WHAT A RAW TO END THE YEAR!! (HAPPY NEW YEAR!!)

[The Unconquered Sun]

yeah, what about that Wiz Khalifa cluster shit storm back in March (9th i think)? that caused actual physical pain.

Honestly sounds like an average Raw on paper.

Which still means absolutely terrible, just saying doesn't seem to warrant this level of outrage.

[FAR5222]

Honestly if you have an impulse to always watch Raw every week just get a night job/shift for every Monday. I had that all summer through November. I did not care at all about what I missed I because I never really missed a thing.

I have now started watching again because of my shift change and good God almighty is the show boring. It doesn't suck so much it's just boring and the commentary makes me feel disinterested with their talking.

Just don't watch anymore and just read the forum and laugh or just watch the Youtube clips the next day. Seriously getting so disappointed at the WWE is just stupid. The product will not get better for a really long time. Just watch the PPV/NXT. WWE killed my passion for wrestling the last two years so I just poke fun and enjoy this board. No point in really caring.

[Andy Martin]

At least when he calls next week's Raw the worst of the year he'll be right for a least seven days.

I've watched the RAW for the first time since Bret Hart return/CM Punk/Daniel Bryan era and I have to say this was such a waste of time. I was embarrassed by the VKM/RR opening segment. It was horrible! And VKM owned Reigns on the mic.

No wonders no one watches wrestling. This is some stupid crap worse than TNA.

Just to list off people who wrestled at the house show and couldn't be on Raw:

Dolph Ziggler, Tyler Breeze, The Dudley Boyz, The Wyatt Family, Charlotte, Kane, Titus O'Neil, Bo Dallas, and Stardust

These are at least the people who have been on the show lately.

I entered a contest to win tickets to that show. Even more sorry I didn't win now. There's a lot of talent there. The last live show I attended was in the last century. The last show I attended may have even had Isaac Yankem vs Brett hart on the card. I've seen three of their Dads wrestle, one in polka dots. And by a quirk of timing at the end of a ski trip I was there when Money Inc. beat LoD in Denver. Did anybody from here go? I'd love to see a report.

Didn't post on the thread last night cos I was playing 2k16 with raw in the background and I think because of that it was the best raw in ages. That being said the opening segment was up there with the worst shit I have ever seen on tv.

[The Ichi]

I don't usually do this, but just stop watching* for a while. It sounds like you're in "hate-watching" status at this point.

* Raw, that is. Not altogether. It's actually highly recommended from someone taking the no-Raw diet at the moment.

What was the point of the whole Vince in jail thing anyway, except for the stupid mug shot?

Because it worked during the Attitude era. Difference is, that was part of logical storyline progression. I don't think they even understand why it worked the first time. Next week Roman will drive a zamboni to the ring for no reason.

[sonofblaine]

I didn't make it past the first hour, and truthfully, it's Roman Reigns. I missed the past couple of Raws, saw clips that just show Reigns being a 100% unstoppable winner (making everyone look like fools, no threat to him at all, worse jackass grinning than Cena). I've said it before, but why should I care about him or support him? He's got things under control. Isn't the babyface supposed to be in trouble to gain sympathy. HELL, as much as I HATE John Cena, at least he shows some weakness building up to his innevitable win. I just got so bored I shut it off (and missed Cena's return, so that's good at least).

I've always been a wrestling apologist, enjoying it, even when bad, but... this feels like the last time I went on hiatus, missing Raws, not bothering to catch up. At least I still have NXT.

Pop a rating this week with his advertising, jail to write him off the show until he is needed to set up the main event first of the year blockbuster RAW.

Every RAW is the worst in your eyes.

That's cause it is.

I think you're overreacting more than a tad. Show wasn't anything to write home about, but it was far from 'worst show ever' status.

It was a pile of shit by the side of the road that has been festering in the heat for weeks under a stop sign in the desert in july. But it didn't have any roadkill next to it.

Sad thing is that promo was more entertaining than 98% of the promos I've seen from WWE all year!

Vince always wanted a mug shot. He just doesn't want to get it by facing real jail time for assaulting a creative member
