Cesaro has gone mia. Dunno why. Bring raw back to 2 hrs and cut the uncessary bullshit out and you will have a gem. Hell smackdown was where nxt was 10 years ago. Let smackdown be the wrestling show of the main roster and have raw to be the entertainment side.

Read in an interview with HHH that he wanted Raw back to 2 hours but they make much more money at 3. I agree it is too long though.

Rumour is that McMahon has become much more hands-on in the last month or so with the ratings slide. He is clearly not really a Cesaro fan.....

Of course that is a rumour only, and the internet lives on false wrestling stories hahaha.

3 hour show with a 1 hour recap of things that have happened in the show.

Exactly! I tape Raw, and generally can watch all the "new" stuff within 2 or so hours. Quicker if you fast forward the entrances!

Yeah heard vince being hands on again. H was running raw for a while woth vinces second in charge.

The cowboy james storm is now in nxt. Also did anyone see asura debut :shock : at take over respect

Yes - Asuka looks like a great addition to the roster.

They are debuting that Nia Jax on the next episode of NXT as well.

Listening to Talk is Jericho with the New Day: Vince made them and was convinced they would be faces, despite the gimmick clearly showcasing how good of a heel team they can be (I love Kofi and Creepy E as heels)

Get rid of half the diva shit, they're not entertaining or talented.

Push Cesaro as the new Orton (people say Cesaro has little charisma but Orton has always deviated around bland to bearable)

James Storm from TNA on NXT

Cesaro has been getting great crowd reactions of late anyway, not sure why he isn't being used now.

Yeah - heard that Jericho podcast with New Day - fascinating!

I think the Divas have so much more potential than what they've been able to show so far. So I disagree with you there. They just need to give them better stories. I think they are gradually developing them. But it will take time. I think the talent is there.

Posted that before you did. Strong rumours is that gunner wants in at nxt

Oh my god. Just watching Raw. How embarrassingly TERRIBLE was Roman Reigns on the mic.

Cringe city!

Haven't watched this in a few months.. something tells me i'm not missing much

Trips knows raw a s smackdown are struggling but cant do much since vince has final say. . Also paddi g out 3 hours for raw is stretching creative which isn't saying much.

3 hour RAW worked like once when it first started all those years ago lol.

-PB

3 hrs works if they do it once in a while. 3 hrs for raw plus 2 for smackdown plus 1 hr each for mainevent and superstars stretches creative . Hell raw is down on numbers so is smackdown but nxt numbers are up.

Does anyone remember the 3 hour episodes of Nitro when they were in their death spiral. Now THAT was painful.

At one stage Bischoff had a talk show segment hahahaha.

Wwe need some competition. And no tna isnt it. If they had a viable mainstream promotion it will make creative up their game. Sadly tna is just wwe lite and its on its death knell and yes i rememebr bischoffs talk segment.

Giving this thread a bump because the last 2 episodes of Raw have actually been good.

Finally the Divas Division seems to be moving forward - great Fatal 4-way match.

Tipping Cesaro, Ambrose or a returning Bryan to win the Rumble. They'll probs book it for Cena but

Tyler breeze has been booked strong so far . Hope they keep it up , imagine if he and ziegler team up after the whole summer rae thing .

Yep - they have done well with Tyler Breeze!

I must admit the tag team of Sheamus and Barrett actually looks ok. Might be a way to build them some heat.

They just seem to combine well.

If they do team them both up itll be good to see barett doing soemthing significant as he has been booked poorly

Rollins tore his ACL, MCL & meniscus on a house show - out 6 to 9 months. Tournament to crown new heavyweight champ at Survivor Series...

What a bummer! Please no Sheamus or Roman!

You know that's exactly what they'll do despite the fact that this is perfect chance to push someone like Ziggler or Cesaro.

Nah Vidot m8.

BRRRRROOOOCCCCKKKKKKKKK LLEEESSSSSSSNNNNAAAARRRRRRRR

So Samoa joe turned heel on bàlor. Good move i say as it changes the dynamic

Reigns - Bet your bottom dollar it will be him

I have managed to watch that breaking ground show on the network, Would recommend it actually quite interesting that show.
