Raw Thoughts

Duke

i enjoyed the show and am already lookin forward to next week(i have a feeling that if they do bring bret in for summerslam he might in fact HELP shawn beat hogan.

i hope bret doesnt interfere. unless they plan on extending the feud beyond summerslam. but considering hogan's age and the whole "one more match" concept i have a feeling its a one-time deal.

anyway i didnt see much of RAW, but i loved the end. im stoked. HBK is the man. and i dont care what anybody says about hogan, i am a certified bonified hulkamaniac. i am a total 100% mark for this match. cant wait!!

it's still real to me, dammit!

They don't need to extend it, ppl lose interest in Hogan after a while, hopefully HBK beats him and he disappears till WM where he'll take on Austin in the last dream match concerning him.

I found RAW to be very average last night. Here's my pro/con list:

Pros:
-HBK was solid on the mic and showed more signs of the old HBK.

-Eugene-Angle segment was good and I think the two will have a good match at SummerSlam.

-Edge was very convincing and effective in his promo. He blew Hardy away IMO.

-Rob Conway showed good mic skills in his promo.

-John Cena's new video was pretty cool.

Cons:
-Matt Hardy wrestling. No way should he have wrestled before SummerSlam, and then to have him wrestle Snitsky of all people! Sometimes I just don't understand how WWE can be so stupid. This Hardy-Edge-Lita angle is losing momentum each week, largely because of the booking.

-There wasn't one good match on the show.

-Carlito has no opponent for SS and Shelton Benjamin was buried with his loss to Masters. Also, why wasn't Big Show there?

-Diva Search.

-Highlight Reel. It wasn't a bad segment, I just didn't find it all that interesting.


-----------------------------------------------------------
Looks like it's time for the Hulkster to hit the road. His crowd reactions have decreased recently and last night he received mixed reactions both times he appeared on camera (having him run-in to help Eugene against Angle in a pro-Angle crowd wasn't too smart IMO). Hopefully he'll be gone immediately after SS and will stay away for 5-6 months.

Pros:

Jericho calls Cena "Young M Cena" Haha, thats funny. Jericho flicking the ref was funny too.

Viscera and Conway backstage segment was mildy entertaining.

Ashley getting the pie in the face was freaking hilarious. I dont know why I liked that so much. Hahaha, I guess they are all getting a pie in the face.

Cons:

I fast forwarded through a couple a matches like Rosey and Hurricane vs. Heartthrobs. Seriously, are these the only two tag teams left? Wait, is Hurricane and Rosey the champs? Huh? I am confused.

Viscera vs. Conway. Get this gimmick off of Conway NOW NOW NOW.

Its soooooooooo freaking obvious that Jericho is going to lose to Cena at Summerslam its not even funny. Cena has been getting the worse end of this fued up to this point, thus Cena goes over big at SS.


With Summerslam only two weeks, what in the holy hell is Matt Hardy doing in a match??!?!?!?!? Sooooooooo fucking stupid. Matt shouldnt be bumping for anyone right now. Especially Zitsky. Althought I really liked his new finisher.



Overall, a pretty boring Raw

Best Sig ever, we agree.

I missed most of the show this week, so I can't really comment. I'll just say that Viscera still cracks me up, and I actually think the Heartthrobs are funny.

Also, Edge's promo was awesome. Probably his best serious one that I can remember. His E&C stuff was great, but that was mostly comedic

Tyler Durden

I've read the spoilers this week and have absolutely no compulsion to watch this show at all. I'll save myself for next week!!

Dr. Giganto

I forgot to mention Lawler's commentary during the Hardy match

"Don't make Matt upset, he'll send you an angry e-mail"

lol. Good stuff King. He can still be decent from time to time

Mr. Kennedy

I thought Raw was good, for the most part. It's kind of sad to see that Raw only has 2 tag teams. I HATE HATE HATE Rob Conway's gimmick and hope the writers get rid of it as soon as possible. I thought the promo between Hogan and Michaels was good and enjoyed the fact that they hinted at Bret Hart showing up either newt week on Raw or at SummerSlam.
I also like how they are progressing the Matt Hardy-Edge angle.
