Raw was nothing special this week. i dont like the fact that they have to put 6 men together because they have nothing else to do. At least they fighting for a title shot. Plus when was the last time tha women belt was defended? I think Hassain is already finished.

I didnt get to watch it, but from reading JV's Review, it didnt sound that bad...and about the Women's Title, you are right, they have given up on that when they fired all the good women wrestlers.

i gotta agree w/ rude boy here
i imagine it's hard to come up w/ storylines for everyone, or at least all the upper guys... but damnit, that's the writer's job. this is not a storyline.

Narc

I actually like this match. I hope the winner keeps the title shot till next year's WM...that should be interesting!

Why does everything have to be a storyline? The Rumble isn't a storyline. It is a match for a shot at the title and that is exactly what this is. Not to mention a 6 man ladder match with top wrestlers. People ALWAYS have to find SOMETHING to complain about no matter what lol.

i like the idea of the ladder match, i just wish guys like christian and jericho had a real story to fall back on after this. the match will create an instant story for one or maybe even 2 guys, but i like to see the more talented guys have something....... hopefully one of the chrises will win.....
i do like the rumble though.
i see your point ida, but i'd like the writers to earn their money, not just throw guys together

i will always find something to complain about,no matter what.
it's true

I've found that recently I've been disagreeing with JV's reviews more and more, but this week I agreed with him completely. Raw started out well with the HBK-Angle segment. Then, it hit a brick wall.

I understand they wanted to make HHH look strong, but the problem is that when you devote almost all your airtime to a select few performers, the crowd has no reason to care about anyone else. So, nobody gave a shit that Rosey was out there defending Hurricane's honor, or that HHH "injured" him after the match. This wasnt exactly bad booking, its just indicative of my main gripe with WWE right now, which is the excessive focus on the top of the card

The ladder match would be cool, but I really think they could have worked it better. I mean, what reason do these 6 guys have to be in a match together, other than the fact that they've all beeen pushed in the last year. Even if Bischoff had said something like "you guys have done a great job for me all year, and helped Raw be successful every week. I'd like to reward you by giving you a great opportunity, on the biggest stage of them all, to not only showcase your talents at Wrestlemania, but to advance your careers, yadda yadda yadda". But what the hell, i'm sure it will be a great match

Christian-Kane was just kinda there. Why make Kane the surprise 6th entrant? Did that really surprise anyone? Or was it their way of swerving everyone who thought it was gonna be Matt Hardy?

Y2J-Edge really just didnt click. They never really got any momentum. Very disappointing.

Benoit-Benjamin, however, was a good match. I think very highly of Benjamin as an in-ring performer, and Benoit brought the best out in him.

The Christy-Trish stuff is actually pretty good. I'm afraid of what we'll see at Mania, but the storyline heading into it has been great.

Batista-Flair was just kinda there. Nothing bad, nothing good. Just there. Flair did take a hell of a powerbomb for a guy his age though. And it did make Batista look strong going into Mania
