9 Ups And 2 Downs From WWE Raw (June 2)

The seesaw mood surrounding the ongoing Street Profits and Viking Raiders skits really depends on a few different factors.

Last week’s golf sketch heavily ripped off “Happy Gilmore” – and poorly. Monday night, the Profits and Raiders squared off at a bowling alley, where Erik & Ivar were naturals. They toasted Montez Ford & Angelo Dawkins – with goat’s milk – and showed off with a bunch of trick shots, while the Profits kept hitting gutter balls.

But then the Profits called for the smoke, and they got it in the form of cosmic bowling. Suddenly, the tables turned, and it took Ivar sliding down the alley himself to win it for the Raiders, and tying things up 2-2 in these sketches.

While they’ve definitely lost their luster since the first competition, we have to assume that next week they’ll make a wrestling match for Backlash, because there isn’t much else for them to do at this point – though they’re apparently doing a decathlon next week. It’s overall been a fun ride, but we’re ready to get back to competing for the tag titles.
