Next week, WWE is going to be competing with Monday Night Football. For a build up to next week show they present to the fans, botchamania. Let's start with my favorite part of the whole show, the highlight wheel. Triple H, adding another W in WWE. Of course being the kind of guy that I am, I had fun with it on my twitter timeline. @big_dusty. You can catch it there.
Through out the night WWE showed vignettes of #GrowingupBella which went over like an atheist joke at a church convention. The story would work, if the performers knew how to work. With Brie and Nikki stinking up the joint literally, why push them in our faces. And with that give Nikki a title shot? Word? That storyline needs to end, it doesn't need the title.When something is not working it's best to nip it and call an audible. To involve quality talent like AJ and Paige in that story is dumb. Beyond dumb, actually.
Best part of the show to me was John Cena showing some attitude. I liked the spot at the end where Cena gave Roman the tag so he could get the win. That was best for business. And Cena getting in HHH's face and AAing Seth Rollins on the table while staring HHH and Stephanie down. Too bad that couldn't save the show. As for the rest of the show I'm going to be honest I didn't really watch because i was watching the Miami Hurricanes lose to Louisville. Bleh.
Going by my timeline on Twitter, the rest of the show wasn't that better. I missed Heyman's promo which I'm sure was epic. Heyman has been the highlight of Raw for months. Anyway, Raw is promoting Michael Sam, first openly gay drafted player for the NFL next week. Also for next week Jericho vs Bray Wyatt in a cage. And Roman Reigns vs Randy Orton. Next week has potential, but one would think they would use this week to build up next week.
This reminds me of bad husbands. That screw up week after week, and when they go to far, they bring chocolates and flowers and do everything right thinking that one thing would fix all the issues. Not so. Do right every time. Maybe that makes too much sense.
