Raw Tag Team Champions Seth Rollins & Dean Ambrose vs Cesaro & Sheamus(Preview)

  By

The tag team title rematch has significantly less appeal to it then when this program started. That should have been expected, but instead of the predictable title retain I have a sneaky feeling WWE might pull a fast one on us.

Since loosing at SS the former champs have been booked reasonably strong. The addition Gallows and Anderson over the past several weeks has given Sheamus-Cesaro a few opportunities to really look strong.

The possibility I feel that is still very much out there is heel turn by Ambrose. While there has been no hint on television that's a possibility, it's not implausible. If memory serves you correct there was absolutely no hint of Rollins turning on his partners few years back so this would fit. Also considering Vince has booked this show with a few big matches; would definitely not be surprising to see this twist happen.

Right now I don't have a strong feeling if WWE will go this rout,but I would definitely vote for it. It does have a few drawbacks; one being the fans have really enjoyed seeing the former Shield mates back together, and breaking up again could been seen as a slap in the face. I'm of the strong opinion that an Ambrose turn would significantly boost both men statuses tremendously; especially Ambrose. It took Rollins from the 3rd wheel too pretty quickly the top heel of the company for over a year. While Ambrose is solid as a top 5 babyface and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that fact,however in his early days in the company; he showed what a compelling, smart, sadistic heel he can be. So a program between these 2 just roles completely reversed than a few years back could make this upcoming Fall season one of the more interesting ones in some time.

"I'm seeing nothing but my dreams coming true while I'm staring at the world through my rear view" words that still hit home today almost 20 years later. 2 Pac who I consider the 2nd greatest of all time; biggest strength was no matter your age,gender,race, ect.....you can find something that relates to you and brings you into the song. Pac willingness to not hold back his opinion on m  any  subjects could have led to his untimely death; but also always created for a unique, well thought out single. Enjoy

Finn Bálor vs. Bray Wyatt(Preview)

  By

Fin Balor will once again take on Bray Wyatt at No Mercy. This will be the 3rd match they would have had in as many months. This program has been booked completely backwards and makes very little since on the surface.
The why and how to this program  evening happening has been lost on me since the beginning.

I've already several times chronicled the bizarre and disappointing career of Bray so far. So I refuse to get into again, but just know he's had huge matches with Cena,Orton,Taker, and he's slightly more over than when he was when he hit the wwe scene 4 years ago. This program has the same issues that always follow Bray, his promos continually have zero meaning; you can insert anyone has his opponent; same promo same garbage. To make this one more unusual; Bray defeats Fin clean on Raw; then looses to the Demon at SS; then after that ask to take on Fin again because he can't beat the demon; What? This makes no sense and idiotic.

While I have no issues with the way WWE has booked Balor since his return, but a loss to Bray here would slow down his steady momentum. Surprisingly this never-ending fued has yet to hurt Fin,but it's time to  move him on to bigger and better things.

Who should win is obvious; Fin Balor should pin him 1-2-3, and never speak about Bray again.

WWE Cruiserweight Champion Neville vs. Enzo Amore(Preview)

  By

The "Realest guy in the room" takes on the "King Of the cruiserweights" at No Mercy. Unfortunately that clever title will most likely be the most WWE will do to hype this match. A year later the cruiserweight division is no better off than as if it was never here. Weeks of 50/50 booking with 99% of the talent, plus not treating anyone like there a star has hurt this division from the very beginning.

Enzo entering the division few weeks back has led to a slight boost in overall interest, but the minute he steps in the ring it comically falls apart. Now wrestling history are full of top acts not being the most skilled, but Enzo performances in the ring barely pass for competent. It's not all lost; Enzo is definitely well above average on the mic, and more utilisation of that skill set would be ideal.

Neville has been a tremendous heel champion during his run; the division short comings are not on him. While he has been booked very strong when it comes to wins and losses, but you would never know because not one individual on WWE television really ever draws any attention to it. His portrayal of a serious mean underhand fighter has been one of the subtle highlights of Raw for months, but instantly the lack of creditability of anyone he faces brings the program down a notch.

Who wins and who should win are two different questions and answers.  Believe it or not I would put the title on Enzo; simply because it doesn't really matter, and for better or worse he's one of the few people who does get a reaction from casual fans. The more significant reason for change would be to get Neville out of the division. Yes a loss to Enzo could hurt, but elevating back to the main roster with his new edge and confidence can help out all involved. Now I do not forsee WWE taking this option, but instead just staying on the same fatal course. Enjoy!

Track Of The Day

Track of the day is back with a bullet literally; it's not often I get to speak about wrestling here, but since the Track "Bullet Club" is literally named after the New Japan Wrestling Group; it works out. The Bullet Club is an outlaw faction in New Japan that has become tremendously popular here in the states. If you're a lapse fan; just think NWO "Too Sweet". The behind the dumpster grimly erie feel you get from this track paints a picture, and fits with the image the independent wrestling faction has portrayed. Also it is always refreshing to hear a stark contrast to what 75% of what rap is now. Very nice touch to have Lloyd Banks as a feature; establishes creditability and a level of skill set that is always welcomed. Enjoy
