No More Post-RAW Content & Two Other Updates

[Prince Bálor]

- As noted, Tuesday's episode of The Monday Night War will be the finale of the current season. The synopsis reads like this:

"The war comes to a shocking conclusion, upstaged only by the talents that cross enemy lines in the years that follow."

- Tuesday's episode of WWE Countdown will feature the ten most infamous Intercontinental Champions of all-time. Fans voted on the results in a poll that WWE's website released back in July 2014.

- There will be no new content or even a Backstage Pass post-show airing after this coming Monday's RAW on the WWE Network. WWE will just air a SmackDown Flashback from August 26th, 1999 with the network premiere of SmackDown at 11:06pm EST.

It's a good thing they got rid of Lawler and now of this crap (post-Raw content).

Slightly gutted that its the last Monday night war enjoyed the series a lot

Like they needed 10 hours of programming on monday to begin with

 

[Prince Bálor]

Yeah, because the 3 they give us on RAW are usually meh.

What is wrong with the post RAW content? It is just the same as any post game recap show that the NHL, NBA, NFL, MLB, UFC and so forth put out, recapping what happened and what we can expect going forward. And it airs on the network so it isn't like it takes away from any other programming on USA. It's not like these post-RAW shows are the greatest sin WWE has committed, if it is a sin at all.

Can someone enlighten me to how this is supposed garbage? Other than the typical IWC excuse of "I don't like it, therefore it is shit".

I just think it's overkill. They already have a three-hour show, plus they have a freaking pre-show and then a post-show? I just think it's waay too much stuff for one night.

 

[Prince Bálor]

Yes, I don't know why anyone would bother watching a pre-show (unless there's an interesting match there), let alone the post-show. Like Leo said, it's just an overkill.

Now that they've pulled the plug on the post-Raw content, here's to hoping they pull the plug on Superstars and ME. Superstars is crap, while ME isn't necessarily a bad show, they just need to focus on SD more in order to improve it.

I don't like RAW, how the fuck would I want to watch extra filler RAW? :heyman:

I would like to know the answer to the question underlined to be honest, I've never stuck around to peep it so I don't know what content is exactly included on the Post-RAW show, I believe it's like recapping & backstage interviews but I honestly have no idea.. I know the one time they aired that WWEN exclusive US Title match where Rusev won the title but as far as I know that was the only match they showed.

 

[Prince Bálor]

The only good, relevant thing that's ever happened on this post-RAW stuff, as far as I remember, is Sheamus vs Rusev for the US title.
