Raw’s 1000 episode was
one of the best, WWE show’s we have seen in a while. They gave us returning
legends like Vader, Sid Vicious, Diamond Dallas Page, Roddy Piper, and many
more. But the biggest return was the reunion between the leaders of the
Attitude Era, Degeneration X (DX). When they announce a DX reunion, for the 1000
episode, I thought we were in store for another Triple H & Shawn Michaels
segment, but when I saw “The Road Dog” Jesse James, “Badass” Billy Gun and
X-Pac in that jeep, I went crazy.
This group was one of the greatest Stables of
all-time; they helped the WWE beat WCW during the Monday Night Wars. Those
three guys had a lot to do with their success as a group and they created
memorable moments for the fans of the WWE. But there was one member left out,
Chyna. I understand that her career choice has made her an outcast, but if she
would have walkout with the rest of the group, I know the crowed would have
gone bananas.
The Undertaker also
made a special appearance on the 1000 episode of Raw. He reunited with his
brother Kane to take on the new and improve Job Squad, Curti Hawkins, Tyler
Reks, Hunico, Drew Mcintyre, Camacho, and the leader of this band of misfits,
was Jinder Mahal. I guess Mahal thought they can make a name for themselves on
this special night but his plan back fired. They walked into the ring with Brothers
of Destruction and became victims.
We also saw Trish
Stratus in the locker room area teaching Tripe H, Yoga. It is so funny how DDP
also has a Yoga tape out, but I don’t see WWE promoting that. I am just saying,
it another observation of mine. Heath Slater also challenges any legends in the
back to a match, and who answers his challenge one of the best Divas of all
times, Lita. But Lita hired herself a little protection, she hired the APA
(John Bradshaw Lakefield & Ron Simmons). I really don’t agree with these
humiliating matches that Slater is being forced to compete in; I guess this is
the pay back for making the WWE look bad back in 2011. What’s up with our new
Raw GM, AJ? I guess the WWE didn’t have anyone in particular to place in this role,
so they gave it to any random Diva!
The show was good and
if I have to rate it I would give it an 8.5. I would had loved to see more
legends return, like Batista, Goldberg, and Ric Flair. The reason why I didn’t
rate it any higher was because Stone Clod Steve Austin couldn’t make an
appearance. The reason why Austin couldn’t make it to the show was because he underwent
a major knee surgery, three weeks ago. He was missed and I actually wanted
Austin & Vince McMahon in the ring for another memorable moment. I hope the
WWE keeps the momentum going and their show gets better week after week.
