YOU WILL RESPECT MY AUTHORITAH!!!!
Personally, I thought last night's segment featuring these four was easily the low point of Raw. There's just so much wrong with this segment that I'd normally say that it'd be easier to list what's right, but the problem is that I couldn't find anything right, at least not from my perspective.
For one thing, I got no sense of chemistry between either of the two "couples" and it makes the whole thing feel extremely awkward and the whole thing just screams of the sort of segment that Vince finds extremely entertaining. For another, and this possibly gives me the impression of it being Vince's baby more than anything else, is the stereotypically outdated way in which Lana and Summer Rae were depicted. Essentially, you had a couple of attractive women in very short skirts getting into a cat fight, with Lana's skirt being so short & tight that any sudden movements causes the hem to essentially bunch up almost to her waist. As a red blooded heterosexual male, I've got no problems with attractive women wearing clothing showing what they got but, as a wrestling fan, it irritates me to see them essentially portrayed as though they have nothing to offer than all sorts of aesthetically pleasing features and curves. The segment did seem to get a pretty big pop by the time it was all finished, though I'm thinking it had more to do with the sight of two hot blondes rolling around on the canvas while one's skirt was so short that any quick movement caused it to be hiked damn near up to her neck.
Another problem I have is that they've essentially turned Rusev, who was, aside from Brock Lesnar, the most "feared" heel on the roster for over a year, into a whining, sniveling 285 pound pussy. Rusev's portrayal, along with the storyline as a whole and the women cat fighting, screams of a horrendous soap opera inspired angle, though even this is tacky, cheap, awkward and just flat out nonsensical even by soap opera standards.
