UK Kat Von D Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 They’ve included CM Punk in the intro. Already the best episode of Raw in years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Jazzy G Posted January 22, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted January 22, 2018 I wonder whether they'll trot out all the old themes. Across The Nation by Union Underground is a great tune.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awards Moderator Frankie Crisp Posted January 22, 2018 Awards Moderator Share Posted January 22, 2018 That's ace. Looking forward to this, even if 60% of it will be stuff we've had rammed down our throats in every Best Of compilation. My hope is that they'll have the massive freestanding RAW letters at the Manhattan Centre only for Strowman to batter someone with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIDDUM_N_STYLE Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 So with the fun and games beginning in little over an hour starting with the pre show, what does everyone want to see from the show? Me personally, I'm hoping for a legend's battle royal or some sort of match involving the legends at the Manhattan with Fink doing all the ring announcing from there and have Lillian Garcia do the announcing at the Barclay's, giving Jojo the night off. Also expecting Miz to win the IC title via accidental interference from Jordan (then have Roman beat the crap out of JJ with Seth not bothering to stop it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UK Kat Von D Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 How did they rush everything despite nothing of note actually happening? Dunno why I stayed up for that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buba3d Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 the only decent thing on tonight's show was the bullshit chants from the manhattan center crowd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Supremo Posted January 23, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted January 23, 2018 Considering the build up and hype surrounding this show, it's got to be considered a huge disappointment. Fuck all happened. No storylines. No surprises. No fun interactions. It was just one guy after another showing their face and doing nothing of note. Seriously, imagine if someone said to you ahead of time that the best thing on the show was going to be Elias. You'd never have believed them, but that's exactly what happened. Fair play to Elias. Even though it's obvious he's only been put into this spot as a substitute for Samoa Joe, he still came across great telling Cena to shut the fuck up. For the first in forever he looked to show some genuine potential. Imagine paying over 800 dollars to be in the Manhattan Centre. LOL. Torrie Wilson looked better than anyone they have on their current roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members I Bent My Wookie Posted January 23, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted January 23, 2018 I'm starting to wonder on the outside chance of Balor winning the Rumble? Does he specifically have to challenge for the RAW belt if he wins, or can he head over to SmackDown? They could have easily done the whole DX and The Revival thing without giving him the last word so to speak, they seem to be investing in him again for sure. EDIT: That being said, Dolph Ziggler is down as one of the favourites to win the rumble with cracking odds at present, so really anything could happen.

Paid Members Supremo Posted January 23, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted January 23, 2018 If they really wanted to make something of  Balor then him and his mates would’ve attacked DX tonight and turned heel. That would’ve been awesome. Instead we got smiley Finn marking out with the old guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.Showtime Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 It was soooo lazy. Sure they didn't have to prepare detailed segs for everyone, but as said above it was just a bunch of entrances we've seen before along with promos of nothingness. When they started introducing DX almost one by one, fucking hell, no need. Undertaker - what was the point? My favourite bit was Torrie Wilson.

Paid Members Supremo Posted January 23, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted January 23, 2018 I more I think about it, the worse this show seems. I could have stomached them wasting all the returning stars if it meant they used the time to better promote Sunday’s pay per view, but they didn’t do that at all. It was three hours of shit, lazy cameos, then a final segment where they literally had to sprint through it in order to get everything in before the show went off the air. D-Von Dudley with tits. Chris Jericho coming off the best run of his career for a 15 second backstage skit. The Undertaker saying nothing whatsoever. The Revival losing in about two minutes. This show was garbage. Maybe the worst go-home show for any Royal Rumble of the last decade, if not more. No wonder Lawler and Ross fell asleep.
