wwe could easily fix RAW...by cutting the last hour And building any decent storylines and or characters, but I've already beaten that to death. Hooray for workrate!

Oh yesh...sorry, mind wiped that because now with Bray injured it's no longer canon. For what it's worth when Roman came out for his promo tonight I was thinking the exact same thing about him not closing out any show - took me a minute to remember it I'm hooked by the Gallows/Anderson involvement, though. Mainly because I think it's all setting up Balor in the very near future. So yay.

This has been a mostly solid show, but, as usual, it took quite a dive in the third hour. I adore both Owens and Ambrose, but it's nearly impossible to care about seeing those two face each other at this point. Once it became clear that they weren't building to anything for the main event tonight, things just kind of fell flat. Good development for Payback matches, though. Really intriguing stuff with AJ, Anderson, and Gallows. Why do I have the feeling this is AJ's heel turn, used as a thinly veiled attempt to get face sympathy for Roman? Anyone else feel this way? Only WWE could screw up a pretty clear direction. Wonder how many times Vince had to take his driver's test. *BA-DUM-TSH*

I like that there's about three or four different directions they could go with the situation, and I'm not entirely sure which way they're going to go with it.

To be fair, they've actually been trying to do that the last few weeks. It's far from perfect, but it's been a marked improvement. The question is whether or not they can sustain it.

Kalisto beat breeze on superstars before raw lol, what a waste of two talents. And Zack Ryder wasn't even on superstars! Instead the crowd got two doses of social outcasts, on superstars and raw.

It's been better, but the show overall still feels exceedingly dry and lacking any sort of emotion to it.

Dirty Deeds looks so weak. He deserves a better finish.

I thought this was a pretty good Raw. Maybe they should tape their shows or go overseas more often?

AJ Styles/Karl Anderson/Luke Gallows together on screen and there past is acknowledged, is this real life?? Otherwsise the show was alright with the always great London crowd. Enzo Amore's promo was fire.

The Vaudevillains vs Enzo and Cass at Payback.
Two teams that most of the casual audience had no idea existed till a couple of weeks ago. Way to keep alienating your fanbase, WWE.
Reigns vs AJ's story is basically "We're gonna have a great match, Maggle." Good lord.

I like how they say theres hardcore internet fans, and casual fans...NO, its 2016 WWE! Everyone is on the internet, everyone has an opinion, not everyone watches NXT, but they should. That match will get nxt chants and maybe some lolligaggers will hop on board. I remember when I first heard about it and thought it was still like fcw.

Not everyone lives and breathes wrestling like some of us. The casual fan has always been their main demographic and they're alienating the hell out of them. Just flinging guys on TV and acting like they matter will never work. WWE is not making the fans care. This is gonna blow up in their face eventually.

WWE is not making the fans care. This is gonna blow up in their face eventually. I guess I dont even know what a casual fan is. Those used to exist in the Attitude era because people could talk around the water cooler about what crazy stuff happened on wrestling. Now you HAVE to be invested because there isnt anything new other than talent. AND theres a million things to watch. Hell, I watch better call saul and thats in the middle of Raw.... My friends know who Stone Cold is and stuff, but none of them watch it with me. Its like they say about WWE selling oranges when the fans want apples....And whos is travelling all over the world to see WWE? Buy the figures/merch? Not casuals, diehards that save their money to take a Wrestlemania vacation or such... Its a B PPV anyways so casuals wont watch it im sure. Hell, some on here wont.
