Bryan Alvarez's WWE Raw report - Raw is sword: Wrestling Observer Live 

Bryan Alvarez: Watching 3 hours of Raw so we dont have to and report it to us in under 10 mins. Thank you sir 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Bryan opens the video by channeling a spirit from the Netherworld.

I haven't watched Raw or SD in probably like 3 years, I just see stuff like this sometimes and Iv got no regrets whatsoever.

"Children can be made in that time, that's a long time for some people" Mike you treasure

In a wrestling match, you’re supposed to beat someone up until they are unable to kick out of a three count. No one in wwe seems good enough of a wrestler to do this.

Upon opening the video, I thought aliens had found me there for a second.

“It’s tough to rely on someone who always gets hurt.” *laughs in 14 time wwe/world champion Randy Orton*

Man, I was drinking when he said "Dave Meltzer digression" and I laughed so hard that lemon water came out of my nose

What's with the sound in your videos lately? lol

"Remember when Jinder Mahal was champion?" I do my best to forget, Bryan. But thanks for the reminder. 😞

RAW: Really Awful Wrestling

Fuck! that opening was rough

Seriously, I watched a couple of clips from this episode of RAW and it feels like a morning show for kids. I half expected Barney the dinosaur to show up at some point.

WWE stans: "Who cares!! More viewers than AEW!!! That's all that matters!!"

I can’t watch 3 hours of Raw. I keep up with it cause of you guys thank you. Keep up the good work !!!

Drew was walking down the street and this large guy stopped him and gave him this look. Drew was ready for a fight but asked the big guy what he wanted. The big then spoke: "I need about three fitty!"

The Jinder/Drew feud is just copy/paste from the Corbin/Nakamura crown story

Raw is slowly becoming a D&D Game. Were just missing a 20 sided dice

McIntyre tellin those stories isn't gonna work in front of a crowd.

You can set your watch to Vince. We kept hearing reports for months that Vince was high on the Roman story, which coincided with SD being ok and RAW being terrible and repetitive. But then RAW becomes ok and SD becomes terrible and repetitive and like clockwork reports come in of VInce being high on a RAW story. Despite having 100 writers or whatever Vince runs WWE with an iron fist but he can only concentrate on one show at a time. This isn't a new thing, it's been this way for 15+ years now, RAW and SD are never decent at the same time, never. Go ahead and watch for it yourself, RAW will be the decent show for awhile and SD the the wretched, repetitive B show until Vinces attention shifts again. When SD gets ok again, watch for reports of Vinny Mac being high on a SD story and for RAWs rapid decline.

sorry to everyone's ears for the glitch at the start, fixed

How low do the ratings have to get before Vince pulls out the 3MB reunion gimmick?

Drew McIntyre is a great worker, but his character is beyond cringe. He’s at the point where seth rollins was a babyface in 2019. I’m not sure who has the most cringe gimmick on raw rn. It’s between Drew McIntyre & Nikki “ASH”

RAW is indeed RAW is Sword! Magic, sword fighting history lessons lots of rematches as well RAW IS SO AWFUL it’s ridiculous it gets worse and worse every Monday

Rollins failed miserably as a face after Brock put him over. Now McIntyre is officially a failure as well.

Dew Drop can never be said without laughing everytime,what a joke!!! LOL

haven't watched RAW in nearly 4 years, something tells me that I haven't missed much.....

I think we can all agree that Raw is the worst wrestling show of all time right now nothing can't top this abomination of a show

Is the feud over a sword really that far removed from how it used to be? I mean, I remember Tatanka and Rick Martel feuding over a feather.

The 3MB were a midcard act, the fact that almost a decade later 2 of the members are feuding in the main event tells you everything you need to know about how deep WWE has fallen into irrelevancy

"Not a black and white issue" is a pretty poor choice of words when referring to Jaxson Ryker.

I didn't watch Raw last night this might be a weekly thing for me because Raw Absolutely sucks and it's painful to sit through for 3 hours

"Dave Meltzer digression" 😶

“Shankly” “Shanky” “Don’t correct me Mike!”

Lol @ the skyrim sword in the thumbnail

Here before Jimmy Uso Racks Up his 5th DUI … 👀

With what I hear of RKBro and how Riddle is, quite possibly, the best thing on Raw, I say give the title to Riddle and see what he can do with it. But, I know they won't do it, but it would make some fascinating television, in my opinion.

I guess if Nakamura and Corbin can fight over a crown that has no importance whatsoever in storyline, there's no reason Drew and Jinder can't fight over a sword that neither will use to end the other.

Booker T and Edge had a feud over shampoo..

Jinder must be the Indian Canadian version of Eddie since he steals everything lol

Wait, are you telling me Charlotte and Rhea can have a lightsaber fight on the same show where Drew and Jinder fight over a sword? Then what the hell was Roman whining about Nia and Lana doing a table spot on the same night as him for? Nia and Lana NEEDED tables, Roman can't possibly be that un-creative or selfish. At least I hope not.

What I don't get is e drones claim that all AEW does is bad comedy stuff but they sit through a 3 hour "comedy" show masquerading as a wrestling show? Some day I may figure out how anyone actually watches and enjoys wwe.

