So, due to some family scheduling fukkery, I ended up watching Raw for the first time in something like five or six years.
shyt ain't this rough every week, is it?
That opening segment had some real potential, but I'm never a fan of when something that's clearly a work just suddenly veers into worked-shoot territory, so Kofi just randomly talking about being stuck with a shytty gimmick in the middle of getting talked down to about his own children didn't work for me.
And I legitimately don't know how there are people that are Matt Riddle fans. We get it. He likes weed. shyt is like a heavy handed gimmick from the 90s, but somehow with even less subtlety. He absolutely blew up a good segment just to set up a six man tag that probably could've been set up a bunch of other ways if they weren't out there basically trying to fill the first half hour with one story.
They gotta hit the eject button on this Gargano and Miz shyt. Ain't no way y'all that watch this every week haven't gotten sick of this shyt, if I was ready for this shyt to be over when this man pulled out a remote.
People are often too quick to say someone got buried, but holy shyt, Austin Theory got BURIED. I don't know that I've ever seen anything like that. They gotta give MITB a break for a little bit after this, and when they do, they gotta be better about booking the winner. Austin Theory is apparently some mid, but booking him like a fukking bum who can't figure out how to cash in isn't really helping him at all, and he's not the first person they've completely fukked up having the MITB.
