Yeah, everything felt really rushed, and the commercials were more intrusive than ever. It was like we had a commercial free first hour of Raw, but they forgot to air that hour.
Just without the hour😂😂
I actually liked Rollins stepping on Punk's exit cuz that keeps their feud on our minds, and then Jey doing the same to Rollins makes me think we could get a banger from Jey and Rollins down the line.
IC title scene is great, Reed, Breakker, Seth, maybe even Sami will get back in there
Banger from jey uso no yeet
Yeah it was well done Steve has some miss takes every now and then and that was one of them
Once it gets to netflix i think we're gonna enter an insane era of wrestling
Hello, Steve. Potentially getting my gallbladder removed this week. Been back in the ole hospital. Thanks to you and Larson, for keeping me sane. Much love. I’ll keep the Friendos updated.
@@tylerwarden93 eeek dude hoping for the best and a complete recovery!! Best wishes friendo!!
Hope the surgery goes well. Had mine removed a couple years ago so I can relate. 👍 Stay strong.
Wish you the best man! Let us know how it goes!

Kairi and Iyo have had one minute of screen time the last 2 weeks despite being more over than anyone in that 10 woman tag, What are we even doing here?
My favorite thing about being a part of the IWC, is when fans predict a whole lot of hogwash for a wrestling show, --because, pfft! They can totally predict the product just by looking at the match card-- and then lose their collective shit, when absolutely nothing goes according to how Triple H definitely should have booked it in their heads.
And if they’re right they call it boring and predictable 😂😂
I've been on a 6 month streak of being consistently right in my predictions since mania. If you're watching the product and you understand the stories being told and HHH's particular brand of booking. It's not super hard to "predict" because the stories are GOOD and they end the way they should for the most part.
10 women 1 match. That's some RAW 2008 sh right there 😂
All it needed was the divas title on the line😂
@@emiliomendoza8234They should have gone 2005 Raw and had a bra and panties match at least that way it could justify the quick women match with so many involved.
WWE really trying to put women in the bathroom break spot. WTF lol.
And it was better back then
Raw 2008 >>>>>>> today
No Damian Priest on Monday seems sacrilegious.
The problem is that, they have a stacked roster prepped for a 3 hour show. Now they have to cut a whole lot. It's gonna be a weird couple months.
Xavier Woods vs Jey Uso i thought could of been better however most of the match being in picture and picture during the ad break didn't help, 10 women tag match being the only women's match felt like old era Raw
People swear the fictional “triple H era” is so great. He inherited a turnkey company lol! He didn’t forge shit from the ground up. It’s really the Nick Khan era he’s been the new factor from 2019 to now and Triple H will soon be exposed for being mid
With War Games right around the corner, HHH has to make the women's war games match make sense.
It's even worse in the uk becuase they don't do picture in picture so it's just constant ad breaks.
@@ScarFeissBro The Show Was Cut An Hour Last Week Was Still 3 & Felt Flushed Out This Was Just Khaotic Because The Time Was Shorten. You So Ready To Jump Down Trips Neck Chill TF Out
@@RCHeadhuncho1 well that’s too bad for you because it’ll be 2 hours for the rest of the year. And you don’t know enough about me to say I’m ready to criticize triple K, I mean triple H. I’ve been anti triple h since about 2001 or so. Never been a fan and he’s mindfucking you 🤡s
I was waiting for the third hour lol
I totally forgot it was gonna be 2 hours
The dude in the fire at the Circle 6 show was Krule (unfortunately named Mads Krüger in MLW) and he said on Twitter the spot worked how they planned and he is fine. Also mentioned that since he lives in NC, he's more concerned about the fact that he and his family are without power still cuz of the hurricane.
