Raw Thoughts

Raw sucked. Well it was OK if it was just a Raw building towards a PPV, but it wasn't. It was the final Raw before Sunday's Unforgiven PPV so it's meant to make you excited about the PPV and ensure you spend your cash on Sunday night. This show failed in a big way.

Cena/Edge was the hottest feud on the show and judging my the MSG crowd Cena is the hottest thing on the show. Therefore he was thrown in a six-man tag (that was a decent match none the less) with five other guys who are having a match at the PPV. No, he wasn't given a shit-hot promo to cut vowing to win the WWE Title in a match he had never competed in he was in a seemingly random match where he beat Johnny Nitro. By the way Johnny Nitro isn't his opponent on Sunday.

Edge burying Smackdown makes me chuckle at how WWE treat that brand.

Did you notice how they played up the Orton/Cena thing from last week with Orton giving the 'you can't see me' gesture to Cena? I'm thinking Cena's winning and starting his feud with the Legend Killer. Rewarded for failing the drugs test. Again.

Jeff Hardy's reaction to Nitro kicking his painting was THE best thing on this show, "hey man my painting" as if it was a masterful piece of work that he'd spent hours on.

Remember when Nitro was getting heat on Smackdown so he got moved to Raw and got a push?

Carlito and Orton is so cold I think that WWE have realised it's not selling any PPVs so they've just sacked off promoting it.

From this show the match I'm most interested in is Kane/Umaga. Openign the show with this was great. This two men slugging out actually making it look like they had a point to prove was awesome. Umaga's suplex to Kane was fantastic. This match will probably suck but if booked right could be a hell of a lot of fun.

Vince thinks his angle is shit hot. It's not. I have no desire to see this match whatsoever. Cade and Murdoch beating on DX was cool and they should have left it at that but Vince had to have his no heat main event that did nothing for this crappy feud. I still don't know why their feuding. Email me if you know.

Trish had her last Raw matched and embraced with Mickie. Remeber when Mickie was a phsyco stalking Trish? Now she's a babyface for now reason.

Chris Masters and Super Crazy had to have another match and Super Crazy and Super Crazy won. I'd expect these two to have a match at the PPV. Remeber these two got a whole segment to build up their match and did a better job in doing so than anybody else in the six-man tag.

Remeber when Super Crazy got suspended for failing a drugs test. Then he got moved to Raw and got a little push. Is there a recurring theme here?

The Highlander deal with Roddy Piper was one of the most entertaining things on the show. Piper on the stick reminds you how inept most of the roster are today.

All in all this would have been a fine episode of Raw two weeks ago but when you're pushing a PPV this isn't the show you need.
