The end of an era this past Monday as RAW aired for the last time on USA. It first aired on USA January 1993. This Monday it will air on Netflix. Be interesting to see how this plays out. Smackdown made its move to USA awhile back and will stay on USA.

It will be interesting to see how Raw fairs on Netflix, as they've struggled with their live events ever since the Paul/Tyson fight, not mistaking they're was some streaming issues during the Christmas day NFL games.

Did read something that with Raw moving to Netflix, I guess WWE will be producing more edgier content than before, don't think it will be comparable to the attitude era type content, but hopefully more of a nod back to that time, which was the best time to watch. I'll give it a try, especially if we get all this bad weather they're talking about and can't get out of the house.

I am hoping it works. Not sure why the move, well I am sure $$$$ is the reason. As for the content I have seen where it will continue to be PG and I hope it does. I watch it with my son and really hope the content stays like it is. It already toes the line at times. Of course being on Netflix I am sure they will cross that line at times. Only time will tell.

Any predictions for the first episode?

It's a loaded card for sure. I am looking forward to Seth Rollins Vs CM Punk. The promo they put out was phenomenal. A lot of truth and a lot of cinema in it. Both definitely took their shots. I am also curious to see the plan for Cena's final year.

Read an article where HHH said it will still remain the same rating, but like you said moving to Netlfix, they will push the envelope on certain things so to say, which they already had went that direction the last year or so, especially since the Rock made his comeback. It's something they won't need to do all the time to keep the fans invested, but I'm sure the bigger storylines will have more edge to them.

Hogan getting booed out of the arena was my favorite part. There was absolutely no back-up plan and the announcers just had to sit and sell all the ads.

Very interesting segment. I would imagine we will see WWE start to distance themselves from Hogan now after that.

---

I will give the show an A+ from my perspective. Was a little confused with the Rock. I thought he would come out and call out either Cody or Roman but thinking either he has put it on the back burner or just playing the role of corporate last night.
I am curious to see how Cena's last run goes.. Hope he isn't there just to put guys over. I would like to see him have a good last run. Doesn't have to win title but don't want him going out losing a lot either.
I think Seth/Punk was good and look forward to seeing that feud continue. No way they will be done after one match. I can see this one going on to at least maybe 3 matches. Wrestlemania being the final one maybe but who knows.
With Roman winning I wonder what happens to the Solo and the Bloodline story now. Sort of seems that may have killed it some. Of course they have done good at rekindling it so don't know what they will do from here.
Drew/Jey was ok but don't see it going forward. I do think Drew is working towards becoming a champ even though he lost last night. He is playing this role really good and him and KO both are playing the jealous heel very good.

Los Angeles was possibly one of the worst choices to use a post-scandal, crazy politics & compulsive lies Hogan out in front of. For the compulsive lies part, Cornette has a 30 minute podcast where they go over some, and that's before he flirted with Scientology.

Let's be real, he was there to promote his new beer and they wanted him for the nostalgia pop and spectacle, so nobody got what they wanted, fans included.

Absent Hogan getting even more negative publicity (which isn't out of the question), I don't think it's as if they never use him again though, but they will be much more selective about when they do and how they present him. I doubt he gets booed if he comes out to give a wounded veteran an award in Oklahoma City or is granting a Make a Wish in Omaha.

Cena should have a good last run. Was never a fan of his character but he's done a lot of really charitable things and I think they'll have him go over a few big names. Know that they are billing this as his retirement, but I'll be shocked if that's the last we see of him on screen. It may be nothing more than some interference or an intro to get a pop, but I can't imagine this will actually be the end. Think he'll put over a Gunther or Breaker here and there, but will also get victories over some Punk and Cody's in some matches where he runs wild on the "five moves of doom" criticisms.

I'm over the Bloodline storyline at this point. I'd already been over The Rock for decades. They did really well with the slow burn, but now it's getting so played out with someone getting jumped in the lead in on Raw or Smackdown and interference at the PPVs. Don't know why, but it really jumped the shark for me when they added Bronson Reed for War Games-- that took away from the whole exclusivity of it being within their family and the WG match and angle would have been just fine if they'd have put Zayn or even Punk in a different spot on the card and left Solo's team as-is. Am a big fan of Tama Tonga and hope he eventually gets some more depth to his character, but the only real payoff left for me in this current storyline is seeing how Punk calls in his favor with Heyman and any associated swerves.

Fan of Drew and KO. Saw KO at a live PPV and he worked his ass off. Definitely not the most gifted guy, but he's an everyman worker that gets the most out of what he has. He's actually one of the few guys that I think can seamlessly transition from face to heel (and play both well) depending on what's needed to keep things fresh.
