Last week was the first time I've watched RAW in a while and it was pretty sweet so I'm about a 5-6/10 right now.

What's crazy is if they would just put Ziggler in a proper feud I would watch all 3 hours of Raw and probably grade it favorably afterward.

So much DB it's to the point where he needs to make a big move forward or i'm going to lose all interest together. The HBK part with the yes lock gave me some faith.
No DZ. Wait, he sells WWE.com now. I've seen more Ryder than DZ in the last 6 weeks.
Woo Woo Woo. I got to see Ryder, i dont care how it works out.
HHH is awesome, Big Show drew out the crying angle just long enough to make me mark for him doing anything else. I like how all that is going, and i'll even watch their match, granted it isnt as far away as RR or WM.

ADR lost to Cena on his 4 month early return, and then Cena beat Sandow. Some laughed and who knows how this goes.
Kane is back, Wyatt stuff is going to improve.
Everything Goldust is cool with me. Count me in.
The matches have been all around great, Real Americans have been impressive and going over the face teams. PTP have been due for something for what, 8 months now?
Heyman is gone now, I dont expect him back without Bork. This means less Ryback and Axel most likely drops his belt ASAP. Deal

8/10?

Also, Cena being WHC makes me interested in that title again, but not until ADR is through with being the challenger.
Cena is feuding with Sandow now as of Smackdown.

I'll vote when I can vote 10/10. I'm very interested in the product. My problem is that it's harder and harder to dedicate 6 hours a week to keeping up with Raw, Smackdown, and NXT. I'm not always in the mood to sit down for 3 hours on Monday and watch it, but that doesn't equate to a lack of interest. The product is very strong right now.

@taily96 will be hoping something big happens this week for Manchester next week :lol1:

Fuck that smurf.

Yeah, probably about a 5 tbh. I always find these things hard to analyse because I go through phases of caring about wrestling even if it's poorer, and this is probably one for me.

I'm looking forward to Kane suiting up and going all corporate. I don't particularly care for his devil shit and his ring work is pretty average, so a role that allows him to use his speaking skills and vocabulary without him having to wrestle as much suits me.

Now I think about it, a 5 was probably rather generous as all I care about apart from that is Wyatt/Punk/Bryan. I guess The Shield's potential split is also interesting, as well as Cena's title reign to an extent. But the main thing for me is that there's new angles, even if they are poor, at least it feels fresh. Some of the old angles were getting so tedious.

Some things are great, Langston Vs Ambrose, Cena as WHC, Bryan being on fire etc and some are shit Big Show, Corporation, HHH, Ziggler being wasted, Divas sucking again etc.

About an 8 as I always look forward to Raw but I get disappointed often.

I'm very interested. As been said by reports, WWE has hit the reset button. I'm curious to see where they go with all these newer feuds.

Sandow vs Cena will be great for Sandow and the world title, and they proved they can have a good match.

The tag division is great now. We get consistently good tag matches weekly now.

Wyatt Family are getting top tier spotlight against two of the top faces in the company in Punk and Bryan. It should be a great feud story wise and match wise.

Big E is getting Dat push.

The Shield are beginning their split angle, which will be good. I hope this leads to Reigns and Rollins going face and staying as a team or only one of them going face and winning the U.S title from Ambrose in a triple threat ladder match at TLC.

Big Show will do good as a fill in until they bring Bryan back into the title scene. I can see even see Show beating Orton for the strap.

Perhaps a 5/10 maybe? I'm not even sure really, but I thought last week's RAW was pretty good compared to what we've been getting beforehand. Some hate the Wyatt/Punk/Bryan stuff, but I'm looking forward to it, as I love love all the guys involved and I'm just glad we're done with the Orton/Bryan matches.

