I don’t like to wrestling shame because everybody likes what they like.. but HOW THE FUCK DOES ANYBODY WATCH THIS? It’s insane. Not even funny bad like late WCW. I haven’t really watched in years but this... this is the most embarrassing stuff in the history of television. Jesus Christ.

Yeah WWE's handling for this year's class feels very haphazard and rushed.

Could have just inducted last year's class for this year's ceremony and save this year's class for next year so it can get the spotlight it deserves. Instead feels like they are doing a new class for this year just for the sake of it and not because its needed.

Not even getting rid of the stink of Retribution helps Ali since Drew mostly squashed him tonight.

How Bruce Prichard still has a job in creative in WWE is a huge head scratcher since I doubt Vince is that naive to not realize RAW's creative has gotten way worse under Prichard's control.

Emperor Smeat 03-29-2021 11:00 PM

:| Corbin making a surprise appearance on RAW tonight.

This already shitty episode managed to get even worse.

RAW fucking blew tonight. Easily was one of the worst ever Road to Mania shows in recent years.

I thought maybe because I'm dealing with a flu/cold, tonight's RAW would be better by comparison even if it was its usual meh in quality but instead it was way worse.

Going to be outside saturday and sunday night.


thinking of holding a steel rod in the air during a thunderstorm.

Evil Vito 03-30-2021 09:56 AM

The Riddle backstage skits I've seen.......seems like the most mind-numbing gimmick imaginable. I can't believe anybody thinks it makes him look good or likable in any way.

It better be. They're one of the only great things going in wwe.

It feels like we say this every year, but this seriously is like, the worst build up to Wrestlemania ever.

I feel like the last good build was for Mania 34.

Of course hardly anything was paid off on the actual card, but the build to the card was really solid across the board.

Loose Cannon 03-30-2021 05:49 PM

I can't watch any WWE anymore as it's just cringeworthy but reading the results, I'm not shocked they decided to end the best thing Raw had going for the show. I guess they felt Lahley needed more heat or something :roll:

the whole company just seems like a huge cluster fuck right now.

I seriously wonder what the wrestlers are making. Andrade said he walked away from $3 million. If that guy had a $3 million contract, what are top guys like Roman or Lashley making?

i don't think he was making 3 mill that is aj styles money. unless that was a 5 year deal 3 mill for 5 years i see that.

Breaking up the Hurt Business is incredibly dumb. They're one of the few bright spots on this show.

Right, not per year, but he also didn't just sign a new contract recently. Probably 3 years at a Million per is what he walked away from, according to him.

Even more so because they were doing a slow build toward Shelton and Cedric imploding, and instead suddenly Lashley didn't like them?

Yeah. Arguably them, Drew, and Asuka have been the only good things about RAW in months. Maybe R-Truth as well but mostly for his antics and not the 24/7 title division in general.

The thing I don't understand is what was the purpose of Lashley breaking up the Hurt Business if he was just going to quickly align himself with Corbin afterwards. Think his bounty offer was only for the RAW locker room so it doesn't make that much sense for a SD guy to accept it.

Ruien 03-30-2021 09:20 PM

You really think he cares who does the deed? I don't think there was a Raw only stipulation on Lashley's offer.

Emperor Smeat 03-30-2021 09:30 PM

Even if the offer wasn't exclusive, WWE could have at least picked someone that was a lot more interesting to be a hired gun for Lashley than Corbin.

Could have also waited till the RAW after Mania to break up the Hurt Business since the big stip of them being barred at ringside for the WWE title match at Mania is now moot.

Lock Jaw 03-31-2021 01:41 AM

Lashely/Corbin/Drew as the top heels of RAW vs Roman/Seth was a bleak time.....

Evil Vito 03-31-2021 07:29 AM

WWE have tweeted the image of the Corbin/Lashley/McIntyre team from that bleak time...

Did they really break up the Hurt Business so they could do a "this team explodes" about a team everyone hated, had no real impact, and most people had completely forgotten about?

Why would we want to remember that the champion and his top contender were once lackeys to Corbin? Why would you ever bring that up?

Loose Cannon 03-31-2021 03:56 PM

lol Batista just blasted them for breaking up the Hurt Business. honestly, I can scream and say how dumb they are for doing that, but i'm not one bit surprised. it was getting over and so they canned it. simple as that.

I feel sorry for those who click on Raw tonight with fingers crossed that they get a good show. Spoiler, you won't.

Emperor Smeat 04-05-2021 08:13 PM

After all these years of delivering WWE style promos, Corbin still is pretty terrible with them and arguably has the oddest promo delivery in WWE history.

I had NO IDEA the HOF was airing tomorrow night until like 20 seconds ago when an ad for it was on RAW

Why even bother doing a rematch of Woods vs. Styles from last week if it was just a big nothing of a match in the end.

Its the only non-wrestling night of 9 straight nights of WWE programming starting today.

If you made it this far you may as well see if they do anything big or interesting on the post WM RAW. And when the answer is inevitably “no” you can have free Mondays again.

I can’t remember the last full Raw I watched. Beisbol for me tonight
