9 Ups And 7 Downs From Last Night's WWE Raw (March 7th)
6. Big Guy/Masked Guy
So this really looks like its happening, doesnt it? Rumors started swirling recently that Kalisto would defend the United States Championship against Ryback at WrestleMania, and the first pieces of that feud fell into place Monday, with the Big Guy interrupting Kalistos backstage promo.
Ryback repeatedly said he respected the Mexican high-flier, but then proceeded to insult him about his size and mask. This presented a weird dynamic, with Ryback not quite playing a full-fledged villain (he later faced Curtis Axel of the Social Outcasts, which seems to be settling in as a heel group), and Kalisto having drastically cooled off thanks to a substandard feud with Alberto Del Rio.

Dont get it wrong, this could be a good match. But as a feud, it didnt feel like anyone in the crowd really cared about either wrestler. Poor booking the past couple months hasnt done either man any favors, and its going to take some work to build both of them up.
