Alex talks about a mildly disappointing Summerslam, and how frustrated he was at the lack of clean finishes. Alex also gives his opinion on the decision to have John Cena go over Nexus cleanly in the main event.
The purpose of RAW this week was to re-establish Nexus. The problem was, it was executed terribly. It also could've been easily avoided if Nexus had just won at Summerslam. Does Nexus need a shot in the arm soon?
On Smackdown, it's all about Kane and Undertaker. The good news is, Alberto Del Rio made an impressive debut against Rey Mysterio.
The "piledrivin' post of the week" (www.thesportsstuff.com/boards) is handed out, and in the "finisher" segment, Alex talks about the tragic news of Lance Cade passing away at the age of 29.

Alex discusses the WWE's build to Summerslam, and the varying ways they attempted to build Nexus' legitimacy on RAW this week. Alex also explores the possible outcomes of the Nexus vs. "Team Cena" match Summerslam.
Alex analyzes the recent happenings on Smackdown, and talks about how the show seems stagnant at the moment, with no real character development in the mid-card.

Alex talks about a big week in wrestling, including a very good "Money in the Bank" PPV.
Alex analyzes the results, including The Miz capturing the MITB briefcase, and how big a deal it is considering how The Miz began his wrestling career. Alex also wonders who they'll book the Randy Orton/Sheamus feud, and who will eventually be revealed as the man behind Nexus.
Kane capturing the World Heavyweight Championship is brought up too, and Alex says he doesn't have a problem with Kane being given a title reign. He just has a problem if it is revealed that Kane is the man who took The Undertaker. Alex thinks that is a real opportunity to elevate somebody like Jack Swagger.
The "piledrivin' post of the week" (www.thesportsstuff.com/boards) is handed out, and there's a "Finisher" segment.
Listen to "The Alex Reimer Show" this Saturday from 12-1 PM EST on 1120 AM WBNW Boston, www.moneymattersradio.net, and www.livestream.com/wbnw1120.
