Raw is Blogged

This episode of Raw was so much better than the past two weeks, but it surely wasn't up to snuff. The grades might not seem too bad, but thinking about it, I think they are the way they are because Raw's been such crap lately. Actually, WWE as a whole, minus NXT, has been rather ...read more

The WWE is sports entertainment, but all in all we tune in to see some great wrestling, but for the second week in a row we have seen a little good wrestling and a whole lot of talking. Yes, storylines are important, but it's the wrestling that we all tune in to see, and there's ...read more

I have to give ALL props for the title for this RIB to Missy Hyatt. In the opening segment, after Reigns came to the ring, she tweeted those words, and I immediately came here and put it in as the title. I also have to say that if you don't follow Missy Hyatt on Twitter ...read more

I went four days without watching the WWE Network, and I have to say that I wasn't doing well. I went on one of my medieval excursions in the Green Mountains of Vermont, and I didn't have any connectivity up there. Yes, I know, if I'm being medieval I shouldn't be watching the ...read more

I was incredibly sick last week. I wasn't just sick, but I barely got out of bed for over a week. I had an issue with one of my meds being changed and really not agreeing with me. We have it worked out, I'm going back to the one that worked so well for me. If you really ...read more

I have a correction, and apology to make, and where better than right here. Last week I commented on Dana's lipstick smudging all over her mouth during her match. Last night, on Twitter, she told me that it was blood. Of course I now feel horrible about what I said, and I ...read more

I want to start this in a way I haven't had to start this in a very long time, and I'm sorry if I offend anyone, but I'm going to tell it like it is. If you have a problem with me saying what I'm saying, take it to my email account – kendra@wrestlingnewsworld.com Now, what I ...read more

WNW seems to be a roller coaster in a big way lately, but that's also what makes it that much more fun. Between the site, Twitter, and everything else we are branching out toward, it's been a load of craziness. I'm working on a number of other articles which should be coming to ...read more

Short of handing out typewriter written mimeographed sheets of paper with the roster changes, this is the lamest way the WWE could have handled the Superstar Shakeup! The Draft was so exciting to watch, this was lamer than lame. They should want the fans to be excited watching, ...read more

I'm so late that I'm just going to jump in. I hope you enjoy!Raw Starts In Ring Segment > A+ What an amazing moment. From when Reigns beat Taker at WrestleMania, the fans had been discussing what would happen with Reigns on Raw, and contemplating what might happen. We all know ...read more

There are so many things going on here at WNW that I thought I'd use this spot to tempt you and fill you in on a few things. The first being that we have a second Twitter account, and we are playing things a little different there. It's the old WWE_Network account, but it's now ...read more

I have to wonder how this WrestleMania is going to pan out. It seems as though each year we become more and more worried about WrestleMania as it approaches, and while some matches help save the show every year, it seems as though they're missing the ball more and more. We all ...read more

What the heck was up with the matches? So few matches, so short, and more DQs than normal. What a mess wrestling-wise. I just don't get what the WWE is doing with Raw. I know they're getting ready for WrestleMania, but storylines mean more than just people talking – other than ...read more

I know a lot of people have been expecting me to totally trash Raw and Fastlane here, but it's been over 20 hours since Raw, and 40 hours since Fastlane and I've had time to ruminate on what we saw, and I think I covered everything I wanted in the body of this RIB. I will admit ...read more

Another week, another crap episode of Raw. Now, I will say that there were three segments and one match that were actually really great, but three hours cannot rest on three segment and a main event. There's so much wrong with Raw these days that only get worse as we get closer ...read more

I'm so much later than I wanted this to be, and I'm not going to say that this won't happen again, because it has been happening. Between my health and the weather, I've had a bit of a tough winter. Three snow storms last week, another one scheduled to start tomorrow, yet Big M ...read more

While some of the grades here are not too bad, I have to say that this was the most boring and worst Raw I've seen in a long time. I know I've said that before, but when half of the Raw Open Thread Discussion turn the channel, or start playing video games – while still hanging in ...read more

I have to apologize for being out the past couple weeks. I had to focus on my small business so that I could attend a show/sale over the past weekend. And now I have to apologize for this RIB being shorter than normal. I caught the Birka plague at the medieval event where I ...read more

