Years of programming, hours of epic matches and countless superstars, 899 airings of WWE Monday Night Raw lead up to... A 900th that was a GIANT letdown! That's it! I'm not watching next week!I COULD give a few examples of this whole build-up to a letdown, but I think the entire episode, asside from the three-way tag match maybe, took that premise that ran with it... Okay, maybe I should've said botched with it! In the words of Tom Servo of MST3K, "This thing started bad then fizzled out all together!" As for Jericho, I think he did the best by just walking out. Yes, his contract is expiring soon, likely the reason behind his current storyline because it gives them an easy way to either do away with him if he doesn't sign or keep him if he decides does sign. As for ending this, I've got THREE words for ya... SHUT UP, COLE!!! --------------------  *This banner is Ravel-icious!

True, everyone is entitled to their opinion, but personally, I see it as almost inevitable. I mean, he's definately evolved far beyond where he was when he first began (I think EVERYONE here hated him back then), he's become a major face in the company (working numerous PR events and conventions, including E3 this year to help promote the newest video game), and he's really showing that he can get a major reaction from the crowds wherever they go. Call it the "Cena" way of getting over, because he did it pretty much the same way, but he's indeed getting over in a major way. As for Khali, yes, he SHOULD always be a monster heel. Now, he's just this decade's answer to El Gigante. --------------------  *This banner is Ravel-icious!

On 21 Century's post: I agree with everything but MIZ ever being main event. I just don't see it. He doesn't have what it takes. It is just my opinion.I hate Michael Cole as an announcer heel or face. He sux swamp water. Cena as a heel just doesn't work. He's been there and done that and he's much better as a face that also gets some heat. I don't like the Nexus push. We're talkin' rookies that haven't paid their dues. Yes, they have talent. I won't take that away from them, but I'm tired of every newbie getting a push when there are so many talented people in the biz that have been around longer than a cup of coffee. Let them take some bumps for a couple of years and then see who's still around. Great Khali needs to be a monster all of the time. Let's face it, if this were real life, he would be unbeatable except by the very very best in the biz. Vicki Guerrero? Why on God's green earth and the blue hell is this woman even in the biz? Yes, Eddie was a good wrestler in his day. Pound for pound one of the best. His wife? She has NO SKILLS. She gets cheap heat. Release her already. Vince, you've done great by her, but her time is done. Let her go to the indies. Maybe some little outfit in Tennessee or Missouri could use her. Just the name recognition alone should give her some work someplace, but she's not for the WWE. Everone have a great week. -------------------- 
Gone, gone, gone. I've done my time and it's time to move on.

Okay, let's talk Raw! Shall we?First off, I just wanna say that there are TWO things that I think need to stop! 1. Building a monster heel, then turning him into a total pussy when he wins a major title. Sheamus was built up as a monster, but after winning gold, he becomes a total pansy who just barely wins his matches, or sneaks out of them with a DQ while keeping the title. Dammit! If you're gonna build someone as a monster, KEEP IT THAT WAY! 2. Stop with the damn anonymous GM BS! If anything, it's just annoying, and no one wants someone else getting over via "annoyance heat"! If we wanted that, we'd watch Smackdown and wait for Vickie Guerrero to show up! Still, there were a few good points tonight. I thought the Miz/Cena match was great. I like how they made mention of their history too, instead of doing what they've done before, which is hope that everyone already forgot about it and act like it never happened. Looks like Miz is just a few steps away from the main event picture, which in my opinion, is AWESOME! Okay... ONE more thing I think needs to stop. 3. Michael Cole SUCKS as a heel announcer! Again, just "annoyance heat"! And did anyone else get the impression that the Raw main event at Night of Champions may be an Elmination Chamber match? Though they called it a "6-pack challenge" I could see it happening. Either that or each one has to bring a 6-pack of brew to the event and the one who brings the best takes the title. (Predictions: Sheamus-Galway Hooker Irish Pale Ale, Edge-Mill Street Wit Bier, Jericho-Fort Garry Pale Ale, Barret-Wychwood Hobgoblin, Orton-Flying Dog Snake Dog IPA, Cena-Samuel Adams Cherry Wheat) --------------------  *This banner is Ravel-icious!

Triple H is going to be revealed as the 7th member of Team WWE. He is going to then do the swerve and be revealed as the leader of Nexus! He will say they have Sheamus a free pass because he wanted Sheamus all to himself when he got back...=) --------------------
