RAW. Huh. What is it good for?

Absolutely nothing, say it again.

Cesaro finally wins.

Henry looked good.

The Ziggler vs Del Rio match was good but once again, Ziggler was about to lose clean. The Swagstar going nuts was possibly the highlight of the night.

The rest was pish.

that is all.

More detailed write up to come possibly but unlikely.

The defence for Mr McMahon would like to bring forth to the witness stand...TNA Impact.

So the defence is two wrongs make a right?

Impact was alright except for the ending.

Raw was junk apart from Cesaro, Del Rio and Henry.

I think next week, there should be more dancing - wasnt enough this week.

In my defence, I have been critical of TNA recently but there is no defending how bad Raw has been recently.

in the space of a 3 weeks ive gone from saying goodbye to punk, to not watching, to then completely forgetting it was on

Swaggers ladder shot on Ziggler looked brutal.

So not worth a watch? and should stick to the three hour combo of:

homes under the hammer, dont get done get dom and Jeremy kyle?

I started watching before work and promptly fast forwarded the Cena segment as soon as he started using someone else's gimmick to try and put him over with the crowd, the scumbag

If I were randy orton I'd be kicking myself, if it wasn't for past discretions he'd be owning this company at the minute. The crowd are really behind him. I have to say at the end though when he gets flattened by big show was pathetic, this is probably the most oversold move in wwe today. Big show barely puts any effort into the knockout punch, it's so slow I highly doubt it would put somebody down for the count

Seen the Jericho bit with fandango walking out which is probably the weakest bit I've seen between them since the rivalry first started (a rivalry I've actually enjoyed)

I think tonight ill likely watch the shield match and then skip the rest

Whilst Raw was bad there is quite literally no defending TNA lately.

Felt very much like the Raw you always get when the PPV gap is 6 weeks. Complete holdover show. I can only forgive because I am really liking the extreme rules card and stipulations.

The WHC build has been good, Swagger's explosion was lovely and brutal.

The mention of Gareth Bale was a low point, until O'Sullivan was congratulated on winning the Snuka World Championship.

I forgot Raw was on.

Though in fairness I forget TNA exists.

Mark Henry was immense. He really is one of the best on the roster at the minute.

I am looking forward to the Extreme Rules card. But i think WWE have left the gap way to long between mania and extreme rules.

WWE cant win, People say there needs to be less PPV's / Bigger gaps between them to prevent saturation and now you are saying there is too much time.

Essentially the writers dont have anything - how they are still in a job some of them ill never know...

p.s. not having a go: its just something i have seen...

If they utilise the bigger gaps then it'd be a good idea, but the fact is that the last couple of Raws have had enough substance to fill probably one Raw.

tbh i like the standard 4 week gap between 12 ppv's a year. Obviously a bigger gap between the chamber and Mania, as build up's need to go on for longer.

I think I'd rather see 6 week gaps, but only if the writers were capable of filling 6 weeks of tv with interesting programming. Current evidence shows that this isn't possible - they couldn't even manage it in the build up to Wrestlemania!

If as a writing team you can't go 6 weeks without a ppv, then you're possibly in the wrong job.

Also with regards to the segment where Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman invade WWE HQ, did anyone notice how the 2 posters they stopped at and voiced disapproval at where ones which had Sheamus and The Rock on? Is it a coincidence that these are 2 people Lesnar is rumoured to feud with? Dropping a few hints perhaps?

I'm not sure about the Sheamus one, but I'm sure the moment where he stopped and stared at The Rock poster was supposed to tease that feud.
