With that being said. Let's get into the good so here are the top 5 BEST things about Monday Night RAW In 2021.
Watching Podcasts Starring A White Dude That Rants.
I love when a white dude takes a piece of entertainment way too seriously. It just proves that they love this business.
So much in fact, that they would make sexist and racist comments towards performers that had nothing to do with the creative process. I also love how they call fellow pundits a shill for their opinions.
The word "subjective" got nothing on the folks that routinely talk about how they've been a fan for longer than your dad's jacket I guess. They also love comparing WWE to AEW which makes sense considering the full abbreviation of AEW is All Elite Whites.
Distraction Finishes.
Every once in a while, we get the poison Ivy esque distraction. However, NOTHING comes close to the power of the distraction finish.
The distraction finish is so powerful, in fact, it's probably the most protective move in professional wrestling right behind the roll-up.
You gotta give that trope some credit. They did help create a great podcast called "The Distraction" where their skits make WWE's segments look like the Star Wars Christmas special.
"Can They Co-Exist" Trope?
Speaking of the most innovative storytelling device in the history of this industry because it has to be when it is used many, many times.
It's like telling the story of you and your money hoarding, "hardworking" and "risk-taking" boss with this description. The outcome answers the question with a "fuck no".
I know this section is extremely short but so is the ending to the "can they coexist" storyline.
Rematches.
Matches that you've seen a ton are the wrestling's equivalent of reruns but a lot better, CLEARLY!
Why? Because it's a great way to script a series you just wrote minutes into the show.
Rematches on RAW are like The Marine movies. They weren't good the first time so you might as well create a never-ending narrative.
They could call their rematches as a "best of 7" or "best of 10" but that would've made too much sense.
The Storylines Always Play It Out.
The "let it play out" advice is the greatest advice of all time right below the "calm down" advice. You don't believe me? Just ask the Randy Orton and the Bray Wyatt storyline.
It's the best thing to tell fans after watching a show with no clear direction.
When Karrion Kross took a fat L on his Monday Night RAW debut, that was the best time to tell yourself "let it play out" and it did because, for the next several weeks, he came out (without Scarlett Bourdeaux by his side) looking like he has a fetish for torture.
Nothing screams the sentence "I'm cucked" more than this scenario.
To sum it up, "let it play out" is great advice for people with a patience level of 9000!
(WARNING: This is a sarcastic piece so don’t get mad over oily people action).
