WWE RAW III: Here Comes the Pain

[Deadman25]

Why the F does big show stand for 30 secs after slamming Cena every time ? to much violence for the little JImmys to see at one time with Cena getting his ass kicked or what ?

[Alex]

How long after AW made his joke did LAwler say that sakomato should change his name to sumting wong?

[clayholio]

I loved, loved, loved that Sheamus vs. Bryan match. That was tremendous.

The Jericho/Christian vs. Dolph/Miz match was good, too. Miz looks like he's in better shape/healed up since shooting his movie, and I'm enjoying his matches more now. My attention drifted during Show/Cena, but that's probably because it was the last match I watched in a Smackdown/Raw marathon. Also, I liked prioritizing Sandow over Brodus, and the Kidd/Tensai thing is at least something for both of them to do. Plus, Sakamoto got smacked!

According to Tensai's Twitter, he's also taking Sakamoto to his first Waffle House, and is trying to convince Sakamoto that it's an American tradition for Sakamoto to pay. Dastardly!

I don't know how long it'll take for the three hour Raws to fizzle out, but after two weeks, they've done as good of a job as could reasonably be expected.

The thing with this Raw was, if it was 2 hours, it would have been one of the best Raw's of the year.
But they onyl used the extra hour to show the same shit over and over and over. I guess the matches were longer though, to be totaly fair.

In fairness if it were two hours Danielson vs Sheamus would have been cut short, it will still be a good match though.

[Deadman25]

actually if you take off the comercials it is a 2 hour show.

It makes sense that they're going to pad out the three hour shows with a lot of replays (and Tout segments), just to minimize the transition. It doesn't improve the show, but I'm hoping that once they get more accustomed to the amount of material they'll need to generate, they'll ease up on that.

I have no reason to have that hope, but it's there anyways.

But that was two hours of awesome in a three hour bag.

They're going to be good in any amount of time. But that was a treat for a TV match.

Did ADR/Santino really last seven minutes? That's outrageous, and would never happen on a two-hour show.

I will, i fucking love Flair.
It's not even that she's bad, but if TNA didn't get all lawsuit happy i could have the nature boy throwing his shoes.

New RAW drinking game - drink every time they repeat something that's already been shown on the show.

Also, I'll be shocked if AW isnt future endevoured.

[Gryphon]

you know what the best part of 3 hour raw is?
Fucking awesome tag match and a really good sheamus/daniel bryan match.

What did Meltzer think of it?

[SephirothDZX]

I loved, loved, loved that Sheamus vs. Bryan match. That was tremendous.

That match really was pretty fantastic.

[Alex]

What did Meltzer think of it?

Haven't got that far yet, he did note he was amazed that Punk didn't laugh at Cena in the opening segment because his offense looked shit, which i think people here noted.
I assumed he was just excited because it was a hot crowd.
He also belives Punk isn't going full heel until the crowd actually turns on him, because last night he was basicly getting slightly less of a negative reaction then Cena, and they don't want to force it since he's going to work with Cena.

[Dave H]

Imo that's the best thing to come out of this train wreck

Yes and no. I get bored with him when the match is going on and he's just shouting randomly, but I love his comments introing and once he has to actually do something like interfere.
