Show started off with a boring Orton promo and probably not getting any better with this upcoming 6-woman tag match.

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at Lana getting randomly put through a table again by Nia

Wonder if Lana regrets signing that new contract a while ago since she's pretty much going to be dealing with a new level of WWE pettiness from now on.

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at R-Truth's mock draft board and him thinking the masked janitor was Randy Orton.

[Emperor Smeat]

Why is Murphy still with Rollins after that texting stunt Rollins pulled last week.

If someone took my phone and leaked whatever private messages I sent to someone out in the public, last thing I'd do is still be friends with that person afterwards.

[Emperor Smeat]

Turns out Murphy is a huge pushover since all he cared about was just getting an apology from Rollins for Aalyah instead of wanting some revenge for what Rollins did to him last week.

Also Dominik being pushed to the side and becoming a bit player in this never ending Rollins vs. Mysterio Family feud has been stupid.

[Emperor Smeat]

RAW's been pretty boring so far although to be fair, I'm also watching the Pats-Chiefs game that's been surprisingly close so far.

Hoyer stunk but Pats O got some new life once Stidham took over.

[Emperor Smeat]

:| Lee vs. Strowman ends via double count and Strowman destroying Lee afterwards ... and now Lee suddenly destroys Strowman.

This show sucks.

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at Truth thinking Randy Orton was in a Drew Gulak disguise.

[Emperor Smeat]

Ricochet is soo bad on the mic. Couldn't even do a convincing swerve of not taking the Hurt Business offer to join and not make it come off as being bad.

[Emperor Smeat]

That has to be some sort of WWE record by now.

[Emperor Smeat]

Whoever came up with this Murphy and Aalyah side story for the Rollins vs. Mysterio Family feud really should have been chucked out of a window during Creative meetings.

Or just fired since that would have been less messy to clean up afterwards on WWE's end.

Aalyah's bad acting skills isn't helping this storyline but then again the material she's being given is equally terrible.

[Emperor Smeat]

The amount of times a kendo stick has been used in this entire Rollins & Mysterio Family storyline is probably more than the past couple years of feuds and matches combined in WWE.

Then again can say the same for the amount of times eyes have been viciously attacked.

Also :lol: at Murphy being a dumbass for falling that easily in Rollins trap.

[slik]

Probably not a great sign for ratings

[Emperor Smeat]

Either Ruby is double jointed or her arms are made out of the same stuff as a Stretch Armstrong toy since I don't think an arm can bend those ways.

[slik]

No mention of RETRIBUTION tonight so far

[Emperor Smeat]

RAW must be really hurting on talent available backstage considering the amount of segments and screen time Rollins & Murphy, Hurt Business, and Drew McIntrye's stuff has gotten for tonight show.

[Emperor Smeat]

:eek: Ali joining Retribution.

Finally something amazing happened tonight.

Him being the boss of the group is even better.

[slik]

Mustafa Ali as the leader of RETRIBUTION works for me.

Glad he's getting a push.

[Evil Vito]

On one hand, very glad Ali’s getting the chance to do something

On the other...you just know Vince loved the idea of putting a Muslim as the leader of a group that is still meant to be WWE’s answer to Antifa

[Emperor Smeat]

6-man tag match was pretty good.

This week's RAW was easily one of the worst of the year. Ali revealing himself as the leader of Retribution was the only interesting thing that happened.

These past few weeks might be the worst and/or dullest stretch of RAW shows in a long time.

[Tom Guycott]

Does he have a lame 80's movie gang name now?

Retribution has been horrible, but Ali is talented enough to at least make it interesting.

[xrodmuc316]

RAW's been pretty boring so far although to be fair, I'm also watching the Pats-Chiefs game that's been surprisingly close so far.

Hoyer stunk but Pats O got some new life once Stidham took over.

It's been a weird day as a Browns fan. Brian Hoyer started a game, and Romeo Crennel became the interim Head Coach of the Texans.

As soon as the Browns get a few wins, the universe starts throwing ghosts of the past at us to remind us fans how terrible the team has been forever :(

[Sepholio]

Does he have a lame 80's movie gang name now?

I'm gonna die laughing when he comes out and his name is Chemical.

[xrodmuc316]

I'm gonna die laughing when he comes out and his name is Chemical.

It's WWE, so it will be spelled "Kemmical" :rofl:

[Droford]

:eek: Ali joining Retribution.

Finally something amazing happened tonight.

Him being the boss of the group is even better.

I thought for sure he was turning on Crews and Ricochet but not that way

[Droford]

Mustafa Ali probably going to be Mustafa since it sounds evilish

Also funny hed go from Mustafa Ali to Ali to Mustafa Ali to Mustafa

[Droford]

Are all the matches at HIAC going to be in the Cell just because they can't raise and lower it with the Thunderdome set up?

[mike adamle]

Am I the only one who can't stand Angelo Dawkins? Everything he does looks so fake. Tired of that stupid smile he does for everything. Can't stand him on commentary when all he says is "okay okay we see you."

Montez Ford is a star in the makings though.

[Rammsteinmad]

Feels like every week people are saying it's been one of the worst Raw's ever.

[Droford]

I thought last night was actually halfway decent but I watched on dvr and cut an hour off how long it took to watch

[Gerard]

How cute, the dipshit with the dreadlocks has a predator style mask. :roll:

Even the highlights of that retribution shit are virtually unwatchable with every cameraman apparently taking a seizure when recording.

[Danny Electric]

I wonder if they will explain Ali as being the hacker which led to the start of Retribution or something.

[Fignuts]

How are we meant to care about a draft when everyone just shows up on the opposite brand whenever they want anyway?

[Evil Vito]

No, you see - they'll stick with strict roster rules this time! Pinkie swear!

[Emperor Smeat]

Feels like every week people are saying it's been one of the worst Raw's ever.

My main issue for a long time with RAW is the shows just feel like a big chore to watch and an attrition in terms of maintaining interest. 3 hours is way too long for the quality of shows WWE pumps out weekly and way too much filler and terrible stuff to shift through just to be able to enjoy the few good parts.

John Pollock mentioned on last night's Rewind-A-RAW show of how little quality in-ring action there was for the first 2 hours of the show.

Droford has the right mentality when it comes to watching weekly RAW. Just skim through the show getting rid of as much filler and dull points as possible and RAW becomes more enjoyable in the end.

[XL]

It’s very easy to skim most of the show because it’s the same shit every week.

There’s only so many times you can watch Orton/McIntyre, Hurt Business/3 other non-white dudes, Seth/Mysterio. It feels like nothing ever moves forward, like they’re in a holding pattern trying to wait out COVID.

[Droford]

Split brands dont make a ton of sense when they're filming out of the same building every week

I watch everything but the commercials and the flashbacks to earlier in the show or last week.

[Evil Vito]

Supposedly it was/is a network thing. Fox and USA want to limit cross-promotion and it'd be inevitable if the same wrestlers were on both shows carrying over the same stories.

Obviously not a universal thing though hence them doing "wild card rule" shit once a month.

[Emperor Smeat]

I watch everything but the commercials and the flashbacks to earlier in the show or last week.

Speaking of flashbacks, feels like WWE has been doing that a lot more in recent weeks.

Like besides the usual recaps of stuff that happened earlier in the show or last week, they've also been airing lengthy full video packages for certain feuds each week.

[drave]

Unsure if it is still on Hulu...... but if it is, it is condensed to 90 minutes. Still too long for my liking, but takes a lot of the filler out.


I find reading what happened, then seeking out video if it sounds good, is the best way for me to stay up on it.
