WrestlingNerd: RAW is YES!!!

Occupy RAW by the YES! Movement

What up wrestling fans. Wrestling Nerd welcomes you back to the Wrestling Nerd Channel. Today, we look at RAW 3/10/14. We are getting closer to Wrestlemania 30. We have a couple of matches made on the card. WWE has 4 more RAW and Smackdowns left. There are so many questions left unanswered. Are the Wyatts facing John Cena or The Shield? Is The Shield going to break up? Will the Divas suck again? Today we have Hogan and The Undertaker showing up. So lets sit back, grab some Capri-Sun and watch the show...

Hogan's Heroes

Andre The Giant's 30-man Battle Royale

The Hulkster starts the show. He gets some cheap pops and quickly promotes the WWE Network. However, instead of laying out all about the products, Hogan gave an epic event to the Wrestlemania 30 card. A 30-man over the top Battle Royale for a trophy. Not just any trophy, but a trophy featuring the Legendary Andre The Giant. Then at the height of anticipation and giddiness over the event. My heart sank as it did with most of you all when you heard the John Cena music. Cena arrives with boos. He poses and gets in the ring. Cena gushes over sharing the same ring as Hogan. Kinda like how I would if Celeste Bonin(Kaitlyn) would share the ring with me... Cena does horrible impressions and poses with Hogan that want to make you puke your guts out. The Wyatts come out to steal the spotlight. Bray Wyatt does his great mic work. Then Cena takes a page out of the Rock's book and sings. With no charisma at all, crowd cheered for Hogan. Wyatts have a staredown and cut to break.

Erick Rowan w/ Bray Wyatt and Luke Harper vs John Cena w/ Hulk Hogan
This match sucked ass. Rowan dominated Cena. Then Cena gets the rollup pin. That Rollup Pin is dangerous. In the end, Hogan and Cena pose more. It had homoerotic overtones to it. Just sayin'

Midcard Matches...

Rybaxel vs The Usos
Other than the New Age Outlaws on commentary, this match was the same as Smackdown. The NAO was just making excuses and easy heat on commentary is the only reason to watch.

The Most Dangerous move!!!!!!

Big E vs Jack Swagger w/ Zeb Coulter and Cesaro
This match was short with Swagger and Cesaro having a miss-communication. Apparently, Cesaro was supposed to help Swagger by cheap shoting Big E. However, Swagger says he got this in the beginning. Big E gets the most dangerous move "The Rollup." After the match, Zeb Coulter has the Real Muricans shake hands. They shake, but Cesaro is putting a lot of pressure on Swagger's hand. I wouldn't be surprised if Swagger taps out to it. He has lost all of his credibility as a main eventer long ago. So I have one question...what the hell does all this do for the Intercontinental Title? Nothing. Swagger and Big E shouldn't be near it. Cesaro is the only one who should be having it. The other two are low card players.

AJ Lee/Tamina vs The Bella Twins

With Natalya on commentary, this match was well business as usual. I watched the Metal Gear Solid Legacy Collection Trailer during this. I want this. SNAAAAKKKKKEEEE!!!!!

Oh yeah, just take a guess who won. Come on it is as easy to guess than the type of match WWE Universe will vote on later on.

Christian vs Sheamus- Memphis Street Fight
WWE Universe please make your obvious vote on the WWE App. I mean it does the name of the city we are in. Why even have a vote when the choice is obvious? It's just like ones that say, "do you want A) The Great Khali B) Santino Marella or C) Stone Cold Steve Austin to fight in the next match?" So...how was the match? It was...ummm ok?! When you grew up with ECW, Hardcore Matches from both WWF and WCW, and chair shots to the head, you really tend to see the hardcore-like style dumbed down quite a bit.

Ahh...yes! Random objects, head shots with weapons, blood perfect! Back to the match, Christian and Sheamus somewhat uses the weapons on the outside; hell they don't really do much with the drums. It is kind of a let down, after all the drums are the fun part. No guitar head shots also! How did the match end? It was fun with the Brogue Kick through the base drum, but did Sheamus really need to win? The rivalry is all one-sided. I really had hopes for this, but they fucked it up.

The Undertaker appears...

