The Official UKFF RAW thread (part 2)...

The other thing with it is are they good guys or bad guys? 

They look stupid creepy and have just smashed up gorilla position leaving bodies in their wake. But the one person they take out is..... heel Chad Gable?

I don't know how you get a group like this over as good guys. People will cheer for them due to the Bray connection initially but that will fade over time. 

Presumably they want to get the group over as a monster heel faction, but they need to do much better than little Chad. They should be out there destroying Cody / Orton / KO / Sami / all of the above for a few weeks.

Even though almost every second of past experience tells me this will be a turkey, I'm willing to at least give it a shot. I don't think the segment was that bad, and the fact that my expectations are that it'll turn out to be shit isn't enough to completely write it off yet. I'm not as worried about the in-ring stuff, I think that'll take care of itself as long as there's compelling television to accompany the gimmick. The fact that it's spooky bollocks isn't enough, there needs to be an angle that's grounded in the real world running alongside it to give it that sense of purpose. Some people enjoyed Bray Wyatt's stuff on the mic but for me it rarely ever went anywhere, and was too often tied up in meaningless, empty lore. Its telling that the best version of Bray was the Louisiana Shack Man. Its was realistic, and if you'd have put that character in a serious film it wouldn't have looked out of place. Eventually it descended into "I found the black rabbit" nonsense, and that's where I tuned out. This lot seem to have went right in at that point, which is a worry, but there's no harm in giving it a few episodes before calling it a day.

The most alarming thing about RAW was just how bad Damian Priest is at promos. Even his backstage one the likes of Balor did a great job and he came off as a bad actor mumbling his lines awkwardly. 
 

Has he always been this bad?

They’ve peaked already.

I am probably given it way too much credit but whilst they were bloody, I thought they may have been gassed unconscious.

I'm not so sure, that one dude looked like he'd been shot in the head.

It's become a punchline, even amongst the roster. Even DIJAK was tweeting taking the piss.

It's dead (funny) on arrival. They never did this to Bray, if anything it was frustrating how serious everyone had to take his silly bollocks. But this is being openly mocked as stupid. I reckon next week ends with Jey Uso pissing himself laughing, yelling 'Ucey' whilst he gets beat up with a comedy hammer as a cartoon 'THWACK' soundtracks the whole scene.

I saw someone on Twitter say they were not an evil group. I asked what they were, because they didn't just attack people backstage they left them a bloody mess. That is not the action of good guys.

Asking wrestling fans questions on twitter is also not the actions of a good guy. You don't want answers from them lot, you want a restraining order.

Wasn't really sure where to post this, but would guess MVP has left WWE.

If you go into the comments on the post below, he's replying to people saying Triple H was the reason The Hurt Business disbanded; gave a very salty response to Batista and when someone says Triple H's era is 'emasculating black men' he replies 'you see it!'

Goodness me.

It's a lot of questions about something that is supposedly being boycotted as well.

That reminds me, I've had enough of Spurs again and won't be watching this season.

So see you all in the football thread August!

As if you won’t be telling us all in there that you’ll win the league after Darren Bent scores you 25 goals in pre season games in July.

Society shuns wrestling fans because they're into watching grown-ups play fighting. It's viewed as something either for kids or at best low class entertainment. Society as a whole wouldn't get anywhere near close enough to comments by wrestling fans on social media to shun them, it's happened long before reaching that nadir.
