**WWE Raw/Smackdown Viewing Thread** - Page 2016 - Wrestling -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

Was this the first time Smackdown ran past the :00 time?

If so I think that is a good thing, I like watching live and not being able to predict when it will end.

Any thoughts on the Charlotte face turn? While I don't necessarily agree with turning the best heel in the division, I do like the way they're telling the story.

Charlotte is the best in-ring competitor, but has been surpassed as best heel in the division.

They need a top face diva. Bayley sucks, Sasha sucks as a face and Becky is good but not too baby face good quite yet.

I'm not expecting Charlotte to be much of a face. I'm hoping this is part of a longer plan involving an eventual Charlotte/Becky feud that has some legitimate groundwork behind it instead of the laziness of the arbitrary Diva's Revolution factions.

That storyline is very intriguing, but I'm worried it will just devolve into relatively meaningless 3-on-3 matches. The face side also has way more star power and are all much better wrestlers in kayfabe, so I'm not sure how they'll handle that in the booking.

Most heels are so bad on Talking Smack. They don't understand that it's unscripted, but you're supposed to remain in character. So glad at least KO gets this.

I know it's been said before, but as good as Corey Graves is...Booker is at least the inverse amount bad.

Was there supposed to be a boycott of Raw and I missed the memo? Or does no one watch the U.K. pre taped?

Thread is usually lighter for Euro pre-taped shows.

Jesus, only 2 posts for an entire Raw? I know it was a UK show, but still, goddamn.

Can't believe they didn't mute out the "Fire Bradshaw" chants during the Harper/Rowan match.

They could do a nice double turn get Braun over by having reigns constantly attack him so he can't heal and put reigns over as a monster heel but of course they'll stick with the current booking so the crowd can only express xpac heat for roman which I don't think is fair to him as a performer he's pretty good they started off booing the booking I would say and it just morphed into the current xpac heat he gets

You'll be surprised at a lot of the opinions on this forum vs every other wrestling forum on the net.

New season of Master Of None has Aparna Nancherla playing a WWE fan that blew off a date to watch Dean Ambrose fight Samoa Joe for the WWE Championship at Summerslam. The inaccuracy was so Aziz could nickname himself Samosa Joe.

I saw that and was wondering if that match actually happened. Was pretty sure it didn't but would have believed it did

Friend begged me to go to Raw tonight, so I caved. Sitting row 1 in the Lower Bowl.

Hopefully we get an unexpected good show, but it's hard to be excited about Raw at the moment.
