Happy Easter

Like a fly to doo doo
You need me like a bird needs wings
Or little bunny fufu who needs to bop the field mice
So all the kids can sing

They call me El Jefe
El primo de los matadors
The master of the metaphor,
A chaw chewin' troubadour
The one you've come to love and adore,
And I've come to take you away

Take you away
Take you away
Take you away

Take you away
Take you away
Take you away

I'll make you go goo goo
Like a baby that sees candy right before its eyes
I'll kiss your little boo boo
Make it better than it's ever felt before

They call me El Jefe
El primo de los matadors
The master of the metaphor,
A chaw chewin' troubadour
The one you've come to love and adore,
And I've come to take you away

I'll take you away now
I'll take you away now

Can you do the two step fleshtone slide?
Well I'll teach you
Can you do the achy breaky eyeball dance?
Well I'll teach you

Can you do the two step fleshtone slide?
Well I'll teach you
Can you do the achy breaky eyeball dance?
Well I'll teach you

They call me El Jefe
The boss and the point man
And I've come to take you away
They call me El Jefe
The boss and the hit man
And I've come to take you away

Raw Thoughts Episode #934

Very strange opening segment and mic work from both Truth and Morrison.  I felt they were actually given some freedom and control on what was said during the segment.

The match that followed was ok and Morrison hit one of the better Starship pains he has ever hit.  The R-Truth heel turn was intriguing as these turns don't occur very often in WWE anymore because most of the time the faces move so much merchandise with the kids and younger audience that turning them would be a loss of cash flow.  I think we can all agree though that R Truth doesn't move T Shirts so I think turning him is a smart fresh move.  I liked the whole opening segment though and am interested to see where they go with it.

I'm assuming the Steel Cage match was announced on Smackdown?  I don't watch so I wouldn't know.

Ladies and Gentlemen the new spokesman for Just For Men haircolor, Mr. Dolph Ziggler 2.0

I know everyone is banking on Sin Cara to deliver the goods but thus far I have been somewhat disappointed.  I don't think it's Mistico's fault at all though I just think that the clash in styles from CMLL/AAA and WWE has been difficult to mesh thus far.  On a positive note he did finally hit his ring enterance properly and it was impressive.
Not impressive however, was the finish to the tag match.

The women's matches just get worse and worse each week.  Botchamania has some new material.

Michael Cole segment aka time filler/killer blah blah blah.  I did have a flashback to the Lawler/Hart feud.

Orton and Punk was very good and probably one of the best matches they have had on Raw since the year kicked off with Miz/Morrison.

If I was to compare this Raw to a sandwich I would probably call it a Shit sandwich with delicious Great harvest bread (The Opening and Closing Segments of Raw) and the Shit (everything in between) 

Oh yeah, someone forgot to inform R Truth that the words "fight" and "fighting" have been outlawed. 

Can't wait for WWE Mania 28!

Raw Thoughts 4.11.11

Raw meh

Ross' statement that this is the first ever 5 man gauntlet in Monday Night Raw history is questionable.  I don't have the drive to look up the history of gauntlet matches from Raw but it could be incorrect I guess.

Oh yeah let me touch on Cena's flub on the mic to the Miz from last week: "I hope I never get another chance to face you again"  Uh well your hope has been crushed because your now in a triple threat match at Extreme Rules.  Speaking of flubs, Miz was off on some of his Main Event commentary tonight.

Corre/Apple segment was amusing and quote of the night goes to Santino for "And unlike an Apple, this fight will not keep the doctor away."

They seriously need Awesome Kong debut and squash the entire Women's division.  Too bad it won't happen

Putting the Diva's title on Brie is fine I guess.  A few weeks ago I gave Eve props for putting on some decent matches but I think I'll regress my confidence in her as I think it was just that match against Natalya.

Sin Cara debuted good but not great.  A blown spot finish and for the second week in a row he looks like he nearly botches his enterance.  Maybe it's just me but it almost looks like he's going to pull a Benjamin.  (Or Super Calo) 

Main Event Gauntlet was ok but setting it up thsi way is just a false push for R Truth just so Miz can pin Truth at Extreme Rules and claim he holds another victory over Cena. Thus making Miz continue to look strong without having Cena look weak.

Average Raw like I said.  Meh.

An afterthought:   Former ROH World Champion Tyler Black (Seth Rollins) won the FCW tag team championship.  Way to go, pray they don't bury you if and when they bring you up to the main roster.

Raw Thoughts 4.4.11

As I stated yesterday I was disappointed with Wrestlemania. Looking back I'd have to give the match of the night to Orton/Punk and actually marked out for Orton biting the ring post during the figure four spot.

Nice to see Lawler/Ross back together again albeit for 20 minutes.

 H3 opening mic time was standard WWEntertainment. 

I understand Michael Cole is a great heel but his antics are getting repetitive and I feel this storyline with Lawler is getting stale.  Especially after the abysmal performance last night.

The finish of Orton/Rey vs. Punk Rhodes was very good probably the best finish I've seen in a while.

Stone Cold/Tough enough segment- yawn.

The finish in Daniel Bryan's rematch came way too early.  I wish they would give them some time to show what they can do.  Scrapping this from Mania was another big reason for my disappointment.

Booking Rock/Cena one year in advance is a risky move concidering all the unknown factors of Injuries, etc.  A better move would have been to book it for Summerslam.  This is coming from someone who remembers when SummerSlam was one of the Main 4 PPV's of the year. 

Lastly, It's good to see that the Rock finally remembers where the hard camera is.
