7/10. This Raw was a huge improvement on last week's abyssmal episode.

Spoiler: My opinion

I liked:

Shane vs Vince Promo

Neville vs Owens

Sami Zayn's appearance

Banks and Lynch vs Naomi and Tamina

New Day vs Y2AJ

Jericho's heel turn

Wyatt vs Ambrose was all right.

I didn't like:

Pointless Kallisto and Breeze match

Pointless Ryback and Axel match

Summer Rae vs Brie Bella

I was indifferent to:

Ziggler vs the League

All in all, this was a MUCH better Raw than we have seen lately, Shadow told me if it were a two hour show, he would have given it a 9 and I agree.

 

[Rogue]

Yeah, basically meaning any good 3 hour Raw will always have some bad.

Shane's opening was great, made a mistake yet flowed through it with such ease. Nothing much others can do. Most of the matches were good, Sami being on the main roster is great. Pretty cool they somewhat built it up on SD, Owens saying he has no one to face etc etc. They at least tried.

So so so glad Y2AJ is over, kinda wish AJ was the one to turn, though. Portrays him as a gullible rookie, trusting someone you just came out of a feud with. He's a killer heel, just want to see it happen. The match was at least really well done, especially with a clean finish.

Ambrose and Triple H burned wayyy too long, but their altercation at the end was nice. And you heard them, WWE. Bray needs to wait main event act, treat him like it.

Let Kalisto have the ladder match, him, Breeze, Ryback, and a couple others and it'd be real nice.

The whole Ziggler/LoN thing was done in spite of Barrett it feels like. Didn't do Ziggler any favors though.

It was good, but it still warrants a 7/10.

 

[C.M. Shaddix]

7/10 that was a pretty good show

-great Ambrose promo
-looks like Zayn is on the main roster to stay
-great tag title match
-good Jericho heel turn
-Neville vs. Owens was good
-good opening promo
-No Roman or Stephanie!!

 

[Prince Bálor]

This week's show was good. As stated above, it was a huge improvement compared to last week's abysmal episode. 7/10

Positives:
- Shane-O Mac vs Vinnie Mac in the opening segment. I enjoyed Shane's quasi-shoot promo about the current state of the WWE, but it's also weird, 'cause they rarely do anything about it.

- KO vs Neville was good.

- Marked for Sami Zayn. Olé Olé Olé! : I wanted KO vs AJ Styles at WM, but having KO vs Zayn is equally excellent!

- The New Day vs Y2AJ was darn good and MOTN, I enjoyed it.

- I loved Y2J turning heel and I'm so glad the whole Y2AJ thing is over. So, Y2J vs AJ IV at Mania? Or perhaps they'll end up being in the US title ladder match. I guess we'll see.

- Ambrose vs Wyatt was decent.

- This was nice:

as well as Ambrose hitting Dirty Deeds on HHH to end the show.

Negatives:
- Summer vs Brie. Best thing about this was Lana coming out post-match.

- The League of Nations vs DZ. Meh.

- Sasha & Becky vs Naomi & Tamina.

- Goldust/R-Truth segment. That crap reeked of Vince and it was just painful to watch.

- Kalisto vs Breeze.

- Ryback vs Axel.

Just finished watching and giving it a 6/10 cause I'm still pissed about last week's shitshow. Was it an improvement? Absolutely but fuck me if they could have done any worse.

Opening segment was great and listening to Shane and some of the things he mentioned (the talent for example) almost felt like our voice was being heard through him...

Tag Team Championship was by far the match of the night. As for Y2J turning? Well, we all knew it was coming given his hisory and character so apparently no surprise there and I guess this means these guys will go at it again at Mania once more. The possitive thing about it? Of course AJ going solo again cause as I mentioned recently (and I'm sure most agree) this tag team thing felt like a waste of time and talent.

Elsewhere:

- What do you know, we still have a U.S. Champion...

- Welcome Sami Zayn !!!

- Loved the staredown between Bray and Triple H; WWE should take notice of the crowd reaction those couple of minutes...

- Lana looking damn hot....

- KO vs Neville the next best match of the night and I continue to wonder what Neville still has to do to get a decent push...

- No Roman...awwww...

Figure with this new opportunity, I should get back to catching actual Raw instead of highlights.

Shadow, Jacob Fox, you're right on the money. Thought this was a 9/10 show on Hulu. *obligatory plug*
It's weird though, usually when we say "Raw was good", it's because of one big blowaway segment. This was just lots of good stuff.
Saw the opening segment, Owens vs Neville, Zayn's debut, Ambrose's promo, Sasha and Becky's squash, New Day vs A2J, the promo, the heel turn, Ambrose vs Wyatt, the postmatch...
All good

 

[Rogue]

Should've had something between Ryback and Axel, like had them do one long stare at each other. To remember just how much they used to be best friends. Then Ryback holds out his arms to embrace the Axe-Man(YEE), and then just clocks him when he's going in for the hug.

 

[Snowman1]

^YES. Haha

Wish they'd bring up the history between Dean and Bray too. Match would have felt much bigger if we remembered that was the one feud Bray won... Then again reminding us of exploding TVs and crushed trachea no-sells and smoke-filled ambulances and teleporting ghost lanterns was probably a worse idea, never mind :dawg:

It wasn't much, but Bray did mention at the start of his promo that their fates seemed "forever intertwined"... Sounded like a reference to their past three rivalries to me (Shield vs Wyatts in early '14, Dean vs Bray in late '14/early '15, Roman and Dean versus the reunited Wyatt Family mid/late last year.)

:damn: you already watched? You missed out on an Aids Rain LD day.

Call me Willy Wonka and give me a golden ticket. Give me a heads up about this.

 

[Aids Johnson]

Call me Willy Wonka and give me a golden ticket. Give me a heads up about this.

I expected another shit show, how do I give you a heads up when we don't even know if it's worth watching?


I wiped my ass with your golden ticket, but you can have it back. I'll watch alone. Also is @Testify dead?

 

[Neptune]

I didn't watch... 10/10

But seriously, from what it sounds like it did improve but not enough for me to watch again. Wrestlemania should be good though. I might tune in to Roadblock for my LOL Ambrose WINS LOL hope.
