Not the best episode of RAW, all around, this week
#4 Best/worst: The Lashley situation
Ad
Lio Rush certainly has to be the most annoying character since Jar Jar Binks
I like the fact that they turned Lashley heel because nobody was getting behind him. However, I wonder if the pairing with Lio Rush will yield dividends. Lashley is a physical specimen and a monster for sure, as Rush keeps saying. But Rush's constant commentary makes me want to change the channel.

Yes, Lio Rush's 'hype' is supposed to turn the audience off Lashley and get them to cheer the babyface. Lashley is also playing the role of the heel well. He is posing and preening, and this makes the audience very angry indeed.
But I wonder if Rush has become far too annoying in the process. If this was not my job and my source of income, I would have changed the channel when Rush came on.
