Monday Night Open Mic

Howdy Blog O’Doomers!

Hope you all had a great weekend. First and foremost I think Scott is doing too many different seasons of RAW anyway. I mean we’ve got 1994, 1997 and 1998? Seems like a lot of the same show from different sides. I say keep the 1998/99 RAWs until Wrestlemania XV to set up the first Rock-Austin megaclash (and one of the best three show-ending matches on Wrestlemania to that point….even though the rest of the card was pure ass). Then go to NWA maybe a few weeks before the Superpowers formed in 1986.

As for tonight we’ve got another live episode of RAW as Braun Strowman tries to figure out how to combat the re-united Shield. I, for one, like the thought of bringing back the Shield. The whole gimmick is they are the “Hounds of Justice” and they didn’t attack Strowman until he attacked Reigns before trying to cash in. That wasn’t cool. The way I see it they are performing the gimmick.

As for some news. Brock’s really gone so he can get clowned by Daniel Cormier and then return for Wrestlemania.

Former Bayley superfan Izzy has been training and recently took bumps in an indy match she won. She’s like 11 too. Interesting and strange. Looking at the clips, it seems like she was extremely well protected but she’s not even a teenager.

I really liked this rather spontaneous, ad-libbed promo from New Day, little disjointed at the end but if the WWE doesn’t give Big E some sort of a singles push soon they are really missing the boat.

What else is on TV? American Ninja Warrior….Better Call Saul….Bachelor in Paradise…Last week not going head-to-head with football until 2019.
