Kang Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 (edited) Some parts were ok, some parts weren't. Too bad Raw isn't 2 hours .. Edited August 17, 2021 by D.Z 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caley Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 How much time did the Orton/Riddle-AJ/Omos stuff take up? Every single time I turned over to Raw, it was always on. I had no interest in it, so I finally gave up on the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caley Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 So, I finally caught part of the show WITHOUT Orton and I have many questions about Mahal's goons. First, what kind of name is Shanky (A quick Google search says it is used in 1 of 13M+ times)? His real name is Gurvinder Singh Malhotra...how is any one of those not better than Shanky?! Secondly, why is billed as being 7 feet tall...he's...uh...not close? Third, what kind of name is Veer? His name is Rinku Singh, that is much better. Fourth, wait...Veer is the 'Million Dollar Arm' guy? Like, the guy who won a reality competition and signed an MLB contract, played years of minor league baseball, had a movie made about him and...they rename him? Isn't that the kind of mainstream attention you would want to promote? WWE constantly wants their guys to get into movies and other shows, then they sign a guy who had a movie made about HIM and they change his name?!!? Also, Moist TV? That's it...I'm tapping out. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't want organic mainstream attention. They'd want mainstream attention manufactured, visioned and controlled by Vince. He wants to predetermine mainstream's reactions, as well, and since he isn't capable of doing that, he doesn't want it. In fact, he probably wants to remake that movie with Orton, anyway!

cwoy2j Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Goldberg's kid looks really uninterested to be there. He looks like a kid on "take your kid to work day" whose dad works at an insurance office. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently Shanky's ring name in India was Dilsher Shanky so Shanky is supposed to be a last name. Poor guy didn't even get to bring his first name over for a few weeks before losing it like Matt Riddle and most everyone else they call up nowadays. I'm surprised Damian Priest hasn't fallen victim to that yet and become "Damian" or "Priest". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Yeah, I was laughing at Shanky and Moist TV last night too. "Randy Orton promo" was sorely missing on that Raw Bingo Card. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
