first things first... the intro for raw was CLASSIC. hhh coming out to hbk's intro ? hilarious.
dreamer/rvd match was great, but i wanted MORE hardcore action. it also seemed a little slower than an ecw match, but it was still good. stupid how the ic strap was unified with every other belt possible with the exceptions of the women's, cruiserweight's, tag, and undisputed. the fink/lillian bit should FINALLY be over with. it was retarded from the start. island boys need to do more than just sneak attack people, because yea... it's predictible. and boring.
anyone else tired with the "dudley boys" ? from a great tag team to a team without the brother from another mother. it's sad.
overall raw was pretty good. just that nothing really wowed me. i had more laughs than anything really.

Raw kinda blew, in my opinion. I think it just started off on the wrong foot. They made Brock look like a chump, and even though he is the world champion, they made it seem like H and Undertaker were more important. That's the kind of shit that pisses me off. They spent months building up Brock as the unbeatable monster, and who was the one taking all the bumps in that opening promo? Brock. That is crap booking that is just not productive. Brock shouldn't have been pushed around by anyone. If anything, he should have given both of those guys F5s to show them WHY he's the one holding the ten pounds of leather and gold on his shoulder.
Well, that's enough bitching. I liked the Jericho/Jeff match, but not because it was the best match ever, but rather, because it was given time to develop. I also liked the RVD and Dreamer match. It was just a fun little spotfest/brawl.
I thought the Snuka thing was horribly evil, but then again, I thought it was just about the funniest thing I have seen on wrestling program in a long time. Come on, did anyone think for even a minute that Evil Uncle Eric would have actually taken the time to honour a legend in such a sappy way? And Jericho coming in and stealing some heat for himself by attacking Snuka just added to my enjoyment. So wrong; yet so funny. :)
And hey, Kane came back. And look at that, he's a luchador now! I'd make the obvious Mortis joke here, but Scott Keith already did it in his Raw rant. But seriously, a trimmed down Kane with that new mask and darker hair, REALLY looks like Kanyon from his Mortis days. But anyway, that was a pretty weak Raw after an awesome SummerSlam.

Raw = above average.
I agree with Ashod about how the played Brock, but I have a feeling in time Brock will end up rolling over both Taker/HHH.
I enjoyed the Jeff/Jericho match and was surprised they gave them so long.
I wonder if the all the "merged" belts are somehow gonna show up on Smackdown soon...
*Kanes new outfit is sweet btw, though I don't know about the new mask. He looks in alot better shape too*

Raw was really good tonight. Kane's return was great, good to see him continuing his goofy character. Booker continues to rule, and HHH continues to stink up the joint.
The IC title now consists of the-
WWF National Title
WCW United States Heavyweight Title
WWF European Title
WWF Hardcore title
THAT\'S ONE HELL OF A TITLE.
-
They might as well unify the cruiserweight belt with the IC belt, too. I mean, the little guys are mixing it up with the big guys on Smackdown most weeks anyway, so that division is all but dead.
-
The CW division is still doing great on Smackdown I think. Last week nearly the entire first hour was all CW.
-
Yeah, I think I worded that wrong. I think what I meant was that competition for the cruiserweight title is pointless at this point, because they don't seem to be putting Jamie Noble in any singles feuds to defend the thing. I still think they should have cruiser matches, but I think feuds between cruisers and non-cruisers should still happen, too.
-
Someone took a shit in Tiger Ali's turban, he's suing Vince for forcing him into a degrading gimmick.
I once read he actually paid to be on the Roster.
-
i totally forgot about Kane coming back. but him doing that retarded "kane-a-roonie" made it very forgettable. his new duds suck, and that mask is just ok. now that you can actually hear him speak a little more clearly, i find him unintimidating.

Smackdown thoughts/spoilers
Smackdown was okay tonight. There were a few Velocity-type matches which boggled my mind a bit...but hey, whatever. I liked how they did that Mysterio promo before his match; it made it seem like you were about to see a special attraction. And his match with Rico was match of the night in my mind, but the main event was close.
And speaking of the main event...I can't say I was happy to see the Undertaker come out as the surprise. I knew that they weren't going to do Angle and Brock at the PPV, and I really doubted that Benoit would get a PPV title shot...so I guess this is the only way to handle it. I liked that main event, and Undertaker wasn't that bad. I think the reason I liked the match, though, was because of all the submissions used during the last bit. Also, because Angle and Benoit were bumping like hell for each other and the Undertaker.
