WWE Raw results and reactions from Labor Day supershow on Sept. 5 in Columbus

Then again, I’ve been stupid before.

There really weren’t too many bad parts.

I didn’t like what they did with Nash. So, he broke into HHH’s office and texted himself from HHH’s phone…Allllrighty then. Obviously, HHH firing him isn’t the end of Nash, especially with Laurenitis getting into his car. And, HHH changing the match with Punk into a No-Disqualifications match leaves an easy out for everyone to save face- HHH doesn’t lose against Punk, since someone (Nash, probably) will interfere and smash Punk, and it’ll be legal. Punk will lose, but not cleanly, and will still have the “chip on my shoulder” momentum going.

I didn’t like Kingston-Bourne at first, and they felt too randomly put together, but I like them a little more now. They’re both high flyers, and it works. I don’t want them to stay Tag Team Champions much longer, but I like them as a team. The name still sucks, though. And, poor Khali. Dude can barely work. Just stop already, before you can’t.

The women’s match, whatever. They’re giving Beth Phoenix another shot (shouldn’t she of had a rematch clause or something, like all the male guys?), and I don’t think they’re going to let Kelly Kelly win again. I don’t get why they’ve been pushing her so much, other, I guess, to make it look more believable when Phoenix wins this time. She sucked horribly on commentary. She sucks at wrestling. She’s a generic blonde bimbo and not that pretty. I don’t get how she’s been the face of the women’s division for a few months now.

The Miz and R-Truth tag team looks real good. They made R-Truth look too much like a stupid black guy, but whatever. I normally don’t like mashing two singles competitors together, but (like Bourne and Kingston), they work. The match with Punk was eh, but…

I was hoping Otunga and Mr Perfect’s Son kicked Jerry’s ass- people complain about Nash taking time from developing guys, but how much time has been wasted on crappy Jerry Lawler matches this past year?- until I saw who his partner was. Woo, woo, woo, you know it! I was too busy marking out with my sister- how did the crowd react? That video montage was pretty cool, but they should of let him have more in-ring time. Most of it seemed like him being beating up, too. But, a start’s a start. Here’s hoping they actually push Ryder now.

Speaking of needless TV time, why did Orton face Heath Slater? I mean, hell, if you’re going to have a squash match, at least give someone who might make it interesting, or could use the exposure some TV time. Drew McEntyre. Justin Gabriel. Tyler Reks.

I thought it pretty stupid when all the good guys came out to save Cena, and that Teddy Long randomly appeared and made it a match- Doesn’t RAW still have a General Manager, albeit an anonymous one? The match itself was a lot better than I thought it would be. Jack Swagger looked good, and I like how they advanced the Ziggler/Swagger/Vicky triangle. Since they’re reinvesting in the tag team division as a way to feature as many guys as possible, have Vicky take them both, and let them work as a team. Something. The ending was crappy- I thought it’d be Cena beating all four opponents, not just two, so I was wrong there.

Don’t know why they had to make Del Rio look bad, either. Seriously, have they made him look good at all since winning? That one RAW where he beat up Cena after his match with Punk, I guess. I think, because they haven’t really had time to let Del Rio be champ, they’re not going to have him win at Night of Champions.

I never watch Raw because I read these summaries and it always sounds terrible. But last night, just to show I can be open-minded, I tried to watch it. I made it through the first fifty-five minutes. There were two matches for a total of about, what, eight minutes? And one of them was the divas match which, as Geno wrote, was not very good. The tag match was ok, but too brief and of course Khali can barely move. Bourne can really hit that shooting star.

Punk is great on the mic, but why is Kevin Nash on my tv? Seriously, for what possible reason would anyone want to watch this guy now? I despise the Miz, and do not want to see him either, but I understand why he is being paid by the company. Nash brought nothing. Most of the opening segment was a waste of time.

And also, I don’t care why John Laurinaitis is in a limo with Nash. And also also, I hate the WWE announcing style so much. CALL THE MATCH. Don’t talk about some soap opera garbage that just happened, just CALL THE MATCH. Describe and discuss what is happening IN THE RING. No matter many times I hear them do this style it is just as aggravating. It is more aggravating knowing that they are not merely clueless, but are sucking intentionally.

At 9:55, before the Punk-Truth match, I turned it off. That could have been a good match, but I didn’t care anymore. I was disgusted, but I was more insulted. I cannot believe that this is the flagship program of the top wrestling company in the world. Eighteen more days until the new ROH show is on.

