WWE: WWE TV - Raw & Smackdown

[Jussi]

The warm welcome I deserve.

Not very...shocking.

What am I, a one-trick-pony? I have depth, you know.

Does anyone know what Jinder Mahal is up to these days? Away due to coronavirus, maybe? I feel like that's a surefire B-PPV match for McIntyre.

No one cares. Or did you turn heel and aren't playing for the fans anymore?

Jinder's injured again.

 

[GKJ]

They were actually starting to turn Jinder face before he got hurt again.

 

[The Shockmaster]

Jinder's like the Miz to me. I can't imagine them being anything other than 'arrogant heel'.

What the hell was that...

What the hell was that...

I'm guessing Vince finally watched Fight Club.

 

[kanuck87]

so uhh did they call a DQ in the Baszler/Banks match when Asuka came in to attack Bayley?

just a no contest. They clearly didn’t want to beat either one

That's stupid. Just another reason they're going downhill fast.

 

[JackSlater]

Sometimes when you see something like Raw Underground you know you're seeing future podcast fodder live as it is happening.

Other than Antifa, or whatever the hell that was, throwing Molotov cocktails at the power generator, I really liked Raw yesterday.

- Orton and McIntyre had a SOLID promo. I love how personal it got between the 2 at the end.

- The hurt business is a great faction name. Rough night, but the end was great TV. I'm very happy for Shelton Benjamin, who gets to be relevant 1 last time.

- I dig this "Raw underground" thing. As long as they don't over push it though.

- Could "Retribution" be Undisputed Era? Adam Cole has more than deserved a call-up.

I can’t do fake fake fighting


I’m trying to follow what happened on RAW but I just can’t anymore

 

[Kaner9]

Is raw underground the new NWO but without being cool or popular? Hmmm

 

[IceColdOx]

I notice a lot of people get upset when they see the same tropes on Raw, SD, AEW, NXT or other shows. However, the Raw Underground thing happened on Monday and some people have instantly hated it. I'm on the fence because we don't have enough information or know where it's going.

Let me ask this. Are we too quick to hate on something and should we give things more of a chance?

You do know what site we're on?

In most cases, I'd agree with you. But I think we've already seen enough of Raw Underground to say it sucks. Every fight seemed it like it was just a takedown and punches and a submission. I just can't see it lasting.

I do like The Hurt Business from the little I've seen though.

 

[Say Hey Kid]

There's a rumor that Scott Steiner and Sting are returning.

 

[JackSlater]

There's a rumor that Scott Steiner and Sting are returning.

Makes a lot of sense after WWE left them looking so good in their previous WWE singles runs.

 

[BostonBob]

Ouch !!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Dominator13]

The kid took those shots like a champ.

I don't know what's Dominic's salary in WWE, but for sure, at his age jumping right ahead on Raw and the Summerslam card, he must be absolutely HATED by younger wrestlers training at the performance center. I have a feeling that Seth and Murphy gave him as many hard shots they could, to fast track respect in the back, more than for a moment to viewers.

His stomach looks even worse FYI.

There just lucky that Dominics papi is dead. RIP Eddie

I mean obviously you shouldn't watch for the "fighting." Everyone knows it's fake and really shouldn't be considered in whether you want to watch or not. There's a ton of other shit to watch if you want to see something for legit fights.

But yeah, even most of the storylines are incredibly boring or stupid now. I'm only a subscriber because I'm a Strowman mark, and this is probably going to be his only run with a top title. Once he drops it to Fiend at SummerSlam, I'm almost certainly unsubscribing until creative can come up with more entertaining shit.

It's just an introduction into the harsh realities of life for those young wrestlers.

Lesson for the day: it's about who you know, not your inherent talent or "doing your time."
