But but but ratings don't matter

Well if there was any remaining doubt that the revival are being buried..

But but but ratings don't matter

I only saw that post last night, and yep, I hate it when people under-emphasise the importance of television ratings. It gets borderline pitiful when the ratings do something like halve and then people say that.

Just watching Raw now. Corbin/Lashley vs Styles/Rollins was an absolute trainwreck. I take back the positive things I said about Corbin. I somewhat enjoy his persona but man he is useless in the ring.

As a side note, it seems weird but I wouldn't be shocked if they try to push Corbin/Lashley as a tag team. Lashley lost his hype man which seemingly paves the way for it, they're both heels, and the commentators kept harping on about their teamwork.

So Bray Wyatt is now a member of Slipknot, or something

Corbin's ring-work is fine. Perfectly serviceable. That's the least of the issues with him.

What exactly are these issues with him then?

I think his entrances are hreat (although they're basically carried by him having perhaps the best entrance music in the entire WWE), and his persona, while annoying, is meant to be so.

I'm not saying you're wrong, as I'm fairly new when it comes to actually following WWE. I'm genuinely curious.

The atory about imoact going to a commercail break and then just nevercoming back on air is great

Terrible character. Has go away heat. No star /drawing power whatsoever

He excels in nothing tbh which is criminal when you consider how prominently he is featured. He is a basic promo, average worker and then his look....he's not physically intimidating whatsoever, at least

He also has nothing in his locker to suggest he would draw a dime as a face either.

Raw does have some terrible main event heels at the moment, Lashley is so dull and while I don't mind Drew's ringwork....what is his character? Its nothing thus why he can't draw heat.

 

[sledger]

Lmao

Pure wcw

Haha it really was reminiscent of that tbh.

And the big hook for tomorrow night's RAW is "Mick Foley introduces the latest championship"

Yeah, because the one thing the E needs right now is another belt. (another very WCW-ish move)

 

[Spikey]

lol a hardcore championship in 2019

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

lol a hardcore championship in 2019

Best titles in the world are deathmatch belts tbh.

 

[sledger]

I will have a good laugh if it is the hardcore belt reborn

Would a) be awful, and b) look like a really desperate attempt to recapture some attitude era atmosphere

They are more than looking over their shoulders for AEW now

Brock was silly but fmd what a bit of sports-entertainment before it.

Also Rollins/Styles was very good.

Oh man, gotta cancel my plans tonight to watch this then.

Basically my summary of the event.Brock was just stupid though.

Wish we'd had a big Bray Wyatt moment though. Really thought they were building up to him basically pulling a Brock, just including actually fighting.
