They're not even the slightest bit entertaining now, everything has been done to death and it's repeat mode with them every week 

Rusev to win the US title to give Cena a programme to come back to ? Ryback looks to have shot himself in his foot too

No droning 30 minute promos, no Big Show, Kane, Ziggler etc and what a difference, hardly any FFW this week and two proper top quality matches made it best RAW for quite a while

The main events seem to be well built with the Shane videos but just throwing the Undertaker stip into the mix doesn't make sense at the moment, Ambrose and Funk etc and HHH and Reigns in the garage but the rest of the build up leaves a lot to be desired, also no mention of where Rock, HBK etc are going to fit in.

Hopefully next weeks RAW will deliver. 

I just wish if they want Reigns as No.1 then make him wear proper gear and take the stab vest off 

Can't remember much of the show, lost it at the end, that was so emotional and the end of an era

Blackjack Mulligan is very ill explains the absence of Bray and Bo

Was Vince unable to open the balls intentional ? Looked like they were doing that on the fly. Nobody seemed to care anyway, the crowd had died and I was hoping the end would be the traditional pre Rumble RAW with everyone in the ring chucking each other over the top rope.

At least Becky v Charlotte has been built up into a decent looking match and hopefully Ambrose v Owens the same. 

Everyone sat through a 15 minute chin lock waiting for Brock to turn up, could have been so different. Brock comes in rescues Reigns from the beat down and then says I'm saving you to the main event of WM. 

The whole Vince authority stuff now is just FFWD now, it is just a rehash of everything done in the last few years, even New Day have been ruined and god knows what Jericho is meant to be. 

I can't honestly think how RAW will be this week, they've hot shotted Vince and that has not worked, it's all a reverse midas touch now. All it will take is Brock or Roman to get injured in the next few weeks and the panic will start

Is Jericho relevant now ? That segment ruined New Day as well, talk about over doing a bad thing 

It made difficult viewing, I wanted to like the opening segment but it was such a mess, the 'WE' title FFS. The Cena match was good till the predictable end and they should have given the title back to Cena. 

Orton has zero charisma. I couldn't care less if I never see him again in a WWE ring. 

He has everything, look, ability, the push but from day one I've never liked him or his work 

Just get rid of Steph as an on screen presence, she sucks the life out of everything now, have Roman spear her into oblivion. Will be good seeing her do the next Be a star anti bullying campaign with the video of her as boss beating on one of her employees showing 

No improvement in the numbers this week on RAW, I wonder if they are going to put the title back on Cena when he returns as that is probably the only thing they can think of

It is so easy to FFWD so much stuff on RAW, even at the end there was nothing new or interesting. I was hoping when the Wyatts came out to confront the LON that was the new direction and a change of things but not to be.

There is just not enough content to be able to put on 3 hours every week, even 2 hours is pushing it. I thought it was better to have people demanding more than to think thank f**k that is over as the 3rd hour drags on.

Every new decent star from Wade Barratt/Nexus through Ryback, Rusev and Kevin Owens has been ruined , all of them could have been main event status but had to give the loss back to Cena and now 50/50 booked all the time. Until they stop this the rot continues. 

It will be interesting to see the ratings numbers as they put the main event at the start of the 3rd hour to try and improve it. 

Orton has dislocated shoulder, will be out for a while if he needs an operation

To make Raw fresher they should have every single match feature an interference that turns it in to a tag match half way through.

Would they be so stupid to try that ? It would be as bad as having Kane as a world title contender 

Rediffusion cable was a secret treasure for wrestling fans in the 80's, the only place where you could see American and All-star promotions on TV and there was no advertising about it or anything. I got told about it by a mate and signed up in a Granada TV shop in 1985 and had the little box on the wall with the switch to change channels. It was great up till February 1989 when the SKY as we know today came into being and it died a death, All Star had already stopped as they were now showing on ITV and I switched to the dish to carry on watching WWF.

 

 

I think the people he's talking about were watching NWA stuff on Screensport on very earl cable TV.

Don't remember too much NWA stuff on cable tV in the 80's, Screensport showed AWA, WCCW and All Star UK shows regularly, SKY channel showed WWF 

 

 

Right back in the early days, like mid-80s, ScreenSport used to show NWA stuff as part of the "Satellite Wrestling" series, which was mainly matches with the All Star crew and ring. Not sure how much they showed, but one of the listings for tapes of the series includes a Magnum TA-Wahoo MacDaniel match. I've also seen one person who remembered it being NWA on Monday night and AWA on Wednesday. This is all in the pre-minidish days when you either had to have local cable or a dish too big for a wall.

 

The Screensport show had mainly All Star stuff from Hanley and the area, I remember them having a Sheepherders match on once from South West wrestling, I also remember Stampede being on too 

What was going on with the guy who jumped the rails as Rollins came to the ring for the last match ? Then the ref spotted him by ringside and it looked like security nabbed him there
