[mistery]

A 1. Tonight's RAW was complete and utter trash.

Asuka got completely buried by someone who can barely wrestle, and no sold all of Asuka's big offensive moves.

[Gus Richlen Was Wrong]

There are a lot of people I like on RAW: Charlotte, McIntyre, Asuka, Shayna, Hurt Business, Ricochet, RETRIBUTION, and some others.

I wish they were on NXT or SD instead of stuck in Horrifically Shitty Booking Land.

And apparently in the live thread I was wrong for thinking that looked bad on an already paper champ Asuka.

I LIKE Goth Fiend Bliss, I just didn't like this booking scenario.

I honestly don't think Asuka can bounce back from tonight. It was a complete and utter assassination of her character. Even as a heel she wasn't this weak. I hope to god that the moment Asuka loses her titles, she leaves the company or finds a way back to NXT. Because she is WAY above what happened tonight.

She's in the same boat as Owens, she's won everything, done everything there is to do, and the only thing left is either a big character change, or leaving the company

I doubt WWE would let her go though, like, they'd throw A LOT of cash at her to stay I guarantee it. Unless money didn't matter to her, her best hope is going to her roots as Kana and responding to Bliss with her dark facepaint. I just dont trust WWE enough to do it.

[Deleted]

I've found Asuka a bit boring for a while now. It's not her fault because she still gives it her all and tries to have fun with the material she gets, but she desperately needs a change. I HOPE this is leading to her going psycho to battle Alexa, but I also don't blame anyone for not giving WWE a chance on this. Knowing them, she'll be back to dancing and acting goofy
next week.

Anyway, the show gets a 5 overall.

[Harry The Arrow was Wrong!]

1. Awful, awful, awful, awful show.

This same company somehow also makes Smackdown. It's mind boggling.

[john84]

7 for me.

Weren't there reports at one point, I think during peak Retribution, where guys like Meltzer were being told by Smackdow employees that they were baffled their show wasn't as bad as RAW's while being run by the same people?

Really it is odd. FOX must have higher standards. 

[Deleted]

I had to leave the live thread and finish the show later.

I’m actually fine with the main event.

I looked at it as the Fiend possessing Alexa. Now Asuka has to fight a “God” level character like the Fiend. She looked like a badass. Asuka didn’t hide or runaway she took it to Bliss.

In the end Bliss won, but at the same time it wasn’t normal level Bliss. That protects Asuka.This is more interesting than Asuka’s last few months playing Lanas or Flairs bff.

I’m interested in where this part of the story is going. I hope Alexa destroys Flair next week..

Well... that would be a rebound for me personally at least

[Deleted]

Hey, such a good main event with clean finish - why not give it a 10!

If it was not for live threads, rest of the crap would probably bother me and I'd give it just 9.

[Legion]

I was entertained. That's the second Raw in a row where I found myself enjoying it rather than not. I'm not saying it was a great show, just that I found enough in the good to make up for the bad and found myself entertained rather than wanting to turn it off. Some decent stories going on, and some good old fashioned cheesy soap opera drama.

That's what I want in my wrestling. Crazy stories.

[Push R Truth]

That Charlotte/Royce match last night almost perfect encapsulates what I don't like about RAW. There was zero damn reason for that match to be so freaking long outside of "we need filler". Like seriously. That shitty ass match needed 2 segments? REALLY!!??


That entire segment could have accomplished everything in less than 5 minutes and the ONLY thing that would have been missed is some kickouts and plodding ringwork.

[Deleted]

Admittedly, last night was the first time I'd glanced at RAW in quite a while, so I'll refrain from voting and influencing a poll of a show I don't really watch, but man it's so bad right now. I'm well aware that I'm looking through rose-colored nostalgia glasses, but it makes me so sad that a show called RAW, which really lived up to its name during my childhood, is now overproduced nonsense.

[Finish Uncle Muffin’s Story]

I get it's not a great show and all, but that AJ/Ricochet match alone puts it at a 5 for me. That was a barn-burner.

[Deleted]

Honest to god, I don’t know how you guys are still watching this. 1. Good lord that is f***ing AWFUL television.
