No Pressure. RAW Airs Live Across the USA...
How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?
Enjoying
the Olympics? It’s different without the fans but at least the employees/volunteers, athletes and everyone else who can are watching. Maybe press too. There’s some scant
participation but it is strange. This is the first Olympics I haven’t been
glued to the TV for. Last Olympics I had it on all day every day until the
Closing Ceremony. This time around, I’m just checking in from time to time, catching
up here and there. It’s weird. But I kinda get it. They postponed and the
Winter Olympics are next year. Gotta knock it out now or never.
Well,
as far as the wrestling world goes there are a few things going on. It’s not as
thought-provoking as the recent rumors but it’s something.
First
bit that stuck out was word is that Jeff Hardy caught the COVID. Now, if
he’s sick with it or just tested positive hasn’t been confirmed or denied just
yet but my first thought is how real is this? It’s believable if he’s positive.
That’s the crux of things reopening. The virus didn’t go away, we just may be
generally better prepared for it. Though there’s this Delta variant floating
around and a Lambda on its heels that’s just proof that we may have to live
with this cold on steroids. Someone’s bound to catch it but at the same time,
that’s why I kinda challenge it. I don’t need to be right here it’s just given
the timing, it seems more strategic than bum luck but who knows. This industry
makes you paranoid.
But
that does take me to the next bit of talk circulating. A lot of people didn’t
like Karrion Kross’ debut. No Scarlet, no smoke machine, what was the point? Well,
if he showed up on NXT after there should be a longer range plan but you never
know with WWE. They could just drop it altogether. It did seem a bit premature,
to be honest. Maybe the idea was to have a counter for Finn Bálor come Survivor
Series. Make it seem like Kross will hunt him down for all eternity or
something. I don’t know. It’s just we know how flippant WWE can be. They just
say eff-it and go to the next one on the call-up list. We shall see. All I’m
gonna say is that if they keep Kross on the main roster, they need to figure
out the smoke machine entrance. So far, that’s the best thing about him.
So
that kinda brings us to tonight. This is going to be the first of 2 special RAWs because it’s airing live on both
coasts due to the Olympics. Thankfully, I’ll be able to watch. It’s kinda
weird. It switches up my whole night. I’ll be done by 8pm. I can do other things.
Since my household cut the cord, I can watch live if I so please but I prefer
the 8pm airing. Wraps up my night kinda thing. Now, I have to fill it with
something else.
In
any case, RAW will address some
questions tonight. Nikki “ASH” Cross has her sights set on some dream
contenders. She wants Becky Lynch. Charlotte and Rhea Ripley may have some
things to say about that. Will Lynch oblige us with a promo? The Viking Raiders make another play for the Tag Team Titles. And will Bobby Lashley squash
all this Goldberg noise? Roman Reigns said no thank you, why can’t he? We’ll
have to tune in and see. Funny tweets and Likes get retweeted. We can see that RAW is trying. SmackDown was quite solid. It’s going in a direction I always thought
they should have gone in. Challenging times are knocking some sense into
people. That’s usually what it takes. Don’t let them have it unless they
deserve it.
See
You in a Bit,
