4 Ups And 4 Downs From Last Night's WWE Raw (Oct 27)
1. Bray Wyatt Speaks, And Nothing
After grinding an energetic and exciting main event to a sudden halt at Hell in a Cell, Bray Wyatt needed to come out Monday night and explain himself. He needed to give fans a reason why he targeted Dean Ambrose, why he interfered, and what the magic act signified. What fans got was a short, ramble about how Bray and Dean are not brothers and not friends because were the same. Bray then talked about dismantling Dean and feast(ing) on the spoils. While this would typically be a good promo from Wyatt, it didnt explain why he inserted himself into the match and what mystical powers he was channeling. So fans are left without answers. http://youtu.be/-ZkyTRxKoMk?list=PLF0CB8E7B4C77DB61 A Wyatt-Ambrose feud could (and hopefully will) be outstanding both in the ring and on the mic. But this was a rocky start that needs to get ironed out before fans get confused and/or tune out. Both of these guys are great young talents, so this hopefully is nothing more than a big speed bump that is quickly hurdled.
Scott is a former journalist and longtime wrestling fan who was smart enough to abandon WCW during the Monday Night Wars the same time as the Radicalz. He fortunately became a fan in time for WrestleMania III and came back as a fan after a long high school hiatus before WM XIV. Monday nights in the Carlson household are reserved for viewing Raw -- for better or worse.
