0:00.0	Oh, we came so close to running a table tonight on Raw.
0:06.4	The Stranger Things theme of Monday Night Raw.
0:10.6	I'll tell you this much before I even get into anything.
0:14.0	I saw some people online during Raw crapping on it.
0:19.8	You know, it just feels like a regular Raw. It doesn't really stand out. It's kind of boring. I don't know what you were expecting tonight. This was not a premium live event.

1:25.5	going to call out any individual people tonight on the show,
1:29.2	but do not forget that last week we brought up a few places that were rolling the dice,

1:42.3	And speaking of just rolling the dice and being wrong,
1:47.6	later on in this episode,
1:49.0	I'm going to have some fun with Jonathan Coachman.
