So what's the consensus on RAW Underground?

[ALTRUISM]

I see the words 'RAW' and 'Underground' and all I can think bout is

 

[Jello Biafra]

the MOTHERfukkING CAMERA CUTS AND SHAKES DURING EVERYTHING...Holy shyt, could they have done a worse job producing this? Does Dunn not realize that you're supposed to see the action in a combat sport broadcast (or a reasonable facsimile)? How do you forget rule one of your own core competency?

There was a post on the Reddit wrestling sub that said one of the Raw Underground segments was only around 2 minutes but had 75 quick cuts in it.

I totally believe you, too. I remember counting around 30-35 one time for about a minute of action.

I watched the RAW Underground segments after my post-work edible kicked in and legit almost threw up. Terrible stuff.

Ratings were up slightly last night they did well in the 18-49 demo. But the highest rated segment of the night? Sasha vs. Shayna

So this is basically predetermined, fake MMA?

NJPW wants a piece of the American Stan war business

 

[Reality Check]

Man..... I don’t know (or won’t say rather) if this was good or bad


But all’s I’s knows is the same people defending this or praising Vince and the WWE for trying something new are the same people that shytted on companies like TNA who used to have 6 sided rings, reverse battle royals, king of the mountain matches, ultimate X matches, and etc for trying something new.

They still laugh at that at that first TNA vs RAW Monday Night War ep with Homicide and etc in the red steel cage, and WCW with the 3 cage match among some other WCW gimmick matches.

And there was a trying something new gimmick matches/angles matches that AEW has done a few weeks/months back that the same folks laughed and shytted on

So I think we need to first acknowledge that or is that gonna be one of those

things

Reverse Battle Royal was a terrible concept that was rightfully shyt on by TNA fans as it was happening.

Not feeling it yet. You got nikkas squaring up, blocking punches and getting TKOs during Underground and none of that on the rest of the show. Its inconsistent and breaks immersion.

And only weirdos are gonna watch fake MMA for any decent period of time.

To be honest, RAW Underground is better suited as a youtube 5 minute show than as 3 different segments on hour 3. But I understand their need to find something new/different, specially now that ratings are hilariously bad.

All that being said, I'm not checking RAW every week just to laugh at this fukkery. I'll check youtube and that's about it
