I just got excited. That almost NEVER happens to me. Honest.

Yep, Monday Night Raw happens tonight, and in honor of that, I thought we’d take a quick look at what you can expect to be disappointed with before it happens.

With this being the “go-home” show before their Over-The-Limit Pay Per View event this coming Sunday, you can be sure there will be precious little wrestling, but lots of recap packages, video and still photos of the “feuds” that have developed recently.  Quick!  Name one feud!  You can’t, because they haven’t really developed anything.

But hell, if you’ve got $45 and nothing better to do, the CM Punk vs. Daniel Bryan match for the WWE Championship should be a good one either way.

Let’s get into this, shall we?

Seriously, Rock is gone, Brock is gone....All we have left is Lord Tensai.

It would appear that the WWE has decided to drop Brock for a bit now that he’s both lost to Cena and crippled HHH in consecutive nights.  Or maybe it’s just that they realized too much Brock, especially when allowed to speak, is just bad for “this business” and “these people” and “the era that ended but was revived immediately by bringing back guys like Brock and Rock.”

I don’t know, but what I do know is that this was a hard show to enjoy.  It had some moments, but it simply didn’t have anything to make it truly special for a guy like me.  A guy who didn’t give a shit 10 years ago when Brock was a thing, and who doesn’t give a shit now that Brock is a thing.  It’s kinda funny.  I didn’t bother rating this show due to time constraints on my end, and the fact that honestly, aside from two small pieces, it was all dogshit in my book.

At any rate, follow me on Twitter, leave a comment, be my friend.  Let’s move on with this horseshit, shall we?

Monday Night Raw - Better than a poke in the eye...but not by much

Yes!  Yes!  Wait, no.  No!  This episode of RAW happened right after the Extreme Rules Pay Per View event on Sunday.  So we have to deal with the fall out from that, we have to hear from Brock Lesnar and for some reason HHH as well.

It’s always a toss up whether the follow up show for a Pay Per View is going to be good or freakin’ awful, and tonight’s was no exception.  I’m still not decided to be honest.  It wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t great.  It’s almost as though they’re afraid to give us a really good show.  Maybe they’re afraid they can’t do it more than once in a row?

Anyhow, my rating system remains.  Anywhere from dogshit to 5 Rowdy Roddy Pipers for a good promo segement, and anywhere from dogshit to 5 Macho Man Randy Savages for a good wrestling segment.  I’m trying to be less angry with these recaps.  There’s a lot to like in the WWE, they just usually don’t give it to us on RAW.

As always, follow me on Twitter.  (if it’s good enough for WWE, it’s good enough for me) and leave a comment below.  Let me know what you think!

THREE GODDAMNED HOURS OF THIS SHIT

That’s right, tonight’s RAW was a THREE HOUR GODDAMNED SPECIAL and because I love you guys (both of you who read my site, thanks Mom) I suffered the entire thing just so I could report the results to you.

Remember, this week, I am changing the format.  I will be rating each segment as it comes on.  I’m hoping this accomplishes two things:  1.) Brevity, I’ve been extremely wordy in Regurgitations past and I want to cut that down a bit, 2.) Make a little more sense in my ramblings.  So in case you missed out on the new system, you can read the original article here:  New Format for RAW Regurgitation or you can read the highlights below.

For any speaking segment, I am awarding anything from a Dog Shit to 5 Rowdy Roddy Pipers as to how much I enjoyed it.  For any wrestling segment, I am awarding anything from a Dog Shit to 5 Macho Man Randy Savages.  Then I’ll simply comment on the segment a bit.  You’ll get a recap, highlights and commentary to go with your ratings.

Keep in mind, I love pro wrestling.  Well I love WWE’s version of it at any rate.  I’m not a professional journalist or critic, but I know what I like.  I used to be enthralled by the pageantry of the original WWF back in the 80′s and early 90′s and I want more of that to come back.  It was fun.  It wasn’t SMART and it wasn’t complicated, but it was fun and it sometimes made for a really fun afternoon or morning of entertainment.  These days, they keep missing by just “this” much.  I want the fun back.  I would hope if you’re reading this article each week, you want the same thing.

As always, please follow me on Twitter, leave a comment below and let me know what you think and share this stupid shit around with your friends.  Unless you want to keep your friends, in which case, don’t share it with them.

They tried their best to avoid giving us a good show tonight.

Ahhhhh, hell.  Yeah, they had Raw tonight.  It was taped in front of a live studio audience, much like Laverne and Shirley used to be.  And much like Laverne and Shirley, it was mostly awful with some decent bits mixed in throughout the night.  I guess that “People Power” is going to be a thing now, dammit.

Every time I hear that phrase, I picture Scrappy Doo gearing up to get his ass stomped on the most horrible era of Scooby Doo cartoons ever unleashed on the general public.  It’s just terrible.  We couldn’t have had the Big Johnny Era?  Or, Executive Vice General Manager Melee?  Anything would be better than “People Power”.  It’s like they’re not even trying.

So anyways, before I get into it, let’s do the normal thing.  If you like the article, please consider sharing it on your social media networks.  If you hate the article, do the same.  I don’t care.  Also, follow me on Twitter and Facebook.  I’m just like the WWE only I never trend world wide.  Consider leaving a comment too, let me know what’s on your mind.

And with that out of the way, let’s do this thing!
