Y'all either got super high expectations for no reason or it's true what i've said all along, wrestling fans are some negative ass people. I was thoroughly entertained with this weeks RAW and ill post a more detailed review soon. but shit, no way in hell it deserves any less than a 6/10 from my eyes. Came here to look at everyone elses reviews before I really made mine and it just blew me away to see such negativity. Compared to when I stopped watching in late 2014, this shit is pretty damn great to me, has been all year. Maybe i'm the crazy one but I just think everyones expectations are a bit too high. My thoughts on the episode comin soon.

My opinion on this show has nothing to do with having super high expectations or being a "negative ass" person. It comes from me not liking this episode of Raw. There is plenty of wrestling I absolutely love and I rarely have high expectations for Raw in any way. I, in fact, generally have pretty low expectations for it.

People have different opinions as to what entertains them and that is all this is. I am pretty sure that there will be episodes of Raw that I like and that you wouldn't, but I wouldn't make unfair presumptions as to why that may be.

Holy cow, such differing opinions between alexb and DK James.

One absolutely hated it, and the other absolutely enjoyed it. Just puts it into perspective that everyone likes something different. I, however, am going to have to side with DK here. Alex, sorry, but ya sounded like a spoiled kid with that rant. Sorry dude. That's just how it came off.

Anywho, 2 weeks til mitb and just over a month until live smackdown.
To me personally, things are looking decent right now. And I think there may be a last minute replacement in the ladder match.

Ok buddy, I wasn't trying to offend you or anyone else lmao i've just noticed over time that wrestling fans are the most negative and whiny community ive ever seen. Never happy 100%, there's always something to complain about. I dont see any possible way that this RAW was a "bad RAW", and i definitely don't see how it could be as bad as a 3/10. Especially if you claim to have low expectations.

To each his own, sure, i wasn't saying anyones opinions were wrong. Just an observation ive developed over time that a lot of the time a majority of the community is over critical of every little thing and i thought for once id state what ive noticed. Take it how you want haha dont bother me.

It's fine, I'm not offended, I am just explaining that it is an unfair generalization.

It's quite simple. It was a bad Raw in my view because I didn't find it entertaining. I'm happy you did, but not everyone is entertained by the same things.

I think a lot of this has to do with there being more than 90 minites of non-wrestling on the show.

Often I feel like the most negative among us need to take a break - hi - or really think about what they do want from a wrestling show. Like my #1 thing is "Have what's on the show have some sort of storyline purpose"... You can't do much better than those really good Seth and Roman video packages. On the other, MITB buildup month is always rough since these filler matches between MITB participants drag it down from that standpoint. Most people really seem to simply want something exciting, which seems like AJ's promo and Cesaro vs Jericho both delivered.

But also: Look at how few DQ's we are getting in big matches

My thoughts exactly. Nothing is ever good enough for most people.

Sure from time to time I may not be the most happy with some things that are done, but overall I can enjoy the show. I wish most other people could see it in the same light rather than critique the entire show every week.

 

[Schmitlab]

There's absolutely nothing wrong with critiquing the show every week. That's basically what these threads are for. Some Raws are really good, some mediocre and some are just plain bad. This one TO ME was mediocre. That's my personal opinion because, to me it wasn't as enjoyable as other episodes. Also nothing is ever good enough because most people have differing opinions on what they like compared to you. Difference of opinion happens. Wishing everyone saw it in the same light as you is (i'm sorry) ridiculously silly, naive and nigh impossible.

 

[Gman003]

@Shmitlab I just mean why can't everyone take the positives to them rather than everything negative? I didn't mean everyone should like all the same stuff I do lol.

 

[Gman003]

Also, since this is about last night's raw, did cena say 'Bullet club' or 'Pull it club'? I saw a meme about it which said bullet club... but alot of people were correcting saying they heard pull it club.

Just would like to see everyone else's opinion on that. I heard bullet at the time, but I could totally see it being pull it club

Just went back and watched the Cena/Styles segment again and indeed, John Cena did say "pull it club" after all....

 

[Gman003]

Nice lol I had recorded raw on pvr but deleted when I finished so I couldn't go back to find out. Thanks.

That doesn't seem too pg.... lol

 

[Roadster]

It's just really fucking Blue that Primo and Epico haven't been on TV since their debut. What a joke.

 

[Gman003]

They've had a couple "commercial" type bits haven't they?

 

[Schmitlab]

I don't even care about those 2 anymore they've had what...3 gimmicks now? And still no one cares about them
