[hymen man]

J&J

 

[Peep Game]

 

[brendasdeadbaby]

How many people have that clothesline as a finisher?

 

[chennylou]

They did a Stuart Scott tribute? had the channel changed

The commentators just had brief words

 

[timelessflight]

this Raw sucks

 

[100proof]

RAW is doing a great job of making me miss MNF

Shoulda watched Sleepy hollow

 

[ao17]

Now what's the damn point of these 2 being out here?..

The Authority's trying to get back at Team Cena I suppose.

Dolph got screwed earlier.

 

[joe cool23]

Jamie Noble is just a funny dude 

 

[Cashflow]

I don't understand where you guys are seeing a cluster F. It's pretty clear as day The Authority is paying back Team Cena now that they are back in power. I'm sure Ryback comeuppance is coming up in a few segments.

 

[brendasdeadbaby]

Why do we watch this trash again?

I see you deepsea jr

 

[liquidswords]

This is the most stacked the roster has been in years but this is garbage

 

[chennylou]

Luke Harper is probably one of my favorite wrestlers to watch right now

 

[hymen man]

you gon' learn today...

 

[green rhino123]

harper looks to smell of piss & vinegar

 

[bigego24]

Wow. This episode has been subpar. Authority screwing dudes over again for the umpteenth time. **** is expired milk. Has me feeling sour. :x Y'all continue to spread the word about New Japan. WWE gonna have to feel the heat eventually...

 

[johnnyredstorm]

I just don't get why they consistently do such a terrible job?

 

[chennylou]

I don't understand where you guys are seeing a cluster F. It's pretty clear as day The Authority is paying back Team Cena now that they are back in power. I'm sure Ryback comeuppance is coming up in a few segments.

True...all of them are getting buried

 

[electricllama]

This just isn't entertaining. I don't think there's a problem with "getting" the story or not, the stories just plain suck.

 

[johnnyredstorm]

This herb has had the same gimmick for 12 years.

 

[Meangene45]

I feel like Sheena died

 

[B Sox]

Pretty obvious what the theme of tonight's show was going to be. It just isn't entertaining.

They rarely get the right combo of story + wrestling. But otherwise they'll give us a match we don't care about, or sacrifice having good wrestling for the sake of whatever story is ongoing. The writing is abysmal and hurts everyone involved except Cena and the McMahons

 

[electricllama]

What other company willfully disparages their roster/staff for the sake of a story? 

WWE is just one big frat house

Exactly.

This herb has had the same gimmick for 12 years.

Cena is a partial reason why the stories suck. He gets all of the attention.
