WWE Monday Night RAW Results for October 1st, 2012

By MarcMiddleton · Monday, October 01, 2012 · 7 Comments

- Tonight's WWE RAW opens up with a look back at last week with CM
Punk and Mick Foley in the ring. We see John Cena attacking Punk with
the steel pipe at the end of the show and then Ryback confronting Punk
after he beat Foley down backstage.

- We're live from the
Chesapeake Energy Arena in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. The pyro goes off as
Michael Cole welcomes us to RAW. He's joined by hometown hero Jim Ross.

-
We go to the ring and out comes WWE Champion CM Punk to a mixed
reaction. Paul Heyman comes out behind him holding the WWE Title belt.

Cole
mentions that it's, Jim Ross Appreciation Night tonight and Ross feels
honored. Heyman raises the title belt as Punk begins to speak. Punk
brings up Cena attacking him with the pipe last week. Punk rips the
local fans and says Cena showed the actions of a coward. Punk says then
he went backstage looking for a doctor but Mick Foley shot him a
disrespectful look and said something under his breath. Punk calls Foley
a coward. Punk said he did what any man would have done - he put Foley
down and kicked him like the dog he is. Punk goes on and says Mrs. Foley
should have taught Mick some manners. Punk says some of Foley's words
got to him over the past week and he spent time thinking about his
stance. Punk is out here to announce that at Hell In a Cell, he will not
be facing John Cena.

Punk and Heyman have some private words.
Heyman says he and Punk would now like to move on to another piece of
business. Heyman shows footage from last week of his wedding proposal to
RAW General Manager AJ Lee. Heyman points out that AJ never said no.
Heyman says what AJ did do is violate an edict from the WWE Board of
Directors. Heyman pulls out the statement from the Board about AJ's
actions. AJ was not to put her hands on any Superstar, manager or anyone
else, ever again. Heyman says he and Punk believe that AJ must be
removed as GM immediately. Heyman proposes that he take her place.
Vickie Guerrero comes out and the crowd erupts. She has Dolph Ziggler
with her.

Vickie talks about how they have been victims of AJ's
power abuse lately. She shows footage from two months ago where she
begged that the Board take AJ's job from her, leading to AJ coming out
and attacking her. Heyman says this is about Punk, not Vickie. Vickie
introduces herself and Dolph. Heyman takes a shot at Ziggler and puts
Punk over. Ziggler says they can all agree that AJ is the sole reason
for all their problems. Ziggler has the idea of Heyman and Guerrero
being co-GM's of RAW. The crowd boos. AJ's music hits and out she comes.
AJ says the Board has placed her on probation. She knew she wasn't
supposed to touch anyone but she thought they would make an exception
for a poor excuse of a man like Heyman. AJ says she has been appointed a
coach to help her. Out comes one-half of the WWE Tag Team Champions
Daniel Bryan.

Bryan comes out and says it's obvious AJ's mental
issues have got worse since he dumped her. Bryan twists his mustache and
says he's one hell of a catch. Bryan puts himself over which leads to
him yelling that he's the tag team champions. The stage explodes and out
comes his partner Kane. Kane says everyone has forgot one thing about
AJ - she's a phenomenal kisser. Kane says everything else Bryan said is
true except one thing... he is the tag team champions. They start
arguing about who is the tag team champions. Punk raises his WWE Title
belt and yells while Ziggler holds up his briefcase. AJ starts screaming
that they stop and they all do. AJ says this is her show and the crowd
pops. AJ announces Punk and Ziggler vs. Team Hell No for tonight. She
skips away while everyone else argues.

- Still to come tonight, a World Championship Debate with Booker T, Sheamus and Big Show.

most challenging aspect of each opponent. Sheamus says he's most
looking forward to the fight in this match. He talks about he's never
faced a bigger and stronger opponent than Big Show. Sheamus says he has
bad breath and body odor but his biggest concern is the match lasts over
45 seconds. Show gets upset now and says he smells fantastic. The next
question is about who has the most devastating finisher. Show's podium
just falls apart so he plays it off and knocks it down. Show asks if he
can get another podium. This whole thing is starting to fall apart.
Sheamus shows a Tout video of him wearing a Rey Mysterio mask. He says
it's his cousin. Booker tells Sheamus this is a serious debate. Show
says his patience only goes so far. Sheamus keeps rubbing in that Show

Hall of Famer Jim Ross for some appreciation. Ross comes out from the

Champion CM Punk comes out with Paul Heyman right behind him.

Punk
takes the mic from Cole and tells him to get out of the ring. The crowd
boos Punk. Punk wants the fans to chant for JR and they do. Punk says
JR is the best announcer we have and he respects and appreciates the
hell out of him. Punk says the fans don't know the first thing about
respect. Punk talks about how he comes out each week and people twist
what he says. Punk puts his arm around JR and says he's going to help
Punk teach everyone about respect. Punk wants JR to tell everyone that
he's the best in the world.

