🔴🔁🔵 RAW 10/4 Thread: Again With The Deckchairs

[EoE: Well There's Your Problem]

Scheduled for tonight:

*The other half of the 2021 WWE Draft, with big names like Becky Lynch, Seth Rollins, Bobby Lashley, Sasha Banks, Damian Priest, Finn Balor, The Street Profits and The Usos still up for grabs in the second draft pool!
*Goldberg is set to appear, conveniently just as WWE are about to make a trip to Saudi Arabia!
*Other stuff!

All that, and the standard reminder that they won't be locking in the rosters until after Crown Jewel, so if you can just wait until the Survivor Series build starts and they're all still appearing on the other show to get mad about them not enforcing the brand split, that would be great... TONIGHT on RAW!

This would be I believe 5th draft for Liv. I'm hoping to see something happen this time, instead of screwing her up. She would be so fine in the opening intro! ♥️

Ticket sales look to be around 4600 right now so one of the smaller RAW crowds for tonight.

I know the pandemic hasn't helped much, but boy, when you put on years of bad programming and constantly telling the audience that you know what they want, it's no surprise RAW and SmackDown are starting to look like late 2000 WCW TV tapings.

[EoE: Well There's Your Problem]

For context, they are only selling 5,400 tickets to the show, but I don’t know if that’s a COVID thing or not.

Bridgestone Arena has a Negative Test or Vaccination Card requirement. So that might be part of it. They seriously arent even selling tickets in the upperbowl which is really crazy for nashville.

Ive been thinking of going but I have a community engagement tonight, and this draft has been underwelming as nothing really changes until after crown jewel.

Also f*** Goldberg

Bridgestone has run full sized events recently so it's more of a demand issue I believe. Of course the negative test/vaccine requirement probably lowers demand a bit but vaccination rates are still pretty good across most metro areas. It might just not be a good market right now.

Screw the deckchairs...I'll be huddling in one of these here little boats they've got along the side, the one labeled #14.

Cant believe I'm still on the fence about this. If my son was in town it would be a no brainer, but he's on vacation with his mom. So it would be just me, which is fine. Though I just worked 3 night in a row having to drive to Nashville which is like an hour each way. But I can get a decent ticket for around $30 including fees. I mean its the draft so Becky, Finn, some of the nxt favorites might get drafted to Raw, but if its anything like smackdown they will just appear in a backstage segment or a throw away match. I'm excited Big E champ but theres nothing really must see thats going on in RAW/WWE at the moment. I'm planning on going to the new year day ppv in atlanta since the ppvs have been decent for a while now. Raws have been mostly misses for the past year and half, but I feel the last three weeks they have actually been trying.

Will Celexa Bliss 54 get drafted the the women's bathroom?
Are ring posts going to start attacking announcers?
Will Lily eat Charlotte?
Will Charlotte turn into a turnip?
Is Elias ever going to turn up?
Will Omos fight the Stay Puffed Marshmallow Man?

Nothing seems to change at all. They have the same people switch shows, sometimes, and continue their endless feuds from the other show.

If the fiend comes back with a jetpack im going to be very upset.

Also just shows Goldberg and The Draft aren't the draws WWE might think they are anymore...
