[12/28] Monday Night Raw Thread: Return of the Mack

[duh brain]

When you want them to cheer for the Samoan but they really want a vanilla midget

 

[Vinny Lupton]

Sasha vs Becky was just awful. They were interacting like amateur divas that Johnny Ace found in a catalog. Wtf happened. The crowd wasn't into it at all except the high spots

I blame the writers and creative team. The people wanted to cheer Sasha but they made her do the stupid Boston vs NY shyt. If they came out and had a smark match..you know what, let me shut up. fukk the main roster

Side note, Becky is hiding a nice body under her wack azz costume

Someone backstage must hate Sasha by making Team B.A.D cut these what almost seems like intentionally awful promos. The match went too long for a stakeless T.v match that had little to no build. It should have went 8 minutes, been agented better with less restholds and had Becky win. The crowd will not invest as much in Sasha matches in general when there's no story and the result is a forgone conclusion.

Goldberg booking does not help anyone long-term.

Nah..she's supposed to win with a crew behind her. Just a bad crowd. NY and Philly getting weak again. Circular.

There's no feuds involving Sasha at the moment. Becky winning would have made more sense story wise, especially after Sasha took out Naomi & Tamina.

It was so badly formatted. It went too long for a raw match, Badly agented and too many commercials hurt the flow of what could have been a really good match.

 

[Playaz Eyez]

It feels like it's been years since Cole, King, and JBL actually added to the matches instead of detracting from them, or being totally useless during them. They may as well be SVR 2009 commentary. No one knows their roles, running down heels who are supposed to look strong, taking shots at faces, then within the same match, attempting to prop up the heels and being positive to faces. The writers and those 3 need to be placed on waivers already.

I didn't think the match was as bad as the Brooklyn crowd made it out to be.

They were expecting NXT quality, but with the main roster WWE style favours people who wrestle closer to a power or hoss style and is harder on people who wrestle more like Becky & Sasha.

...

The parts worth watching: the opening promo, Sasha Banks vs Becky Lynch, the matches involving New Day and the Lucha Dragons, and the main event with Cena and Del Rio.

 

[prophecypro]

Anyone else shocked by how bad the in-ring chemistry is between these two chicks tonight?

Not really.
That was the thing Meltz and Alvarez said when the Divas Revolution started. There is a difference between being down in Orlando and rehearsing a match to be taped all week and doing for weeks vs being on the road 200 times a year with people of different skill and then ending up facing someone on live TV.

Went too long for a Raw match? U know how wild that sounds..they give Blandy and Cena 20 min Superman matches all the time.

The way it was formatted it came off like a 10-12 minute match dragged to 15. There was very little build for a match that long. It should have been built for weeks to a pay-per-view match that goes 15 so it won't be interupted by commercials. Main eventers go longer in matches because of their status anyway.

 

[TBdaGhost]

Crazy how Vince shows up for the first time in a year and shyts on the entire rosters mic skills.

The GOAT heel

Even though that opening segment was kind of wierd and unnecessary

Except they had a near 5 star matche on LIVE TV and Becky in particular is a higher caliber worker than practically the entire roster.....

Who cares what the build is....a worker is a worker. Becky has too many 30 minute 4 star matches to be viewed in this weak Diva oriented viewed capacity. Nikki Bella may need endless practice and a build but Rebecca Knox? Yeah right

 

[malbaker86]

Wtf is up with the Spanish announce bleed through? Watching the rerun. Didn't catch the 8 PM run...Who's getting fired for this sh!t?

I'm dying here. On the replay in Canada, you can here the Spanish announcers team, not the American announce team atm. They are so much more animated than Cole and JBL...

@malbaker86, you in Canada?

Lol im in Jax, FL man. we sat there in straight mode when the feed switched bc we didn't even touch the remote. Eventually we had to manually go into the cable box audio setting and reconfigure it

Shoutout to @RammerJammer for suggesting to look into my SAP settings
