That means we\u2019re all super depressed because we\u2019re about as far away from the weekend as Darby Allin is from safety. Might as well drown our sorrows in a bath of newly-(re)named PRO WRESTLING. Thanks, Paul Levesque! Here are the most overrated and under-appreciated moments from tonight\u2019s episode of Monday Night Raw\u2026.err Rollins\u2026but really Rhodes. Storytime!<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><b>UNDER- APPRECIATED &#8211; POP CULTURE ISLAND OF RELEVANCE<\/b><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a nice touch mentioning the retirement of Eagles player, Jason Kelce. Jason and his brother (who needs no introduction) are at the peak of pop culture relevance right now, and using them to segue into showing Eagles stadium, where WrestleMania will be, is incredibly smart. WWE is firing on all promotional cylinders right now. I feel like they\u2019re riding a rocket, while drinking a Red Bull, and spraying flames and lasers out just because they\u2019re cool as hell. Okay, that\u2019s a bit much, but hey, if you\u2019re gonna say something, say it loud\u2026like The Rock.<\/p>\n<p><b>UNDER-APPRECIATED &#8211; JEY USO CAN SEE AGAIN<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Someone said their prayers and took their vitamins because clearly it\u2019s divine intervention that \u201cMain Event\u201d Jey Uso has ditched his snorkeling goggles for a pair of normal, human-appropriate sunglasses.<\/p>\n<p><b>UNDER-APPRECIATED &#8211; THE \u201cWOW\u201d FACTOR<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The second \u201cwow\u201d during Cody Rhodes\u2019 entrance was shot epically. Seeing him in front of the crowd, from behind, with a sea of enthusiastic cry babies, was absolutely insane. It looked like Moses parting the Red Sea. Yeah, that shot was so good it\u2019s borderline biblical. That kind of camera work is elevating WWE and really showcases what a powerhouse they are when it comes to fans. How over is Cody right now? Honestly, I don\u2019t think he could be more over if he did a Rikishi-style dance with Stone Cold Steve Austin, Timothy Chalamet, and Taylor Swift.<\/p>\n<p><b>OVERRATED &#8211; SETH \u201cNICKELODEON\u201d ROLLINS<\/b><\/p><div id=\"pwtor-2774589296\" class=\"pwtor-content pwtor-entity-placement\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>Seth Rollins&#8217; outfit tonight comes to us from Nickelodeon. He\u2019s rocking their finest gak-inspired ensemble. It has all the latest features, like making you shunned by friends, glowing in the dark, and you can even run at night without someone hitting you with a car. Unless of course they don\u2019t like your outfit! I\u2019m beginning to find his eccentric sense of style detracting from his tough, top guy demeanor. It doesn\u2019t work for him. It\u2019s like watching Antonio Banderas in <i>Desperado<\/i>, if he were fighting bad guys in a neon onesie. Props to Pat McAfee for sharing my sentiment, and pointing out that Seth looks like a highlighter. Classic McAfee.<\/p>\n<p><b>UNDER-APPRECIATED &#8211; CODY THE VERBAL JANITOR<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Cody delivered a fantastic promo that really straightened the wobbly wheels that WWE pivoted its main event on. He\u2019s a master on the mic, and really took a bumpy road and paved it smooth. It all makes sense now, and while we all know they called an audible, he did a good job cleaning up the narrative\u2026like a verbal janitor with a neck tattoo. Special props to Cody for pointing out that Drew McIntyre is the only other guy to pin him, besides Roman Reigns. That\u2019s incredibly smart. It gives Drew some of the Cody rub, and elevates the secondary title match.