Ya know what I was hoping that the lights would go off and come back and Alexa would be on fire but Orton would be gone basically to insinuate that The Fiend did it. And we would finally get Alexa in a fiend like get up. Or hell, just a glimpse of the Fiend standing behind Randy. Show cuts out on Randy realizing that.

WWE are that desperate for ratings anymore they're ending their THREE HOUR PROGRAM with soap opera cliffhangers. Quite frankly THAT is what they need to do because it was what they used to do. This is how you hook people on any other television show...but see the difference is people trust shows to follow through not so much in WWE's case so we will see.

I don’t care about the negativity. I’m here next week even harder than I am every other week because I NEED TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED!!! It’s almost like people have never seen a cliffhanger before.

What's the Over/Under on RAW opening up completely normal next week just to further kick people in the dick who care about the cliffhanger? Remember when Retribution destroyed Smackdown and 205 Live started up normal?

When these guys can't book longevity for shit, it absolutely is. I am absolutely expecting this cliffhanger to be a letdown

I expect the show to start with a Hogan promo or some shit. To everyone saying they can't wait to see the payoff next week, be prepared to have those expectations dashed.

A really good Raw to end 2020. I liked the In Memory Graphic at the start of the show for Brodie Lee, as well as both Tom Phillips & Drew McIntyre’s tributes. And for the record, it would be wrong to complain about WWE not doing a 10 Bell Salute for Lee. I understand why they didn’t do it. He didn’t work for the company & they only do the 10 Bell Salute for Legends, but we really shouldn’t be nitpicking or complaining about it. McIntyre’s promo was good, as was Sheamus & Keith Lee’s responses. And I like that instead of waiting for later, they did the match right away. Lee VS Sheamus was an awesome match to kick off Raw. McIntyre VS Lee earlier this year were too short & ended in Non-Finishes. Next week, they should have an amazing match. The Elias & Jaxson Ryker segment was nothing. Gran Metalik VS The Miz was OK & I like the road they are going down with the Miz. Elias & Ryker with AJ Styles & Omos was OK. Dana Brooke VS Shayna Baszler was pretty decent. Alexa Bliss’ Playground with Randy Orton in the Firefly Funhouse was cool. Alexa has been amazing with this character. Charlotte Flair’s promo was good. AJ Styles VS Elias was an excellent match & showed how good of a wrestler Elias really is. Ricochet VS Mustafa Ali was an amazing match. They have had excellent matches on Main Event earlier this year, but this match on Raw was the best of them all. OK Nia Jax promo, but I hate that people just say they are in the Royal Rumble. You should have to qualify & earn a spot in the Rumble. Make it special & a privilege to be in the match. Drew McIntyre’s promo was good. Charlotte Flair VS Nia Jax was an OK Match. The Hurt Business segment in the back was OK. Angel Garza’s promo was good & R-Truth & the 24/7 Parade was funny. The New Day, Riddle, & Jeff Hardy segment was funny & I loved Xavier Woods’ tribute to Brodie Lee with his armband. Another person announcing that he's in the Royal Rumble with Bobby Lashley. It would be funny if someone like R-Truth announces that he's entering the Rumble, but doesn't specify Men's, so he gets entered in the Women's since that's the only one that has open spots. Jeff Hardy, Riddle, & The New Day VS The Hurt Business was a fun 8-Man Tag. I loved Woods’ tribute to Brodie Lee with the Discus Clothesline. I didn’t like Miz getting back his MITB Briefcase because now I have to do my MITB Page all over again. What the hell did I watch with Randy Orton & Alexa Bliss. That is how Raw ends for 2020. Alexa should have been in a dumpster since that's what 2020 was.
