I think this thread alone is proof they've built some buzz. As much as a lot of people myself included are tearing into it. The thread is more active than it has been in quite a while.

No doubt but is it sustainable and will it he built upon ?

From past experiences my answer is sadly no.

John Pollack: Hour 3 of Raw feat. Raw Underground compared to last week's third hour (which was an all-time low):
Adults 18-49: +24%;
Females 18-49: +54%;
Males 18-49: +9%;
Adults 18-34: +82%;
Females 12-34: +237.5% (not a typo);
Males 12-34: +86%;
Adults 25-54: +15%;
Adults 50+: -6.5%

Maths quiz: If adults 18-34 are 82%, females 12-34 are 237.5% and males 12-34 are 86%, What time does the train reach Nantucket?

Oh of course, I was never suggesting it was. Let's be honest even storylines that had people talking lately were either forgotten or lead nowhere. Erik Rowan's pet was a toy spider that got immediately squashed. The Smackdown hacker was abandoned.

I don't know if people will be back and I certainly don't think the show has gotten better or will be better at the end of this.

Agent Coulson · 05-08-2020 7:44pm

So I just worked out the whole RAW Underground is there to get Punk back and let him win an actual

(Kayfabe)

shoot fight and big up his broken ego from the UFC.

It will probably be against Shane no doubt

Hard to knw really, an in ring return for Punk would be good for ratings

A Punk and Miz feud would be fascinating. I'd love to see Miz tear strips off Punk on the mic.

Rock Lesnar · 05-08-2020 8:58pm

So i just watched Joe and Rollins, i know what most of us think about Joe, but that just emphasised again how they have messed him up so badly, he deserves so much better then been stuck behind that desk

J. Marston · 05-08-2020 9:19pm

They've tried pushing him but he is made of glass these days.

Which isn’t surprising seeing how much he put himself through over the years.

Bryan almost made himself a cripple going hell for leather to become an Indy darling.

Those numbers look good but you said it yourself last week was an ALL TIME low - realistically they had to gain...having said that they did generate hype and buzz....next 2 weeks will be the real test.

They do need to get rid of the GTA style stripper dancers - c'mon lads, it's 2020!

Women's revolution.

Did they miss a trick by not having someone like Sonya Deville throwing around a developmental performer? It would have made it actually stand out of they had some women involved.

Although it could make for a good way for some women to burst in and take over RAW underground in weeks to come in response the use of the dancers.....

What was worse was Shane leering after them Alan Partidge style. 'OOOOOH YOURE NICER THAN MY WIFE'.

RollieFingers · 06-08-2020 11:43am

Shane was so bad on the mic, like someone commentating on Heat circa 2000.

More like a promoter on a Spring Break wet t shirt competition.

He was all sorts of cringe. Cant wait to get behind babyface Shane in 3 months when he leads Smackdown into battle for Survivor Series.

J. Marston · 06-08-2020 12:30pm

I'm seeing people angry over the use of the dancers. If they were developmental talent or jobbers (were they? I dunno) being used as dancers then it would be sending the wrong message but I presume they were local dancers/actors. It's a gig for them.

riffmongous · 06-08-2020 1:04pm

Joe is great, proper hard man.

Seth is also a ringer for Joseph Seed from Far Cry 5

beakerjoe · 06-08-2020 1:16pm

Joe is someone they obviously tried to push and get behind, its a pity he got so many injures which hampered him.

Theory for obvious reasons.

one of AOP got injured i think so they take whole team off tv same as usos

All the time in the world yet. It's easy to forget that before the Summer of Punk in 2011 he was stuck behind the commentator's booth as well.

JP Liz V1 · 10-08-2020 8:12pm

KO vs. Orton tonight

CastorTroy · 10-08-2020 8:26pm

No one calling out Retribution? How long until they actually come out during a match?

I'm sure the renegade oompa loompas will make an appearance.

This is all building to Retribution pulling the plug on Raw and Smackdown going out on the air.

Vince is going to cancel his own show before the networks can get the chance to. :pac:

I have never loved Joe as a wrestler but I would love him to end up the mastermind behind Retribution. A kind of "I was never given a chance thing" kind of Kingpin with loads of lackeys doing his bidding. Have them go on about their leader for ages with everyone wondering who it is. Then Joe dumps a returning Roman on his head and flattens Lesnar too!!

Though knowing WWE they will bring the leader out in a hood and have Vince revealed as he says "it was me all along!!" to loud groans from the IWC!! :pac:

no Shane is the leader

Fun to speculate but I would say Thomaso Ciampa, fed up with his standing in NXT after saying he will never leave, constantly refusing coning up to the main roster as he doesnt like the way NXT guys get treated once they go up.

So enters on his own terms.

Or its DDP....leta hear the pop when he whips off the mask again

CastorTroy · 10-08-2020 10:44pm

Turns out the leader is Erick Rowan

J. Marston · 10-08-2020 11:06pm

WWE have advertised the return of

The Monday Night Milf (Her words...but I agree) Mickie James.

Agent Coulson · 11-08-2020 12:29am

I wonder what kind of humiliating thing Prichard will write for her after her husband called him out a week or so ago.

Hour 1 down and still no mention of RAW Underground.

Ok first mention at the start of hour 2.

PTH2009 · 11-08-2020 2:27am

Retribution is so dumb

Agent Coulson · 11-08-2020 2:28am

Lana & Nat with a knock knock knock off of La Cool.

#Crap

Agent Coulson · 11-08-2020 3:05am

This cinematic Underground super quick cuts are going to give someone an epileptic fit.

Shane bouncing around like a nineteen year old rep on a bunch of E's in Ibiza for the first time is not working for me since he is a multi millionaire 50 year old now.

Agent Coulson · 11-08-2020 3:14am

Asuka is so damn good.

Agent Coulson · 11-08-2020 3:18am

A quick cut helps not show a knockout kick missing John Cena style on Underground.
