I just thought that bared repeating once again. I mean, if WWE can repeat themselves every week, not sure why I can't.
Also yes, some people like it. Well some people like Coldplay and voted for the Nazis - you can't trust people.

There's lots of great stuff on RAW.
For example whatever was on RAW that I didn't see since I haven't watched the last 3 shows, some of that was maybe good.

If it wasn't for Cena/Owens and New Day it would be next to unwatchable
Cesaro vs Cena kept me awake... I cant believe John F***ing Cena is one of the factors in RAW being watchable right now...

When has it not been terrible?
They have some good periods... but they last like a month before it slides into mediocrity and shit again.

The Owens/Cena saga is engaging stuff, I've gotta say.

I literally prefer the drama that's going on behind the scenes at the sinking ship that is TNA over WWE right now. In truth I prefer New Japan, Lucha Underground and ROH over WWE any day. It just doesn't hold my interest. I really only watch to see Dolph, Seth, Dean and hot Nikki.

WWE isn't bad.
Its sterile. A safe, formulaic product with the same types of opening segments, in ring timing for commercial breaks, commentary cliches, and repeated finishes. Oh you'll get good matches and an admirable segment here and there (see stuff with Owens and Cena) in the same sense your school cafeteria will occasionally have a nice dessert snack amidst all the usual bland crap they serve. But they're exceptions, diamonds in the dull rough that are good enough to potentially bring you back next week, but not quite quality enough to the point of actually elevating the show.
The good news is WWE won't likely have godawful bad segments like one would see on certain Nitro's or Impacts. It just happen to come at the price of the show having a soul.

They need to do something major and fast because yeah, tonight's episode of Raw was terrible. I wouldn't be opposed to just having Sheamus cash-in on Seth to become champion, have him face Brock instead, and just turn Seth face because him standing on top to end Raw with J&J and Kane is so f***ing boring.

Remember that period in Summer/Fall 2013 that had shows basically end the same way: Bryan getting beat up by the Shield and HHH standing tall over him? The way Creative keeps going with this laughable experiment in convincing us that f***ing Kane and two scrawny cruiserweights are the greatest faction of badasses ever, they'll eclipse that in terms of being monotonous as hell.

Daniel Bryan gets injured and WWE gets terrible. Coincidence? Yeah, most likely, but I really miss Bryan

They're not terrible. Terrible was Raw in 2009 when even with good celebrity hosts it was a glorified variety show. The real problem is that they're in a slow period right now partly because of how Lesnar's schedule works. I'm not going to say it's been perfect, but I think things will turn around when Seth loses the WWE Title. Which is looking all the more likely with Lesnar and Sheamus looming over him.
Personally, I'm hoping somehow Sheamus will cash in on Seth. Then they can maybe do a trilple threat or just have Sheamus vs. Lesnar.

The worst part is that it's not "IWC" bad, where the live audience and casual fans are happy but the hardcore fans hate it. It's just BAD bad. The casual fan likely hated the ending of the past two RAWs just as much as we did. Who are they booking for when no one is happy?

Up side you don't have to watch... And for the most part, I don't anymore. I only really tune in to see Brock or the occasional match/segment which piques my interest. I slept through the first 2 hours tonight and tuned into the 3rd hour on the off chance they'd try and do something interesting to make up for the lack of Brock.

I never thought I'd be saying that I enjoy Impact more than RAW in 2015, but here we are.
While I'd still call it the worse of the two shows, Impact on its deathbed has been so insane that it can be a pretty fun watch, especially with the threads on here. RAW right now is so miserable and boring to watch that I nearly fell asleep twice tonight. Ol' Libby needs a break from this.

There's nothing wrong with having the bad guys win to end the show, but having it happen on consecutive shows will pretty much wear down any viewer, casual or hardcore.
