WWF New Generation Vs WWE In 2020: Which Was Worse?
7. Monday Night Raw
Nothing moves critics and fans alike to compare WWE's contemporary output to the industry's prior lows than being made to endure three hours of the former flagship on a Monday night.
Raw was a mangled mess of a broadcast long before the global health crisis took hold, but the bloated broken buffet was never more of a bain-marie of bullsh*t than during the darkest days of 2020. Seth Rollins became obsessed with removing Rey Mysterio's eye, Apollo Crews wrestled members of The Hurt Business for the better part of 20 consecutive weeks while Retribution enacted their mission statement of destroying the brand by signing contracts and losing every week.
It currently carries the reputation as being the destination where good pro wrestling goes to die. The stories are badly told even if they're good, the solid in-ring work is obscured by a dreary in- house style and even the most fundamental Sports Entertainment rules are broken weekly thanks to the autocratic insanity of its ageing inventor.
Sometimes, in 1995, Monday Night Raw was a bad wrestling show. 25 years later, and the red brand would kill for words so kind.
