He had 2 all time greats in their prime, it was like Switzer winning a SB with the Cowboys after Jimmy was fired:mjlol:. What did he do in WCW or TNA? With that said i agree that RAW sucks donkey ass:russ:

And WCW and T:flabbynfif:A rating during GOATsso era are higher than the WWE right now :mjlol:

Usually the first half of the match straight :russell: because the viewer knows for a fact it's going to a break


Yeah I'm not sitting through a fukking Enzo/Cass vs Shining Stars commercial break I'm bailing and probably not coming back till 30 minutes later if at all. This is Raw in a nutshell 1st hour

15-20 minute promo that gets interrupted by GM and the "by the way that match starts right now" spot cut to break
Come back match as already started we get about 6/7 minutes of action and another break
Come back and we get 4 kickouts of finishers and some cheap win or a schmoz ending

First 30-40 minutes of show wasted on bullshyt then they throw out some corny ass R-Truth backstage or a bullshyt squash match ain't nobody trying to sit through then when hour 2 comes around another promo segment and break that leads into another match been same stale ass booking of shows forever. How come someone can't get they ass beat backstage to open a show give me a reason to get into the show I don't wanna hear Rollins and Steph on the mic go on and on and on if y'all got real beef y'all should be scraping in the parking lot or the locker room.

agreed on all counts.

last night's opening segment was heat until shane came out and interrupted. we could see that cena is about to challenge aj for the title, we do not need shane to come out and get in the middle for no reason just to make it 'official'. let these guys handle their business like men.

there was so much f'n tension in the ring, it was great. cena and ambrose were going off on each other, ambrose looked like he wanted to f'n kill him and there's all this heat and HERE COMES THE MONEYYYYYY!!!!!!

:camby:stay the fukk backstage we don't need you dancing right now. this ain't about you.

It's not just the booking though that's part of it. It's also oversaturation. 3 fukking hours is way too long to commit to a TV show where a lot of the same things are going to be happening. How many rematches or similar talking segments are we subjected to each week? NXT proved that the hour long model can work. SD! has always felt like a much smoother show to get through because it's two hours. shyt, if you DVR SD! you can get through it in an hour and twenty minutes.

There's way too much filler on RAW. The cruiserweights should help out but it's going to take time to win people back. Plus, football is even more popular now than it was 15 years ago. It's a long road back. Good thing for WWE is that despite losing viewers, it's still one of the highest rated things on cable and most discussed things on social media.

It amused me when Owens was on Jericho's podcast and Russo came up. KO pretty much said dude is an Internet troll heel who doesn't actually believe what he's saying, and thinks they might have heat because he blocked Russo on twitter back in his ROH days for talking shyt on the young bucks.
:russ:

I do enjoy Russo's internet character bro, even when I don't agree with him bro. FROM THE BEGINNING BRO! Someone needs to tell him what a carb is tho

Problem one to me...there is NO CONSEQUENCE to missing raw on a given week. I do nothing to go out of my way to watch any episode of raw and little to watch SD!. Its simply because nothing happens that I can't READ to catch up on. I don't even think the wrestling fan base has dwindled on the level people think...but there is just no reason to watch wwe on an event basis every week. CWC has more impact because the stakes are higher for the wrestlers and that shyt is recorded.
