Horrible editing of Orton's attack on Edge though. Yeah it just made no sense. Other than that though I really enjoyed a short easy to digest version of Raw on free to air TV.

I can find Raw on there but no sign of SD. Smackdown isn't shown until Saturday, this was the first airing of WWE on CH5 so I assume Smackdown will be available once its aired Saturday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Worthits Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Great move for the 'E. Getting some new fans in will be quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members BigJag Posted February 6, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted February 6, 2020 Smackdown on Ch5 will be a week old by the time it is shown, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to give it to them. Can peddle out any old shit really but, looking at this and the megabucks Saudi and Fox deals, seemingly always land on their feet and come out smelling of roses.

Guest Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 The Saudi deal smells of something alright. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was expecting the outrage to be longer lasting than it did tbh. Seems to flare up for a week or two before every show then dies a death until the next one.

Syl Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 I just watched the Smackdown highlight show. Yikes.... I haven't watched a WWE show for years, only catching YouTube bits occasionally. What has happened to WWE? I know that this has been a trend across wrestling for a few years now, but the punch/kick fests are wank. The chilli con ca.. I mean, dog food stipulation was lame. The footage seemed to be sped up sometimes- I guess this is to keep to the hour time limit. I watched Impact last night, and actually think I preferred that (the echoey Mexican arena was rubbish, though). I'll try and catch the Raw show tomorrow, hoping it will be better!

Paid Members gmoney Posted February 8, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted February 8, 2020 I caught the last half. Everyone was either in black or street clothes. Loads of the roster I saw appeared to be miscast. Bayley is a heel? She's shit at it. Elias is a face? He's shit at it. That said, it's still exciting to see wrestling on terrestrial TV.

FUM Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 There are so many flaws with WWE to pick at but Bayley as a heel and Elias as a face are not them. Two of the more interesting characters at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gave it a go as there was nothing else on, making it the first WWE show I'd watched since Wrestlemania 2018. I'm finding it hard to articulate how it felt coming in fresh and not knowing many of the wrestlers, but the product just came across as incredibly 'fake' (as silly a term that may be to describe a wrestling show.) The promos seemed to involve a lot of standing around and some downright terrible acting (even for wrestling standards), with the opening segment taking an age for all the players to be given their own entrances and the angles were pretty childish too (yup the dog food). I know its a highlight show and its probably unfair to judge anything on an hour's highlight show (which is probably catered towards kids), but definately came out of it with a a feeling of "who the fuck watches this shit?" in all honesty.

AshC Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 The acid test is always watching with a non-fan in the room. Which I've not done with this yet, though, kind of on-topic, my old man was about for 15 minutes last night during AEW. He seemed to like 'One Eyed John'.
