WWE Raw: 10 Things You Might Have Missed (Nov 7)
Sasha Banks did what Charlotte couldn't on Raw...
Refreshingly energetic and just begging to be entertained, the Scottish crowd on hand for the latest episode of Monday Night Raw gave the show a unique flavour. So invested in several characters were the live audience that some had a tough time keeping control of their segments. This was especially true for Charlotte.
Unable to talk over the booming noise coming from the stands, the Raw Women's Champion had to rely on another female performer to bail her out.
Awful attempts at the local accent in Glasgow, subtle digs from the commentary team and even great heel work are all here.
Let's look at some things you just might have glossed over on Raw...
10. Stephanie McMahon's Terrible Scottish Accent
Due to the fact that General Manager Mick Foley wasn't in attendance for Raw, it was Stephanie McMahon who opened up the show. It can't be argued that McMahon is a fine public speaker, Steph regularly dominates every segment she's involved in. That's part of the problem though, especially when she flips between playing heel and trying to be babyface.
After mentioning that Foley wouldn't be there, Stephanie tried to use Mick's own material and get a cheap pop from the live audience. Instead of simply saying that Raw was in Glasgow, Scotland in her usual voice, the Commissioner tried on a Glaswegian accent.
The Scottish dialect can be difficult for North Americans to master. On this occasion, Stephanie fell short of hitting the right notes. So bad was the attempted accent that it wasn't even that obvious. When McMahon said, "right here in Glasgow, Scotland" it barely even sounded Scottish.
Later, Big E tried his hand at the accent. Although The New Day member did fare a little better, he couldn't get it right either.
