Goldberg v. Heyman opens.
Other things will happen.
I can't imagine that the Bears game is going to pull thread viewership away. What do I know though.

It's like Paul is talking in slow motion. I legit haven't been entertained by a Heyman promo in months. It's the same shit. BRRRROOOCCCKKKK LESNAR/THE BEAST/SUPLEX CITY, ok Paul, we get it.
RuRu out to presumably eat a spear from Goldy. Crowd chanting for Lana, who will presumably eat a spear later.

Corey Graves is dressed as David S. Pumpkins (Tom Hanks' character on the last SNL, fucking hilarious). Byron is wearing jammies & dressed like a 4 year old, which is on par with his lingo & character.
Enzo vs Gallows in a......ugh....Trick Or Street Fight is next. |

Graves just took a shot at the Cubs. Enzo swung a kendo stick & he said the Cubs need to call up Enzo to help them in their next game.
YOU FUCK YOURSELF GRAVES!!!

Gallows head was too big to fit the pumpkin on, so he just held it on his head. Enzo missed the DDT off the top, but Gallows still sold it.
There's been 87 Halloween references shoe-horned into the last 30 seconds, many of which, haven't made sense.(Cole said Enzo kicked Gallows with a low pumpkin. The fuck?)
If the Bears were the least bit good, I'd watch them over this horseshit, but the Bears are atrocious, just like this show.

TJP vs Kendrick for the CW title up next.
No one cares, because it's a dumb feud & TJP looked like a moron last night losing the title.

If they devoted any time to developing the guys characters in the CW division, I'd be fine with it. Instead it's just expected of the WWE audience to know who all these guys are based off a 20 second video package.
I'm a fan of all these guys in this division because I was familiar with their work prior to the WWE. Fans who live in the WWE bubble, have no idea how to react, they're just flippy kids.
1 singles match & 1 tag match each week = ZERO character development
I'll always watch their matches on RAW, but it's infuriating, because Vince doesn't give a shit about them because they're small.

I was wondering what I was missing (sorry, da Boo and da Bear took over) ... I gather the answer is "nothing".

Strowman just won a battle royal eliminating nearly everyone. Sami Zayn was the last guy he eliminated.
RAW's team is now Owens, Jericho, Reigns & Strowman. Graphic said Strowman was the final member, but I think it's 5 on 5. At least it better be & Rollins would be the last guy.
Jericho/Reigns later tonight for the US Title. Crowd booed Reigns like crazy & Mick said "my wife likes you".
EVERYONE SHUT UP, A NEW EMMALINA BIKINI VIDEO IS ON!!!

"Bayley's a huge fan of Subway, she loves all the sandwiches." that was a line uttered by Michael Cole.
Kofi dressed as Godfather, Woods as Papa Shango & Big E as Kama Mustafa. The only good thing on this show so far (minus KO/Jericho and Emmalina's video).

It was a good little 6 man tag too. But again, crowd really hasn't been given a reason to care.
I'm happy I get to see guys like Swann, Gulak, Cedric, Nese on TV, just wish there was a storyline behind it instead of just sending out 6 guys to do flips.
Oh great, a Charlotte talking segment, this night is just getting better......
I know I'm coming off as extra bitchy tonight, but this show is the shits. I'm actually in a good mood, I had candy earlier, haha.

I turn it back on for this?
Is Nitro still on 'til 10?

No, it's on until 10:14, remember the overrun. Still think there's a Super Calo vs Disco Inferno match, then it's Scott Hall vs Lex Luger in the main, which will no doubt end in a DQ.
Apparently Charlotte is a match maker now? Nia, who hasn't been on TV in a month, is beating up Bayley.
Man, does Nia's selling suck.

Opening segment was fantastic. Goldberg looks terrific. The winter jacket is a little much but otherwise seems fine.
Heyman coming out and limiting Goldberg's promo was another win. I love the aura of Goldberg but have never been into his promos. Other than when he came back a couple weeks ago. That promo was terrific.
Now THIS promo/atmosphere is perfect for what the E wants. Still can't believe they tried that shit in Minnesota but this makes up for it.
Young Buck Rusev is the best.
Possible little botch on the first jackhammer attempt but I'm good with it. Two brutes like Goldberg and Rusev shouldn't have perfect looking sequences anyways.
Fun segment. (And some of Heyman's facial expressions in the background were great)
10/10 (even the crowd was great)

Kendrick/Perkins
Kendrick on the mic is great for the division. Also great for TJP. I already care more about TJP than I ever did before.
Insane move by TJP. Doubt he was supposed to land the way he did. Love the veteran heel move by Kendrick to get himself disqualified. Also enjoyed TJP snapping after the match.
Thought the whole thing was perfect except for Perkins nearly dying.
9/10

Jericho/KO/Foley/Reigns
Foley's promos have been exceptional lately. I think serious Foley is far more entertaining than goofy concussed Foley.
The only knock on the segment is that Roman is clearly several notches below these guys on the stick but he's in there with 3 legendary talkers so there's that.
9/10

Battle Royal
Was watching from a distance at first and I thought Darren Young was Otunga and Bo Dallas was Rhyno. Could not for the life of me figure out why those two were on Raw. Other than that, fun little battle royal. Accomplished several things really. Neville looked ok. Zayn stayed strong. Sheamus/Cesaro were unaffected by the loss. Most importantly, Strowman has been magnificently booked since the brand split. I hope he doesn't end up killing somebody but I have seriously enjoyed his character build the last couple/few months.
10/10

Cruiser 6 Man
Still can't believe the shape that Cedric Alexander is in compared to when I last saw him on ROH. He's been terrific. Swann does some great things in the ring but I generally dislike everything else about him. Nese is my guy.
Pretty sure Gulak did nothing to break Alexander's dive outside. Looked like he landed ok despite that.
I don't know. It was fine. Had a few spots.
6/10

I have more thoughts on this once I wake up a bit but from what I saw up to the point that I laid down, Raw was outstanding last night.
