Nick’s 12/14 Raw Review: The Good, The Bad & The Wrestling

It was also interesting to see Jeff Hardy win the Extreme Moment of the Year award. I’m not surprised that he was nominated, as it clearly was the most extreme moment of 2009, but I was shocked to see WWE make light of Hardy’s existence by having him actually win the statue. A nice touch was having the acceptance speech crashed by Carlito. This guy is hilarious, and a true waste of golden talent in WWE. He had some hilarious lines during his "acceptance" speech, and you might have to go back and listen to them again as it was hard to hear coming through the deafening snores of the abysmally moronic crowd last night. I guess Carlito needed to sling a couple of poo and pee jokes their way to get them laughing. Hey, if all Michael Cole had to do after the embarrassing moment he had at the podium was yell "hook ’em horns," then yes, this crowd is very slow.

The tease of Bret Hart hosting Raw was brilliant. Miller and McMahon worked very well together in this segment, and Vince played his part perfectly by simply walking off the stage when Miller asked the live crowd what they thought of Hart hosting the show. If WWE is going after Bret for the January 4th show then it’s a very smart move, because they are going to need something huge to counter what I believe will be the most watched wrestling program that night, TNA Impact. Nevertheless, the segment last night on Raw was very well done, and Miller came off actually looking like he knew who Bret Hart was.
