Watched Raw highlights. Holy shit, get rid of Kevin Dunn. Not doing my ironic praise of WWE thing, the booking here was actually really clever in certain places. They really managed to make Drew McIntyre look good, and a lot of the things they are holding back on are going to be able to be played out in coming weeks.
The Hardy/Kross stuff works because, let’s face it — Kross is not Goldberg. Nor does he have that potential. Now Kross has an actual program and is forever going to be linked to the guy. They could do a Ladder Match at a PPV over a belt in two years or whatever and it could have a feel to it. Plus, I’m pretty sure they are going to bring in Scarlett to “ramp up” the act and have Kross focused by her.
Plus, it reminds people that the only show AEW can beat is where the rookies play. Their champion just got outfoxed because this isn’t the minor leagues, son. And that could always turn into something down there.
But god damn, those camera cuts. It’s a ridiculous idea and they are insane for thinking that is a good idea and doing it deliberately. Just ending that shit will increase viewers by several hundred thousand right there.
