^Awesome
Someone needs to add Jim Ross Commentary to
@Prince Bálor turning on Raw. NO GOD DON'T DO IT. DON'T DO IT. THINK OF YOUR FAMILY!
That was a great promo. Interesting we don't get stuff like this on Raw, but we got that main event deal there lol.
I actually watched the show because I'm on vacation and I have NOTHING else to do. Granted I only paid half attention as I was chatting with people, but anywho:
No Authority! Not seeing Steph would usually be a negative, but not having her and HHH ramble on for half an hour was refreshing (even if we got others doing the same).
I like Rhyno.
Opening segment/match was... different? As mentioned, the roster isn't deep enough to do 16 man tags on the OPENER, and I'm really not sure why they did it on the opener when the main event was what it was. I loved how Tommy Dreamer pinned somebody in 2015, especially with the "Dreamer Driver", as Cole called it.
Sheamus' backstage interview was OK
Titus/Stardust was definitely something that happened, not sure how it began or what it's leading to, but I guess it was fine. I laughed when Titus said Cody needed to get some.
Ziggler and Owens had a long, fun match with a clean finish (iirc)! Buys. Also, Dean making KO look like a bitch in the end was good.
BAD vs Bellas was... eh. Are the Bellas babyfaces? That's odd. Also, no Nikki, no buys. Anywho, New Day celebration with Sasha twerking made the whole show worthwhile, tbh.
New Day cut a good promo, these dudes are amazing. They lost the match via distraction finish, but, you know... it's one of those things that come along when you have 141 2/3 hours of TV weekly. People are gonna pin people.
Reigns' promo was there. Instead of a badass he's Cena. No need to beat a dead horse, so I won't comment
Miz TV was buys. Charlotte is MUCH better as a heel on the stick, seeing Paige is always fun, this apparent double turn deal they have is good. Hopefully Flair stays around as Charlotte's manager, especially if he starts going insane.
They actually got a few signs so you REALLY understand what a goof you are for buying PPV instead of the Network. I laughed.
Love how the setup for Ryback/Rusev having issues was the HEEL forfeiting a match to help his injured woman. Has anyone else noticed how Rusev is the biggest unintentional babyface on the show? He's a great man. Sadly he cut no promos here though.
Zeb no selling Swagger was ace. Breaking up ADR and Zeb was great, and Zeb no selling ADR was even acer. Zeb should just no sell people and drive away on his scooter, that's money.
Technically the main event of Raw was TOMMY DREAMER VS BRAUN STROWMAN. This is a world I want to live in.
The main event was really the only part that kinda bummed me out. I mean, that is the perfect summary of everything wrong with WWE these days. I won't give it minus five stars solely because somehow the crowd actually got into it (kinda), even though it was the lamest thing ever.
It's funny to see everybody either in two angles at the same time or appearing twice on the show. Granted half the roster is out, but it's still funny.
I think I officially stopped caring. Nothing on this show bummed me out, things were either legit good/funny, just there or so bad I laughed. I think I can start watching WWE again!
