32 WTF Moments From WWE RAW (July 4)
AMERICA! F**K YEAH!
Oh God here we go, the one episode of the year that every non American - or should I say Un-American since we're talking about wrestling here? - cringes at that bit more than usual. I'm strapped in and ready for Lillian Garcia's tearful rendition of The Star-Spangled banner, lesser members of the roster in painfully budget fancy dress and endless references to how 'Merica is better than the rest of the world.'
I'm only pulling your leg, Americans. You enjoy your Independence Day!
This week's episode of WWE RAW looked like being one of the most patriotic in history as a mega 16-man tag team match was announced ahead of show time. Team USA would take on a rest of the world side led by Chris Jericho in a match if the new 'League of Nations' won, I'd eat my crown live on the video version of this article.
What's that catchphrase I've been using all too often in recent times? Oh yeah, New Era same old sh*t! No other phrase could have been more appropriate for this week's RAW as Titus O'Neil vs. Rusev, and Dean Ambrose vs. The Miz - the same champion vs. champion bout we saw last week on SmackDown no less - were scheduled to take place.
I was spoilt for choice this week in a condensed 32 WTF Moments from WWE RAW. Yes, there really is 32 even though they're only on 29 pages...
Make sure to check out the accompanying video on our YouTube channel.
29. So Much WTF!
A 16-man tag team match is a WTF Moment in its own right, right? That's just too many proverbial cooks to spoil that canvas flavoured broth isn't it?
It's not only the amount of cooks in the ring... I'm going to stop with that sh*t analogy and simply question the selection policies for each side.
First of all, how on earth did the powers that be expect us to believe this American side was capable of winning? That rest of the world team is far superior in every department meaning a win for the home team would be a genuine WTF Moment.
Then, we had some Un-Americans on Team America - that's the wrong team isn't it? Madrid, Spain native Kane in their ranks while the rest of the world side had Chicago native Kalisto and American born Chris Jericho leading their charge.
Then of course we have the selection of Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn on the same side... that's going to end well! NAAAT! AND MARK FREAKIN' HENRY WAS ON WWE RAW!!! WTF!
