On the War Raiders. When they were in NXT they were War Raiders. When they first came up they were The Viking Experience. He then changed their name to The Viking Raiders. Now theirs some type of poll going around that has them listed as The Viking Warriors.

McMahon's best days are well behind him. He really needs to hang it up, but that will never happen. The WWE product is suffering big-time because of his decision-making. Ratings are sinking, talent is unhappy, & creative team members are walking away. Vince is the reason for it all.

I thought his son-in-law and kids basically run the day to day operations now. Vince was more big picture guy and they were the nuts and bolts.

Triple H & Stephanie make the vast majority of the public appearances. Triple H also runs NXT & 205 Live. He's also primarily responsible for all new talent that is brought in. He also has a say in the main roster stuff, but Vince is still 100% in control of creative. He was previously mostly involved with Raw & less hands-on with Smackdown, but that has now changed with Smackdown getting ready to move to Fox in the Fall.

Not to mention with more talent (quantity and quality) than ever packed into each show there is less and less time for talk and that is mostly what Mr. McMahon does is talk.

 

Some of the openings to Raw are mind blowing long and boring.

 

Over the last year or so I always watch Raw and Smackdown on my DVR and I probably fast forward through more than I watch.

Saw that Dean Malenko has left WWE. He's been a producer for the last eight years. Add to that Arn Anderson, who was dismissed recently, Road Dogg who just stepped down as Smackdown's lead writer, and two other writers that left the company.

I first got a satellite dish (and thus the capability to watch Raw) in 1995. Been watching live or recording it ever since. I’ve completely skipped a few episodes the last couple of years when they were particularly bad or not newsworthy. I subscribe to the Wrestling Observer so I keep up with the news on there. I stopped recording Raw last week. I’m done with it until they either find another Rock or Stone Cold (yeah, like that’s gonna happen) or until Vince gives up creative which I’m sure won’t happen as long as he has his mental faculties.

 

I still have the WWE network so I can see NXT and the old stuff from the other territories. It’s mind boggling how good NXT is and how bad Raw is at the same time.
