RAW Roulette returning

[Troy]

The return of the Raw Roulette is being advertised to take place at the June 27 Monday Night Raw taping at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas, Nevada.

I had assumed that this would be used for one of the 3 hour shows but apparently not. I liked the gimmick when it was first introduced but the last RAW with this wasn't that entertaining.

Do you like the RAW Roulette shows?

 

[Lucky]

I'm like you, I liked the gimmick in the past but on the last one when they brought it back I really thought that show sucked. Who knows? It might be different now.

Either way, I'm looking forward to an ADR-Cena feud more than anything as the days tick off.

 

[Deezy]

Liked it when it was unpredictable, but the last one left a sour taste with me, too predictable and didn't get something new like a Diva cagematch like the first one. That probably was the biggest highlight for me during the first one.

 

[The New F'n Show]

Great concept but execution needs to be there. Like you all have said first one was great.

 

[Keith]

Believe the first one was nine years ago now, and was hosted by Easy E himself, I think Bishoff doing his slimey gameshow host/power hungry rotine added to it, but it was always going to be an novity gimmick with a short shelf life.

I love when the roulette starts to turn around and I feel some tension. I like that thos concept is coming back, because some matches can get really interesting because of that.

 

[Prodigy]

Has been okay but last year was too predictable. Hopefully this time they give us some new options and actually don't go for the obvious choices on the roulette!

 

[Troy]

If they could make it seem unpredictable and book matches like Ryder vs Cena in a cage match then it would be good. Booking the same feuds doesn't make it interesting and defeats the purpose. Hopefully there won't be many silly gimmick matches like a debate or an arm wrestling match.

 

[Lucky]

Come on now bro, you know someone like Santino will wind up in a dance off or something stupid like that.

 

[Troy]

And that is what kills the show. They have too many comedy writers who think that people want to see that.

 

[Deezy]

Well a show that takes itself seriously is no better. The comedy segments break up the monotony that can be a wrestling show.

This show could be fine, it could be terrible. All it takes is one segment to ruin it.

 

[Troy]

If it is a short five minute segment it can be fine but normally WWE drag these comedy segments out and give them fifteen minutes which is too long. I seem to remember there being an Idol style song contest on one of the recent RAW Roulettes and that was just horrible viewing.

 

[Deezy]

Most segments that go over 10 minutes that isn't a wrestling match should be off limits imo.

Unless it's The Rock or Austin talking down half the roster.