<\/p>\n<p><b>UNDER-APPRECIATED &#8211; SETH\u2019S EASTER EGG<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Did anyone else notice when Seth Rollins talked about The Rock in The Bloodline, he made an \u201cL\u201d sign with his fingers, then stared at it, and corrected it into a point? The internet was ablaze when The Rock held up the same \u201cL\u201d while standing tall with The Bloodline. Is this foreshadowing? Are Seth and Rock in on helping Cody? Is Seth on his way to join The Bloodline? God, I love the mystery, the breadcrumbs, all of it. This is elite-level storytelling.<\/p>\n<p><b>OVERRATED &#8211; SETH \u201cWET BABY POOP\u201d ROLLINS<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Seth Rollins, must we take the John Cena shortcut to cheap pops, with fecal matter? I get the justification for the moniker, \u201cDiarrhea Dwayne\u201d. Alliteration is fun, but you\u2019re better than that. You\u2019re an architect, a visionary, a revolutionary, but must you also summon the power of dookie references? You\u2019re close to a number 1 guy\u2026don\u2019t lower yourself to number 2 jokes. See what I did there? Sorry, let me get my head out of the toilet. That was a crappy joke anyway. Flush it from your memory. Yep, I\u2019m hopeless. I will say, that\u2019s the first time I heard \u201cdiarrhea\u201d chanted on Monday Night Raw. Other than verbally stepping in some, ya know, this dual promo from Seth and Cody Rhodes was wildly effective. I\u2019m super stoked to see them confront The Bloodline on Friday. It\u2019s amazing how easily you can tell a great story when you let it be steered by great storytellers.<\/p>\n<p><b>UNDER-APPRECIATED &#8211; DOMINIK MYSTERIO\u2019S NON-TITLE MATCH<\/b><\/p><div id=\"pwtor-1922162606\" class=\"pwtor-content-1 pwtor-entity-placement\"><!-- Tag ID: pwtorchcom_test_300x600 -->\r\n<div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __300x600\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>Oh come on! We\u2019re getting Dominik \u201cHuman Heat Magnet\u201d Mysterio against Gunther, and it\u2019s not even for the title? Now we know this is going to lead to Damien Priest versus Gunther at WrestleMania. Honestly, I wish they\u2019d go with Dom for this match. Between his heat, and Gunther\u2019s skills, it would be a match that would get everyone in the arena on their feet. I feel like we were just given a delicious cup of coffee, but it\u2019s decaf. Decaffeinated Dom isn\u2019t as fun. Sigh. One day, young Mysterio, one day.<\/p>\n<p><b>UNDER-APPRECIATED &#8211; GUNTHER\u2019S SYMMETRY<\/b><\/p>\n<p>I love seeing Pat McAfee deliver a callback to his previous disrespect of Gunther by standing on the desk saluting him. These kinds of arc\u2019d moments really reward the weekly viewers. Also, the first shot of Gunther\u2019s entrance is literally, perfectly simmetried. I didn\u2019t know symmetried was actually a word until I typed it, and didn\u2019t get scolded by spellcheck. Yay! Seriously though, that entrance is a work of barbaric art. I love it.<\/p>\n<p><b>UNDER-APPRECIATED &#8211; RAGGEDY DOM DOLL<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Gunther whipping Dominik Mysterio to the mat from a headlock sent him flying like a Raggedy Dom Doll across the ring. Kudos to Dom, that\u2019s exactly how someone of his size and skill set should be selling against a hard-hitting beast like Gunther. He has some vocal heat against him (like most nights) that he really doesn\u2019t get enough credit for.<\/p>\n<p><b>OVERRATED &#8211; STAGNANT RATINGS<\/b><\/p>\n<p>During the Gunther versus Dominik Mysterio match, Cole said that a win could earn Dom a title shot at WrestleMania. I like those stakes, but I don\u2019t get why we can\u2019t have wins that lead to increased rankings in WWE2K24. It would be amazing synergy and create crossover appeal to buy the game. Let Dom climb the mountain WWE. Give the kid a fighting chance!<\/p>\n<p><b>UNDER-APPRECIATED &#8211; WELCOME TO CHOP CITY<\/b><\/p>\n<p>I love the chop story they\u2019re telling in the Gunther versus Dominik Mysterio match. Seeing Dom get in chop, after chop only builds to the inevitable receipt Gunther is coming for. And\u2026it didn\u2019t disappoint. I\u2019m fairly sure Gunther chopped Dominik back to the days of thinking Eddie Guerrero was his real dad. Welcome to Chop City, Dom, a place known for chest hair removal, defibrillating by hand, and handprint art.