I'm expecting Ziggler next. He usually gets a good response so it would pick the crowd up again after this.

I assume him and Jesse will drive to the ring

Christian vs Sheamus is like SMACKDOWN: THE MATCH

cian68

Jerks unintentionally reminding me how early closing time is for pubs here. The ignorant pr*cks

Being on the Pointless app right now has never been so relevant.

It seems to have been completely forgotten about since the Network came along. It had potential but they have done nothing with it.

They could easily do a similar level every week if they wanted. The first ~75 minutes has flown by even with all the breaks.

They really couldn't, has any weekly wrestling show ever kept up that sort of pace on a week by week basis? And don't let nostalgia cloud your judgement. Attitude Era and WCW in its heyday had plenty of "down" weeks.

Do those "Sky Sports" and "Temple Bar" comments just go out on Sky?

And if so, how do the commentators do region specific mentions without it going out on the main American channel?

Having the WWE app is like having an xbox live silver account, feels good for a while but you figure out after a while its worthless!

They could do a similar level. Doesnt have to be as good, just once it's good. Most weeks Raw is crap.

What was that skin cancer comment about?

Why wouldn't they mention it on the US channel? They're talking about where a wrestler is from.

It'd go everywhere. Those comments are only ever made when Sheamus is wrestling.

So while everyone else is on the Road to Wrestlemania, Sheamus and Christian are on the Road to Nowhere #RAW #RawChicago

Far bigger percentage of the roster were way over in the Attitude Era. Plus 2 hours makes it a far easier watch. Thankfully there's more stars around right now since it's so close to Mania

And how would the "Sky Sports 3" comment be relevant to American viewers?

Same way "Raw on USA" is relevant to the rest of the world.

bradlente

The crowd seem a bit knackered:pac:

gnfnrhead

Hah, a This is Awful chant.

Moneymaker

I think the mental first hour was to burn out the crowd.

Looks like its worked.

Oh, a 'This is Awful' chant. Idiotic.

Mr.Nice Guy

'This is awful' chant. Don't think that was warranted.

They have two JBL. One for you and one for the rest of the world

The big reaction to just about any entrance music made all the difference.

Have you ever watched sports from outside of the UK and Ireland before? Plenty of times on WWE they mention the channels in other countries. Hell I've heard it on NFL (rarely though), IndyCar, Aussie Rules, Rugby League from Australia etc.

To be fair, its a dull match that has gone far too long.

Moneymaker

Yeah it's not a good match but the guys are doing their best, they're in a bad situation. Disrespectful to chant what they are imo.

Jester252

So the Brogue kick is not the Diamond cutter?
