3 Ups & 6 Downs From WWE Raw (12 Oct - Results & Review)

4. Ain’t Nobody Safe (From This Crappy Writing)

Every time WWE airs a video from 946, a wrestler loses his smile.

The writers behind this debacle need to be stopped. They should be locked away in a room, forced to take remedial classes, and not let out until they demonstrate they can write something that is remotely human and realistic.

Monday’s painfully comical installment from OTM, Royce Keys, and Jaida Parker was an extremely brief one that was difficult enough to hear, but they made sure to have Parker deliver her “Ain’t nobody safe” tagline. Because that’s apparently such a cool, bada** line that it needs to be repeated until fans start chanting it. Or something.

But things took an even dumber turn. Raw GM Adam Pearce was apparently watching this video segment on television, because he immediately turned to senior referee Chad Patton to ask him to officiate the six-man main event between 946 and the Bloodline. Pearce was concerned that these groups – who have engaged in arson, kidnapping, and vehicular attempted homicide – probably won’t follow the rules in a wrestling match.

YOU THINK?

This is why this entire storyline is so preposterous. You can’t run someone over backstage and then have authority figures opining about how difficult it is to get these maniacs to hold onto the tag rope before tagging into a match or obeying the ref’s five-count.

Just mind-numbingly stupid stuff.