<\/p>\n<p><b>OVERRATED &#8211; EPIC BUT GAUDY<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Seeing a shot from the entrance ramp, looking out into the crowd is absolutely epic. It makes you feel the power of WWE\u2026 until you notice about 3,465 graphics of Raw all over the arena. Everywhere you look it\u2019s Raw. There\u2019s big Raws, small Raws, even middle-sized Raws. I could see them on a box. I could see them with a fox. Too many Raws for just one man, let\u2019s tone it down, if we can. Look what you\u2019ve done, WWE. You\u2019ve over-Rawd and made me go full Dr. Seuss. Or perhaps, my heart is just two sizes too small.<\/p>\n<p><b>UNDER-APPRECIATED &#8211; SALESMAN GUNTHER<\/b><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m blown away by the amount of offense Gunther sold against Dominik Mysterio. The guy is half his size, half his skill level, and he still gave a masterclass in selling his opponents moves. That\u2019s a seasoned vet who respects Dom\u2019s heat, and is willing to sell it. Special mention to that handprint on his chest. Grab a sharpie, add some eyes and you could make that thing into a Thanksgiving turkey. Major props to Dominik Mysterio for taking more chops than a meat delivery truck.<\/p>\n<p><b>OVERRATED &#8211; J.D. MCDONAGH THE CHEERLEADER<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Dominik Mysterio doesn\u2019t need J.D. McDonagh as a cheerleader ringside. He doesn\u2019t add any value other than a little heel heat for coming with backup. Seeing him at ringside was just a distraction in my opinion. He was just kind of a bobble head that shook when the ring jolted. He\u2019s like that annoying bobble head you keep in your car just because you forgot to get rid of it. Get off my dash, J.D.<\/p>\n<p><b>UNDER-APPRECIATED &#8211; SILENT SHINSUKE<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Shinsuke Nakamura says more with body language than most wrestlers do with actual English words. That\u2019s all he needs. The guy is a walking evil emoji, and I\u2019m here for it. I loved seeing him say next to nothing verbally, and EVERYTHING with body language. Hips don\u2019t lie, especially when they\u2019re Shinsuke\u2019s. Well, he didn\u2019t shake his hips here, but he usually does while he bends his body like Gumbi on the way to the ring. He\u2019s like one of those inflatable tube men, flopping in the wind to draw attention to some major sale, or a used car dealership<b>.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>OVERRATED &#8211; KATANA CHANCE\u2019S LIP SYNC<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Katana Chance is painfully scripted on the microphone. Kayden Carter on the other hand, seems so comfortable and natural on the mic. It\u2019s a good thing she said \u201cWrestleMania\u201d with such pizazz that Katana lip sync\u2019d along. That was the best thing she said (didn\u2019t say?) during that entire backstage segment.<\/p>\n<p><b>UNDER-APPRECIATED &#8211; IT HURTS TO SPEAK<\/b><\/p>\n<p>I lost it when they showed Judgment Day backstage, Rhea Ripley asks Dominik Mysterio what he thought would happen, and over-selling his injuries he just pantomimes a title belt. Keep it up, Dom. You\u2019ll be the Leonardo DiCaprio of WWE in no time. Okay maybe that\u2019s a stretch. Dom, you\u2019ll be the Michael Cera of the WWE in no time\u2026you know\u2026because you\u2019re <i>Super Bad.<\/i> Yes, I know I have a pun addiction. I\u2019m getting help. I\u2019ll take all of this as a sign to stop\u2026(it\u2019s pointless).<\/p>\n<p><b>OVERRATED &#8211; J.D. TAKES CARE OF GUNTHER<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Okay, Damien Priest telling J.D. McDonagh to take care of Gunther is hilarious and also a complete waste of a Gunther match. I can\u2019t figure out if I\u2019m excited for J.D. to visit Chop City, or if I\u2019m annoyed that I\u2019ll waste 4-7 minutes of my life that I can\u2019t get back. It\u2019s like eating a hot pepper. It seems like a fun idea, but the pain lasts longer than the high.