    Shane is the doing the town hall gimmick but it's right out of Easy E's playbook.

    I can assure the show will start with Limos pulling up to the arena.

    Shane seems to be GM of both Raw and SD nowadays. Triple H and Steph nowhere to be seen

    Deff KO is going to do something at this

    It could end with a Sami Zayn on a forklift reverse battle royal match.

    *Bischoff is a terrible booker, why on earth was he hired to do this?

    Didn't Dixie Carter do an infamous version of it too?

    I feel like WWE have had too many of these false dawns over the last year or two. I'm guessing tonight we'll hear about how some internet darlings will get TV time and I just don't care about that (except maybe Asuka). I want interesting characters and storylines.

    Absolutely agree with the comments about WWE commentary being a big turn off. Sick of Graves at this stage, even down in NXT Mauro just seems to scream a lot and I find Phoenix boring, I do like Nigel though.

    Nobody talks like the commentators or interviewers in WWE do in the real world, comes across so forced and sterilised. Kevin Kelly and Rocky Romero the best combo around for me at the minute.

    Agree, Kevin and Rocky just act like human beings announcing a sporting event. It's so easy to do.

    I think a lot of the criticisms against commentators are down to the voice in their ear, screaming at them to act a specific way.

    Whenever I've heard Cory or Cole without Vince behind them, they come across a whole lot better.

    Yep, when they're allowed act normal they can be fun.

    Example, Renee called Corey a dick last night under her breath and it was actually funny...

    I remember when Charlotte was hitting someone with a Kendo stick, Graves actually said "THE QUEEN IS DEFENDING HER KINGDOM"

    Just awful.

    I'm giving Bischoff one chance then I'm done. Raw is beyond bad now. I can't take Michael Cole and Corey Graves fake announcing anymore, it's just the worst thing ever, just a total turn off. I honestly think the fake announcing, never taking a breath and overuse of horrible corporate branding and buzzwords is why the decline is so massive. It's attracting no new viewers just turning them off.


    I think Cole said WWE Universe 50 times in the first 10 minutes of Raw, and that was it for me.

    Bischoff is starting with a "town hall meeting" which sounds scarily like the time Russo and Bischoff did a reset of Nitro with all the wrestlers surrounding the ring.

    And that was the end of WCW.

    Then you should save yourself the hassle of watching because I doubt anything is gonna change during his first week in the job or if anything will change that much until Smackdown moves to Fox.

    The first time they say "WWE UNIVERSE" is usually my breaking point.

    so Bischoff again is on screen character too ???#

    I thought us fans are not supposed to knw whos running it all :D

    Heyman wasn't exactly subtle about it last night.

    As for Cole, he restrained himself from saying "Out of nowhere"
    And I'm guessing Corey's small package joke was him and not Vnce

    World champion coming out with a plate of pancakes. Woods and his try-hard nerd references. New Day can piss off.

    Big E is alright.

    Please God let Randy win the belt at Summerslam and get the title back on someone with actual star quality.

    They didn't mention it during their promo so I would guess it's not something they're going with.

    I rather the title be vacant than to give it to boreton.

    Afaik, he actually is. All three are listed as Tag champs on WWE.com.

    Though that could just be the graphics department presuming, based on past experience, rather than the offical line.

    I wish they'd stop with Owens using the stunner, fair enough, they want the austin type of character, but do it without using the finisher, sure, fans might like it now but they'll get bored very quick of it

    I don't mind Kevin using it. Its just that, he doesn't do it right. Didn't Austin cut a promo on that very thing before?
