This show is definitely due to half the roster suffering from elevated liver enzymes.

Tamina and Nia move like aliens took over human bodies and are trying to figure out how to walk.

I want to be glad that Amber moon is in the main event but Nia Jax is also in the main event so that kills that

Just noticed RAW has darkened the lights in much of the arena. Though I suspect that is due to ticket sales I prefer that look.

I didn't think the day would come but I actually really miss the Great Khali and his matches all of them

Judging by the crowd reaction to the end of that match Ronda is easily the biggest star on WWE RAW currently

Dean AMbrose's character sucks.
That whole madman thing is just him making stupid faces. |

I haven't watched anything to do with RAW. This comment is more directed to the thread subtitle "it can't be worse than last week".
Remember that one RAW that was shaping up to be so goddamn bad that God Herself took time out from playing skeeball to send a blizzard up the east coast that made them wipe the entire show and essentially improvise a few in-studio promos?! Until another act of nature outvotes Vince again, there is always a possibility of it being worse. |

Rhyno apparently announced his retirement during the commercial.
If legit, wow. Dude's been wrestling for 20 years now and goes out in a 90 second match with no follow-up on camera. Like when Gallows and Anderson laid out the Dudleyz during their "farewell" and it was never mentioned again. Jesus. At least get SOMETHING out of it. |

We've had authority figures be major on-air characters for 20 years.
We need to end that. Have them be more like a guy in an office who makes a major announcement every few months and then fucks off. |

Like, the shit with Kurt last month where Drew murdered him and basically put him out to pasture was great for Drew. If Kurt never wrestles again, he did wonders for Drew.
Heath Slater at this point and time isn't going to be 2018 Drew McIntyre, but shit, give them 10 minutes or something. The crowd gets to say goodbye to Rhyno and Heath gets a little more credibility for when you continue to beat him like a drum on Superstars. Cut out one of the 7 replays of the Riott Squad bringing out a table or something. This company breaks a hundred dollar bill to get change to get a soda out of a vending machine and then throws the other $99 in the trash. |

It is kind of another thing NXT is doing right. William Regal isn't actively interfering with careers every week. He's either there to make a major decision on a matchup, announce the next TakeOver PPV, or introduce a new roster member. That drama they spend on some asshat "running the show" on RAW/Smackdown could be time spent on helping make someone else on the roster for the future. |

I imagine there is a reason they kept the Rhyno retirement announcement off of TV.
I have a feeling Heath gets inserted as the special referee in Braun vs Corbin at TLC. Corbin will offer to keep Rhyno on if Heath just "does his job". Heath is going to screw Corbin so Braun picks up the win. If they gave Rhynos announcement the air time, it eliminates the angle from being used (which would make giving Heath the ref shirt pointless) or it telegraphs the outcome. |

... that's a lot of faith in WWE writing there, Seph. Faith they haven't proven they deserve. They more than likely just didn't think about it at all.

Some sites say Slater got a job as a referee not only for a single match.
No idea how true it is, though. |

Probably the worst Raw ever. Holy crap stop shoving the women down our throats. Ronda is a good story for business. The rest of the Raw women are not interesting, I hate Nia Jax but wow is Tamina a charisma vacuum.
Ziggler sucks, Balor is too small, Ambrose and his walk and invisible lats annoy me. It's just bad man. Raw sucks. This is probably the weakest it's ever been. |

Speaking the truth ^^
Ambrose sucks. Acting "mental"? Try "autistic". |

These posters are creating a lie the same way WWE does with attendance figures. I'd say at least 2000 people don't show up for dark matches or main event tapings. The first photo has far more people during Raw then the 2nd pic during main event. Not being an apologist, but the main event pic is a misrepresentation of the actual attendance. |

The most watched videos on WWE's YouTube page since Survivor Series have involved Becky Lynch, Ronda Rousey, Charlotte Flair, Braun Strowman, Seth Rollins, Dean Ambrose, Randy Orton & Rey Mysterio. Views are in the millions for each. The rest are doing 'just ok'.

The move of SDLive to FOX I feel will either be a glorious success (due to FOX giving meticulous and specific guidelines in regards to production quality and storylines...the Kevin Dunn era could soon end) or be a massive failure. My gut feeling is it will be one or the other.
I predict they will send the big stars to SD, because why would FOX want to promote stars on a NBCUniversal Cable station, and WWE will view FOX as potential to garner more viewers and fans via being available to more eyeballs than USA Network. Worst case scenario is RAW's ratings collapse significantly on USA as it clearly becomes the "B" show and SD flops bc no one wants to watch it on a Friday night, regardless of the network. SD possibly gets relegated to Fox Sports shortly after. Then WWE, in a worst case scenario, has both of their signature programs at a significant ratings deficit and both draw for live tv what current house shows draw, 1,500 - 2,000 fans. Oddly enough if that happens I could still see WrestleMania being a huge success, because there will always be enough of a hardcore fanbase to attend a stadium show, once yearly, despite the current tv, based on the name recognition of the event. |

Now, I wouldn’t be surprised if these were great opportunities for “piss breaks”/concession trips, but it would seem that’s a lot of people in the toilet/at the stall. |

My problem was the Main Event photo. Yes the stands are still pretty empty, but like I said, it is less empty in the pics actually taken during Raw. It is the people posting the pics stretching the truth to make it look worse than it actually is. |

You’d expect Main Event to be half empty because who gives a fuck about Main Event, right?
The Raw pictures are more telling. As bad as these AMA segments with Bayley & Banks are, I can’t imagine that Section was full before/after. |

Also, what in God's name is Ambrose's theme all about?
Vince & CFO$ actually found a way to make Cesaro's theme seem like a musical work of art. |
