If you can’t really see how radically different this episode of Raw was compared to the way they’ve been producing it for years, that’s your deal. The explosion spot to start the show was insane, they haven’t done anything to that level in awhile. They manipulated their usual protocol during incidents like that to really make it seem legitimate. It was more than a “holy shit”, it’s just a complete departure, especially when you add the camera they use and the fact that Cole played the “this is not part of the entertainment” card.
Did you notice that pretty much every match that happened tonight was logical and had a purpose/story behind it? No “random wrestler standing in the ring ready to wrestle with his theme being played” followed by a full length entrance from the eventual winner of the match. They told stories rather than just threw matches together.
How did you not notice that all of the matches were also shorter? It was action packed. They didn’t just sit in one match for a long time. Joe chokes out Kofi pretty quick, Cesaro just fucks up No Way Jose, it happened like every time. Match length has been a huge issue on Raw for years and years. There’s no reason to care and WWE has long overestimated the attention span of its audience for nearly flawless wrestling for absolutely no reason. Save the longer matches for PPV’s and main events, use the shorter TV matches to advance storylines. This was the goal tonight, clearly.
Michael Cole was really invested, the wrestlers actually looked like they gave a shit, there was a ton of intensity throughout.
There were dozens of other things going on that broke precedent. I stopped watching about 3 months ago and coming back, this show was the opposite of everything that made me dislike WWE so much in recent years.
I don’t watch Raw, but Reddit is having a fucking orgasm saying it’s the best show of the decade and shit.
Nathan Lopez
I didn't see any differences since like the past 4 years I didn't watch RAW
Matthew Jenkins
I liked. Made more sense desu.
Only nitpicks is natty.
Gabriel Gray
It was tolerable this week. It was a little tighter of a show. Op is exaggerating because they're excited
Kevin Butler
Of course they are, it was packed top to bottom with feminism and white women loving blacks and literal cucking and femdom. It was Reddit: the wrestling show.
I am not joking.
Logan Garcia
Sering things that are not there.
Gavin Roberts
It was a decent throwaway episode. Keyword: throwaway. Other than AJ turning heel (which is a low card feud since he's beating up a jobber) what storyline was advanced? >le cuck angle Nothing, absolutely nothing. Champions are still a bunch of useless shitters nobody cares for and even less people pay to see, there's no focal storyline involving major superstars, nothing groundbreaking that makes you wonder what's gonna happen next week. >but le heel turn Is he going for the world title or is he gonna have a grudge match against Prostatet? If they're going for cheap shock value then it's gonna work. Long term, with the cocksuckers at the top of the card, they're screwed.
Thomas Gutierrez
cringe
Aaron Allen
Not as cringe as the segment the champions were in.
Juan Gonzalez
Heyman is still working with Vince's shit but he put hiw own spin on it, chucked in some random entertaining stuff and ended and started the show the way we've all been begging them to for years
Robert Scott
yeah ok mark
Jayden Richardson
Legit the first RAW I didn't speed through a single segment. Even the fucking 24/7 storyline was entertaining. The whole show finally felt cohesive. Like for once it didnt feel like a slap dash of a bunch of segments or a multitude of commercials followed by recaps of shit that literally happened 5 minutes ago. 3 hours and they got a ton of people in on the camera and moved stories along or actually created new storylines. Having a feud legit over a title that forces a heel turn was nice to see. And aside from Shane no domineering Authority fucking angle. I'm actually looking forward to next week.
Dylan Jones
RAM has been a 2 or 3 /10 for months
This one was like a 6/10.
Jacob Martin
>literally gives away the outcome of the match halfway through by announcing who wins the second fall
giving it away would be saying "commercial break before third fall" you literal retard
>12:30 am >writing essays on Yea Forums about wrestling\ Holy shit please have sex and make plans for tomorrow immediately your life isn't gonna take an upturn from here if you don't do something FAST
>How did you not notice that all of the matches were also shorter? That's just because of Vince's new autistic invention, he doesn't want there to be wrestling during commercial breaks, so they keep stopping them within five minutes for various reasons. I'm honestly already tired of it. The last match too, oh look Ricochet had his foot under the rope, better grovel over this during the break and restart the match afterwards. It's so transparent and already getting really silly
Jose Perry
i didn't read a single word of the OP post i saw the length and thought the lad needed a wake up call
>And still in the thread responding talking about other people need a wake up call You dont know what time it is where the other faggot is you brainlet. All we know for sure is you're the type of incel who goes on a wrestling board past midnight, doesnt read the posts, but complains other people are putting them up. Kill yourself and stop tainting the gene pool with your poz
No it was fucking garbage. You had one good opening segment and a AJ styles turned heel in the main event. Other than that it was absolutely horrible, cringe shit. Becky , seth the khanelis = cringe, cringe promos , ricochet is embarrassing on the mic, it was the same garbage 2 out of 3 falls with the matches being cut in an absolutely weird way and starting after the commercial break. The wwe champion losing again on weekly TV. Watch it, it was embarrassing. People are literally grasping for reason to suck this show's dick. Its pathetic how mediocrity is the fucking standard now. Absolutely terrible. To give you a taste khanelis said something like "I put a baby out of my uterus, I am waiting for you to do that" to becky. Yikes.
