This Raw Underground/Shane McMahon thing is terrible. I know most of the stuff they have done at the performance center has been bad, but this is the new big idea to help against falling ratings?

I have been watching parts of Raw and Smackdown since March. With no live sports to watch or coaching responsibilities, I figured I would give it a shot again. I just can not get into it.

_________________

I've pretty much been the same. I would probably watch the 4 big ppvs each year, but nothing much beyond that. I came back due to covid boredom. What they did tonight was just complete garbage.

_________________

The first hour and 15 was really good; the rest was somewhere between really bad and “WTF is this shit???”.

Yeah, that was atrocious. Between that, Montez Ford getting "poisoned", another non-finish in the Shayna/Sasha match, Cult Leader Rollins and Rey's kid, and the 24/7 title, that show was damn near unwatchable.

The first hour and 20 minutes or so was decent. I liked Apollo/MVP, and this McIntyre/Orton program is going to be fun. The rest was the drizzling shits. But hey, Heyman's gone (fine), but they're back to pushing 45 year olds over other talent....good times.

Vince: Hey, remember Brawl for All?

WWE Writer: Yes Vince, everybody hated it.

Vince: Let's do that again, but this time let's make it all fake!

Douchebag: What. The. Fuck.

With Shane showing up, I thought they would do something big. They would have been better off just sticking with the status quo compared to this Raw Underground trash.

They need to end the brand split and unify all the titles. That would at least get them through Survivor Series. There's zero reason to split the rosters right now since they are all filming in the same place, and they film two weeks worth of shows over the course of two days. Just load up all the talent you can across both shows.

AEW bringing back fans next week.

I'm interested in seeing what WWE is going to do with their new setup at the Amway Center. I'm sure they will find a way to make it terrible. Hopefully everyone involved with Raw Underground gets lost somewhere in the building forever.

Thunderdome will be interesting for sure.

Prichard hinted towards this a few weeks ago on his podcast. Definitely looks better on TV with the video crowd.

I think it looked dumb in the opening segment.

And removing them from the entrances seems silly.

Who knows. Maybe it will find its footing.

Vince looks like he's aged 20 years in the past 6 months.

I feel like the WWE has taken a step back with Thunderdome. I'm just not a fan. They should have kept some of their live audience and combined it with the virtual fans. The piped in crowed noise is just over the top, and out of place in many parts. The added entrance effects are nice though.

I'm still wondering what they have planned for this retribution group. I'm kind of hoping Reigns is involved with them, and maybe some of the other guys who refused to work earlier during covid. I'm wondering if they are just going to bury The Fiend again just so they can put the belt on Reigns quickly.

They looked bigger this week than in previous weeks.

I agree on Thunderdome. Plus you get the KKK people and it really is just asking for trouble.

I really hope Retribution strikes on Sunday to help Reigns win.

That would work out well.

Watching some old Prime Time's. Of course Heenan is brilliant

Heenan (to the Rosatti sisters): Why dont you 3 go huff and puff and blow a house down

Rosatti sister #3: We'll blow you down!

Heenan: Now, you're talkin


Also, Fugi's first interview after dumping Demolition for Power of Pain


Fugi: Demolition, you cross double me!

Latest conspiracy theory is Wade Barrett, who was all of a sudden a “guest” for commentary on NXT last night - and who will be on commentary again for next week’s episode.

Thunderdome is fine. You already had the fake noise with the development wrestlers in the crowd. Its a unique look.

Sherman remarked, "Well, Grant, we've had the devil's own day, haven't we?" Grant looked up. "Yes," he replied, followed by a puff. "Yes. Lick 'em tomorrow, though."

They weren't in the swimming pool beforehand.

That would be terrible.

AEW sounds great with the fans in the crowd.

The Dark Order segment tonight was gold. I legit LOLed when they started chanting “Cody Sucks”, and then “You deserve it” to Brodie. And the whole Brodie/John Silver dynamic is funny as hell (this week’s BTE may be the best bit the D.O. has done yet)

Well, WWE’s gonna WWE, so...

The whole thing has been dumb, so why not do a Nexus reboot to seal the deal?

Reigns would be the only wow factor guy to make part of retribution and I don't see WWE making him a mega heel. I'd also pull in some of the other guys who refused to work during covid, and they could make this thing fun. But it will never happen.

It was great.

I wish they didn't get cleared out so quickly though.
