WRESTLING RECAP: Playtime Williams breaks down WWE Raw from 05/25/15



(www.PlaytimeCares.com) - The Elimination Chamber (EC) Pay Per View (PPV) is this Sunday and this show is suppose to generate excitement for teh show. With only a decent RAW last week, you have much wiggle room to create a great show this week.  This RAW was just decent...not bad at points, but really have much room to improve things!  Hopefully SmackDown will redeem this week and generate interest.


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.
  4. You may wish to consider bringing the Diva's division full circle and have them with Tag Title belts, lightweight belts, etc.

Here are the highlights of the show:

AirDate: Monday, May 25, 2015
Location: Long Island, NY - Last show at Nassau Coliseum before it is torn down.
Commentators:  JBL, Micheal Cole and Booker T.
