Not every match on Raw can be a technical classic or create a memorable moment. But when you almost forgot it existed five minutes after it took place, you have a problem.

That was the case with the fatal four-way match between Nia Jax, Ember Moon, Dana Brooke and Tamina Snuka. The “match” lasted about two minutes, with the smaller wrestlers trying to take out the two bigger ones, only for things to break down and then for Tamina to superkick Nia, and Ember to Eclipse Tamina in rapid succession to end the match.

And that was that. No real point to the match other than to showcase four of the women in Sunday’s battle royal at Evolution, but it wasn’t even a decent match.

The backstage segment with Trish Stratus and Lita being jumped by Mickie James and Alicia Fox did more to advance an angle than the match did.

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.
