Raw Live Raw discussion thread, January 6th 2025: Raw is Netflix. 2 big matches announced

[Brandon Blaze]

No more curating the production we’re just gonna get authentic reactions?

It’s so great. Like shit can ruin the moment sometimes when it has to keep muting and cutting. So definitely a welcomed change

 

[Smart Marx]

I feel blessed to be watching this match tonight, but I also feel like with the build up we’re kind of getting robbed of not getting this at wrestlemania but hopefully punk and Roman wind up happening so we still have something good to look forward to.

 

[Smart Marx]

Isn't it nice not to have a bajillion camera cuts too?

Not just less cuts but more fluid transitions as well.

 

[JakeYourBooty]

Man we could’ve got kota/lyra instead of that hogan shit

Yes what match they could of had in that 4 minutes

 

[Grimoire Lenin]

Not just less cuts but more fluid transitions as well.

"We're trying to shoot movies here *munches on carrot*"

These are two of my favorite wrestlers on the roster so this is just cinema for me. I don’t have a strong preference. I just want to see these two kill it.

 

[Smart Marx]

I wonder if Triple H could envision how great of a deal he was getting himself in for when he decided to finally talk to punk and bring him in at a survivor series and if he knew that punk was going to main event the first raw on Netflix.

Hey Smark I’m gonna send you a pm

 

[Jimmy King]

Golden Globe winner Kieran Culkin in the front row

 

[Smart Marx]

That might be the smoothest knee catch I’ve ever seen out of the GTS.

 

[Shane]

Rock also said bullshit and no beep out

 

[Smart Marx]

Interesting that the Netflix logo is on the bottom of the mat instead of like on the skirt or on the barricade. Not saying it’s a bad spot for it. It’s just interesting.

 

[Jacob Fox]

Hit with a monitor(tablet)! Hit with a monitor(tablet)!

 

[Smart Marx]

You can’t pedigree motherfucker on the announce table don’t you remember when Jericho tore my man’s quad over there?

 

[Smart Marx]

I will say Seth’s pedigrees do look better now that he doesn’t do them as his actual finish anymore.
