You might want to either remove that GIF or try to find a censored version. Are you serious? Wow, PG runnin wild in here too? I didn't see what the gif was of, but yes. That's always been the case. No gif's that contain censored words uncensored. edit: Contain not continue... damned cold medicine making my brain go... place...

Sheamus/Orton/Show & Cesaro/Kofi were okay matches, besides that NOTHING was remotely good IMO

This was the worst show since that other worst show that was the worst show ever since the previous worst show.

Ziggler finally had credibility for cashing in and winning. They ruined that in a week. They need to stop hot-shotting people for titles and maybe build feuds around them instead.

I thought it was a pretty inoffensive Raw, not the worst nor the best.

I like Kofi, but what has he done to earn a title shot? He's been getting killed every week on the road to Wrestlemania, then all of the sudden, he gets a title shot?
Also, get rid of Vickie, Maddox and the gm spot. They feel so out of place on the show, since guys can pretty much make up their own match on the spot anyways.

Holy hyberbole, Batman!!
Of all the Raws that's been declared the worst Raw ever and been worthy of that, this is the one getting the label this week. Let's see what could had caused it. Crowd not going wild for Fandango which was going to happen since he got turned into a meme unfortunately. But the crowd was into Orton so that's a strike against them. Champions losing non-titles matches to set up rematches at Extreme Rules. Ryback not saving Cena from a Shield beatdown. And here I thought this forum justified evil and was anti-dick babyface. Brock didn't F5 Slater one more time like the fans wanted. Dolph loses clean against Swagger. Cesaro loses the US title to Kofi. Why? I don't know. Maybe to balance out the midcard title? Maybe to lose against the next call up? Either I'm disappointed that Cesaro lost but not enough to rage over it. IMO, I think people were expecting another highjacked Raw with their faves going over. Last night, you got one with a crowd reacting to things the way that WWE wanted and matches & angles setting up Extreme Rules. Not a sexy show but not the worst show ever either.

I swear to God if Hogan and Sting left TNA I would watch it in a heartbeat after last night's RAW train wreck.

I didn't mind the Orton/Sheamus vs. Show match. Thought it was pretty good.
Any time Brock is on my screen beating up someone is good.
Didn't like Kofi winning from Antonio, but boy, did I love that finish. Antonio was growing stale with the belt anyways with lack of TV time or PPV time. Maybe this will ignite him into something better. I hope.
Hell No winning a filler match was okay with me. Excited for next week's 6-man.
Loved the Ryback promo. Good story from the last 6 months of abrupt booking.
Thought it was absurd that Wade lost again. To Truth. I started giving up at this point.
Khali/Santino vs. Rhodes Scholars was okay for what it was. Nothing negative. Rhodes Scholars got the win and that's ok.
Fandango was a complete flop. WWE took something great and shoved it down our throats. No one likes being told to do something. We will not start #Fandangoing on command. Sorry. I feel bad though - I really was getting into the Fandango thing ...before last night.
I gave up on RAW after Ziggler lost. I understand why. Swagger needs to stay in the title picture. However, couldn't he have beaten someone else for the shot? I just feel they did a good job recapping the full cash-in, only to crap on Ziggler and make him lose one week after winning. Making him a credible champion from this point can only happen at a strong showing at Extreme Rules.
I had given up and wasn't listening to CM Punk. Saw him walk out. I imagine he lost his smile.
Kaitlyn vs. Nikki was actually alright, despite the 1000th Twin Magic ending.
...went to bed and skipped Cena's last segment. Didn't care to watch.

I didn't think Raw was particularly bad, a lot of it just didn't make any sense.
Why did the IC and World champs lose clean? Why did Mark Henry randomly attack Sheamus? Why has Ryback's character completely changed in one week? Why is Kofi Kingston a champion AGAIN?
It was just lazy booking.

That's just about right! All you're missing is one more "Boy, how stupid is the IWC" phrase and you'll have nailed Raw perfectly! No. It was a bafflingly written show to just deflate us and remind us of how the WWE is. 9 times out of 10, you'll get a night like this. I don't care about the crowd reactions and I don't give a damn who wins or loses, just as long as it makes some kind of sense. The only thing here that made sense was Ryback's explanation as to why he attacked Cena, and even then that was turned into "Well, you've got nothing between your legs for attacking me while my guard was down for no good reason." Which was the problem with the segment by the way, not Ryback not saving Cena.

Why must Jack Swagger drag everything down? I hated Del Rio for being so boring but was starting to win me over before Swagger came along and ruined it, now it looks like he's going to ruin Ziggler's title run too.
Why won't he just go away?

I think 'bad' is overshooting it. True 'bad' tends to be so irredeemable, it ends up funny and notable. The whole show just seemed to exist within a vacuum, with vague static for a soundtrack, as though it was a foreign nation to the lands of consequence.

Other than the aggravating changes on thjs board's way of doing things, Raw is in another funk. They have to push Cena because the main midget wrestler (Punk) is showing his age. TNA cannot ever catch up because they love to feature Fed castoffs which means they start with failures. (Mr. Kennedy anyone? Anyone?) They cannot come up with a new storyline so we have Super Cena vs. three "outsiders" (whops edressing rom do they use) again where there is little shame in losing and not much heat because he will destroy at least two of them at a time when needed. Brock didn't excite the crowd then because he is just a mindless pile of muscle and he does not excite the crowd now because he still cannot wrestle and failed at his second -- MMA -- job. Batista?

Just 'meh' for the most part. I enjoyed Show vs. Orton/Sheamus along with Cesaro vs. Kofi and Ryback's promo.

Uh... Henry tackling Sheamus through the wall was kind of funny. About it. Though it really made no sense. And I doubt we'll get any real explanation to it other than Henry going "That's what I do!". Why do we need any explanation? Hell, I'd say "random Henry violence" would be an easy remedy for any dull RAW or SmackDown. RAW was bad, but I'd far from call it the worst ever. Didn't like the shilling of "Fandangoing," the jobbing out of the champions or the continuation of Lesnar/Haitch. I did like the random Henry violence, the not as random Lesnar on 3MB violence and that at least it looks like they're trying to continue Del Rio/Swagger. All in all, as another poster mentioned, inoffensive would probably be the best way to describe it.

Considering that Cesaro, who was on a downward turn due to WrestleMania, LOST his belt to Kofi, a guy they don't ever bother following through on, and that the new WHC lost to Jack Swagger (who I still love, but come on, he's going to go back to where he was before he left in a few months).
And... I don't know what they're gonna do with Depressed CM Punk.

And after these years watching WWE, people still keep thinking they are going to change their philosophy? It's like expecting the Patriots to change the way they play football.
