Title This: WWE Raw 1,000 Reaction

July 24, 2012

Quick Hits: Positives

Miz wins the IC Title. I really liked this. Christian does not need it, and Miz needs SOMETHING to keep his return going. Is it a downgrade from a year ago? Yes, but a huge plus from losing to Santino on the Extreme Rules Pre Show. Maybe he should have won the US Title? It is a lesser title in the eyes of the WWE.

DX reunion was great, genuine, and had some fun jabs inside of the comedy. I was shocked and pleased to see Sandow come out and take the finishers. He was hilarious in his robe with DX in the ring. That is a good rub for a guy who needs that Raw exposure.

The intro video for this specific night was incredible, magical, and really made me miss the old days. The new song seems pretty cool as well, and I loved the new graphics, set, and little pieces of production they improved on.

Mae Young's Hand… Best moment of the night. I couldn't believe that moment. Whoever came up with that idea needs a raise. Hilarious.

I laughed my ass off when they showed Funaki talk, Indeed. That recap video was also fantastic.

Quick Hits: Negatives

Brodus vs. Jack did not need to be done…AGAIN.

No Cody Rhodes? Hell, they should have had even a bit of a segment with him in it. I was perplexed.

Where was the wrestling at? I knew we were not going to get much, but it was hard to find it at all.

Trish and Triple H bit did not get over. Should have had Steph come in.

There was not enough Jericho, Sheamus, Ziggler, Del Rio, etc. The guys who consistently work day in and day out get the shaft.

Josh controls most of the creative writing and ideas for the show on a weekly basis, as well as an on-air talent.

Aside from working with WrestleZone, Isenberg began his career in Broadcast Journalism interning at ESPN and worked with CBS Radio for three years. He has also had the opportunity to interview some of the best athletes and performers alive, including Andrew McCutchen, Ben Roethlisberger, Chris Jericho, Billy Gunn, Karl Anderson, Matt Hardy, Steven Strasburg and others.

Currently, Josh Isenberg works for Major League Baseball in their Advanced Media Productions. He grew up in Pittsburgh and went to Point Park University, which is where Chair Shot Reality is filmed each week.

His life outside of his obsession with wrestling include being a savant for Seinfeld, NFL, NBA, MLB and many television shows. He also has an undying love for musicals, which includes many shows he was a part of in high school. Some of his favorite wrestling moments can be linked to such superstars as Edge, The Rock, Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels and The Great Khali.
