I haven't watched wrestling since I was a kid, but I just got back into it a few weeks ago. It is weird to say, but I am really looking forward to Raw tonight. haha
For the long time fans, I have this question. Why the hell is Brock Lesnar not showing up at literally any event? I understand that he doesn't like the travel, and he is not a full time wrestler. But you can't just skip house shows and at least do Raw? Can't even come out and cut one promo in a month, while you are the champion? Good lord.
And further, why does the WWE allow it? Is it some throwback to the days of territorial wrestling? Do they like the idea of keeping the world title out of the storyline picture at times? Or are they just doing basically whatever Brock Lesnar wants?
This Big Show feud is confusing/terrible, and I have no idea what they are thinking. First of all, Big Show is just bad on the mic. It is awkward and uncomfortable when he talks. He should never be cutting long promos like he did last week.
Secondly, Rusev basically got a clean win over Show last week. Mark Henry interrupted. Why are they continuing to drag this thing out? Right then and there, it should have turned into a Mark Henry-Big Show feud. ''Why did you interfere, you cost me my match!'' Instead, they double team Rusev and the crowd is meant to cheer for their cowardice? That is what America means to them, double teaming one guy after he fairly whooped your ass moments before?
If they eventually have Rusev lay down for Big Show, I will be upset. I liked that he was set up as actually winning that feud.
Dean Ambrose has serious charisma. His wrestling is average or above average, but he definitely belongs in the top.
Seth Rollins, man, loving him as a heel. Those power bombs into the turn buckle, the creepy smiles, the running away, the vicious curb stomps.
John Cena, who I never liked from a distance, is actually not that bad. I like that his character is sort of defined. He is not a dirty person, is not overly aggressive or crazy, but he is still confident and thinks he is the best. He has morals and standards. It is an interesting throwback, seems a lot like a Golden Era character. Bret Hart or something.
I like the lack of chair shots or head slams. Watching old Attitude Era stuff can be so cringe worthy. But when they busted out that chair last week, I was like oh shit! It is going down! Do they ever take head shots though? Would be nice every once in a while.
I am confused about this Kane character. Does he have any viciousness or sickening nature anymore, or is he strictly business? How do you go from Kane, the guy who was burned as a child and filled with inner torment, to Corporate Kane? I know guys switch gimmicks, but that is a pretty drastic switch.
Does Vince McMahon appear as a character anymore? How about Stone Cold?
ANYWAYS, long winded as hell, but I have been enjoying these last few weeks of watching the show.
