I'd be fine with them bringing back the anonymous general manager

I kinda agree with this.
I'd be ok with them bringing back the concept of an authority figure who is heard, but not seen. Similar to the anonymous GM or even Jack Tunney.
They don't need 30 minute skits or promos where the authority figure is flexing their power or acting whacky. Just someone fair who enforces the rules.

I definitely don't want the lights to blink twice and for a text alert tone to play over the sound system, so that one of the commentators can get up and read a message from the GM, 3 times a show. That was one of the most cringe ideas that WWE has had over the last 10 years. That was one of those things that made you feel embarrassed for being a wrestling fan.

I finished raw in a record 23 minutes last night. Wasn’t worth that.

Moose48 · 11-27-2018, 09:58 PM

Seriously, Asuka with the stupid butt bump to eliminate Billie and Peyton? This isn't even bad '80's wrestling level stupidity. Nearly all eliminations from people going over the top rope, then just sitting there waiting to get eliminated.

And now Asuka just sits out there for five minutes instead of getting back in....

Jericho · 11-28-2018, 01:11 PM

I'd prefer a Charlotte/Becky one on one TLC match. But wouldnt be surprised if Asuka wins the title.

She’s taking the pin. 100%

She’s only there to protect the others

TLC match winner is not determined via pinfall.

Not really my point

Fair though

Jericho · 12-03-2018, 10:01 PM

Ambrose's new gimmick is that the fans smell and make him sick? Thats even worse than his "Lunatic Fringe" gimmick. The guy is nowhere near a main eventer

Jericho · 12-03-2018, 10:18 PM

Having Renee there is absolutely useless.

natbornkiller · 12-03-2018, 10:32 PM

I read it will be 6 man TLC.

I couldn't even get past the first hour of RAW. Just turned off the recording and watched other shows

BoxBreaker72 · 12-04-2018, 03:07 AM

Worst shape the company has ever been in. It’s unwatchable.

apb4 · 12-04-2018, 08:29 AM

I turned the show off after the Ziggler McIntyre match, I just cant get behind the booking. I feel they have done a nice job booking Drew the last month or two to look like a top heel. Here you have him on a long winning streak and instead of using that winning streak to elevate a baby face like Balor you have him lose to freaking Ziggler. How many turns is this now for Ziggler? 20? He’s right behind Big Show at this point. To me Zigglers character is boring and stale and will never be more than a mid Card I would never have wasted that loss in a throw away match on raw against Ziggler. And then to have Cole just briefly mention the fact it’s his first loss after the finish. Just terrible imo.

mnvikingstwins · 12-04-2018, 10:14 AM

Yeah I just watch streamable highlights on reddit, TV getting way too boring. How many more times do we need to see Riott squad vs Natalya, the fat Samoans, Drew/Balor, and anything with Lashley or Corbin

As someone else said, it’s the age of zero star power.

scfa1975 · 12-04-2018, 01:35 PM

I cant wait to see what they do with Lars Sullivan. I hope its not something corny. I mean if they put him with the Wyatt family that they actually keep the family together. Or just let him come in and destroy and win a title

nera20 · 12-04-2018, 01:53 PM

NXT UK has been fantastic thus far some very talented wrestlers and the shows have been well written

Unfortunately I watched it all well kinda as I was openeing a case of WWE cards, but this post sums up EXACTLY how I fealt about last night. The fact that they started with back to back women’s segments and then closed out with Ronda again just tells me how weak the Men’s is right now with so many stars out. Can’t believe Drew lost last night to Ziggler who they basically had to turn because they have no one else left with so many guys out. UGH...

Judging by his old comments he has made, a racist gimmick would fit him perfectly. Hope they get alot of backlash over him and are forced to release him. He's nothing special and wont be worth the hassle. Awful human by all accounts

BoxBreaker72 · 12-04-2018, 05:50 PM

Raw with the lowest rating in HISTORY.

5 foot tall beta males and 60% women segments don't draw apparently.
