8 Most Insane Things Happening In Wrestling Right Now (June 16)
4. FaceTime Turns Into A FacePalm
Austin Aries has this week claimed, on Busted Open Radio, that WWE has a long-term vision for 205 Live and the Cruiserweight division. "It doesn’t happen overnight. And it’s still really in its infancy stages and there’s going to be growing pains and there’s going to be figuring out the right formula."
Translated from political doublespeak: "It might be alright once Alicia Fox p*sses off."
On this week's RAW, Fox conversed with beau Noam Dar via FaceTime. Proving that wrestling matches - let alone wins and losses - don't matter, Dar was more concerned with saving himself from Fox's nagging than concentrating on his opponent. Fox continued to play a henpecking shrew. Meanwhile, WWE drones on about the Women's Revolution as if they're all suffragettes or something. Dar tried to ignore her. "You're making my neck hurt!" she whined. "You're stressing me out! You're stressing me out!"
Dar tried to drag something out of this segment before walking immediately into Cedric Alexander's Lumbar Check. It was in vain, because not a one of them came out of this looking good.
Astonishingly, it failed to get over with the live crowd. As they are wont to do, they sat on their hands as soon as the ropes were covered in purple tape. That might be alright, if the storyline was in its "infancy stages". This regressive bullsh*t has dragged on for over half a year.
