5/30/16: Raw is PBR

Re: 5/30/16: Raw is PBR

Jericho and Owens need to be a tag team. Lol at "It was your stupid move" after Jericho hits a codebreaker, Owens tags himself in to pin Ambrose and he kicks out.


Not sure how I feel about the AJ turn, on the last two Raws they've taken two guys fans are dying to cheer in Rollins and Styles and turned them. We'll see how well this sticks. I'm guessing Styles gets the win over Cena at MITB and then loses at the next two PPVs unless they're on separate brands when the rosters split

How did they turn Rollins??? He is a heel and the top one in the company to boot.

I actually intended to watch this week's RAW but my cable set top box was being all effed up. I think the fates are telling me not to bother with the current product LOL.

So I see Styles is going to be Cena's next victim...YIPPEE!

Turn was the wrong word for Rollins, more of a case of teasing a face turn and pulling it back

I'm not bailing, in fact the upcoming brand split has me very intrigued.

I dunno. To me they've been delivering about 30 minutes of solid-to-good TV spread out over 3 hours. Even for dedicated fans, they're testing people's patience.

At least WWE has learned to spread it out. I remember back in the day when the product wasn't the greatest but it was still hot how they'd put a great segment to start the show and an awesome match to end it. You could literally miss everything else in between and still see the entertaining parts.

How did they tease a face turn? Lol. The first thing he did when he came back was attack the champ who, tho people don't think it, is a face.

Yeah, the ratings are weird because of that tho. Used to be the last hour of the 2 hour show had the biggest audience, now it's almost in reverse with the 1st>2nd>=3rd.

Personally I think the pace gets all screwed up when you add a 3rd hour. I just can't deal with having a talking segment go on long, then a commercial, then back for entrances to a match, 30 seconds into the match a guy gets thrown out, cut to another commercial.

Can't hold an audience for a 3 hour show when they do that repeatedly. A live wrestling TV show shouldn't slow to a crawl like that. It's easier to justify hanging on for that 2nd hour than all the way to 180+ minutes, especially in this day and age.

Re: 5/30/16: Raw is PBR

The fans showed how excited they were for the face of TNA, A.J. Styles, and the face of the WWE, John Cena, to meet in the ring by chanting "What?" over their promos.

...and what's with the "Justin Bieber" chants directed at Rollins? How stupid is that?

Re: 5/30/16: Raw is PBR

I was more focused on watching the Warriors/Thunder game than RAW. This week's show couldn't do much to get me hooked. We got Shane and Steph come out to tell us about the upcoming brand extension as well as Smackdown going live on Tuesdays. Then the New Day come out and I thought the way they were acting were strange. The match that followed between New Day and Vaudevillains was okay and I'm fine with the Gallows and Anderson coming out to interfere. There were a lot of predictable matches except for Enzo and Cass defeating the Dudleyz. I guess the Duleyz are out to job again.

I enjoyed were Cena/Styles with Styles turning heel attacking Cena. Got the crowd to react big time. I guess him losing clean to Owens last week is a catalyst for the turn. It's just sad how Styles has to turn heel though. This company. Also enjoyed the quick Natalya/Brooke match up only because Becky Lynch came out to save Natayla. Also didn't mind the main event tag team match although felt it should've been saved for later. Felt kinda anti-climatic since the PPV is weeks away. Also, Roman Reigns is not main eventing RAW at all. Can't remember the last time he ended RAW. His segment with Rollins felt lackluster because Roman is a man of a few words.

I haven't been watching lately, but I assume Undertaker has gone back into hibernation as he does every year after Mania, my question is if they were going to do that AND keep Shane around, why wouldn't they just have had him win the match?

Why is it sad Styles "had" to turn heel?

Yea that ending at Mania makes literally 0 sense. Shane has control of Raw right now and Taker is no where to be seen. So as of right now I'm just seeing it as Taker lost and is fired. And Shane is running Raw.

Don't really have an issue with AJ turning heel. He was a heel during his entire New Japan run.
