raw underground is trash but here's how
they can save it pro wrestling
bits subscribe now
[Applause]
raw underground is the worldwide
leader's latest get rich quick scheme to
stimulate viewership in the third hour
just like the 24 7 championship which
ended up being a complete joke or that
handful of weeks where they switched the
graphics up in the third hour as if
adobe photoshop was going to get the
young people to watch
raw underground is the latest hair brain
idea sure to disappear by october when
those sports and election ratings really
start getting busy on wwe it's also a
bad shit theory that a fake wrestling
company can reimagine
mma through the increasingly
questionable eyes of vince mcmahon all
to the soundtrack of shane mcmahon
adlibs
i'm not here to tell you all the reasons
why raw underground was a bad idea
greta took care of that the moment this
concept was introduced and i don't know
what it's going to take to turn this
sinking ship around but i can assure you
it ain't doll ziggler pretending to
shoot in denim shout out to him but
maybe it can be saved
maybe this hit or miss cinematic
wrestling era can co-opt raw underground
as some absurd
tongue-in-cheek mel brooksian pro
wrestling version of sharknado a concept
wwe knows is bad
and books accordingly no different from
what went down at talking shop a mania
where bad pro wrestling was put on a
pedestal raw
underground really shouldn't be a thing
but if it has to be wwe needs to join
the rest of the world and making fun of
it creative needs to develop some
semblance of irony and start writing the
most wacky
cheesy and intentionally bad raw
underground story lines that just might
pique the interest of all those
displaced
john cena fans who grew up to be hot
topic customers and now watch aew
less impressions of ufc in the 90s and
more viking princesses
that eric has to save by beating the
town drunk or a rabbit doing the clown
fucking this shouldn't be wwe's take on
ufc or bellator this should be roadhouse
bloodsport my guy no not that one this
one
yeah if ufc decided to start promoting
pro wrestling
except they made the matches real to be
more like ufc and the super kicks hurt
like hell
ufc's audience would be just as confused
and pissed off as wwe's after raw
underground
this is mcdonald's trying to sell
burritos those breakfast burritos do hit
them not gonna lie with the right people
in place the concept of work shoot
wrestling actually works just fine as
evidenced by josh barnett's bloodsport
with gcw
shout out to them but on a mainstream
pro wrestling platform with an audience
conditioned to expect traditional pro
wrestling wwe is antagonizing its own
fan base every second they try to take
this desperate attempt seriously but if
they add
two heaping scoops of pro wrestling to
this potentially innovative concept raw
underground
can become a wwe fever dream of
tongue-in-cheek humor for a viewership
dominated by hardcore fans who know
exactly what chikara is
this isn't the direction wwe should go
in as a whole by the way
playing to a small niche audience and
turning off casual fans is part of what
got us into this mess in the first place
and if it ever wants to get out of this
mess
wwe needs to show a little
self-awareness and have raw underground
embrace
its train wreck qualities
