WWE RAW Reaction 8-31-15
Honestly, I was bored by last night's episode of RAW. Not good.
My RAW Reaction reports will be categorized in four sections, Great, Good, bad, Pathetic. Let's waste no time and get to it.
My RAW Reaction reports will be categorized in four sections, Great, Good, bad, Pathetic. Let's waste no time and get to it.
Great
- Though I'm sure he will suck really soon, they did everything they could to get over Bruan Stowman, the newest member of the Wyatt's, as a monster heel. I thought this was great. The guy has a great look, can talk, and has impressive size and moves well. Ambrose and Reigns did their best to get him over.
Good
- Kevin Owens defeated Cesaro in another great match in their series. The action was was great, but I couldn't put it in the great section because I'm sick of Cesaro losing every damn match. WTF!!! This guy is to great to be losing all the time. He's clearly more talented than the guys they are protecting. Its pissing me off and I'm sick of seeing great talent squandered.
- Promos were a highlight of the night as Sting opened with a very good promo, though I hated the HHH angle in it, I actually like Ryback's backstage promo, which was very good, Bubba Ray Dudley cut one of the best promos I have seen on WWE television from a person not named Paul Heyman in a long time. He was excellent. Clearly his great mic skills from TNA have carried over. And John Cena ended the show with a good promo as well.
Bad
- This contrived, fake, phony storyline they concocted with Ziggler, Summer Ray and Lana was just bad. Borderline pathetic, but Lana is sexy so it earned a few extra points because she was seen on screen several times. Although I miss confident and arrogant Lana. She was much better. This story they came up with has nobody fooled and is so far fetched and stupid. It makes Lana look dumb that she hasn't seen through it.
- Prime Time Players on Commentary. I'm over it. Why are they thee every week? They add nothing. They just talk over the action and it takes away from what is happening in the ring. Titus used to be funny, now annoying.
- I know I'm getting repetitive but I'm so over this Give Divas a chance bullshit. These Beat the Clock matches were shit. I don't understand why they refuse to let the girls who can actually work work with each other. The crowd continues to shit on these girls and when they come to Baltimore next week, I will lead the charge of they present more garbage.
- Ryback pinned Big Show and as expected, it sucked.
- They buried the New Day in the death spot in the show at 1030pm, and the crowd was hushed and tired. New Day has been the hottest act and should have been out there early, but nope. then they lost to the 50 year old Dudley Boys. Smh. Why can't young talent get booked strong.
Pathetic
- I absolutely hate how this entire Sting vs Seth match is angled in a way to get over that Seth isn't half the man that HHH is. Its another excuse to puff up HHH's ego and make him bigger than ever actually was. I hate it. Especially that stupid emasculating promo Stephanie cut at the beginning of the night when talking to Seth. So stupid to book for United States and World Champion like he's some joke. Why!!!!!
- I absolutely hate Stephanie McMahon. She buries talent way too much.
Seth Rollins will wrestle twice at Night of Champions. He will face Sting for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, and also take on John Cena for the U.S. Championship. Funny how a champion with two title matches on the next PPV really spent most of the show building up a match with HHH, who didn't even appear.
Overall, This show sucked. See you next week with my live report from Baltimore.
