Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread

Based on what Cena said at the rumble press conference, doesn't sound like we'll see him again (no pun intended) until Elimination Chamber.

I hope he does get #17 at Wrestlemania. All it takes is an injury and suddenly he's not competing for a while and that could throw things off, especially since he's still filming movies during this retirement tour.

Imo, get #17 at Wrestlemania and then the remainder of his retirement tour can be "dream matches/wrapping up loose ends" like seeing one more Cena-Orton, Cena-Punk match possibly, maybe some match on NXT, matches with/against the future guys like Bron, Trick and others.

So much for what I guessed.

CM Punk vs Zayn for the EC qualifier. So one of them is guaranteed to not be in this match. Most likely Zayn, which makes me wonder who if anyone he faces at EC then. KO as a heel in Toronto, I don't even need him in a match, give him a mic and the Quebec native can rip the Toronto crowd worse than The Rock. Chelsea better be on this card then if Zayn and likely KO aren't. Her reaction during MITB was insane to hear live.

The internet would've complained no matter who won.

Crowd reaction, merch sales, and so much more means more than internet fans comments.


Outside of Kurt Angle for the exact opposite reason, I don't think I've ever seen someone restart their entrance like that.

Jey: I don't know what to say.

Fans: YEET!

Jey: Besides that!

Wonder when we'll see whatever new music group takes over for def rebel. They don't get the credit for the good songs they made, but definitely have made way too many bad ones.

Pentas theme literally sounds like the background music in the character selection screen of a fighting game 25 years ago.

Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread

Based on the crowd reacting to Charlotte, you would think fans have been complaining about Charlotte Flair winning the Rumble and not Jey Uso. To be fair, I don't know what she was trying to get at with her promo, just so random.

The "best" version of Charlotte is just embracing she's the star. No trolling, no pretending she's a face, just go out there and embrace that she's a villain and entitled and gets everything she wants.

Kofi: "We can't wait to get out of Cleveland, just like Myles Garrett!"

Damn.... that didn't take long lol. If he would have said Art Modell, that might have been Elias/Seattle type of heat lol.

Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread

Has this always been there?

When they cut to ad breaks but the break is simply just continued in arena footage, but they have a "back in ___" countdown clock. Why have a countdown clock when there's technically no ad breaks?

But I've found the timing/transitions to be real sloppy since the Netflix move. I thought after a few weeks they'd fix it but seems like this is how it is. Just seems so messy seeing them transition from one moment to another when it comes to "ad breaks".

Most recently we had New Day with a promo in the ring during the "ad break", once the countdown ended they just cut away from that moment and never went back to it. Just seems sloppy.

They're censoring chants on Netflix too? Isn't that the one thing HHH said wouldn't be censored anymore?

Roman out for the "foreseeable future". They're just gonna skip over elimination chamber for him aren't they?!

Don't know if the best use of your new women's IC champ is her first 2 matches after winning being matches where she wants to go after a world title and seemingly not care about her own title.

Rollins taking his look this week out of the Michael Hayes collection.

I was just coming here to talk about this. I had heard in the beginning about some countries seeing promos and stuff going on during commercials. At first, I wasn't seeing them but now I see what you're seeing. They showed Seth's whole entrance while the timer thing was showing. I'm all for it.. keep doing this, keep doing things that TV wouldn't let them do.

I'm watching at times live but at times on delay.

I'm starting to think the countdown clock parts of the show get cut out if you're not watching live. So if you aren't watching live you're having the show cut out parts like promos during those "breaks".

I'm watching delayed and noticed when Punk was entering and they went to break, once they returned from break the match begun. So if they showed the rest of his entrance or anything else during that break, it gets cut out on the on demand viewing of the show.

Also looking at the on demand version of past episodes, it's just 2 hours long. So those 30 min "bonus footage" like extra parts of entrances, continued matches, Jackie interviewing people and so on get edited out of the show.

Edit-Just watched back part of it, they definitely cut out anything that had the "back in __" timer. New Days promo is nowhere to be found anymore! Don't get how stuff like that gets edited out but all those wweshop ads stay in.

Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread

This feed has been brutal all night but the absolute worst by the end of the show. What happened to Netflix fixing their system and "this won't happen again, not like 50m people will be watching at once anyways."

I thought my TV was going up and I was going to need a new TV. I checked Twitter and saw it was a Netflix issue and everyone was having issues.
