Raw is in Glasgow tonight. It happened already.
I won't spoil too much, but.....
-we find out who the 5th man is on the main 5 on 5 elimination match (shouldn't be a surprise)
-we find out who Ziggler wrestles at the PPV (which I'm more than fine with, but it is weird it's for a SD title, but whatever)
-we also have the crowd hijack a segment with chants -we get a new CW competitor we haven't seen on RAW before
Other crap happens, but let's face it, whoever wins this week will lose next week anyways. 50/50 booking BAYBAY!

It's my burden to bear, but somehow or another, taped Raw's just don't "feel" right.

I agree, it's a big reason why I've grown to enjoy Smackdown so much recently. The move to Tuesday's doesn't ruin the show for me (sure I could just not look at spoilers, but c'mon, I'm a wrestling fan, I'm going to read spoilers).
Most of the time I wish Raw was taped just so I can see what shit they're dishing out & I know I can skip it.
But tonight's show seems to be 80/20 or 70/30 on the good/shit scale. So I'll watch. Plus, no more baseball, I have no reasons not to watch.

Yeah, I will be around. I will probably fall asleep around 8:45 as has been par for the course.

I mean, it's a good team. I probably wouldn't drive 90 minutes to see it (maybe I would) but it's not terrible.

I got back late & just got caught up. Team Kevin & Chris fucking rule!
Noam Dar got pyro & a massive ovation. Don’t see that happening anywhere else but Scotland. Liked the tag match though. Can’t believe Sin Cara got a RAW match after his scuffle with Y2J.
The tag team segment/match went 30 minutes. That’s ridiculous. Gallows/Anderson are made to look like morons last week & this week they beat the tag champs. I don’t understand WWE booking at all. Which shouldn’t be surprising.
Truth sold his Survivor Series team spot to Primo & Epico for a time share. Call me crazy, but I was sort of entertained by that idea.
The more they show Goldberg/Lesnar stuff, I’m sorry, but the less interested I am in seeing it again.

Gee, I wonder if Primo & Epico get eliminated quick at the PPV?
That hijacking I talked about in the 1st post happens in this segment with the ladies. I'm looking forward to this! |

Charlotte's promos are in slow motion. Her voice annoys me too.
This is the same exact segment for the 3rd straight hour. 1st hour the main team bickers. 2nd hour the tag teams bicker. 3rd hour the women bicker.

Holy fuck Alicia Fox has been here 10 years and she still can’t cut a 15 second promo? Remember that 2 month span where she was batshit crazy & was super awesome? Man, 2 months in 10 years.

Heeeeyyyyyy, Heeeyyy Bayyyleeyyy!!! Ohhh, Ahhhh, I Wanna Knoooooowwww, Will You Be My Girl!!!
Who do you think the last team is for Smackdown? They’ve had qualifying matches and the Ascension, Spirit Squad & Headbangers have all been eliminated.
So do you have The Vaudevillains vs Breezango for the final spot? Or do you bring in a new team from NXT? Or worse, do you have a team like The Golden Truth end up on Smackdown?

This Bayley chant is outstanding.

Reading tweets about how people thought it took away from the show, made it too distracting. If fans love Bayley, they should let her talk.
You fucking kidding me? What do you want them to do, sit on their hands & be bored to death by Charlotte stumble over her words, Alicia & Nia suck at cutting promos? Or would you rather have them make this boring segment entertaining by chanting for the most over girl on your roster?
I agree they should've let Bayley talk after a bit, but God forbid the fans have fun at a wrestling show that only comes to town once a year. |

Wait pepole were mad about the Bayley chant?
Have they not noticed them every time Bayley has been on tour in the UK??
Less than a year since #NXTBlackpool.
Dang.

Ryan Satin (the dude that used to be on TMZ) was saying on Twitter how it was the fans trying to make it about themselves by not letting Bayley talk & just chanting for 15 minutes. Saying it was rude.
It's ridiculous. It beats the hell out of them being dead silent when Charlotte spoke, or Nia Jax, or Alicia. All of them stumbling over their scripted lines. Charlotte reacted well with the earmuffs, Nia was good being annoyed, Alicia just fed into it.
Granted Bayley tried to steer the ship on track, but damn, fans enjoyed themselves & the reactions in the ring were genuine. God forbid.
I was all for the chants. If this was making it about themselves, then why did they pop huge when Bayley got the pin?

Also, I liked the chaos of the main event. Especially the ending with Owens falling onto Jericho for the pin.
Seeds are planted. The KO/Jericho feud should be awesome!