i think people underestimated how short 2 hours is, it felt soooo rushed and too many commercials
3 hour Raw is good actually
Raw hasn’t been 2 hours for literally half of my life, thats wild. I was 12 in 2012, and im 24 now
Same I remember it was the week right before Raw 1000 and I was going into sixth grade
Bro I’m 23 I know how you feel the only 2 hour raws ive seen are the ones I don’t remember from when I was a kid and the old shows I’ve watched as an adult lmao
23 & 24 Years Old Acting Like Yall Old 😂 How About Being 33 & Missing The Monday Night Wars Version Of All This Shit Hit Different
@@RCHeadhuncho1 i dont think im old, its just crazy how the passage of time works
The big X behind the winged nxt logo was celebrating 10 years of nxt
Smackdown goes to 3 hours and they worry about how to fill the 3rd hour, just let Tama Tonga go gremlin mode for an hour
This felt like a Vince made raw
That indie wrestling thing was absolutely heinous. They ruined that man's life because they chose to do some poorly executed fire spot.
I get up early for work so oftentimes I'll miss most of RAW and just watch it the next day. But by then I'll have seen spoilers by accident. So at first I was excited cuz I could watch the whole show and be in bed before 10
But watching it felt like everything was zoomed thru and others were just cut out. I immediately missed the full 3hrs. Worst of it was the women's match. I gave me that feeling from back in the Divas era where you can tell they didn't care they just stuffed them all on cuz you knew they had to have the women on the show. I felt bad for all the performers.
So I watch WWE and AEW after the fact without all the commercials, and a two hour show is only an hour and fifteen minutes long, not including the Picture in Picture ads. Advertising is taking up nearly half the TV time, and this needs to stop!
I told yall. We finally got tons of good stories and now look. How was the show ruinning at 1.5x speed yet we get the same volume of commercials.
This was history making raw "no judgment day mandatory backstage segment after 2.5 years"
A 2 hour Raw was weird. No time for Judgement Day 😯
More time for them next week
It feels weird knowing the taped show after would make it into a nice 3 hour raw
Raw has been on fire for a long time i was confused why people were happy for a two hour raw
19:00 Every now and then someone's post will get into these videos with a very good point (in this case about WWE being able to give them title changes on these Saudi shows without affecting titles that mater), and Steve will proceed to read only the first sentence of the post and address that without ever reading any of the good point the poster was making 😂
That is a good point. Although, I'm pretty sure the title was created just so Cody's "Undisputed" title can actually make sense. If he beats Gunther, he is the undisputed champion.
I love how Steve saw someone using 'Wrestlejuice' and just went 'Ah that's cool, I hope they have a good show.'
The beef is on collision...quite literally. Got mutilated by yuta
That 10 women tag match felt like a 2008 Divas match. I hated it
13:24 Was anyone else thinking of something other than beer at this moment?
My gen-z brain likes that it's fast tracked.
It flew by fast. I liked the match with Sheamus vs. Pete Dunn. That spot on the barrels through the tables was the best part of the whole show.
I'm not surprised Raw wasn't good for the first 2-hour show. Not to give excuses, but the Raw team basically has to change their entire philosophy about booking television. It makes sense that they had pacing issues on the first show and they had a rushed show.
2 hour Raw was better. Nothing felt filler. It really kept me engaged and felt more “must watch”. I respect your opinions though. Maybe we can settle on 2 and a half hours
Steve, “Where’s the beef”? That’s what the kids today want. 80’s Wendy’s references. 😂Although, what would I know about today’s youth? I’m old AF too.😐Man, my back hurts.
Steve behind Giovani is the other half of the Bollywood Boyz
Finally Made it into a WrestleJuice Video 🙏🎉
I am never gonna miss 3 hours, no wrestling show should be 3 hours unless it’s a b-ppv. Or if wwe did one of those special one off shows like AEW do on occasion then I’ll be cool with it. You don’t need 3 hours to book the women better. I see one hour wrestling shows that give their women more time. WWE just need to do better.
It felt like he doesn't know how to book a 2 hour show
Which is weird considering #SmackDown is 2 hours.
I think we miss the third hour for two main reasons, we are used to the third hour so it feels like underdelivered and there were some pacing issues in this week's RAW as WWE might be getting used to the change themselves. We will get used to this by the year end and bam we are back to 3 hours. In last few months the RAW's third hour hasn't felt overbearing as much as it used to.