<\/p>\n<p><b>UNDER-APPRECIATED &#8211; BECKY SMALL POP<\/b><\/p>\n<p>I think it was incredibly smart of WWE to cut to a graphic of Becky Lynch versus Rhea Ripley just as Becky entered the ring. Her pops haven\u2019t been nearly as good as they used to be. It\u2019s like garnish on a burnt burger. It doesn\u2019t fix the problem, but it certainly improves the flavor.<\/p>\n<p><b>OVERRATED &#8211; NIA ACTS<\/b><\/p>\n<p>During Nia Jaxx versus Becky Lynch, Pat McAfee said \u201cNone of them are as damaging as Nia Jaxx.\u201d I agree, Pat, but the only thing she\u2019s damaging is my suspension of disbelief in pro wrestling. Can we create a pro wrestling version of the Razzie Award (awards for bad performances)? I\u2019d like to nominate Nia for worst actress of the year. Her ability to sell in the ring is incredibly slow, clunky and she doesn\u2019t emote enough to make anything feel real. I honestly think I could sell snowballs to an Eskimo better than Nia sells in the ring. If I ever bought any of her performances in the past, I\u2019d like to request a refund. Please and thank you, WWE.<\/p>\n<p><b>UNDER-APPRECIATED &#8211; RICOCHET WITH THE WORDSMITHING<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Did Ricochet make up \u201cClosed mouths just don\u2019t get fed around here?\u201d That\u2019s a great line. I\u2019m stealing it. Thanks Riccy!<\/p>\n<p><b>UNDER-APPRECIATED &#8211; J.D. GETS CUT OFF<\/b><\/p>\n<p>J.D. McDonagh just got cut off when WWE went to a commercial right as he was talking. I don\u2019t know who made that call, if it was purposeful or accidental, but I appreciate you. Thank you for sparing us the lollipop kid\u2019s grumpy words. Did I mention I\u2019m not a huge fan of J.D.?<\/p>\n<p><b>OVERRATED &#8211; COLE EXPOSES WWE\u2019S FORMULA<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Michael Cole just said that Drew McIntyre made a comment about Jey Uso last week that led to a match tonight. Yep, that\u2019s wrestling booking in a nutshell. I\u2019m here for it though. It\u2019s simple yet effective, and keeps shows arc\u2019d versus self-contained. If you work in television (like yours truly) you know that arc\u2019d series are where the real money is at. And we all know how WWE feels about money (spoiler alert, they like it).<\/p>\n<p><b>OVERRATED &#8211; THE INTERCONTINENTAL TITLE LINEUP\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The possible challengers for the Gunther\u2019s title are kind of weak in my opinion. I think only Shinsuke Nakamura, Sami Zayn and Chad Gable are the only viable winners. I\u2019m still wondering why J.D. McDonagh is in the match. Well, I suppose you can\u2019t play tennis without a ball to hit, so they threw him in there to get served (I know, I know) some offense.<\/p>\n<p><b>OVERRATED &#8211; IVARRATED<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Ivar should just let Valhalla do all the talking. She can be his Paul Heyman. He\u2019s more intimidating when he doesn\u2019t talk. Also I can\u2019t stop thinking Ivar is secretly Chris Farley, who faked his own death, built muscle, and became a Viking wrestler. You can\u2019t beat Gunther, Sami\u2026and you\u2019re going to be living in a van down by the river.<\/p>\n<p><b>UNDER-APPRECIATED &#8211; SENIOR MONEY IN THE BANK<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Did anyone else forget Damien Priest has the Money in the Bank briefcase? Man, what a terrible time to have that. The main event scene is wildly top heavy at the moment, with major stars occupying spots he\u2019d be vying for. That said, I wouldn\u2019t be shocked if he steals one from Seth Rollins after the Drew McIntyre match. No chance he gets involved in Cody Rhodes\u2019 story though. If he does I\u2019ll write my words on a shoe and eat it.