Incredible show. Now will we see another show next week or in two months? The network is great but so inconsistent.

This show sucks. Why can't WWE stay kayfabe? You wouldn't think wwe would be the ones to come out about their own product. The only thing I liked is when Paul said all the fans do is b*tch, moan, and complain and that they need to STFU. This statement is so true, people complain about EVERYTHING. Please get a different guy and maybe I'll give it another shot.

Just watched it and I loved it. Enjoyed the real life opinions from people "in the know". And I agreed with a lot of what they said.

Please get a different guy and maybe I'll give it another shot. Sorry but I chuckled when you said the only thing you liked is when Heyman said fans complain about everything, as you're complaining. Anyway, I liked it overall. The tone was a little confusing as it seemed sometimes they were just shooting and other times they were kayfabing. Really surprised they took shots at Bret given that he apologized so long ago and it seemed like JBL had no idea. You would think they'd give him a heads up about that when they were going through the outline of the show. The Hogan topic seemed like WWE putting out feelers to see how fans talk about it. On the topic of 3 hour RAWs I was a little surprised they gave Rosenberg a hard time about his opinion. I thought he gave a great answer saying that it makes sense financially but he would enjoy it better at 2 hours. It's his opinion (one that I agree with) and he's allowed to have it. I really like Rosenberg in a spot like this. I've listened to his interviews in the past and I like how he's professional but still casual and just doesn't try to do too much. Sam Roberts is good too but I think he's better used in the clip shows and preshows they use him on. He's a bit more frantic and funny. |

I watched the first 10 minutes before leaving for work this morning. I like Rosenberg on there with the "fan" perspective and he seemed comfortable out there with Heyman and JBL. Seemed like they were behind current TV by a couple of weeks. This is the kind of show I can get into, along with a return of the Legends of Wrestling. That would definitely need JR, though.

Watched it last night. Really enjoyed it. Loved the realistic approach to it. Honest opinions and topics that wrestling fans talk about. Hope there's more to come.

I watched some of this while getting ready for work. At first, I thought this would just be a platform to say, "the Internet complains about everything" but I enjoyed the little bit I saw. I could see this being an easy, light hearted watch

so all this was WWE belittling the fans that have an opinion. I've never seen a publicly traded company go to such great lengths to show how much they hate their customers. That's bad business. I've never seen a "customer" go to such weird lengths to show how much they hate a publicly traded company. That's bad hobbying. |

I was referring to the fact that fans complain about raw, smackdown, ppv's, what superstars do, what superstars don't do, who should be champion. |

I seriously don't get how he can watch all this wrestling in one week and hate everything (except nxt because "they can do no wrong") |

I enjoyed it.
Heyman was cracking me up the whole time.

Fun little show. I'd be interested to know whether or not Heyman or JBL actually feel strongly in favor of 3 hour Raws as they indicated. General consensus, for quite some time now, has been that talent, writers, and the like all find the three hours to be detrimental and counterproductive.

I enjoyed the show. I hope they don't replace neither of these 3 on the show. As much as i dislike JBL on commentary, i loved him on this show. He made a lot of sense in terms on why RAW staying 3 hours is a good idea business wise, but Rosenberg made sense on why it should go 2 hours product wise. The financial side is why it won't go 2 hours any time soon. A little surprising that JBL took a shot at Bret Hart, but i agreed with what JBL said to him. I liked that JBL mentioned Nakamura for the Rumble. Id rather see him debut after Mania, so i could be there for his first Mania next year, which is the reason i selfishly don't want Balor back till after or Taker retiring this year lol. Overall, the show was enjoyable, i enjoyed Heyman the most.

JBL saying the cruiserweights get four segments and the third hour is better for everyone. So far that has not worked out.
Two and a half hours instead would be slightly easier, but most RAWs on the three hours there is very little action, mostly promos and backstage stuff.

Anyone else really enjoy the first episode of this show? I just got to watching it today and I absolutely love it. I feel like this is something the WWE Network really needed.. an ESPN type talk show where they talk about whats going on in the WWE, etc.. I love how Pete Rosenberg brings a fan point-of-view aspect to this. Some really good points were made by him and I enjoyed some of the questions he would follow up asking where Heyman and JBL didn't necessarily give the best answer.
What are your guys' thoughts? Would you like to see it continue long-term? What are some things you would like to see changed or kept the same?

But... I am going to move this because there was already a thread on the new show. |
