Nic Nemeth reacts to watching Raw, Jacob Fatu update
– Nic Nemeth via Busted Open Radio Reacts To Watching Raw – First Time In Over A Decade
“The entire show was story based. The clips really helped me out, clips from SummerSlam, last week. All these bits and pieces, it was catered to someone who had not watched that show in a while or was tuning in for the first time. So I really appreciated that part.
I was blown away. It was really long-term story based stuff, and I feel it’s probably why the crowd is so hot, so many people are there, people are invested and you get so much more invested in a story, even if it’s a few months.
It’s seems so well story driven.”
– Jacob Fatu is expected to return by the end of August. He is off WWE TV at the moment to keep him away from Roman Reigns.
“Essentially the deal is they’re basically trying to have Jacob Fatu completely avoid Roman Reigns, because everyone has to sell for Roman Reigns and they want to keep Jacob Fatu special by not bumping around for Roman Reigns. So he’s going to be gone when Roman Reigns is around until whenever the time is right to hook them up. That’s the situation. I can’t say he’s not hurt but everything that’s happening was planned to happen, I can say that, as far as avoiding those two locking up for now until later when they will lock up. I think they want Roman with Solo first and then Jacob Fatu after that.”

Sure it is story-based, but so much of those stories are very generic creative-wise. That’s clearly a Triple H problem as it was the case when he ran NXT too. He waters people’s gimmicks down and slots them into the most by the books wrestling stories he can tell. He plans so far in advance you can predict about 85% of everything before it happens. It’s competent enough to watch but i’d stop short at calling it interesting.
But we gotta ride the horse and act like WWE is now the greatest, because Triple H can be fired now that his father-in-law isn’t the boss. We also can’t talk about their influx of sellouts came from bringing the Rock and Punk fanboys back. Totally a coincidence that the crowds are more obnoxious and intrusive since they came back either. But as long as HHH comes out to start shows and ask us if we’re ready everything is cool.
