7 Ups And 8 Downs From Last Night's WWE Raw (Oct 12th)
5. What A Rush
If youre going to have a highly decorated tag team squash an opponent in Chicago, what better way to pay homage to one of the most dominant tag teams ever than by bringing a little Doomsday to Monday. Thats exactly what the Dudley Boyz, nine-time WWE/WCW tag champs, did on Raw when D-Von pointed to sky as his went to the top rope, struck a Road Warriors pose and then delivered the Doomsday Device on Viktor of the Ascension. The Road Warriors were billed from Chicago, making the tribute all-too fitting. The fact it came against a duo that once called themselves better than legendary teams like the Legion of Doom made it even better. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kUmDXMVhCF0 The Dudleys havent exactly set the world on fire since an explosive return to WWE, but they still get a great reaction and still entertain the fans. Mondays match and tribute were a nice treat.
