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

[DavidB6937]

Might actually watch this tonight. Do I want Sami to win? OR do I want some random Bloodline shenanigans costing him the title even though I'm not sure why they'd even do that? I DON'T KNOW!

[Supremo]

I know it’s not how TV works at all, but whatever. I hope the rating triples. I cannot explain what a huge draw it is going back to two hours. Do not go back to three hours. Ever.

Will Sami win? Will Rock show up? Are we declaring Bloodline Civil War?

Most importantly of all though, are we going to finally address what an absolute JUDAS this man has become? Completely kicked Bret to the curb. Got a new flavour of the month.

Based on the above evidence, with the Saudi show looming, my prediction is that CM Punk will open the show announcing he has lost his smile and needs to go home for exactly four weeks to find it.

Close enough!

The rest of the show was shit and I can't even be bothered to talk about it apart from too many adverts.

[Daaaaaad!]

I’ve only seen highlights of the show so can’t really comment on its actual quality, but somewhat ridiculously, I’ve seen several people already complaining that RAW was too short and that three hours gives you more time to do more storylines.

This made me properly realise that a three hour Raw had been the standard for twelve years now. Twelve! No wonder the young ‘uns are finding it difficult to accept.

They managed to fit that stupid Shayna faction on and Natalya. It was long enough.

So Punk very much isn’t a fucking dork who is going to suck a blood money covered dick. Not yet anyway.

[The King of Old School]

I thought it was great, shorter snappy show with very little filler.

I hope 2 hours are here to stay but I think it's definitely back to 3 in Jan

[Lion_of_the_Midlands]

Writing Punk out of Crown Jewel and setting up his next fued in one move at least saved some time to cram an extra couple of adverts in. Now it's just a matter if whether Punk and Seth cost each other at the Rumble or they are the last two in the Rumble. Probably the former as they don't actually need a belt for their feud. 

[AndyUK]

It absolutely flew by. The adverts felt a bit jarring though, apparently they did picture in picture in the US but watching on TNT, the ads made every match feel about 5 minutes long.

There’s definitely not time to put everyone on the show every week but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. We’ll see how it works over the next few weeks.

Yeah there was a lot of picture in picture on the download I watched. It was really fucking annoying.

Really enjoyed them first 20mins, where it felt really seamless, running from person to person, merging into one another’s promo time/segment. It just felt really natural, really smooth. The first hour seemed to fly by.

Then the 10 woman tag match started.
