5 Ups And 6 Downs From Last Night's WWE Raw (Dec 1st)

UPS...

5. Rowan Gets A Character Background

This might seem like a really minor thing, but no matter how silly the rundown about Erick Rowan was, it was a background. We now know that he is a borderline genius (who can solve a Rubik€™s Cube), plays classical guitar and is a vintner. That is more than we know about most WWE superstars. Quick, name something interesting about Dolph Ziggler€™s background. Nothing? Now that WWE has given Rowan something resembling depth, how will they develop him? Will he use that intellect to his advantage, or continue to plow straight ahead while wearing a sheep€™s mask? Rattling all that stuff off was a little amusing and refreshing to hear an announcer using life experiences to better define a character, but it means nothing if nothing ever comes of it.
