Ups...

7. Another Strong Showing

After a bait-and-switch main event match last week, WWE learned its lesson this week with Big Cass and avoided over-promising with the 7-footer.

Instead of booking a match against Chris Jericho and then not delivering, WWE gave us Cass running through the Dudley Boyz specifically, D-Von in about a minute. Big Cass also called out both Dudleys, referring to D-Von as Steve Urkel and Bubba Ray as Fred Flintstone (complete with a stutter, ala Bubbas old persona).

Its a shame the Dudleys have been reduced to jobbers like this when fellow Attitude Era stars like Triple H and Undertaker are treated as untouchable gods in the ring. Maybe one day, well get that good Dudleys run as a heel tag team that actually wins once in a while.