JR says he's glad Punk didn't come out
to embarrass him. JR says Punk has done a good job lately of making an
ass out of himself. This upsets Punk and Heyman. Punk says he's
disappointed in JR. Punk goes on and gets in JR's face. Punk wonders if
Steve Austin will come to JR's help. Punk says nobody will - not Austin
or Jerry Lawler. Punk says 3:16 used to mean something else but now it
means the number of days he has held the WWE Title. Punk says JR belongs
to him right now. Punk wants JR to tell the fans he's the best. JR
refuses. JR says he has called matches with the best in the world - guys
like Shawn Michaels, Bret Hart, Triple H, The Undertaker. Ross says
Austin and all those men have one thing in common - they didn't ask to
be called the best in the world. JR says he would have anyway because
they earned that distinction. JR says here's the bottom line, no
disrespect, just being honest... Ross suggests Punk accept Cena's
challenge for Hell In a Cell and kick his ass. If he does that, Ross
will be the first one to call him the best in the world. Until then, JR
says they have nothing to talk about. The crowd pops.

right now and in that, men fight, Punk says he's never ran from a fight
but if JR is smart, he will run right now. Punk says this just turned
ugly for JR. If he doesn't put his hands up and defend himself. Punk
will knock him into next week and hurt him, Punk will make sure he never
commentates another match. Punk tells JR to fight or run. JR drops the
mic and goes to walk away. Punk stops him and asks where he's going.
Punk grabs JR by his coat and continues running him down. Punk says JR
is off commentary tonight. Punk tells JR to keep his mouth shut and make
a walk of shame up the ramp. JR walks off. Punk says JR isn't a Hall of
Famer, he's a joke. Punk continues running Ross down as he walks off.
Ryback's music hits and out he comes to a big pop.

Ryback leads JR
back to the ring and they enter. Ryback stares Punk down and circles.
Punk stares back and the crowd chants "feed me more." Punk finally backs
down and exits the ring as the crowd pops. Punk raises the WWE Title
belt and declares he's the best in the world.

What is a phenomena? Perhaps you meant phenomenon....

Decent over all Raw, it has been much more interesting lately... I do find that 3 hours is a little long to sit through though... Not sure I like the extended hours...

Boy, you dolts will eat anything they shovel down your gullet, won't you? This MNR was hardly "decent overall". It was the same abomination it always is.

It amazes me how the WWE has reduced itself to running the same exact program week after week with only slight variations to the format. It starts with a 20-minute opening segment that features recaps from the previous week and nothing by way of storyline advancement in any sense of the word. A Kane/Danielson vs. Punk/Ziggler match? Really? Is the expert GM skills some of you have sworn AJ Lee has?

She's a hot piece of ass for sure. No doubt about it. But her acting skills are f*cking godawful, as evidenced by her awkward, pointless backstage "coaching" skits that drew absolutely ZERO reaction from the fans in attendance.

The "debate" between Show and Sheamus was another pointless endeavor. Boring, unoriginal and anti-climatic in every sense of the imagination. Plus, Show had all the time in the world to come from behind and nail Sheamus with the knockout punch while Sheamus posed on the ramp after his match with Sandow. But that didn't happen either because I guess it would make too much sense.

The tag team title tournament is a complete waste of time, too. Just a bunch of random guys with no spot on the program being thrown together to make it look like the tag team division has some life in it. Everyone knows Sandow and Rhodes are going to beat Mysterio and Cara in the finals and start a lengthy feud with the completely mismatched tag team of Kane and Danielson. Their retarded "I'm the tag team champions" gimmick is neither funny nor engaging. It's just stupid. Like every one of Cult's posts.

Albert Del Rio is another one stuck in the Twilight Zone. He repeatedly gets his ass beat in every main event match he wrestles in, and then dominates mid-card talent like Ryder, Kingston and Santino. Always winning with that stupid armbreaker hold. In a few weeks, he'll be back in another pointless feud with Sheamus, get his ass beat across seven consecutive ppvs, and continue to pick up the same win over the same guys on the weekly shows. I SEE WHAT YOU'RE DOING, VINCE. BUT YOU'RE NOT FOOLING ANYBODY. NOBODY BELIEVES DEL RIO IS A MAIN EVENT PLAYER ANYMORE.

Fail. Just like Goldber...Ryback failed to properly execute his finisher on Fat Matt Tensai last night. Like that botchfest wasn't obvious. Fat Matt Tensai = jobber to the stars. Boy, I called that one from the jump.

For all of its many failures this week, Raw did have a few bright spots. I loved watching Castiglioni flatten that fat f*ck Brodus Clay like the b*tch he is, or watching three far superior wrestlers and entertainers like Slater, McIntyre and Mahal destroy a worthless cartoon character like Santino. Feed us more of that sh*t! THAT'S what real fans want to see.
