This week, WWE crammed all it's hyper-ethnic characters (OK,
most all of them - the black guys all came out later) into a single wackadoo
tag team match. Ostensibly the match pitting Sheamus & Santino Marella
against Wade Barrett & Jinder Mahal was set to promote the Royal Rumble,
but that only barely came across in commentary and not at all in the match
itself. Sheamus could have at least tried to toss everyone over the top rope at
the end, or maybe even have some kind of issue with his partner, Santino.
Even worse than the time-killing nature of the contest,
however, was the fact that we had to watch it instead of an actual tag team
match. WWE is currently building some type of angle with Air Boom and Primo
& Epico, with the Usos tag team also waiting in the ring. As much as I
loved seeing Daniel Bryan get a win over Kofi Kingston tonight (more on that
later), I would have preferred to see the World Heavyweight Champion beat
someone else while Kingston appeared in action with his fake weed smoking tag
team partner, Evan Bourne.
