WWE Monday Night RAW June 2: The Worst

Don’t get me wrong, I actually enjoyed last night’s RAW. However, this month’s community blog post here at b5 media is “The Worst” so I’ll be scouring each match and segment on RAW to determine what was “The Worst”. I’ll also balance it with “The Best”.

The Dichotomy of Santino Marella

We’re not thrilled about his feud with Jimmy Kimmel’s Cousin Sal but assured that that side story only has about two more weeks of life.
So when we saw he was […]

This time, instead of turning out the lights, he’s kicking out a random pair in the audience. Miraculously, he picks out Mickie James‘ brother and sister to toss. Evidently […]

Monday Night Raw: “Before We Turn Off the Lights” Edition

The Setup:
Monday Night Raw begins with none other than the chairman Vince McMahon. Here’s a shocker, he “100% supports and endorses” William Regal, calls him “visionary” and “innovative” and says he reminds him of himself. The audience boos heartily, still smarting from last Monday’s premature blackout.
Regal comes out and turns the lights off again to […]

Drunk Driving Incidents Stun Pro Wrestling and Boxing Worlds

Image details: Boxer Scott Harrison Released From Spanish Jail served by picapp.com
OK, maybe stun isn’t the right word. I mean, who doesn’t like to celebrate May Day? Evidently not the jovial Italian (OK, Canadian) pro wrestling heel Santino Marella (real name Anthony Carelli) and former WBO featherweight champion Scott Harrison. Both have been pulled over […]
