I dont think Holly-Lesnar could possibly be as bad as Steiner-HHH.

I also dont think HHH-HBK will be as good people assume it will be. LMS is a dumb idea for this match. A lot of what made the HHH-HBK match on RAW so good were the near falls. In LMS those are taken away, I mean I knwo you can do 8 and 9 counts, but its not the same as pin covers (as they say on SD). I mean it'll still be a good match, but i have a feeling if its overbooked it could end up being like their match in Dec 02 which I thought was horrible (At least for an HBK match).

As for the future, I mean it all depends on who has the title. If HHH keeps the title on RAW, we'll likely see another poor year for main event match on RAW. Granted HHH-HBK could be good tonight, and HHH-Benoit will be good for Mania and if they go again at Backlash. But, if HHH ends up with the title after the fued is over, who can he have great matches with? RVD is still dead, same for BT, and in all likelyhood HHH will get injured again at some point. Now, if Benoit were to have a long run with the title, then of course RAW will have better main events then last year. But even then, if they book Benoit against someone like Kane for a long term fued, well then that would likely produce some horrible matches.

On SD, the Rumble will be average, NWO if they go with Eddie-Brock will be awesome, and Mania, while it wont be a 4 star match, it'll likely have a special feeling where Brock will come away looking like a bigger star. Going past the Rumble, I think the plan is to go back to Eddie-Brock and possibly give Eddie a title run. If that happens there are tons of possibilities for god matches (ie Angle). even if Brock retains, aside from Eddie, he has Edge who will be back soon with a huge push, Cena down the line, and even Taker if he gets over with the Deadman persona could seem like a fresh fued.

I think I have more faith that SD will produce better matches, because they dont have HHH holding people down from getting to the top. But I would agree that it should be a better year for RAW provided the title is kept on Benoit for a long period of time.
