Hawk 34

No, he wasn't. Just to clarify for others interested, Doink is still an option as he was protrayed by other people.

So, you're taking the Matt Borne version?

I'm waiting for somebody to pick someone they already picked. This will happen in the late, late rounds. I also hope that while someone like Fart was picking his guy, Matzo would jump in and do his next pick (as he's legally allowed now) and it'd happen to be same guy.

CCR will be playing in my backyard tomorrow night.

Now why would they be trying to make him quit, when really they could do as they please with him and move him to a different area/release him, if they were so dead intent on getting rid of him. If you ask me, they're just throwing shit at the guy to in the long run make him a better commentator. Get him better acquainted to these situations. He's come fairly far (maybe an overstatement) from the guy who mistakenly said 'Jeff Harvey' in the only 2 lines of the night he had to say. It's much better for him to go through the rough patches now, on a show that nobody really gives a damn about, then just completely suck for the rest of his career. Which I'm aware some people will probably think he sucks his whole career regardless, but I'd dare say, if he's still doing this in 2 years, he'll be a lot better. (obviously) Adamle wasn't a cheap hire. Unlike Coach, they can't stick Adamle as a personality or a performer to cover the inability to call a match. If they can spend all the time they did with Cole in hopes he would get better, they can easily do the same with Adamle. It's a matter of how much Adamle wants to put forth that effort. Luckily, Adamle doesn't seem like he would stick with it, even if the pay is good. He could easily find work in some capacity.

Fitting that Adamle is the commentator on a brand with a world champion that WWE gave the same treatment to.

So, Hardcore Holly calls up somebody from that period he had no connection with to join him in the crusade against these guys. Why not go to someone already there? I'd rather D'Lo return on ECW as part of Teddy Long's Initiative Program. There's a natural feud for him right there already waiting.

I would be curious about when they decided to do this. Was the failure of the McMahon's Millions a breaking point for them to seriously put someone else on the top for a change?

I kept passing on Monsoon for the last 4 rounds thinking people forgot about his wrestling career.

I actually mean that. The Next Generation stable should align to take out all the older guys like Holly, Kane, Venis, Haas, and Duggan. I'm not suggesting to make it an long extended angle but it would be a decent starting point for those next generation guys to eliminate the past.

Holly should get another long tenured veteran who has been pushed aside. I'm talking about Val Venis. Yes, Val Venis.

The really intriguing thing about Raw right now is that they have so many possible directions to take with the top shelf guys that isn't revolving the same matches and same situations.

Why not just say Jericho? I'm all for a Bret Hart type reign since Jericho/Shawn and Cena/JBL can be the real headline act. Leaves Punk with guys like Burchil until they are ready to fully turn Batista.

Anyone else get the visual of Cena standing in the back trying to get back in and sees Cryme Time hawking product on the street and convinces them to beat down JBL's team?

Cena and Cryme Time beat down the security group and that distracted JBL. He turned around into a GTS.

Fantastic Raw tonight. The combo with CT and Cena is a great one.

I'm so glad they gave Jamie something to do on Raw.

Cena brought his working boots tonight and that's no surprise. Great match.

It means HHH-Cena is the rightful main event.

That was a damn good match right there and the right finish.

Henry deserves something, even if it's the ECW title after 12 years of being treated like shit.

SHOCKER!

Is it open to the entire WWE or just Raw? If it's limited to Raw...it's pretty much down to Punk, Kingston and Michaels. If it's Michaels, it'll be a instant no-contest brawl. It's a great chance to get the title off Jericho which is wasted (like always) on Jericho during this main event feud.
