Waldorf and Statler should've done commentary.

their last piece of commentary made last night gold.

Funny enough I'm surprised they didn't include C.M. Punk and Cener in the muppet antics.

I wonder what the actual attendance was for last night's Raw in Atlanta. The entire upper deck looked to be blacked out, which usually means that nobody is sitting there. Haven't really seen that since WCW Nitro in 2000.

That Sin Cara botch is fucking amazing.

Also, I demand a rematch for the Jobber Belt, or a run at the World Championship. My win streak has to count for something!

"I was at Philips Arena last night and it was the smallest crowd I've ever seen for Raw. No upper level seating and some of the 200's were covered as well. WWE usually reverses the stage and camera locations due to the arena layout, wanting to get upper level crowd shots, but this was so poorly attended, they went with their normal setup."

-from a live report


I really think this network could make them go under.

You guys missed the greatest Cara botch in recent history last night:

I like how he pounds the mat with his fist in frustration after that botch. It's like he's thinking,
"Fuck!, Vince is going to kill me when this is over."

Explains why they lost last night. Hopefully they just sit on the title for a month. Nobody's going to notice a tag title match missing during a tag-centric PPV like Survivor Series anyway.

Didn't he just take out a 250 million line of credit against the company for this network? There is no way this network will be a success. With declining ppv numbers and attendance at shows something has to give. There aren't going to be very many revenue streams left for them to make money.

Gonna be great when Vince makes WWE go under and Cena buys it off Vince. NEVER. GIVE. UP.

PWInsider sums up my feelings of how bad RAW was last night. What a crappy show with some awful booking. They really have no idea how to run this business anymore.

That's a good idea, I hope Cener does buy it. Vince's time is up his time is now.

I was at Smackdown for Houston and there was less people than when they came in March 2011 and Edge was still there.

Monster heel WHC knocked out by a shoe.
WWE champion loses clean to an injured #1 contender for WHC.
US champion jobs to a no-name jobber he beat just 8 days earlier on PPV.
Tag Team champs beaten by a makeshift team made up that night.

Just another episode of Raw.

At least the intercontinental champion came out strong. He even bagged himself a frog.

The product sucks and ticket prices are too high. It's not rocket science.

The Supershow format is a get out of jail free card for lazy booking and a sure fire way to kill PPVs even further.

TNA's tapings in Macon drew way more people than WWE did the last time they came for a house show.

That's because WWE house shows suck. At best, you'll get a practice PPV match or two, at worst, you'll get a family show with no previous advertisement of it being such. Seriously, I went to a house show in Albany, GA once that lasted 2 hours and the main event involved Big Show and Hornswaggle (that's all I remember about it). Big Show was the biggest star there and the champ Edge didn't even show.

Oh my fucking God I'm choking right now.

You're Not supposed to show Sin Botcha botching shit up without a disclaimer!

edit: I'm seriously dying here... dude flew literally on an imaginary zip-line and no-sold physical contact.

I hate to be negative but that was one of the worst shows I've ever seen. Every champion was crushed, nobody left with any momentum except for Cena, and the business has never come across as fake as it did last night. Honestly, I was disgusted with it last night and that's pretty damn rare. I realize it's just one show and things could easily change next week, but man that show really left a bad taste in my mouth. I won't give up on it though. Haven't missed a show in 17 years and will tune in next week hoping to see something more enjoyable than last night's effort.

Same. I've been to about 30 shows over the last 4 years and a good amount of them have been house shows. I've always enjoyed them and felt they were worth getting out of the house for the night.

Damn. I would be pissed. Are tickets same price as for raw and smackdown?

Probably about 3/4 of the price of a tv taping for a comparable seat. I haven't been back to a WWE house show since that one.

The Rhodes and Wade pairing made no sense. If Wade was talking about going solo and making his own name, why in fuck would he be pairing up with Co-

Fuck it, I'm not even gonna bother.
