Legit 3 for me. I still like a lot of individual talents (like Becky, Bianca, Asuka, Alexa, Seth, KO, Riddle, Zeke, and Lashley just to name some), but everything's just so damn boring to me. Even the Zeke angle is starting to peter out.

[asuka007]

A 3/10. Just a boring show.

The Women’s Division is a mess at the moment. Not in terms of talent. But the booking, is not good.

What is the fascination of keeping that title on Dana Brook?

It feels like they've had like at least 25 segments this year that have ended with her rolling someone up to end the segment still champion. Her being champion all the time is another thing hurting the women's division as she's the one face on Raw who could be an easy pin eater to allow some of these heels to actually win matches for once. However since she's always 24/7 champion they can't book her to ever lose actual matches because that means whoever beats her will then hold the joke of a title. Therefore resulting in stuff like Becky Lynch getting pinned by Dana Brooke in 2022 since Becky beating her would mean she would become 24/7 champion.

I have no idea why insist on still making the title a thing. Like what is even the point?

WWE sees 'comedy' (read: complete filler material) in elaborate sequences of roll-up after roll-up leading to the original champ keeping the belt in the first place, just like when R-Truth was champ.

WWE does genuinely seem to think that the recipe for successful comedy is for everyone to know exactly where the joke is going the second it starts and to never attempt to surprise people in any way.

Didn't watch. Feel OK with my decision. I have good friends who haven't watched RAW in awhile going to the show next week at MSG and I had to warn them how bad it's going to be to experience live. I think the live experience might be as bad as it's ever been if you're not at a PPV.

PPVs and house shows have always been much better than TVs. TV tapings I went to during the Attitude Era were usually extremely light on in-ring, though seeing segments like Vince getting stunnered for the first time, and Triple H’s return from his quad tear were certainly memorable .

I've been to a few TV tapings/live TV, & a few of those shows have been considered "bad".

But being there live, it's a different experience.

Nah, it's always fun imo. And WWE usually treats MSG shows as bigger deal. The smackdown last September was excellent.
