RAW 4/4/11


After watching Wrestlemania, and seeing the Rock cost John Cena the title I couldn't wait for Monday Night Raw.


However, it turned out to be a wait and see night. Which was smart by WWE making everybody stay tune until the end. But some of their decisions I have to question. Raw opened with another superstar, who had the best match last night, HHH.


HHH talked about how tired and beaten he was. How he never hit anybody harder than he hit the Undertaker. But the Undertaker kept getting up. The Undertaker was so beaten that he needed to be carried out on a stretcher. It was the first time I could ever recall, and I have been watching wrestling since I was six, seeing the Phenom unable to walk back to the locker room. It made me question how long the Deadman could keep this up. His body has taken a ton of damage over the years. If he called it quits after last night no one could blame him. I don't think he will, but I do start to wonder when will the time come.


HHH leaves us wondering about a Wrestlemania 28 rematch and all I have to say to that is NO! Don't get me wrong last night was great. It was the best match on the card and both superstars delivered. HHH has had two shots at the streak. This shouldn't be lets keep trying until I end it. Let someone else go at it and end it. A match that we have never seen. A match that puts a superstar's career over if he beats him and ends the streak. A perfect example would be Christian. But hopefully at next year's Wrestlemania Christian will be fighting for the title.


Cole comes out next bragging about his victory last night and asking for a rematch. Lawler is eager to accept but the rematch isn't from last night. It is from two weeks ago when he took on Swagger. How little faith the WWE has in the All American-American to not have him wrestling any active wrestlers. This guy was world champion at one point and now is Michael Cole's lackey. Lawler won the match, as if anyone cared.


The best match on Raw was between Randy Orton teaming up with Rey Mysterio to take on the tandem of Cody Rhodes and CM Punk. I like how they are not putting an end to these two feuds. I think the wrestlers work great together, especially Orton and Punk. The match was high action and had the crowd going. Orton and Mysterio picked up the victory when Mysterio hit the 619 on Rhodes which led to Orton hitting the RKO on Rhodes.


Stone Cold made an appearance to announce the contestants of Tough Enough. Funny chant from the crowd as they wanted Stone Cold to stun them all. The Miz came out to interrupt. Telling everyone how he went from Tough Enough to WWE Champion. It looked like Stone Cold and the Miz were going to go at it, but Alex Riley attacked Stone Cold from behind and then ended up getting stunned for his trouble.


Didn't understand why Alberto Del Rio was on Raw. He went from wrestling Edge for the title to appearing on Raw wrestling Evan Bourne. It just didn't make sense to me having him wrestle and beat a nobody a night after he lost to Edge. Is he staying on Raw now? If so who is he going to feud with? Questions we will have to wait and see.


When is the WWE going to get rid of Vickie. She has no purpose on any wrestling show. It was ok when she was a general manager, but now she is annoying and is really holding Dolph Ziggler back. Another thing the WWE needs to do is get John Morrison and Dolph Ziggler in the ring and have a one on one match. These two are great athletes and could have a great match.


The match that was suppose to be last night but never aired happened on Raw. Sheamus held on to the United States Title. But the real question is what happened after the match. Sin Cara made his anticipated debut by attacking Sheamus after the match. What is his problem with Sheamus? Another question we will have to wait the answer for.


Finally, the moment we have been waiting for. Cena came out talked a little on the Rock and gave Miz respect for getting the job done. Rock came out and answered Cena calling him out. After all the talk, they finally agreed to wrestle one on one. At Wrestlemania 28? What? We have to wait a whole year to see them two in the ring.


This is a big gamble by the WWE booking this match a year in advance. Who is going to remember the storyline? Is the Rock still going to be making appearances? What if one of them gets seriously hurt? What are you going to do with Cena now? There are just too many questions with this move. I guess we will all just have to wait and see.
