Just wanted to say Thanks to whomever got rid of Kaedon. Well done.

i dunno, man, maybe I'M missing something with what he was getting at...he just lost me completely with his complaints, I mean I literally had no idea where he was headed with his train of thought...

Wow, low ratings all around. Raw was pretty bleh last week as a lead in to this week's, but how was UFC last week? Same idea?

Average show, average fight, a little underwhelming on Whitehead's part. Heavyweights are when you want to tune out.

If you call that an average fight, I'd hate to see your idea of a bad one. Rashad at least got some decent offense in, but the white stiff (Mike maybe?) just stood there, occasionally going in to give Rashad a hug. Seriously, I don't think he landed one punch, knee, elbow, or kick the entire fight.

For the show, that is an average fight. Rashad pushed the pace and made for some excitement, but his lack of finishing ability paired with Whitehead's timidity didn't mesh well. Maybe I was more absorbed with Hughes' reactions personally.

Can you believe some within WWE actually thought switching network was going to solve thier problems?

Yes, very easily.

I actually found this week's show much more entertaining than last week's, which was IMO just god awful. But we're talking about the larger trends in the WWE's programming, because that's what ultimately shows up in the ratings, not so much the subjective quality from week to week, which varys greatly and isn't always in line with the ratings. But you all know this already...

[King Cucaracha]

Yeah, but the six-sided ring needs to go as a permanent fixture, anyway.

 

It just doesn't look right, and somehow detracts from the action in the ring; by this, I mean that what are great moves inside a 4-sided ring, become ordinary moves in a 6-sided ring. It's almost as if the extra 2 sides implictly command a very high level of workrate. Very high risk moves are needed to compensate for the extra 2 sides, or so it seems, because it seemingly takes A LOT to pop the TNA crowd.

 

Yeah, like throwing a shoe at someone.

 

TNA usually have a real hot crowd. I don't have a clue where you're coming from as far as 'it's hard to pop the crowd'. Your arguement about the 6 sided ring sucks too.

[SamoaRowe]

TNA USED to have trouble popping the crowd when they ran out of that shit-hole in Tennessee. The Universal Studios audience seemingly eats everything they do up.
