More! /vince-russos-the-brand-recap-raw-smackdown-analysis-seth-rollins-fall-from-grace-whos-wwes-best-heel-more/ Thu, 30 Nov 2017 06:15:00 +0000 /vince-russos-the-brand-recap-raw-smackdown-analysis-seth-rollins-fall-from-grace-whos-wwes-best-heel-more/

Russo is joined on today’s show by his co-host Jeff Lane, Kenny Bolin and Big Vito.

Russo says that WWE reached a new low point this past Monday with that sad episode of RAW. The shows have been terrible for months but this episode of RAW was absolutely terrible. Early in the show we got the announcement that Roman Reigns would be defending his Intercontinental Title against Elias, and Reigns’ dialogue in this promo was just brutal. Russo says that he actually likes Reigns a lot, but the dialogue is clearly written by 3rd graders.

He also has no idea why The Miztourage is linked to Elias now all of a sudden just because The Miz ran off to make a movie. Russo says that WWE is clearly just throwing things at the wall week after week, and whatever happens happens.

Lane says that he feels sorry for the people who paid their hard-earned money to go see this show. RAW doesn’t have another PPV until the Royal Rumble and they’re clearly not building towards anything right now. WWE simply took a week off and put a house show on television this week, and it’s a shame because those fans who showed up to the arena were ripped off.

Finn Balor responded to Roman Reigns’ challenge on Twitter and promised to “step over” the Intercontinental Champion.

After Reigns challenged the RAW roster to “step up” against him, Balor replied with another reference to reports that Vince McMahon doesn’t believe he’s over enough as a suitable opponent for Brock Lesnar. You can check out the exchange below:

Dave Meltzer speculated in the latest issue of The Wrestling Observer Newsletter that Braun Strowman could possibly be included in The Shield reunion match. Meltzer says that he could either replace The Miz or just be added to the match making it a 4-on-3 handicap match.

If Strowman replaces The Miz in the match, it would open up an Intercontinental title match on the card. Meltzer believes that Strowman’s has interacted with Dean Ambrose & Seth Rollins over the last two weeks makes one of these possibilities very likely.

Dave Meltzer reported in the latest issue of The Wrestling Observer Newsletter that the original plan was for The Miz to defend his Intercontinental Title against Jason Jordan at the upcoming WWE No Mercy pay-per-view event.

It’s now being said that the status of that match is up in the air since WWE has done nothing on television to build the match up and there is only one week left until the show. It’s still very possible that WWE may book the match at last minute.

After getting relegated to the pre-show at Summerslam, the Miz looks to defend his Intercontinental Championship at No Mercy. Thing is, we don’t know yet who his opponent is. That’s slightly absurd. If he doesn’t defend the title for two straight PPVs, then something is clearly wrong. Let’s hope that doesn’t happen.

But who can he face, though? Here are some guesses.

Matt & Jeff Hardy

If WWE wants to go the easy route, then they can have a rematch between Miz and Jeff Hardy. After all, the A-Lister did cheat to retain against Hardy. In case they haven’t forgotten, this is an easy one to arrange.

For an even spicier arrangement, they can throw Matt into the mix. A Triple Threat revents disqualifications from the Miztourage, but it also allows them to straight up interfere. It also raises more interesting questions.

Do the brothers team up against the Intercontinental Champion? Will they duke it out and let the better man win? Can you freebird a singles title?

Miz has survived multi-man matches before, so it’s not out of the question for him to weasel his way into one should he be faced with both Hardys. Remember how he stole the win at Extreme Rules two years ago? Expect a finish like that should this be the case.

]]> How To Book Darren Young Upon His Return /how-to-book-darren-young-upon-his-return/ Sun, 23 Jul 2017 13:31:31 +0000 /how-to-book-darren-young-upon-his-return/ Darren Young is set to make his return to the company really soon. You all remember Darren Young right? He was one half of The Prime Time Players with Titus O’Neil, which I thought was one great tag team. Although he isn’t the greatest wrestler, he isn’t half bad either. We last saw him as a student of Bob Backlund, working hard and doing things the right way. He injured his elbow back in January and has been off our television screens ever since.

With a return nearing, one has to wonder how Young should be booked and portrayed in his return. It doesn’t make sense to pair him back with Backlund, but he could be used in another form.

Young is on the Raw brand, which is loaded with star studded talent. To get television time there, you have to do something impressive and shocking at the same time. Do something that draws ratings and garners attention for yourself. For Young to do that, he must turn on and destroy Bob Backlund.

It sounds harsh and inhumane in a way, but it makes perfect sense. Backlund is a sixty-seven year old man who isn’t physically the same as he was back in his prime. He may can defend himself, but not like a thirty-three year old Darren Young could. Young turning on Backlund would make the crowd feel uncomfortable, sad, and even disgusted at the sight before their eyes. So how should he do it?

Start out with Young making a surprise return to Monday Night Raw with Backlund by his side. They can do the skit where Backlund proclaims he’s going to make Darren Young great again. This is when Young turns on Backlund, hitting him with heavy shots and kicks. Young grabs a chair and hits Backlund across the back. As the crowd stares at the motionless body of Backlund, they will also see the sinister grin on Young’s face. A new heel is born, one with nothing to lose.

Young’s success after that moment determines how he performs in the ring and cut promos. Start him off against a Heath Slater or a Rhyno, a low-card babyface that can help put someone over. Eventually this will lead up to him getting a shot at the Intercontinental Championship. It may be puzzling, but if Young can put in the work then he definitely deserves a shot at the Intercontinental Championship.

Jinder Mahal winning the WWE Championship has opened the door for so many others. Mahal went from jobber to champ in a blink of an eye. If he can do it, then Young has the chance to do it too. Just put in the time and the work, then anything is possible.

Darren Young has had his fair share of success within the company. He is a former Tag Team Champion and knows what it’s like to perform in big time matches. The ability is there, he just needs the opportunity. Attacking his mentor could create just the perfect opportunity. Young as a heel will be a little fresh thing to help keep the fans interested and may get the notice of the powers that be. I wish Young all the best during his return to the WWE.
