Official Raw thread

I still think Lesner over Taker is the most epic WWE screw up. I'm 37 and have followed WWE for a long time, heck I remember being a 6 year old kid and crying after watching King Kong Bundy repeatedly Avalanche Splash an "unconscious" Hulk Hogan. I literally said fuck it when Lesner won that match and it pissed me off because it disrespect the wrestlers that are there every week. Then he wins the WWE BELT and is gone again leaving the WWE without their most valuable belt in play. Absolute stupidity is the only thing that can be used as an excuse for this.

They need to go back to TV14. That would fix half of the fucking problems.

Could help....but storylines like Katie Vick won't help.

Also Mark Henry getting Mae Young pregnant and her giving birth to a hand wouldn't help either.

I hate to sound pessimistic but I don't think the WWE can recover. They will be bankrupt and out of business in two years. This years Brock Lesner disaster will go down as one of the most epic tv blunders of all time.

If your prediction comes true, it might be the best thing that happened to wrestling in a long time.

The McMahon stanglehold has really stagnated the "sport". It would be interesting to see what products could step up and fill the void if this became reality.

I really want to point out that the shittiness of the WWE is in direct correlation with the departure of CM punk.

Oh the horror! The hand was bad!

It was bad with punk also.

 

[OregonDucks]

Punk was awesome in the summer of 2011...that was a long time ago,,,I like Punk, but his title reign was pretty boring.

Wwe needs a new direction.

I seriously can't believe they went back to the anonymous GM...

How come 75-80% of the fandom has to claim that the Attitude Era needs to come back? It's not. (Disclaimer: I don't know if it will. If it does, it's not happening anytime soon.)

I watched a good chunk of WWE programming during the Attitude Era. I'm kind of iffy on it, looking back on the whole thing. I think WWE needs to cater to everyone. I'm not watching wrestling to see blood or women in bikinis rolling around in gravy. What does TV-14 accomplish? If you go full-on, it doesn't make sense. You don't need some little kid questioning you about something that would be more suitable for the late-90s.

It doesn't need to be TV-14 100% of the time.

A few things I would do to fix the current product:
1) Get rid of the diva's shit. I don't care what these sluts do in their personal lives.
2) Bring back the Hardcore title.
3) More manager's for heel wrestlers.

 

[johnson]

Disagree on getting rid of the diva stuff (I assume you are just talking about the Total Diva's show?). I don't watch it and think it's pretty stupid too, but my understanding is it doesn't directly relate to the biggest feuds?

I do think there are just too many divas. 80% of them nobody cares about. They need to focus on just a few and leave the rest alone.

Hardcore title would be cool. Would also be cool if the actual WWE title MEANT SOMETHING!! Having it not on the line most of the year is just stupid. Lesnar needs to lose soon or show up more.

 

[OregonDucks]

I don't care about the Divas, never have...especially when TV 14 had them almost naked and rolling in mud....

But I think going to TV 14 you could create more edgier storylines...a cuss word from time to time can add a lot to a promo/feud and blood when dudes are getting hit with steel or repeatedly over and over makes sense and gives a realness to it..

Bring back TV 14 but leave the pron out.

Its not just the personal lives you see. Whenever I happen to catch an episode, its funny watching ambrose, fandango in the backstage area just trying to mind their own business and ending up on camera.

 

[Ewa PGH Fan]

Just why I posted it EWA, didnt think the current subscribers were gonna get that email. You probably just cancel yours because your second floor tenant was getting it, even though you dont have a two flat.

Surprise, surprise!!!!

I recieved an email from WWE to the account I used to register for the network offering me the 1 year and free Roku deal. Will wonders never cease???

 

[Mistaken4193]

Damn it fuck Cena vs Brock, give us what we really want to see which is, BROOOOCCCCKKK LEEESSSNNNAARR vs. MIZDOW!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Mistaken4193]

Bring back everything TV-14 had except;Almost naked ladies every week, although I would like to see a bra & Panties match every once in a while, and no chair shots to the head(that fucks people up). Everything else that was in the attitude era would be ok in my opinion.

 

[OregonDucks]

I seriously can't believe they keep shoving Cena down our throats....seriously it's been 10 years...of the same Super Cena BS...the rock wasn't even the top dog for 10 years...

I got a feeling we will only have to put up with Cena for 1 or 2 more years. Then Roman Reigns will be shoved down our throats for 15 years.

 

[OnlyCrimson]

I was watching RAW with my girlfriend and I couldn't take, it so I picked up some bonus points and watched Glee on Netflix with her. Surprisingly, Glee wasn't the gayer of the two shows.

What we really need is Lesnar vs Miz. That way we get to see Mizdow mimic an F5.
