WWE Raw Discussion III

[Ruzious]

Apparently Ambrose went off script when he told Seth to slay the beast. Evidently there was more to that promo, explaining why he was going to say that but he decided he didn't like it and just said the ending of the promo.

I know he’s on his way out, but this explains why he got squashed tonight.

He just beat EC3 last week too.

Hey, I was entertained, though I'm guessing Ambrose won't win again on tv for the WWE. His mind has left the building.

And regardless of the crowd, I loved the debuts of the NXT guys. They all were great in different ways and were pushed well.

Lafayette never deserves a TV show again

Vince is probably livid right now

That's what he gets for working towns like Lafayette and Corpus Cristi.

He should be having shows in medium to big cities, hell, do more shows in Canada, shows will be hot (even if its not the way they want it to be).

I doubt he wants to work places like that, but when the product is garbage it's probably hard to sell out arenas in bigger, better places.

I sure as hell am not paying to go to Raw. I don't even bother watching it on TV.

[Stanford]

I dont watch Raw but you can bet your ass I'd go to a live show if they got desperate enough to come to Halifax.

WWE could be splitting Rush and Lashley up because Rush is apparently "rubbing people the wrong way" again.

There's nothing wrong with doing a show in Corpus Christi. It's a decent market size to have a show there once every how many years. It's Lafayette that's the poor choice - especially a show coming off a PPV and debuting 4 great talents.

[Butch718]

They should be holding house shows only in those cities. The crowd last night was beyond terrible.

[WRau1]

Road to WM should be all major cities (if possible) because a hot crowd adds so much to the story.

Sadly, Lafayette is only about 20% worse than the usual main roster crowds.

This is what happens when the enthusiasm has been beaten out of main roster crowds over the years.

Wrestling fans still have lots of enthusiasm for the product. They bitch and complain about in on the regular. I think it's more about the kind of people they draw to these events. They're so focused on being cirque du soleil (which is probably a good strategy financially) that their crowds end up just gawking at the show without much attachment to the product.

[loserX]

Can't add anything about the Lafayette crowd, so I won't. (Except that I honestly thought something was wrong with the volume on my TV once or twice.)

Some curious booking regarding Finn. He wins his first IC title by pinning someone who didn't even hold it, then gets the win in his first match afterward while standing outside the ring and watching a debuting guy score the pin. That is...not conventional champ booking.

[improper]

Kind of crazy that the four guys they called up last night are responsible for about half of WWE's best matches from the past two years.

And they weren't even treated like big deals last night. And why was Ciampa working as a face?

Just tons of wrong all around, exactly what people complain about when NXT callups essentially seem to have to start all over from scratch once they get to the main roster.

The booking last night was just as odd as how bad the crowd was. I agree with those of you saying Lafayette should never have a TV show again -- that crowd was that bad. They should've been marking out over the top NXT guys, and instead, they treated the whole thing like it was just a regular occurrence.

Do they though? I mean i think its fair to say RAW and smackdown has been mostly garbage other than that month or so when they decided to actually try (that was a good month). So you can't blame the fans entirely for being not enthusiastic by the bad booking.

[Spens1]

I dont watch Raw but you can bet your ass I'd go to a live show if they got desperate enough to come to Halifax.

I mean, i'd go for NXT but raw or smackdown would be a stretch unless the tickets where cheap i feel. I mean the shows live are always better than on TV.

House shows are a different beast than Raw. Much more focused on giving the crowd a good show.

Sorry, I should have been more clear. I meant Raw or SD!

[Scott Hall]

Is it bad I'm more interested in Ric Flairs 70th Birthday Party Celebration then I am of WrestleMania?
I hope the segment goes 20 or 30 minutes and they bring out a bunch of legends from his past would
be more interesting then the current roster guys.

Seriously I hate when they tour these cities in the South, Mid West and West Coast as the crowds always seem dead.
At least when they're in the North East, Mid West, Canada or England the crowd adds to a bad show or even trolls them
which is entertaining to me as a viewer.
