WWE TV Talk (Raw, Smackdown)

RAW was only good in spots.

The opening segment was okay.

I liked the opening match.

The end to the JBL match was good.

Another solid Jericho segment. I can see Jericho 20 years down the road going to indy shows for autograph signings though running what he is saying now.

The final segment was fun.

I give this show a solid B- rating.

I don't. If he had wanted to do that, when he left WWE the first time, he would have done an occasional indy if he wanted to. Unlike a lot of former wrestlers, he did not blow his load of money he has made over the years.

WWE says that they had 32,000 more viewers than last week...

TWO weeks in a row for a 4.1 rating for them.

Smackdown was a solid show imo.

I enjoyed the opening segment with Cena.

Cena was in a great match with the Big show.

Undertaker had a solid match even though he lost to Kozlov clean....

A real solid Tag match

The Hardy segment was really great. Could this match be moving to WM??

I am going to give this show a solid A rating.

I actually caught a bit of Smackdown this week. Cena...my biggest complaint about him is that he does not sell convincingly. That killed the match with Big Slow for me.

Is SD worth downloading? There was womens high school basketball on last night so SD didn't start until 11pm instead of 10pm like it was supposed to, so I delted it because I would only have the first hour.

The whole show imo is worth downloading.

Lots of high quality wrestling on this show.

Watched the last hour of Raw last night. Quick thoughts:

-I’m looking forward to Orton vs. Triple H, as the two always seem to deliver and had some of my favorite WWE matches of the year last time they feuded (was it last year or 07? My how things blend together), but what is this storyline? Going into the distant past to tap Evolution and not mentioning the more recent feuds, where Orton won the world title by beating Triple H? I don’t get it. I didn’t love the “you beat up my wife, now I kill you” storyline direction per se before, but it was better then this.

-Koslov needs to not exist on my TV. The man is horrible. At one point in that match he was carrying HBK on his shoulders, and I’m sitting there thinking why is he carrying him around? And then the announcers pointed out he had Michaels in a submission hold. What? That’s not how you do a submission hold! I guess that’s the difference between guys who make submissions look painful and tell the story, and guys who make it obvious they’re just using it as a rest hold.

-Really enjoyed the main event. Cena and Edge are fantastic together, and I really was at the edge of my seat hoping Cena wouldn’t win the belt. Not only did he lose, but the announcement of Big Show as Edge’s Mania opponent has me really curious to see what is going to happen. Oh and Edge used the most horrible looking Sharp Shooter ever. Just saying.

Overall thumbs up for that second hour.

RAW was lacking for me.

The Jericho segment was not that great as previous weeks. Then Jericho and Snuka do one of the worst ever knockouts with a stage period.

HHH/Orton promo was not that bad if you forgot your WWE history. Could it be that Orton is still pissed at what happened to him in evolution???

Kozlov vrs Undertaker was much better than HBK vrs Kozlov.

The only good wrestling was in the main event and the Kane match.

I am going to give this show a solid B- rating.

Kozlov sucks...I'm just sayin'

Edge can make Cena look good. Impressive.

The Snuka, Jericho bit was just sad...brother.

The show was "meh".

Smackdown was good in spots.

The contract signing segment was okay. Does Cena have video footage of the Big Show and Vickie getting it on in the bedroom

The Undertaker Promo was good.

No Hardy's so far in the Money in the bank match at Wrestlmania. Moving just one step closer to the major match at Wrestlemania.

the HHH beatdown was not that great.

I would have to give this show from what I saw a B- rating.

RAW was only good in spots.

The opening segment with HBK was great.

I liked the Cena/Edge/Big Show segment. So the Big Show was fooling around with the Big Slut

Koko B. Ware is in the hall of fame, yeah....

Kofi Kingston vs. Chris Jericho was a nice match.

Jericho vrs Ric Flair looks nice for WM.

CM Punk and JBL had a nice match as well.

The ending segment was a complete waste of time. In the real world HHH will have some good time in the slammer,in the WWE world he will be free next week. Brian Pillman/Austin all over again, but PG rated this time.

I can only rate this show a solid B- rating.

Smackdown was only good in parts.

Edge vrs Kofi was a great match. I hope the psycho edge comes back, we saw a bit of it with the Chavo segment on the show.

The Matt Hardy segment was good, but not great.

The tag match action was not so hot on this show.

I am going to give this show a solid B- rating.

RAW was a mixed bag effort...

The Shawn Michaels, HHH, and Jericho stuff was great.

Cody took one for the team big time.

The rest of the show was not that special at all.

Does edge love the belt more or Vickie more???

Even the main event was lack luster.

I am going to give this show a solid C+ rating.
