Oh yeah, didn't see that coming. Waht else? The invasion. Bah. maybe it was Kane's return? Nope.
I'm not seeing daring programming either. I'm seeing clichéd angles, predictable turns, and boring storylines. A well-done feud between a hasbeen and an egomaniac, or Cena doing a single freestyle (that I've seen so far) aren't really saving graces. This isn't "edgy," it's retro. It was pushing the limits of TV half a decade ago, when Michaels showed his ass on TV and Austin would stun his best friend and have a beer.
Maybe I'm missing the added violence and the unpredictability and all that shit though. You wanna point some out for me?

Well we've had women beaten up and that wouldn't have happened on spike - not one woman but TWO, Flair busting himself open again - that wouldn't have happened on Spike.
HHH turning on Flair i kind of saw coming but then we've probably watched this stuff for years so why wouldn't we? It was still done very well and quite violent in a way. Raw probably does have a retro feel after thinking about it, i mean ive just tried to rack my brains for some stand out events or storylines as of late, and i really cant think of many.
The Austin storyline and the Triple H / Flair storyline then are the main points of my small arguement. I just feel that this kind of thing hasn't been done in a long long time and to see it all again just showed that the WWE will have more freedom and less censorship on the Usa Network.
I agree though with Cena, he needs to freestyle and be controversial.. he's too much of a goody goody rapper. Make him more like Eminem or dare i say it 50 Cent, all rappers have two sides to them good and bad and with Cena all you see is a rapper who's well behaved and boring. I know he's given Bischoff the F'U' but this is like Austin reborn only your replacing the stunner with the F'U'. They need to turn Cena heel and give him some freedom with his gimmick, maybe even give him a big ass bodyguard like some rappers have or a group that follows him around.
Get him iced out from head to toe and have him turn on the fans for making him whack, tell the fans he's not some Hulk Hogan Wannabe.. IM JOHN FUCKING CENA!
Those are just some thoughts ive been having lately, any opinions?
