WWE RAW 31st October 2011 - LIVE Halloween Edition Discussion

Hmm my post above looks screwy to me anyone else.

It is strange how the ending to RAW was so weak. Normally it is the other way around where the opening segment is boring because it goes on too long but then the final half hour is where all the good stuff happens.

My favorite bit would have to be Hornswoggle making an appearance. It was his dream and he got his wish

 

[Troy]

There were plenty of parts that I enjoyed. I liked the interaction between the Muppets and the wrestlers I thought that WWE really did well with that. Sheamus saying that he was related to Beaker was the funniest Muppet moment.

From a wrestling stand point I liked The Rock's promo and the match between Show and Del Rio was good.

Jim Ross wrote on Twitter, "4 the record, I'm in Atlanta. Was informed by Raw GM's office, my services weren't needed. Cole wants 2 make fun of my 3 surgeries. Classy."

No one has told me this but I am guessing they cut the segment as they were running long.

I think that it is a pretty fair guess that they ran out of time for it so they scrapped it. I hate watching the segments because it is uncomfortable to watch Cole do that.

 

[Andrew]

Cole needs to leave immediately, he annoys me so much.

 

[Troy]

They need to tone down his character. He can be a heel but his role is to call play-by-play and advance the storylines not to become a storyline himself.

I agree and one of the most awkward parts about it is that you don't know how much of it's real and how much of it's false. If one or the other did something to make it seem like it was all part of the show I don't think I'd mind as much but for the most part it just seems like WWE is telling Cole to be a dick to Ross.

 

[Troy]

It does look like they just say to Cole say as many insulting things as you like. They don't even really have Lawler defend JR that much. I don't know how Cole does it unless he really feels that way about JR. It is odd how WWE are running this angle when they are part of the Be A Star campaign to stop bullying.
