Big Bad Blog Video Theater-Asuka and Dana Brooke vs Alexa Bliss and Mickie James

Here's the match video of Asuka and Dana Brooke vs Alexa Bliss and Mickie James from last night's episode of RAW. Raise your hand if you thought this match was too long. Look, I know what the WWE is trying to do. But it drives me nuts when they make their own people look like idiots. Before the match, they had an interview with Nia Jax to set up her Wrestlemania match vs Alexa Bliss. They ran Alexa's entrance, took a commercial and then ran Asuka's entrance after the commercial. Then they ran another commercial during the match. So it was a long match and for most of the match, Dana was babyface in peril. Obviously they are selling the possible end of Asuka's streak. But as they tend to do, the WWE went overboard. Though I have no problem with Michael Cole's commentary, I have a big problem with Corey Graves predicting Asuka will lose before every match for the last two months only because it makes him look like an idiot. It's not his fault. He's just doing what Vince tells him to say. It's cheap heat. And last night he said she would lose three straight matches. Jonathan Coachman's response was what if she wins them all. That means they have run out of ideas. They didn't know what Graves should say other than predicting that Asuka will lose. Well, they better come up with some new ideas. The way I hear it, this streak will last for another year. Most of the match was Dana in peril. But on a couple of occasions, she could have tagged Asuka in and she looked like an idiot to not do that. This was done to kill time. Because when Asuka did tag in, she finished the match in ninety seconds. So if you add poor match layout to horrible booking, it's not a good mix. After the match, Alexa and Mickie jumped Asuka and Nia came out to make the save. Of course she didn't get her hands on Alexa though she will on Sunday. I expect something weird to happen in that match. So why didn't they have Nia team with Asuka? They needed a longer match than they would have been able to do with Nia.
