WWE Old School RAW Is New School Disappointment

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAE YOUNG Mae Young is a trooper. Over the years, she has been put through tables, attacked by everyone, and gave birth to a hand. She deserves birthday wishes from everyone. Also, I don€™t care if it broke kayfabe or not, I loved seeing Mark Henry being nice to her. Because sometimes being nice IS WHAT HE DO! FATAL 4 WAY: CM PUNK VS RANDY ORTON VS SHEAMUS VS BIG SHOW CM Punk interrupted the birthday celebration and made his way to the ring. As far as Fatal 4 Ways go, this one was pretty bland. It€™s not my favorite match to begin with (I think Triple Threats or 3-Way Dances are much better) so the fact that it wasn€™t that great only helped solidify that fact. Everything was by the numbers. The faces teamed up to take out the heels, unlikely partners teaming up, chain of finishing moves, and the sneaky pin for the win. Everyone knew Punk was going to win before the match even started so there wasn€™t any suspense in that. Coming off a great main event last week, this match really paled in comparison. Also, I was disappointed that there wasn€™t anything Old School incorporated. The show last night had a few bright spots but turned out to be a disappointing affair overall. I hate that the WWE has these great theme nights for RAW but don€™t go all out for them. Yeah, they had the old set and the old ring, but last night€™s episode didn€™t even top last week€™s episode, yet alone the first Old School episode. With Wrestlemania fast approaching ,the WWE is trying to tease some matches but the time for teasing is drawing to a close. We need to get some matches on paper (aside from the obvious ones) if you want my money for Wrestlemania. I say it every week, make me excited for the event WWE. You have roughly 18 hours of programming left to do it. Let€™s get on it. Did you enjoy Old School RAW? What's your opinion on CM Punk VS The Undertaker at Wrestlemania? Does the Streak stay intact?
