WWE Raw Discussion Thread

[Christian Slater]

JeriKO

 

[Stevencc]

The opening segment was entertaining until Enzo came out and did his shtick. I like how Foley suggested that the mixed tag match exemplified the new way of thinking in the new era was when I and I'm guessing everyone watching knew that was exactly what was going to happen as soon as Enzo strolled out to the ring without Cass. The match itself was enjoyable, Owens on commentary was gold as usual.

Another squash match for BRAAAAUUUUNNNNN.

Golden Truth vs Shining Stars was a throwaway but at least it had some comedy.

The Rollins and Balor segment was good, I'm looking forward to this feud. Hopefully they give it time. Balor does need to improve on his promos though (as Christian said), especially if he is going against someone as good in that respect as Rollins is.

Rusev vs Henry was fine. Reigns coming out afterwards was interesting. He is hated because of his apparently unjustified super push to the World title. Is his reputation irrevocably tainted or would a mid-card run allow him to re-establish himself and "earn" his way back into headlining?

Titus vs Young was boring.

Nia squash - she's brutal.

NEW DAY PENIS JOKE. Match was not as good as the penis joke.

Cesaro vs Sheamus - couldn't care less about either of these guys.

I can't stand Heath Slater but that segment was comical.

Rollins/Zayn was a very good match.

Brock "no estrogen for me, please" Lesnar did a good job of standing there as Heyman played the hype man. Nice interruption from Randy.

Decent RAW.

Not great but it still feels quite fresh. Liked the opening and Sasha kicking off Raw is great when that spot has been reserved for HHH/Steph/Reigns/Rollins for the last 12 months. Jericho and KO has potential, fully on board with a Reigns/Rusev feud and the way they shot that RKO was superb - I don't think anyone cared about Lesnar/Orton when it was announced but they're building it expertly.

Not a great show overall but passable compared to 90% of Raws over the last couple of years. Smackdown needs a good showing tonight after that tedious borefest last week, a smarkfest that even smarks hated.

It was essentially Vince McMahon trying to be in touch with the kids. Reminded me of this:

 

[Baz]

With the exception of the opening segment and the closing segment I thought Raw royally sucked this week.

 

[Luke]

Meh it was alright, the ending was good though.

Not giving up on this Roman push are they, yes they are pushing him down the card with the US title but here we go again Rusev gobbing off about America and now they want Roman to save the title, yawn.

 

[Baz]

Even though Cesaro won a match for a future title shot haha.

 

[Luke]

Haha yeah that'll probably never happen.

Looks like him and Sheamus will be carrying on.

On a side note I was a bit worried raw would drag after the split with half the roster but so far it's been okay with the crusierweights also to come it should be fine.

 

[Saddlerrad]

The new set, logo, commentator set up, music theme - all reminded me of the early 00's when my brother flicked over to highlights last night.

Looked much better.

 

[Stevencc]

Then there's the camera cuts...

 

[JoeJoeJoeJoe]

[Stevencc]

Sorry Joe, the man's a certified ponce.

 

[T.A]

Noticed Conor McGregor has had a pop at most of the WWE

I didn't mean no disrespect to the @wwe fans. What I meant to say was that I'd slap the head off your entire roster. And twice on Sunday's.

Roman Reigns, Big E and Rusev all responded to the bait along with Kurt Angle and MVP..

Fun haha

 

[Baz]

Would be pretty funny to see Conor twat Roman Reigns.......

 

[RavenBish]

I bet Vince laughed his socks off writing that Rusev/Reigns segment. Small penis joke and the woman ends up covered in cake.

 

[Baz]

Possibly....however Raw was rather boring overall.

 

[Stevencc]

Awful RAW.

 

[Oaf]

Yeah, pretty shit, non progressive episode. The sort that you could have missed and not actually missed out on anything. Shame after the last few weeks.

 

[Stevencc]

BROCK SWORE!

 

[Luke]

Bored watching that Raw, couldn't be arsed watching the main event.

Hoping Summerslam and the Raw after (ones after PPV usually can b good) get me back enthusiastic as I'm not at the moment.

 

[Stevencc]

It was better than last week, at least!

Loved the Jericho/Owens backstage interview.

 

[Bluebird_Dai]

Heath Slater is the best thing in WWE right now, which is kinda ironic with him being a free agent!

 

[Stevencc]

He's actually being very entertaining at the moment, yeah.

 

[last request]

Just saw Oaf made his return to Raw earlier this month, congrats mate.

 

[RavenBish]

lots of rumours going round about further suspensions.

 

[Saddlerrad]

Balor out for 6 months.

 

[Stevencc]

That's so harsh on Finn - just as I was starting to like the bastard!

 

[Bluebird_Dai]

One day Raw isn't going to be absolute horse piss and be worth watching again. And that day shall be glorious.

 

[Libertine]

Unbelievable bad luck for Balor. Hopefully he'll get a huge pop when he returns in time for Mania. Gotta be Seth for the title now.

 

[Luke]

Owens Balor was pencilled in at the next PPV for the title with Jericho being added as a triple threat at the one after. Would have like to have seen that in fairness, what a shame.

I love Seth but think I would like Owens to win the title, that would be a nice new direction. Please god not Roman tho ffs.
