Viva La Monday night Raw


   John Laurinaitis began his first night as Interim General Manger Raw with a "sloberknocker" main event, as the (World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) were live in Mexcio City .
    Exective Vice President of Talent Relations John Laurinaitis began his reign as the Interim General manager by publicly appologizing for firing longtime commenter Jim Ross(JR). To make up for his mistake Laurinaritis rehired JR, but as a wrestler in a tag team main event with John Cena as his partner against the WWE Champion Alberto Del Rio and commenter Michael Cole. Laurinaitis felt that this match would settle the difference between the two commenters that has been growing from quite sometime. Later on that night Laurinaitis included that the winner of the match would chose the stipulation of the match Between Cena and Del Rio for the WWE title.
    The match was entertaining in the short time that Cole and JR were in the ring, the match basically involved Cena and Del Rio in which I felt was a good balance between wrestling and entertainment. In the end the match was ended with JR performing the anklie Lock on Cole. A wrestling hold that was taught to Cole by Jack Swagger and have performed it many times on JR. Announcers, Jerry the King Lawyer and Josh Matthews picked on the irony of the moment and gained sense of relief for JR. After the match Cena attacked Del Rio until he was on the ground and began counting with the microphone in his hand, as Del Rio was getting back up Cena then struck him down with the steel steps and began counting again. After finally reaching up to ten, Cena announced to the audience that the match will be a last standing match.
    Also in Raw, CM Punk was double teamed in a singles match as his opponents for the Vengeance Pay Per-view Miz and R-Truth were trying to injure him for this sunday. His Tag Team Partner for the Pay Per view and Chief Operating Officer (COO) Triple H came in to even the Plaing field , but Lauinaitis appeared with immigration to escort Triple H out of the arena. Apparently there were issues in Triple H's paper work which didn't allow him to cross over the boarder. As a result CM Punk was left to be beaten down my Miz and Truth.
    Although the thought of Triple H being an illegal immigrant was personally humorous, the thought of the old rebel Triple H teaming up with the new rebel Cm Punk has caught my attention more.
It seemed that there was theme in Raw as the majority of matches were either tag team matches or a build up to a tag match for Vengeance. Although it would be exciting to see improvement of the tag team division, it is mostly that it could be in preparation of next months Pay Per-view Survivor Series, a Pay Per-view in which the concept is 10 man tag team elimination match. However, seeing how it was different to see actual wrestling in Raw, and Mexico City are used to seeing tag team matches in the traditional luche dore wrestling. I wouldsay Raw was a pretty good show.
