Cruiserweight Six Man Tag Team Match
Perkins with a slingshot senton for a one count. Perkins gets Nese in a guillotine choke, but Nese counters with a Northern Lights Suplex for a one count. Nese tags in Kendrick. Perkins gets Kendrick in the knee bar, but Kendrick rolls out of the ring. Gulak drives his knee to the gut of Alexander. Alexander with a exploding enziguri to Gulak. Kendrick tags himself in.
The six men know how to work and all bring something unique. That is a positive, having six men with similar offenses bring a different approach to the ring. You are not having all six with simplistic personas or the same offensive moves. They bring the ability to adapt and offer charisma and talent their own way. I actually think Brian Kendrick gets the title at Hell in a Cell, finding a way to win. A heel is a heel and Kendrick knows what to say and how to garner heat. It could benefit Perkins having him chase something that means so much to him. An action packed night on WWE RAW gave us a nice platform and solid timing on all ends. Does everyone else hate Drew Gulak like I do? (I mean it in a good way, as he is doing EXACTLY what a heel should do)
Goldberg is Back
The time came and it was great. Goldberg came back to the WWE and got into the ring with an incredible reaction from the crowd. After soaking it all in, Goldberg began to talk about his promotional work for WWE 2K17 and then talked about his history. He goes on to talk about the last time he was in WWE and how it did not end so well. He brings up his wife and son never seeing him wrestle and in the ring. Soon after, he talks about how Brock Lesnar needed his “fat stooge” to challenge him and he did not have the balls to do it himself. Goldberg said he thought about keeping it in the video game, but maybe he had one more Spear left. Maybe he had one more Jackhammer. He says Brock Lesnar is not just who is next, he is who is last.
This was a different Goldberg than 12 years ago. Although he looks the same, his delivery tonight was excellent. His last run in WWE seemed more like he HAD to do it and was not enjoying the atmosphere. He seemed to be in neutral from the first night and never really connected with the crowd in a meaningful way. You can see the joy he had and I really enjoyed his return. Was I skeptical? Absolutely, but this is a big first step in what could really be something that makes us forget about the disaster of WrestleMania XX. Both men are seemingly wanting to erase history and make something that was awful much better the second time around. I want them to focus on the positives and not the negatives. It will be interesting to see what Brock Lesnar has to say next week. I want him to speak a little bit and not just Paul Heyman.
