    After Cord called them the Fridge Raiders when talking about WarGames I now can't think of them as anything else.

    I preferred Black/Gargano but it's damn close between that and Dream/Tomato.

    Disappointed in the womens match. It was still good as it's impossible for those two to put on a bad match, but they absolutely raced through the falls and there was too much outside stuff.

    Heard some rumours that Lars Sullivan is getting called up tonight with a vignette to be shown in the pre-show.

    6'3 and 330 pounds so despite being a little undersized for Vince, he should still actually get used on the main roster.

    I actually think he'll do better on the main roster than he did on NXT.

    He's a funny big baby shaped man who they only ever shot from around about his knee level, it could go either way.

    Other than the fact that IT'S THE ONLY TIME WHERE RAW AND SMACKDOWN MEET?

    Discounting things like Saudiwankfests, the Rumble and probably some more that I'm forgetting.

    For a pointless show with no motivation for 95% of the roster I actually quite enjoyed that. The womens match was crap and Bar / AOP was a bit rubbish but I sort of liked it on the whole. Bryan sort of did the match I thought they ought to have had heel Rollins do against Bork but there were a couple of points when I was starting to think they might be at least letting Bryan get a no-finish out of it.

    Other than because 'fuck you, Smackdown' I'm not sure what the point of having Raw sweep them is meant to be.

    Also, I don't know why they kept trying to pretend that the pre-show match (tag elimination) didn't actually happen.

    Apparently it's to build the heel turn for Shane which we all really want to see.

    It was also nice of them to show how pointless they view Samoa Joe right now. I honestly don't know why they're fucking burying him, he's got no relevance at the top right now and is turning into a joke despite being brilliant.

    Was it just me or was the aftermath of the Charlotte v Rousey match awkward as fuck? It kind of felt like they were trying to draw her an applause but it backfired massively.

    Bork/Bryan wasn't too bad after the nut shot, it's a shame he only really bothers in 1 match a year.

    Murphy/Ali was also really good

    Other than "because WWE crowds are dickheads" I didn't understand the reaction during that bit at all.

    Were they turning against it because Becky was out injured? Seems like the kind of thing a WWE crowd would do.

    I don't think they'd booed Rousey during the match though, had they? It seemed like they were fairly even and then all of a sudden Charlotte starts that and it's all "Thank you Charlotte" or whichever of their self-congratulatory catchphrases they opted for.

    She keeps doing stuff about millennials and avocados towards Becky despite the fact they were born two days apart, proper Vince McMahon in the ear kind of thing.

    I hope the last few days are a sign that WWE realise how ace Chad Gable is.

    Grumpy Bryan Alvarez made the very good point on his podcast that "Cole literally said the pre-show match didn't count. The pay-per-views last four fucking hours, the pre-show two fucking hours, and now they're telling me the match on the pre-show doesn't count, WHY THE FUCK should I even watch it?!"

    I know it's his gimmick to be all angry and shouty but he ain't wrong.

    I've read that Raw was meant to win it, but they fucked up the booking and the wrong team won - so they just pretended it didn't happen.

    Cole is quite right though, the pre-show doesn't matter.

    And now a rivalry has been started based on this, fuck me.

    RAW was bad as usual, I really don't know what they're doing.

    They give so much time to wrestlers that no one gives a shit about, so many awful promos/using sensitive material (talking about Roman having to answer to God, a jab at dismemberment/Khashoggi, LA smell after recent fires), moronic finishes, awful match time management.

    At this point they really should take it down to 2 hours, it would help creative make a tighter show and/or we wouldn't have to suffer for an extra hour.

    Their roster is enormous. The third hour really isn't the issue. That they're incompetent and running on the whims of a senile nutter is.

    Does anybody watch it live (or even as live) anyway? Depending how long any decent matches are I get through Raw and Smackdown in about half their run time, at the maximum.

    I don't bother with them at all. I know one person who does and he gets through Raw in under an hour.

    I have it recorded but buzz through in no time, you can basically get the highlights from their own Youtube page anyway so it's not worth the slog.

    I was going to say how brutal the one at 13 seconds in is but in capturing it as a GIF to really burn the pain into my retinas I realised that he doesn't get near contact thereby ruining it.

    Shame it's their 'BIRTHPLACE' as it's a shithole.
