Raw was not that bad this week.

I loved the Jericho promo in the ring. Then the stuff with Steph was good as well

Kane/Kelly stuff was only the crap on the whole show.

Main event was not that bad.

Solid wrestling all night long.

I will give this show a solid B rating.

I would give it a C, only because of the tag match

Frank J. Wilson

They have a lot of young talent waiting in the wings and yet they're going to push Hacksaw Jim Duggan with Cryme Tyme. blink.gif

Well, I guess if they do a vignette from a red light district, Duggan will be all clear to say "Hooooo!"

I actually saw some promise in Nemeth on RAW. He's playing the totally self-absorbed heel and I think it's right for him.

But that name. Please. Change it.

Fast.

How about Sexton Hardcastle

Hey, my first post here...

I was pissed that Punk's match with Regal was kinda short. Both of them can go, so they should have been given more time. Maybe next time.

Good tag match with Morrison/Mizz vs. Rey/Kofi.

They should put the women's belt on Jillian...she's got a big personality and she's funny as hell. Her "banter" in the ring had me laughing.

...but lose the singing bit, it's played out.

Glad to see you here 13th


I thought this weeks Raw was way better than last weeks

I do not like the way the Punk/Regal match ended though. Hopefully no bullshit DQ title change next week. I wouldn't mind seeing Punk lose either via Regal using ropes/tights, to keep the fued going to the Rumble

My biggest problem with Raw was again the stupid JBL/HBK storyline. I hate that storyline possibly more than I've ever hated any storyline in wrestling. The fact that it gets so much focus on the show doesn't help much.

The angle will likely go all the way to WrestleMania. Everything is going to be about Texas...now the HOF, too.

Plus, with Batista out they're going to need to pad the upper card on RAW. They keep trying to bring JBL to the top when in need, and linking him to Shawn is probably the only way left to do it.

But the storyline has come across lame. With his divorce and all, I think Hogan would be more believable as the old, broke wrestler than Michaels.

Maybe give him a sign that reads: "Will Hulk Up For Food"

No, really, in this kind of environment WWE should be the escapist entertainment to take peoples' minds off their troubles.

The main event last night was pretty good for free TV. There's chemistry between Cena and HBK. And Michaels walking off after the win was fitting for the situation (almost like with the Flair defeat last year).

Austin going into the Hall isn't a bad idea, but I think they felt they had to do it. He's still a name that draws interest, if not as effectively as before. However, he's become redundant like Foley...the character runs its course and then keeps running, only less often.

The way they've been handling the CM Punk/Regal feud is really pissing me off. I wish they had given the time that HBK/Cena got to these guys instead.

The main event didn't thrill me. Cena can't sell for shit...and the rest holds looked like, well, rest holds.

So Orton's stable is a "whites only" affair is it?

Jericho fired...until next week...?

I wasn't really paying attention to the rest of the show.

The sad thing is they have set up a potentially huge babyface team in Snuka and Manu now, and you just know, 99.9% know that they are going to blow it with them. If Snuka and Manu come back now and get revenge, get some wins, build into a huge feud with Priceline that ends with a major gimmick match (steel cage?), even if the good guys lose in the end they will have momentum and hopefully fans on their side.

Unfortunately, WWE doesn't build tag teams, even when it means really building two future singles stars in the process. Snuka and Manu will job to Priceline a few times, then job to some other teams, then be shown the door.

Ah, so HHH has found his way into the Orton story line. What a surprise. (sarcasm)

HHH vs. Orton at Wrestlemania?

Orton/HHH at WM bores me


I would rather see someone else be in the main event

Same here.

RAW was VERRYYYYY good for the WWE this week.

http://www.wwe.com/inside/news/9403702

They pulled in a 4.1 rating. It has been like 2 years since they pulled in a rating like this....

next week will be the test though

If it drops back to a 3.6, that's not a good thing

Smackdown was not that bad in spots.

The Date segment with the twins was a complete waste of time. No way did that look real.

The main event was solid, but then we had the interference to end the match which was okay.

I do like that Vickie wants to have Kozlov vrs Undertaker. I do not see it going down though.

HHH interview was good.

I give the show a solid B rating.

Smackdown was great this week


I loved the Edge/Hardy match, especially the interference to end it and Edge nailing Hardy again
