Last night’s Raw was a scary one, as WWE seemingly found a balance between the throwback T&A and actual wrestling. However, the two don’t quite go together and as the title of this post would suggest, I liken it to ‘running with scissors’. It wasn’t a bikini contest nor was it a respectable wrestling match, [...]

Raw newcomer Gail Kim scored a huge win in her first night back on the brand, when she pinned Maryse in a tag team match, also featuring Alicia Fox and Mickie James.

I have been less than enamored with Monday Night Raw since the Draft in April. You could blame it on lousy booking, little storyline development and average at best in-ring work. But on the night of the 15 Superstar trade, it looks as though Raw has returned to form with an excellent and enjoyable fatal [...]

Last night’s much touted ‘commercial free’ Raw was a certifiable flop in the Divas department. If you missed it – and I’m kinda wishing I had – you didn’t miss anything at all. In fact, you could have just not watched last night’s Raw and continue living your life because there was nothing interesting about [...]

Last night’s Raw saw Rosa Mendes finally get a match of her own and WWE marked the occasion by giving her an entrance theme to call her own & by taking off the Glamazon-shaped training wheels, as we saw Rosa send her mentor, Beth Phoenix to the back rather than accompany her to the ring. [...]

Last night (as you’ve all probably seen), I was sure that Kelly Kelly would leave Raw as the new Divas Champion. I couldn’t quite put my finger on the feeling but it just felt like it would happen. For some fans, they’ll be relieved to know that my hunch didn’t come true — as Maryse [...]

If Maryse’s WWE career were made into a scrapbook, the page dedicated to last night’s Raw could be titled ‘My First Raw Win’, as for the first time since being drafted to Raw last month – Maryse scores her first official win as a Raw Diva. The Diva has been a long downward spiral since [...]

I’m going to be real frank and kick off by saying, after last night’s monstrosity of a Raw, I have no desire or motivation to waste time writing this week’s Raw Redux. So I’m going to keep it as brief as possible.
Three possible reasons last night’s Raw went the way it did:
1) In the last [...]

To continue the analogy I used in last week’s SmackDown Redux, it looked as though Raw carried over some of that ‘finale week’ drama onto last night’s programme. Last night’s Raw utilised the plotline device of the ‘game changer’, something unexpected that comes out of left-field and makes the viewer go, “Oh my God!” And [...]

Apologies for the late Raw Redux this week, sick baby at home. I guess you might think that these Reduxes are pretty easy to write and take up 30 minutes of my day, but I really do have to sit down and re-watch the matches a couple of times before I can start analysing. I [...]
