The Official Raw December 14th 2015 thread

[HoganIsGOAT]

Raw was definitely better than recent episodes but nothing extra great, in my opinion. WWE fans have been conditioned to such a low standard, that last night's show to many fans was "great." Very sad and telling of the times.

I am still not sold on Roman Reigns. He's still the same guy, only he was booked better for a glimpse of time (not even the whole show, mind you). Vince McMahon went all out trying to get Roman over, even using himself as the heel Mr. McMahon and Roman as the cheap Austin rip-off. Vince wants him to the the guy, so it was going to happen anyway.

Vince manipulated so many of you with this. So many fans rejected Roman as the guy (not just due to bad booking), and Vince defiantly stood his ground in spite of fans clear feedback and was determined to prove fans wrong, and tell them what they want. Look at it this way, he essentially pissed in your bowl of Cheerios after you said you'd prefer milk with it, portrayed his piss in a positive light, and now you're all eating a bowl of Cheerios in piss with a smile on your face because piss is so much better now.

Has Roman been booked terribly for a top guy? Yes. Will booking him like a bad ass help? Duh! Look at all of the stars in boxing, UFC...etc. All of the bad asses who kill people get over, it's not rocket science. Still don't think he's the next John Cena though, sorry.

I saw this coming. that being said, I actually liked that match. Better than watching Sheamus.

This is where I'm at as well. Not a Reigns fan, but Sheamus had no business being champ. Just isn't in his DNA.

The fact that they thought Sheamus would be a good transitional champion who would help get Roman over is a major problem. It was an epic fail. Ultimately, Vince turned down the idea of Ambrose turning heel and winning the WWE WHC with Reigns chasing him (in spite of several writers pitching it), and went with Sheamus winning the WWE WHC instead.

Exactly this hoagie.

That would have been so much better.

Monday's episode of WWE RAW, with Vince McMahon's return, the fallout from TLC and Roman Reigns winning the WWE World Heavyweight Title, drew 3.884 million viewers. This is up a whopping 27% from last week's 3.054 million viewers.

For this week's show, the first hour drew 4.043 million viewers, the second hour drew 3.786 million viewers and the final hour drew 3.825 million viewers. It's worth noting that there was no drop from hour 2 to hour 3 this week.

Wow.

I don't get all the hate towards Sheamus. The guy is above average in every single aspect. A few years ago, when he was feuding with HHH leading up to WM, he was getting over. Heel Sheamus is underrated AF.

So wheres that one poster that doubted my official thread would get over 5 pages?

Glad Sheamus does not have the title anymore. Could not take it anymore of him being champion, so boring. At least Roman is a bit better than him.

[Larfleeze]

I really want Cena to come back and bury Roman. So ****ing sick of him.

[Zainius]

The week I don't watch Raw...... lol

disagree he was getting nothing but big pops and cheers until Vince decided to push him down throats fans it was completely the booking. Then after that bad booking people started to just get pissed off with anything he did.

They will put this down to Vince being on TV and Roman becoming champ.