Christopher Nelson
>To give you a taste khanelis said something like "I put a baby out of my uterus, I am waiting for you to do that" to becky. The line was "I pushed a baby out of my uterus, think you can do that?" which was sarcasm at Becky calling herself The Man and her saying she was just as Becky if not more. Dude if you dont like the show dont watch it. It's super simple.
Jack Adams
There weren't a shit lot of commercials?! Wtf were you watching?
Angel Scott
The edited streamed version without commercials. You fucking watch TV with commercials in 2019?
It was a fucking cringe line. Just because you like to eat shit doesnt mean some people arent going to remind you its shit. This whole segment was absolutely cringe and it involved the universal champion ant the women champion....but its fucking ok? Good god
James Cruz
seething retard
Samuel Torres
"T..the edited version" If you watched it live then there were as much commercials as any other show. Duh
Nathaniel Bell
Change your channel before that seethe boils over junior
>and the fact that Cole played the “this is not part of the entertainment” card.
Are you serious? Is he fucking serious? I didn't actually watch RAW, because I was at the gym in search of a clue. Did Michael fucking Cole, worst announcer who ever lived, genuinely try to pass off some hokey, staged shit as "real"?
That alone makes it the worst RAW of the year. A bad match is just shit, and you move on with things. A "worked shoot" is ALWAYS shit and it inherently ruins the entire fucking show.
Yes, I'm seething. I'm goddamn boiling. Fuck Vince McMahon, fuck Michael Cole, and fuck this company.
>I didn't actually watch RAW Lies >I was at the gym lololololol > in search of a clue LOLOLOLOLOLOL >did Michael Cole try to keep kayfabe? BURN HIM! Post your chin you manlet
rico isn't a jobber just because he's fingered his butt on camera
Henry White
WWE is back to where they belong: ON TOP.
We'll always win because we are talent/roster is just plain better, no offense to Monkey Boy and Darby Whatever.
Matthew Garcia
Idiots are so mind fuck from hating the \WWE jthey just can't see the big picture anymore, just like how they can't see their outlaw and weeb shit wrestling is just as terrible but not willing to listen. Braun and Lashley are having a LMS match at extreme rules coming up, and the segment going through the set and both guys taken out for the rest of the show perfectly sets up the backstory of who will be the last man standing. Ricochet and AJ Styles now have a reason for the title on Extreme Rules as well, it went from friendly competition to heel AJ beating the shit out of him. It' simple pro wrestling booking 101, and it does no t have to be out of this world never been done before, because everything has been done to death in pro wrestling. It's not great yet, but it's also something in the right direction. And if you like making shit up like nuances and subtleties to create a fake story for your weeb shit, so did I. If you have a problem with this, go fuck your ass and take a good hard look at yourself in the mirror because you're hating the very thing you claim to like
It was definitely felt like a shorter episode so they did something right making 3 hours feel like 2. It flowed better than usual so we'll see if it sticks next week. Being in Texas helped, I barely saw any tarps.
Jayden Walker
The explosion spot was insane? Yeah because getting pushed through a curtain with a few sparklers going off is 'insane'.
Ian Gray
Please i’m begging you to get out the house
Josiah Russell
It was positive. Has me excited as a fan. I like how they are using women as romantic interests, giving them a role deeper than “I want to be the bestler”.
Lincoln Gomez

I didn't realize how thirsty edrones are, holy fuck all it took was one pyro display 1/8 the size of an old Raw episode
Easton Roberts
yea it was hilarious seeing Yea Forums go on and on about how terrible WWE was and how they weren't going to watch, only for dozens of threads and hundreds of posts to pop up talking about how "great" WWE was and how they "were back" the second some guys busted through the screen for the 100th time and some fireworks went off really makes sense why they'd run a cuck angle. the guy who compared it to the battered wife who claimed her husband changed after not breaking her ribs for 1 weekend said it best.
Eli Kelly
Raw has been good 3 weeks in a row. Improving week on week. An effort is being made. As for battered wives, if it’s been a week without a beating, good for her. She is improving aswell.
Jack Allen
Please kill yourself Cody, those organs would be put to better use in other humans that need them
