Man Hyperbole is like your favorite word isn't it?

Can't help it when it constantly presents itself

But if you get Hyperbole do you STAY Hyperbole?

In theory, one could become hyperbolic and stay hyperbolic.

[Final Countdown Jones]

I weaved in and out at various times, and maybe it was bad luck that I tuned in to the dire Shawn/Rusev/Enzo promo, Steph running down Bayley and Sasha, and the Taker segment, but at least I got to see some Gallagher in the midst of it all. But I just don't have the patience to sit through Raw. Every few weeks I'll try to come in a few times throughout and just not give enough of a shit to. My tolerance for bad segments is just so low right now with all the other things I'm able to do and Raw has slid over time from always-on programming every week to "not even worth it when I'm bored".

I get the reasoning for having it as 0, but even when I don't watch the whole show, I can't in good conscience give any Raw a 0 in a world where AWA put out the boring-as-f*** television that it did. I feel like that must have shaped my perspective on wrestling programs, catching old AWA on ESPN, or Herb Abrams' UWF, which wasn't great by any stretch, but it had a pulse.

It isn't even an old school vs new school thing, since even Jim Cornette freely says AWA's television was shit in terms of matches, because they didn't really care about it, focusing entirely on their arena stuff. I guess Verne did not see the wisdom in giving anything away on TV, but I feel like even back then, you had to give them something to have any faith your company was any good. This has had the unfortunate side effect in that the AWA's recorded legacy is largely the weakest of its output, with its focus lost to time because it was the live shows.

Sorry to digress, but yeah, not even the worst of WWE's current product bores me to that level, so I can't say any of it has been a 0 to me, even the bad stuff. Besides, I've seen people call a Raw "mediocre" then give it a 2. Like, when you dip that low, your 1s really start to lose meaning.

Multiple People requested a 0 Rating. I can't please everyone.

Nah, it's your poll dude, I just am giving my take on it and why I don't tend to vote low.

[chronocross]

Didn't watch, it's easier to read the thread and see the highlights on WWE's Facebook page.

I gave it 6. It's the usual competent ring work that does get dragged down by the storylines being a bit cold across the board. I'd say the best stuff actually came from the much-maligned Cruiserweights tonight, with Gallagher looking good, Neville being a beast again in his new heel role, Swann actually showing some good babyface fire and Dar just absolutely nailing his character right now.

Other than that, I enjoyed Sheamus v Gallows, the women's tag and Jericho winning the US belt. Everything else... meh.

Can you give me the average rating for last week if you have a spare moment bud?

[EoE: Well There's Your Problem]

4.44, counting the 0 votes.

[Deleted]

I slept through two and a half hours of Raw then when I did get up watched stuff on Youtube instead of it. Sounds like I made a good choice.

[Ecks Ecks Ringout Ecks Ecks]

Continued my trend of not watching. Opened the thread a couple of times and read the full results after the fact.

Still not seeing anything to tempt me back. Still baffled at the bizarro world face/heel behavior and lack of basic consistency.

Even on days when I'm feeling at my most hipster and contrarian, I can't defend this shit.

[Lancers]

Deshaun Watson > Steph ewomansculating Bayley and Sasha

[Ryback on a Pole!]

2/10

It was bad. I'd have given it a 10 if Braun destroyed Seth in under 3 minutes though. Seth is pressuring Reigns as my least favourite wrestler.

I enjoyed Neville, Gallagher and Dar though.

[Push R Truth]

Football was awesome. I flipped to RAW twice, looked like shit. Never checked back.

[Alice Syndrome]

Last week was a 1, so this had to be a 3.

Not something I'd rewatch though

[Deleted]

0 out of 10.

Any time Enzo Amore & the New Day are dickheads, I want a negative rating. Yeah, Rusev should have retaliation, but not the same old "You ugly/homo, your wife is a slut, & you have tiny penis" crap.

The Titus stuff would work if Titus was presenting cheap knockoff merchandise, which was where they were originally going with when they started the Titus Brand, which infringed on New Day stuff & claiming it as his own. Instead, the guy is presented as delusional, but earnest, in his desire to join New Day.

We shouldn't be siding with the heels, even with the Worst Wrestler of 2016, & that's my maim beef.

[The Unconquered Sun]

2 for me. I held on till the Undertaker segment but that's as far as I went.
Too much Stephanie, too much HBK, Cass & Enzo, Rusev nonsense.

[kingbookermark]

I liked Raw, Except for the cringeworthy HBK segment. I actually enjoy Steph's character.

[Deleted]

2.Just dull.
I can't get excited about Undertaker in the rumble or him wrestling in general.I love Rusev he fights for the honor of his wife and speaks the truth Lana is way hotter than Emma Stone.At this point I hope they hold off the Emmalina debut till Wrestlemania because right now is a terrible time to debut somebody unless their a main event gamechanger and she's more likely to get lost in the shuffle in the build for rumble and mania.
