For me, it had nothing to do with Owens/Zayn, I'll watch that match over and over again. It was Gallows/Anderson. That segment just made me not want to watch Raw anymore.
I've skipped that part based in my opinion about both the New Day and Gallows/Anderson. Now, after reading how much people hated it, I kind of want to watch it to see what is that all about haha

It was a go home show for SD, not Raw. Raw doesn't have a PPV this Sunday

As fans we shouldn't care about ratings because there's far more context there that we are not privy to
It was just boring and slow as fuck, and I like both teams

I think we're finally witnessing the results of an era where true charisma is an anomaly.
Save us Cena!

Oh, didn't think you'd spring for the ICW show. Will be great to have someone in the thread going.
See you at Brixton though!
I know I would instantly switch off knowing I was getting another Owens/Zayn match with zero consequences, that actively spites the outcome of the previous feud
Even if I was curious to see what that Sasha promo was going to be I probably would have dropped out a few minutes in.

Not even close to the worst segment on a wrestling show ever. It just went on for way too long and none of the comedy for it landed.
I like how even Zayn was like "Well shit, I thought they were done with that too.". The match that "ended" the rivalry was ridiculous, simply amazing, then the WWE decided to book another match for no reason, out of the blue and with no consequences.
That was mind-blowing, as if keeping them both in the same brand wasn't stupid enough already.

Yep. They kept listening to the fans who want them to always have matches. WWE should stop listening to the fans and focus on their vision.

Its not surprising at all. This is the same company that couldn't hold back demon king Finn for like 3 weeks until the PPV. They run everything into the ground, its just what they do. Same thing with the Gallows/Anderson doctor bits. They were mildly amusing, now lets give them like a 20 minute segment where we run the joke into the ground.
yes, totally the fans fault. I can't believe the fans would book this match. Did the fans not know that would bomb the third hour.
I'm not an MMA guy but Punk says his weight cut isn't going well and hasn't done a practice weight cut before and that is apparently A Very Bad Thing

Yep. If he's overweight for weighins he could lose a lot of the money he was to make from the fight, and if he's excessively overweight the fight can be cancelled
Fana would probably like to see a world title switch on every show and for heels to get beat by whoever is the fan favorite in every match. Yeah, sometimes it's better not to listen to the fans.

Dammnnnnn Meltz dropping F bombs about ziggler
How do you know they listened to anyone?
Maybe it was the only ideas creative had? Or something Zayn and Owens wanted to do? We have no idea.
Assumptions and conjecture rule the wrestling world.

They should've had the last two tag matches 3 tag matches on the card imo. An Uso turn on ppv would've been better.

Zayn and Owens being a thing isn't even really valid. Most of the people watching wrestling have zero hint at their past. It's just like us seeing Corbin and Ziggler, they don't come in with that baggage. Just tired of it.
Tempted to buy it even though I know I'd never make anything with it, I just want to say I saved $1500 legally.

They do because there were video packages before battleground.
What's he saying? And since when is Backlash in Sept? I thought it was after WM.

That's just WWE's footage, there's a lot more there indie dorks eat up and think are a holy grail
Fuck that matchup, and fuck their "history" - it's a blip compared to what they could do with others

Man, that is one dire card. I might watch AJ vs Ambrose, but hard pass on the rest. I'll be rooting for Miz though even if I'm not watching.

How about some context, RSS Bot? Are you not watching it live? Is Dave not? What "shoot" is he "shooting" on? Does he like the PPV setup? Does he hate it? Help
Also I'll be passing on the women's match due to Carmella being in it. She's got go-away heat with me.
I'm interested in messing with it, plus yeah that's a screaming deal.

Says that he doesn't care about any of the matches, and that while taking Alpha off the show was the right thing- they shouldn't rush the belts on them and they shouldn't loose either- it kinda killed the show. He loves AJ but can't stand watching Ambrose matches ever since the brand split. He plans on watching Night of Champions live because he believes he owes watching 1 PPV a month live.
Backlash hasn't been a PPV in almost 10 years.

AJ/Ambrose has to get my man AJ that title. I'll watch that, and Wyatt/Orton because I wonder if this is where they bring back Harper, and I wonder how they'll rehab Orton.

Well I kind of both agree and disagree with you
-their indy matches were fantastic, though a little too kick-out-of-10000-finishers for my liking
-it's a great story imo, and the wwf handled it well in the lead up to battleground, and in NXT
but
-they should have slept on it till they're ready for the feud to involve the title. They're not ready now and it was a laziness/panic mix brought on by balor's injury.
