Lita is going to Smackdown, unless she returns with Austin and JR. Why put her on the show with the women who can't wrestle, instead of using her to add depth to a nicely developing women's division?
One word: Mattitude. Lita will threaten to break up the HoYay! between Matt and Shannon Moore.
Over 1100 posts and still never a Wiener of the Day!
After the past two weeks, they've got no one to blame but themselves for Goldberg not drawing. It's a shame because whatever you think about him, he could've been a draw for them.
At least I won't have to listen to Lita if I decide to watch Heat...
I'm honestly losing interest. When the best part on a show is Gillberg and a stalled engine there are severe problems.
Good to see that HHH was correct in not caring about the title match. I'd be fine with that comment had actually, ya know, LOST. What a horrible way to end a match. It was God-awful. This was a world title match that was fought for. It should have had some kind of ending. I'd rather be able to just bitch about Trip going over again than watching a match that was blown off. Not only was the match blown off, Booker was too. I'm not even a big Booker fan but this is just out of hand.
And Jericho protecting HHH's title is an insult to the fans. It makes zero sense. Of course this is the WWE, but they have even acknowledged their past rivalry and hatred. The bookers don't have a f*cking clue.
I leave for London in under 3 weeks for the entire summer. At least I won't miss watching RAW.
It was hard to like this show, the only parts I found enjoyable were those *unintentional* attempts at comedy:
- Goldberg's car stalling - Goldberg running in the wrong direction after the limo - Shawn's pants coming undone (maybe more scary than funny) - Scott Steiner tagging in from the wrong corner
The return of Gillberg was fun and all but I don't think it did much to elevate the Rock-Goldberg feud.
To everyone that said there was an ending to the main event... you're wrong. It's still going on. (And expect me to say this every week until HHH and Booker fight again.) Not that anyobdy will remember it, though... That more than anything else pissed me off tonight. It's the World Title! You would think they could at least ring the bell for a countout or something. I would actually assume that they'd call it a countout victory for Booker, but that's only if there was a finish.
I have to agree, Shawn getting pantsed was great. Not nearly as great as the unintentional humor from Goldberg (for some reason, when he walked by the Hummer, I was halfway expecing him to break a window with his elbow), but still good. Maybe I'll just watch for the screwups now...
It's not that there wasn't good things about the show, it's just that they couldn't outweigh tthe amount of shit that this week's show contained. Couldn't they have put some actual WRESTLING in the show instead of non-wrestling segments that do nothing? Who's brilliant idea was it to give Steiner and Test a tag match(neither of whom have announced matches at the PPV) instead of RVD and Kane?

Or the liner notes to a Snoop Dogg album. Just sayin'.
Lita's acting skills have improved. Say, from an Anna Nicole Smith to a Pamela Anderson.
Rodney Mack got me thinking... when was the last time they had an out-and-out squash match like that on RAW. And I mean, with a no-name jobber. God, I hope that HHH and Nash aren't behind that. "Vince, we need more jobber matches. We're giving away too much of the good stuff on free TV. Think Superstars of Wrestling on Saturday mornings!"

"My brother saw the Undertaker walking through an airport." "Was he no-selling?"
- That Hummer Limo was awesome - I watched that car die about twelve times, laughed more each time
The Bad
- Everything Else - PLUS, when Kevin Nash snuck up behind Eric I thought it was Mideon on stilts...only uglier...with boobs...and dyed hair.

I knew I wasn't the only one to think Nash's chest looks weird. It parts funny I don't know.
Well Booker's buried, Jeff Hardy is off TV, and Goldberg is the main talk of RAW. I'm bowing out of RAW instead of complaining about it for now. The stress ain't worth it.
Well after I woke up almost an hour into the program,I realised that I had awoke just in time for the one thing that I was looking forward to tonight on RAW... The Rock Concert II.I should have stayed asleep.Now is it just me or has the Rocks mic skills and catchphraseability (if that is a word)declined since his many absences in Hollywood. I know Rocky has always kind of had an improvisational feel to his promos but lately, going back at least as far as the via-satelite interviews at and following the RAW X special (lol, did I say special?), it appears to me that Rocky has lost his touch, along w/ his ability to raise his eyebrow.Add to that the fact that as talented as Rock may be in the ring, on the mic and in movies, hereally has no musical ability at all. Now I know he's a heel and that he's supposed to be over the top, and hes supposed to believe that hes a big Rockstar though he cant carry a tune, but I felt that the "performance" was just way to drawn out and didnt even feature the best part of the original Rock Concert, that being Stone Cold smashing Rockys prized Willie Nelson cutom guitar and then playing the busted fret,LMAO. Instead it had bacstage hijinx involving Stone Colds much les talented and much less charasmatic clone GoldBerg. Theyre both bald, both bad asses,goatee... check....Black trunks.... check...and they both have an automotive fetish. And as always seemed to happen in the dying days of the last promotion that Billy boy sat atop, something went terribly, yet laughably wrong.And then we are treated to .... An ENCORE!!!...WWEeeeeeeee!!! I'm just so tired of the product right now and blown opurtunities, that the bad is undeniably outweighing the good.As for the main event, I was so psyched not at the premise of a title change, because the RAW tile means about as much as the WCW TV title that resides in some landfill as I type, no I was psyched cause with almost 20 mins. to go, the main event.. BY GAWDDD!!!... was a rasslin' match, and after 15 mins of entrances, was guaranteed to get at least 15 min including the over run. The match itself wasnt bad, but somewhere between the HBK pantsing and Nash's walk-in every concievable thing went wrong in a 2 min span. I mean where did Booker go?? He was thrown out of the ring and forgotten, tossed away so the clique could get face time and keep up the intrigue and suspence act, that will all end w/a SUPRISE reunion and a Booker beat down post mortum at BackLash. The prodution level was horrible, from the stalled car to the botched ME ending to the fact that the result of the match (DQ? or just we're to stupid to come up w/ a logical ending anymore?)just left me sitting and wondering.... Why did I wake up for this???
"You go ahead and talk about your psalms and your "John 3:16", Well "Austin 3:16" says I just whupped your ASS!!".
"You know the world is going crazy when the best rapper is a white guy, the best golfer is a black guy, the tallest guy in the NBA is Chinese, the Swiss hold the America's Cup, France is accusing the U.S. of arrogance, Germany doesn't want to go to war, and the three most powerful men in America are named 'Bush', 'Dick', and 'Colon. Need I say more?"
Rodney Mack got me thinking... when was the last time they had an out-and-out squash match like that on RAW. And I mean, with a no-name jobber. God, I hope that HHH and Nash aren't behind that.

I thought that too. First thing that sprung to mind was the sight of Ahmed killing doughy jobbers... '95 comes to mind, but I'm terrible with dates.
