WrestleTalk Roundtable – WWE Raw – December 3, 2018

How would you rate the show overall? (From best to worst: In Awe, Cor, AvRAWge, Poor and Bore)

Eric Stites

This show was a huge improvement over last week’s abomination. But that’s really not saying much. There were still a lot of boring and bland things that happened on this show. There were however some good bits and, like I said, it was much better than the last couple weeks of Raw. Therefore I am giving this week’s Raw a low AvRAWge.

Bore. This show sucked. Last week’s show at least had the decency to throw in a great match (albeit one we’ve seen a million and ten times). This week, there was no redeeming factor.

Even the lone good thing on this show (Drew McIntyre) was ruined by losing his match. I try to like Raw every week, but the last month of shows has made it virtually impossible.

This was a long three hours, but nevertheless still a marked improvement over last week. Perhaps I’ve just become completely desensitised to the usual Raw awfulness, but I didn’t even flinch when I heard the words “Lucha House Rules” last night. I felt absolutely nothing seeing Bobby Lashley point to his butt for the third week in a row. Truthfully, the only really offensive segment was that Sasha / Bayley / Alexa trash heap.

On the other hand, I somewhat enjoyed the Drew / Dolph match, as well as Drew’s promos either side of it. Finn Bálor popping up like a toothy, Irish Whack-a-Mole was unexpectedly entertaining, as was the Rollins / Ambrose confrontation. However, these good flashes were few and far between.

So while the show was still bad, there’s reason to be optimistic that at least we’re heading in the right direction. Last night’s uninspired, yet improved, effort scores a low Poor from me.
