Rasslin RAW “Revival”

RAW’s Rasslin “REVIVAL” The November 30th episode finally had some intrigue to the show. However, the ending and last segment remains the same.

“Thanksgiving Throw-down”: WWE Smackdown 11/26/15 This show tonight exuded entertainment, and in light of the holiday; it was predicable to see some sort of a turkey/holiday segment to pep up the crowd.

RAW: 11/23/15 Raw is going to be bad tonight and mostly NOT because the fall season is upon us. The WWE has had a bad Survivor Series which was flat, stale, boring and with filler. The matches were sub par, decent but “just wrestling”. If last night was any indication, then how are things going …
