4 Ups And 4 Downs From Last Night's WWE Raw

The Rock makes a surprise return to take down Rusev.

What do Los Matadores and Rusev have in common? They both shared the ring with a bull on Monday night. In back-to-back segments. If nothing else, Monday Night Raw has become reflective of the holiday season that is just around the corner, Halloween. Much like Frankenstein€™s monster, the program seems as if it has been stitched and meshed together from completely unrelated parts into a living, breathing entity. Consider that immediately after two daytime talk show hosts were carried off by PG partygoers, the ultra-creepy Wyatt Family delivered a chilling promo. Then there were the aforementioned back-to-back segments involving a little person in a bull costume and a legend nicknamed the Brahma Bull. Raw can€™t decide if it wants to entertain children or court an older audience that wants more realism in their wrestling in 2014, maybe a little bit of attitude. WWE doesn€™t hesitate to reach back to grab one of the best tag teams of the Attitude Era or bring back one of its top headliners of the last generation, but they can€™t seem to stop imposing self-inflicting wounds. But the bottom line here is, could the absolutely shocking and electrifying appearance of the Great One be enough to make Raw watchable? Click along to find out.

He fortunately became a fan in time for WrestleMania III and came back as a fan after a long high school hiatus before WM XIV. Monday nights in the Carlson household are reserved for viewing Raw -- for better or worse.
