By Graham "GSM" Matthews The Authority Bid Farewell the WWE Universe I was really hoping that this new ex-Authority era in WWE would kick off without them, but apparently not. I know it's a logical way of following up the pay-per-view, but please let this be the last time we ever have to sit through a long talking segment from them opening Raw. Furthmore, Triple H's comments toward Sting didn't give too much away which was good because there's plenty of time to go back to that before WrestleMania in March. Daniel Bryan Addressed Team Authority Bryan's return was a pleasant surprise and giving him the reins of Raw for a night was a smart move considering he still can't do anything physical. The segment lasted a little longer than it should have, but they set up a lot for the rest of the show in terms of what each member of the team would be involved in. Again, a 30 minute talking segment to kick off the show isn't preferable, but it accomplished quite a bit.

#AskGSM Edition #54: Survivor Series Fallout, Sting's WWE Debut, Dolph Ziggler's Future, More11/24/2014 By Graham "GSM" Matthews #AskGSM is a weekly Q&A video where I, Graham "GSM" Matthews, answer fan questions from Facebook, Twitter and YouTube in regards to the world of wrestling. Nothing is off limits, and this week’s edition touches upon a variety of topics including:
By Graham "GSM" Matthews Fandango def. Justin Gabriel (Kickoff Match) I appreciate the effort WWE put into "repackaging" Fandango, but he's essentially still a dancer, so what's the point? Adding the winless Rosa Mendes to act will do nothing for him. What's worse is that the only reason why Fanadngo was over to begin with was because of his catchy entrance theme, but now that that's gone, the character is dead in the water. Johnny Curtis is actually a very good wrestler, and it's a shame he's been saddled with this stupid persona. Jack Swagger def. Cesaro (Kickoff Match) I said it in my Main Event review and I'll say it again here: If Swagger was medically cleared to compete in this match, why wasn't he added to Team Cena? It makes no sense from a storyline standpoint. I was disappointed Cesaro wasn't on the card in any manner, so I was glad he was incorporated into the pre-show at least. He and Swagger worked a good match as they always do and the live crowd was into Swagger. I'm glad Swagger picked up the win, but Cesaro remains an enhancement talent. He deserves better, but you already knew that. By Graham "GSM" Matthews Michael Cole Interviewed Triple H WWE has done a great job of making the multi-man main event at Survivor Series mean something and this was an effective way of driving home its importance. Cole was fine in his role and HHH drew strong heat with his lines about being better than everyone from the Attitude Era. The addition of the "everyone gets fired on Team Cena if Team Authority wins" is an intriguing one. Usually, it'd guarantee that the babyfaces win on Sunday, but I'm not so sure since I still believe it's not the right time to eradicate The Authority. United States Champion Rusev def. Dolph Ziggler (Non-title) These two haven't faced off much in the past, so it felt fresh and they proved they can work well together. It could've gone a little longer than it did, but for the time it was given, they had a nice matchup with a fun finishing sequence. The crowd popped big when Ziggler hit the Zig-Zag, which goes to show that the crowds are getting more and more desperate to see Rusev lose. It's going to be a major moment when he finally does. |
