Cody misunderstood what Cena meant when he said, "oh, you don't need a belt."

The Bloodline stuff was too long but had some good stuff in it. The crowd was into it though.

It’s ironic that Roman is doing his best work against the release of Indiana Jones 5 when he’ll probably have a starring role in Indiana Jones 6 in 2025

Watching Roman cut a promo for 40 minutes sounds almost as boring as watching Roman wrestle for 40 minutes.

I guarantee that 40 minute segment could have been 12 minutes and accomplished the exact same thing.

That’s what WWE does. Spend 2 and half hours talking and 15 minutes of wrestling. I just assume anyone actually watching live just uses it as background noise cause no sane person would be engaged by it.

I watched it on youtube so you don't have to --

Roman was in "tribal court", which he resented. The Usos played clips of him manipulating and abusing them, he flipped it on them, accused them of compiling all of his worst moments to make him look like someone he's not, said he was already a top guy before he started the Bloodline, he only did it to take care of all of them and their families, basically said "I don't need this poo poo, I'm done", made like he was gonna give the Bloodline to Jey, kneeled down, Jey, the biggest idiot on planet Earth, was comforting Roman, Roman socked him in the balls, they all fought for a bit, Jey gets tied up in the ropes and has to watch them beat the poo poo out of Jimmy. Later, Jey comes back down, attacks Solo and Roman with a chair, challenges Roman for his title.

Please, this is all I have
I don't remember the last time I watched RAW on TV but I remember when someone started to make their entrance, a commercial break happened, they came back and showed some unrelated video package/ppv teaser + a recap of last week that might've also been unrelated to the wrestler, went to another commercial break, and then when they came back the wrestler was in the ring and their music was still playing.

I know how TV tapings work because I've been to a ton but it must have been excruciating for a wrestler to come out and spend 15 or so minutes warming the crowd, then having the crowd watch something unrelated, then warming the crowd one more time before coming back to start their match.

not only does WWE not value the viewers time, they don't even value their performers time. I guess that's obvious when everyone's expected to be at every single TV show "just in case"

Yeah, again, the crowd was into it and there were a lot of chants that they played off of.

I do think it should've been at least half the time, but it's funny to see people who didn't watch it say it must be bad, but the live audience was into it the entire time.

They were having to mute the audio because they were cursing, so they were real chants.

A WWE crowd being into something isn't exactly a flex, they'll cheer for anything now.

These are the same people that still cheer for Vince.

WWE fans is to begging for Emmys as MCU/comics fans is to begging for Oscars

Even if they show up (doubtful given the recent box office trends for one) and are loud (doubtful given the piped-in noise for the other), neither prove they're correct

lol at this forum being incapable of accepting that things they don't like can be good and enjoyed by others

This forum when a crowd enjoys a segment and it gets good ratings: "well actually nobody liked it and it wasn't good even though I didn't watch it but still post about it for some reason"
