So The Ryback beats all three NXT guys at the PPV in a tables match, right? That's what's obviously going to happen.

And then they go back down too NXT, Instead of creating 3 new players on a weak roster they just keep pushing a guy they have to pipe in chants for.


Also did they even mention that Ziggler was the sole survivor?

Fell asleep during Survivor Series, nearly fell asleep during this show.

Really not into this product right now. Which is a shame given Punk is doing awesome.

One thing I hate about these guys coming in as token "thugs"...they debut, sure...but they don't debut with any personality or character. When they break away from the thug gimmick, they basically start from scratch.

They're the NXT Kids according to Michael Cole.

I hated Nexus the first time and I don't think I'll like it this time

[JimLeavy59]

They should have had them compete in matches on RAW, Have them look dominate against a few few faces like Santino,Kidd, and Clay. Make them look like badasses. And honestly the 3 on 1 beatdown makes Ryback look like a bitch seeing how he can beat up 2 guys but not 3, I've always hated monster face characters because you have to micro manage them so much and honestly is payoff is never worth it in the long run.

This is why I tempered my excitement after Survivor Series.

If these guys lose to The Ryback at TLC, they will look like geeks and are *dead*, so you might as well send them back down to developmental. Then bring them up later with new names or whatever when people forget about them.

I have zero faith in the WWE to ever introduce a new character properly or give fresh faces a proper push.

They're not wrestling Ryback at the PPV, Punk is.

[SuperKevin]

Did they already scrap Fandango?

Here are the RAW ratings I'm sure Metlzer will have a better breakdown

Hour 1: 3.873
Hour 2: 3.923
Hour 3: 3.710

He'll have segment by segment in the Observer Wednesday if you are interested.

EDIT-People still turning off the TV for hour 3, I see.

[EmpireWF]

RAW is a complete chore to sit through, 3 hours is abhorrent. The fact they CONTINUE to do a 10 minute overrun is wacky to try and get a small boost to their rating.

Vince needs to grow a pair and tell USA enough, go back to 2 hours.

[FedEx227]

Financially they aren't seeing that big of a bump either, so the benefits are becoming harder to find.

[LiquidLarry2GhostWF]

I get through RAW in about an hour.
