Now you lost me there. Either you lost your PPV feed or your DVD player broke down just before the Brock - Angle match. Angle was working on Brock's injured ribs for about a fourth of the match.

I'm sure this "Kurt Angle is a spot monkey" fad was actually started by those stupid anorexic Punk marks when Punk and Angle had that twitter war last year.

Angle is 20 times the wrestler Punk is and will always be. And unlike Punk, Angle was never carried by Cena to his greatest match ever.

Angle was great no doubt about that but Benoit and Eddie were just better.

Can you imagine if any "proper" TV show was as wildly uneven as this week's Raw? "In this episode of Game of Thrones, we start with Robb Stark having a brutal swordfight with some Lannister soldiers. Then we immediately cut to a Dothraki being shit on by a horse with comedy squeals cut in, and then Jon Snow has to find the social grace to do a dance routine with a Wildling. Then cut back to the City Watch chopping babies' heads off." Of course they're fucking haemorrhaging viewers.

I wonder how much better and structured Raw would be if WWE actually operated under a system similar to most other TV shows. Imagine if they had storylines planned out months in advance? Imagine if they actually carried them out, building story arcs and drawing viewers in every week? Imagine they had real characters to work with? HOLY FUCK JESUS!! That would be amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Pity it will never happen lol.

I'd be happy if they'd just settle on a tone. Storylines are a lot of effort, but fuck, at least decide if you're smashmouth or slapstick, y'know?

Personally I would kill for some direction and consistency. It legit amazes me that they don't seem to be able to say to themselves, right, we have a PPV at the end of the month. We have 6/7 spots to fill on that card. We have 2 major championships and a handful of minor championships to work around too. For match A, these are the characters and this is the story we want to tell. We have 4/5 weeks to tell this story. On week 1 blah blah happens. On week 2 blah blah happens etc etc until we hit the PPV. At the PPV, this is what we want to happen and this is what we want to happen afterward. Then repeat the cycle. It shouldn't be that fucking hard but clearly it is lol.

LOL at WWE marks calling Kurt Angle a spot monkey. Kurt is the best in the world all around. The dude could talk/sell/work/and market himself into a nice package like no one else seen before him imo. Kurt Angle had it all

WWE doenst know what it wants to be at the moment. They dont know if they want reality based characters and stroylines which are directed at a more mature audience (Brock V Cena, Punk V Jericho) or they want to be sqeaky clean, harmless family fun full of zany characters and segments (Santino and Brodus dancing, The Three Stooges) and judging by the audience reaction on monday, I think the audience want the former.

Right. I dont know it seems like its really hard for them to do that. And the way in which order they show segments is horrible too. First we have some intense shit with Brock and Cena which was really fucking intense and then they switch to Santino searching for the stooges i mean really?

[D.M.N.]

The thing that's more funnier is that no one is going down with injuries at the moment. If this was early 2007 where the roster was in dire straits (SmackDown had a lot of people on the shelf) I would understand, but fact is that the majority of their main roster has not got injured. Only Del Rio, Henry and Barrett are the three people that had injures, one of them 3 worked through their injury so in reality there is no excuse.

Last week RAW was a show filled with fresh characters and fresh feuds WWE advances at the start of the show very well Brock Vs Cena next is the US title contention which at the moment has four faces who are all great but what do we get a tag team match Clay and Santino vs Swagger Ziggler now here you have too hugely over faces who can cut great promos if they were allowed and Swagger and Ziggler still have their own infighting storyline going on does WWE do anything intresting with the dymanic they setup last week? NO. Eve got some advancement but she needs a team to her bidding, A wild Miz appears, Del Rio buries the actually over Ryder who should be feuding for the US title, Punk Jericho was good but its the same thing as last week and the storyline fell flat when it got hot shotted into a personal feud instead of it being about the match they could have built it up to the personal side after Mania, Rhodes shouldn't have lost the IC title and should't be getting owned by Big Show instead Rhodes should have continued to show that fire he has attacking Big Show and actually beating him down showing he is a threat but of course its proven take someones momentium away and they will be just fine.
