Yeah that Brock segment to start was awful. They have no idea how to do comedy at this point. It just came across as stupid. Then the awful Shane segment.. then the women's tag match that was bad. Even my wife commented how awful everything is and how they seem to have not a clue what they are doing. I'm to the point now where I think I may just take both Raw and Smackdown off my DVR recordings every week. There is nothing redeeming to watch at all right now.

Also it's pretty gross this whole Saudi Arabia thing. Actually it's really gross. I mean I'm not going to watch the show anyways, but the whole thing is just gross. I'm not even talking about replacing AJ Styles with Baron Corbin in the Rollins match... but just the actual fact they that not only went once but keep going back. The optics are so bad but they don't even give a F because of the $$$$.

I can't get over the fact Shawn Michaels came out of retirement for that.

I thought I read that they have a 10 show contract, which is just foolish on their part. Did a search before I hit post, and it's a 10 YEAR contract, not 10 show, which is even worse.

Can't have women wrestle, can't have certain men wrestle because of where they are born, can't have others wrestler because of their religious beliefs and/or the tattoos on their bodies. Some of the wrestlers are refusing to go, which should be a sign that **** ain't right.

But Vince will do anything for a buck, which isn't surprising at all.

They’ll keep going unless every big name refuses to go and the Saudis have to sit through a 3 hour episode of Main Event.

Talk is Jericho with Mox. Awesome so far

They did a big the ending of the Shield show and paid him $500 calling him an extra. WWE sounds like clown shoes.

One thing no one can say is just rumor or talk is how maniacal Vince is. Every single person that does interviews like this, the stories they have are all the same. The guy is out of his mind.
Also, all the juvenile humor that makes you embarrassed to be caught watching and makes you think "that's probably Vince's idea," sure enough, it always is, and he thinks that stuff is hysterical.

It makes sense that Vince is close with Trump

he slips and calls him Dean Ambrose in the first minute

Jericho’s ad reads are awful due to the super fake intros. What is he thinking. Just do a behind the bastards and say “aaadddsssss” not “oh that’s great you want to talk about xyz and we’ll get to that but I want to talk about buy this ****.”

Postby **nocera** » Thu May 30, 2019 9:25 am

I stopped listening to Talk Is Jericho a while ago and honestly that was one of the reasons for quitting. He's just so phony. And those 20 minute intros of him singing and telling horrible jokes were (are?) so cringe-worthy. I liked Jericho a lot more before I started listening to his podcast.

The Mox podcast is still great. It also shows why the first time I listened to Dean on TIJ that he seemed SUPER lame. He was just unhappy.

I am waiting for the day that Sheamus is renamed Ginger Mahal.

I briefly turned it on last night. Saw Reigns open the show with Shane coming out almost immediately after. That was enough for me. I turned over to the Cup game and never even bothered looking back during commercials.

RAW has now made it to the point where I won't even seek out recaps for the show. If there are things posted here, it's different since I'm already hanging around in NHR, but I'm not gonna go out of my way to see what I missed.

AEW is coming soon!

Postby **nocera** » Wed Jun 05, 2019 11:16 am

Good news, guys. Raw is coming back to Pittsburgh on August 5th. Presale is tomorrow with the offer code RAWTV. Don't all rush out at once.

Postby **shafnutz05** » Wed Jun 05, 2019 11:37 am

Man, that wildcard rule sure is turning out well.

Postby **nocera** » Wed Jun 05, 2019 12:25 pm

I haven't watched or even read recaps since the wildcard rule was introduced but let me guess: All the same stars on both shows so Smackdown is now just a 2 hour extension of Raw?

Postby **iamjs** » Wed Jun 05, 2019 12:34 pm

based on the minute I saw on Monday, probably.

This company is putting on Goldberg vs. the Undertaker in 3 days.
