Top 5 Monday Night Raw Segments

Intro

Ok, guys I'm having to start off with an apology, my EE TV box decided to turn heel on me, and only recorded the first hour of Monday Night Raw, this is a nightmare, if you're trying to get into the reviewing game. The one thing that I've prided myself on is giving you guys, the best reviews on the web, but sometimes, these things happen, so instead i'm going to give you guys a top 5 list, basically i'm doing a Dwayne johnson, and i'm piveting, and i'm going to create something special, because when life gives you lemons, you create Diet Coke. Once again, my apologies.

   5 John Cena Dis Track of Dwayne Johnson

As the year long build towards Wrestlemania 28 was bubbling, in the late part of 2011, both. The Rock, and. Cena, had divided fans down the middle, but It was cena's rap segment, that to me, stole my senses. His delivery was flawless, and his energy, was palpable, love him or hate him, Cena is one of the best on the mic.

4 Austin vs Tyson

With Wrestlemania 14 looming on the horizon, he who shall not be named, needed a special guest enforcer. Enter stage left, one of the controversial men to ever enter the boxing ring. Iron Mike Tyson. Before he could even say a Word, out came the Bionic Redneck Stone Cold Steve Austin. This was electric. Austin cut a promo that cut straight to the point. Tyson was in Austins ring, and that wasn't ok with The Texas Rattlesnake, a fight broke out, and it was on, I loved this as an 11 year old, and I love it as a 37 year old. Man I love looking back on things like this.

3 This Is Your Life

Were do I begin with segment, the humour, flawless, the timing, all over the place, but my god this was vital. Mick Foley, and. The Rock on this night in september 1999, created a perfect blend that has never been bettered, or perfected. I think this still holds up, but, this is just my opinion. From yirple the clown. The Rocks home ec teacher, his gym teacher, and of course his High school girlfriend, who didn't let sample some of her, well, you know. This segment is a perfect example of how comedy, can bring the best out of two comedic talents. This is a must watch.

2 The Festival Of Friendship

Again, this is another fantastic example, of how comedy, can mix with reality, this happened in the build up to Wrestlemania 33, and it was great. Chris Jericho, and. Kevin Owens, were perfect foils for each other, it was the perfect blend of comedy, gullableness, Las Vegas Cheese, and dodgy pressents, and it was great to see. It was timed perfectly, and has become a standout moment in the history of WWE's Monday Night Broadcasts.

The Trial Of Sami Zayn

With WWE's plans having to undergo a facelift, what they came up with, was nothing short of creative genius. I was starting out in the reviewing game when this came out, and as a fan of wrestling for over 30 years. This. Is, by far the greatest segment, to have ever graced Monday Nights, from the backdrop of mistrust, and superb belivibility, as the WWE headed into The Royal Rumble, this was, the perfect balance of tension, and drama, being portrayed on a weekly wrestling show. Over the past 2 years, I have been a massive fan of HHH's, slow and passive build, when it comes to big shows, what unfolded on this night, would act as a look into the window, of what is later to come, down the line, from the balance of tension, and well brought up storytelling, watching Sami Zayn live his life, on the balance of a switchblade, made for compulsive viewing, at the hands of the group that showed him acceptance, and love, and how their leader, and our Tribal Chief Roman Reigns, groomed him into abstruct behaviour, this made for some of the best tv, that WWE has ever produced, because if you build him up, then at some point, he must fall. This segment is perfection, enough said.
