I don’t understand the point of the Slammys. It’s not something that anyone takes seriously, it stopped feeling like something special years ago, it’s just a tired gimmick that served no purpose other than to interrupt the show. I like Roman Reigns but I don’t believe for a second that fans voted him as superstar of the year, so on top of all that, it’s bollocks too.
John Laurenitis, Santino, Booker, Steamboat, RVD etc. It’s good to see (some of) them but it’s just novelty shit and has no meaning and I have no interest. Guest hosts always suck too no matter how much I like whoever it is, more goofy shit to skip.
The only parts I liked were the Bray Wyatt and Howlin’ Mad Dean Ambrose promo/brawl and the brawl after the main event. Everything else felt like inconsequential filler. The New Day/Rhodes feud feels stale already after like 10 minutes. No interest in seeing Cena v Show again, not that I ever was interested in seeing it.
Not only is Raw getting increasingly more difficult to watch because they haven’t got enough shit going on to fill 3 hours, but they’re having to give away important shit to make up for it. I’m not arsed about the Divas division really but they made Charlotte look like crap against someone who isn’t portrayed very strongly which is a pretty nonsensical thing to do considering how she’s been built in NXT with Takeover on this week. Just don’t put her on Raw yet. Rollins Ziggler was a pretty good match but it feels like it’s gonna be one of those matches that happens about 3 times a month and quickly loses all meaning. It feels like Ziggler took a step backwards too. Rowan v Harper should’ve been a much bigger deal than it was made out to be.
It was probably no worse than any other Raw but it just seemed to be 80% filler with the Slammys/Guest host malarky in too and hardly any storyline progress was made, which is pretty lame seeing as it’s the last raw before the balsa wood flimsy aluminium carnage that is TLC. You probably could’ve fit the parts that I gave a shit about into 25 minutes at a push. 4/10.
