Vince Russo’s latest RAW review is up at PyroAndBallyhoo.com. Here are a few highlights, courtesy of WrestlingINC.com reader @RampaigerRob:
– He opens up by talking about the untimely tragic passing of Robin Williams, mentioning that he had a lot of personal demons. Russo shifted the discussion to himself and talked about how he has battled personal demons.
– He says that Paul Heyman is amazing at delivering promos, but that this one wasn’t anything different from what we previously saw.
– The handicap match made no sense to him because the heels lost the match via DQ. He says that it was booked as a DQ to protect the heels, but since Reigns destroyed Rybaxel anyway after the match it was all pointless.
– Criticizes the direction of Kane. Realistically, who isn’t? He changes character like every three months and never truly feels important. Russo thought that turning in the mask could have sparked an interesting story but as we all saw, Kane is just Corporate Kane again. He then goes on to criticize WWE’s booking of Kane even further, saying that this is a guy who should feel important. At one point he suggests Kane adopting a schedule similar to Undertaker which would be interesting.
– He said it was stupid for Seth Rollins to suspect that Dean Ambrose was inside the giant present, because it gave everything away. That’s true, and the segment would’ve worked much better as a total surprise.
– He enjoyed the whole affair angle. He did criticize the acting of Megan, though.
– He enjoyed the sitdown interview with Chris Jericho and Bray Wyatt. He feels that Wyatt is bigger than WWE and should be in Hollywood.
– He criticized The Miz distracting Dolph Ziggler because it was repetitive after the Paige/AJ segment. He noted that Miz has no heat in this feud.
– He enjoyed Hulk Hogan’s birthday celebration, but felt that the special guests should have been promoted throughout the show.
– He feels that Brock Lesnar and John Cena should have closed the show brawling .
Russo also discussed John Cena’s promo on RAW, RVD vs. Seth Rollins being pointless, Rusev note getting enough heat heading into SummerSlam, Brie getting arrested, heel psychology and more, you can check out his full RAW review by clicking here.
