WWE: Raw and Smackdown Part 4 - The Paul Levesque Era

[TD Charlie]

I think what happened is they had an idea of what they wanted the Wyatts to look like, but no idea what they actually wanted them to do.

Perhaps the best description of them yet

 

[CDJ]

I like the Wyatt stuff but like mentioned previously Bo gotta lose the mask while wrestling

That bump Reed took over the car hood to the pavement was nasty

 

[Emperoreddy]

The trios tag was a lot better. They are probably best featured in party Trios matches.

They should get some fun trios matches out of them vs Final Testament and Judgement Day.

If they want to do more with the stable, adding Alexa might still be the best course of action to get them some star power

I know some people on reddit can't stand Pat, but it really felt like RAW had way less energy without him last night.

I definitely think that...Corey is just not the same, but I also think the naturally heel commentator has ran it's course in current wrestling...

the only one that hasn't just bored me is Nigel, but even he is starting to

I love purely heel commentators if they are hilarious.

"IF" if so, I agree...but Graves isn't that person imo

Wade is pretty good at it, but I agree Corey isn't it. Corey lately is only at his best when doing a 3 person booth with Cole and Pat, and that's largely thanks to Pat.

Nigel has probably been the best pure heel commentator for a good while now. WWE was stupid to push him off to a dying NXT UK and then let him leave. I loved him on Black and Gold NXT with Mauro. Was an awesome pickup for AEW.

I do also agree the concept seems to have run it's course.

Joe was legitimately really good at it. When he decides to call it a career, he really should consider doing commentary

 

[FriendlyGhost92]

The gimmick is fun in theory, and it's a nice story with Bo and Rowan and whatnot. But once they started wrestling with any frequency I think we all knew it would fizzle out almost immediately.

It's almost like this is always what happens with this goofy stuff.

It just doesn't work in wrestling.

 

[Fro]

This is awesome to read

But they're not even leaning into supernatural stuff. The Wyatt Sicks is essentially about trauma.

When you've got Olympians who were actually getting over as legitimate physical threats selling petrified fear of the 5' 2" girl in the zombie mask, it's the same shit.

My favorite broadcast tandem in a long while

Man, you must've hated Undertaker back in the day.

He's not quite as physically imposing as Nikki Cross, true.

The return to the local economy is multiple times the investment if economic impact studies commissioned by interested parties can be believed.

Would be fun to know how much exactly these events bring to the host city, all the major sports events make it public.

Did not see a Miro Klose reference coming from Wade.
