Bobby Lashley is now the least over WWE champion ever since Raw had it's lowest rating ever with him at the top of the brand. :mjcry:

You have people who haven't been to a live event in over a year. The regular NBA and NHL seasons are over and the NFL doesn't start for another month or so so I would assume fans come out. Also Raw has been bad before the pandemic and fans were still going. :manny:

This is unrelated, but I remember reading an interview from Sasha where she was talking about the benefits of not having house shows and being on the road every night. Her body was healthier and she was sleeping a lot better. Now, they all have to go back to the old schedule. :mjcry:

If nothing else, the crowds for those first few shows back on the road are going to be :wow: and popping for everything. After a few weeks, people will realize the product hasn't changed and go back to being :unimpressed:.

“Ratings don’t matter..” is a phase i keep hearing for the past few years. And i still just look at y’all like :mindblown: when y’all say shyt like that.

Y’all are the same folks that told me that writer was going to be “alright” after she went on that podcast and we saw how that played out :sas1:

At this point I want AEW to go head to head with Raw on Mondays just so i can hear the excuses from y’all when Dynamite out performs them that “it doesn’t matter..”

Yeah okay..:sas2:

Hate that they gonna put all this on Lashley's shoulders and probably use it to not treat the black talent well going forward.
That being said... product been trash across the board except the black talent. Only shyt hitting on RAW and NXT been black folk, and Smackdown is an aberration because it's... not complete shyt as a show.
Someone please make Vince sell to Fox and not NBC.

What’s wild is that RAW has plenty of star power:

Lashley
AJ
Riddle
New Day
Cedric Alexander
Ricochet
Keith Lee
Dominik Dijakovic
Drew McEntyre
Sheamus
Naomi
Shana Bazler
Rhea Rhipley
Charlotte
Asuka


They just being written/booked by stand up comics/sitcom writers and Vince.

Plus it’s TOO long.

3 hours is overkill.

If they gonna do 3 hrs, they should do it like da NBA and NFL. Make the first hour a pre game type show, then the next two hours tha actual RAW show.

It’s funny cause it’s not like Raw is bad, it’s just boring as hell, can’t be boring like that and be 3 hours. At least from 2012-2014 there was a lot of stars and fukkery involving Cena, Punk, Bryan, Shield, Wyatts, Orton, Brock etc.

They need to fix the Women’s division too cause it’s been god awful, sure Bianca, Bayley, and Sasha have been great in the ring but the feuds themselves left a lot to be desired, same thing with Raw, the Charlotte & Rhea storyline is WOAT and the Alexa/Fiend shyt has run it course.

However, WWE does have a track record of revamping shows and making them feel fresh, albeit this only happens every few years and those changes only last a few weeks, so I’m expecting Raw to feel exciting and fresh when fans come back, at least up until SummerSlam before it goes back to being the same old shyt.

I only saw highlights of the Charlotte/Rhea segment and even the highlights exposed how awful their feud is, so I could only imagine sitting through that entire thing.

I don't think they're resuming house shows, just TV, so the travel probably won't be any worse for the people who don't live in Florida for the past year.

They are doing these "Supershows" during the weekends starting on July 24. It's on their ticket sale section of the website.

Oh weird. I thought they said house shows weren't profitable enough to resume them going forward, but I'm sure they'll probably charge huge money for these Supershow for a month or two.
