Paid Members WeeAl Posted December 24, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted December 24, 2019 I didn't bother to avoid the spoilers last week, thinking there wouldn't be a chance in hell of anything happening worth watching, on a taped Raw, airing the day before Christmas Eve. Kind of disappointed I didn't see the Joe turn unspoilt now. I went on to see the YouTube clips this morning before work but they weren't up on The Observer site at that point. I'm sure I'll catch up with it at some point during the week, but I think there are more pressing concerns going on tomorrow, than watching Raw. One of which is trying to calculate if I can get drunk between the gap from getting home from work at 1.50 and the dinner hitting the table before the queen's speech, yet still being sober enough to not need someone else to cut my food up for me. đ¤ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members I Bent My Wookie Posted December 30, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted December 30, 2019 By the sounds of it Randy Orton has done some serious damage to his knee last night at a house show against Styles. Had to be helped to the back after landing awkwardly, WWE has acknowledged the injury and he's now appearing tonight with an update on the condition, which doesn't sound fantastic.

Paid Members I Bent My Wookie Posted December 30, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted December 30, 2019 Really? Credit to them on their part then as I was sure it was real. For all the gripes I have about the product, there are still moments I just think yeah they've still got me invested and this is definitely one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCW Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 (edited) Last Raw to air on Sky Sports tonight. Remember when we couldn't afford to pay the ntl bill listening in to attitude era Raw and the picture would be scrambled, also remember getting Sky Digital in 2001 and being elated at no more scrambled Raws. Now you couldn't pay me to watch it live.Still though, end of an era. Edited December 31, 2019 by DCW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It many ways it does feel that Sky have probably milked the best years out of the WWE and that BT have bought a brand that's on the decline. I could be wrong but I'm incredibly pessimistic about the rabbit hole the industry is disappearing down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members I Bent My Wookie Posted December 31, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted December 31, 2019 What a way to end WWE on Sky Sports. I mean they've put some absolute shit out on TV in years but that wedding was one of the worst produced pieces of crap considering of all of them Lana is the one that used to work as an actress. It's actually baffling how bad that was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loki Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 I fucking loved the wedding, it was so ridiculously tongue in cheek. Â This was actually a really good Raw - you had two hours of good matches, the first half an hour was properly boss with Joe and all that, and then one of those big ridiculous set pieces of nonsense the WWE does occasionally to soak up the rest of the time. What with pyro, HLA, weddings and the like, it almost felt like a deliberate homage to the Attitude era. Being fair though, this is the first Raw I've watched all of in about a year.

Paid Members Supremo Posted December 31, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted December 31, 2019 (edited) Conclusive proof that thereâs no segment that Rusev canât improve significantly by showing up with that goofy grin. Youâre not going to get a segment worse than that and I still laughed and enjoyed it once he popped out of the cake in his shitty bow tie. Embarrassing main event angle aside, the rest of the show was actually quite good. Owens and Joe looked great as top babyfaces the crowd actually want to cheer, Aleister Black vs. Buddy Murphy was another fun match that felt like both guys were starting to get over, Montez Ford shaking the ropes like a maniac is fantastic and - ultimately - everything on Raw feels like it has a purpose and direction. You can see where theyâre going and who they want to make stars out of. Itâs the antithesis of Smackdown, which currently feels like it only exists for Vince McMahon to enjoy. Paul Heymanâs search history is just lesbians and cuckolds, isnât it? Edited December 31, 2019 by Supremo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidB6937 Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 It is strange to see the reaction to the wedding. I'm not quite sure what some people were expecting. It's literally exactly what a WWE wedding always is. Pure trash but in a strangely entertaining way. I guess most of the kicking off that I've seen was about Liv Morgan. Instead of being happy that she's come back and actually involved in something, there are complaints that Sonya didn't get a lesbian angle first or that Liv didn't come back as Sister Abigail. Sure, because people wouldn't shit all over that too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRooster Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 The wedding segment was impressively bad, containing pretty much all of the worst things that wrestling can be. Yet...I kind of enjoyed it. I think it turned the corner for me once Rusev jumped out of the cake in his bow tie yelling âHELLO, WIFE!â The main problem for me is that from a kayfabe point of view itâs utterly ludicrous. How are we supposed to believe that Lana would divorce this absolute god of a man? Madness! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
