WWE Monday Night Raw 4th Jan 10 reviewed

With your special guest host Bret "The Hitman" Hart returning to RAW after 12 years & he calls out HBK to discuss the Screwjob & they bury the hatchet with a handshake then a hug. Bret also calls out Vince but he doesn't come out. Backstage he tells someone he'll call Bret out later. The colour guys announce Divas Champ Melina is injured & has been forced to vacate her title so they'll have an 8 woman event to decide the title. Erm hang on just 1 minute, didn't TNA just do this very same thing mere days ago? Talk about stealing ideas from the competition but thats taking the piss!
1st round Divas Tournament, Maryse vs Brie Bella - Not a very good match at all where Maryse was double teamed left, right & centre, the Bellas did switch near the end but Maryse took the win off the French Kiss (a rather nice looking Inverted DDT).
Fatal 4 Way Match, MVP vs Jack Swagger vs Carlito vs Mark Henry - Neither Carlito or Henry were introduced as the show took a break once Swagger came out & the match was already under way when they came back from commercials. The winner here will become #1 contender for the US Championship, why the fuck should we care who is #1 contender for that joke of a title? Its only the old WCW US TV title anyway. Its never had ANY prestige EVER! Piss poor excuse for a match where MVP won off the Piemaker when Swagger finally decided he'd sell it.
Unified Tag Title Match, Degeneration X vs The Big Show & Chris Jericho - Was Jericho taking the mickey out of Hulk Hogan during this match doing the hand to the ears thing? Extremely poor match, HHH took the win off Jericho after HBK hit Sweet Chin Music meaning Jericho is on his way back to Smackdown.
Non-title match, Sheamus vs Evan Bourne - Not a great match, Sheamus took the win off what Scott Hall used to call the Razors Edge, I assume they haven't given his finisher a name yet? How about The Celtic Cross? (And if you use that WWE I expect to be paid for it!).
The colour guys pay their respects after the recent passing of Dr Death Steve Williams from throat cancer.
Kofi Kingston vs Randy Orton - Kofi had a great match, Orton was so so but Orton took the win off the RKO.
Vince McMahon comes out & refuses to call out Bret Hart, Mike Tyson as next weeks guest host gets no pop at all. Bret comes out anyway & Vince even mentions the punch in the locker room after the Screw Job. Vince says he wants to nominate Stu Hart for the WWE Hall Of Fame this year. The swerve during the celebration (where Vince kicked Bret in the gut) was totally predictable BTW. WWE completely telegraphed that one.
