This is pretty good
|
This is so weird. Like, WWE doesn't usually care if they suck. They actively point it out then don't change anything. But they went with turning it into an angle, which suggests that they understand their perception with fans, but their answer is to focus on Corbin and Slater.
|
And Nattie. Can't forget old Farting Nat.
|
Good main-event imo
|
Can't even be bothered to stream it, lol.
|
Gable apparently wearing trunks is probably the most exciting development.
|
Good look for him, actually. He's in shape, so why not show it off? I can see this helping change perception of him too.
|
Who won the main event?
|
Has this show put everyone to bed?

Hahaha. I always get a laugh out of that. Like, wrestlers cutting their promos looking into empty seats and then believing the company line of they're doing awesome.

Eh, they've got no one to blame but themselves.
|
It's a combo of:
Big Names missing in action Product being 'really bad' overall for a long period of time Ticket prices being too expensive for many, people w/ kids in particular. |

It's 3 hours man. We have NOTHING to look forward to. We are SPOILED. I used to DROOL over 1 hour of MONDAY NIGHT RAW per week. Then two hours was a gift from heaven. But now it's just too damn much. I'd like to watch Smackdown and NXT as well but I can only find time to sometimes watch Raw and all of the PPV's or Takerovers. I would like to watch more but it sucks and its too long and not worth it.
|
Also for me personally I didn't have access to UPN til like 2002 so Smackdown never became a habit for me.
|
Also I am drunk and have no idea what happened on Raw except Gable won the tag titles I think which is good but I know Raw this time of year is the shits.
|
I feel like WWE has lost all of the mystique. There used to be so much unknown but the internet has slowly strangled the whole industry.

Raw was pretty much the same as last week and the week before and maybe the week before that.
I really don't watch Raw now and the only reason I record it and watch it is purely out of habit and also a tiny bit of feeling like if I miss an episode, then that would be the episode where something remotely entertaining and good happens but I'm always wrong. The only matches I watched were the two involving Heath Slater as this whole "Referee Heath Slater" thing was the only thing that I had a shred of interest in. To be fair, it is kinda different (and I like different). There's a new face appearing among the usual faces on Raw and it's Slater. Also, I like Slater. He's also being forced to be a referee which is also different from what we've been getting so far, so I decided to watch it and see where it went. I was disappointed. I don't get why Vince & Co. thought it would be a good idea to have Slater knock Rollins off the ladder and then eat a superkick from Rollins. They actually managed to make people feel bad for Slater and he was a sympathetic character that could have easily have led to him being a popular face once he defied Corbin in some way or stood up to Lashley & McIntyre but no, instead, we get Slater screwing over a face and the face laying him out for doing so, much the great cheers of the crowd. That moment just showed you that all the sympathy for Slater had gone. We know that "Slater has no choice" and is doing it "because he has a family" but those excuses are just terrible, paper thin and cliché as all hell. Micheal Cole's attempts at trying to make us feel sorry for Slater was just poor, as Cole himself didn't even sound like he felt sorry for Slater. Cole just sounded like his usual robotic self, yelling, reading lines and saying whatever is fed into his ear. And don't even get me started on Renee at the announce table. I can only hope that next week we see Corbin do something to Slater for "ruining his chances at becoming Intercontinental Champion" and not Slater either attacking or costing Rollins a match because of what happened this week and cementing Slater as a heel in the process. Because that's clearly what Raw needs, more heels. |

SmackDown was awful the week I watched recently outside a Daniel Bryan promo.
