raws not all that good now

i just posted a thread after watching smackdown saying that smackdown is now better then raw.
after just watching raw i still think its the show to watch.(smackdown)
like some people have said on my other thread raw has gone backwards.
bringing back rick flair is just a bit desprate if you ask me.
hopefully it will get better when hbk returns and hh and vince to liven things up a bit but untill then imight just be concentrating on smackdown for now.

I agree although it was only last week you where claiming it was brilliant, it seems your opinion is much the same as the RAW booking, all over the place!

Edge should have been drafted to RAW, no doubts about it, and Christian should have taken his place on SD, I'm glad the way its all worked out but RAW is suffering, funnily enough its had its best rating in about 4 weeks last night too, yet I doubt it will sustain that with last nights offerings

I watched my first full Raw this week for god knows how many months, and very little has changed.

and seeing Flair prance around like a 13yo on acid was pretty embarrassing.

Not as bad as seeing his roided up side kick try and mimic him, that was the last straw for me

Anyone notice how Flairs arms were almost as big as Batistas? steroidssssss

anyway Raw is shit, only watch it for the Miz to be honest

Smackdown isnt too bad but havnt watched a full show for a while

Everything is getting a little boring

Thought I was tripping (spliff in mouth at the time an' all) but yeah I noticed the gun's on Flair, at that backstage segment, they looked bigger to me though lol.

Yea Flairs guns where absolutely massive, infact he looked in great shape, the best he has looked in about 7 years, he has been doing a helluva lot of personal appearances lately and my guess would be he has been swallowing up the roids

SD is awesome just now, 3 weeks in a row now from start to finish it has been brilliant

I watched my first Raw in a few weeks last night, and it's got a bit shit. The Miz was the highpoint, but now I have a horrible feeling they're looking at either using him as a squash victim for Big Show, or in a feud with that promising rookie, Jerry 'The King' Lawler.

Santino wasn't as good as usual. Cena's involvement in the main event, where did that come from? And the bit when he hit Show with the chair and followed him up the ramp, why was that done at walking speed?

Kendrick was one of the guys I had hopes for a while back, now he's being chucked in a tag team with Gold-dust and his thing last week about a 'huge tag team partner' was barely mentioned. Lower card obscurity beckons.

Flair, them guns looked bloody impressive. Shame he keeps getting the pops he does, all it does is encourage him to come back.

And without Trips and HBK, the main event on Raw looks terrible - I don't see Big Show as a main eventer and haven't for years, MVP and Matt Hardy should start to be built as main-eventers, but WWE could be on their way to chucking them back into a feud together. As good as their last one was, I don't want to see that again just yet. As far as I see things, Raw has 3 genuine main-eventers in Orton, Cena and Batista. There's not even a monster heel that I can think of now that Kane and Mike Knox have been moved to Smackdown.

I said after the Draft that Smackdown looked the better show, and since the Draft, the blue brand has been so much better than the so-called flagship show, it's almost cruel.

I'm still hopeful that Kendrick will find 'THEEE' partner, the only reason I say is when RAW came back on air and I saw both Kendrick and Goldust in the ring I kinda knew their and then that Goldust wasn't going to be the partner, of course the whole angle could just have been to get Goldust and Hornswoggle together, although I hate Swoggle, I think it would be good to have him turn into a mini Goldust, it could help push Goldust to at least midcard status again, I still think Dustin Rhodes can work, apparenrtly in the recent European tour he was a guy who was having the longer matches, so I think that was a test to see if he could still perform!

I'd love to see Petey Williams be 'THEEEE' partner for Kendrick, I think having them two team up with say James Mitchell as their manager and the guy behind the attitude of Kendrick could be absolutely epic

The rumours I've read though is that through the next few weeks Kendrick will align himself with jobbers galore before finally unvealing the partner he will go with, which is rumoured to be Joe Hennig 'THEEEEEE' perfect partner

I said that at as soon as I watched it on 606 and I think on here. Kendrick will keep teaming with jobbers for a couple of weeks before he finds the right partner. I think it will be a big man and we will see a big little team, possibly Tomko?

I agree with that. Kendrick will have a couple more duds for partners before finding 'Theeee' partner whoever that may be. Raw is in really bad shape at the moment but hopefully Santina will now disappear and HBK will return before too long. Orton also needs to be booked completely differently, he's just being buried again at the moment. To be frank when the WWE champion is being made to look like the weakest superstar on the show, you're in trouble.

I agree, if they are only going to job Orton out then don't have him wrestle, let him cut his promo's get involved in the Pricele$$ matches if need be, but don't have him lose, especially by pin fall, Legacy are supposed to be this fantastic main event stable, yet they enter into handicap tag teams and still lose, better still Orton is the one pinned, ridiculous, #1 rule in Pro wrestling, don't book your world champion to be pinned on the weekly shows, if its vital for the story for him to be pinned then make it mean something, have the commentators selling it like crazy, make it look like the ultimate shock

Orton losing matches is now part and parcel of the show

Completely agree with that. If your World Champion is being made to look weak you're making a huge mistake especially when he has a stable to back him up as well. Fair enough make him a cowardly champion but this can easily be acheived without him being buried or made to look weak.

Cowardly champions seem to always get the pin falls so even when they are booked cowardly they still come across strong, Orton is trying to be this Pyschotic control freak yet gets killed everytime he is in the ring, no sense at all
