Ugh...Rollins. Time to switch over to the Pacers/Heat game.

One of these days, I'm going to figure out which game song sounds almost just like Rollins entrance theme.

Think I've heard something very similar from the Metroid Prime series but been way too lazy to bother looking it up or from where in the games. Also been years since I last played a game from that series.

:eek: a WWE contract signing segment not ending in a brawl or something getting destroyed.

That distraction block by Dominik was meaninglessness since Carrillo still lost very quickly right after it.

Dominik probably regrets signing with WWE right now.

Yikes at his back.

Rey Rey with that language.

That commercial for this week's episode of NXT didn't sound that appealing.

All the hype was towards the Cole vs. McAfee feud which still feels lame, especially as a Takeover worthy feud and a quick shout out to a potential squash match on the card.

First hour of RAW was a lot better than last week's first hour but the matches were nothing special. Almost the whole first hour revolved around the Rollins vs. Rey/Dominik feud and the Street Profits vs. Andrade & Garza tag feud.

USA Network advertising them airing NHL Playoff games during this month is interesting.

Based on the current tv schedule, USA Network doesn't have any NHL games announced for this week but nothing has been announced for next Wednesday's set of games.

Did Natty and Lana raid some random 90s era wardrobe closet to find those clothes they are wearing?

Mickie James, still hot.

One of these days Erik is going to snap and become a badass Viking submission machine from all the ugly insults he's been getting.

:lol: at R-Truth being one of Tozawa's ninjas.

this looks corny af

Outside of contract signing segment and Rollins & Murphy whacking the crap out of Domink, RAW has been somewhat dull or skippable so far.

lol they're definitely subbing out different people cause there was nobody that tall on Friday

Dominik Dijakovic is probably the tall guy if I had to guess.

These constant camera cuts are just going to quickly kill whatever lingering interesting RAW Underground might have.

RAW underground is clearly just going to be a vehicle to bring back Brock and get him over super hard again. They'll use him to put someone else over again at some point after making him appear unbeatable again. Regardless, Brock is def the last boss of Underground.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Also they did it again, 2nd week in a row they said raw underground was at 10pm and instead they had it at 9 54 and a different match was in the ring at 10pm. <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/smh?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#smh</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/WWERaw?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#WWERaw</a></p>&mdash; Mike Charlip (@MikeJC821) <a href="https://twitter.com/MikeJC821/status/1293004283059875840?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 11, 2020</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Asuka vs. Bayley was pretty good. Not one of the better Asuka vs. Bayley/Sasha matches in recent weeks but still was the best match on tonight's show.

1000% agreed. There should be a max of 3 camera cuts per minute. Also, none of the cuts should include any visible zooming in, zooming out, or shaking of any kind.

WWE has enough real tough guys on the roster to make an Underground fight club tournament actually work but their shitty booking and production would probably just ruin it instead.

Also, did the Hurt Business forget about it after one week? Why aren't they there again?

Nobody there is that stupid to take on Shayna right?

:lol: at the dick grab spot.

Didn't Shane promise the dancers from last week were going to fight this week?

If that's the end of the RAW Underground segments tonight then that's another thing randomly dropped besides the Hurt Business taking over as new management.

Owens vs. Orton was very good.

:lol: at Flair getting low blowed after that very passionate speech.

This current run of Randy's has been his best work in a long while.

This week's RAW was somewhat good overall.

First and last 30 minutes of RAW was pretty great. Everything else was not so much and mostly skippable.

If they really do go with Charlotte vs Orton the only way I can see it happening is if Charlotte enters the men's royal rumble (with historical precedent that she can, see Chyna) to get a title shot at Mania vs Orton. She also gets to make history as the first woman to win the Mens Rumble and when she defends her dads honor she can be the first woman to win the WWE Championship

why did they do this

If they had done that with fans someones camera flash would have gone off and ruined it

Retribution is soo lame af

WWE’s production is bad theater. Retribution is possibly in the top ten stables of all-time. Not as bad as The Dark Order though. Raw was no doubt better than AEW.

Cause you know, nothing is scarier than some 5'5 people throwing a cinder block when no one is home...and security doesn't exist.

They are rioting but not out of anger, cause every time they break something they are all laughing and cheering. It's like if Beavis and Butthead break something, then laugh and say "whoa, that was cool!"

When they come out on Smackdown they should just have Braun Strowman destroy them all to show how dangerous he is. Then have retribution never show up again.
