6 Ups And 9 Downs From Last Night's WWE Raw (Oct 5th)

1. World€™s Jobbiest World Champion

In case you missed the memo, Seth Rollins is the most gullible, idiotic man to hold the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. The company is doing everything in its power to make sure we get the point. Despite being the world champion, Rollins has lost nearly two-thirds of his televised matches this year. Now, he€™s getting demolished by a guy who has a worse won-loss record than him, Kane. Oh, but he put his mask back on, so he€™s invulnerable. Monday, Rollins looked like every bad Bond villain we€™ve seen, standing over a fallen Kane and taunting him (after leaving the ring and deciding to re-enter it to confront the Demon). Naturally, Kane sat up, goozled Rollins and chokeslammed him through a table. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sDDWLZcfOuk The worst part is that Rollins absolutely could make this roll work if he won his matches, even if he used the ropes for leverage or pulled the tights. Ric Flair is a legend known as the €œDirtiest Player in the Game€ for a reason. Why would you book your world champion to be as weak and foolish as Rollins is? He delivers in all his matches, which is probably what keeps him afloat in fans€™ eyes.
