WWE Monday Night Raw 14th Apr 08 reviewed

Tonights show coming from London, England from the O2 arena better known as The Millenium Dome! The show opens with HBK boring us on the mic.

#1 Contender Tag Team Match, Santino Marella & Carlito (how the f**k are they in this match, they've been a tagteam all of a week or so?) vs Brian Kendrick & Paul London. Well the other team deserve to be here on account of how they beat the champions recently. Carlito took the win that his team really didn't deserve or put any work into.

Womens Championship Match, Mickie James vs Beth Phoenix. I'm not sure who was putting who over better here, they were both working really well. After that nasty submission Phoenix did, James made a decent comeback attempt and got a great win off a fantastic rollup to become the new Womens Champion.

JTG (from Cryme Tyme) vs Trevor Murdoch. Both of them brought their Tag partners to ringside so it may as well have been a tag match. Well this was f**king awful & over quickly with JTG taking a c***py win.

Randy Orton vs William Regal. Did anyone really believe for even a femto-second that Orton would job to Regal in his home country? Nope, me neither. Orton won off the RKO. No shock there really. Regal was on top for most of this, is this a possible comeback for him?

Intercontinental Championship Match, Umaga vs Chris Jericho. I guess nobody doubted Y2J wouldn't win here. He got his win with the help of the ropes. Scrappy match to be honest.

Hacksaw Jim Duggan vs Paul Burchill. I assume they thought Burchill would get over in his home country with Duggan jobbing? Burchill may have taken the win but he certainly wasn't getting any kind of welcome home from the Brits.

HHH vs JBL. This match is just a case of either who you hate more or who you care less about. Frankly I'm amazed it was the main event of the night. The women had already taken care of that. This was c**p! It really didn't need the run-in by Orton either (BTW, Why did the ref go and get the belt and bring it in the ring? He should have been calling for the bell and a DQ on outside interference with the win to HHH). The ref made no attempt to ever call for a bell or try to stop this. What's the point of a main event with no finish? Even as a set-up for Backlash this was still UTTER S**T!