Of course the hottest thing going on is the Punk/HHH angle but if you’re going to involve Nash, you might aswell bring Waltman in aswell. Of course people, more likely the IWC will complain about WWE doing almost what TNA is doing in putting a 50 some year old in the ring. I don’t know if it’s going to actually come down to that but we’ll see. I really could care less. Instead of having Punk still in the main event scene, they started with him fighting basically the suits. Although it’s entertaining and I really enjoy Punk saying what I personally have been thinking for awhile, there’s still that thing in the back of my head that’s saying no matter what, Punk is fighting a losing battle. If its’ not Cena, it’s someone like Rio who just a year or two ago VKM didn’t like him at all. This of course shows that Vinny has pretty much lost it. He’d rather listen to his cronies then the people. It’s always been said that he did things for the people. That’s utter bullshit, because he does what he thinks is best for himself and lets not forget if HHH or daddy’s little tramp wants something, he’ll give it to them. They also could’ve built the HHH/Punk match up just a bit, atleast till SS but guess they did what they had to do seeing that Nash couldn’t be cleared to wrestle. This shows what little faith the corporates have in Punk which comes to no surprise cause he doesn’t take shit from a DOUCHE like HHH. Or that bitch Laurinaitis. If I’m not mistaken when Austin came back or wanted to, HHH wouldn’t have it. No cause he can’t stand anyone being a bigger star than he is. It’s hard to look at what he does in the ring without knowing how much of a fucking prick he is. He wouldn’t have the amount of reigns as champion if he wasn’t fucking Steph. Speaking of pricks, Cole is the biggest DOUCHE out of anyone on the roster except the two I just named. I mean seriously this guy can’t go one night without contradicting himself but yet because Vinny thinks he does a good job, it shows how hypocritical he is. He bully’s JR and sits there and lets a little bitch like Cole do it every wee. Nice one dickhead. Glad that Phoenix/Eve was a squash match because just like the majority of the so called divas, Eve can’t do a move without botching it, not once but twice. I might have looked over if it happened again. I like Natayla and it’s about time that someone said what alot were thinking. Prissy little slutty tramps like Kelly get to become champions but only cause VKM and some other higher ups like the way her face looks on tv. What a joke. SHE’S NOT TRISH. It seems they have been trying key word trying to make another one for years as noted on here not to long ago. If Beth doesn’t become champion on NOC, it’ll be a fucking travesty. It’s to bad WWE doesn’t put as much effort into the womens division as they do with trying to get the title back on Cena. We get it, he’s the face of the company and the modern day Hogan. I respect Cena but come on, it’s alittle tiring seeing him “overcome” the odds and become WWE champion for the um-tenth time. Atleast when Hogan was champion, he held the belt alot long than 2-3 months. Occasionally you see long reigns but bottom line is Cena will be champion one way or another. Ryder should be doing something. He’s entertaining and they should use his Net popularity to actually make the title he has something he could defend. Have it so people who are on Superstars which is a Net show, wrestle him for it. Do something cause he’s just kinda floating. Or even if you don’t have it done that way, put him in an actual program. Otunga and Mcgillicutty haven’t done shit and they have no personality. I’ve seen drunks with more personality and yet they were tag champs only cause Otunga or rather Mr Hudson is married or engaged to Jennifer. And what’s the deal with bringing Lawler in for matches here and there. Do they honestly have nothing or no one else they can do anything with? They have an entire roster and they have Lawler wrestling. What’s wrong with this picture? Oh and how bout that shit Orton and Carrot top who should be fucking fired for molesting someone. It just shows the mindset of how shitty things are run in WWE. Atleast it’s not as bad as the cesspool TNA is. If they are going to start bringing SD! talent over from now on, I expect it to be vice versa which they ought to just unify the titles. I’ve never seen the point of having two titles. Yes I know Vinny saw that there was no competition but come on. One championship should represent ONE COMPANY, not ONE BRAND. It’s a joke. Both IC and US titles can be secondary titles but they aren’t even looked at it like that anymore. At one time these were the championships that if were either one, you were closer to getting or becoming World Champion or atleast in the scene, now it’s more like a title they just give to random wrestlers cause creative lacks in anything else useful. They already unified the divas and tag titles cause they spread their roster so thin so just make it so one championship is the one everyone wants. It would mean alot more than having two of them. Come on. Before WCW was bought out, they had incredible feuds. Of course one of the main ones was Austin/Rock. Granted they were fighting competition but even still afterwards before the whole Invasion thing, it was a time where wrestling was indeed fun. Will it happen again? Only WWE has the power to stop bullshitting and make it this way again. I didn’t go into every single thing that happened but just the things I’d like to point out.
