5 Ups And Downs From Last Night's WWE Raw (Nov 17th)

UP

5. Kicking Up €™Dust

When Triple H took the reigns, the word going around was that WWE was going to start refocusing on tag team wrestling again, and for a little while it looked like that was the case. But despite talented champs in the Shield, Usos and Goldust and Stardust, the WWE Tag Team Championships have largely been afterthoughts. It€™s sad to think that NXT might have a deeper tag team roster right now. Regardless, WWE threw (its only) four teams out there Monday night in an eight-man tag match. And while a lot of the focus initially was on Damien Mizdow€™s one-man comedy act, they turned in a solid effort in a 10-plus minute match that showed there are some talented wrestlers in the midcard. Mizdow alone deserves an Academy Award for his dedication to shadowing Miz. It€™s silly and seems like it€™s going to jump the shark€ and then you laugh out loud at something new that he does. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZMaPw1JPUJ8&index=5&list Hopefully, they will get at least 10-12 minutes for their fatal fourway tag title match at Survivor Series to really show off.
