Ace's Answer - Raw 9/29

‘Rinse and Repeat’ is what my friend Chris Rose has said at times concerning the type of matches some wrestlers have all the time. Rinse and Repeat is the perfect phrase to describe this week pathetically average (at best) Monday Night Raw broadcast.

I didn’t think the WWE broadcast repeats, but that is what I watched last night, a repeat of last week’s broadcast.

I’m really too disgusted to have too much to write on the show, because it just doesn’t deserve it. Were there some highlights? Sure. Mostly they were the commercial breaks.

We started out with a Low Point: Seth Rollins apologizing to Paul Heyman for trying to cash in on Brock Lesnar and making it clear that no one in the authority had anything to do with it. Can we just release Rollins now before doing his career any more damage?

The WWE just turned Rollins into a massive pussy, who seem scared to death of Paul Heyman, much less Brock Lesnar. After that segment, I don’t even care about the Rollins storyline anymore. And the Rollins storyline dominated the show, again.

Once again, because of Rollins, we say Ambrose, Cena, Orton and Kane in matches. This time it was a tag match. What’s next, Ambrose versus Orton and Cena versus Kane just to switch it up?

Oh, yeah, other stuff happened, but most of it was mired in the muck.

Big Show tossed around Rusev and tore down the Russian Flag. Finally someone did that (no offense meant to anyone).

There were three Diva’s matches, none of which did anything. The Rosa/Layla match was another Total Divas tie-on, we had a Bella in a handicap match and Alicia Fox added to the Paige AJ Feud? All of that smack of a lack of imagination or thought and reeks of desperation.

Dean Ambrose was the only thing worthwhile on the show. Set the course around this guy and you may have gold. Dean wouldn’t apologize for trying to cash in on Brock.

Last night’s Raw was a chore to watch. The talent isn’t the problem. The three-hour format isn’t the problem. Not having any idea where they are going or how to handle their talent THAT is the problem.

Bring on TNA!

RATING: 4

MATCH OF THE NIGHT: The triple threat IC Match: Ziggler versus The Miz versus Cesaro