Raw should definitely be 3 hours. Tonight was a disaster
It's hard to put down the 2 hour Raw switch just yet. It was the first one after a major PPV with a major feud blow off, and talents were injured or taking the night off. There were pacing issues, but I don't think the Punk/Seth bit was a part of that. Smackdown doesn't need 3 hours though. It doesn't have the roster to support it. Raw has the opposite problem where there are certain talents that they're going to have to realize aren't going to be needed on a weekly basis, most of which were in that 10-woman tag match.
I guess it's an unpopular opinion, but I prefer Raw being 2 hours. I can't remember the last time I was able to sit through an entire 3 hour Raw. It's just exhausting to sit through especially late at night sometimes.
People say that lower card talent won't get on tv, but I can't remember the last time I was excited to see a 2 minute tag team match where Shayna and Zoey squash Kayden Carter and Katana Chance. A lot of the 3rd hour feels like filler that I usually don't even bother watching if I miss a show and watch the TH-cam clips.
How is that an unpopular opinion? Since Raw became 3 hours all I have ever seen is people complaining about 3 hours being way too long for a weekly wrestling show. Now its 2 hours and suddenly people are complaining about it being too short? Tbf I mostly only see people wanting 3 hours here, other places I see 2 hours being prefered.
I completely agree. I've disliked 3 hour Raws for awhile and I thought everyone agreed, but ever since the change was announced I've seen people wanting 3 hours.
Crazy that this is the first 2 hour raw in the history of Going in Raw.
Da Mack was awesome in the CWC. Him and Jason Lee were highlights for me.
I think this is the only wrestling channel that is critical of losing the 3rd hour, every other channel I watch was celebrating this. The variety of opinions is welcomed tho
Yep, and honestly shocked to see many people wanting 3 hours, cause since Raw became 3 hours all I ever saw was people complaining (myself included) that 3 hours is too long for a weekly show.
We wanted 2hrs of RAW under vince. It has over all been a much easier and enjoyable watch since he's been gone. @@Keeperodd
I went to the show last night & I missed it too. That said we did to get to the taping for next week’s Raw which was cool.
I forgot completely.
CM Punk not caring about main eventing the PPV is a lot of personal growth, I'd be kinda pissed it's Dwayne again too.
Bro Punk didn't main event because Roman and Cody teaming up is more important and they both had bands during their entrances and it was Roman 1st match since WM with Jimmy also returning why wouldn't that be the main event? Roman and Cody are the main guys with the main story not to mention it was also Cody's hometown.
@@tyyrreekk9005 And that’s all understandable if it wasn’t BAD BLOOD of all pay-per-views and a B show. It didn’t matter if somebody was the hometown guy, first match back, the champion or not at any of the prior events because it was a gimmick of sorts. The blood feud that got hell in a cell ended the show every time. Which is why more people clamored for this, spoke about backstage politics and CM Punk “crying”.
@@HorrorParadise So this is where we are in wrestling now? Instead of enjoying it for what it was we're gonna cry about a match not being in a main event we're creating problems that aren't even there if it was really an issue Punk would've said something HHH is the one booking this stuff not Rock just let HHH cook obviously he knows what he's doing.
Why do you refer to CM punk as Punk and not Phil but you refer to the rock as Dwayne and not the rock?
@@tyyrreekk9005 So because people didn’t want someone in the main event for once it’s suddenly a new issue!? How do you think Bryan got into WM 30? Do you know how many champions haven’t main evented a show or major show? I know it’s a lost art now, but lord. Triple H can cook without ruining traditions of his company in his commemoration events. That’s the kinda unbiased dialogue I rather have. It’s not THAT deep of course, but damn. People can voice their opinion about what’s deserving or not. I don’t know why we’re making it about what they felt. It’s just viewers talking. They wouldn’t care anyways because they are rich and their match couldn’t even be followed up. Whether that was the intent or not, but yeah.
Steiner did kinda look like colonel sanders 🤣
Did you just ignore my History of The "Real" history of the Royal Rumble video... I'm hurt Steve I'm hurt...
