Fandango seems like he's getting more and more confident performing in front of big crowds. While he jobbed to Kofi, I thought he got in a few nice moves and had a solid, if unspectacular, match. I think the guy could really go places, if they actually gave him, like, a feud, or a decent-length match, or actual characterization outside of "say my name right!"
Anyway, Raw was boring last night. The opening segment with Bryan shaving Barrett was pretty damn entertaining, but after that, you could just tell they didn't want to waste any storyline stuff or big segments in front of that crowd. What I don't get is, on these minor Raws, why not give the lesser guys a little more time to shine? Why not give us an Ambrose promo? Why not have a backstage sketch with Fandango?
On a side note - what the fuck was that sloth thing Layla did last night? She was DEFINITELY rusty, but even with her sloppy performance, you could tell she has more in-ring talent than Kaitlyn.
Edit: how sick was that Rowan body splash on Tensai? Dude is manifestly more green than Harper, but last night gave me hope that the two can make a beast of a team, if booked right. Question - why, with so many tag teams, containing so much talent, does the tag division not matter at all anymore? Tag teams are a great way to feature a bunch of guys, they pretty much always produce good matches, and sometimes - as I think Swagger and Cesaro proved last night - you get a really special, fortuitous pairing that really has the potential to elevate one or both of the guys (Cesaro, in this case, since I think Swagger is done after the DUI and concussing Dolph).
double Edit: Regal is a GREAT broadcaster, and while I know it won't happen, WWE would be nuts not to have him come up to Raw when King finally does retire. I JUST WANT SOMEONE TO CORRECT COLE WHEN HE CALLS A BELLY TO BELLY SUPLEX A THROW, DAMNIT.
