Michael Cole and Jim Ross welcome us to Raw and run down our card. And right out of the gate we are joined by an E. Stan Kroenke impersonator, the owner of the Denver Nuggets.

Judgment Day 2009

Judgment Day 2009
May 17, 2009
Allstate Arena
Chicago, IL

Announcers: The teams of: Todd Grisham & Jim Ross, Josh Matthews & Matt Striker, and Michael Cole & Jerry Lawler

Here we are now into another stretch of bang, bang, bang shows only three weeks apart. I’m not really that excited going into this one as although it looks on paper to be a solid show, there’s also nothing that really stands out. I’m expecting the most out of Jericho/Mysterio since they’ve done good stuff together in the past, and Jericho will do all he can to make the story meaningful. Benjamin/Morrison also looks like a potential show stealer, but the rest looks more like “Been there, done that”. So let’s see what we get out of Judgment Day 2009. Read the rest of this entry

Backlash 2009

Backlash 2009
April 26, 2009
Dunkin’ Donuts Center
Providence, RI

Announcers: Michael Cole, Jim Ross, & Jerry “The King” Lawler

With only three weeks since Wrestlemania, and the Draft being given a great deal of attention in the interim, Backlash seems like it may well be an afterthought.  The card that was announced did look good going into the show though and for some reason Backlash seems to almost always deliver, so I’m actually excited for it.
