champion Maryse Oulet comes down to ringside for commentary.

Mendez dares James to charge her, James does, Mendez ducks her, lays in forearms to the back, James turns around and lays in forearms to her face! James goes to the top turnbuckle, Mendez bails out of the ring quickly. James leaps over the ropes to grab Mendez by the hair and pull her back in the ring, Mendez grabs some hair and chokes her on the ropes, slides back in the ring, hairmare, goes for the first pinfall. Mendez flips James over and grinds her face into the mat, stomps on the back, flips her back over, mounts her for the ground 'n pound until the referee pulls her off.

Mendez pulls James up, throws her across the middle rope and chokes her. Pulls James off, reverse chinlock for Mendez, grinding James' neck into her knee. James breaks the hold, flips Mendez across the ring, cowers off to the corner to recover.

Mendez with a knee to the midsection, off the ropes, tries for a swinging neckbreaker, James blocks it and then connects with the Laree DDT, un... doux... trois!

WINNER: Mickie James. Oulet storms out of the area in a hurry. James gets on the apron and dares her to get in the ring. Oulet steps up on the apron as referee Mickey Henson backs James up. James rushes the ropes and Oulet jumps down, laughing and taunting. James dares Oulet to step back into the ring, Oulet blows kisses and walks off. Commercial.

So we come back with Goldust and Hornswoggle in the ring firing off the T-Shirt cannon, and then we get Mike "the Miz" Mizanin's music breaking up the fun, and Mizanin walks down to the ring w/ a mic in hand. "I have a message for Donald Trump, the new owner of Monday Night Raw. If you're really looking to take this show to the next level, if you're really looking to do something unprecedented, then the NEW face of Monday Night Raw is THE MIZ!"

"John Cena is the face of the past. This is the money maker of the present and the future. Last week I told Maryse, I told the whole WWE Universe that I back up every thing I said about John Cena, AND I DID! I left him unconscious in the ring. And tonight I'm going to throw him over the top in the battle royal, EARN my spot in the WWE Championship match."

"But I'm not going to stop at the WWE Championship, OH NO! I want to t-shirts, the movies, the magazine, the endorsements! I want this face to be ANYWHERE and EVERYWHERE, and you people will be eating it up, begging for more! 'Please, sir, may I have more?'"

Goldust interrupts Mizanin's little rant. "Miz, I've been watching you trying to play mind games with John Cena. It's not working, you disappoint me! Where's your imagination? Where's your creativity? Once... LOOK AT ME! Once I gave Ahmed Johnson mouth-to-mouth to get in his head, WHAT ARE YOU DOING? 'Blah blah blah, I'm the Miz, I hate John Cena' that's what you're doing. I think you should change your name from The Miz to The Whiz."

Mizanin sarcastically responds, "Why would I do that?", to which Goldust counters, "Because when you start talking, that's what everybody gets up to take!" Fans pop. Mizanin replies, "ZING! SNAP! HA HA HA! Hey you circus act... HEY PAY ATTENTION TO ME!" Goldust ignores Mizanin as he leans down to listen to Hornswoggle. Mizanin says, "Hey, what did he just say?" Goldust replies, "The real Reality Check is that YOU'RE A LOSER!" Mizanin replies, "Yeah, that's real mature... GROW UP! Get that freak back! And you, you're in no position to lecture me on how to succeed in this business"

Fans start booing Miz heavily, he continues on. "Whatever! What is this, your fourth or fifth go-around in the WWE? Every time you come back you hope to get back what you had fifteen years ago? 1999 you were an interesting act, a novelty, but today I'd beat you down, but I don't think anybody would care, so you're a waste of my time! Instead, I'm going to show Donald Trump, who is watching right now, that unlike John Cena I'm not afraid to take risks."

Mizanin spins around and punches Goldust in the gut, followed by a DDT. He then grabs Hornswoggle and throws him across the ring. Mizanin picks up the t-shirt cannon, backs Hornswoggle into a corner, and tells him to get off of his knees. Mizanin turns around to jeer the crowd, then spins back around and fires the t-shirt cannon right in Hornswoggle's nuts! OUCH! Mizanin throws down the cannon and raises his hands, the fans rain down boos on him. We replay what just happened to Hornswoggle. Commercial.

Josh Matthews backstage with CM Punk asking him if he has any regrets about cashing in "Money in the Bank" on Jeff Hardy at the Extreme Rules PPV. Punk says that a year ago he took advantage of Batista beating the crap out of Edge last year at Extreme Rules to cash in MITB to win, and not only did the fans support him, he got a Slammy award for it. Now this year he does it again, but this time cashing it on Jeff Hardy, and now he's supposed to feel sorry? Punk emphatically states that he is here to compete, and there's no reason to feel sorry, it's just business, and all but a small minority support him.

Matt Hardy interrupts and congratulates Punk, and tells Punk that if he was in his place, he would have done the exact same thing. Punk tells Matt Hardy to shove it, because he's never won Money in the Bank, he's never won a WWE heavyweight title, and don't even try to suck up to him with empathy. Punk walks off.

We replay Edge telling Vickie Guerrero that he wants a divorce (from last week's Raw). And I didn't catch it, but several in the AngryMarks.com/chat room did notice Punk's quiet tribute to the fallen Mitsuharu Misawa written on his wrist band.

Mr. McMahon suggests that Mr. Trump might be sexually attracted to "Santina", but that Mr. Trump will have full control over the show and Mr. McMahon will have no influence. Mr. McMahon's phone rings, acknowledges that it's Mr. Trump and answers. Marella screams into the phone his greetings, and Mr. McMahon has to apologize for him.

Afterwards, Mr. McMahon says, "If there's one thing I can't stand, it's a billionaire with an ego!" Marella quips that Mr. McMahon must hate himself, which leads to Marella saying one stupid thing after another before making a hasty exit.

Now, as the new owner I said that I was going to do unprecedented things. So we're not going to have that match at the PPV, we're going to do it next week! It's going to be rough, it's going to be nasty but it's going to be a lot of fun, because that match next week will be a LAST MAN STANDING match! I'll see you next week!"