Last week's Raw was a phenomenal episode, and one that either jump started or furthered a few interesting angles that I'm looking forward to seeing continue tonight. Punk is finally done with Paul Heyman and the Orton/Bryan feud has reached it's end. And now, Punk and Bryan are about to become partners in a fresh feud against the Wyatt Family, who at long last finally have relevant opponents. Looking forward to this, especially if Wyatt brings up Punk's past with being a leader of a "family" of his own with the SES. Continuity and stuff.

I'm glad Kane removed his mask again and made himself "valuable" to the Authority. A nice twist considering I thought he was about to demand from Stephanie a rematch of sorts with Wyatt. This probably means Kane and Bryan will be at odds with each other at some point, which will be a feud that has history to play off of (like Kane trying to handcuff and set Bryan on fire as he teased doing with RVD, and Bryan thinking "Dude, you weren't like this at all when we were tag team partners.") I'm already sensing we're gonna see resemblance of the Kane/RVD feud from 2003. I can already picture Stephanie asking Kane at some point if he has any problems putting Daniel Bryan through pain for her, and his response being nothing but just maniacal laughter (that would mean his answer is "No", by the way.)

And the Big Show/Randy Orton/HHH stuff... I've had no problem with it from day one. And I'd be lying if I said I didn't mark out at the sight of Show coming down to the ring and charging through The Shield and knocking out Randy Orton.

They're also teasing The Shield split. It's about time, but I expect it to be a real slow burn all the way till the Rumble at the latest, which is fine with me. Still loving Cody Rhodes and Goldust as a team. Love that John Cena has the WHC. He is making the championship feel relevant again. And I wonder how the mini-feud with Sandow could play itself out (whether Damien cost him the championship at SS or not.) Sandow associating himself with Cena in any way can only be good for him.

IMO, there is plenty on the show at the moment to look forward to.

Really just depends on your levels of optimism... as you know with me it isn't very high.

I'm loving Bryan after last week, when he finally stopped his Cena-esque no-selling of being screwed and snapped on Shawn. An angry Bryan is what we need. Was excited about the Wyatts being part of this at first, but them being the henchmen to the Authority/Heyman/Some combination of the 2 kinda hurts their characters. Like them better on their own, but whatever they're doing stuff. Bryan and Punk are kind of in a holding pattern right now, but at least it's something new with some new talents so that's fine. Stunned by how much I'm interested in the Big Show thing. The storytelling is good, but of course it's either leading to Big Show/HHH or Big Show/Orton, either match being completely uninteresting for one reason or another. Despite Orton being "the chosen one" and having the belt, he doesn't feel like an important part of the angle. Triple H has all the heat right now, and I cannot care about a single word HHH is saying. It's "club business" all over again. Interested in the payoff to the whole thing, but that's obviously not coming on this week's Raw. It'll just be another HHH promo which has become a detriment to the show. To also file under "not caring": Kane. For a positive: Ryback...crosses fingers...has been written off the show. Even they realize that he's past the point of no return, right? Right? But as many of us have said there's really nothing going on apart from this angle. They have 6 hours of TV a week, and even when watching 1:30 of it it still feels like there just isn't enough interesting things going on on the show. Maybe there's the Shield breakup, but of all the things on this show that needs a shakeup the Shield is at the bottom of the list. Shield vs the Usos at Survivor Series could be fun, but know that on Raw it's not going to be well built. If they go in that direction then the Rhodes family will probably be stuck with the Wyatts, which is fine, but that way all the babyfaces I'm interested in are all stuck in this match. The Divas will still be in some random tag match that lasts 2 minutes. Then there's the whole Cena thing, which just isn't for us. Using this to elevate Sandow would be cool... but you can call me skeptical about whether or not that'll happen.

3/10 on it's own merits. Lower if you factor in Packers/Bears.

It's a 6 for me. I have no urgency to watch the show like I used to. I dont like what they're doing with their midcard titles and the fluxuation of talent. However on the other hand there have been some interesting things like The Rhodes family and authority storylines, but that's like really the only things to look forward to on Raw. I just wish they had more storylines for matches. We see about 3 random matches per Raw and it's kinda monotonous after a while.