The show called out that couple who canceled their honeymoon to see Rhea, knowing full well Rhea wasn't going to be there lol
She was on the second show
I had just graduated from high school in 2012
This why I don't get why people thought Raw going 2 hours would make things better. However, i want to see how they are going to adapt. Since Raw has a larger roster than Smackdown because it has been 3 hours for so long.
Everything last night felt rushed, the matches, backstage segments, the promos. No Judgement Day was fine to me, refreshing. I'm fed up of them.
The 10 women tag match barely got crowd reactions because it was random, made no sense and there was no build up and no storyline to it. I was confused. Triple h doesn't care about the women's division. The booking is atrocious, he's just putting them in the ring just to say there was a women's match. Nothing to make people interested in them. Just random matches with no storylines.
IDC what y'all say, three hours is too much for any wrestling show on TV, NXT and smackdown have been two hours for years and do decent shows. Raw has no excuses.
I agree with you 100%. This show moved at a fast clip and didn't drag at all. They just need to re-adapt and learn to make better use of the time like they do with the other shows. There was no need to have Sexy red out there. Then two back to back promos after her. Otherwise, it felt like there was more wrestling and less filler. I didn't feel wiped out at 9:30 knowing there was still another 1.5 hours to go.
I'm with both ya. Give them time to adjust to 2 hours
3 hours is not too much. Raw desperately needed a 3rd hour tonight
Raw has a bigger roster and lots of people who are in stories, those are good excuses imo
@@DouglasLFC23 Just say you hate wrestling
January cant come any sooner
Can you guys do another reaction video to your old skits like you did for the anniversary that shit was hilarious
I’m gonna miss all 3 hours when they move to Netflix lol. But luckily there’s still NXT & Smackdown is moving to 3 hours allegedly and the PLEs are staying on Peacock. They need to streamline all 3 shows to 2.5 hours each which will only be about 20-30 more minutes overall
Steve they did a double taping of RAW 1st was Live 2nd will air next week
This is what a lot of people wanted, lol. How else could they air more talent with the limited time slots. Jam up all the good & bad guys throw them in a multi tag match or 2-3 minute squash matches
I do agree it a little rush but then again I thought what we got was solid overall like Wwe planing more seeds into Seth Rollins and Cm Punk and possibly Seth Rollins turning heel. In addition I thought the in ring wrestling on the show was really good making for a pretty good show.
Hate when my favorite world champion wrestler gets called in for HVAC repair and misses the PPV 😭
Whelp, this was going to happen. That is why 3 hours is necessary when they got massive roster, if we can get approved, they should have made it 2 and a half hours of raw.
They could've just got the Smackdown crew to run it because Smackdown knows how to run 2 hours. And what was with the 7 commercial breaks in the first hour?
8:40 fun fact: Sean Maluta is a member of the Anoai family meaning he could be a member of the bloodline!
Terrible title/thumbnail.
This isn't a 3rd hour of Raw problem its a HHH being a bad booker problem. Explain to me what has been truly compelling about the woman's division on Raw since Mania that doesn't involve Rhea and Liv. You can't...because HHH refuses to build up other feuds or characters in that division. I still can't identify who is who in the pure fusion collective or the other group. I haven't been actively watching WWE for the last 10 years to know these womans long term history. They are just bodies in the ring that I have zero attachment to.
A 3 hour Raw doesn't change this. Maybe a 6 hour Raw would but that assumes HHH cares enough to ever flesh out woman as characters with promo time, vignettes, and saga like stories to rival or surpass Judgment Day / Bloodline.
Let them cook. It’s not going to be perfect right off the bat, and they do seem to listen to the feedback. It’s been 3 hours for over a decade, more than that, so it’s easy to see the rough transition.
Circle 6 also tried booking nic gage while he's in rehab
Half of the matches were Picture in Picture matches during commercials.
Steve! They taped 2 shows today because of Europe shows so maybe they condensed it and rushed everything because of that and maybe afterwards they'll give it room to breathe!
