Where my f***ing "10s" at? lol. Cute, ya'll realize I don't count troll votes right? Kind of a shame the polls devolve into this nonsense sometimes and peeps can't he honest about it. Also sometimes I do include all the 10s and like... it barely changes anything, so I don't know what the mission even is, like just be honest about the RAW, lol.

I'll give an honest answer and not a bullshit one like most people do when they do this. Given most of the first hour was good, some of the Zayn stuff was interesting, the Ricochet/Cesaro match was good and the Wyatt stuff was good I'd say overall that's like maybe 1hr and 15mins of good material out of the 3 hours so... 4/10 Raw. Most people I feel do give honest answers when they do this... the 10's have trolled the poll since its inception though. If they openly admit to trolling it though, I don't count them, so there's that. It sounds KN meant he actually put thought into his score. He enjoyed a little less than 50 percent of the show. I would guess almost no one who responds to your poll breaks down the show like that before rating it. In addition to what he said, I liked the Rollins-Zayn match and pretty much always enjoy Becky Lynch, so there's that. I went with a 7. Most of the 1's are probably just as trollish as the 10s, but you just seem to get off on shitting on WWE, so you don't see it as trolling. As we have discussed before, the idea that people sit through week after week of a show they rate 1/10 is insane to me. Those scores are no more of an accurate representation of the show than the people who "troll" your poll each week.

I gave it a 10 based on Brock alone. I haven't laughed or been entertained by WWE like that in years. I need the Brock on my TV every week.
One thing I thought was odd, For all the tough talk "The Man" Becky does, She didn't seem too keen about going after Lacey. Just didn't seem right, Lacey was right there, then turned her back to her going up the ramp, and Nothing ?

I gave it a 3. Cesaro and Ricochet brought it up two full points.

I don't do that and I and others who may watch every week have rated higher than a one. Hell, a lot of people don't watch every week. It being a holiday brought more people to the thread, especially post DoN. We really don't need to devolve this into a "You just love getting off on WWE Hate" argument. That's just going off the point entirely. A lot of people do explain their 1's, I rarely ever see a 10 explained, it's just my observations.

If you thoroughly enjoy the RAW then that's awesome, but I really hate the people who troll the polls, it's just lame.

An astonishingly poorly paced Raw. Probably the worst episode they've had this calendar year, and the few parts that worked almost piss me off due to it making the sheer dreck portions unable to full numb me to the crud.

Gave it a 10 just for the all-time great moment with Brock dancing.
I liked the first hour and how it was paced differently, with each segment bleeding into the next.
Cesaro-Ricochet was awesome. Zayn-Rollins was very good.
Wish they would do more with the tag division.

So they advertised Brock making his decision and he proceeded to...not make his decision? What up with that?

Should have given it a 3.
1 for Brock being a goof, 1 for a good Firefly Funhouse, and 1 for Baron winning.

I thought the show had several good things about it, but with the pacing you'd think it was the worst Raw ever and not just another meh show. I should note I watched entirely on DVR and FF'd through some stuff and all of USA's redneck reality tv show commercials.
Cesaro/Ricochet was awesome yet again. They just need to give Cesaro entrance gear, new attire, and a real purpose. Both he and Ricochet need to be in the mid-card competing for the US title, and Joe needs to move up to the main event so we don't have to suffer with our options being Baron Corbin, The Miz, Lashley, and as much as I hate to say it, Braun Strowman.
Shane McMahon needs to get the f*** off my tv. I hate everything he's involved in. Drew does not look good here, either.
Seth/Sami was a very good match. I liked Seth's gusto quite a bit tonight. Sami is so comfortable and realistic on the mic, and it goes a long way when 80% of the roster always sounds like they're reading cue cards. I feel like he's a good heel in that he's annoying as piss, but not in an IIconics/Nia/Corbin way of making me want to slam my fist down on the FF-button.
Brock being shocked that he could cash-in MitB was a funny touch that made sense with him being so out of the loop. If we gotta deal with Brock, at least they're adding some flavor to his usual shtick.
I feel like they didn't do anything to really capitalize on R-Truth making the 24/7 title fun. It was alright, Carmella riding him like Yoshi is funny, but it feels very same-y.
What are they doing with the women? Both tag divisions are dire on this show, and I continuously feel Lacey was designed specifically to please Vince with the kind of woman he grew up admiring as a boy. The Cross character change was a much needed improvement, so at least there's that.
Dolph taking an acting class and being thrust into a WWE title match on PPV is pretty absurd. I know Owens not going to SA has to do with it, but still.
I liked the Bray Wyatt segment this week. Good reintroduction of his creepy spider-walk.
Those awkward fan questions with Sami...sheesh. That little girl's sass was funny, at least.
WWE is an absolute mess right now, but I like these weird Raws better than some of the dregs we've been dragged through over the past year. I feel less angry and more confused as of late with what WWE is doing. I guess that's something?

That's just going off the point entirely. A lot of people do explain their 1's, I rarely ever see a 10 explained, it's just my observations. Most people's explanation of a 1 seem to consist of a meme, one or two words or a "f**k this company." You mention tonight's poll getting a lot of traffic due to the holiday. OK. I thought holidays are ratings killers, yet somehow the activity of people watching Raw increases here. Fair enough. Of the five highest-scoring Raw episodes of 2019 (1/14, 1/21, 2/25, 4/1 and 4/22), two got 45 votes each and the other three got between 35 and 38 votes each time. Last night's show is at 76, so far. In addition, the four lowest-scored Raws over the past 12 months (11/26, 12/4, 2/18 and 5/6) had vote totals of 92, 76, 59 and 42. If you're curious, the highest-scored out of those shows was the one who had 42 votes. Just looking at those 10 shows from the past year, all of which actually have occurred since Noveber, are you seriously going to tell me the 1s are any less trollish? Is it just coincidence that so many more people watch the shows that get completely shit on during the weekly thread just happen to be the ones that get the most activity?

I actually really enjoyed it and don’t really see how it was offensively bad in anyway. I gave it a 7. Sure the first hour had a weird structure, but goofy Brock, Ziggler/Kofi actually looking decent, limbo Bray, Zayn in the chair, and stellar Ricochet/Cesaro, Seth/Sami, and the 24/7 bits kept me entertained. This wasn’t by any means, but not even close to a 1 either, at least imo.

4. I'm already bored of the MITB/Brock thing. Making the case into a Boombox was like "okay it was funny when he did it last week let's take it SUPER LITERALLY because Vince doesn't understand nuance, and even make a shirt that says Brock Party!". Meh. The show wasn't the worst Raw ever, but overall...it's just so poorly written. Zayn feels like the closest we have to someone just talking, but even then you can hear Vince in his words. WWE is being suffocated by a man who thinks he's rocking it to sleep. Some more thoughts on the show that gave me an actual headache by the end: youtu.be/ly8TAuNZdNgAs I said there, October can't come soon enough.

I don't rate things the same way he does. I loved the first 20 minutes or so, and then 2 hrs 40 of That happened. Life is too short and I've too many better options, especially since it's a weekly thing anymore w the quality Although the past 2 before this were good. 1/10 because it's not simply just bad TV, I am telling people I know when asked "stay away" "I'm done. I watch maybe 1 show a month unless they do well".

Solid show, gave it a seven. Need to move on Bray though. And three hours is really too long.
