Thoughts on RAW and ECW
The WWE has now run two of its three TV shows this week, with just SmackDown on Friday night waiting in the wings. The week has been built around two angles, the John Cena-Randy Orton angle, in which they used John's Dad on Monday night at the RAW on Monday night in Boston. On Tuesday, the ECW TV was a four-way with the Miz, Big V, CM Punk and Boogeyman going at it for the number one contender spot, and Punk, much to my shock, walked away with the win to earn (yet again) a shot at John Morrison, who is becoming worse and worse on the mic each week if that is possible.
I thought that RAW had way to little wrestling, and still to much with the Vince angle, as well as too much backstage coming off of SummerSlam. I guess Triple H was brought back just to do comedy angles with Vince again, as instead of keeping the feud with Booker going, they instead went into a comedy angle with Carlito and Vince, in which they brought out a couple of ugly chicks and even a dude to make it as if Vince had slept with each one. Then in the end, Carlito went after HHH, and of course to keep strong, H came out on top and beat down Carlito.
Cryme Tyme is getting old, and if they are setting them up for the tag belts, get them on them quick, as I am already tired of doing the "sell off" stuff each week. It's the same old with the WWE, it was funny the first time, but after the 3,000,000 time, it gets old. Just like Ron Simmons week after week. Let the guy speak, or get him off of TV. The best comedy the company has on TV right now is William Regal and Santino Marella. Those two are good on screen. The rest I can do without.
I guess they are going to reverse thinking about a Umaga face turn and put him back with Jeff Hardy, which was supposed to be the angle for SummerSlam before Jeff got suspended. I for one like it, and I think that it will be a hot angle leading to what should be a good match at Unforgiven. Let's not forget that Hardy-Umaga was about the best match of Great American Bash along with Cena-Bobby Lashley.
As far as the ending angle, you knew that after they showed John's dad at ringside, they would do something with him. They are playing the beat down from Orton on John Sr. on WWE's website even with pics and what not. Solid angle, and should set up the rematch for Unforgiven, and I wouldn't doubt seeing John's father in his corner, and maybe Randy's dad - Bob Orton, in his corner. Who knows, that might not be a bad thing.
