WWE Monday Night Raw Preview + Live Discussion: March 23, 2015

Really? Because now that I've caught up on what's been going on I think it looks like one of the worst.

Basically what we're looking forward to here is Reigns beating Lesnar when he's not really ready, Sting/HHH in a battle of who can walk to the ring slowest, some of the best workers in the company being wasted in a fucking ladder match for a belt the company gives zero fucks about (and no, I don't buy that they're suddenly going to start after 'Mania), a battle royale that did SO much for the winner last year that entering it could be akin to career suicide, obligatory Diva's match that nobody cares about, Cena humbling Rusev and some bizarre Wyatt/Undertaker match that benefits nobody. I skipped Orton/Rollins because I assume that'll actually be a good match.

Yeah, seems like the best show in years to me. Christ, at this point it'll be lucky to be better than WM 15. On the bright side, its got massive clusterfuck potential, so there's always that I guess.


Anticlimactic? Reigns and Lesnar were playing tug of war with the title like little girls. Can't wait to see that in the video package. I mean, just look at this....

and tell me how we're possibly supposed to be taking any of Lesnar/Reigns seriously at this point?

And the award for most pessimistic person of all time goes to Anaconda Vice. If you actually think that triple h and sting won't put on a good match, idk what to tell you.

Hate to tell you but babyfaces have been humbling heels for the past 50 years of wrestling that's the way it works.

The ladder match isn't wasting talent, it's to showcase their awesome ability to adapt and out in a show

Wyatt/Undertaker is a bizarre match. Either you haven't been watching the buildup or you just like to complain

This divas match people do care about this year more than other years

I'm not arguing about Reigns again

The battle royal i kind of agree with

I didn't say it wouldn't be good, but it'll take up a lot of time and that's something I don't look forward to.

Thanks for the history lesson, remember I've been watching since before you were born. My point is that Cena doesn't need to beat Rusev but he will anyways, and what good does that do Rusev? None.

Ladder matches are the worst and the talent would be better served with something, you know, important to do on the card.

Wyatt/Undertaker is a bizarre match. Either you haven't been watching the buildup or you just like to complain

Who benefits from winning this match? The Undertaker doesn't need to defeat anyone and Wyatt will be beating a guy who's already lost all his mystique, hasn't shown up at all and will be gone the day after 'Mania. Yeah, it's bizarre alright, I'll give you that.

Who?

Typical condescending post from a WWE apologist though, obviously they can do no wrong in your eyes. If this 'Mania is "the best one in years", I'll do you a favour and disappear from this site forever. It'll probably make you and others happy since I'm obviously SO pessimistic that I shouldn't even be allowed to post. :

I never said it'd be the best one in years. I just think it's a solid card and it'll be a solid show.

The Reigns and Lesnar tug o war was silly. I would have preferred Reigns talking to Lesnar about how he is going to kick his ass all over San Jose to get the WWE Title.

Sting is so loaded with charisma. I was telling a friend that it is such a double edged sword. He is fantastic at the silent avenger gimmick, but when you let him talk, he just oozes charisma. Which do you pick?

AJ and Paige butting heads is odd. With a tag team match to market, I would like WWE showing them to be as united as ever to take down the Bella Twins.

I like the Rusev and Cena segment, but I fear it calls for Rusev to lose. I know it is necessary for him to lose sometime and it may be good for the U.S. Title. I just hope Rusev's momentum doesn't get killed. Kid improves by the week.

Axel is fun!
