7 Ups And 6 Downs From Last Night's WWE Raw (June 15th)
Downs
6. Miz Wins Wait, What?
Oh, come on. We all know Miz is the chickens*** heel stuck between the Human Wrecking Ball and the Worlds Largest Athlete in this feud, but Mondays match does him and fans no favors. With Miz facing an obvious uphill battle against Big Show, he resorted first to running, then managed to sneak back into the ring and beat the 10 count for a countout victory. The night before, he jumped both Ryback and Show in the ring for a DQ finish before fleeing. He once again hightailed it before anyone could get their hands on him Monday night. Supposedly, cheap victories like that are supposed to make you take him seriously as an Intercontinental Championship threat. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xfdoTcMshSA One would expect Miz to be the one to eat the pin in the eventual triple threat IC title match, but with WWE, you never know. Regardless, Mondays match, coupled with the crappy title match at Money in the Bank, does not make for a good first feud for Ryback. If only he had destroyed Show Sunday night and moved on to someone anyone else.
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.
