RAW Is Currently Setting the Tone...

Greetings Enthusiasts!

How is this Monday going for you?  It’s windy and cold in my neck of the woods, after a warm weekend.  Not uncommon for Southern California in the winter.  Before we get into RAW let us just touch a little bit on SmackDown.  Many may have felt we were made to witness the dragging out of a long played out feud but to me, I feel it was more bringing closure to a matter.  We did have little resolution from the “Dog Food Incident” and payback came full circle last Friday.  As I joked on the Twitters, it was quite clear to be me that they used chili for the most part.  They may have tossed in a can or 2 of actual dog food for some continuity but it looked like a bunch of canned chili to me.  I suppose that’s the smell Baron Corbin could live with.  I wouldn’t be surprised if it takes a while to get the dog food smell out. 

My only note I have on this segment was that at the beginning of the night, Corbin called our representatives of the Bloodline “savages” and I have to say that the WWE may want to rethink how Heels are represented as there’s no way they can condone racist sentiments in this day and age.  Even if this is to get heat from the crowd, the key to being a good Heel is getting people to like you anyway.  I think Samoa Joe and Kevin Owens have found good middle grounds.  A Heel has to be able to gain fans and with that said, you don’t want to cater to fans you can’t support.  I won’t be naïve and think there aren’t a good bit of prejudiced types that love the WWE but it being a global company, it can’t exactly be bothered with that sort of ignorance.  They may just want to watch it with the barbs.  It’s so easy to offend nowadays, even if the players already know the script.   They can tease The Usos about their arrest records or how the lot of them look like they steal purses but we can’t call out anything they can’t help.  And that goes for everybody.  The WWE shouldn’t mind a pruning/purging process when it comes to bad fans anyway.  They know they got a lot of them.

In any cases, when it comes to tonight’s action for RAW it’s hard to say how it will go.  Apparently, there’s a snow storm in effect in Salt Lake City, UT and would-be patrons may simply not be able to get to tonight’s festivities.  I remember one similar night in the past.  I think it was a Connecticut show that got snowed in.  Seeing how with the WWE the show must go on, who knows how they will account for tonight.  What’s circulating is that there’s to be a Triple Threat between, Bobbly Lashley, Ricochet and Seth Rollins to determine the #1 Contender against Brock Lesnar for the Saudi Super Showdown III.  Also, Randy Orton is supposed to explain his big, bad self as we wait for Edge’s test results to see if Edge can still play.   We’ll see how much of that comes to pass.  So, funny tweets will still get retweeted but as for Likes/Favorites, let’s not be too stingy.  Extenuating circumstances and all.  Let’s show we can be reasonable and give them a good faith pass.  Gives SmackDown a chance to catch up.

See You in a Bit,
