10 Things We Learned From WWE Raw (April 17)
1. A Giant Mess
Industry legend Jim Cornette once posited that an angle can be repeated seven years after the original incarnation, suggesting that the break in time would give old viewers chance to forget the last occurrence and newer fans a cleansed palette for their first edition.
However, if the reaction from the Raw crowd following Braun Strowman and The Big Show's ring-smashing plunge is anything to go by, that number could justifiably be reduced by at least a year.
It was Mark Henry that joined Show for the last variant of the eye-popping stunt at the Vengeance pay-per-view in 2011, with the company aping the spot first rolled out between 'The World's Largest Athlete' and Brock Lesnar on a Smackdown taping in 2003.
2017's version may be the best of the lot.
Referee John Cone tumbled backwards out of the ring, whilst Strowman rose from his latest wreckage to raise his arms aloft in victory over the fallen Big Show as Monday's broadcast went off the air.
Unlike the prior collapses, the stunt offered more than just a creative 'out' in a contest between two behemoths.
Strowman's modus operandi since WrestleMania has been chaos and destruction, and if his ambulance assault last week mirrored early Steve Austin, this sense of threat and peril to all similarly mimicked 'The Rattlesnake' in his Attitude Era pomp.
Whether the company want it or not, the 'Monster Among Men' is becoming the next great babyface hope.
