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

[Chris]

I wouldn't be surprised if it's eventually edited bc they're not even listening to what he's saying, they booed after a macho man shout out and then really loud after a Netflix one which I can't imagine looks good

 

[Chris]

Biggest heat on the show tbh and I thought Solo got a lot

It’s not even close

 

[Chris]

My only issue is I wanted the Penta debut tonight, I don't really care about the other fluff. I expected it

 

[Chris]

Rock was pointless again but I really think he's just writing himself out of Mania so until that's proven wrong I approve of him on this show

 

[Grimoire Lenin]

Yeah unfortunately Penta is debuting next week

 

[Chris]

Not sure how quick I tuned into the main event but I'm at least gonna watch the entrances before I tune out. I think I saw all I needed last night, easy MOTN

 

[JakeYourBooty]

I personally enjoyed the show and it didn’t feel like 3 hours to me. I think there was some story progression and it feels like the start of something bigger. Def would have liked the Penta debut and the Lyra v Kota match. But all in all I enjoyed it. As for insane amount of negativity in this thread it’s your right but it sours the fuck outta me and not that you should care how I feel either. Just really bothers me cuz it’s people i genuinely like m…oh well my two cents

it's like 4 people posting a few thoughts in a 600 reply thread - I love you but I struggle understand how you take this shit so personally with this specific company given all the shit they've done. They are still going to be the most profitable and popular company regardless of our criticism. No one is trying to take wwe away either.

I think most of the stuff said was fair too and no one insulted anyone for liking the show at all.

I don’t take the insulting of the company personally at all. If it was in an AEW thread id say the same thing. It’s the negativity in general. Like I love you to man but I don’t understand how a wrestling company makes you so upset. And like I use wrestling like I do movies music and tv shows it’s there to relax me and keep my mind occupied and then I come on a place to talk about it and it’s just always negative and it’s not just you or grim it’s people on the other end too. I’m a mental patient man things affect my mood more than I’d like. It’s why I take breaks. I can’t right now though cuz I’m doing sideBOTS. But don’t misunderstand what I’m saying I disagree with a ton WWE does but dwelling on it drives me nuts.

well because I have morals and I stand for something, that's why

I have a hard time understanding why people I love and respect support this company, I find THAT upsetting, that people with good hearts and big brains support such reprehensible people for a few hours of entertainment. Hell even LGBTQ folks lap it up despite WWE promoting people that dont want them to exist. But I tried to keep it impersonal and about the aspects of the show I didn't like.

Not everyone is ok with just accepting reprhensible bullshit and just moving on. Just because you don't feel strongly enough to take a stand doesn't mean I am in the wrong or ruining your mood for pointing shit I don't like out.

yes it's annoying when people are negative in aew threads. but like I am sorry, apples to oranges with their decades of transgression. If you are over it and don't care and love this shit? awesome. But you don't really get to tell others to bury their heads in the sand because you chose to!

 

[Jimmy King]

I loved the show except for Hogan showing up but the crowd booing him made that worth it.

 

[JakeYourBooty]

And I say that you are free to do as you please and I’m just airing out my grievances. I’m not telling you how to feel and how to act I’m just saying how things make me feel.
But man 90% of what we’ve consumed entertainment wise our entire lives has been done by or connected reprehensible people.

not really, and you can still make the choices to not consume stuff today you know is ran by reprehensible people right now.

this excuse is a cop out so people feel better about themselves. And I know people fucking loathe me for saying this stuff and think I am a huge asshole, but deep down inside they know what I am saying is correct, and that's why it is upsetting.

you can't lump in every form of entertainment with a company that's raped multiple women, drove another to suicide, kept a show going when someone died, had multiple prolific women beaters as their top guys and that's old stuff. today they brought back hogan. it's been less than 24 hours but nah, gotta praise the show and not be negative!

Just because most of the world sucks doesn't mean you can't make an effort to try and not support bullshit. WWE is not food. It's not essential to live.

 

[JakeYourBooty]

I respect your commitment Jeff I do and I don’t mean to downplay its importance to you. I sincerely apologize for making it seem like I’m trying to make you feel bad for it.