Here are the Facts & Stats for RAW: - Keith Lee VS Sheamus was the 1st time since November 16, 23, & 30 that Lee wrestled 3 weeks in a row on Raw & his 1st opener since August 31 & was the 1st time since May 5, 12, 19, 26, June 2, 9, 16, 23, 30, July 7, & 14, 2014 that Sheamus wrestled 11 weeks in a row on Raw & his 1st opener since December 14, making his 11 weeks in a row the most consecutive matches in a row for any male wrestler on Raw in 2020, & they are the 1st wrestlers since Drew McIntyre on June 29 & July 6 to go from the Raw main event to the following week’s Raw opener, & was Raw’s 350th Match of 2020. - Gran Metalik VS The Miz was the 1st time since April 29 & May 6, 2019 that Gran Metalik wrestled 2 weeks in a row on Raw & was the 1st time since January 29, February 5, 12, 19, & 26, 2018 that The Miz wrestled 5 weeks in a row on Raw & his 1st Singles Match on Raw since he lost to Bray Wyatt on November 16, & was Metalik’s 1st win since he & Lince Dorado def Drew Gulak & Akira Tozawa on Raw on October 26 & his 1st Singles Win since he defeated Shinsuke Nakamura on Smackdown on August 4, & 1st ever Singles win on Raw in his career - Dana Brooke VS Shayna Baszler was the 1st time in her career that Brooke wrestled 5 weeks in a row on Raw, the 1st time in her career that Baszler wrestled 9 weeks in a row on Raw, & was a re-match of Raw on December 14, which was won by Brooke by Disqualification - AJ Styles VS Elias was the 1st time in his career that Styles wrestled 6 weeks in a row on Raw & was Elias’ 1st Raw since November 30 - Ricochet VS Mustafa Ali was the 1st time since June 29, July 6, 13, 20, & 27 that Ricochet wrestled 5 weeks in a row on Raw & was Ali’s 1st Raw & 1st match overall since RETRIBUTION defeated Team Raw on November 16, & was the 4th 1-on-1 Match between them after Main Event on September 3 & 24, which was won by Ricochet, & Raw on November 9, which was won by Ali - Charlotte Flair VS Nia Jax was the 1st time since June 1 & 8 that Flair wrestled 2 weeks in a row on Raw & her 1st Singles Match since she lost to Asuka on June 22 & was the 1st time since November 16, 23, & 30 that Jax wrestled 3 weeks in a row on Raw, was the 2nd 1-on-1 Match between them after Raw on April 10, 2017, which was won by Jax, so they each have won 1 match, was Flair’s 1st Singles Win since she defeated Asuka on Raw on June 8, was the 66th Disqualification of 2020, the 1st since NXT on December 17, & 1st on Raw since December 14, & was the 6th week in a row that Raw had 2 Women’s Matches - Jeff Hardy, The New Day, & Riddle VS The Hurt Business was the 18th 8-Person Tag Team Match of 2020, the 1st since TLC on December 20, & 1st on Raw since November 16, was Kofi Kingston & Xavier Woods’ 1st Raw since December 14, the 1st time since November 16, 23, & 30 that Riddle wrestled 3 weeks in a row on Raw, the 1st since August 21, 28, September 4, 11, & 18, 2017 that Hardy wrestled 5 weeks in a row on Raw, was Cedric Alexander & Shelton Benjamin’s 1st Raw since December 4, the 1st time since June 1, 8, & 15 that MVP wrestled 3 weeks in a row on Raw, was the 1st time since September 14, 21, 28, & October 5 that Lashley wrestled 4 weeks in a row on Raw, was Hardy’s 1st Raw main event of 2020, MVP & Riddle’s 1st main event since December 14, Kingston & Woods’ 1st main event since November 9, & Alexander, Benjamin, & Lashley’s 1st main event since September 21 - The 8-Man Tag was the last match of Raw, so that brings the Total Raw Match Count for 2020 to 356 & the only wrestlers to wrestle on both the 1st & last Raw of 2020 were AJ Styles & Shelton Benjamin

Just quoting this to add I hope I'm wrong on that fact. I want this company to be competent and follow through on a storyline, but I've been burned, pardon the phrasing, too much to have amy faith that they might.

I don’t care about the negativity. I’m here next week even harder than I am every other week because I NEED TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED!!! I won't be because Hogan. Orton is running around it’s straight up mercing people left and right. You want to miss out on the chance to see Hogan lit up like witch in Salem?

There's nothing wrong with cliffhangers in wrestling btw
There's something wrong with them when a company that can't even construct a show normally for one week, is trying to do them
Like next week is a special LEGENDS NIGHT show, this isn't gonna be like a "LAST TIME ON" "And now the thrilling conclusion", they will absolutely drag out "WHAT HAPPENED NEXT" till the end of next weeks show, and boy if it isn't satisfying that's only gonna piss more fans off...

So the fact that they're doing Raw Talk now means nothing happened, right?
