Watching raw now. Canny match with the shield and the real Americans.
 
Jesus Raw was painful last night, honestly two weeks away from Mania and we got Scooby f***ing Doo and two cocks to promote their new movie. Shouldn't you be promoting your biggest PPV event of the year instead?

The short term booking of Mania seems to really shite in my opinion, apart from Bryan and Cena
it all seems so half arsed - build up for the Taker match has been terrible compared to last year.

It was crap until the last hour or so. They really don't need RAW to be 3 hours long. If it is, they could at least use the time they are wasting (as you've pointed out) to build storylines that make sense building up to WrestleMania. There's 7 Matches confirmed so far and only two of them have titles on the line. What's the point of having the IC and US Titles if they aren't defended on PPV?

I thought the last hour or so was good, enjoyed the HHH promo, Cena v Harper was a class match with a class ending, Shield v TRA was a very good match too and the Taker segment was alright, Lesnar is unintentionally hilarious on the mic!

It wouldn't be so bad if they just let some of the smaller names have matches instead of replaying things four or five times during the three hours. Smackdown's the same, just loads of repeats of the previous RAW.
 
The shield saved raw. Probably story of every raw since the last WM.

Enjoyed the fatal 4 match too. Didn't really have to watch the rest of the show.

Not good enough for the week before mania.

Yeah, back watching Attitude Era as a kid it seemed like even the opening and mid-card guys had feuds and time to get a story and their character across whereas now it's like, hey look its the Usos they're in a tag match, oh its a title match and they've won new champs kthxbai.
 
Betty "Golden Girls" White. Arnold Schwarzenegger. The Muppets. And now even Scooby-Doo! What is it with the WWE?! Do they like making a mockery of wrestling by having all these celebrities on Monday Night Raw?! Or is their roster and quality of wrestling so piss poor that they need these TV celebrities to prop up their ratings?!

What? Look like a shite product?

Doesn't even tell you when the event is, also £12 for TNA is desperate. They're struggling to even get a TV deal renewed, if that goes...They're gone.

I would be more bothered if the product was actually shit rather than how shit it looks on a poster. Anyhow, a poster only advertises the event. How in the name of all that is holy can it tell you how good the product is?!

Regarding the price, what TNA lacks on fireworks and explosions it more than makes up for in wrestling. For $12 it is a chance I am happy to take. Why go to a WWE event for a massively exorbitant prices when you can see a TNA show with a quality of wrestling that for me is only slightly behind the WWE for only $12? What you see is desperate, I see as simply being affordable

Also, regarding the 'troubles' in TNA, Samoa Joe said to The Mirror newspaper:

“I honestly think it’s being blown out of a proportion … I think I’m beyond just sitting here and knocking people for what they do, but I mean, I see the company doing well.

“I think it’s growing … I would love the company to build, and tear up those preconceptions so we can be seen in a better light … You can sit here, speculate all you want, or you can get something done and make a difference.”

I am sure every promotion has problems. Why make TNA's a particular exception?

To be fair though as awful as this will sound with Paul Bearer dying they had that to go off. If that didn't happen I don't think the build up would have been that good tbh.

Looks like you're trying to say TNA isn't shite, which by the way, it really is
 
Raw was far better last week. I still think raw should go back down to 2 hours.

Also wtf is cena's new shirt playing at? It's f***ing horrendous

Can you explain why they only got 700 people in for Lockdown?

TNA are simply an indy fed trying to pass themselves off as major league. I'm by no means knocking indy wrestling but TNA need to stop seeing themselves as WCW 2.0
