Monday Night Raw(quickview)
Tonight's Raw from " TD Garden " in Boston , MA will be the final push for " SummerSlam " on the Raw brand . The go home show use to be where the hard sell took place to sell various top rated programs . Since the WWE Network launched back in April 14 ; WWE has obviously revised that philosophy since then . With that being said tonights show is definitely an important one . The main event picture is the deepest it's been in a long time ; the goal should be for them to make it to Sunday in the same state . A little bit more work needs to be done with Ambrose-Rollins to make sense of last weeks scene . I wouldn't expect too much from Fin or Bray but the same old community theater rhetoric . what is next for the Hardy Boys since the Revival are out due to injury ? The most intriguing part is the talents not on this year card , Miz , Hardy Boyz , and even emerging Allias Sampson being left out is noticeable . Maybe tonight will provide some answers , or their time will be during the fall season . Either way tonight should be noteworthy . Enjoy
Last weeks Raw Top 10
Fin Balor VS Bray Wyatt(Preview)
Fin Balor vs Bray Wyatt at this year SummerSlam should have it’s share of spectacular visuals . Both have 2 of WWE’S most influential entrances in some time . Unfortunately beyond that single detail , there isn’t much else to sink your teeth into .
Fin hasn’t been booked that badly at all ; very few television losses , plus he’s discussed on TV as a legitimate Star . He’s been on the main roster for 1 year now , up and down would be a perfect description of his run thus far . 1st night on the he won a shot at Universal Championship buy defeating golden boy Roman Reigns . Then at last year SS he won the title ; but the celebration was short-lived suffering a separated shoulder in the bout . The next 8 months were spent on the injury list until he returned the night after Mania for a sizable ovations . While much hasn’t been wrong with his push since then , but my fear Balor’s next program will leave him in the same place instead of moving up the card .
Bray Wyatt once my favorite character on all of television wrestling and non wrestling , has become true example of / a stale, rancid, and irrelevant character . Tragedy is too strong of a word to describe the fall of Wyatt ; however considering his list of Wrestlemania opponents consist of John Cena , Undertaker , Randy Orton , and interaction with The Rock . The main issue with Bray are pretty simple , he comes out talks in circles of mythology and other nonsense , regardless who is across Bray just input Superstar name in ; it won’t change the promo at all . Worst of all victory never comes ; at the end were always left with moths of pointless promos and nothing ever changing .
This should go only one way; Balor beats Bray and then moves on . If their serious about getting Wyatt back to the level he was at ; he needs to go over strong , put more focus on the promos , and stop all the Hocus-pocus talk . Since it’s been 3 years and Bray is the same as then , go with Balor . Enjoy
Track Of The Day($$Money Monday)
Trina is up again and while I’ve been critical of her before , one thing I must give her credit for is longevity . Her new track ” Get Money ” is definitely good enough for ” Money Monday ” . She more than most her older peers as shown a willingness to adapt to the premier hip hop , auto-tune style . I would argue previous attempts have fallen flat , however I think ” Get Money ” is the right mix . You are the judge . Enjoy
Swept Under The Ring: #MayCon
I am a boxing fan, overall before I start naming individual favorites. Always thought boxing was for us insiders, maybe I just didn't think inexperienced opinions mattered. Over the years, I've been educated. Girlfriends, co-workers, church mates, social media randoms, etc. They fall in that casual fan category. This article is more driven by my concerned for casual fan's investment well spent.
#MayCon is the big prize fighter hype, Floyd in the ring with Conor will be intersting, to say the least. Unfortunately, big money was not spread to promote more exciting fights. Skill wise, along with back stories that would have sold themselves. Early in the year, we had the rematch of Andre Ward vs Sergey Kovalev. The first match was definitely under-sold. Undefeated light heavyweights, pure boxer against knockout artist. Good Ol' USA and Russia classic.
Ward is one of the last Americans to win an Olympic gold medal, cleared every known super middleweight at the time. Moving up to 175 pounds to face the most feared puncher in the division. This was the beginning of those toe to toe, explosive bouts fight fan fans missed out on.

My next selection, I use the phrase "Mexican Shootout" to describe the bout. That is when you see a mostly flat footed match, yea all offense. In fact, these warriors happen to be Mexican. No one blocked much, nor got on the pedal to get away. Omar Figueroa Jr. had at least, a 17 month lay off, moved up in weight to take on veteran Robert Guerrero. Might be the most action packed, yet!
One of my favorite, so far is Adrien Broner vs Mikey Garcia. Similar to our previous match up, Garcia recently returned from a two year hiatus. Former featherweight champ, had two welcome back fights before his 140 pound debut with Broner. We're talking a marksman competing with the crafty style that once mirrored Flyd Mayweather Jr. True explanation of the term "Styles Make Fights".
Garcia VS Broner
My next two, haven't happened yet. One is booked for next month, the other is being avoided by promoters. The magnitude of Saul "Canelo" Alvarez and Gennady "Triple G" Golovkin is being totally unappreciated. Two fighter that have entire countries supporting them, not to mention USA. Saul, from Mexico, are some of their countries' biggest boxing stars in decades. Canelo has a knockout record of forty nine wins, a draw and his only lost was to Floyd Mayweather Jr.
The best lost a welterweight could have, presently. He only corrected weaknesses and improved since. Triple G from Kazakhstan, in the other corner, hasn't faced near the same level of competition. You will still be impressed with what has done to his opponents. Another knockout artist, in thirty seven wins, they all have touch the canvas. Alvarez, a natural born phenom with no amateur matches. The Lebron James of boxing, if you would. Golovkin tried his hand in the amateurs and became the gold medalist. Their pro-careers have been stellar. Both boxers are highly skilled, plus powerful punchers with bad intention. This upcoming event won't go the distance.
Triple G And Canelo Knockouts
Now, for that avoided fight, which could be most explosive of the year. These two are the smallest, yet the more talented boxers around. This is becoming a trend in this feed, two gold medals, each. Both managing to capture world titles under twelve bouts. One controversial loss between them.
Vasil Lomachenko and Guillermo Rigonduex would be a perfect matchmaker. There is nothing they can't do in the ring. Maybe, except for getting hit. If you thought Pernell Whitaker and Mayweather Jr. played the game of "Hit And Not Get Hit" wait till you see these two.
