RAW: FROM THE CORNER OF MY EYE ON MUTE - 01/18/10

Somehow I'm not shocked that it looks just as bad this way too!

So this review won't be completely fair since I was watching it like a bit of a mongoloid.

... or maybe that makes it more valid.

EITHER WAY HERE WE GOOOO

LIKED

- Taker/HBK promo to kick off the show. Felt like the best thing to happen on the show. I was surprised by 'Taker's answer, but I think it fits the story in two ways - 1) The rematch not happening (I'm sticking to this), and 2) The Triple H/HBK split being teased at the end.

- Vince cutting down Bret once again. I can't help but love Vince when he's on.

- John Heder playing the heel to a tee. To a.. T. To a... whatever the expression is. HE DID A GOOD JOB.

- The Kofi/Cena vs. Legacy tag match looked good from the corner of my eye. Crowd seemed like they were going bonkers.

- The show-closing promo was pretty good, but again, I was half watching.

DID NOT LIKE

- Pretty sure if you told me ten years ago that DX would come to the ring accompanied by, in all seriousness, a leprechaun and Nash Bridges, I'd slap you across the mouth and tell you to never speak ill of the DX I love again.

- Evan Bourne being another footnote on the show. It's great for Sheamus to look tough and all, but... I dunno. The match was such an afterthought for Randy Orton to sleepwalk to the ring and stare at our ginger champ.

- The finish to the main event was pretty awesome. The more wins Hornswoggle can rack up under his belt, the better he'll look as a contender.

- The old "you're not fighting me - you're fighting (gasp) MARK HENRY!" trick that seems to happen once a week.

- Continuing that thought - Jack Swagger playing the Santino role (losing every week so we can laugh lollz!!) when Santino should probably be playing that role. (Sorry Santino I love you).

- Michael Cole

Best thing I saw all show was Impact spoilers. And for all the wrong reasons.
