Is Wade Barrett the BEST play by play analyst in wrestling OR WHAT!!  His quick analysis of obvious botches takes the sting off of them for the viewer and enhances the realism factor!  His explanation of spots tells not only the what but the why which is exactly what an analyst should do.  Kudos to him! He is my favorite.

Wade does an awesome job.  I don’t mean this as a slight to anyone else, but someone has to be the best and to me that’s Barrett.  He adds so much to the shows he calls.

Some Q&A following RAW;

The main event delivered, as I figured it would.  Penta had some great near falls and looked completely at home in there with Roman.  They had to go to Mexico to do it, but finally Reigns got booed as he should have been for the last little while.  What say you?

The match was great, for sure.  I saw that a lot of people online thought that they should have flipped the Title.  Those people got caught up in the moment.  As for Roman being booed, that was a result of where they were.  Going forward I don’t expect it to happen like that outside of Mexico, though given the meh booking of Reigns lately it would be deserved if it did.  Reigns has lost so much steam that it’s hard to believe what he used to be.

So, Big Cass, the guy who’s “stacking bodies & winning titles“ gets pinned clean.  Seriously?  Talk about a momentum killer, jeezus…Where do you go with him from here?  No shade to Evans, but he didn’t lose to a main event guy.

Yep, it was a momentum crusher for sure.  I figured Evans would win so that he could be bouncy in the ladder match but I didn’t expect that.  Knowing the way WWE books now, they won’t even realized that they made Cass look bad and they will probably keep booking him the way that they have been booking him.

Boy, they were happy to brag about the overall attendance figures in Mexico, weren’t they……the company sure does pick & choose lately with those announcements.  I’m sure you’ve noticed.

I did and I also noticed that those were great numbers but it was for three shows so the average was under 17,000.  Those are nice numbers but when you do the math, it takes it down a notch.  And oh yes, they definitely pick and choose what they release now.

So, the Judgement Day had a bad few days, with Liv, Dom & Raquel all losing big matches.  Do you see this as a lead in to fractures in the group, or that’s just the way the individual matches were booked and they don’t plan on tying it all together?

Probably the latter.  I mean, JD McDonagh never wins.  Dom has lost steam for a while now.  It’s not like they have been firing on all cylinders.  I am really surprised that WWE showed the footage of Liv’s shoulder clearly being up and yet they never addressed it on the show.  That’s WWE booking for you lately.
