THE LIAR

Raw https://www.f4wonline.com/wwe-results/wwe-raw-live-results-mcintyre-strowman-vs-t-bar-mace-339786

Braun Strowman defeats Mace and T-Bar by DQ in a handicap match after the ex-Retribution members won't stop kicking his rear end in a corner. Postmatch Drew McIntyre comes out to make the save
Mace and T-Bar defeat Braun and Drew via countout when Drew barely misses making it. Postmatch Braun slams Drew, angry he's a loser again because of something out of his control
Braun defeats Drew after Lashley tries distracting the ref to help Drew win, but T-Bar and Mace distract Drew. Lashley defends against Braun and Drew in a triple threat at Mania Backlash

Absolutely textbook burying everybody by trying to protect everybody and push everybody simultaneously.

I am sure Adinan Virk is a very nice guy and all but good lord he's probably the worst commentator since Mike Adamle. He has no business being in the commentary booth. Move him to an interviewer role or something.

A cool gimmick could be a guy who wears horse blinders and is completely immune to distractions. They could call him Equin Gallup or some NXT bullshit. I would like $150,000 for this idea.

It's not even that. He calls practically nothing by name, just 'big move' or 'what a move'. Him screaming in excitement he sounds like a grade schooler.

I wonder why they don't start people out as interviewers before making them commentators. Give them some low stakes chances to get comfortable with the roster and being on TV before putting them in the chair.

I saw another suggestion that they be put on 205 Live or something first until they feel more comfortable in the role as well. Like I said, it's nothing against Virk but he's completely out of his element here.

And you know that Fox and NBC Universal are going to see this and in another 3 years or whatever go "Give them 1.2 Billion, this is the quality content we are looking for!"

I've been watching wrestling for 24 years now. Raw is definitely to the point where the entire show is unwatchable. A couple years ago there would be episodes that had good matches or segments that at least made it worth setting record on your DVR. Now it's just all garbage top to bottom. We're coming off Wrestlemania and I can't think of one thing on any weekly WWE show worth watching. It's just all loving awful from top to bottom.

The only thing that keeps me watching are the cheap PPVs that are somewhat decent, and that they still employ some wrestlers I like. But I feel like my interest is finally going to be killed as those people leave and get phased out for this current crop of bland performance center graduates that have absolutely nothing going for them because I have no memories of them doing anything great. Now I can't even fall back on "Remember that one great match they had at Takeover" because those suffering too

Like the only good part of WWE right now is NXT and that's simply because their women's division is incredibly strong, even if the top two champs right now for the men and women are weak as gently caress.

You know what? I'm loving fuming about this. WHAT IN THE gently caress DOES JAWS HAVE TO DO WITH A MOTHERFUCKING TRAIN!? Using that line in that context makes about as much sense as just straight up shouting "CLEAR THE TRACKS! MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU!" It seems appropriate, but it falls apart after even just a few seconds of thought applied to it.


I'd originally typed "CLEAR THE TRACKS! I SEE DEAD PEOPLE!" but that actually kind of works, so...
