Ladiesman345 Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 (edited) I'm not sure I can put aside the time to watch RAW (or Smackdown!) anymore — they're so moribund. It's not like there's much that's offensively terrible, it's just all such a big unseasoned porridge of predictability and general inertia, and I don't want to give up five hours a week of my free time for it. I've been following through Observer Radio, but haven't watched in months. It just seems so bloody homogenised and paint by numbers. I have noticed that since it went 3 hour, Raw has really allowed more midcard storylines to be developed.

Paid Members Callum1993 Posted September 30, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted September 30, 2014 The only noteworthy thing from Raw seems to be Luke Harper's impending singles push. Dunno where this leaves Rowan and Wyatt though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted September 30, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted September 30, 2014 I haven't watched a full episode of Raw since the night after WrestleMania. I've even jacked in watching the highlights. Looking at WWE.com's pictures just puts me off ever wanting to watch it. It looks so shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members ColinBollocks Posted September 30, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted September 30, 2014 WWE's dip in quality are as predictable as an Arsenal season. Great TV between Rumble to 'Mania (usually crammed with star power), followed by the inevitable post-'Mania lull (all the part timers piss off). Things pick up again around Money In The Bank to Summer Slam, when some part timers turn up. September arrives and we all question why we watch this shite. Rumble.... Â It's a shame things get so tedious in the Winter, these days. Remember that one year where they did a John Cena/Rock tag match, where the big hook was seeing The Rock in his pants.

Paid Members Scott Malbranque Posted September 30, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted September 30, 2014 What the fuck was the story with Ambrose and Rollins descending into comedy? I like Ambrose's character and the "Cruiserweight" jape was well played last night, but to have him slime Rollins was a poxy, deflating end to the segment.

DJM Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 The slime was kids TV silly, but I would be more worried about the vibrating item in the briefcase! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members DCW Posted September 30, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted September 30, 2014 Best part of Raw was hearing Jamie Noble's voice again. They should bring Nidia back too. Â Pretty shite show otherwise, apart from Steph looking very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fanny Pack Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 (edited) Caught Raw... Â - The Ambrose/Rollins comedy was well played throughout the show. -Big Show was on form. Really enjoyed his seg, which may be testament to the writers because we have been waiting a long time for Rusev to be shown his arse. -AJs face is punchable -Miz and Sandow were quality again! Enjoyed Miz gettin a shot back in on HHH after "the straight to dvd" line. Go Miz. -Henry gave Bo a hell beatdown with those boxes backstage. Â Not a brilliant Raw, but I think these days aslong as you dont watch it live then you can fast forward most the tripe and condense it into a good hours veiwing. Â Also, last week I read online that apparently Hell in a Cell will feature a Ambrose/Cena match at the ppv with the winner getting Rollins in the Cell later on that night. With no Lesnar (it seems) for the ppv I think that scenario looks a winner. Edited September 30, 2014 by Fanny Pack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Boycie Posted September 30, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted September 30, 2014 Surely 3 diva's matches on one show is two too many? Thought it was ok actually, Ambrose seems to be taking off as a face, certainly good more personality than Reigns. Good to see Bo Dallas get a big win but they'll probably ruin it by jobbing him out again next week. This is a character with potential in my opinion. Interested to see where they're going with the Wyatt's as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a unique look though, standing ringside on his phone, headphones on, not giving a shite about the match taking place right next to him.

Paid Members Arch Stanton Posted September 30, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted September 30, 2014 The only thing I took away from Raw this week is that Hulk Hogan looks great in pink and black. It's pretty cool that they push the breast cancer stuff so hard and all the pink merch usually looks better than the standard designs. Freshest thing on the show. Â Other than that my favourite bit was Triple H telling Kane and Orton that they would be fighting Cena and Ambrose later on, only for Randy to come back with '...but we did that last week?!'Â Made me chuckle as that pretty much sums up the whole fucking promotion at the moment.

Ars Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 For the last few weeks I've tried to stay up for Raw, and I always get to the half way point and think 'theres another 1 hour and 30 mins left of this, what on earth can they possibly fill it with', then I resign myself to sleep. There's nothing at the moment with the product that will keep me tuned in for the full advert ridden duration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe would have come across better if he was wearing jeans,not cutting about with the full kit wanker look to not watch a match Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
