I'm hoping my parents get my brother a PS4 since he wants so much, sucks not having a job and crippling student debt... maybe that's why I watch Raw/WWE to keep my spirits up. :unsmith:

I liked Raw from a storytelling standpoint. League of Nations is loving awesome because it's a stable of otherwise floundering guys which should be the purpose of stables. Also that main event match was fun as heck IMO, but I'm a huge sucker for multiman clusterfucks. The only thing I didn't like with Raw from a story standpoint is I feel like this is what they should've done last week (opening with new champ celebrating, closing with new champ and new lackeys standing tall, etc.) as opposed to whatever the gently caress it was we got last week.

Also bear in mind I literally didn't ever even open the GDT. Probably would've made me not like Raw as much as I did.

Why would people hate Raw this week? I understand being ambivalent maybe, but they gave Roman an actual heel stable to battle that's not just directly The Authority, gave Rusev and Barrett something to do, and hell that main basically gave some people what they wanted in pairing Rusev, Barrett, and Sheamus (and New Day, though questions arise on how permanent that is). They got real heel heat on Sheamus, did some characterization that's not just ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?! over and over. They continued to further the Wyatts/Dudleyz feud in a way that made sense even though it's Wyatts v. Old Fucks. The only thing I really would've done differently is add Owens into the LoN or put him in rather than ADR so that they could also further Dean/Owens in the main event as well.

Miz TV and the material on there was death though. gently caress that poo poo.

How many people on raw tonight were aborted faces who were quietly slipped back to their original heel gimmick

Yeah that was a good RAW. We got a divas angle that might actually make sense and isn't blatantly sexist, even if it is just rehashing what Charlotte did in NXT. New Day were on commentary, and also referenced EVO in a good opening segment (apart from the dumb end). The League of Nations hopefully means Barrett has something to do, while Del Rio has something to do that isn't the weird Meximerica poo poo. Sasha had a fun little match and beat a Bella.

Some parts were bad but at leat there were new storylines and cool people doing cool stuff. It was several times better than last week's steaming pile of poo poo.

Dunno why the hell you'd bring back Tommy Dreamer though. Did everyone else say no?

Spike is super out of shape IIRC. Raven is Raven and also even more out of shape. This is loving sad, but if they were gonna give the Dudleys backup, Dreamer's probably the best available choice.

Also wow, people REALLY hated that Raw. I'm sort of mystified tbh.

Like put Neville against ADR or something. Give him a push because the crowd is learning that none of the current mid or upper mid card faces are ever going to matter.

He's one of the top 100 most over wrestlers alive today. Maybe even in the top 90. I was pleased to see Tommy, and if anything it's a surprise which adds a little something to a pretty dull angle.

Who says they won't? Roman almost certainly won't battle them alone, especially if New Day is legitimately with them and that wasn't a one-off.

Yeah don't get it twisted I liked it but "eh" is perfectly understandable, but "I'm quitting wrestling/WWE" after that Raw confuses me a little.

RVD is even fatter, older, and balder and his move set requires athleticism while Tommy Dreamer's requires the ability to hit people with things and be so fat Dave says you're doing a Dusty tribute with your weight

If Spike just came out in business casual and glasses and sat at ringside going "c'mon you guys it's been 15 years and we all have families to support, let's grow up shall we?" That would be a great act.

I think I agree that as a storytelling medium this was a pretty good Raw. The problem is, like we wind up saying nearly every single goddamn week, it's about an hour too long so the 'yea ok this is an interesting story at least' factor gets overruled by 'oh my god is this still happening'