I'm trying to wrap my head around the Charlotte and Rhea Ripley storyline. Charlotte came out there and was faking an injury to try to get out of the title match. This would work were she champion, but she's not. Were she successful she would have cost herself and opportunity at the title. Jackie_Chan_Dafuq.jpg

One might say that those who write this program don't understand wrestling. Oh wait, one did!!!

The only reason we've got matches for next week is it's already taped so Vince can't tear up the script a hour before they go live. Those matches in two weeks, though? Who knows.

Jinder Mahal is a biker? Are they reforming D.O.A.?

Poor Drew. He was the hottest babyface on Earth back in January from the past year. Now after two good WWE title runs they decide to send him to the midcard and have a feud with Jinder Mahal revolving around a tweet and his sword. WWE's creative team just ruin everything good. Now I fear for Riddle.

Alvarez is the hero we deserve. Thank you for watching so we don’t have to!

Drew McIntyre: won the royal rumble Main event WrestleMania Beat Brock Won the WWE title Has a long reign Loses is Gains it back Loses it again Qualify for mitb Now he's feuding over a sword

"Nikki Cross" "Alexa Bliss" "Sasha Banks" "Eva Marie" "Bianca Belair"..... Why do these all sound like porn names to me? Whatever happened to using more memorable names like "Crush" or "Hulk"?

Doudrop looked really lost last night. She missed a ton of spots.

**gd mike is nails on a chalkboard** 🤨

Where the Fuck is Keith Lee??

5 matches announced. Probably like two of those actually happening is overly optimistic

Jinder Mahal is the Bangladeshian Lou Thez.

That glitching noise at the start of these videos has got to go, its awful

1:27. So, basically AEW?

not gonna lie i'm interested in this drew vs jinder thing, that is if they do not screw it up

Thank you for your services Bryan Alvarez, we wouldn’t know how shitty Raw is without you

This is the modern day version of the Repo Man "repoing" Macho Man's hat. Jinder stole his sword...

I just watch NXT. It’s the only place where their women’s division is treated with respect.

I really hope double W does a 'turkey on a pole' match.

Drew, Kofi and Matt riddle. I feel so sorry for these guys for being on such a godawful show

Dave is rubbing off on Bryan LOL

The f**ing skyrin sword lol

Mason Teebar is my favorite wrestler

Yeah Sonny Kiss though, RIP WWE

The Botches-on-Twitter thing doesnt have to be as incompetent as it seems. When you tell people your social meida numbers, you talk about how many "impressions" you got, how much "intereaction" you had with your posts. You don't tell them that 40% of your retweets are people making fun of you or talking about how shit your product is or meme-ing the shit out of you. You just tell them the number. If the botches get more "interactions" than the other stuff, posting that kind of shit all the time is actually smart, marketing wise.

The start..... Thought my earphones broke

When job guys are in your "top feud" you're in trouble. Lets get Heath Slater back BAYBAY to complete the look

Can they just release Eva Marie already

Very fair review, good job dirt sheeters

Also still no Toni storm on NXT 👎

Karrion ASH

WWE thinks the fans are enjoying their attempt at comedy so they figure let’s hire more comedy writers. The sad thing is they don’t or choose not to realize is they’re being funny but not for the right reasons. They think the fans are laughing with them when in actuality they’re laughing at them for choosing to be bad & unwatchable. Fans get more laughs for watching Bryan, Dave, Mike, Solomonster, Simon Miller, the rest of the WhatCulture Wrestling Guys & every other wrestling journalist on RU-vid review what happened on RAW, NXT & Smackdown than actually watching the shows because of how ridiculous the storytelling & matches come across with how bad they are booked. If their goal was to make fans laugh without watching the show then they exceeded expectations in that department, but you would hope they want fans to laugh from actually watching the show & not the exact opposite.

Teegan Knox needs to move to the office.

i love how a paid for, professional podcast still cant handle how to podcast

This channel just keep torturing my headphones!!

Reality is glitching 😕😕

Sure Drew’s promos are wanky at the minute but his in ring work has been great

Nice haircut Bryan. Pause.

Shayna should go to NXT

The static sound at the beginning was something. But this show was fine not bad not good riddle vs styles was the best match of the night

Fighting over a Sword classic dumb WWE writing from Vince McMahon & Bruce Prichard

Raw sounds painful to watch

How dumb of a champion do you have to be to run straight into the ring whilst a match is going on WHILST THE MOST SUCCESSFUL 24/7 CHAMPION IS IN THAT MATCH BTW. I keep saying it but I'm really about to be over WWE

It's getting more and more obvious that this program is brought to you by Tony Khan.

May wanna get that glitch in the matrix sorted out, guys. That makes for an annoying intro. ;)

Jinder is awesome!

They get pinned....Whatever. lol

Nessi😂 This show is a joke😂

Only thing missing from Jinder vs Drew is the wwe championship

9:20 keep that same energy on Wednesday night my friend lol

👎

Drew mcintyre great at his job ???? ZERO CHARISMA. Stop it!! This guy belongs in the second match. Guy blows.
