Raw Thoughts

This was a boring episode of Raw this week. Again nothing happened it was just match after match for no point at all.

The opening segment bored the hell out of me to the point where I actually started doing my washing whilst it was on. We get Cena's funny but does he have to do the ridiculous Lita jokes every single week. They do nothing to get you interested in Cena, Edge or Lita and consequently do nothing for pay-per-view buyrates.

Oh yeah there's a tournament for the women's title. I didn't know anything about it and it's already being portrayed as a joke so there you go.

The main event was no holds barred but Edge is barred from interfering so effectivley a hold is barred. There was some promotion for Smackdown! Oh my god! "You rap scallion." Great.

Kane vs Nitro was perfectly fine for what it was meant to be and in Kane/Umaga they're building a feud! That's right there's a reason to the matches.

How loud was Carlito's pop? Far louder than he ever deserves. Masters got jobbed out again. Orton/Carlito continues on.

For the second week in a row, Flair on TV is always good and Flair winning on TV is even better. I have know clue where this is going unless Flair beats every member of the squad over the next three weeks.

The DX gauntlet was OK. The problem with this is that no teams are over. When they used to do these type of things with the Hardys, Dudleys, Edge and Christian, the Outlaws etc. it used to work because the teams were over. These days nobody cares because they're beating nobodys. All I can gather is that DX are now feuding with Cade and Murdoch. Again I would have no problem with this if Cade and Murdoch had done anyhting for the past ten months.

Bishoff's apperance is a one time deal to promote his book. At the moment there are no plans to bring him back but then again plans change all the time. What he said was pretty much true though if you think about it.

The Raw reunion show should be good and is a setup for the Survivor Series PPV where it has been announced it will be Raw vs Smackdown vs ECW. I'll talk more about that later.

Overall: A boring show that really did nothing for me and didn't get me excited in anything they're doing at the moment.
