4 Ups And 6 Downs From WWE Raw (June 20)
UPS…
4. Omos Has Bearable Match
It’s sad we have to rate Omos’ matches like this, but he’s never going to have four-star classics, or probably anything approaching three stars. He’s a spectacle, and that’s about it.
So the fact he had a tolerable match against Riddle Monday night is a testament to Riddle’s magnetism and ability to play against Omos’ strengths. The result was a hot crowd who wanted to see the Original Bro succeed but unable to overcome the brute strength of the Nigerian Giant.
To his credit, Omos moved around a bit better this time out and looked almost mobile. That’s not to say that we should expect him to execute a drop toehold or some chain wrestling, but it was refreshing to see him not look like a slug.
We’ll see in a couple weeks whether putting Omos in a ladder match was a good idea or if it’s a disaster, but for now, we’ll give it a try.
