7 Ups And 9 Downs From Last Night's WWE Raw (Feb 1)
8. Very Respectable?
Michael Cole apparently is having trouble grasping the English language again. The Raw lead announcer declared Monday night as the Social Outcasts (Curtis Axel and Adam Rose) prepared to square off against the Usos that the quartet had been very respectable since teaming up. When was that? When Big Show ran over all four of them? Or when rapper Flo Rida punked them out last week? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sAtMB4DlEBc Look, we all know the announcers have to suck it up and say dumb things now and again, but aside from a very brief bump when they formed, this group has really just been 3MB 2.0. Calling the Outcasts respectable because they get a couple minutes of mic time each week before they once again lose is just insulting fans intelligence.
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.