The Undertaker is not amused by how many
followers The Rock and John Cena has

The Undertaker comes out as his usual self. At this point, Lawler and Cole both talk about The Undertaker and Twitter. I'm sorry, but I can't see The Undertaker aka Deadman aka American Badass sitting at a computer talking to fans on the internet. He would probably break his computer. At the same time, have you ever heard Undertaker promote anything? No! He could careless about the WWE App nor will he promote the WWE Network. He doesn't play with that bullshit. That is why he is my favorite wrestler. Before he can talk, Paul Heyman comes out. Paully does what he is good at...mic work. He promotes Wrestlemania and the match with Brock Lesnar. At the same time, Heyman paints both Undertaker and Lesnar as great warriors going to war. Undertaker states one sentence and Heyman is scared out of the ramp. "The fear of death is far greater than the death itself. But the fear of the unknown is the greatest fear of all."—The Undertaker

A Valuable Asset

Roman Reigns/Seth Rollins w/ Dean Ambrose vs The Rhodes Brothers
In the back, Kane and The Shield discuss the problems between Shield members. Kane feels that The Authority is losing an asset in The Shield with their losses. They turn it around on Kane losing to Daniel Bryan. The Shield hopes to gain their dignity back with their first roadblock, "The Rhodes Brothers." This match was good, but not great. It seems as though the brothers has lost some of their charm. However, The Shield has really picked up. Reigns is building his followers, and Seth Rollins is starting to really show off some amazing stunts. Whether they stick together or go their separate ways, I look forward to seeing them more and more. Seth Rollins won with a Curb Stomp.

One of the best things I have seen in a while...

Stephanie McMahon is damn well about as good of a heel as her old man. I love her evil intentions and that spoiled little brat we all grew up with.

She told us that instead of firing Daniel Bryan, she apologizes and wants one back. I couldn't see how Punk turned this down. He would of been just as gifted as if it was Jericho doing the talking. Slowly, we are getting a better mic work from Bryan. 

Either way later on, Daniel Bryan shows off some great mic work and leads the YES! movement into the ring. Whether they were fans or actors, they did a good job. Occupy RAW was operational. Stephanie and Triple H came out to restore order, but they couldn't. They tried yelling, sending security and setting up the next match. Damien Sandow came out to have his match. 

When Sandow couldn't get through, he turned around. Bryan encouraged Sandow to join him.Scared to be future endeavored, Sandow went to leave, but Stephanie yelled at him. Then he disappeared...bye Sandow. Finally, Triple H gave into their match at WM30, but Bryan wasn't done there. He added a stipulation that if he wins, he gets added to the main event. So, we will be seeing Daniel Bryan in the main event of Wrestlemania if he wins.

Big Show/Daniel Bryan vs Batista/Randy Orton

The match was good. There really is no complaints. The buildup for Wrestlemania 30 is great. Batista spearing Orton is something that will be addressed. Hopefully, they will start to rival against each other now. Now out of all of them, I feeling that Orton is being downplayed. Orton has been getting little notice, while Bryan and Batista fight it out. So the match was won by Daniel Bryan with the flying knee. 

Overview

Another good show and I don't see them stopping until after Wrestlemania 30. The buildup and hype is strong. I'm loving it on the Wrestlemania card; we have:

• Triple H vs Daniel Bryan
• John Cena vs Bray Wyatt
• Randy Orton vs Batista with a possible chance of Daniel Bryan added in
• 30-man Battle Royale for the Andre The Giant Trophy
• Brock Lesnar vs The Undertaker

This year Wrestlemania is going to be 4 hours. This is now looking like a must-buy. I know that it will have the Tag Titles up for grabs and the Divas' Title there too. Until I know the actually match I won't place it.

If I were to take a guess at some other matches:

• Dean Ambrose vs Roman Reigns vs Seth Rollins for the US title
• Naomi(if she's cleared) vs AJ Lee vs Nikki Bella vs Natalya for the Divas title
• Cesaro vs Jack Swagger vs Big E(possible) for the Intercontinental title
• The Usos vs The New Age Outlaws for the Tag Team titles

That's it for the show. Any questions or comments let me know. I do have a question for you...What would you like to see on the Wrestlemania 30 card?
