Yeah. Raw is kinda annoying to attend live because they do weird poo poo to account for commercial breaks. Like, someone will start their entrance, get into the ring, then the music and lights fade, they stand around for a minute, then the music and lights come back on and they go back to posing on the turnbuckles or whatever.

if you attend a live show, then go for a house show or Smackdown, they are both good

you are more likely to see a slightly higher stakes and canon match in a Smackdown taping, and they don't do any of the "wait for the ads" bullshit on RAW because it isn't live

That sounds excessively unfun. You'd think there would be better ways to spend a commercial break than loving around like that.

It's also very "studio audience" based where they try to get the crowd to make a lot of noise during certain parts and stuff like that. I never disliked Lilian Garcia until spending a raw with her giving us directions as to how to cheer like a kindergarten teacher

It depends. Miz runs the ropes during breaks. When I went to the go-home RAW for EC 2014, Christian was working heel and cut a promo comparing himself to the Seahawks (this was in Denver), it was pretty good but his match with DBry was too technical for the hick crowd to get into.

I like the one where they are coming out together and Big E accidentally backhands her the best. Just for the "oh, you!" look that she gives him.

Almost. You can see her whispering to Dolph to take her to the doctor as he pulls her off camera.

Your city must have a poo poo crowd because every time I've been to Raw, Lilian just announced when TV was about to go live and that was it for the whole show. No handholding on what to cheer for.

When I go to wrestle watch Vince just stands on the stage with a sign that says "cheer" and one that says "boo" and we do what the sign says when he holds it up.

Well those sheep do. I do the opposite because I'm a smark (smart mark).

At the Brooklyn Raw we just got one instruction to cheer when the broadcast went live. They actually messed up and played the Raw intro video before the Superstars taping was done, so we had to get all riled up again 15 minutes later.

Could be a victory gif I spose.

Seeing these people together is still making me sad.

Edit: Oh, right, I remember now. They focus on the players doing little poses when they win. It's been so long, the mind's not what it used to be :corsair:

Man if you had told me then that by today one of these three would be the best act on Raw, one would be the worst, and one would be dead, I would not have picked correctly.
