4 Ups And 4 Downs From Last Night's WWE Raw (Oct 27)
UPS...
4. Ryback Returns To His Roots
Open challenges rarely work out well for heels. Anyone whos ever watched the first SummerSlam should have learned from Honky Tonk Mans mistake. Bo Dallas found out the hard was with Ryback making his return, not just to the ring, but to the gimmick that got him over in the first place. Ryback came out to his original music and readopted the same mannerisms that he used through WrestleMania XXIX last year pumping his arms, yelling Feed me more! and Wake up! during his entrance, calling for the Meathook clothesline, and most importantly, dominating and winning the match. The results were instantaneous, with fans chanting Feed me more the minute the music died down. http://youtu.be/FRB4cszLkQ4?list=PLF0CB8E7B4C77DB61 Its good to see that WWE is at least trying to recapture some of that magic. While Ryback might not get as hot as he was in late 2012, he certainly should be better off than where he was when he got injured.
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.
