5 Ups And 7 Downs From Last Night's WWE Raw (March 16th)

WWE has finally figured out what works with Roman Reigns on the microphone: short, intense promos devoid of jokes that are full of confidence. While Believe That might not be a good catchphrase, at least Reigns is no longer being fed lines like Sufferin succotash!

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.
