Monday RAW from UK

[Bazzy]

Monday RAW live from Liverpool , England

Wonder if Robbie Brookside will be on it . Once beaten up by Shane McMahon or Kondyke Kate who recent played a fat out of shape Lita (For ADR insult on Edge)

How many black taxis ? Red phone boxes ? Teeth skints ?

Judging by the way they handled RAW in Mexico I'd say they'll probably show some scenic footage during the cutaways to commercial and treat it like any other show. Maybe an appearance by Regal will happen, but that may be the extent of it.

Went to Liverpool today shopping . RAW is live from Liverpool tonight . Walking back from Albert dock shopping area . Saw a crowd stood outside Hilton hotel and a parked limo . Out came WWE Chairman Vince McMahon HONESTLY ! . Waited around about 60 minutes , two parked WWE blacked out windows mini-buses . Sadly no one else came out . It was cold so we left .

Any Raw that doesn't take place in North America usually isn't all that great. They usually try to jam so much into one show to let the fans see as many guys as possible that not much happens. Although this show had more storyline stuff than I thought they would, it wasn't too exciting. I did like the Punk-DelRio stuff though.

I think the reason not much happens on these shows is that they are not broadcast live so WWE knows people will find the results online and more people will not bother to watch - especially when it's going against the NFL.

I liked that there were squash matches on this show. Kofi Kingston should get his ass kicked by ADR. It shouldn't be 50/50 at all. That was a nice shift.

I never turned it on even for one segment. RAW has been bad, it was taped, I read I read afterwards that Twitter's push is 10x stronger than half the roster. If anything could get me to stop watching RAW, and I can't believe I'm saying that, it would be this. Start shoving the social media craze down my throat and I will not watch anymore. Simple as that.

I never turned it on as well and our world is now a very high % about Social Networking and everything from News Stations to Stores have a Twitter & Facebook account. The WWE see's it as a New source to use to push the overall WWE brand and I think it'll grow even bigger and push the older fans away...

I had it on, but fell asleep through half of it. So it shows how exciting it was for me. But that's been par for the course week after week, so nothing new there.

There was actually way less twitter mentions than in previous weeks.

I also don't really understand why this is bothering some people. I only see good things coming out of it. Zach Ryder has proven to them that if someone is entertaining and charismatic off television, they will gain traction and become a money making commodity on the program. i think this is a step in the right direction, certainly. Granted, they can go a little overboard with it, but this is pro wrestling, specifically the WWE. No one has ever accused it of being subtle in any way, shape or form.
