How good was the start of raw, the wwe have done nothing like that for a long time. Even though nothing happened untill the end of the show which was not very good as it lasted 10 seconds i though it was a good idea by the wwe who are really struggling to come up with anything these days.

Yeah it wasn't bad, different, somewhat predictable, but not bad. Only thing I hated about it were...

- WTF is with RVD being a prop in the background. Only a few months ago he beat Cena, not to mention Sabu also feuded with him. Now they wanna help him?

- Why does everyone stop when Vince comes out. These guys are supposed to be the baddest people on the planet, they stop to care what Vince has to say

- Sabu should never have been squashed so easily by Umaga

- DX is lame. Rated RKO should really be the focus of the shows.

- Typical WWE booking, I think they are gonna be in real trouble soon.

as i have said before, the WWE is really starting to get old, and they are struggling to come up with new ideas. TNA will end up becoming a much bigger brand, and i would nto be suprised if another WCW/WWF fued begins.

Any chance you can give us a summary rota? Haven't seen RAW over the past couple of weeks.

Well it was the raw episode before survivior series and it started with cena and his group coming out to call out the bigshow and his group. Then randy-edge group comes out talks a bit of trash then ric flair and his group come up again talk a bit of trash and then the cheerleaders come out followed by dx group followed by bigshows group. The 6 groups then ran to the ring ready to fight to be stopped by vince mcmahon but at the end of raw a big fight occured.

Don't expect continuity from WWE writers, they are hopeless.
This is my biggest gripe with the new WWE storylines. Noone mentions past feuds. I don't mind if Flair teams up with HHH not that long after their bloody feud but at least get the commentators to mention that they have had their differences blablabla. Also when wrestlers start feuds or a match is hyped up as "the first time these two are met" it is quite often not true. Even when they were working up to the DX reunion there wasn't much talk at all between the long feud HBK and HHH had.

wwe simply do not use potential storylines which will increase the standard of their corporation.

They need to do something though, their eps are getting very much same old same old!
This is true they have top wrestlers HBK, HHH, Undertaker, Cena, Kane, Edge, Orton and Batista but none of them are in really good storylines

HBK and HHH are fueding with Edge and Orton - this is ok but its getting boring how about Edge and Orton beating the crap out of DX this will keep them out for a few weeks and then Edge and Orton will attack a face ie Flair or one of the women and then DX music hits and they return and fight Edge and Orton.

Undertaker and Kane are fueding with Kennedy and MVP- This is probably the best of the lot matches such as cage, first blood and upcoming inferno is intresting this also reunites the brothers of destruction.

Cena is fueding with Umaga- This is really really boring, Cena has been boring for a while now i think its about time he turns heel.

Batista is fueding with booker t and Finlay- This shows how bad the wwe have slumped remember the good old times when title matches were it would be the big stars like HHH, Rock, Stone cold, Undertaker and HBK now we have duds like Finlay and booker t contending for the apparent most covenent title in the sports industry.

WWE get your act together

I agree with everything you said. But Booker T... sorry King Booker is no dud, he's awesome at playing his character, he has even got good in-ring skills, he might seem a bit un coordinated at times but he can pull off some awesome stuff, i love that scissor kick

I love the way King Booker looks into the crowd with that "thank you my people" look on his face.

He is the charmpyon of charmypons!
