Again, you're probably right. I do believe, however, that the no action during commercial breaks policy is going to be a detriment going forward, especially on a three hour show.

Ya, sucks we cant tag people in posts. At least we get notifications on tapatalk if someone quotes you. But tagging would be cool too.

I'm now watching it. That was crazy! Dont care much for the Lashley feuds, but that spot was insane.

There’s a quote in the “fall of WCW” book, that I’m paraphrasing, but basically it said that when you’re going well the fans forgive everything. Even the worst segment is at worst just looked over. But when you’re going bad then nothing is good enough. Every segment is looked a preconceived lense that’s it’s bad. And there’s nothing you can do to turn it around. There isn’t one turning point to change things. In Wrestling it takes years to turn things around.

I think that quote is extremely prevalent right now. As bad as the product has gotten, I feel like we dismiss the things that they are doing well. We’re nitpicking everything and not allowing ourselves to enjoy parts of the show. I feel more confident that WWE is closer to turning the corner than I did 3/4/5 years ago. Hopefully this Raw is a sign of things to come.

Get Steve to upgrade these ancient forums! It's 2019 and we still can't see tweets on desktop on here, lol

Street Profits backstage interview was entertaining.

Lol, AJ walks up to Richochet, challenges him and slaps him!

Rollins/Becky promo was great.
Rollins: If I get pinned then Becky loses her title.
Becky: I wouldn't advise you to lose my title.
Rollins: Its an extreme rules match which means anything goes.
Becky: Except that. I sleep with this thing.
Rollins: She really does...its becoming abit of a problem.

What the......
That whole Kanellis stuff was messed up. Dont know what the purpose of that was, but it was different. Lol "maybe Becky could impregnate me".


Lol, street profits and Heyman! Maybe he did have a role in the show. We saw more backstage promos tonight which had comedy and actual feud building.

That 5 second Carmella vs Bliss match did more than some 10 minute match with the same match result would've done. I hope these shorter matches continues because it's working.

Nice ending to Raw. An actual big heel turn!

This was still the best explosive moment on Raw

That's really true of most things. Like in sports. Are you mad that some guy on your team went 0/6 from the field when your team won the game?

And same with the flip side too. If your team loses all the time, is a guy putting up a double double every game so impressive?

Zelina Vega has issued a mixed tag team match to Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch to face her and Andrade in a match on RAW just days before Extreme Rules. Rollins has accepted the challenge on behalf of hid girlfriend Becky.

Can we just do the Corbin/Lacey vs Rollins/Becky match on RAW and Andrade/Zelina vs Rollins/Becky at Extreme Rules? Much better match.
