If they are Dutch, upright and breathing they are more racist than your favorite player
I understand the impetus behind it, but damn I hate when shit gets announced ahead of time. Part of the problems wth RAW is the lack of surprises, so having them shoved in our face ahead of time is a bit disappointing.
You could quite easily have this and some surprises, but I doubt the creative team has any.
True. Makes you wonder how they will find a replacement for when he finally does hang it up.

Yeah. They have 5 hours a week of television to work with, and you're lucky to even get just one cliche plot point per week.

Semi related question, but I subscribed to the WWE Network, and while I'm using the iPhone app to watch, I also noticed an achievement in the Xbox One app that requires watching five episodes of Total Divas.
That's six too many, but I noticed that there's some episodes coming up on the live schedule. Can I just idle my Xbox One and get the five there? It's preferable to, well, actually sitting through that.

Xbox WWE app has achievements?! Amazing.
Netflix app does as well. Guessing it's mandatory for non-game apps too.
As for turbo's question, don't see why not. Just put it on in the background while you do something else for 5 minutes.

Never used the network app but if it's anything like Youtube or Twitch, you can snap it and have it running in the corner (in silence of you want) whilst you play something. You might also be able to just fast forward to the end, watch the last few seconds and potentially have that count towards the total.
I fell asleep while watching NXT and woke up to this achievement, so.....

Good. The only one that I think may be a problem is the one you get for watching a live PPV, at least until they get their shit together on the connection overloads happening all the time. Tried to get that one for the TLC PPV, but the connection error happened on my end.

You should be embarrassed for spending time trying to cheese lame-o achievements, not for watching solid entertainment like Total Divas where you can get in depth information on Daniel Bryan's poo habits, creepy bro Bella, and the rise to power of the red queen.

He'll blame Sheamus. Anything to avoid blaming Reigns and himself.

if they give hhh the title, i think their strategy is to give someone who is truly awful that the fans do not want as champ, so when reigns wins it from them they can say "well at least its not hhh/sheamus" and maybe they wont boo him. bold strategy cotton, lets see if it pays off
I hope they don't do that, he was good at one time but he is terrible now and would just make it even worst if he did that.

I skipped the last two RAW's in a long long time, I don't care as much anymore. Anyways, the ratings are higher than I thought.
yeah I haven't watched a raw since post wrestlemania and I don't care to watch another one till next post wrestlemania.
It was at one time a highlight of my mondays.

I think I fell asleep after the Chris Jericho segment. From what I've heard, I didn't miss much afterwards.

I watched Wrestle Kingdom and then like 5 minutes of Raw. Felt like a bad children's show in comparison.
Like NJPW is a kids show too, but it felt relevant and modern. I don't know what the hell Raw is or who it's supposed to appeal to. It's the blandest show on TV, despite the show's original purpose and branding.

The big difference for me is that NJPW treats wrestling like a real sport. Of course they have their share of buffoonery (it's Japan), but when there's two good competitors in the ring it actually feels like a competition, and the commentary reflects that. WCW was great at this too. WWE's never really been about that, but they've gone so far down the "Sports Entertainment" road that the matches rarely matter or have weight to them. Then the commentary doesn't help since all they do is shill, make jokes, and barely call the matches.
The modern WWE audience is also the worst i've ever seen. Either the crowd is dead, the women and children are cheering on John Cena or Roman Reigns, or the smarks are actively fucking up the show by booing those guys or chanting for someone who's not even there. "YES" is also the dumbest thing ever. How brain-dead are you guys?

NOBODY WANTS TO SEE SHEAMUS IN A TITLE MATCH.
Stop that shit.
Stop that shit.
A good fight is a good fight but a bad fight that ends with roman winning is awful. However, i doubt that will happen as Roman had been trying damn hard of late and it shows. Damn those people that disses him, blame booking and creative, not roman.But I don't want to see HHH lose after Roman attacked him for no reason
I hope wwe changes to the competition style of presentation for the less entertainment they attempt to provide the better. Nxt is proof of this in respect to proving their own ground.

They literally did a ten-minute segment that had a caveman singing a song to promote a cartoon cat that has been around since the 70s.
Doraemon hasn't lost popularity since the 70s.

More problems for Vince - Cena may not make the 'mania runup.

Isn't it true that USA basically mandated that they start the show with more Authority?
The authority have been opening almost every Raw, legit, since SummerSlam 2013...
And I wish that wasn't a real thing. But it is.

lol already lost that Rumble bump.
I don't watch even clips from Raw anymore. It is a nothing show. They have 3 HOURS of television and none of it means squat.

You missed Heyman getting mad at Cole for no-selling his commentary.

I don't know how people watch RAW live, I only watch the condensed 1.5 hour Hulu version and even then I forward through most of it as it's just really bad. I've got to the point where I just tell my brother to only watch the PPVs
