WWE Monday Night Raw Review (9/23) – Rob Van Dam vs. Randy Orton, CM Punk and Paul Heyman Continue to Feud

Posted: September 26, 2013 at 8:06 am   /   Local, Professional Wrestling

This week’s Monday Night Raw was one of the more boring programs in recent months. It didn’t do much to advance any storyline, other than the Randy Orton/Daniel Bryan feud, as well as the CM Punk/Paul Heyman feud. My favorite segment of the night had to be Punk’s homecoming promo. The crowd was red hot […]

WWE Monday Night Raw Review (9/16) – The Corporation, Randy Orton and Daniel Bryan

Posted: September 19, 2013 at 7:56 am   /   Local, Professional Wrestling

Following a lackluster pay per view, I wasn’t sure where WWE was going to go with Raw. I was shocked that Daniel Bryan won the title – feeling that it’s too soon to leave Randy Orton in the dust as champion. And then WWE pulled one over on me, as I didn’t really expect Triple […]

WWE Monday Night Raw Review (9/2) – The New Corporation, Cody Rhodes Fired After Match With Orton

Posted: September 4, 2013 at 1:11 pm   /   Local, Professional Wrestling

Monday Night Raw was again all about the new Corporation, driven by Triple H and Stephanie McMahon. Once again, Triple H had his way with Daniel Bryan, leaving one question in my mind. How long can WWE continue to have Bryan beaten to a pulp every week? Just when I thought things were going to […]

WWE Monday Night Raw Review (8/26) -Triple H Makes a Good “Bad Guy,” C.M. Punk vs. Curtis Axel

Posted: August 29, 2013 at 12:53 pm   /   Local, Professional Wrestling

This week’s edition of Monday Night Raw scored a high grade in my book. First of all, I loved the Triple H and Randy Orton promos to open the show. Triple H plays a bad guy so well. His demeanor is perfect for the McMahon family. Orton is also best when he is a villain. […]

WWE SummerSlam 2013 Review and Monday Night Raw Recap

Posted: August 21, 2013 at 9:08 am   /   Local, Professional Wrestling

It was hard for me to grade Monday’s Raw due to the fact that the WWE had a hard act to follow with SummerSlam. Yes, the pay per view was that good, mainly because of two epic matches, and a supreme screw job orchestrated by Triple H. I have to say that overall, I was […]

WWE Monday Night Raw Review: Cena vs Bryan on Miz TV, 20 Man Battle Royal, Punk Attacks Lesnar

Posted: August 14, 2013 at 10:58 pm   /   Local, Professional Wrestling, Television

If the WWE is looking to make Summerslam a big seller, they better hope fans want to see one of two matches. For some reason, the WWE has put most of it’s energy into promoting just two matches for the second biggest pay per view of the year. While I would like to see some […]

WWE Monday Night Raw Review: McMahon Attempts Corporate Makeover on Daniel Bryan, Brock Lesnar Gives C.M. Punk a Beatdown

Posted: August 7, 2013 at 4:19 pm   /   Local, Professional Wrestling, Television

This Monday’s edition of WWE Monday Night Raw was once again a mixed bag. There was some good, and some bad. All-in-all however, thanks to the good, it was a pretty entertaining episode. I was not a fan of how they kicked the show off. The whole haircut thing was weak. Everyone knew that Daniel […]

Where is WWE going with Daniel Bryan/Vince McMahon?

Posted: July 30, 2013 at 10:33 pm   /   Local, Professional Wrestling

I’m going to take a break from my usual Raw Review column this week to focus on the big storyline from Raw and the effect it could have on the future of not just WWE, but wrestling in general. Of course the big storyline in the WWE right now centers around Daniel Bryan. Bryan is […]

Wrestling fans in St. Louis can rejoice! Ever since the closing of the Rec Room in South County several years ago, it’s been hard for WWE fans in the area to find a spot to watch pay-per-views. While the Stratford Inn showed a handful of PPVs shortly after the closing of the Rec Room, that […]

Posted: July 17, 2013 at 6:44 pm   /   Local, Professional Wrestling

Apologies for the late column this week, but I was on vacation in Jamaica. After a 12-hour day of traveling, the first thing I did was fire up the old computer and watch a streaming version of WWE Money in the Bank. As tired as I was, I was quickly awakened by the high-energy Money […]
