RAW is boring. It’s not bad, necessarily, but it’s long, unfocused, sloppy and boring. There is too much filler both in the ring and out. Why have 5 backstage segments about the same show-long story arc if only 1 or 2 of them are actually going to advance the story?
Outside of Owens & Jericho: Best Buds, the show is devoid of fun. SmackDown has Slater & Rhyno, AJ Styles is cutting the best promos of his life, Miz and Ziggler’s passionate performances and there’s minimal involvement of the show’s authority figures.
Can’t forget James Ellsworth, either. RAW is the same as always, plus, it’s three hours long, which is so often very hard to get all the way through in one sitting.

About the author
Nicholas A. Marsico
I got my first big break writing for 411Mania back in 2004. I did a small spot in a big weekly piece that was written by one of the site's top writers. I quickly added the duty of being the live recapper for episodes of SmackDown, and in 2005 was given my own weekly column, which I did for a few years. I gave up writing (mostly) to start a family but got back into it, still at 411, a little over 3 years later. For another couple of years, I wrote 2-3 columns per week for the website before finding paid work elsewhere, and eventually wound up at SportsKeeda.
I am also the co-founder of the RBR: Weekly Wrestling Talk podcast, which started in the summer of 2005 and is still going strong today, almost 15 years later. Due to school, work, and family commitments, I left the team in 2011 but still remain a part of the family.
