Hot!

WRESTLING RECAP: Playtime Williams breaks down WWE Raw from 04/13/15



(www.PlaytimeCares.com) - When RAW and SmackDown leaves the confines of the U.S. soil, I expect them to bring the heat on their shows.  I will say, this RAW was a let down in regards to a premium show.  I understand that you are overseas and you want to give those fans the most superstars as possible...but WWE, quality of quantity!

Some things I still need to happen in the WWE Universe:

  1. Bring back the Cruiser Weight Division
  2.  Make all the matches mean something to some sort of belt or rivalry.  
  3. Show more of the roster.  You guys recycle the same talent too much
