Random Thoughts Watching Raw 11/1510

Very nostalgic with the logo and displays on the screen, good stuff there. Interview with Cowboy was…interesting. I really like that interview platform with the ring and crowd in the background. It gives a great feel to the interviews. The back and forth between Cena and Miz was alright. It at least makes us worry about MITB at Survivor Series. I would have liked to see Orton with Cowboy Bob, maybe later tonight.

I like that video playing on the screen when Dolph came out. Sexual Chocolate, I wonder how many kids appreciate this or how many parents like this, but that gimmick had some really strange happenings…

Ugh, did Cole just say vintage regalia? Everything is vintage to Cole. He needs a new line. Great match between Dolph and Henry though.

This interaction with a legend in the back between the Harts and Atlas is exactly what I thought was needed. A legend cutting a promo with two people who lack mic skills. Not the best promo, but decent and a good start.

Oldschool tag title belts would have been an interesting thing to do. Why is Natalya not escorting them to the ring? She has kind of been the glue of the team recently. The Harts should win to set up a title match at Survivor Series. Smith looks really good here. Why break them up now? This was…interesting. They could easily break them up at Survivor Series, but that was starting to be a good match.

Ahhhh, Orton of old. Good to see!

Brawler vs big Zeke. God Jackson is ripped. Reminds me of Lesnar. That could be a good angle for him, the next big thing. I was glad to see the Brawler. Kind of a pointless match, but showed the amazing strength of Jackson.

Nexus backstage could have been better. It’s just seen so often. It’s hard to make it new.

It’s now been 1 hour and we have no new matches. The only build up for Survivor Series has been teasing the Miz cashing in. I guess that’s good, but it’s not a match.

I like the constant push for Alex Riley. He keeps getting in the spot light and can be seen as legitimate. I hope this match lasts more than 2 minutes and they both shine. Average match. Good enough. I hope Piper’s Pit delivers.

Interesting promo featuring Santino/Kozlov. I don’t really understanding having two faces interacting with two classic heels. I understand they’re both Russian, but it was kind of awkward. Fans didn’t know whether to cheer or boo. At least we might finally have a match set for Survivor Series!

Interesting ending. John Morrison is so impressive, even in 2 moves. Sheamus walking away? Someone so dominant? Makes him seem week…

I don’t understand the Animal eating the turnbuckle DURING the match. And of course…Vintage from Cole. Decent match, weird ending.

Sheamus vs Morrison at survivor series, could be a good match but I would have preferred adding Daniel Bryan for a 3 way match. This can be good, but seems kind of pointless. The feud hasn’t been developed and it’s not for anything. Hopefully they can do something to steal the show.

I loved seeing the Rhodes family together. The rest of the segment was interesting. Does this mean Aksana is scrapped? What is the end result of the wedding? Are Goldust and Dibiase still feuding? Lots of questions left after that. But…Gotta love the DAMN!

Not a bad match between Barret and Truth. I’m glad to see Barret get a clean win. Helps build the PPV.

May Young could hardly stand. I guess give the divas some air time, but this kind of took it too far.

Oh My God…Jim Ross! Hooray! I hope he doesn’t steal the show! Nice match coming up. Give them a good 20 minutes, this could be epic. I’ve wanted to seen this one for a while. Great match. I hope during the draft these two can feud. They have shown they can put on a match. And I guess we now have a new match Summer Slam. That one could be good. I felt really bad for JR. Started off slow but was great at the end. I know Michael Cole is playing the heel, but some respect would have been nice. Grats on the revenge JR!

And another match is set, a Survivor Series style match. It’s similar to the one I suggested, not quite the same, but close.

“Put it on or I’ll fire you.” No you won’t, you need me to help you beat Orton. Not a bad ending. The focus is still on Cena though. I would have loved to see more build up for the actual match between Barret and Orton.
