Legit Action on RAW
by theminister on 6/24/08 7:13 PM
I have to admit I am a mark for legit stuff when it happens on a live wrestling show. RAW was great yesterday because the draft added a legit feel to the show. Then there were some legit incidents that made the show more intriguing.
First off, how PO'ed was JR? His reaction was priceless. At the time I thought he was acting, but it turns out that it was a legit reaction. He had no clue that he was getting moved and on his blog he said he thought about quitting. The JR surprise was the best moment of the draft.
Secondly, I don't like to see people get hurt but I have to admit that the botched spear between Edge and Batista during the Battle Royal was awesome. They both seemed to recover but Batista was a mess and clearly out of it for several minutes. I wouldn't be surprised if he had a concussion. Edge seemed to be in better condition after the botch. I'm not sure who messed up there. But clearly only one of those guys was supposed to go for the spear.
On a more serious note, I thought Melina broke her ankle. Hopefully it's just a bad sprain. Melina is a good athlete but that's a long fall and those boots don't seem like they have much support. It seems to me that you just can't have "models" performing stunts like that. Candace Michele was hurt on a top rope move and now Melina.
I'm not sure if all the rips of Adamle were legit or planned but if they were legit they were well deserved.
Please comment on any or all of the items mentioned.

I'm a major mark for legit stuff as well and seeing JR's expression I just had a feeling that it was legit and I was right, as for the Edge and Batista botch, it looked painful! Batista was clearly out of it and I thought he was just gonna eliminate himself but he hung in there which I commend him for. On a sadder note, I hated seeing Melina carried out like that, it seems like these Divas are trying to do more stuff than their physically capable of and I know she couldn't help spraining her ankle but it still came off like a total ripoff of a future great tag match that could have been but...oh well.

Tazz sounded legitimately pissed off about ECW losing both Punk and Kane.
I didn't think the double-spear spot was botched. It looked planned to me, because Edge was charging at Batista a long time before Batista ducked to charge as well. This meant that Batista had time to see him coming before lowering his head himself for them to clash.
