Raw Thoughts

What a total nothing show this was. Nothing happened. No challenges were issued. Nothing of note happened. DX continued their thing. Cena continued his thing. As did everybody else on the roster.

The main event was a fine little match, I'd be quite happy with a six-man tag every single week on Raw as a talent showcase you really can't go wrong with it. Plus Cade and Murdoch were involved and I think that these two have great characters and seeing them in that role makes a refreshing change.

The six-way for the IC belt was simply put one big cluster with a decent finish. It basically sets Hardy up as the number one contender for the title and I have no problem with this whatsoever.

Masters does has been back four weeks and has done three jobs in a row. I have a feeling he's out the door pretty soon without that masterpiece physique.

Lita and Mickie argiung for the belt doesn't interest me one bit. It's leading to Looser Leaves Town at Cyber Sunday when Lita does the jobski on the way out and Mickie wins the vacant belt.

Is it me or has Candace improved dramatically?

Kane and Umaga continuing their problem is OK as I happen to quite like what they're doing. The idea was for Umaga to be in the main event at Unforgiven (a la Brock Lesnar circa 2002) with him beating Hunter, Shawn and Cena in a space of a few weeks but as usual they shit themselves about an unproven commodity being on top so his momentum was lost pretty quicky.

Ric Flair on my TV is always great. Ric Flair winning on my TV is fantastic.

The opening segment went far too long and Edge turning on the Montreal crowd was a good way to get him heat but they still hated Cena (and Shawn and Hunter for that matter).

Overall not the worst show in the world with nothing horrible going down. The problem is nothing happened. If you missed a week of TV then don't worry because you're not behind on anything.
