Whether it's because of the impending build-up toward WrestleMania, the company being willing
to try new stuff as ratings take their inevitable football season dive, or just
some type of rare alignment of the planets, Monday
Night Raw has been pretty damn solid lately. This week, more awesome
Jericho trolling, the much-anticipated arrival of Brodus Clay, three solid
matches and mercifully, not a single Divas contest. In fact, pretty much the
only thing I didn't like about the show was the Cena/Kane/Ryder/Eve angle...which
unfortunately both started and ended the program.
To find out my thoughts on the above, the first batch of 2012
Hall of Fame inductees, and most importantly, who won the coveted Shitterson
Match of the Night Award, keep reading as I run down the good, bad and
downright ugly moments from this week's show. Then, make sure to tell everyone
about the article on Twitter, share it on Facebook and come follow me on
Twitter, where I babble about comic books, wrestling and devil music throughout
the week. Oh, and for good measure, you also better call my mama.
Finally, if you haven't checked it out already, make sure to
read my "Straight Shoot" column from last week: Straight Shoot: Chris Jericho Is A New Type of Heel,
where I take a closer look at Jericho's return. And keep an eye out for this Thursday's
column, as I look back at what might be the best match of 2011.
