My completely random Raw thoughts.......(Written as I watched the show)

*Batista has been so impressive in and out of the ring as of late. Its truely about time.
Nice powerout of the crossface. Crowd really seemed to be behind Batista.

*JR and King said the following "Batista has to be the odds on favorite in the Elimination Chamber match this Sunday" What does that mean? That means it will come down to Batista and HHH with Batista getting screwed somehow. When will JR and King realize that they STINK at foreshadowing.

*Batista was censored out when yelling at Benoit. It was QUITE clear what he said. He dropped a MF'er on Benoit.

*As of the beginning of the show I had no idea what the matches were for the PPV that was 6 days away. Lets hope the show pumps up the PPV.

*It is truely sad to see Ric Flair regulated to nothing more than a HHH cheerleader. What would be a sweet swerve is if Flair abandoned HHH for Batista. We know that will never happen since they are good ol buddies in real life.

*I know I am not the only one that think Maria (the interviewer) is perhaps the worst actress in the history of wrestling. She also looks fake or something. I dunno what it is about here, but she needs to hit the road.

*I really like how Edge has built his heel character. The constant reminders of Taboo Tuesday is actually cool. There is so much the WWE could do storyline wise with respects to the past the options are unlimited.

*Good explanation by Bischoff to Edge about how and why HBK was going to be the referee for the PPV. He actually said he was trying to increase revenue. (which is exactly what they are trying to do)

*As much as I am not crazy about the constant 9/11 attacks, the Hassan character draws heat like nobody I have seen in recent times.

*I have been nothing short of extremely impressed with the 20 year old Hassan. He appears to have all the tools necessary to suceed. I hope he can wrestle as good as he can speak.

*Hassan sure looked like he popped JR and the King with stiff shots.

*Here is to hoping its only Coach the rest of the evening at the broadcast booth.

*Through HellFire and Brimstone ITS KANE !!! ITS KANE !!! Is he supposed to be face now? Bah !

*Did anyone else notice that the main camera is on the opposite side of the ring that it usually is?

*I love this dessention between Batista and HHH.

*Why does Christian wear all yellow and gold to the ring to only reveal bright orange tights. Lets get some consistency Captian Colorblind. (side note, Christian is pissa)

*Eugene and Regal have ZERO chance of losing the title on Sunday.

*WHHHHHHHHHHHHY !?!?!?!? Why is JR back when he supposedly was almost strangled to death.

*Nice main event. Good finish getting everyone involved. HHH losing means he wins Sunday.

*Please god, dont let HHH win the title Sunday............................

I think this weeks RAW was good. It wasnt good as the previous RAW, but i still enjoyed it. The 3 matches, involving all the participants of The Cage Match, were all really good. It was nice seeing Kane back, even tho I really dont care for him as a face. The Arab-American Debate was a thing I really didnt care about. I love Hassain's character tho. He comes off as being very smart and his verbal skill are excellent. WWE scored a homerun with guy. Lets just hope, they dont keep putting him in stupid debate skitts. The way they are treating the tag team division is a shame and its even a bigger shame, the way they are treating Christian. I never really liked Batista, but hes doing a great job and WWE is pushing him really well. On the other hand, I didnt like the way he just destroyed Benoit. Have Batista go over clean, whatever, but have Benoit put up more of a fight. He got completely smoked there. I also liked the way all the finishes were kinda clean and real (unlike DQs or COs). Overall a very good RAW and i liked it. I think they are on the right track with all these matches instead of all those stupid skits.

The tile is his. It belongs to HHH and hes gonna get it back at Revolution. I hope Y2J wins it tho, that would be a nice change.

I wonder if there is any chance of HHH not getting the belt on Sunday. Maybe of once he will just let it go, YEAH RIGHT!!! I know im a dreamer.

Batista is improving week to week with his verbal skills and managing getting the fans behind him. He is getting quite funny. I hope he actually gets to lay into Trips during the match.

Edge and Y2J worked a solid match this week, the same can be said for HHH and Orton, though I knew that HBK would end up coming down at the end to somehow fuel the match going into the PPV.

Here in Canada, TSN blocked out when Snitsky grabbed Lita. I hate when they do that. They can show grown men beat each other to smithereens with chairs, bats, tables, etc. Yet they get ultra sensitive when a man grabs a woman - mellow out.

The whole debate was too long and should have been shortened, but it served its purpose - to create a match so Lawler can put the rookie over.

WWE booking 101: title goes toguy who lost on last raw main event, HHH thus making the royal rumble very intresting.
