Monday Night Raw Match Three:
Batista vs. Chris Jericho
Y2J is back in the ring after headlining the best match of Judgment Day 2008. He’s facing Batista a/k/a the best WWE wrestler not to participate in last night’s PPV. He’s tanned, he rested, and he’s ready. The winner will face Shawn Michaels in a stretcher match at the next Pay Per View that we will be tempted to buy but probably won’t. The match has a promising start but Y2J is feigning a knee injury (IRONY ALERT!) and we go to commercial.
We’re back and reminded that there’s no one wilier than Jericho. He ducks a headlong sprint attack from the Animal and Batista harmlessly falls to the outside of the ring. It’s now Batista’s turn to pretend that his leg hurts. Y2J does the requisite “work his supposedly hurt leg and extend the match’s time”.
Y2J is in another doozy of a match. He hits a single-leg Boston crab hoping to torture Batista into submission but the Animal is slowly inching his way to the rope. Full disclosure I’ve always thought that touch the rope = quit the hold thing was wrong.
Jericho hits his own ingenious rope-induced Batista Bomb counter move but is hit with an unfortunate clothesline. The match could go on all night as far as we’re concerned. But it doesn’t. The Animal catches Y2J mid-air in an overly homoerotic position before Batista bombing Jericho into misery and ensuring the three count.
The Heartbreak Kid emerges to stare down his past and future opponents. These three are the best RAW is offering right now.
Match Rating: A
