WWE RAW Reaction - KO Mania
Check out my great, good, bad, and really really pathetic from last night's RAW.
Great
- Kevin Owens vs AJ Styles was one hell of a match. I loved it. The near falls and big moved were great. I want to just talk about the body of match as it was long and built well, and really gave us alot to enjoy. For the rest, check out the bad section.
- The Video Packages to build up Taker vs Shane were great. They were really well done, and clearly this is the main match for Mania. Think about that.
Good
- Charlotte and Natalia once again had another very good match. Poor Natty. She is so talented and underutilized by this company. But she clearly gives Charlotte great matches and this was another really good one.
- I liked the idea of Owens setting up a 3 way to find his opponents for Wrestlemainia, which he has coined, KO Mania. I thought it was pretty clever how he set up a match with jobbers, but still ended up having to wrestle all 6 guys at Mania. More on this later.
- It was great to see Terry Funk in the segment with Dean Ambrose. Terry was still the same old great crazy Funk.
- The brawl between Reign's and HHH was pretty good this week, but a complete afterthought really.
Bad
- Why spend all that time building up a union between Truth and Goldust only for the Dudley's to squash them?
- The New Day's promo on the League of Nation's was horrible.
- If these idiot's keep booking Braun Stroman in main event's, they better keep expecting the ratings to dive off the cliff. This guy is terrible. Poor Dean Ambrose. That match sucked so much ass.
- The Andre the Giant Battle Royal could have been made into a real important event after the initial win by Cesaro a few years ago. But now, with Big Show as winner, and guys like the Social Outcast and Kane as the main contenders, its fucking doomed.
- Vince announced that if the Undertaker doesn't beat Shane, t will be hos last match at Wrestlemania. Talk about overbooking a match. Why so many damn stips? And we know they never stick to stips.
Pathetic
- Stephanie McMahon is the pathetic to me. Why must she cut off the balls of everyone on her roster. Why is it so important to bury everyone and show how powerful you are. Tonight, it was Kevin Owens, of all people. One of the only believable guys they have left got emasculated. I hate these people.
- Although the Owens vs AJ match was great, the finish was pathetic, as now in back to back shows, AJ Styles has been distracted and pinned. WHY!!!! You dumb idiots. And Jericho has his match with Fandango and is distracted, AND STILL WINS!!! What???? Fucking idiots.
- Stardust, Zack Ryder, Sin Cara are actually in the ladder match for the IC title at Wrestlemania. Think about that. these jobbers have no business in anything more than the Battle Royal, and its a disservice to Kevin Owens that he's forced to share his first Mania match with these complete jokes.
In theory, the main event of Wrestlemania is supposed to be HHH defending his world championship vs Roman Reigns. But let's be real, that match is as cold and as dead as a frozen fish. There is no momentum for WrestleMania at all.
I'm going to Mania and will enjoy myself and love it, no doubt, but the event sells itself on the name. The most pushed match is between a once a year performer and the Bosses son who isn't a real wrestler. The rest has been half ass built up in so many ways.
We all know the issues with Roman Reign's and the last two week's have been attempts to put the genie back in the bottle, but I'm sorry, that goose is cooked. Reign'sis cold and does not have the favor of the people.
It is what it is.
