| 0:32.1 | So the first thing we heard on this week's episode of Monday Night Raw is that we were |
| 0:35.5 | going to get a triple threat match to determine a number one contender for Seth Rollins' World Heavyweight Championship, and it was LA Knight taking on Jay Usay, taking on CN Punk, which makes sense because they all hate each other. Also, how great is this? It's Monday afternoon, and I get to do ups and downs. Usually it's like three in the morning or up to three in the morning, or sometimes sleep and I wake up at half five. You don't need to know this information. I'm just telling you. If this episode of Raw feels exceptionally positive coming from me, it could be due to the environment. That's how the world works. Also, my friends, welcome to the show. I watch professional wrestling so you don't have to. The Finger of Power is slightly disdicated at the moment. but actually that's the thumb. This is the finger of power. I've watched Raw from Perth, Australia, mate. Let's give the good bits and up and the bad bits are down. Now, Seth Rollins came out to start the show, dressed like Sherlock Holmes. I thought he was going to save some crimes. And given what was going to happen at the end of this week's episode of Monday Night Raw, this actually made all the sense, because I was watching it, and I was like, hang on a minute, Seth. Not only are you being a little bit patronising to Bronbreaker at Bronseread and Paul Heyman, but he made a very big point of going, man, I did it by myself, that stupid Roman Rains, he needed the shield, he needed the bloodline, Cody Rhodes needed me at WrestleMania 40, and do you know who Seth Rollins needed? No one. Nada, zero, not anyone. So if I was one of the bronze, I'd be like, what am I, man? Like, cheese on the side of the road? I am offended. We also got wanker chance all over the place. I mean, the Perth crowd charged wanker at Seth Rollins, so he called them wankers. And as I told you on SmackDown, wanking does mean masturbation. There's nothing I can do. What do you want me to do? I have to tell you the truth. And if you were going to watch anything from this promo, watch the first thing that Seth Rollins said, I think he was trying to say, I don't know, welcome Perth Australia, or I'm here Perth Australia, but instead just goes, |
| 2:22.8 | Roe, Bert, Australia, I thought he was dead. He also said he was the greatest champion of all time, given what he had done over the weekend, |
| 2:30.7 | which he had done by himself when he got a big Pirate Technics display, and they just left. Nobody interrupted. And by this point, if you were feeling, oh my gosh, I can't believe we're doing this with the vision again, I kind of would have understood it. But yeah, we got a big old twist to row at the end of this show. So it's one of those things you go back watching hindsight. I'm absolutely giving it up because without |
| 2:51.5 | this, the ending wouldn't have worked. They connect together like a jigsaw. Roussef then yelled a Penta because he was so damn mad that Penta was getting an intercontinental title match before Roussaid revealed the next week he gets the winner. So I was like Roooo. I like you a lot. You're a great professional wrestler, but you can just let this one die, man. It's really not a problem. |
| 3:10.4 | Dominic was great here as well because So I like Roooo. I like you a lot. You're a great professional wrestler, but you can just let this one die, man. |
| 3:09.3 | It's really not a problem. Dominic was great here as well because he turned the corner and saw Rusev and then freaked out and left when it was Dominic Mysterio taken on Penta for the intercontinental title. |
| 3:20.0 | Not only did they have such a fun match, they were just flipping and flying all over the place, but this Australian crowd loved Domit Mysterio so much that towards the end they were booing Penta. Do not get me wrong, when Penta made his entrance, they loved him too, but they decided, Nope, Dirty Don, we're on your side, and we'll be on your side for life. There was this really cool part as well when Penta back body dropped Mysterio onto Anna the announced table, which looked horrific. My only slight issue with this match is around about 12 minutes in. Rousseff just stormed to the ring. Why? What does he care? The commentator tried to set like, oh my gosh, he wants to take on Dominic Mysterio, but nothing he did here would have guaranteed that. He got lucky because |
| 3:58.6 | Penta dove on him. We've got three dives of this match. He put three on the dive counter. |
| 4:02.6 | And of course, the Penta was distracted. So put a one on the dick board and Dominic Mysterio |
| 4:07.7 | didn't care. He cheated. He hit the 619. He hit the frog splash, 1, 2, 3. |
| 4:12.8 | He also smacked Penta with a hammer. I believe our |
| 4:16.0 | crime counter-rule was, if it happens within a match, we don't call the police, but, you know, that is a weapon. Nobody cared, though, because the beauty of Dominic Mysterio is that he can do any Guerrero stuff, and not only are people fine with this, they actually want to see it, that's massive kudos to him. |
| 4:30.2 | And yes, next week, it will be Penta, not Penta, |
| 4:33.5 | it will be |
| 4:32.3 | Penta, not Penta, it will be Dominic taking on Rusev. I'm giving it down for Rusev coming out because, man, just figure out a better way to have Penta Luce. He was going to get hit in the head with a hammer. Not everyone needs to walk to the ring, especially when you knew that RooRoo already had any content of title shot. That's me being a nerd, right? Boot that over here. |
| 4:49.8 | It doesn't matter. I am going to give it a to walk to the ring, especially when you knew that Roo Roo already had any content of title shot. |
