Yes, yes it still 3 long hours.

The White Feather

Last few Raws were passable but that one was terrible. Crowd were def dead as was said here already. Everything felt flat. Its up to WWE to get people excited but nothing much happened.

New Day went from a rubbish idea to entertaining and to now boring.

I liked the spot at the end of the show where Strowman threw Reigns into the turnbuckle. I'm just sad that they're going to waste the great job they've done on building Strowman into a monster heel by having Reigns go over him on Sunday.

Jerichoholic

Were the crowd chanting "Roman" or "Strowman"?

And is that why they are fueding, so it sounds like he's getting a reaction?

Either way, I was saying Boo-Urns.

Agent Coulson

I fcuking hate Roman Reigns.

aaaaaaaahhhhhh

I know I shouldn't comment on it but when Sasha came out and started talking, it made me wonder if her name is just "Sash"? The way she pronounced Bayley as Bayleya

Her name is actually Mia

The Ayatolla

She put an "ah" at the end of a lot of words. Weird.

He reacted to the reigns turnbuckle spot before it happened....there should have been a natural "OH MY GOD!" Before he tried to describe it! That wrecked my head!

Raw was just plain sh!te this week! I have less than no interest in Fast lane

"The turnbuckle EXPLODED!"

He's a pain to listen to.

J. Marston

Really can't stand him since Shane's jump from the cell at Wrestlemania. You can see him reading his awful "For the love of Mankind!" line from a page in the background.

If you can't react naturally to something like that, pack it in.

Watching the Dudley boys documentary on Sky reminded me of his awful commentary when someone make a surprise return.

"It can't be! is it really them? You've got to be kidding me!"

post mania she will be returned to Raws womens division so as to give them some variaty in terms of who faces who i'd guess but I don't think she will be getting as much of a push as she potentially may have.

Angron

I really don't get what the point of the Emmalina thing was. I don't think it even counts as a swerve, because I think people are supposed to be invested in the story for those to work.

And hey, at least Cole can take solace in the fact that he was only voted the 6th worst announcer in the WON awards, behind Otunga, Striker, Saxton, Matthews, and JBL.

Omackeral

Literally just reading about that here.

''In early February 2017, journalist Dave Meltzer, in describing the Emmalina situation, wrote that it was a running joke and there's no spot ready for her. Reportedly, the Emmalina gimmick was dropped due to WWE producers feeling after rehearsals that Tenille Dashwood could not pull off the character.''

On a side note, Tenille Dashwood is a savage name for a wrestler.

Angron

Yeah, shame she'll never be allowed use it in WWE.

J. Marston

No offence to the Emma's out there but you can't get a much blander name for a wrestler.

What happened with Emma on Raw? Have they dropped the gimmick?

The story seems to be they realized, during rehersals before she came out on Raw, that she didn't fit the character at all, so scrapped it.
