1. Never thought I'd say this, but I'm glad Umaga won the IC Title. I mean seriously, I don't hate Santino Marella or anything, but his random title run was way to drawn out and never should have happend in the first place. I didn't dislike him, I just didn't give a crap at all. They made his character completely freakin' meaningless and you can't have that holding a title, any title.

2. Great American Bash 2007: Countdown to Oblivion

That's what they should sub-title it. And the poster should have front face shots of Lashley and Cena, but terminator-esque with half robotic faces on both and a mushroom cloud in the back.

WWE is headlining this event, with quite possible, the worst match up for a world championship ever. We knew it was inevitable, but I didn't know it would be so soon. Cena vs. Lashley. It's on. And we are all the victim of a crime against humanity.

3. Glad to see Kennedy and King Bookah T back in action. I thought it was funny how the announcers couldn't figure out whether to call him "King Booker" or "Booker T".

4. I see an alarming signal on Raw right now. I know 'rumors' say Triple H wants an Orton push and title run and that Cena's time as champ is coming to an end. BUT, look at Raw's main event scene right now. Yes, it's overloaded. More importantly...it's overloaded with HEELS. Main Event heels to throw into a clusterfuck match with Cena so that Cena can overcome the odds again and again and again. Maybe I'm reading too deep for WWE writing and booking, but this looks to be not at all promising.

5. Why the hell is Sandman on Raw? I know everbody is asking that same question...does anybody have an answer for this? He is not suited for wrestling. Let him get in their and whack some people with a cain, chair, or trash can back on ECW.

6. Is the Sandman-Carlito 'feud' supposed to be getting interest in either person? Because I fail to give a damn about either one of them. I've had my ups and downs on Carlito, at first, I hated him. Then he was okay. Then I hated him again. Then I started to actually like him at the most recent heel turn and I thought "Okay, maybe he is going somewhere." But of course, he was going right back down into "Nobody gives a flying fuck land".

7. I like how they have chosen to completely ignore the McMahon storyline now. They'll never mention it again, but Vince will remain off TV for a month or two, and then show back up and just hope nobody remembers. Most people probably won't.0

8. Sometimes I think Melina is quite unattractive, sometimes I think she is the hottest diva hands down. All the time I want to nail her.

I thought it was a pretty good RAW. First one I almost completely sat through in a while excluding the Women's match (I always skip that shit unless they're both good wrestlers). I think the Beat the Clock concept is great and kept me interested, even if I did figure out the outcome early on.

I also liked how the "Triple H: Coming Soon" promo was placed just before the main event, as if it was setting the precedent for a few weeks/months down the road and months to come.

Though, it wasn't a BEAUTIFUL DAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY. :'(

I 100% agree with number 1. Hell, he may have been the worst IC Champion ever.

Yeh, I hope they continue to 'hype' his return.

Oh, and...

9. Lashley got a little more over with me when he speared Cena at the end.

10) Candice is really boring on commentary. I hope now that she's had what I can only assume is a contractual title run she goes back to getting naked for my benefit.

So is Lashley a heel now, or is he just trying to be Shawn Michaels?

It appeared to me it was just like the HBK situation...

He speared him, but he didn't get all heelish afterwards. He didn't beat him to death, nothin. Just spear, pose with the belt, leave. And he was still all smiley afterwards.

Also, is Benjamin going to become known for taking moves from the top rope? The Sweet Chin Music that Michaels hit as he was leaping was part of Raw's intro for a long time... will we see the midair spear for the next 6 months?
