That Women's Tag Turmoil match has some great potential to be the worst match at Mania.

Then again the Women's Tag title match probably going to top it in awfulness.

owenbunny 04-05-2021 09:13 PM

The Miz sucks

Emperor Smeat 04-05-2021 09:16 PM

Didn't think it would actually be possible but this week's show is already trending to be even worse than last week's show.

3 matches so far and none of them have been entertaining.

slik 04-05-2021 09:18 PM

Feels like RAW has already been 3 hours long and we are barely in hour 2...

Emperor Smeat 04-05-2021 09:22 PM

One of the family cats suddenly spearing a wall in my room because she was chasing a fly has been more entertaining than tonight's RAW so far.

Emperor Smeat 04-05-2021 09:29 PM

Guess Billie Kay didn't get the memo that she nor whoever she finds for a tag partner isn't booked in the Women's Tag Turmoil match at Mania.

Knowing WWE, she somehow is going to be involved in that match and likely win it. Maybe even also win the Women's tag belts the next night because WWE logic is all over the place.

Billie Kay and Carmella were actually in the match graphic online for the show before Billie appeared on RAW

WWE should feel very lucky the NCAA Men's basketball title game is quickly turning into a blowout since RAW likely was going to get hammered badly tonight in ratings. Probably still will be based on the piss poor effort for tonight's show.

Well that's weird. Why show the outdated graphic on RAW when they could have just waited till after that segment to show the current one. Then again it also goes against what happened in that segment with Billie being mocked for not having a tag partner.

Everything about this year's Road to Mania on the RAW side just feels like a big mess.

Emperor Smeat 04-05-2021 09:58 PM

Fiend's new melty man look is way too goofy and/or funny to take him serious as a supernatural evil being character.

owenbunny 04-05-2021 10:00 PM

Bad Bunny best promo in WWE

Emperor Smeat 04-05-2021 10:01 PM

RAW Creative's bright idea to transition from a Miz vs. Bad Bunny match to a Miz & Morrison vs. Bad Bunny & Damien Priest match was just for Priest to say its now a tag match.

:lol: at "Booger T" line by Bad Bunny.

slik 04-05-2021 10:04 PM

maybe letting bad bunny cut a long promo was a bad idea...

Emperor Smeat 04-05-2021 10:04 PM

Why the hell did they have Bad Bunny give a long drawn out promo?

Was very rough in quality although it did have some decent moments for someone doing it for the first time.

GD 04-05-2021 10:06 PM

I cannot wait for the WrestleMania crowd to boo the fuck out of Riddle. He's truly unbearable.

Fignuts 04-05-2021 10:16 PM

Sheamus should wear his 1930s steel worker outfit as his in ring attire. Hat and all.

GD 04-05-2021 10:23 PM

Mustafa Ali is solid.

Fignuts 04-05-2021 10:25 PM

Bro Derek such a weak finisher

Emperor Smeat 04-05-2021 10:25 PM

Riddle vs. Mustafa Ali was good.

Easily was the best thing on tonight's show so far.

Emperor Smeat 04-05-2021 10:30 PM

Unless WWE has something else planned for the main event, seems Drew vs. Corbin is eating up the rest of tonight's show. Considering how boring Corbin's long matches typically are, it would be the cherry on top of a very bad RAW go-home show for Mania.

Fignuts 04-05-2021 10:33 PM

This might be the worst mania go home show of all time.

Without a doubt.

How USA Network feels any way happy with the piss poor product WWE is giving them for RAW during this year's Road to Mania is a big mystery.

At least SmackDown's Road to Mania has been mostly watchable and interesting even if some of the Mania build on their side leaves a lot to be desired.

Fignuts 04-05-2021 10:51 PM

I've enjoyed the Edge/bryan/Roman stuff.

Raw has had nothing but the Hurt Business and Asuka. Hurt Business is broken up (FUCKING WHY?!) and the Asuka/Rhea build was way too short to have any real heat behind it.

Emperor Smeat 04-05-2021 10:59 PM

Why did Corbin get way too much offense in this match?

All its did was make Drew's win in the end feel more like a fluke than making him look strong as a threat for Lashley's title.

Not too fond of it being a Triple Threat but the overall storyline has been a ton more interesting than everything else in WWE for Road to Mania.

Lacey and Charlotte being out for Mania screwed up whatever plans WWE had for Asuka's title build but doesn't excuse them being very lazy for her current feud. They went lazy with the setup for Rhea's challenge and extra lazy by redoing the "can they co-exist as a team" storyline they just did for Bianca and Sasha.

Emperor Smeat 04-05-2021 11:08 PM

This week's show was such a slog to watch and a toss up between this week and last week for which was worse.

This year's Road to Mania from the RAW side easily will go down in all-time worst tier territory.

All tonight's show did was made me appreciate AEW's mentality for their go-home shows a lot more. Its not perfect but AEW's booking and structure for them is a way better mix of entertainment and final touches for builds that WWE has been mostly lacking for their go-home shows in a while, especially on the RAW side.

Evil Vito 04-05-2021 11:19 PM

Lmao sounds like easily the worst go-home show ever and it means nothing because WWE already got paid and have no incentive to drive up Peacock numbers

slik 04-05-2021 11:59 PM

seems weird Bayley is not on the WM card after being one of the focal points of SD the last year

I hadn't really thought about this yet, but i guess does WWE even care anymore who watches the PPV's since they technically don't own the Network anymore?

I mean can you even purchase PPV's through cable? is that still a thing?

That could be really bad for the show quality going forward if they don't even care about eyeballs on their PPV shows.

erickman 04-06-2021 01:59 PM

yeah right now is the amount of people got peacock this week.

Several cable PPV providers are currently offering WrestleMania 37 for purchase but the price varies between $30 to $60 per night depending on the provider.

WWE still makes some money from the PPV sector for their events but its very tiny compared to in the past.
