...it made me question why I even watch anymore. Horrible in every aspect from the crowd, to the writing, to the booking etc. It was just...ugh.

I am just at a loss for words that the US, IC, Diva's, and World champion all lost on the same episode of RAW

I felt pretty much the same.
It won't change. Nothing changes. There'll be moments of brilliance that make you think something brand new will suddenly happen and wrestling will be magic again, but then, it's back to the same mediocrity.
The titles are unimportant. 95% of the cast is unimportant. The commentary makes you believe that the matches aren't important. They don't want you thinking too hard about the storylines, so those are really unimportant too.
It's a sad state of affairs. Really, someone could've stopped watching in 2008 and started watching tonight and wouldn't have missed a thing, other than Lesnar coming back and CM Punk being champ for 434 days.

There was not one redeeming factor about that show. Terrible from start to finish.

I'm pissed that Kofi got another token midcard title reign. Cesaro held the belt for so long that losing it to Kofi of all people was just so anti-climactic. They should've pushed one of their other faces to take the belt off of Cesaro.
It's like no other midcarder except Kofi gets to shine.

And I thought the show started off really well, but after the US title match, it was all downhill.

I have a tendency shortly after a Wrestlemania to tune out for awhile almost every single year. I think this RAW may have done the trick for 2013.
But I still wanna do photoshops.

Without exaggeration, I don't believe a Raw has been deleted off of my DVR that quickly ever before.

This is why WWE fails...
They cannot get the crowd pumped for the show anymore, unless it's a special event.
So the combo of the crowd not caring and the booking being dreadful, I wonder too.
And 5 titles changes in 8 days is a bit excessive.

I've felt this way after every Raw for quite a while now.

This is why I really couldn't get into the Raw last week, cause I just knew this would be back to normal in a week anyway.
Honestly that crowd response is what the Raw deserved. Ziggler and Barrett lost after having big wins, Cesaro loses his belt in match with no build, and Punk, the guy always getting everyone's attention is gone. Ryback started his all to quick slide into generic heel and the Bellas are your old hat challengers to Kaitlyn. As I said in the Raw thread:
Welcome back to reality folks.

Last week was the first time I'd watch since Raw 1000 and it was a lot of fun. This week I only caught an hour of due to my cable company hiding USA on a channel that doesn't even show up on any of their listings and can't be accessed just through channel surfing, but damn was it a terrible hour.

Well, it's not like we are remembering last week's Raw because of its booking either. Hell, half the reason the audience was being talked about was because they revolted against an awful Sheamus vs. Randy Orton match by actually making it entertaining. If anything, WWE's take on the Harlem Shake was just a bonus. |

Honestly I really, REALLY hope that TNA get the stick out of there ass and goes after the hardcore wrestling fans. WWE doesn't want nor need the fans that got Fandango to 44 on the UK charts or the fans that chanted from opening to closing bell last week. |

After last week,I decided I needed to take a little break from WWE for a while. Glad to see I didn't miss much(other than Cesaro dropping the title to Kofi for some reason).

I really cannot put my thoughts into any words that can express my feeling for this product. That goes for the last 5 years or so. Wrestling has become so bland that even the thought of thinking about it enough to honestly analyze why I don't like it makes me feel apathetic.

Nothing really great, but not terrible either. |
