Review: WWE Monday Night Raw (12/2)

Posted: December 6, 2013 at 9:32 am   /   Local, Professional Wrestling, Wrestling

The latest installment of WWE Raw was another snoozer. Try as they might, the WWE cannot overcome poor writing and trying to rebrand, repackage and resell matches from 2009 that fans’ have seen umpteen times before. It’s a losing battle that the WWE is fighting. I don’t see it improving until the part-time stars return […]

Review: WWE Survivor Series 2013 – Cena vs. Del Rio, Divas Elimination, Big Show vs. Randy Orton

Posted: November 26, 2013 at 9:28 am   /   Local, Professional Wrestling, Television

The WWE’s 4th biggest pay per view of the year, Survivor Series, took place on Sunday night. And that’s about the most favorable thing I can say about it.   Anyone who forked over $55 of their hard-earned money was fortunate to see a Divas elimination match, John Cena beating Alberto Del Rio for the millionth time, and an […]

WWE Monday Night Raw Recap/Review (11/4) – Big Show vs. Randy Orton For Title? Corporate Kane?

Posted: November 7, 2013 at 10:41 am   /   Local, Professional Wrestling, Television Reviews

Well, it was back to the crapper for Monday Night Raw this week. I actually decided to watch it live, rather than DVR it, which made it even worse. There’s something to be said for the ability to be able to fast forward through a lot of the junk the WWE puts on television these […]

WWE Monday Night Raw Recap/Review (10/28) – Damian Sandow Cashes in Money in the Bank, Bryan Feuds with HBK

Posted: October 30, 2013 at 7:14 pm   /   Local, Professional Wrestling, Television Reviews

Things just don’t seem to be getting any better for the WWE. “Hell in a Cell” continued a string in what has been the worst WWE pay per views in recent memory. The lack of build up, mixed with sub par in ring action, gave the event a very lackluster feel. Given the fact that […]

Review: WWE Monday Night Raw at the Scottrade Center in St. Louis (10/14)

Posted: October 17, 2013 at 10:13 pm   /   Local, Professional Wrestling

This week’s Monday Night Raw was live in our very own St. Louis, and it was not good. I will admit, I wish I would have stayed home, so I could use my DVR to fast forward through the majority of the program. At one point, I actually fell asleep at the Scottrade Center. By […]

WWE Monday Night Raw Recap/Review (10/7) – Daniel Bryan, Goldust and Cody Rhodes vs. The Shield, Big Show KOs Triple H

Posted: October 8, 2013 at 10:47 pm   /   Local, Professional Wrestling

After screwing their viewers out of $55 the night before at a total piece of crap pay per view, WWE needed to respond with a worthy Raw the following Monday. In the end, it was by no means a great Raw, but it at least helped keep interest in some ongoing feuds. First, let me […]

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 […]

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 […]
