Ups...

9. This Is Going Somewhere, Right?

While it’s not a major plot point by any stretch, you’ve got to enjoy Angel Garza’s constant flirting with interviewer Charly Caruso.

Garza’s persona as Raw’s lothario fits perfectly with this, as he constantly tries to woo the beautiful backstage interviewer, staring at her and presenting her with roses. Angel did more of that on Monday, seducing Charly and giving her a rose before walking off, leaving a clearly smitten Caruso.

But the best part had to be Zelina Vega turning around, ripping the rose out of Charly’s hands and tearing the petals off it, throwing them back in her face. Jealousy? Or just a vindictive heel manager?

It could go somewhere long-term, or it could just be a fun character trait playing out on TV and using a backstage personality to help bring it out rather than just having them ask memorized, mindless questions in a monotone voice.

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.
