Read the results. Sound like a really disappointing episode.

Tbh that's fine to me as long as the non-wrestling stuff is interesting (which it isn't), especially since 95% of Raw matches are really boring and the same exact type of match every time. Would rather not watch 30 minute Corbin and Lashley tag matches
In the "Attitude era" a lot of the matches were really short I think |

Its always been that way. Why people pay to watch tv tapings is beyond me.
Memphis used to do it right. Everything was there infront of the people so they were involved throughout. Live audiences spend most of the night paying for a view of a tv thats worse than what they would got at home. They choose this. |

the thing thats bugging me at 3:15 am is why everyone was backstage for the party, its like, none of the people that actually wrestled were back there other than for the r truth stuff, seemed strange

You know what never happens on Raw anymore: Title changes...more specifically World Heavyweight Championship title switches. I remember during the Attitude Era that there could have been a title change on any given night. And I do not mean the Hardcore Championship either. There was always that aura that a title change could happen, even when wrestlers like The Rock, Stone Cold, HHH, Jericho, etc. were holding onto the belt. |

Problem is with today's society and their low attention spans. Most people cannot go 5 minutes without looking at their phones.
Even when they do these short matches now, they don't have a purpose behind them. Not even squash matches have a purpose anymore becuase there is no payoff in the end. |

Most WWE fans are trained to pop for the entrance and boo the shitty finish, and that's it. They are conditioned to not care about matches. Only the best workers can make a fan forget about whatever they want to chant and invest in the match.

They are doing a good job of conditioning lately that nothing matters and to not follow any stipulations/continuity.

It’s car crash clusterfuck TV where so much happens that nothing matters including the matches vs. Nothing TV where nothing happens so nothing matters including the matches.
I think I’m going car crash if faced with those two options. Goddammit, I hope AEW works out. |

If someone crossdressed in WWE today, it would instantly give them more personality than just about the entire roster.

I was actually just reminded of the great comedic relief of Santina Marella. I’d be down for The Great Galli dominating the women’s division though. Fuck it. Play it straight and take in the praise from LBGTQ activists everywhere.

I did not watch this RAW, and have not watched RAW in a few weeks.
That is all. |

Weird place for this, but since it was on the show...
Does Dolph not remember that Big E debuted as HIS heavy? I definitely would have brought up that parallel. Missed opportunity. Anyway, outside of Cesaro/Richochet, this was a pretty trash show. |

rofl I was so busy pointing out that Big E and Xavier came way later for Kofi, that I completely forgot about Dolph and Big E. ThT makes it extra dumb.

Say what you like about Russo, but at least he tried things and tried to give everyone something to do. He needed a filter obviously, but no one can say he wasn’t creative.
Would def choose chaos and nonsensical stories over nothing at all |

I guess I've learned to skip RAW now. If anything is worthwhile, it usually shows up on /r/SquaredCircle. Haven't even checked this week's highlights on their YouTube channel yet.

Russo was absolutely better.
It comes down to the simple fact that boring is worse than bad. |

At least of someone hates something you know it takes emotion. Being apathetic is the worst death to give someone.

Giving everyone something to do is not a good thing. You need to emphasize certain things, and Russo never understood that. I don't want to make the choice between Russo television and current television. I will just go "neither" and hit myself with a hammer instead. |
