Montez Ford collapses in the ring during the commercial and they come back and he's wrestling

Did they just run a spiked drink angle with Ford?
This show has been all over the place in terms of quality. |

Masked ninja rioters probably not the best idea.
fight club, ninjas, poison, lights/microphone issues. Vince Russo in the house! |

Poor nameless box outside of the PC, didn't deserve that vicious attack.
Now I see what Ryan Satin was talking about earlier when he mentioned WWE officials were stressing a lot that this new faction isn't meant to be based on current real life situations and political stuff because that parking lot segment was pretty obvious where the inspiration came from. |

Rollins and Joe promo segment was pretty good.
Problem with Rollins and his "Monday Night Messiah" gimmick in recent months is that his promos and segments just tend to drag on because he just rambles about stuff instead of being good or effective. |

Dominick is wearing the same black hoodie as those mysterious people were wearing earlier.
Probably just a pure coincidence and not something WWE actually bothered to realize during the tapings earlier today. at Ziggler being a competitor in Shane's Underground thingy. Shane's new thing went from being something really interesting to now being a bit lame. |

at the abrupt end to RAW. Not sure if that was part of the production shenanigans gag from earlier or someone legit cut the feed early.
RAW itself was weird to say the least. First half of the show was pretty terrible even by RAW standards while the other half felt like a typical RAW episode but with some wacky ideas sprinkled in. Like not even sure if the show was entertaining trainwreck tier quality but can say it really wasn't worth the big hype going in. |

There is a rumor going around that this new faction might be called "Justus" based on a recent trademark filed by WWE.
Would fit with the potential theme of the faction and rumored plans for the group.

I mean beyond the fact it's obviously meant to be inspired by the recent riots and the people dressed up like Antifa....if they're actually called "Justus". lol because the rioters just wanna cause chaos and don't care about anything but themselves
sounds like a company run by a very old, out of touch Republican. oh wait. |

Hurt Business wrecking Raw Underground... makes sense. Lashley has an MMA background and Shelton brief time with his OTHER mentor, who was a major part of the Bloodsport shows.
All it needs is a production team that isn't run by Kevin Dunn. |

I saw a clip of the Raw Undergound stuff. Haha, that's not a shoot fight. It's just a different presentation and guys working for that environment. This is closer to what Raw should have been doing from the start.

And I'm perfectly fine with that. I think a more serious, physical tone works. This presentation works (I wanted to see the Bloodsport shows be their own thing, and I've long advocated for something along these lines.). Just don't get too cute with it.

I've also thought that it would make sense to find substitute programming for the third hour of Raw because it is just untenable and counterproductive long-term. Raw Underground being a more risque, late night program could be an answer to that. It'd be nice if they got the person in charge of it to be someone different to Kevin Dunn. From a booking/aesthetic production perspective, I wonder what MVP could do if he were given some sort of governance over a show? Wrestling is so fucking white. Get a black guy to put his two cents in and try and pump it full of something other than Kevin Dunn. |

People made this sound like Brawl for All. This was just good presentation of two guys having a fight. You know...wrestling?

If the idea was to present a new way for squash matches, it wasn't really that effective. The first guy they showcased was starting to get winded after just a few seconds of work. |

Maybe it is a way to bring back squash matches but with a different twist. There certainly was no back and forth action.
My only problem is if MVP has such a devastating judo throw or Shelton a back shattering spine buster, then why would they not use those moves in normal matches? |

Nothing means anything in WWE anymore. The way to go for me personally is just to enjoy the PPVs as best I can and watch the awesome roster. I also can’t care about the winners or losers because it just doesn’t fucking matter.
Hurt Business looked strong tonight. Big shit. It won’t mean anything in a month. Corbin retired Angle, won KOTR. Who cares? He’s an entry level feud now. Who remembers Rollins going over Lesnar twice last year on PPV? Who’s MITB again? Whatever happened to Rhea? Didn’t Owens go over Rollins at Mania? That earned him nothing. The point I’m trying to make is, no matter what happens with the current generation of talent on the 5 hours of television a week, nothing matters. Because when the WWE actually gets focused and wants to draw money, it gets focused on the stars of the 1990s and 2000s rather than investing in current talent. It’s a tough watch these days |
