20 Things You Probably Missed From WWE Raw (July 12)
Drew McIntyre goes Hulk Hogan; fans boo WWE's babyfaces; Raw is Ricochet.
WWE could have a job on their hands when live crowds return later this week.
The ThunderDome era has been tricky, but there's a hidden upside: WWE stars can take their time during promos to get their point across. Sure, that point isn't always worthwhile, but the entire roster knows for sure they won't be hit with a dreaded "BORING" chant for sucking on the mic.
That's all about to change, and this could spell disaster for WWE's writers and wrestlers alike. For example, few will sit quietly through Jinder Mahal pretending he wants to apologise to Drew McIntyre, or Bobby Lashley tearing MVP a new one for distracting him with parties - the challenge of keeping live audiences interested again starts now.
One solution could be to go totally over the top like Drew did on Monday. Some may have missed his quasi-Hulk Hogan impression though. Other things you might've missed from Raw include Jimmy Smith getting it wrong, Jinder totally ignoring road safety, and Ricochet taking some hellish bumps.
Also, on the fans, those watching via the ThunderDome visibly rebelled against some of WWE's ideas. That negativity won't be drowned out by piped-in cheers soon...
