It's so predictable that you literally miss nothing if you don't watch. Alexa announces the MITB participants. Huge shock that both announcements turn into 'impromptu' matches.

Becky Two Belts (who is very quickly wearing out her welcome) comes out and once again will not be the character that everyone loved last year, and then Lacey will come out and start a fight.

Sami Zayn will do the same thing he's been doing the last few weeks, which was kinda funny at first, but now it's just repetitive.

Bray Wyatt's Pee-Wee Herman impression.

Contract signing that ends in a fight. Etc, etc, etc....

Bray Wyatt is the only thing worth watching, anyone that thinks otherwise is a sociopath

Bostonfan0118 · 04-30-2019, 11:17 AM

Cant stand becky. Literally all her promos involve calling someone a "dope" or a "wierdo"

Why are Lucha Houseparty still a thing???

Bray is okay right now, the only interesting character.

Why does Corbin still dress like a waiter

Also predictable tag matches each and every week....

Its 2019 and Hawkins and Ryder are tag champs... LOL

Hating the Bray thing, but I hated his old gimmick too, I would just get rid of him. Lashley should be booked a lot better. The MITB winner for the women must be coming from SD...RIGHT?! I hope anyway, fingers crossed for Ember Moon. Wish Ruby was in it.

I would love to see an Ember win!

Unless you care about the Lucha Houseparty then no...

I'm guessing Bayley, if she gets in.

Neither were or are bad. Complaining is just the cool thing to do. WWE is actively taking applications to one the creative team. I don't hear about anyone kicking the door in to apply.

Honest question, not even trying to attack you right now... but which parts exactly of Raw and SD this week did you find exciting and must see? Both shows have done almost NOTHING to advance the programs forward in any meaningful way this week, IMO.

USO's vs Revival will be good and you need stuff (even if it's humor) to get a feud going.
MITB matches are set which was the point of the 2 shows.
Seth vs AJ had a good start to their feud
Owens vs Kofi has brought out Kofi's mean side.
There was a lot of positive about the shows this week. I think hating on stuff is just the "cool" thing to do.

Usos vs Revival will be a good match, but the Usos suddenly going to horrible humor that will get the crowd to turn on them isn't a good thing.

MITB lineups being announced is something you can read in 10 seconds and get the same thing out of it.

I'll agree with you on the closing segments both being good, but that's about it. That and the Firefly Funhouse.

It’s not the “cool” thing to do, it’s just the truth. The product absolutely sucks. They’re bleeding viewers by the hundreds of thousands for a reason.

Someone with some time on their hands should see how many hundreds of times you've said something like this.

The product is absolutely as stale as can be. Anyone who pays attention could probably predict 75% or more of the content each week.

They are always in the top 5 of original programming, That's what Networks care about the most.

They won’t be for long if the trend continues. They’re doing TNA numbers from 2010. WWE fans were laughing at those kind of numbers back then. The third hour of Raw did less than 2 million viewers last night.

People trying to defend the product is laughable. The show is as stale as can be now, with a target audience of 5 year olds.

Glad raw did under 2m for the third hour. I hope it continues to plummet, and maybe one day they'll get their crap together.

asujbl · 05-01-2019, 08:45 AM

Audience hated it last night... hated it

I was there with my daughter, she cares way more than I do, and she was ready to bounce early.

There were more people there between 6:30 and 8:00 (waiting in merchandise lines) than actually stayed for the show. We literally, not an exaggeration, literally could have sat in any seat we want for 2 straight rows. We were the only 3 people there for about a 40 seat radius... and we were sitting in premium seats.

I don't know how it looked on TV but it was straight up awful live.

Did they block out the CBJ chant on TV? That's all that anyone cared about since the Hockey team was playing their Playoff game at the other Arena down the road. The CBJ chant was by far the loudest thing last night and it wasn't close.

You're just trying to be 'cool'.

They have to be scrambling behind the scenes, because the trend is not sustainable. They missed revenue targets badly last week, and they aren't going to reverse that with the product they are putting out right now.

Gurds · 05-01-2019, 10:02 AM

Dana White said that Lesnar is retiring from MMA.

Lesnar, Taker and Goldberg announced for that ppv in Saudi Arabia.

Bostonfan0118 · 05-01-2019, 10:10 AM

As long as Lesnar doesn't become champion again, I am fine with that. Raw can't afford another part-timing champion.
