Still not sure why the f*** people are watching. I'm not. A lot of people are not. This whole bullshit about "If you don't like it, don't watch" well look at the RAW threads, cut in half since the early summer, look at the ratings down nearly 2 million on the year, look at the pics of attendance which is dwindling. Are some people watching out of hate, yeah, but most just gave up months ago. I think that's a good thing. Far be it from me to question how people spend their time, but I'm just having trouble understanding the mindset of "I'm going to waste three hours of my life I'm never going to get back because I can make fun of something I know I won't enjoy." Cue threads about how bad Raw is week in and week out because apparently there's nothing else to do. It's like clockwork. I'm not exactly a positive person in the first place but that doesn't seem like it's good for anyone.

I liked it. Very different for Raw. Yeah, instead of RAW we got Monday Night "What the F*** is happening + Six DQs", great show... I'll go with your topics to describe why I liked Raw. New Day opened the show and was pretty entertaining with Sheamus. I like the Sheamus 5:15 thing. I for one hated that Sheamus won the title, but with the pairing of guys he's with could keep him somewhat interesting. As for Breez elosing at least maybe this means the superkick could mean something again. Thought the Wyatts name on the tables was kinda cool and look forward to the feud. Ryback saying Zig went all the way was hilarious. You're right though, Del Rio vs Goldust just because. Del Rio being with Sheamus and friends at least means he's not solo and could put an end to the pointless Mex/America thing. Charlotte will work better as a heel and as for Paige maybe a tweener. Ambrose taking the pinned sucked but at least no Kane or Big Show. But hey, to each his own.

They're lucky they had a shit MNF game up against them. Then again the little I watched made Cleveland of all things look good. I don't think even TNA fails hard enough to make the Browns look good.

I haven't seen Raw on cable in some years. Take that as you will.

This whole bullshit about "If you don't like it, don't watch" well look at the RAW threads, cut in half since the early summer, look at the ratings down nearly 2 million on the year, look at the pics of attendance which is dwindling. Are some people watching out of hate, yeah, but most just gave up months ago. I'm just now fully giving up. I've been watching on and off for a couple of months now. Last week I only watched the New Day segment, and even that was only because I saw people posting on Twitter that it was up next, and New Day is really the only thing that consistently entertains me in WWE. This week I watched Piston/Rockets and Monday Night Football instead. That's right, the Cleveland Browns are a more entertaining watch than WWE. Let that sink in.

I'm not exactly a positive person in the first place but that doesn't seem like it's good for anyone. That is where I think you miss it, they hate RAW for sure but they love to make fun of it. Plus a lot of us love to dissect it both good and bad.

Quick John come back save this show Oh yeah, it's all fun and games with John Cena until someone "looks good in defeat", then it's right back to wanting him gone again. Honestly, the main thought I have on Cena right now is the dawning horror while watching things like that Adam Rose segment of, "Oh my God, without Cena, Kane, and Big Show around this is what they book."

Awesome, looking through my guide turns out I do have options besides Raw for next week - Ion's playing a bunch of Law & Order against it. Far from ideal, have a lot of issues with it too, but it's better than this crap.

In fairness they couldn't get Spike. From what I've read he seems content in his normal life away from crapshit like this. They shouldn't have gotten Spike or Dreamer. Just use one of their current guys. And this is coming from someone who generally thinks Dreamer's aight.

It's clear they are just guessing and trying whatever they can to quit the ratings bleeding. Just something to stick.

If it was, I could see watching it to rag on it. But it's not even that. It's just really boring and uneventful. It's like the Groundhog Day of boring, repetitive bullshit.

They've also been exposed now for not having a Bryan/Rollins/Cesaro type right now that they can throw out there and say "Here's 20 minutes, take it to Broadway and get those wolves on the internet of our back for another week".

I think this the biggest reason for the ratings decline. With Bryan sadly being reinjured (and still yet to get cleared, when is he supposed to see that other doctor anyway?) there's no workhorse for the IWC to enjoy matches from, and no ordinary everyman like face for casual fans to attach themselves to. Ambrose is close, but he doesn't get the mega reactions like Bryan did.

eh, I actually thought the effort was there, but it backfired. Reigns/Sheamus was fine but should have closed the show with the League of Nations forming. There were mid card feuds being established showing that most people DO have stuff to do, but IDK its just not clicking. I hate to say it, but I think Cena is more valuable than were willing to admit. We don't like the endings of his stories, sure. But at least they hold our attention.

But at least the hosts varied from terrible (Jeremy Piven) to amazing (Bob Barker). Now it's just the same beats week after week, and every time something new and interesting seems to start happening, they quickly shift it into their monotonous formula (see Revolution, Diva's).

Ambrose is close, but he doesn't get the mega reactions like Bryan did. Plus Ambrose isn't really useful in that Bryan / Cesaro way of being able to wake a dead crowd up with an awesome match because... Ambrose is spotty at best in the ring. When he's on point he can be pretty good, but even then not great, but half the time he's content for, "Bunch of punches and keep spamming that stupid clothesline." Honestly should rush up Zayn and Joe from NXT entirely because at least they'd be a couple of fresh faces who would be more able to help the general show's quality and energy level more than the two people rumored to be called up soon could.
