RAW 8/14
Well, the night was kind of a mixed bad of decent, bad, and very bad. First, the Edge at Cena's home skit was bad. Bad in terms of we have seen it before, and who are they kidding that a pro wrestler can just enter a home of a rival, then assult that rivals father? If I had someone I didn't like, the last thing I think I could legally do, is enter that persons home, then beat up their dad. Ugh. On the decent side, the McMahon-DX setup, along with the Flair-Foley setup were both well done. The back and forth with Flair-Foley will go down as the best mic stuff for 2006. No doubt. And with DX-McMahon stuff, that also went down pretty well on Monday night as well.
The diva search was crappy, and the water fight was awful, as you could expect. Look for the Heat dancer Layla, to win this thing at this point. I can't believe that they are going to drag out an hour on this thing Wednesday. The very bad - how about Hogan trying to beat up the "fake" Hogan? Could that have been any worse? And is it me or did the whole segment just did not get over at all? The crowd seemed totally dead for this, and this is not the way that they wanted the last segment before the second biggest PPV to go down.
They need strong shows tomorrow and Friday to get people to want to buy this PPV. I also know for a fact there will be a strong radio and TV presence for the WWE this week to try and get people to buy the show. They will push Hogan as the main, but if they are smart, they will throw it on 3rd last behind the two other title matches.
Till ECW...
