Isenberg Reacts: WWE Raw “Three Weeks of Consistency”

April 19, 2016

Tag Team Tournament Continues

Enzo and Cass defeated The Dudley Boyz, which The Vaudevillians picked up a win over Jimmy and Jey Uso. When you look at the tag team division, changes are here and are here for the better. This tournament is a nice way to showcase the two new teams, while making sure you are not overexposing them and pushing them down the fans’ throats.

They are two VERY unique gimmicks, ones that have the potential to get old quick. Enzo and Cass ooze with charisma, while Gotch and English are going to need time to get over. Either way, this is an exciting time for new talent and new talent in the tag team division is always a good thing.

Baron and Apollo on Raw

Speaking of young talent, Baron Corbin picked up a quick win over Fandango. Dolph Ziggler was on commentary and their feud continues. The more I watch Corbin and Ziggler, the more I think WWE is doing the right thing. With Apollo Crews, who picked up another squash victory, he seems to be the Neville type. He is going to get a few quick wins on television and hopefully his skill in the ring leads him up the ladder.

Baron Corbin has a mystique around him, a gimmick and a character. Apollo Crews is still generic to me and I NEED to know more about him. I need to know why I should invest my interest in him and they need to develop more of a backstory so he can connect with the crowd. Do that sooner rather than later and his chances of success will increase.
