You mean a final segment of Mick Foley talking to Daniel Bryan to continue a feud that doesn't really have a purpose and is barely even a feud in the first place plus a completely unannounced match didn't beat the Olympics?

It really reminds me how much CM Punk's big reign sucked towards the end...

 

[George Steele's Barber]

Sorry. I was at the mall and wanted to get to bed early.

Wrestling runs in cycles...

I expect a lot of future episodes to be rather low in ratings. Especially with NBC undercutting Raw and Smackdown in order to promote the Olympics. And not to mention the recent uplift on the ban against weed, which will definitely make for a much better Olympics since everyone will be more calm and relaxed.

This just proves that even good TV can't get the ratings up. RAW has been very well put together after Wrestlemania till now.

Eh, they're hit and miss. These two past Raws have been some of the most boring episodes in a LONG time.

The hardcore fans (most of us here) are going to tune in, but the casuals aren't. Especially when considering Raw consisted of:

- Another Braun Strowman squash
- Darren Young vs. Titus O'Neil
- Cesaro vs. Sheamus again
- A random tag team match
- A wedding
- Sasha vs. Dana again
- A wrestler with TWO matches on the main roster being a #1 contender to a World Championship in a promo segment (He's a LOT better in the ring)
- Goldust and R-Truth meeting Scooby Doo
- The main event being promoted as a promo between 2 non-wrestlers
- The actual main event not being announced until after the third hour
- Randomly leaving Sami Zayn off TV

You're telling me all of that isn't going to draw ratings?

 

[Mighty NorCal]

....and Smackdowns ratings bumped up.

Its almost as if they split the roster in half, sacrificing depth on raw with the purpose of boosting smackdown

I just wish they hadn't similarly divided the writing staff.
