Naw man, Raw has been pretty decent.

I think we are in an adjustment period where they moving away from Orton and Cena dominating the whole main event scene

Its gonna take some time for people to see AJ, Roman, Dean, Cesaro, and Owens as Raw main eventers

Im just waiting on that Seth return for Summerslam. Best thing to happen to his WWE career indirectly was to get hurt and people miss him again

Dude was getting stale last year

AJ Styles vs Roman is a joke. We know Styles doesnt even have an outside chance, and Roman sucks in the ring to boot. Even tho we know who's winning, least it'd be great for them to have an incredible match.

Enzo/Cass vs Dudleys is pointless. Dudleyz are played out at this point.

Shane "running" RAW is pointless b/c he's not really shaking things up much. It's just more of the same.

I like exciting matches and more wrestlers, but it's not meshing well yet.

Raws were viewable, but ratings went down.That was a weak post-mania this year. By Summer, things will rock again, and Summerslam will be ppv of the year.

I get what @jadillac is saying, you need fresh stories to couple great matches but I think everyone who isn't satisfied should be a little patient. The AJ/Roman angle is pretty intriguing now with the Bullet Club involvement. There's plenty of possibilities there including Balor debuting and leading the Bullet Club or a swerve with the Bullet Club aligning with Roman and costing AJ the title match. Also, the Shane stuff should lead to a feud with HHH/Steph if you're into Mcmahon fukkery.

Those two stories alone are better than anything this time last year or even two years ago.

True, if only we had the likes of Zayn, Owens and Styles putting on good matches too with new talent like Enzo & Cass getting shine

some grouchy ass nikkas on here I swear, unless it's Daniel Bryan vs Nakamura in a 2 hour Ultimate Submission Iron Man match yall ain't never happy

no one ever complained about not having any good matches. the writing/booking has been shyt for god knows how long but we all know the guys work hard and deliver great matches here and there. that's never been the problem. some of the worst raws ever have had decent matches.

it's a bunch of new faces now, but history has shown us eventually they will get stale due to improper booking and you will start to get tired of them too.

The first 2 Raw's were good but this one in London was just :russell:

I mean the amount of times and me and my friend went :russell::russell::russell: during the last 90 minutes must have been a record. Even crowd was dead during last half. First hour or so was good, then it turned to :russell:

Hopefully just a blip though, previous 2 Raw's were fire :ohlawd:

That's every RAW since they went to three hours. The last hour is usually a snoozefest besides the main event.

What was good about Raw yesterday? Name one good match. Jeristooge match was typical formulaic shyt with a basic finish. Two 8 man tags. Two mediocre tag matches. Mediocre main event. And a Corbin squash.

If you are trying to see good wrestling, you did not see any in that 3 hours. And in terms of storyline, who gives a shyt? Theres a reason why everyone reads smackdown spoilers, its cause none of us actually give any fukks about the stories they present us. I dont give a fukk whats gonna happen next week.

The only good thing about Raw last night was the ability to flip to the OKC Mavs and Raptors Indy games.
