4 Ups & 8 Downs From WWE Raw (Aug 23)

7. 24/7 Title Wackiness

As broadly amusing as Reggie's wacky stunts are (and they were super wacky here, with the former Cirque du Soleil man flipping and diving off trees and ice cream trucks to evade R-Truth and Akira Tozawa), his 24/7 Championship segments are largely the same thing every week.

Reggie talks down the camera. R-Truth and Tozawa show up. Reggie escapes via stunts. R-Truth and Tozawa look dumbfounded.

Wash, rinse, repeat.

Too short to be offensive, these angles are nonetheless a tired part of a tired show. A little creativity wouldn't go amiss.
