WWE Monday Night Raw 6/17/13 – Mark Henry pulls a swerve for the ages

Another post-Wrestlemania PPV, another knockout. Cena vs. Ryback at Payback, as was expected, consisted of yet more brutality culminating in another ludicrous ending: an ambulance roof ‘collapse’ that saw Ryback miss out on this week’s Raw entirely in order to ‘sell’ his loss. The highlight of the show, though, was undoubtedly Punk vs. Jericho in …

Monday Night Raw 10/6/13 – McMahon melodrama takes strange precedence

With Monday Night Raw – and WWE in general – being fairly light on genuine surprises, I almost always opt to dive into each show without reading the preview or any major dirtsheet spoilers. So I was surprised to see Triple H come out at the top of this week’s episode for a match with …

Monday Night Raw 6/3/13 – Enough’s enough for Mr. McMahon

It’s always nice to see Vince swing by for an appearance now that he’s moved on from malevolent boss to frail old man. “Don’t boo my daughter Stephanie,” he pleaded with the crowd, asking nicely – for once – for us to show some respect to the daughter he beat the crap out of almost …

Monday Night Raw 5/27/13 – Punk’s return set for Payback PPV

Curtis Axel is already leaving a strange impression. The writers want us to believe he’s ‘lucky’, but scoring fluke victories over successive big names across two episodes suggests that either a) the stars won’t job cleanly to Axel or b) WWE don’t want to jump the gun with him just yet. Either way, nothing Axel …

Monday Night Raw 4/1/13 – The go-home show saves its best gasps ’til last

John Cena made it ten minutes into his promo before being hushed with “boring” chants, the crowd united against him despite his description of Washington DC as a house divided into “Cenacrats” and “Rockpublicans”. The Great One stopped by later in the evening and predictably scored a better reaction from the fans, but his segment …

Monday Night Raw 3/25/13 – The Road to Wrestlemania is long and arduous

Mr Butter Fingers allowed the Urn [Anderson] to hit the floor just as soon as it arrived back in his hands. “I am not just any other man,” he said, juggling the trophy around his legs. “I am CM Punk and there is nobody in the world that is better than me.” He professed that …

Monday Night Raw 3/18/13 – Undertaker/Punk climbs to the top of the Wrestlemania card

“You’ve got 20 days left to pick a side,” said Cena to the Pittsburgh crowd, as part of his obligatory stand-and-point-at-the-Wrestlemania-sign promo. It’s a fair ask, especially if you’re placing money on the match; I’d encourage you all to bet life savings on John Cena defeating The Rock for the WWE Championship. Aside from gambling …
