Raw Redux (March 15th, 2010): Blurring the Lines
After last week's Raw, all signs seemed to be pointing towards Eve Torres being the front runner for a title feud with Maryse, but a few inter-brand cameos may have just turned us in another direction. Is this a good direction or a bad one? Let's watch this week's action and judge for ourselves:
Kelly Kelly makes her way to the ring, followed by Maryse. Common sense indicates that this will be a squash match, but with how Maryse has been wrestling lately (that is, barely wrestling) it...
Raw Redux (March 8th, 2010): All About Eve
After last week's moving tribute to womankind, I was bracing myself for the worst with this week's show. Surprisingly, the WWE decided to put on a straight wrestling match rather than mold the Divas action to guest GM Criss Angel's gimmick, and for that I'm grateful. But was the match anything to write home about? Let's see:
Eve Torres, Gail Kim and Kelly Kelly make their way to the ring for a 6-Diva Tag Team match. I guess it's been a while since we've seen one of those, though I hav...
Raw Redux (March 1st, 2010): Welcome to Women’s History Month, Folks
Well, now that we've gotten past that pesky Divas Championship Tournament, it's time to set the division back several years and have a good old fashioned pajama pillow fight. Of course, this is in keeping with this week's guest GMs, Cheech and Chong, not that their names are synonymous with pajamas or pillow fights. I'm just guessing the Divas sitting in a circle and passing around a bong wouldn't have been in keeping with their PG rating. But of course, the Divas looking all jailbait-y whil...
Raw Redux (Feb. 22nd, 2010) – What Took You So Long?
The bait and switch pulled at the Elimination Chamber PPV led many of us to believe that the WWE had bigger plans for the Divas Championship tournament finals. Perhaps a lengthier feud to build up such an important match? No, as it turns out, because they finally decided to have the match on a regular old ordinary episode of Raw. Watch the match below and see if it was worth all the wait:
It definitely surprised me when the Divas Championship logo passed over the screen. But I think, ...
Raw Redux Does WWE Superstars (Feb. 18th, 2010): Last Ditch Effort
Any sort of buildup to this Sunday's Divas Championship match was noticeably absent from Monday's Raw, but never fear! The WWE hasn't completely forgotten about this match, for this week on WWE Superstars, Gail Kim tries to build some momentum going into the big match in taking on Katie Lea. Watch the match below:
Katie Lea takes control out of the tie-up, twisting Gail's arm behind her back. Gail gets out of the hold by hitting a snapmare, then rolls Katie into a crucifix pin. Katie ...
Raw Redux (Feb. 15th, 2010) – The Mystery of the Missing Divas Championship Tournament
If last week's Raw was lacking in terms of build-up to the Divas Championship Tournament finals, this week was downright moronic. With Maryse and Gail Kim's long-delayed match still set for this Sunday's Elimination Chamber PPV, one would be safe to assume that there would be at least some build up for it on the last Raw before the show. Just a little? Maybe even merely acknowledging it? Well, keep your hopes at ground level, kids, because the WWE disappointment machine was on full power thi...
Raw Redux (February 8th, 2010) – An Afterthought
For weeks we've been following the Divas Championship tournament, with all its stops and starts. Two weeks ago we finally made the match-up for the finals, but getting to that match has been harder than it seems. Many of us want the WWE to just get it over with, as it's been obvious from the start that Maryse will be walking away with the title. Thus, it's been some acute form of torture to see the WWE stretch this thing out as long as possible. This week was no different, and on top of it w...
Raw Redux Does WWE Superstars (Feb. 4th, 2010): An Unfamiliar Sight
Another week, another Raw Divas match on WWE Superstars. This week, we've got another tag team match: Eve Torres and Kelly Kelly vs. Alicia Fox and Katie Lea. Can Katie Lea score her first win in quite a while, or will the flashy faces prevail? Watch the match below:
Alicia and Eve start the match with a tie-up, Alicia taking control and turning a side headlock into a hip toss. She holds the headlock on Eve, despite her fight for momentum. Alicia eventually gets to her feet and is sho...
Raw Redux Does WWE Superstars (Jan. 28th, 2010): Predictable Fun
This week we're continuing the trend of the Raw Divas wrestling on WWE Superstars, this time with some lesser-used Divas. Brie and Nikki Bella are teaming up to face the un-crowned JOB Squad of the WWE, Jillian and Katie Lea. Watch the match below:
The Bellas make their entrance, and Jillian and Katie Lea enter together to Jillian's music (how weird is it to see Katie Lea walk out to Jillian warbling? it definitely doesn't fit, to say the least). Brie and Katie Lea start things off, K...
Raw Redux (January 25th, 2010) – The Clock’s Ticking…
Last week we were caught a bit off guard when the WWE decided to hold a tag team match instead of the semi-finals of the Divas Championship Tournament. It seemed to me back then that it would suck out what little momentum the tournament already had, but did it? Let's take a look at this week's action--two semi-finals matches--and see if the tournament has any momentum left going into the finals.
First up we have Maryse and Eve Torres in their semi-final match. Maryse gets on the microphon...
