Well, the Goldberg/Ziggler match went as expected.

bork · « **Reply #6841 on:** August 11, 2019, 07:39:24 PM »

Oh, now Ziggler is calling him back to the ring for more. I WONDER WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN

Maybe this is why Edge was on the pre-show. He and Goldberg essentially both did the same thing.

Ziggler asking for it again!?

bork · « **Reply #6843 on:** August 11, 2019, 07:41:43 PM »

Goldberg is getting gassed walking back to the ring so many times.

Tripon · « **Reply #6844 on:** August 11, 2019, 07:44:08 PM »

I don't get bringing back Goldberg. His whole gimmick was getting the hugest push of his time, as in the longest winning streak I remembered. Do people actually like him?

I think it's supposed to be Nightwing, but man does that look goofy. Graves on commentary with "if you have abs like he does, why would you wear fake ones?"

They showed Carmella and Truth in "disguise" as commentators and Renee remarked "your girl looks cute, Corey" or something like that- he didn't respond, lmao.

As novelty acts go, he's fine. He doesn't stick around long, and he's got some charisma to him. He is the direct opposite of Shane McMahon, in other words, whose welcome was never extended and thus could never be worn out.

Takeover was great. The guy from the Street Profits is incredible. I loved Io Shirai's match. As an aside, I would like to marry both Io and Charlie Caruso.

Eh. Not really. I watched the last half of it, and outside of the pin (Ricochet off the top of the rope with a somersault, and then AJ catching mid air to do a Styles Clash for the pin), the crowd sounded dead and it went too long with some dead spots, even in the short time that I watched.

Finn is supposed to take a couple of months on leave after Summerslam. Kind of hope Finn brings back his Demon persona after he comes back.

We've got at least 3-6 months before Vince starts randomly jobbing Bray out to shitty midcarders and expects the crowd to still treat him like a threat, then another year or so of dumb, terrible booking with maybe a US or IC title reign thrown in to "legitimize" the Fiend before we rinse and repeat

Other than the Fiend's entrance, the show was a largely forgettable, consequence free chicken fingers advert, so standard WWE 2019 fare is what I'm saying. For being the "2nd biggest ppv of the year" this was completely emblematic of what is wrong with the promotion- in a vacuum, most of the action was perfectly serviceable but lacked any sort of importance when you factor context or long term story telling in. Tell me again why it was a great idea to make "the brand" the star and not develop/promote new stars, Vinny Mac

Fiend entrance and match was cool and the last match was good. Everything else seemed pretty average but no real super duds. I enjoyed Ricochet/Styles but it wasn't the stand out match I expected. Goldberg pls go away forever now.

Wasn't bad but didn't feel like a Big 4 show.

bork · « **Reply #6872 on:** August 12, 2019, 11:25:20 AM »

It was another Sunday Night RAW. Three and a half hours (not counting the two-hour pre-show), in which like an hour was actual wrestling, and mostly boring shit. Stuff that moved storylines along was on the pre-show, lmao.

If shit doesn't change after the Fox SD move and AEW competition, I think I'm done with them for a while- bored of Seth. Bored of Becky. Bored of Kofi.
