1. Please, be considerate and don’t post spoilers from the taping. Thanks!

2. I hope to god we don’t some spoiler reading goon, ruining the show during this live discussion.

3. Live?

4. Hello

5. Shane in the opening…. Is that a sign he’s sticking around?

6. Ambrose Asylum set looks nice

7. Hey, Het, Hey! “That’s my Dwayne “What’s Happenin'” Open!

   • WAZZZZZZZZZZZZZZUPPPPP

8. Vince thoughts on each commentator individually?

9. I’ve just got home from the taping here in London, obviously no spoilers but loved the show

10. Hi Vince

11. hi

12. hey vince

13. Think Shane is healed up from wrestlemania

14. Its pretty bad that the clip shows the Cushion that he fell on the announce table from wrestlemania

    • Dude nobody could take that fall without it, and please don’t bring up Foley because he was on a completely different level.

      • True. Very true.

      • I would never bring up Foley. because that was different and you have a point

      • I still can’t believe on WWE programming I am seeing Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn opening up the show on the hot hour.

15. My wife thinks that Sami zayn looks like a cab driving

    • Tell her I agree–but–every time I say that I get in BIG trouble!!!

      • She also says that kevin Owens looks like he worked at Taco Bell a week ago and got fired from eating the inventory… Smh

16. You are my hero mr russo!

    • As you are mine!

17. Who knew Ambrose can be so funny. Stay away from the plant lmao

18. I dont like podcast one but i will come here for vince russo

    • Curious–why don’t you like PodcastOne?

      • Because there’s a few shows on here that bury TNA. Not yours tho so ill come on here and support the brand.

      • They are critiquing all companies. They are not burying tna… Tna buried themselves for allowing Bischoff, hogan and John gaboric run things to the ground

19. pretty good start to raw. but u can tell shane was stammering on his words and looked a little nervous out in the ring. but a pretty good start to raw

20. Vince u always know that i support ya and u inspired me to do podcasts. hence why i do my show big josh TV on youtube

    • Vince if it was not for you doing podcast I would not be doing Big josh TV on youtube. And u truly inspired my podcast after you came on my show back on leap day 2/29

21. Wow. Sami Zayn is highly boring.

    • u would think it zayn would go at a faster pace but since hes been in WWE, Zayn has been much slower on tv than his indy days

    • He’s great in the ring but yeah his character is simply non-existent

      • No Backstory or no build up only for zayn was his time in NXT thats all

      • Have they had a single video package for Sami? I don’t recall any. Which is astounding considering they cou;d build numerous packages around Zayn/Owens on the footage they OWN from NXT

22. Oh my god did JBL just Compared The highlight Reel To PIPERS PIT, THAT IS SO WRONG!!! PIPER S PIT IS THE SHOW THAT SET THE BAR FOR ALL TALK SHOWS IN WWF/E

23. Spoiler Alert: Vince is in second to last place right now in the Who’s on First Fantasy Baseball League!

24. Is Sammi zayn going to be a superstar to where he reaches for the Big ONE and cant win the big one in WWE

25. Okay, I’m bored to tears. Watching Gotham!

26. If I dvr raw and watch it say 15mins later so I don’t have to watch commercials does that mean I’m not counted in the ratings

27. Howyadoin’?

28. Chris Jericho! Ring psychology gentlemen, ring psychology…Who’s making fun of Rooty Tooty Booty now?

    • the old school heel thumb to the eye gives him the win. Old School tricks makes him win and makes him a good heel

29. HowUDoin’?

30. BOOM BOOM VINCE RUSSO GUYS IN THE ROOM! HOW U DOIN? AND U CANT TEACH THAT !

31. Enzo Amore is one of those rare talents who does NOT need a writer to script what he says! WWE just needs to keep unleashing him….and Big Cass!

32. this enzo dude, dont like it

    • Yeah. Its kinda weird. But at least he has some sort of character.