Hello all, and welcome to this week's installment of Raw is Blogged, brought to you by CJ Blaze. It's been awhile since I've filled in for the Queen, so hopefully you enjoy!Raw StartsIn Ring Segment > B+ Roman Reigns surprisingly had a mixed reaction and not a complete boo fest. ...read more

Hey guys! I'm taking over for Kendra Bunyon just for this week so bear with me as we may not coincide in terms of our opinions but I will also be brutally honest so don't worry about that either!RAW (01.09.17)Backstage Segment - Stephanie McMahon gives Mick Foley his performance ...read more

I know that WNW is a PG site, but this RIB isn't exactly PG. I kinda let it all hang out this week, so please don't read if you're easily offended. Further, these views reflect my opinion, and mine alone, and do not reflect those of Richard Gray, WNW, or anyone who writes for ...read more

I'm going to jump right in as this episode of Raw dragged so badly that I don't have it in myself to drag it out any further.Raw Starts In Ring Segment > A- Steph slammed Punk! Dang, she didn't hold back there, and I have to say that I'm thrilled the WWE did that, and Steph sold ...read more

So, last night I had my medieval monthly meeting and completely forgot to edit and post this. All on me. Therefore there's no opening. Now I have to go get the SmackDown Breakdown edited and posted, so that will be up very soon as well. (EDIT: There won't be a SD Breakdown this ...read more

Much of this episode of Raw was a breath of fresh air. Much of it was uplifting, and made me feel a bit better, both physically, and about the WWE. I'm sorry there wasn't an RIB last week. I was quite sick, and in bed for the majority of the week. The last thing you needed was ...read more

I've been begging, screaming, for the WWE to look back at the things that they did that the fans loved. Fighting in different locations, changing up how things are done so they're not the same every week. It seems as though someone is finally listening and doing something about ...read more

This was a solid Raw, much better than expected, and rather than dawdle this week, I'm just going to jump right in and see what they gave us! Oh, one thing, the title this week came from something Zack said in the WNW WWE Raw Open Thread Discussion. It stuck out at me, so I took ...read more

Actually, I love scarves. I have a scarf collection that rivals Jericho's, other than in cost. I'm living on a fixed income, so no $750 scarves from Vienna for me. Though I have friends who just came back from Vienna and if I'd asked, they would have brought me home a scarf. Not ...read more

What a long and amazing weekend! For me every weekend in October was booked, which is very unusual for me. Between medieval events, a (medieval) wedding, and our yearly trip up the coast, my month was full, other than the last weekend of the month. I was looking forward to that ...read more

While this episode of Raw wasn't great, it made me that much more excited to go to HIAC. I think, if I wasn't going, I would have been more disappointed in Raw than I was. Raw has really struggled to keep up with SmackDown Live, and it's the glaring issue in the WWE right now, ...read more

I had my monthly medieval meeting this evening, so this is later than I wanted it to be, so I'm going to jump right in. I truly believe that Mitch 'Big M' is the only person I know who l really doesn't like New Day, and since he reviews SmackDown, he doesn't get a chance to get ...read more

“If Raw wasn't a three-hour show, I'd be more willing to watch those, 'immediately following Raw…' things, but after three hours, and having to work in the morning, it just doesn't happen,” said Stacy. I think that completely sums up my feeling about three hour Raw as well. Or, ...read more

It was more than time to change the Raw set, and I love what they did, other than putting announce back up by the stage again. I will never understand why it's up there. It didn't work last time they did in on Raw, it didn't work well for WCW or TNA. The only place it's worked is ...read more

I'm posting this late as I was scheduled to be at a family reunion in a small Maine amusement park (Funtown Splashtown USA) for the day, and only getting back for SmackDown Live. Honestly, I missed the first half hour of SmackDown, but while I'm writing this after SmackDown ...read more

We are dropping DISH. Now, we are doing it because the ONLY thing we really watch on 'regular TV' is wrestling and Doctor Who. Now, we can get creative about Doctor Who, but I will have to get more creative about wrestling. I know it can be found, like much of Raw is on Hulu on ...read more
