RAW is bore

By Scott Keith on 12 May 2021

I know you don't watch RAW, so wanted to give you insight on a big problem with the show. It's not just the horrible, stale creative. The layout of the show is senseless. Take this segment, in the second hour on Monday:

Sheamus does his full ring entrance for his U.S. Title match Carrillo. That's followed by:

Smackdown ad

Long commercial break

Lashley/McIntyre preview video

Lashley/MVP promo

Recap of Sheamus match last week

Sheamus stood in the ring through all that. He then delivers a promo.

11 minutes after Sheamus' came to the ring, Carrillo finally does his entrance.

Approximately 90 seconds into the match, we get another 4 minute commercial break

That's followed by an NXT ad.

Finally, they come back to the match.

Thankfully, I DVRd through all that garbage, but have to wonder how anyone could think this is good, cohesive, interesting TV?

Oh, 3 minutes later there's a huge botch that apparently injures Carrillo. That was an unfortunate mistake. Everything that led up to it was on purpose.

So you’re saying RAW is…NOT good? Duly noted.
