Hello and welcome to the Raw Review. I'm Adam Willbourne from Whatculture joined by the

Dadly Boys of Whatculture, Michael Hanford and Michael Siddwick here to root everything

that happened on last night's episode of Monday Night Raw. But before we get into it,

if you're a fan of this sort of thing, make sure you subscribe to Whatcultressing on

either iTunes, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcast from for daily resting podcasts

or we're not only review raw and smack them, but also the Wednesday night war between

AW and NXT pay-per-views. We have interviews around table discussions and a roundup of

the week complete with a bloody good quiz, of course, on Recyculture. As I said, joined

by Hanford and Siddwick, stuck by a very eventful episode of Monday Night Raw, but one that

Michael Hanford's Jesus Christ milked the tit dry with that title match.

Yeah, and I liked the show long angle and I liked the payoff. But let me just sort of

remind anybody that might sort of quibble that, that I don't watch the show live and I

watch it on one and a half time speed. So not only did I feel like I was being baited

and switched throughout the show, because I don't think I was doing what you've done

this before, often to great effect. There are several like models for this tease out

across the night. It's always fine as long as you deliver the payoff. And again, I must

stress, I say that as somebody that was watching the whole show in and of itself and not

there sat waiting for the title match in the title match alone, it was an old carny trick

to keep people totally in. But somebody that was going to watch this through to its conclusion

regardless, I was satisfied because we got the payoff. On the previous day, we talked

about the very worst thing they could have done would have actually to not have been

to deliver the title match at all. I never had the anxiety that we're going to do that.
