Rewind-A-Raw is LIVE at 11 p.m. ET
I thought Joe Tessitore was fine tonight. Was he lost? Absolutely not. Did he miss he few moves, like the Torpedo Moscow finish, he did.
But he can only get better, and I’m sure he will, since he’s a pro’s pro. Tessitore gives it a more sports feel than storytelling feel, something that would not have happened in the Vince era. I can’t imagine WWE being able to get a name like Joe Tessitore if Vince was still screaming in everyone’s ear. It’s good for the product and a nice contrast to Michael Cole.
With Friday being the last Smackdown on Fox, was it a perfect storm where you had the peak of the Bloodline storyline on a broadcast network with massive reach? It had to help the company become as hot as it is. (Granted Fox didn’t see the value by not retaining the rights.)
Solid RAW. RAW is the best WWE show by a distance. Punk and Drew had their best night since Chicago. Sami-Gunther is a really nice bit of matchmaking as well. Enjoyed their segment a lot. The main event was so much hotter than I expected. Thoughts on online criticism that Liv has been too cowardly? Do you think Punk and Drew have done enough to earn the main event spot at Bad Blood? Cody’s going to be in his hometown and Reigns looks certain to be on that show as well.
Joe Tessitore won me over when he didn’t play dumb when Punk was attacked
“That’s Drew McIntyre in a hoodie”
The delivery was hilarious to me and I loved it.
