I didn't think RAW was
too bad this week. There was absolutely no reason for the whole DX skit. I know they are over, and they make shit-loads for the WWE, but they suck. I'm sorry, but if they aren't going to add new members, there is no point.
Jobbing The Highlanders out to them was redundant, because Rory and Robbie are a comedy team. Cryme Tyme are the team they're going to push to World Tag Team Championship success. Oh, how I wish they'd give Shad Gaspard and JTG, Ric Flair as a manager.
Kane and Umaga are actually having a decent feud. They need to make Kane a pure psycho, again, and having Estrada take some bumps is the way to do it. I think he does have training as a wrestler. They are really building this up to some kind of Specialty Match, which will probably take place at Cyber Sunday. Umaga will probably go over, but I don't think his character needs to be undefeated. Hell, if the WWE brings back the nWo, with Eric Bischoff as a mouthpiece, I'd have Umaga start using his real name, and join them. Then point out he trained in Japan, is cousin to The Rock, and can fly. That will get him over the company's future monster. Fuck this Samoa Jamal shit.
King Booker looked really out of place on RAW, which I think is good. It always kirks me when guys cross brands so easily. None of that for the former Booker T. Part of me still wishes they'd end the brand split. It'd fix a lot of the WWE's problems. Plus, with King Booker a heel World Champion, and John Cena a babyface World Champion, they have a unification match all set for Survivor Series.
Shelton Benjamin needs to turn face. He shows much more personality as a face, although some of the subtle things he does as a heel are quite good. Did anyone else notice him choke Jeff Hardy for a bit when he had him in the corner. It just seemed so natural. A feud with King Booker would be pretty sweet, but they need to move him to SmackDown! for that to happen.
If the rumours about The Hardy Boyz and The World's Greatest Tag Team are true, I'd have both teams re-unite at the RAW Family Reunion. You don't even need to explain them getting back together. It's a reunion. The Hardy Boyz should be on SmackDown! with the cruiserweight tag teams. The World's Greatest Tag Team could really do the leg-work in a feud with Cryme Tyme, providing CT are willing to do their part.
