WWE RAW Workrate Report
Tom is either in jail, rehab or elbow deep in a fat girl so I am going solo this week. Fun show this week for the most part
What Worked
PAS: Helmsley v. Shelton was a fine low grade main event. Shelton still desperately needs some offense. I am also sort of amused at Helsmley seeing how many times he can job to a guy without elevating him at all. I mean Scott Hall only lost to Hector Garza once.
PAS: Hurricane/Rosey v. Tajiri/Rhyno was a shadow of their great Heat match, but was still good enough to go here. I hope the rubber match is main eventing Heat where it belongs.
PAS: Flair is basically washed up, but I really liked old washed up guys. Hell I am driving to Philly to see the Midnight Express, I drove to North Carolina to see Canek and Pierroth, I buy tapes to watch Fuchi and Momota matches. You got to sit through some rough sad shit most weeks, but this was some classic Flair. Orton is a fine Sting as a guy who Flair is constantly turning on. I need to see Randy and Bob v. Ric and David.
PAS: Damn when you put Batista in the role of guy who will beat your ass, he will beat your ass. That knee to face was ugly.
What Didn't Work
PAS: Maybe I'll find the Gene Snistky thing nostalgic camp in 10 years, but now it is just stupid boring shit. I saw the One Warrior Nation, you sir are no One Warrior Nation.
PAS: Micheals looks like Sammy Hagar at this point in his career. I never want to have to watch any combo of these four guys work ever again.
PAS: I really like Ace Steel, but getting his hair cut by a retard and getting punted by Bishoff isn't going to get you an OVW deal. I think he should just be happy being a big fish in a smaller pond. Mission of Burma never wanted to be Kansas.
PAS: That was the initiation? Where was Ivory to tear her ACL? P.S. Hayes to piss on her? Could D-Von and Bubba Ray come over for a one night curling iron? The stupid fucks gave her 250 grand, Dreamer should at least roofie her and shit on her chest. I guarantee that Tough Enough Winner is not just going to be getting the soapy finger but the thumb.
