I am month behind on the network but its like RAW has fallen off a cliff while Smackdown has actually gotten decent again. The gulf between the two has not been this bad since late 2016 IMHO and even then RAW was better then relative to now. I know a,ittle bit about whats comming up in the next few weeks of RAW and it seems to get even worse.

NXT continues to excel and surprisingly 205 Live is not half bad and can be better than Smackdown on occasion.

Beats me.

RAW has been shit since WM. Because it has basically been about getting Roman over after having him lose clean at WM. They really should have just had him won at Mania and then there wouldn't be a problem.

There just hasn't been any good storylines on Raw whatsoever. Apart from Ronda. But that's a small percentage of the overall show.

Elias seems interesting from what I've seen. People are getting behind him, slowly maybe.

Braun, Elias, Rollins, Ziggler, and Ronda keep it okay. Beyond that, most of it sucks.

I'm only commenting to see if anyone can let me know if I've really missed anything since Mania.
Sounds like Ronda's segments are like Brock's in 2014 (that's a good thing)

Yeah Ronda is interesting and so far being booked well. I want more “stone cold moments” from her, but so far it’s good.

It's more than sh*t, it's vomit, urine, snot and diarrhea flushed down the toilet.
So...its Batman v Superman & Suicide Squad then?

RAW should be cancelled.
No! If they cancel RAW then all the bullshit will end
up on SDL...

Really? You include Ziggler in that group?

I wouldn't define Ronda as "interesting" & her booking so far is...
~ Beating up Stephanie McMahon...
~ Being friends with Natalya...
~ A lame feud with Nia Jax...(which is Nia's fault...because she's lame)
&
~ And having her first singles match ruined by
AlexaWinlol...which was just cringe.

I don't call that good booking...

I call that f*cking pathetic...& its only going to get
worse at Summerslam when she has to spend
10 minutes selling to Alexa Bliss...which is like
expecting a tiger to sell to a duck.

I stand by my statement...Ronda should have been
introduced as a heel working for Stephanie in an
attempt to control the entire women's division over
both main roster brands...this allowing the company
to build Ronda up by having her literally break every
woman that stepped up to challenge her while in the
long term building up to the Ronda/Charlotte match
at Wrestlemania 35.

But no...lets market Ronda as Rowdy Piper's daughter
for some unknown reason...

Ugh...

Seriously...Ronda should squash Alexa in 90 seconds
or less at Summerslam.

I wouldn't go that far to cancel it because RAW has been on the air for 25 years with no hiatus or no breaks in between seasons, it's been going on since 1993. Despite all of the stupid shit that the WWE does, they do have a lot of memorable moments that happened in the past like the stuff with Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Rock, Mankind, Kane and Undertaker, D-Generation X, Too Cool and Rikishi, Big Show, Kurt Angle, John Cena, Chris Jericho and of course the 2011 pipe bomb with CM Punk that was on RAW too. It's just been sucking in more recent years because of the 3 hour format that they've had since RAW 1000 way back in 2012 which is 6 years ago as of right now.

Raw hasn't been great in a good 4 years now. Yes, they have had some great shows but they have not been consistently good in a long, long time.

I would say shortly after Punk left, it started going down hill. This wasn't even because of him leaving, it kind of just started the fire.

Yes Ziggler can put on a damn show. I know it’s annoying seeing him do anything because WWE has put him all over the place and killed him, but when he is able to be himself and wrestle, the guy still has it and makes people like Rollins look even better.

And as far as anything else you’re saying, I love you man, but you always hate anything WWE does so I get it. Lol.
