MARKED OUT! …checked out… RAW 07/01/13

MARK OUT: To temporarily forget that wrestling is fake because something cool happened. Urban Dictionary

DANIEL BRYAN / SHEAMUS / RANDY ORTON / CHRISTIAN / KANE / CM PUNK promo: MARKED OUT!

Great energy to start the show. Bryan being the first one out was great foreshadowing if you ask me. I don’t see how he doesn’t win this Money in the Bank ladder match. The rest of the MITB “All Stars” hitting the ring to confront each other was priceless. Loved every minute of it.

And Punk throwing a jab at Rob Van Dam was “MARK OUT-able” for me. I can’t wait to see those two guys go toe-to-toe in less than two weeks at the MITB PPV, much less see the other 5 men competing in the same match! This one will be epic.

*United States and Tag Team Champions* THE SHIELD def. THE USOS / CHRISTIAN: MARKED OUT!

I believe in the Shield, and even though I saw this match Friday night on Smackdown, I knew there would be a different outcome since it was on Monday Night Raw. The Shield has an impressive win/loss record on Raw, so I figured they’d go over. Good match too. Nice to see the Usos getting a little push. They’re actually a very good tag team.

DOLPH ZIGGLER def. JINDER MAHAL: …checked out…

Why did we see this? I love me some Ziggler, but this match was a filler bout, a waste of time in the long run. Could have been worse, but could have been a lot better. The lack of crowd involvement here helped me check out on this one. NEXT!