I'm still trying to figure out why The Witches were even in that tag match. Also if they still want the Pure Fusion Collective to still be a thing they need matching gear.
They just threw some women together and send them out just so people can say there was a women's match. Triple h doesn't know how to book the women's division at all.
It’s the first show. I have faith hhh will get it together soon
I was rejected by my crush in the 7th grade in 2012. I was even wearing plaid cargo shorts and my favorite Batman tee, don’t really know what went wrong there.
I think we gotta wait until the rosters get sorted out. Theres too much talent on raw cause they had to cover that extra hour. Now its gone and they try and squeeze everything they were already doing into 2. The change would have made more sense after a PPV when they didnt already start 3 hours worth of stories and feuds.
i was about to start college in 2012
We had a post show up here in Canada, I didn't watch it but it was there
I did. It was basically recap and interviews. Kofi and Xavier were talking, maybe it'll come out as a digital exclusive.
0:11
I was like 2 so I genuinely don’t remember anything haha. My thoughts are pretty negative about this episode.
The “Wheatley, we’re drinking Neatly” and that terrible TurboTax ad killed the show for me. The only good match was the Donnybrook match. Ads butchered all matches outside of Sheamus vs Dunne.
I was there for the HIAC and I was laughing my ass off for the entire match and loved it but I hated the ending of course!
I miss the 3rd hour too
Wrestling shows gotta be longer, not shorter
They'll get it together.
Thank you for reacting to cherry show wrestling for a second time ! :))))
I like the two hours
YA NEVER KNOW YOU HAD IT TILL ITS GONE, On a serious note it was always good to just have on and watch. Idk I just never saw the 3 hours being a bad thing no matter the product (as of rn) it was good to have it for others to get alil more in and it not be rushed. Plus it can be good background if you didnt care for something happening and shit lmao
alot of people were missing the show only three people missing show made sense drew Bronson Braun STROWMAN because they are keyfabe injured but whole men judgement day and Damien , whole lwo including Rey , Wyatt six , final testament except karrion , American made , alpha academy they were all missing from the show is this good decision ? Is 2 hour raw good if these many people won't even get a tv time every week (people in this list will float I mean but this amount of people won't get tv time) and there were waaaaay too many commerical i hate picture in picture in any company btw but there was more of that here then dynamite
Raw has been written to fill 3 hours, I think it's ok if the transition into 2 hours is a little strange at the start
Yeah may take them time to adjust. And I think it's only temporary.
Honestly, the whole 10 women stuff just felt like HHH trying to make the women's war games make sense because right now...there really is no reason for a woman's war games match
It shows how fickle wrestling fans are that they complained for years when Raw went to 3 hours and now that it’s back to 2 everyone is complaining that it’s not 3. I hate wrestling fans sometimes.
FICKLE 😂
We still saying Saudi shows don't matter? GUNTHER and Nia became King and Queen of the Ring in Saudi, Seth won the World Heavyweight Title in Saudi, Asuka and Liv have won Women's Titles in Saudi. Belt is ugly as sin but saying it's just because Saudi shows don't matter, they do now.
@@mrwrestlingjr9820 oh we haven’t said that in five years. Since fiend won the title there.
@@WrestleJuice saying "It's a Saudi show and they're not gonna follow through with it" gave me the idea the Super Saudi shows were being dismissed.
I'm now remembering Fiend win the belt by pinning Seth on the floor near the stage. Weird spot for it.
Awful rushed pace, commercial breaks were unbearable, women getting short shrift, it’s a real bummer! 👎
No it should stay 2 hours.
No weekly wrestling show should ever be 3 hours long
I miss the 3hrs lol
I already miss hours 3
2012 I was in a bad love life lmao 21 year old still living at home working as a tree arborist . Love of wrestling fell off a couple years before this
Calling it NXT 2.0 didn't even make any sense. The 2012-2021 version that everyone loves was the second version of NXT.
They should have stayed at 3 hours till Netflix. Question is will Raw on Netflix have commercials or ads. If we get no ads or commercials on Netflix 2 hours would be great
I had WrestleMania 28 party in 2012
I don't
