WWE RAW 18th October 2011 - LIVE Discussion

[Troy]

Wow this show went by fast and not in a good way, main event already?

I checked the time before and it shocked me as well. Normally a fast show means it was a great show but it was a bad show.

Josh Matthews is on commentary now I like that he is being used more often.

 

[Troy]

I'm in love with Vengeance match banners they're so awesome

They are some of the better ones in recent months. By the way I double checked and Rhodes vs. Orton isn't for the title.

 

[Troy]

Judging by the amount of activity here I think that WWE are in for a rude shock tomorrow when the ratings come out.

My prediction is 2.9

 

[Troy]

Let's see if we can at least get it to 200 posts for the thread and then after that I will post more threads in the other sections to try to make up the 200 other posts we didn't get.

They have run a couple of promos for Smackdown during RAW tonight, really pushing Smackdown as an equal brand. It was 2.26 last week and hopefully this week it can be 2.3 or more.

Yeah I didn't care for Matthews at first but he is growing on me.

 

[Troy]

Much better reaction than I expected for Cena.

Read the spoilers and SD looks pretty good this week so that is possible. Also expect this Raw to be below 3.0 even though unlike last week their is no baseball and the Monday Night Football game has a winless team in it.

It helped when he became more serious and stopped trying to be over the top. I still wish that he and Striker were commentating together.

Rating should be crap for RAW it was spoiled JR was back and such so... never know

The spoilers do look good for Smackdown so hopefully it translates into a good rating. RAW might get lucky then because there is less competition on the night, I kind of hope it drops a lot so that WWE take notice and realise that fans don't want to see shows like this.

This match is gon' be a slobberknocker!

 

[Troy]

Cole and JR start the match. JR throws a really big slap to Cole.

 

[Troy]

This crowd is awesome. They are out of their seats and are jumping up and down to see John Cena wrestle Del Rio.

 

[Andrew]

I see Del Rio signs in the crowd.
