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

KANE def. RANDY ORTON with DANIEL BRYAN as Special Referee: MARKED OUT!

This was very entertaining for me. Bryan tried to give Kane the win twice, and succeeded both times. First with a DQ, then with a fast count, the rift between Kane and Bryan is now solid, and Orton and Bryan are officially done with any kind of kinship. These matches will continually be great as long as all three men show up and give 100% every time they’re booked.

SHEAMUS def. FANDANGO: …checked out…

I didn’t HATE this match…but I didn’t love it either. It was WAY too long. I did like that Fandango went back to just walking out on his matches, because it’s a great way to try and get heel heat put back on the guy, but it feels like his return was so weak, that it didn’t matter. It seems as if ‘Dango was gone forever for some reason, and a lot of the luster that he had post-Jersey crowd has disappeared.

THE MIZ def. RYBACK: …checked out…

Seriously? Your “monster” heel is chickening out of a match? He just forfeits the bout over to Miz? I just can’t even begin to understand what the WWE officials were thinking on this one. HE’S SUPPOSED TO BE EATING PEOPLE ALIVE AND SPITTING THEM OUT RIGHT? If anything this should have been a squash match…but NO…we got terrible Creative booking that only made Ryback look less strong and more like a Ry-gina.

MARK HENRY promo: …checked out…

I really think the only reason I didn’t like this segment with Henry was because I had already checked out the 30 minutes before it started. He’s always good, I just couldn’t get into it because the previous two matches had caused me to lose interest.

Sorry Mark, it’s what I do.
