Woohoo, first time posting in this thread, so I guess I'll divide it up like the person above me with the Purplelicious MVP signature.
Orton/Vince/Cena Promo-I have to say I enjoyed the "Triple Threat" Promo, as I like to call it, very much. I think Randy played up his role to perfection. The way he talks about how it's his "destiny" to win the WWE Championship at SummerSlam gives the match an other-wordly (is that a word?) feeling, and that's not a bad thing. I always love to see Vinnie inject some humor into any situation. And boyo- what a slap from John Cena!! I like how Cena didn't talk much (not that I don't love listening to him talk), and just got down to buisness!
Divas Match- Wheeeeeeee!!!!! A divas match! Finally, I was going into Raw Diva Match withdrawal. A short match, that should've been given more time, because these four female wrestlers could really tear it up. Highlight of the night for me was seeing Mickie kick Candice- you go girl! Let's hope Melina, Beth, Mickie, and Jillian are the last four left at SS in the diva battle royal.
Backstage with Vinnie..Mr.McMahon- I love how Vinnie met different wrestlers in the hall way. Val Venis, was hilarious as always, and Mr. Kennedy looked especially interesting.
Shelton Benjamin vs Cody Rhoeds *scream like a fangirl*- As much as I love Cody (I can't help it, he's cute) I wish they'd give the boy some character, some personality. He's got an amazing future. Shelton vs Cody feud would be a fine feud to see.
King Booker's Crowning- King Booker is truely a genius- he can create a feud with an invisiable Triple H!!!! Okay so this week we had an imposter Triple H, but I'd rather consider him invisiable. It's not like the "Tarzan" wannabe (where's Jane?) talked much... or at all for that matter. Poor JR... he always gets picked on.
I LOL'd at King Booker calling JR, Jame and Tazz, Tazzwell.
Carlito's Cabana- Carlito might just be using King Booker's idea... talk smack to an opponent who can't talk back! I love it! Almost as much as I loved seeing Umaga (haha Umanga) throw the bucket of apples. In all seriousness it was good to see Kennedy and Carlito interacting. These guys could do very well with their own individual feud. Umaga was eloquent as usual.
Kennedy vs Carlito- A good match! I liked it, but I wish it they could've punched less and done... more (yeah it's vauge). I think the part at the end where they pinned each other was very unique, and I'll be looking forward to their match against Umaga at SS.
Snitsky vs John Cena- I can't comment on it much, since I only saw the end where Randy Orton RKO'd Cena twice (bad Randy... ruining John's handsome face). I suspect that with Snitsky's acne probably hypnotising John Cena to a state of shock that the match didn't go very well. Too bad.
Other:
Melina/Vince Segment- The whole Vince/Melina thing kind of freaks me out, but hey I think Vince and Melina interact very well (and not in that way, get your mind out of the gutter). Melina for Women's Champion!!
The "Date"- I love how they're occupying Santino's time, while he's recovering with these hilarious segments. That guy coming up to table and reading off the piece of paper for Santino made me laugh my butt off.
The Good: I think most everything on Raw was good. Specifically, Carlito vs Kennedy, the Divas Match, King Booker's promo, Vince/Cena/Orton promo, The "Date," Carlito's Cabana.. I could go on.
The Bad: Eh, nothing was really that bad. Maybe the Cena/Snitsky match, but I haven't seen it, so I can't say.
The Ugly: Snitsky... I mean come on. He has Backne for goodness sake!! The man needs some Clearasil. Get those pores a working!!
Overall: B+. Raw this week was a great way to build up to SummerSlam.
