THE WRINGER REVIEWS “A VERY SPECIAL EPISODE” OF MONDAY NIGHT RAW

By Michael LeBlanc on 8/31/2010 12:43 PM

Do you get the feeling even Cole knows he sounds like a total idiot introducing the GM’s e-mails?

Whenever Bret is announced for a match now, isn’t your first thought, “Gee, I wonder how they’ll get him out of that one?”

Did you catch Miz’s “nametag” shirt?

Did the WWE cameraman really miss Miz’s clocking of Bryan ?  So much so they had to show it again on replay?

If you’re going to split a title belt, why use jagged cuts instead of one straight one down the middle?!

Did Melina match her outfit for tonight with her Diva’s title belt on purpose?

How funny was Josh’s line to Jericho about getting kicked off or fired from Raw so often?

Doesn’t the word “sloberknocker”, when coming out of Cole’s mouth, seem just…wrong?

Is Alberto Del Rio, complete with his own fleet of expensive cars, and his own ring announcer (doing it in Spanish!), growing on anyone else?

Don’t you wish McIntyre would have taken out the GM’s PC completely, and permanently?

What the hell was up with the “ Battle of the Dimmed Lights”?!

How cool was the “Eddie” chant?

Okay, who popped for Edge’s “Beaker” reference?

Can you believe SuperCena didn’t last the entire main event, and got pinned clean?

Did Cole say “900th episode” about 900 times tonight?!

FINAL THOUGHTS:  A decent show tonight, which could have been so much better had some of the teases actually appeared.  No Stone Cold, Triple H or Rock, and no appearance by other veterans like Roddy Piper and Jim Ross left me wanting.  A good opening segment, a fantastic CM Punk segment and a decent main event weren’t enough for me to really give the show high marks.
