Nick’s 12/14 Raw Review: The Good, The Bad & The Wrestling

December 15, 2009

Mickie James, Melina, Gail Kim, Maria, Kelly Kelly, and The Bella Twins vs. Michelle McCool, Layla, Rosa Mendes, Beth Phoenix, Maryse, Alicia Fox, and Natalya: The Divas were in evening gowns for a wrestling match? What? This match was senselessness added to senselessness.

John Cena vs. Randy Orton: This match was the first glimpse into Cena’s new character direction. If it wasn’t bad enough that he was Superman before, now with his new "I won’t lose" decree, he has become Superman, Batman, Captain America, Captain Planet, Catwoman, Wonder Woman and Wolverine all combined into one annoying super hero. I sense it’s gonna get ugly pretty quickly. He went back and forth for an hour with Orton in an Iron Man Match, yet beat him in just over 5 minutes last night. Really?

Overall, last night’s show was a very mixed bag. If you’re a fan of silly entertainment, then I suppose it was you enjoyed the show. If you’re a fan of smart humor from Dennis Miller which was showcased in the worst possible environment, then I suppose you enjoyed the show. But if you’re a wrestling fan, which I think comprises a majority of us, then this is the last show that you would have enjoyed.