<\/p>\n<p><b>UNDER-APPRECIATED &#8211; DAMIEN PRIEST\u2019S PUNCHES<\/b><\/p>\n<p>I may be alone on this, but I think Damien Priest throws the most believable, brutal looking punches in the WWE. Props to Imperium for selling (or maybe actually taking) the hits and making them look amazing. His punches are so pretty, I wanna buy them dinner. I don\u2019t think there could be a stronger punch if you filled a bowl with 8 gallons of Crown Royale. On a side note, that\u2019s how much you\u2019d need to drink to enjoy Ivar talking.<\/p>\n<p><b>OVERRATED &#8211; PETER PAN IN A MID-LIFE CRISIS<\/b><\/p>\n<p>I truly don\u2019t understand Ivar\u2019s outfit. He looks less like a Viking, and more like Peter Pan having a mid-life crisis. It\u2019s a bit fitting though, since his moves never\u2026land well.<\/p>\n<p><b>UNDER-APPRECIATED &#8211; MICHAEL COLE\u2019S RIGHT TO CENSOR\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Did anyone else notice that after Valhalla screamed \u201cKill \u2018em\u201d to Ivar (while fighting Sami Zayn)? Aside from making this premeditated murder, which would elevate his charges from manslaughter to homicide, it\u2019s worth noting because Michael Cole responded with \u201cValhalla telling Ivar to get him.\u201d Um, no Michael, that is not what she said. Can I have the court read that back please? Yes, as you can see, she clearly encouraged him to commit murder, in front of thousands of people. You can TV-PG yourselves all night, WWE but you can\u2019t deny homicidal intent. I done seen it!<\/p>\n<p><b>OVERRATED &#8211; VALHALLA YELLING<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Why is Valhalla yelling all the time? What is she so angry about? Is it because her man never wants to grow up? Is it because he thinks he can fly in the ring when he thinks happy thoughts? Or, maybe she ran out of jungle leaves to finish her outfit? The world may never know.<\/p>\n<p><b>OVERRATED &#8211; JEY USO\u2019S GLASSES RETURN<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Do we really need to make \u201cYeet\u201d the new \u201cWhat\u201d? I was into Jey Uso\u2019s promo until he marked the tragic return of his sunglasses that look like a snorkel. At least he wrote \u201cYeet\u201d on them. That makes everything better. Right? Right?!<\/p>\n<p><b>UNDER-APPRECIATED &#8211; DREW MCINTYRE GOES FULL JACK-IN-THE-BOX<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Oh my God. Did anyone else notice Drew McIntyre\u2019s insane whiplash when he took Jey Uso\u2019s turnbuckle butt crash? I assume that\u2019s what it\u2019s called. His head snapped back like a jack-in-the-box that just got punched by a rightfully terrified child.<\/p>\n<p><b>OVERRATED &#8211; SOLO\u2019S NON-SOLO<\/b><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m sorry, but after The Rock outed Solo Sikoa as having an amazing singing voice, I can\u2019t take anything he does seriously, unless he does it in song form. Where is the solo, Solo? On a side note, if you teamed up with Gunther and claimed you were part German, you could be Hans Solo. Just food for thought, nibble on what you will.<\/p>\n<p><b>UNDER-APPRECIATED &#8211; JEY\u2019S THANKSGIVING LEGS<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Jey Uso\u2019s super kicks sound louder than a Will Smith slap at a Chris Rock show. The sound is so brutal that I\u2019m convinced he has enough handprints on his upper legs to fill a whole Thanksgiving table with turkey-shaped placeholders.<\/p>\n<p><b>OVERRATED &#8211; CRAYOLA FIGHTS<\/b><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m sorry, but with Seth Rollins all in yellow, and \u201cLive Event\u201d Jimmy Uso all in red, I feel like I\u2019m watching two crayons battle for crayon box dominance.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ll be back on Friday for another edition of the Dwayne Johnson insult-a-thon.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><em>(This is the debut column from Kevin Duncan, a\/k\/a Kevin Thats Weird.
