Apples and oranges. Even if you don't take the fact that no one on the current roster has 1/10 the character or presence of a Jake/Macho/Warrior, they're totally different products, though still both wrestling, and both can be seen as cartoony.

I think it shows how poor the acting is, or as you said, the definitive stature of said characters. I would expect Kofi or Big E to start shaking their hips as Bray's trying to cut this srs promo. Anyway, I don't care. I'm going to watch the Jake/Warrior segments again.

Even has the music to aid the creepiness.

Oh this is real real good. What a strange time in wrestling when this is making TV.

Imagine if Raw was 2 hours. Or even less.

lmao Vader

I saw Ospreay's entrance at the show,
the Vader mask, definitely the high point of this feud so far

I'm only through the rumble for the IC contender, but my man Backlund!!! I'm sitting on the train and just almost yelled when Darren Young won the rumble. Backlund picking him up and spinning him was just perfect.

Rollins Report was his best segment since being about to curbstomp Edge.
which is pretty much all the good I have to say about this weeks show, Rollins and Ambrose did good and the rest was Raw by the numbers as expected.

Man they really cocked up the New Day/Wyatt bit, they got invited out in the middle of the bayou for a night time brawl that overstays its welcome and effectively ends without any actual climax or plot progression. Like why did The New Day even go? I was expecting there to be some Wyatt mumbo jumbo promo stuff.

The Review-A-Raw intro clip was Shane saying that Steph "Had seen this movie before"

It's like Fox/DMs "WM2000 is still happening" bat signal.

Sort of like how on the Raw before Royal Rumble Steph said it isn't 1999 anymore then she took part in a rigged draw angle that was done almost identically to the one from 1999.

The New Day went because Big E and Kofi wanted to go because they weren't taking the Wyatts seriously. Xavier was like "You know what I'll go with you but we're going to get annihilated, these guys are a serious threat".

Big E and Kofi put too much stock in that Cena burial from a few years back.

I thought the Wyatt compound segment was really good. I don't get the final deletion comparisons at all. Granted I didn't watch all of Deletion but it just didn't seem too similar. Is it just because they were so close together? I think people are putting too much stock in it being a copy cat.

If there was a boat and fireworks then sure, but Wyatt
Compound was more 70s horror to me

I have to agree. It's not comparable to final deletion at all and I don't think the intent was to copy the success of that.

It would be one heck of a quick turnaround for the Compound bit to have been a reaction to the final deletion, they set it up last Raw after all and while we knew the final deletion was coming later that week I can't imagine Vinny Mac was like "Oh shit, the Hardy boys have something big planned and you know it's gonna be good dammit!"

Strowman actually came off looking pretty strong for once, just beating the shit into them and stuff while running all over the place shirtless. Funny given just yesterday he was being discussed here.

There's something very strange about Vince having booked his former mortal enemy who nearly put him out of business, to have made out with both Vince's wife and daughter.
Click to expand...
Not as strange as Vince being determined to do an incest story line between himself and his daughter, only to suggest his son take his place when Steph said she didnt want to do it.

Judging by Shane kissing Stephanie on the chin and her blowing a kiss to him, I think Vince finally got his wish.

New SD logo???

I love it. Looks a lot better than the current design. A bit retro and a bit like the Raw current logo.

I wonder if they will spring for a separate set design.

Are they really gonna call it Smackdown Live? They did always refer to it as that last night.
Click to expand...

It's a good way to make sure the "live" part is getting out to people who might not watch regularly. I don't mind it. They'll probably drop it after a year or so.

I mean...is the crowd bored of booing Cena? They've been booing him for almost a decade.

And Reigns is the one being pushed down everyone's throats now, so I think it won't stop anytime soon, unless the WWE decides to take him to a different direction.

The crowd is actively booing the prospective of a Shield Triple Threat. Roman has been so thoroughly poisoned nothing short of a total character reboot will suffice.

It's going to be fascinating if they really are full steam ahead with him (in their own awful way of "full steam ahead") when he gets back.

Yeah I think I like the logo but there is something not quite right about it. Can't put my finger on it. Thank god it isn't a flat color sans serif logo or something like that.

Separate set design sounds expensive and they are already dropping a lot of money on this venture. I wouldn't get your hopes up. They probably would have promoted it already if they were doing that I think. At least they should have.

How in the world did Mideon have a job? He looks worse every time I see him. Survivor Series '99 is a new low. He looks like some dude I'd see at a local show in Tulsa.

Give it a year and you'll see way more of Mideon than the law should allow, so to speak.

He needs to come back and not talk. Maybe one promo where he says, "I'm done talking" and that's it. Any time anyone interviews him, they hold the mic up to him and he just punches them in the face and walks off. Or grabs their arm and does a short-arm clothesline to them and walks off. If it's Renee and she asks him some dumb shit, he just stares at her like "if this was Attitude Era I would piledrive you" and he walks off. Or, he just smirks and walks away. He can convey his character without dumbass story time and he's proven he can't play to the crowd, so silent wrasslemurderer should be his new shtick. Not Rock 2.0, but more like Nailz on PCP.

He needs to be mad because he tried to be good, he tried to be bad, and none of it worked, so fuck it and fuck the fans and fuck WWE superstars, he's gonna clobber the shit out of fools. No more stupid Superman punch, it always looks shitty and weak, even with the camerawork trying to invent some kind of impact for it. Maybe he keeps the spear, but he loses the vest. If people say "you look sloppy without your vest Roman", there's a skit later where they're walking and a 30-pack of bud light falls on their head and knocks them out. Or there's a shot where the person is walking around a corner and you see their body buckle, because Roman gave that asshole the heart punch and crumpled their ass for daring to talk shit.

And in the meantime, he can become a little more defined physically and at next year's Wrestlemania he can pin Undertaker and Brock simultaneously as he mouths "fuck wrestling this shit is stupid" to the camera or something.
