I thought this was a really good raw save for the Kanneli

I stand by it! It's not dynamic enough to win matches cleanly in an upper midcard-main event match.

I thought that was the reason they disregarded it in the first place. Both networks wanted the same guys.

They're doing the draft because they're going to a network that doesn't want to share (FOX).

It's not even that I had done a lot of reading and was well informed, I suppose they are my two broken clock moments.

PS - I wanted corporate Kane.

edit - Watching now and MAYOR KANE !!!!!

Whilst the segments don't do much for me are they really that bad? Even if they are rusev pop saves every segment.

He can do the SA but nobody can take the claw seriously when he does it to a credible opponent.

I thought the only thing bad about the claw on last nights raw was the camera work ****ed up so you literally saw Kane roll out of the ring when he's meant to have been ruined by this move.

I think with regards to the claw you just have to protect it as a move and then it's fine.

I only skipped through raw but all the segments seemed pretty good, I assume the matches were all decent given the people involved. The chair fight by the women was so fake it's the only bit I saw that I thought was bad.

Good lord Cole is so bad at his job. How can you work in the business 20 years and not understand tone or point of angles?

Thanks for the hu

. D/l'ed SD! and watched. Obviously

ed it. Though it's the first time I've looked at Brock and thought he looks old

.

Skipped through most of the rest of the show. Was shocked to see Charlotte and Sasha on tv. idk why they'd do that

.

The Roman story line's so confusing. Now Bryan's still a heel but getting beaten up by Rowan/Harper but Roman making the save. The only logical ending to this story:

with Bryan playing Flair.

By logical I mean that it makes absolutely no sense except for future booking of the characters and puts a bow on this all time worst story telling of Roman's misfortunes.

Yeah, I keep thinking that Bryan is still the ring leader here, but he's taken quite the beating. Didn't think they'd flip him back face so soon, but I guess they're doing it with Charlotte too, so...

Speaking of, I'm really hoping Sasha & Bayley don't get split up by the draft, but I don't see how they can't. If they're going to be strictly enforcing it this time, they need to promote other women. Can't just be the same four all the time. Guess that's why they had Carmella come out to save other Carmella tonight, though there's no real storyline reason for her to do so. Maybe Truth will lead a stable of all the Carmelas.

Carmella interfering made no sense at all, worst part of a bad show

I think Rowan has been doing a good job so far with this but I don't get why his promo was punctuated by deep nostril sounds. Poor delivery, which is more recently out of character.

As great as Sami is on the mic using him as a mouthpiece is such a waste.

I have liked the AOP bits this week.

I thought the crowning of Corbin was really botched, despite liking him as a choice for King. I have no issue with Gable going over but time, not day one.

I think I love heavy machinery, good wrestling and good characters imo.

I liked the beat down at the end too.

It's true but only screenshot I got

This match still happening shouldn't be a thing. Nikki doing armbars pre commercial, commercial, Sasha doing leg locks minutes after coming back. Nobody cares that much.

Heard about the pyro but new sets? Not surprised about SD! getting new but RAW? Sounds good. Next thing you know they'll hang that right to Know Your Role Blvd. and actually make real stars and matches worth watching!

If next week is the "season premiere" of Raw, does that make this week the "season finale"?

Yep and it doesn't get any better than Seth vs. Braun leading us into the next season because it definitely hasn't been done recently with a decisive finish.

Corey just mentioned it, but did anyone catch the video of Lacey being pulled over and staying in character? Definitely gains some kayfabe points for that.

Yes here in Canada,lol. She's lucky she had a nice cop otherwise she would have been dragged out, thrown down and maybe shot.

Edit:
This is what should have been said by the cop
Do you know who I am? No sorry nobody watches wwe anymore. Are you Trish Stratus?

I just don't care about any of these matches. What is this garbage?

Viking Experience vs. Club
Sasha vs. Nikki
Ember vs. Lacey
Baron vs. Gable

Upcoming 5-way and Seth vs. Braun (feat. Bray interference).
