Raw

Kurt Angle – Ric Flair promo:

Well, that was interesting to say the least. And I hope Angle v Flair doesn’t happen, because it would be beyond idiotic to give it away for free on Raw with less than 2hrs notice.

Edge and Gene Snitsky v Kane and ?

Why is Kane v Edge continuing when they had a blowoff finish last night?

And the Smackdown draftee is…Big Show.

Rhetorical question: Why are they stripping Smackdown of every viable piece of talent they have?

Big Show v Gene Snitsky

Skimmed this, and it still felt like it went on forever. It should have been a 30-second squash.

John Cena promo

This was a somewhat amusing way to bring in HBK.

Edge-Lita-Kane vignette

Kane wants to make Lita’s life a living hell? This whole angle has made everyone’s lives a living hell. End this crap now.

Chris Masters-Tajiri angle

No entrance for Masters, which could be telling. Tajiri calling Masters a jackass was predictable and boring. If the writers must mock the Japanese, can’t they do it in an original manner?

Carlito’s Cabana with ROB VAN DAM

Rhetorical question: Why are they stripping Smackdown of every viable piece of talent they have?

And it’s interesting that RVD is the only Smackdown draftee to get beaten up upon arrival.

Angle v Flair

Well, they didn’t give it away for free with less than 2hrs notice. They gave it away for free with less than 1hrs notice. Way to go, brain surgeons(!). The match wasn’t bad, but it was too much of a Flair match, and Flair got in way too much offense; Angle should have beaten him with ease. At least Angle won clean, though.

Diva Search

The fast forward button was made for shit like this.

Batista promo

Blah.

Christian, Jericho and Tomko v Cena, Shawn and Hogan

Hogan makes perfect sense as the partner, because when I need someone to watch my back in a fight I know I call for a barely mobile 52-year old .

I skipped to the finish. I was surprised Hogan was able to hit the legdrop. I was not surprised that, not only did they not hype Hogan’s return for weeks and weeks, but that Cena was reduced to window dressing. Way to push Cena(!).
