RAW 25 was a FLOP....and it didn't have to be

[The Intergalactic Koala]

I actually recorded it (which I hardly even do anymore) just to see what would happen. The reactions here, combined with what I actually saw soured me on watching it. I watched Undertaker's promo on YouTube and I thought it was to the point where I can't even figure out what he was saying.

RAW 1000 was a way better milestone show than this one. There was actual thought put into it, it advanced storylines up to the next year, and multiple generations of wrestlers were able to shine. Plus, it felt like a show that was more important because of the atmosphere. It was a show that felt like you needed to see it.

What are people going to take from this? What are they going to remember? Where did they build anticipation for the Royal Rumble? What did the company give us that makes it worth watching every week?

The road to WrestleMania hasn't even started yet and it already feels like it's going to be a long one.

Also the fact that the current roster had their moment to shine vs RAW 25 where it was a geriatric wank fest, Even The Rock took a L from CM Punk. It would have done some good if Balor Club would have ended DX on Raw rather it had been the passing of the torch. The crowd would have easily forgiven the fact that they spent 800 dollars to watch Raw with their favorite old ass superstars.

y'all were expected 205 guys to be given the spotlight on a celebratory show

The show's audience has been dwindling for like the last 5 years and people still do the "But you'll still watch!" shyt.

This was the first ep I watched in full in quite a while. i barely follow WWE these days.

Yeah, I used to be in TSC laughing it up and trying to enjoy the show. This is my first time watching RAW/Smackdown in full in a long time. I'm over it.

To be fair. Even though I been over the kick, I come through in the TSC because wrestling is still a past time of mines and it seems like more of shooting the shyt, vs raging neckbeards who constantly think the shyt is reality. For instance, I'll probably be in for the Rumble and some other PPVs depending on the card, but beyond that . Folks in here make it tolerable to watch, even if it's background noise which I truly appreciate. TSC is like a family that i'm not ashamed of being apart of.

I tuned in for the open and the last about 20 minutes and in a LONG while, and it reminded me why I don't turn on this shyt much anymore

LOL. Like the KKKliq or DX-whatever would let the humpty dumpty bros and 5 foot Finn have actual shine.....not on their watch and The Revival....Don't wanna imagine this company in 10 years

Theres been a dx reunion every year since 2006

 

[Buzzed Lightyear]

As soon as I saw that we didn't get an "And that's the bottom line..." out of Stone Cold & the fact the Booker T & Michael Cole said it, I knew we were in for a fukkeryfest.

 

[Redwood]

The whole show didn't feel right. Vince/Austin showed us

Was Hulk even on Raw 10? If not then why he's whining again

AOTM

 

[Reality Check]

Bruce Prichard, arguably the hottest/most entertaining person in wrestling right now, was relegated to a group vignette and a few lines. Brother Love wasn't even really a staple of RAW. So they clearly brought him back due to his new found fame, but didn't let him be himself.

Pritchard could have challenged Austin for pop of the night if they put him out there in front of a live crowd. Plus with his newfound fame coming at the expense of his time with the WWE instead of a WWE authorized show, I don't think there was a huge rush to showcase him prominently.

Not to mention the show was a complete clusterfukk with all the people they announced as appearing.

The WWE 24 special for it will be better than RAW 25 itself

What's this new found fame everyone is talking about

If they let him cook the audience would have no idea what's going on

This is what happens when the marks think that a fake fighting podcaster is somehow someone with a mainstream appeal, just take one look at that fat ass and you’d know why the WWE didn’t want his ass on TV

Yep
