So last night was RAW, and underwhelming is probably the best word to use here.
Last week we learned Vince McMahon was relieved of his duties as chairman of the board, so this week we began the new 'Triple H era'. Now I started off watching the show with an open mind and I was really hoping for some change, but I think RAW fell flat this week.
We did get some change and it began not with talking but with an actual match. I know that's hard to believe, but instead of someone going out and talking for 10-20 minutes to start the show we got a match first thing. Another thing we haven't seen in a long time was a Diva's match that was longer than 30 seconds and guess what we have lined up for next week? A number one contenders match for the Diva's championship. When was the last time you saw one of those? Yeah, it's been a while. And do I even have to bring up the fact Zack Ryder FINALLY got some TV time, even if it was in a minute long match against Cole? No, I don't. And of course, how many people missed Jim Ross?? Thankfully he's back right where he belongs on commentary.
But really I think some of this was just to distract us from noticing there was a lot of the same old same old going on this week. Who was the winner of the Diva's match? None other than Kelly Kelly, same as the past few weeks. Who ended up winning the title? Rey Mysterio but, did he walk away with the championship belt? No, that ended up going right back to the guy who had it and will most likely keep it until Wrestlemania 28, John Cena. Did Cole steal way too much of the show again? Yes he did just like he has for way too freaking long and he's going to be a big part of Smackdown next week when he will decide if he wants to stay in the WWE or quit. And we were introduced to the WWE 'Spinner' Belt on April 11, 2005 and the WWE had a chance to change it but they keep the same belt even though it was suppose to be the beginning of a new era. I understand that they kept it just because CM Punk had to come back with the same title but I think that belt looks hideous and they need to change it as soon as they can and I was really hoping it would be last night.
Even with everything I was disappointed in, I was beyond happy when I saw CM Punk return. I think he has an amazing new image now. New shirt, new theme and of course the WWE Championship belt around his waist. And I'm really glad to see WWE added it to the shop.com page so everyone can order it now. I bet those people who paid hundreds for the shirts on eBay feel pretty stupid now.
But all that being said I really hope eventually the WWE changes and in a good way, maybe it just takes some time. I really think it's a move in the right direction now though. Hopefully the new 'Triple H era' picks up after kind of failing last night.
I would rate the show a 7/10.

Disclaimer
Now before I start posting on here let me just say a few things.
I'm 16 and I grew up on the WWE. I've been watching for as long as I can remember thanks to my parents who are two huge fans of the show. I grew up on Lita, Chris Jericho, Matt Hardy, The Rock, Triple H, Jeff Hardy, Trish Stratus and all the wonderful wrestlers not superstars. I love the WWE, my room is filled with the posters, I have the action figures and the DVDs. I have tons of magazines and one dates all the way back to 2001. I will always watch this show no matter what direction it takes or who is in charge of it and my children will watch it too and hopefully their children and so on.
But with that being said, I am not in any way a 'journalist'. I don't take it in school and the most writing I do is when I need to do a research paper. These blog postings will be about RAW, SMACKDOWN and maybe even some reviews on DVDs, magazines and other things about WWE. But, please be aware of the fact I don't claim to be a top of the line writer or researcher. These posts are not going to be as nicely done as some people's blogs who have been doing this for 5+ years. I'm just simply a fan who has opinions and thoughts about the shows they produce and I decided to make a blog about it. Don't expect too much, I'm only 16 and this is just a hobby for me.
I don't really expect this to get very far or even have more than 100 something viewers. I won't get paid for this, it's just something to do in my free time. Whatever gets posted on here is not meant to be an official review of a show and if I use the wrong term for something don't be an ass about it and just nicely comment and tell me where I went wrong. And while we're on the subject, don't be rude on the comments or I will block you from this blog. There is no need for you to make yourself look ridiculous on here.
So with all that being said thank you for looking at this and I hope you'll like what I post. I will try to update this everyday to look at what you guys are saying about my blog and your thoughts on things. Have a good day.(:
