6/10 meh episode with some good matches. The build to SummerSlam has been awful

 

[Jacob Fox]

Just more of the same old, same old. I agree with Base about the build. Raw is really at a really low point right now.

I thought this episode was fine. Wasn't expecting it to be any good and I can't think anything that was that bad.

Heymans interiew was good.

Roman Reigns seems to over with the crowd. When you watch Raws like this it makes you wonder where all the Roman haters have gone

Corbin got some good heat

The Kevin Owens and Strowman fued has a good story with Kevin targeting Strowman Strowman's weakness.

Ronda Rousey looked like a badass in her match on Raw.

The raw tag division actually did something new this week for a change. Feels like they have done the same matches and segments each week for the past two months.

No bad booking just nothing big happend. This show was just boring because it is three hours long. 5/10 would of been higher if it was 2 hours.

You have to remember they turn down the crowd mics and pipe in cheers. Because in the arena the Boo's are extremely loud when he is around. They also edit and put video clips of people clapping & cheering in the crowd during his entrance and after he wins.
So the real crowd is still there they're just hiding them as much as they can.

That could be very true. But you would think you would get a few boos in a live broadcast

Wow...so Ronda actually wrestled on RAW?

I mean it was only against Alicia Fox...but still...

How did she go? Nobody interfered this time right?

Its good to hear Ruby Riott is back...

I really, REALLY hate the way the WWE books
their MitB winners...is it traditional to have them
lose every match while they have the briefcase?
because if so...that is fucking stupid.

Ambrose & Bliss had the right idea...just cash
that $hit in on the same night before the company
starts bookig you like a blueberry.

^Alexa tried to get involved but failed. She got wasted by Ronda after the match.

They are just having Braun lose in count out and DQ victories to show that he can lose the briefcase in those ways at SummerSlam. It's like when jobbers suddenly end up getting into mass brawls that involves people going over the top rope in the weeks leading up to the Royal Rumble - it gives an excuse for Cole to patronisingly tell us "And if this was Sunday night ladies and gentleman Curt Hawkins would be eliminated from the Royal Rumble match! Remember - you go over the top rope with both feet hitting the floor and you are eliminated."

Speaking of Ambrose, we should be seeing him very soon. I'm hyped.

Kinda makes sense if WWE was a real sport. If you were a fighter with a holding opportunity to defeat the world champion, you wouldn't give a fuck about any other match as much. So naturally you wouldn't be as motivated to win as there is less of an incentive.

Sounds fun...I may have to check that out...

*Thinks*

Nah...

Its still fucking annoying...

No it doesn't...its bullshit.

 

[Redboy123@]

No it doesn't...its bullshit.

Well i'm just looking at it if WWE was a real sport. I gaurantee If a sportsman/sports team has a opportunity at a world championship, they would not gice a shit about the other matches. This is because the other matches are not as im-ortant and they have the false sense of security because the Money In The Bank gives them a safety net. You can't expect something not be bullshit. The MITB breifcase is a bullshit concept. So don't expect it not to be bullshit.

 

[Grievous 3D]

Well i'm just looking at it if WWE was a real sport.

But it isn't...

And the booking of MitB winners as losers make
them appear as weak Champions even when they
do cash in...see Carmella for a recent example of
this.

That's why it's a bullshit concept

 

[Grievous 3D]

That's why it's a bullshit concept

So...we agree that its all bullshit?

Fine.
