Man for real Rusev should run through all these guys until angle can come back. Just imagining Angles song hitting and inturripting a Rusev Lana promo brought chills up and down my spine. Much more so than anything on raw tonigt. Hulk Hogan is gonna return as Mr.America and take rusev out.BOOM

Ive come to the conclusion that whenever I sleep through Raw, I tend to make the right decision since the show is an absolute clusterfu*k
Soooo many things wrong about tonights Raw looking back at the results.
- Why oh why are you going to give away Reigns vs. Rollins on free TV after it is nothing short of a 2nd Main Event on a PPV after the Shield split. It makes absolutely no sense to have Reigns to go over either if you're going to have the rematch Sunday. Why not have Rollins use a cheap heel win and give people something to look forward to on Sunday such as Roman's redemption on Rollins. You could promote 9.99 all you want but if you give away the matches you have advertised on PPV for Raw the very week before, then why are people going to order the network?
- Your WWE Champion (who is a part time talent at that) is not the last thing viewers see as Raw goes off the air. The idea that Heyman might have to fight Cena if Brock couldnt make it to Raw on time is 100000000 times better than that crap promo between Lana and Mark Henry. Whoever scripted Rusev/Henry to end Raw should be fired immediately. Rusev and his gimmick is about as boring as it gets, and bringing up the fact that Henry was in the 1992 olympic games just reminds all of us how ancient Mark really is. When your WWE Champion is Brock Lesnar and he's available to be on TV, im using him as much as I can to get my money's worth and he's ending the show. Period.
I could continue on things like giving away Swagger vs. Dallas as well which could easily have been a PPV match after a month long feud, same with Cameron and Naomi but its not worth the effort.
The only things I did think WWE did right tonight was having Cena look strong over Lesnar, making it seem like he does a fighting chance at NOC. Instead of burying your other talents like the entire Wyatt Family, which imo did nothing for Cena because I'd still take Brock in a fight against all 3 Wyatts, Lesnar is that strong as a character right now.
Also I am curious to see what happens with Christian returning on the pre-show at the PPV. Will he return as face or heel? Because he's doing the peep show with Jericho, I wonder if he'll return face so he can feud with Orton after Jericho goes back on hiatus. It wouldn't be too hard to have Orton tie into the peep show segment since Jericho is already on it.
Anyways I'm glad I slept through Raw because it was an episode that didn't deserve my attention.

Next week Gotham starts and Big Bang Theory moves to Mondays. I think I've seen my last 8-9 hour of Raw for a while.

I dont know why but part of me wanted to hear Lana rag out the 96 Olympics and the Olympians and then hear this interrupt and start blasting..... Talk about one of the biggest pops in history. Legit. That dead Louisiana crowd would've went absolutely ape$hit.

Seems like I wouldnt be missing much of anything if I miss the first hour of Raw.

Second week in a row where I switched to MNF around 8:30 and flipped back to Raw during commercial breaks to see very little of interest. And did they really just close the show with Mark Henry/Rusev segment? What the hell were they smoking and where do I get some?

Fast forwarded through raw. Nothing looked interesting at all. Why did they give away Rollins vs Reigns on free tv, when they're having a match Sunday? So stupid.

Wow, I almost forgot Christian was still with WWE. His injury must be real bad to be out this long. Dirtsheets say that he's been cleared for a long while but WWE labeled him "too injury prone" to do anything with. Well, I really don't blame them for thinking he's too injury prone, cause he really is. If you think at all the wrestlers who have gotten injured since 2010, next to Rey Mysterio, Christian's been the most injury prone. That's a sign that he, Mysterio should retire. I don't blame WWE for saying, "Look, we like Christian, but he's too injury prone to give him a push". I wouldn't blame it on others injuring him, it's more that he's gotten injured way too much these past 3-4 years. I like Christian, I wanna see him wrestle, but at the same time, all I see him doing is mid card/upper card matches.

So glad I DVR'd RAW and re-watched Manhattan Mayhem from 2011, instead.
Knocked out RAW in 30 minutes. Nothing grabbed my attention and everyone has already stated my thoughts. Think I'm gonna continue re-watching ROH/PWG shows on Monday nights and DVR RAW.

Yeah I have no argument here other than the fact that the quality of the show is dull. This is starting to feel more like a chore to watch every week. I'm optimistic about it getting better, but for right now it's just bad.

That right there is a Kamala-style pin. Obviously she is a big fan of old school professional wrestling and that was her "homage" or as you kids call it these days a "shout out."

Wait, did they actually go with the Reigns/Rollins match? Was there any bull crap involved?

Wait, did they actually go with the Reigns/Rollins match? Was there any bull crap involved? Yes, WWE stupidly had Reigns and Rollins have a one on one match six days before their NOC PPV match this Sunday. I could have sworn that it would in DQ, count out, or some other shadiness, but nope Reigns won clean in a pretty good match imo. I just don't understand. Rollins now imo needs to redeem himself this Sunday or he looks weak but then again I don't see WWE letting Reigns lose either so are they going to do a DQ match result for the PPV when they just had a clean ending on Raw six days prior? My God that part of the match (and the match in general) was ing horrid! I feel so bad for Naomi.. She really should not get mad at Cameron for wanting to get more training in NXT. Like the talent guy said, if she goes to NXT she may never come back to the main roster lol. Let her go Naomi, she can only hold you back..

Well, hopefully at Night of Champions, we get the finish that I wanted on RAW, which is Orton and Kane beat up Reigns, causing a DQ and Reigns gets beat down. Now on RAW, I wanted Reigns to stay beat down. At the PPV however, I would like for Ambrose to return to help Reigns and maybe we'll get a 3 on 2 Handicap match at Hell in a Cell, maybe even inside of the Hell in a Cell, giving Lesnar a break from that PPV and still have a Hell in a Cell match.

Well that RAW didn't convince me to renew the WWE Network, which I assume is their main goal. Not happening yet. I couldn't possibly care less about this PPV.
I'm not normally one to complain a lot, but man, these last several RAWs have just been dreadful. Giving away Rolins/Reigns on TV and with a clean ending? Huh?
Wait, Mark Henry and Rusev are closing on a go home show? Say what? The crowd was mostly dead anyway, but they obviously weren't even remotely interested in patriotic Mark Henry and neither was I. And I even kind of like Mark Henry.
Swagger with a submission win over Dallas? Why?
This is the kind of stuff WCW was doing. I'll just stick to football Sunday night.
