Hope this is as good as this:

Exciting:

Rjd2

Not sure sure who is the biggest waste of space, Kane or JBL?

rovert

What's going on here, lads???

Angron

I still remember when JBL was good on commentary. Now his heel repertoire seems to just be disagreeing with Cole a lot.

IanMc666

JBL is extra heelish ever since Swagger let down the US against Rusev

rovert

What a round the houses setup for a six man tag.

Strongbow10

this a-lister gimmick Miz has is a direct road to burial, its incredibly lame

IanMc666

Oh.. Holy Jaysus wow.

ricero

Bah gawd that jezabell ruining her senior prom

rovert

Only 42 minutes in.

Angron

I'm glad I didn't watch last week, that Bella replay look atrocious.

I wish you died in the womb. :mad:

rovert

Charlotte, Sasha Banks and Bailey

paconnors

Not even an hour in and 4 ad breaks, Ridiculous

rovert

Am I being punished?

Angron

If this show finishes on Brie and Nikki, I may weep.

Angron

Ok, this Bo segment is my favourite part of the night so far.

rovert

Enjoy all the indie workers working as extras tonight.

IanMc666

That rabbit has been my highlight so far. The bunny vs Slater next week.

paconnors

My money is on Big SHow or Henry to turn up and ruin the match for Rusev?

Rjd2

**** OFF JBL.

Angron

9.99 isn't funny, and having them parrot it off like it's a magnificent joke is just painful.

rovert

Stephanie & Nikki vs Shane & Brie at Survivor Series

bur

Oh Steph, just **** OFF!!

Angron

But Nikki, the stuff on your chest is the only way I know which twin is which.

IanMc666

Ah Paige.. Paige Paige.

paconnors

Same Version as the Opening Sequence what a coincidence

bur

When are the feminazi's going to go after WWE? This is just so tragic.

Angron

Heh, that one guy in the crowd roaring "Kiss her!"

Ape Lincoln

Jey is still selling his leg injury from last week. Swagger and Rusev were selling their injuries for weeks. Cena sold nothing of his beating last week. Hmm...

rovert

45 minutes left lads

rovert

Angron

When Cena went for the AA to Kane, for a second I thought he was gonna do the F5 as a taunt to Lesnar/The Authority.

rovert

What have I done stay up until 4.08am?

Angron

Yeah, it wasn't great but damn it I was committed.

Sirsok

Doesn't seem like much happened on raw with so few posts in here.... Does anyway care about the bellas or are they just gettin this push because of who they are with/married to?

Chip Whitley

I can only imagine how those people who stay up for this feel afterwards.

I just read the thread to keep up and afterwards, and even I'M like:

Lord TSC

I....I know I watched it and finished it an hour ago....but I'm really struggling to remember anything....

Palo Alto

I MISS AMBROSE SO MUCH GUYS.

cagefactor

I've given up on the WWE. CM Punk used to interest me, RAW last week was meh and this week it is a fast forward on 30x show for 3 hrs.

After the summerslam beating john cena took I can't actually bolieve that it can end any other way. Also I never thought there'd be a wrestler with less moves than John Cena, but now we have Roman Reigns who has been groomed to win at wrestlemania according to all reports. I'm switching off for good.

They might as well rebrand to "The Dean Ambrose Show Featuring Seth Rollins"

No idea what is going on with you, your priorities etc but WWE is always pretty crummy this time of year let's not pretend otherwise.





Raw was cack this week but let's not act surprised or shocked or like it is anything new or historic low. Ok the Divas six person tag was.

Ape Lincoln

Yeah but Degeneration X debuted at this time of year and duh! that was the hottest thing in wrestling ever and they put WCW out if business!!

WinnyThePoo

Jaysus, only 3 pages for a raw thread. Must of have been tar.

Blue_Dabadee

Yeah, WWE is usually boring at this time of the year. I can't blame people who stop watching the product after SummerSlam or WrestleMania.

Moneymaker

But the RAW after Summerslam was one of the best this year.

The drop off in quality is really jarring tbh. It's like none of them are even trying.

Come back soon please Dean.

I watched the first hour and fell asleep. Transfer deadline day took it out of me Is it worth downloading? Im guessing not by the comments

Scathing review here http://www.voicesofwrestling.com/2014/09/02/wwe-raw-september-1-report/

A bad, bad show. 1999 Nitro levels of terrible. Uninspired to the max. The terrible crap they’re doing in an attempt to garner interest is failing on all levels. The fall slump has begun, all we can do now is ride it out and hope it’s not as bad as it was in 2011 or last year. That isn’t how you’re supposed to treat fans who enjoy wrestling, but it’s WWE. They’re in their own weird Orwellian universe where they think they’re writing compelling television, and they think they know what you want when they’re doing the exact opposite.

Yeah, it was very bad and the main event angle made no sense. Rollins lived nearby so the crowd cheered him, they also shat on a lot of segments. Bray Wyatt was absent when he could have done with an appearance to make up for his drubbing last week. Him in a Wyatt Family Cage match craptacular against Jericho is not the most enticing thing.

You won't be missing too much if you don't watch it really. There was a few small bits I liked (Miz & Cesaro vs Ziggler & Sheamus was all right, and I liked the bit with Bo). However, Brie vs. Nikki is woeful, and the sooner it's done the better. Not even having AJ and Paige out made that bit good. The less said about the Total Divas tag match, the better.

They keep making a big deal about inviting Michael Sam to next week's Raw, even though they don't seem to know if he's actually going to show up.
