Booooo!
Monday Night Raw

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Let's not get carried away here and say things we don't mean.
Caught up on the DVR just in time for the show to end. Rusev is hands down the best heel on their roster. They need to bump him to main event status ASAP.
Ummmm, no.
I think so. As long as he's booked properly, he's a fucking animal.
There are at least a couple things they're obviously already building for SummerSlam. I'm thinking that might be one of them.
They need something better NOW
His mic work is atrocious, and Lana's isn't much better. I'm more than happy to look at her but the Bulgarian bad guy isn't going to draw the heat a main event heel needs. Even when they were booking him as a monster he was incredibly stale.
Well, it seems obvious to me that Zayn beats KO at SS for the IC belt. I don't see the need to rush Balor up now. He still has a rematch to lose in NXT before that happens anyways. If they're doing the Balor Club he can't pull double duty like most guys leaving NXT do. The payoff will also be better being as people are getting so impatient.
I thought he was great as US champ back then. The product was stale as shit at that time, but he was convincing to me. Remember his Royal Rumble debut? They had him on such a good path then they fucked it up with the lady drama angle.
Then they're shittily using twitter to supplant their own foreshadowing techniques on the show they refuse to use.
Great.
Wake me up when Seth Returns.
Finn is one of the GOAT twitter trolls.
He lost to Super Cena before that was even a thought. I remember hoping Cena would win because I was tired of 'Punch, kick, camel clutch until guy "passes out" repeat' He was like a Russian Goldberg without the showmanship.
It's counter productive to have wrestling talent mess with potential when the main show is diving in the ratings and they have no ideas.
It's dumb. He wants to troll over some other topic, fine.
If they won't use either Twitter NOR their own traditional vignette or end of event preview appearance anymore, they're screwed for suspense.
Christ even Lana's promos were getting repetitive "Here's a real leader" for 6 months straight.
That Raw was stupid.
They bring Shane back, do this whole thing with them working together, and you get 2 mins of Shane and the rest of the night Steph again.
Same
Old
Shit
And the belt feud has zero suspense that Roman has a legit threat. Seth please hurry.

It's hard to quantify that statement simply because people are tuning in just hoping to see Finn show up.
Bullshit, the product is riddled with injuries, don't mess with Raw debut suspense. Period.
It's dumb. They need to actually start making people buy the suspense.
They're going to just have him debut all of a sudden, I guarantee it, with none of the circumstance they used to put into shit like that.
When their own injured stars come back they just pop them out there with no shoehorned hype.

Either Twitter is, or it isn't a serious vehicle for them to create buzz.
So far, they let their talent obliterate kayfabe on it AND they don't seem to want to actually use it or the damn PPV's or shows for suspenseful preview?
I don't understand, it's basic serial storytelling that you have some mechanism to entice fans with some kind of momentum building to a reveal.
They seem to think they don't need to do any of it at all anymore and let their Heels and Faces play video games and put it on youtube.
If people, after seeing Star Wars walked out of the theatre and saw a picture of Mark Hamill and Darth Vader capturing a selfie people would have had complete meltdowns.

On top of that, they seem to want to make Reigns, a "Facshmeel" who gets violent and vicious with Faces but also does the Make A Wish stuff, the very thing that they would never allow Cena to be for fear the kids would turn on him.
Madness.
Madness.
and sorry I didn't mean my first response as flippant as I said it. You can't be so vague that people potential stop believing you, something has to connect the dots for at least a little while in conjuction with a reveal or they'll might just plan to tune in at the end and completely forget and eventually not care.
And if they miss the reveal because they were vague and sloppy with it, then you're chipping away at any confidence that the WWE care about doing proper reveals entirely. Which is far worse.
