5 reasons why this week's Monday Night Raw was underwhelming (26 November 2018)
Alright, It's agreeable that it's not easy to fill 3 hours with everything off the charts. Neither is it easy to come up with good storylines time and again. One can be expected to fall short, and sometimes one should cut them some slack because it's not an easy job.
But if they come up with 3 hours of drowsy, sleep-inducing, repetitive, and downright boring product, with almost next to nothing to write home about, then the WWE Creative deserve some heavy criticism.
A product whose ratings have been falling steadily and on a regular basis comes up with 3 hours of this? Are they even serious about their work? Or are they just a bunch of downright lazy employees who are paid bucket loads to do a poor job?
Some might wonder what made this week's edition so awful. Well, here are some of the reasons.
#1 Anti-climactic matches
Bobby Lashley faced Elias after an opening segment which had Baron Corbin, Bobby Lashley, and Drew McIntyre pretty much declaring themselves to be an alliance. In the match, Elias was almost about to pin Bobby when the referee was pulled out.
As a result, the General Manager Elect turned the match into a no disqualification match. And the result? Elias was whooped from one end of the ring to the other, and then the three just stood tall as Elias' carcass was just lying in the corner.
Later in the main event, Finn Balor faced Baron Corbin, and just when he was about to win, Corbin changed the stipulation of the match, and again all three members of the alliance thrashed Balor from corner to corner until he was left pretty much lifeless as the three again stood tall.
Did any of those sequence of events come as a surprise? Nope. Everything that happened, any average viewer could tell was going to happen, and WWE spent almost an hour on this.
These three are big and dangerous, we get it, get a move on, please!
