Raw review, 4/6

First things first: Wrestlemania 25. I was severely disappointed. If I had to grade it, it'd get a C -- and that is thanks solely to the epic match between Shawn Michaels and the Undertaker. I mean, that was one of the best matches I've seen in a awhile, I couldn't count how many times one of us exclaimed "oh, shit!"

After that, not much else was very impressive. The MITB was solid, but a few missed spots brought it down. Both title matches were average, and it's a damn shame Triple H kept the belt. Maybe they're going somewhere with this, but it seems like Randy Orton was robbed and that they almost abandoned the Legacy storyline. We'll see. By the way, the ending was horrible. No blood? One pedigree? Trips is supposed to have all this rage, and that's all he does? No pedigree through a table? Weak sauce.

The Hardy's match was bleh, but I liked the ending. The Jericho vs. Legends match was alright, although Ricky Steamboat was incredible. Thank god for the comedy gold that is Santino Marella. And don't even get me started on the crap the Intercontinental Title match was, or the fact they made the Tag Title Unification match a dark match.

Anyway, on to Raw.

We begin with Randy Orton cutting a promo -- he keeps getting better every time out. I agree Randy, you got hosed. Vince comes out and announces a six-man tag match for Backlash: Legacy vs. Triple H, Vince and Shane McMahon. And now a match for tonight with Vince vs. Orton. Eh, wait and see I suppose.

Now the match I wanted to see last night, The Colons vs. Miz and Morrison for the unified tag titles. Damn Vince for his hatred of the tag division. Solid match -- as always with both of these teams -- and Carlito and Primo get the win. I feel like Miz and Morrison may be splitting soon.

The annual draft is next week, that's always a fun one to watch. We get one week to see some Wrestlemania storylines either wrap up or continue, then the draft to shake things up.

Big ass tag match between a bunch of folks from last night. Hmm, Edge seems to be getting a pop from the Houston crowd. I've always liked Edge, especially as a heel (although I wish they'd take him away from Vickie). john Cena comes in to his usual mixed reaction. Awesome, the fans are chanting "you still got it" when Steamboat gets in. The face team wins when Mysterio get the pin over Chris Jericho. The Dragon gets a curtain call, one that he deserves. Side note: I smell a heel turn coming for CM Punk, just a hunch.

Oh joy, Vickie Guerrero... and she announces she's becoming the permanent GM for Raw. Yippie. She also announces that Edge will have a rematch with John Cena for the World Heavyweight Championship at Backlash, and it will be a Last Man Standing match. She also says that the Legacy/McMahons six-man tag match will now be a title match. If Legacy gets the win, Orton gets the belt. If Vince, Shane and HHH get the win, Trips keeps his belt. Wonder who they'll get to be Smackdown GM now? We were talking about this last night, and Stone Cold would be perfect. Great mic skills, could come in and stun some folks every now and then, everybody's happy.

Commerical for a new show, WWE Superstars.

And now, Santinoa! This is pure comedy brilliance. Ha, now Beth Phoenix challenges him/her to a match. Michael Cole is doing his best Jimmy Fallon impression, as he can't even contain himself. Santina wins!

Main event time, Orton vs. Vinny Mac. The match ends with the expected run ins from Shane, Triple H and Legacy. But, hats off to WWE for a good twist with Batista making his return to take out Legacy. And, he'll take Vince's place at Backlash. Remember, it was Orton who put Batista out of action in December. Interesting move, now Orton has revenge on his mind against HHH, but Batista wants vengeance on Orton.

Decent post-Mania edition of Raw. The draft special next week should give us a better idea of what storylines are gonna carry out in the coming weeks.
