It looked like Big Show whiffed on his knockout punch to Roman. On the one hand, I'm happy to see the Rhoades clan with the title and Goldust getting one last push. On the other hand, I feel bad for teams like the Usos that have been around forever and not gotten even a short reign. Goldust has been around longer, and they are hoping to get Cody to the next level. The Rhoades will likely have a short run with the straps. I can't really see either of the Uso's obtaining success as singles (they have a perfect tag gimmick). So they really just need to continue working their asses off & they'll get their shot. |

It probably won't last long, but I do like seeing Golden Rhodes with the tag titles.
[Yes, that's becoming a popular name idea for the Cody/Goldust tag team.]

As I said in the Raw thread, I think the Shield holding the belts helped give them more prestige than they have had in years. Week after week they main evented Raw, as well as being a formidable force for anyone who crossed their path. It's going to be tough to see them without the titles, although I wish the US title also changed hands tonight. An all or nothing for the Shield would at least help all the members get over as upset, as opposed to just Reigns and Rollins. I sorta disagree. It feels like (in terms of Tag Champs prestige/stability) we've had a lot of pretty long runs over the past two years or so. It hasn't really been hotshotted. |

Weird little factoid, not counting the Dudleys and the Bashams they're only the second pair of brothers to win WWE Tag titles, after Primo and Carlito.

Anyhow!
Very happy for Goldust. He's been in two of the top 10 Raw matches of the year. IMO.

Big Show's knockout breeze did the damage, though! SHENANIGANS. Stephanie will reverse it on SD. He used Fairy Wind. It was super effective. |

I'm hoping he sticks around a whole lot longer - the guy just gets better with age. He has a classic brawler style in the ring & is excellent (especially as Goldust) at telling a story over the course of a match. This was one of the first matches in a long time where at it's conclusion I was elated as a fan of pro-wrestling. |

Just shy of 22 years ago Dustin Rhodes and Ricky Steamboat won the WCW Tag Team Championships from Arn Anderson and Larry Zbyszko and just a little over 21 years ago Dustin and Barry Windham won the WCW Tag Team Championships from Dr. Death Steve Williams and Terry 'Bam Bam' Gordy.

I picked a bad night to miss Raw. Match sounded awesome.
There's always the YouTube channel, I suppose.

good thing for the Rhodes brothers that Big Show went to the "john cena school of being fired" but i'm happy to see Golddust with one last hurrah and must be cool for the two of them to be able to hold the titles together

After a while, they become to predictable. |
