I think they're really starting to feel it with no World champion. We literally went from having two of them to none. This is not working with Lesnar, they haven't even acknowledged him or the championship since NOC. Make the guy work more dates, what the hell does he do in his free time anyway? (besides Sable) It's not like he's busy making movies like Dwayne or in a band like Jericho.

The Monday before Hell in the Cell, I wonder if Brock will make an appearance tonight?

and do you think Harper or Rowan will finally fight/show their face at hell in a cell or the raw afterwards?

I don't know man, wrestling just seems so dead. Bring back Vince Russo or something. There's no characters now. I don't know who the wrestling audience is anymore. Is it kids? Reality tv fans (total divas bs)? Teens/adults? I don't think they even know who their audience is. The product is just a mess

Somebody's got to bleed occasionally. Bring back Abdullah the Butcher.

Agreed. It's been football every Monday for me. Except for the show at Barclays.

I would rather see guys beating up on jobbers every week like they used to instead of these same damn matches over and over. It's insulting. Why should I watch when I can pretty much write the show myself before it airs?

Not gonna sit here and not watch Raw... (especially for fantasy boys) but I do have to agree.

I can't tell if it's the fact that it's 3 hours now, or that there just arent enough believable superstars... or what. But the product has definitely gotten repetitive and watered down in certain ways.

For example... there's been like 5 Cesaro vs Ziggler matches since Wrestlemania, and essentially none of them felt important. These are the types of matches that used to get built up for a month or two before they finally came to a head at a PPV. I've been binge watching old wrestling for the past handful of months. Watched basically every Raw and PPV from 95, and I'm in July of 96 right now (sue me). They just did a muchhhh better job of developing feuds. The characters were actually characters with gimimicks or personalities that made them interesting, and made the feuds make sense and have significance.

The only feud that really feels legit is Rollins vs Ambrose. But we've seen them in matches together like 10 times already since the Shield split. Luckily both of those guys are the **** so its not COMPLETELY played out now... but they need to find something else before that angle really loses its spark and those guys lose their momentum

On another note... did anyone see this clip from the Smackdown after the Raw at Barclays center? Pretty good

3 hours in one sitting is way too long. Should cut it down to 2. Make is leaner and meaner with sharper story lines.

I agree 3 hours is so long by the final hour I feel exhausted watching it cause the middle hour is so boring.

That was actually pretty amusing, but both guys are getting up there in age...having a motor is one of the most important things, and once you hit those mid-40s, that starts to go.

they got too much going on, unless they plan on releasing dozens of guys, they have to do something guys cant develop on their own unless WWE plans on pushing them......they need to go back to two different brands, even with the three hours on Raw its too crammed

This is why I'll be watching Hell In A Cell...

I enjoyed the Ziggler match. Just wondering why they made it a clean sweep over Cesaro. They are doing Cesaro wrong man.

WTF was this ending to the Ambrose/Rollins match all about!?

IMAN5 · Post #58 » by **IMAN5** » Mon Oct 27, 2014 2:58 am

literally the worst ending I've ever seen in a long time.

IMAN5 · Post #59 » by **IMAN5** » Mon Oct 27, 2014 3:00 am

so WWE universe so badly want a clean one on one match of Ambrose vs Rollins, with no interference or no one getting involved. Put them in Hell in the Cell they say, no one from the Authority can interfere they said.

I would have rather seen the Authority interfere...

BUT NOPE. We get the "DEBUT" of Bray Wyatt aka a guy who WWE creative KILLED his hype only to bring him back randomly without his team.

WTF?

Agreed. And I hate how the announcing crew always goes totally silent when the lights turn off.
