RAW Thinks It Got It! This Could Work....

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?

I got front row seats to a brush fire.  They’re quite common in SoCal. It wasn’t that big.  Anyway, we are gathered again tonight to witness WWE’s RAW offering. As you probably know, these are some interesting times as rival factions continue to make their play for wrestling fans.  AEW continues to make strides and I hear that New Japan is making a play for American markets.  That may not take as well because they tend to “really wrestle”.  Not to say that the matches aren’t still booked and decided beforehand but the outcomes and matches look actually wrestled and I’m not sure that the American palate will adapt.  People will either like it or they won’t.  We’re used to more showy displays. They’re almost like Olympic style.  We’ll see how it takes.

As for the WWE Universe, they have to reestablish themselves as leader of the pack.  I think AEW is doing that for the most part ratings wise yet, WWE has its street-cred to worry about and it definitely doesn’t like to be viewed as second fiddle.  SmackDown was solid last Friday so, RAW has to somehow keep the party going.  From the looks of it, they initially plan to do that with some more lead-up to Crown Jewel III.  Can’t say I know what to expect there but I doubt it will be too different from their other exhibitions.  More than likely what happens there, stays there.  Also, suppose this is a good place to mention there are some injuries plaguing the roster.  Apparently there was a bit of an Australian tour this past week and word is Erick Rowan and Xavier Woods suffered injuries.  Woods’ sounds the most serious.  We may not see him for a couple months.  Looks like The New Day minus 1 will be on tag team duty until further notice. Don’t think this will disrupt what’s already planned for Crown Jewel but I guess we now know who not to expect.

Aside from that, the Street Profits are going to actually get in the ring as opposed to playing our boisterous narrators.  And Seth Rollins is going to take a moment to “explain himself”.  I really don’t know what that means but we’ll see if we sit for it.  Get a feeling this will get “Fiendishly Interrupted”, we’ll have to wait and see if that’s a good thing.  Funny tweets get retweeted and as for Likes/Favorites well, we’re heading into an exhibition in the form of Crown Jewel so we don’t have to be too exacting but we shouldn’t lie if we’re not entertained.  Aim for constructive criticism.  We’re trying to improve the product not troll it…unless it’s in good taste 😉

See You in a Bit,
