Right out of the gate, let’s admit that the Viking Raiders had a fairly impressive squash Monday night.

However, we still have to point out that once again, the Raiders were back to beating up no-name, pasty jobbers rather than tearing through the WWE tag team ranks. And worse, this came one week after they were eliminated from the tag team turmoil match in a double-DQ with the OC.

So rather than hunt the OC down to challenge them, they beat up hapless losers… again.

Since returning to action nearly three months ago, the Viking Raiders have beat only three “name” tag teams: The OC (pre-push), Zack Ryder & Curt Hawkins (twice) and the B-Team (last week).

Seriously, can we get some forward motion here?
