Is predictability really ever a bad thing though? There's a lot of overused tropes WWE have but usually when fans bitch about predictability that's not what the problem really is. Most things are predictable because they make sense. For example, we'll complain about how predictable this Bortista/Dorito feud is, but the real thing we're complaining about is that it's fucking boring and a complete waste of time.

It never really bothers me. Unpredictability is great if something is genuinely unpredictable, but just doing random shit for the sake of not trying to be predictable is Blue. People hated Big Show/Lesnar because everyone knew Lesnar was going to be put over in a big way, but I was still marking my tits off watching him beat the piss out of him and then parading around the ring with him on his shoulders to F5 him.

PPV quality ME last night. Orton looked great. It's fun to see him when he's playing to the crowd. Raw was very good last night, and it didn't even have Brock on it. You can dissect an entire show segment by segment, but at the end of the day, were you entertained? The answer is yes. Very good raw.

 

[Dolph'sZiggler]

You must be the only person who enjoyed the ME.

 

[Danielson]

Maybe, sure there are others.

I feel like people see Orton vs Cena and immediatly are detached, regardless of what type of match they put on.

 

[Dolph'sZiggler]

True, I didn't give the match a chance, but can you really blame people? WWE should have taken note by the reaction the RR match got. We. don't. want. to. see. that. tired. shit. anymore.

Finally was able to finish up the rest of RAW just now, I didn't think it was great it certainly wasn't bad.. I would probably give it like a high 6 or low 7 out of 10.
It's always nice to see Ryback even though he and Axel jobbed out to the Usos but I did think that when Jey tagged Jimmy in midair was pretty dope. The sister Abigail by Bray was awesome he has had some great placements on those lately. The ME is something I didn't really care for, not saying they didn't put on a show, it was just something of personal taste that I did not care for. The NAO/Betty White Segment was awesome, always like to see some shenanigans like that go down. Christian & Sheams v. Real Americans was decently entertaining.. The Divas matches were pollution as per usual and also I could care less for Santino vs Fandango or the two girls that those two walk around with.

 

[Danielson]

No, I don't blame people at all. Db got him last week, Cena got him this week, and next week someone else will get him that's in the chamber. Right now, Orton is 0-2 with that loss against members in the EC. I think it made sense with what they are doing to have that match as the ME on Raw. Also, it delivered excitement with the false finishes, and the overall quality of the match was there. I encourage people to go back and watch it, because it may go down as one of the better matches on Raw in 2014.

He beat Christian on SD last week, he's 1-2.

He beat Christian on SD last week, he's 1-2.

Missed smackdown, but my point remains the same. He's going through the entire EC opponent list.

Right right lol Triple H announced that on RAW last week

He goes against Cesaro this week on SD in case you cared to check it out.

I will have to check it out. I heard DB vs Cesaro last week was good as well.

yeah for sure DB/Cesaro was in my eyes the most entertaining match of that night, probably should just youtube that match separately haha I didn't rly think too much happened on SD to constitute a "need to watch" except for that match.

Yup, @Trip in the Head was telling me the same thing in a PM.

 

[ShaRpY HaRdY]

Hellz yeah it was, DB/Cesaro stole the show on SD imo. I have a feeling Orton will win vs Cesaro (although at the same time I hope Cesaro puts on a freaking awesome show!) and then on RAW next week lose to Sheamus but honestly to me that plays more to the favor of him retaining at EC.

 

[Dolph'sZiggler]

orton is 100% retaining IMO sadly
