Like I said: enjoy things until the day after the post-Mania Raw.
If Bryan's not back by then, he isn't coming back.

I just woke up from almost 6 hours sleep, and I feel good. I just looked at WWE Youtube, and I don't think there's one clip I want to watch from RAW. Better luck next time to those that decide to watch, I hope your luck changes soon.

So the opening to RAW is basically the fight scene from Anchorman?
It is funny how they took the time to form all of these 4 man teams...after survivor series.

You missed the best part, where Tommy Dreamer not only pinned one (simultaneously eliminating them all) in the opening match, but lost to another in a squash in the closing match
The rare same-show win exchange
the year is 20xx
mecha vince books every match on the show twice, so each participant can split wins
everyone is 50-50

Owens vs Ambrose is the only halfway interesting match and maybe that tag ladder match has some cool spots. Rest are meh.
I'll probably skip this one too.

Bryan's not coming back. I've accepted it, and so should everybody else. WWE don't want to risk it and don't want to risk fans revolting against their plans for him again.
Did we ever hear what his third doctor had to say about him? If the third doctor gave him the go ahead, I have to imagine he'll try to request out of his contract, maybe do Lucha Underground and/or NJPW.

" Dudleyville... population... zero, as of this sunday, you will cease to beeee heheheheh... Tommy Dreamer? We'll send you off into a permanent dreaaam heheheh... Rhyno? We'll swarm you like buzzards, waiting for their next meal and take your prized horn of ivorryy hehehehe... This Sundayyyy, me and my Family will tear you all apart limb from limb, just how we have those who came before you...*.You claim to be 'extreme'... heheheh.. we'll show you who the new face of extreme is. CHET! "
*Why(are they wyatts still around?)ats haven't won any feud like ever since Bryan.
You mean the same as everyone in the WWE?

everyone loses their feud. Even when they feud with each other. You only lose less than the other guy.

They haven't met yet apparently. I imagine WWE won't make a serious push for him to get a third opinion until at least the second the Rumble's over just in case.

LOL, I'll just quote myself right about now;
Of course the Okada MVP pick was political, the narrative is that Okada's the new ace and everything will be done to ensure that - while smarks may roll their eyes and get all pissy, they aren't the people the awards are aimed at, but rather casual fans or those who don't follow wrestling but will now know that "oh, this is the guy who's a big deal right now". The MOTY pick was mostly for Tenryu, though. Because he was the man and deserved to go out with some extra recognition.

I wonder if Daniel Bryan will meet Cena for his Make-a-Wish

There's no doubt Tenryu/Okada had more attention than any other match in Japan this year and that's very likely why it received MOTY. Don't worry about it too much. If it wins MOTY from any other source, then complaints will be deserved

The Wyatts are basically those goth kids in high school that got beat up all the time
Bray's beaten Ambrose (which honestly felt more like Wyatt and Ambrose just got it all out of their system rather than a definite "Bray won the feud"), Jericho, and Ryback. He actually wins most of his feuds, but they have no consequences so it doesn't feel like that.
Ryback especially was hilarious, because he came back literally the next night like nothing happened and won the IC title shortly afterward.
EDIT
List of feuds Wyatt won: Kane, Kofi, D-Bry, Ambrose, Jericho, Ryback
List of feuds Wyatt lost: Cena, Undertaker (twice), Reigns

As I'm reading these posts, is there anything good that happened on Raw. And what's this about Becky being German?
nah cause that should be poor ol' Go who channeled Kobashi's 2003 reign with his constant match quality even with shit opponents

Well, we know who made who strong.
I understand sacrificing Kane and Jericho, but the burial of Kofi, Bryan Ambrose and Ryback have me scratching my head.
It feels awesome not watching RAW at all anymore. Even better not even feeling the urge to skim through later. Reading the Reddit Post RAW thread does the job.
Between Fallout 4 and Witcher 3 I've had no time spare time to watch much wrestling, let alone wrestling that has some of the most uninspired and shit booking I've ever witnessed in my 29 years.

I'm about to watch RAW. It sounds like it's an all time low for the show. Was it a train wreck?

If a tree falls in a forest, but there's no one around to hear it...? I guess making a 25 minute Zeus match watchable does deserve some recognition, though.
I mean... I can't imagine there's a huge crowd difference inbetween a NOAH and an AJPW match in 2015

I haven't watched RAW consistently since the shift to PG in 2008. I don't know how the hell everyone has continued on.
I used to be that guy that absolutely had to have the TV on RAW where ever I was on Monday. No longer.

Elimination Tables match should end with Stroman putting the Dudleys through a table at the same time.
WWE needs to find a different formula for Raw. Even changing it around is doing NOTHING. 20 minute promos need to die. Bring back jobbers. Bring back inset promos, and 3-4 minute videos of upcoming talent. Anything would be better than 20 minute promos and shit like that.
When one of the highlights of Raw is Ryback jumping over the top rope to the outside, you know something is wrong.

I jumped back on in early 2013. I thought things were turning over. I was wrong.
Upside, it got me into NXT, who's Network specials have been some of the most enjoyable wrestling programs for me in a long while.

20 minute promos from people who can't talk need to die. They are fine if engaging people are doing them.
Yep. All I watch is NXT now. The show in Brooklyn is my show of the year. Such a fucking fun atmosphere.

Just passed two kidney stones tonight, and it sounds like a better time than tonight's Raw.
It appears your two kidney stones passed straight through to main event RAW.
20 minute promos need to die, period. I dont' care if it's 80s Terry Funk and Billy Graham on there. Dusty Rhodes Hard times promo isn't even 4 minutes. Jake Roberts' Million Dollar Man promo isn't 2 minutes.
The promos go on for SO fucking long and they're ALWAYS the same. The wrestler ALWAYS fills time by walking out to the ring and cutting their long winded promo and has someone else come in to interrupt them and cut a promo that eggs on their long winded promo. It's so fucking sloppy that it feels like it WAS scripted by a wrestling company rather than the old days of feeling like an actual real television company was setting up a wrestling show. Some in-ring promos are fine, it worked wonders for Austin and the NWO but so did their backstage vignettes.
Shit is just so fucking boring and by the numbers now from every aspect of the company, from their developmental training progrmas to their main shows to their pay-per-views. It's the phoniest show on television in 2015.

People just wanna cry cuz the show doesnt match their memories of their childhood. Fuck outta here.

A few hundred fans in NOAH's favour, but it's also about press coverage - the Suzuki-gun invasion got a lot of attention, I don't think AJPW's got a cover feature since Go won the Triple Crown.