33. Putting Aj, Gallows and Anderson back together is the perfect call

    • Hope that they do that . It could make the product bigger and better with them back together

      • Gallows and Anderson are going to turn on AJ at Payback…

      • I agree with you guys there. you can tell that is going to happen at payback

    • Don’t hold your breathe. They will turn on aj and form the Roman Empire with Reigns.

34. Vince I bet ya that Rudy Charles (dan Engler) will be The Ref during the Divas match

35. Enzo can control the crowd’s emotions with his words and his body movements…IT factor BRO!

    • at least he has a character to where others in WWE dont have a character on TV

      • For Enzo not coming up through the Indy’s as a wrassler, he sure knows who to work…

36. The Enzo character is by leaps and bounds without doubt the most entertaining part of the show the last few weeks

37. nice Upset over the Dudleys

38. I will give one spoiler out. They edit the boos for roman

39. Vince i want to say thank you for all that you do. Without Vince russo Doing podcast I would not be able to do my podcast on big josh TV and Vince im putting you over because ive learned alot from you doing podcast to where i speak whats on my mind about things and you truly are a hero to big josh and big josh TV. and i want to thank you for all that you do BRO> even though u may not see this comment, Just wanted to thank you and thank you for that interview back on 2/29 on big josh TV

40. Nice strategy on this message forum guys. Every post, every reply, every refresh of the page is a hit! Can’t get those metrics with a chat box!

41. OMG is roman coming out to the same promo every week, IM NOT A GOOD GUY, IM NOT A BAD GUY, im the guy, WE GET THAT ALREADY!! but hopefully they can book roman the right way at payback

42. Will WWE make the shirt for Roman Reigns already? I’m not a good guy, I’m not a bad guy, I’m THE GUY. Then he won’t have to keep saying it, he can just point to his shirt….

43. Roman Reigns is THE guy alright .. the guy who makes you want to change the channel

    • same promo every week makes millions change the channel doug

44. Styles Vs Nakamura at Wrestle Kingdom 10, and Vs Jericho at WM32….A match with Roman Reigns at Payback will not be the match of his year let alone life. LOL

45. Roman Reigns need to make with FULL heel turn so he can find his character.

46. AJ Styles should have came out and said, Roman you keep coming out here week after week claiming you’re the guy, but from where I stand you’re the guy getting his ass booed every week.

47. Think im going to make a frozen pizza . Be right back shortly. Probably wont miss anything but who knows lol

48. Anderson and Gallows can give AJ and the Roman/AJ story some depth. Really quite like where it could go

49. They should of showed vignettes of the bullet club before they debuted.

50. I definitely agree with that.

    • it makes it where theres no back story on anyone in WWE. Vince its just the knowledge of Anderson and Gallows in japan and thats all the fans know about them.

51. I’m not sure they needed vignetted before debuting because the surprise attack last week was a great angle but they definitely 100% should have had some this week

52. just got back on after putting my frozen pizza in the oven, Did i miss anything good?

    • Fandago was in the ring soooo….. not so much

      • figured that. oh well. at least in 10 mins i can eat a pizza and watch more raw

53. Vince, can you please explain to me what a certified G is? I want so much to like Enzo and Cass, but I have no idea what the hell he’s saying half the time. I’m a southern girl…I don’t understand Jersey talk.

    • i think it means hes a certified Genius

      • gangster

    • Certified G could mean Guido.

      • And what’s a guido?

54. a Reboot of Primo and Epico Nice

55. Anyone speaking French in a UK arena is going to get heat

56. Surprise Guest FORMER CHAMPION on tomorrow’s Attitude Era Show. Part 2 w/@theterrirunnels on PodcastOne.com
    RiussosBrand.com

    • Nice . The Brand is the strongest that it has been ever! and That is going to be one great Attitude era show tomorrow

    • Could this finally be the promised appearance of a certain rattlesnake?

57. Cesaro BOND!!!

58. Going to get my pizza thank god its time to get my pizza out of the oven! so Mizable that im going to eat my pizza and enjoy discuss chat with the brand and vince russo.

