HBK IS GREAT, BUT TOO MUCH OF THE SAME OLD THING - FIRST BATCH OF READER FEEDBACK TO RAW

By PWInsiderXtra Readers on 1/16/2007 9:26 AM
Raw started off with a crash, literally. Good move as it wasn't too long, plus it put Cena in the picture as being able to take out Umaga, and of course everyone likes to see AAE going through the table. Definitely set the tone for a last man standing match.

In what may have been the moment that solidifies the creative staff and VKM himself as idiots: (I don't remember if this was the first or second mention of "The Trump") no sooner than Vince is talking about his buddy, on my other TV (I have an alternate for the dull parts of RAW) at the Golden Globes there was "The Trump" and he certainly wasn't on his cell trying to return Vince's call. Priceless.

The mixed tag match was O.K. but Maria just isn't in Melina's league.

Flair vs. one of the few guys who has a first and last name in the WWE... ugh, I wish they would have put Kenny in a feud with another former SS member. At least the two can wrestle but given the short matches, its the same thing weekly.

Thank you to whoever had the balls to suggest that they acknowledge that crap from last week. If only The Trump himself actually wrote that. Of course this all went to hell quickly as Vince told me I will like what he wants me to like... back to the Golden Globes. He should have hired real Hollywood writers.

Back to WWE, Torrie looks hot, Carlito gets to do what tens of thousands of fans wish they could do and tell off Vince. Too bad the live crowd wasn't more behind him with some "We want wrestling" or TNA chants. Oh, but it gets better. Khali is now gonna do Vince's dirty work, and poor Carlito gets to sell to him. Next...

Mickie and Victoria. Bored me last night, there needs to be an added twist, the women's division needs 2 more wrestlers to give it some freshness.

Ron Simmons in the Master Lock challenge was fine. I guess now Masters and Super Crazy are going to feud. Which is better than having Masters in another program with another legend.

JTG and Shelton... why not just make it a tag match? Decent bout, had me entertained.

I enjoyed the main event. I still find it surprising that no one except Flair offered to have HBK's back. Can't they give the rub to someone, even if they come out and get their ass kicked in 30 seconds? It makes no sense to have a locker room full of people sitting there doing nothing while HBK gets stomped. I enjoyed Shawn's comeback and the finish to the show.

Overall I give this show a C+

Is it me or do we see the same matches, with the same people giving interviews, on the same night, every week of the year? Raw Is Boring! ZzzzZzzz...

Hi,

I think JR and Lawler forgot, and all the writers of Raw, that Cena broke the Masterlock. I remember the ref did not give the win to Cena, but he reversed it and Masters "passed out". Did WWE think with this finish Cena does not have break it?

Thanks
