Who is Raw's weakest link?

[Solid Snake]

In terms not including jobbers (or wrasslers who are not on every week), who would you consider to be the weak link of the show - and why? I feel like there may be a few people may direct this to so if you do have more than one, feel free to name a couple.

I mean my obvious answer is Roman and it isn't because he sucks but how they are using him. They need to pick a path and stick to it or this dude will never get over the way Vince desperately wants him to. I feel like he is a good wrestler but because of how he is being used, he is just coming off as annoying!

Yeah Roman is definitely one. Other than him, In a booking sense, I'd say Rusev. Not because Rusev is weak by any means but the dude should be going for the Universal title not being fed to Cass imo. Sure they are building Cass up but they shouldn't wreck on of the best prospects they have in the process.

Nia Jax - This would be my pick for THE weakest link. The less time she spends in the ring, the longer someone's career might be. She really is too green and again, that's not necessarily her fault. I don't really think she's got the promo skills to back up that 'Angry Giant' character either. She sounds too normal if that makes sense.

The entire Cruiserweight division

Roman is honestly more interesting than all the Cruiserweights combined

I'm flabbergasted the division hasn't got over considering they've been working 5-6 minute matches on a weekly basis.

Also, they don't really wrestle CW-style matches, their matches come off as typical RAW matches, which isn't always a bad thing, but still, they don't differ much.

Stephanie

I agree. She's absolutely obnoxious.

Mick Foley isn't too much better tbh.

 

[Prince Bálor]

Mick Foley isn't too much better tbh.

He's at least bearable, he knows when to shut up and doesn't shit on everyone.

 

[Jacob Fox]

Penn Jillette, he adds nothing to the show

 

[Solid Snake]

Mick Foley isn't too much better tbh.

The only thing different is that Vince can make Mick look weak and he won't notice.
Stephanie gets made to look weak and we get charity event after charity event shoved in our faces to prove she's a "good person". :facepalm2:

Before she's a heel in the next segment

I bet the cruiserweights wont make it to 2018, they'll be off television. They might have 205 stick around since it's basically just the Pre show that's filmed before Smackdown goes live.

Let's see...

Roman Reigns: It is more the fact he is being used in a main event angle that grew tired at Roadblock, he has only been defending his title he recently loss against Rusev, KO, and Chris Jericho. He can work, just not in his role. He was fine when he was with Rusev, not always in the main event and was a flavour of Raw, without being the main course.

Stephanie Meekmahan: She's been in the Authority role pretty much since 2013 and I think it is time to let her go off TV for a while...

The Cruiserweights overall have not had time to develop character or have the proper time on Raw to showcase themselves in the ring.

Proper time to show themselves in the ring? Everytime I look it's another god damn cruiserweight segment!

But I agree they haven't had time to develop their characters. WWE brought too many guys in at once. They should of only brought 2 maybe 3 new guys and then used the current cruiserweights (Neville, Kalisto, Woods, Enzo, etc) to build up the division and then slowly debut new guys 1 at a time.

From the look of it Jack Gallagher isn't doing too badly for himself. Character-wise

Okay...

Mick Foley annoys the hell out of me. He seems to struggle with simple words
and show locations every week, he's dressed like a hobo and he's getting too
much screen time.

Look...I respect Mick Foley for everything he's ever done for wrestling...but he
is ruining his legacy and taking TV time away from the younger guys who truly
need it.

The booking on RAW is just so bad...let me give a few examples:

So the New Day broke the tag team title reign record...that's great...but that
record reign came at the expense of the entire RAW tag team division.

Every other team was made to look like a joke to the point that they had to
make a new tag team so the New Day could actually drop the belts to a
"legitimate" threat.

*Rant Mode Activated*

The Women's Division has hit a wall because Charlotte is still on top,
Sasha now looks like she can't defend a title or win at a pay per view
(Seriously including NXT...how many times has she won a title match on
PPV?), Bayley is struggling on the main roster, Alicia Fox is being treated
as an object by the Cruiserweights, Dana Brooke and Nia Jax are greener
than turtle shit, Summer Rae is still injured, Paige has clearly lost her fucking
mind...and Emmalina...STILL CAN'T EVEN GET ON THE FUCKING SHOW!!!

AAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!

Rusev is being wasted...The Cruiserweights have been a disaster and a
gigantic missed opportunity as far as a possible interesting Invasion angle...
And we have the same 4 guys at the top of the card every week...with Owens
booked as the weakest champion in the company, Jericho and his f*cking
piece of paper, a directionless Seth Rollins and the shockingly boring Roman
Reigns...and while this demented loop keeps repeating Braun Strowman
wanders around, grunting and beating people up.

The weakest link on RAW is the pathetic booking that is making everyone
(apart from my Bae Charlotte) look like a weak link.

I'm Done...God...I need to lay down for a few minutes...