59. This is insufferable

60. Hate this Hitman/Bond gimmick they are giving Cesaro, just leave him alone. Miz is excellent, needs to improve in the ring but excellent entertainer.

    • im actually loving it. glad for cesaro… wish he carried a gun

61. did i miss anything

    • 10 minutes of painful boredom?

      • Thank god i was getting my pizza. dont want to be MIZABLE and make a MIZTAKE while getting my pizza and watch raw for 10 mins lol

62. I really don’t get The New Day but there’s no denying they’re over. All week here in the UK ive seen them on random chat shows and in papers

    • Agreed.

63. i dont get it. one minute new day is heel and then there baby faces, they flip flop so many people in WWE to where one day there a heel then there a baby face. its too confusing sometime to watch raw.

64. Vince any good MLB games on tonight

65. That trombone was louder than any pop you’ll hear from the live crowd tonight #sadbuttrue

66. del rio looks like a billion bucks

67. Raw has been a waste of my time. However, it has proven to be the best sleeping pills ever! Goodnight to all.

68. Why the hell maro interviewing people? His ass should be calling the action. Cole needs to get demoted back to the interviewer

    • Maro makes it exciting and has the tone to be the best Commentator in WWE

69. Vince. IS Ric Flair a bad asset to Charlotte when hes down at ringside with her

    • ok never mind my bad vince. i truly think that charlotte needs to do her own thing to where she does not need her dad to help win matches for her

70. Total Bellas? Are you effing kidding me?

    • At least we get to see daniel….

71. Oh lord Blake Mitchamore’s Future WIFE Becky Lynch is on the 8 woman team

72. Paige is so sexy and unique, but of course a completely wasted character due to woefully incompetent creative

    • paigeand becky aside from charlotte the best all around female superstars

73. Think im going to Tap out to the Discuss tonight. So time to call it a night. Even though Vince may not see this , Good night Vince, And Good night BRAND!

74. Byron Saxton should be answering phones at a Hampton Inn somewhere.

    If you can’t cut a decent singles promo, you certainly shouldn’t be anywhere near commentary. He’s got a live microphone for five-plus hours of WWE programming per week. WHAT is he adding? What credibility does he have to viewers at home? Why would a marketing genius like Vince McMahon give this guy the job of putting wrestlers over? He adds nothing. He has no edge, no character, nothing. Why would his words carry any weight with viewers? He makes things worse.

    Somebody needs to check the viewership numbers since Saxton took over on these show. The whole team needs to go. So damaging to the show.

    • ^^^what he said

75. Sorry there’s not too much to talk about tonight–this is just basically a house show.

    • its always a big house show when the WWE is overseas. GOOD NIGHT vince

    • Pretty much what Raw always is .. such a shame

76. Good Night Everybody. Taping out and Calling it a night. See YA next monday for another Discuss

77. Vince, which product is worse, today’s WWE or the 1993-96 WWF?

78. 93-96

    • Yeah I guess I agree, but it is def a major toss-up

79. An Apollo Crews Vignette… Thank you. The man has no character he needs this to get him anywhere. However having said that, that vignette served no purpose

80. So now they want to show vignettes of Apollo…..

81. “So, how can we cater more to our younger audience that we switched to a PG rating for?” “I know .. let’s create tag-team characters based on early 20th century silent films!” -WWE Creative

82. Finally a vignette for Apollo Crews. It looks like they’re doing things in backwards order. I missed most of the show but based on what I read it didn’t sound like I missed much. Sounds like last week’s show was better.

83. Ironic that tonight’s Raw sponsor is “Tapout”, since that’s exactly what most of their TV audience has done with the show at this point

84. Can’t wait for WWE NXT Takeov… I Mean PAYBACK.

85. Was Kevin Owens character modeled after that “always has that I’m a complete dick look on his face” bouncer that’s in just about every bar you go into? Because if so, job well done. #ugh

86. Has there ever been a “main event” more meaningless than this?

87. “An awesome, unpredictable, action-packed Raw” Did Michael Cole actually just say that?

88. Great ending to raw can’t wait for next week
