I was telling legend this yesterday. I personally think the show has been complete crap. And I was so high on it up until the week after Cena came. The whole booking, aside from HBK/Hogan, has been complete crap. And here's my reasons why.
First of all, since I mentioned HBK/Hogan, I am just not as excited as I should be about this match. I think HBK has done a hell of a job, but I think Hogan's image is finally starting to get to me. The more he comes back, the less I care about him. I was pumped about Rock/Hogan at Mania 18. I was pumped for his match at Mania 19. He feud with Brock/Taker and Angle after that I was excited to see. But ever since coming back at Mania 21, I just don't care about him anymore. I don't know what it is, but his aura is gone from where I'm sitting.
This whole Cena/Jericho thing is ridiculous. I still don't get why Jericho has a Title shot when Angle and HBK are there. This reminds bme of Warrior vs Rude at Summerslam 90. All of a sudden Rude gets a Title shot because he had a pin over Warrior. Jericho hasn't been booked strong in ages and all of a sudden we're suppossed to take him seriously. I don't think so
Carlito/Shelton. The fuck happened here. They give CCC the IC, which I thought was great. Now it seemed like we would see an awesome feud between the two, but instead CCC gets like 3 DQ losses, making Shelton look like a complete goof by the 3rd one. Then Shelton is not even feuding with him anymore and CCC is with Cena/Jericho. I know Shelton was on Raw last night, but I can't remember what he did. Where was the payoff match. Where's the logical booking here?
Matt/Edge. WTF? Okay, so Hardy is suppossed to be anti-establishment right? So that means he comes out of the owner's limo and shakes his hand on national TV? And what the hell were they doing last night in his match with Snitsky. So here we have Matt Hardy, getting some of the biggest face pops out of anybody on the roster, making his big return match. Here we have Snitsky, who hasn't been booked strong in ages and hasn't won a match in a long time. So you could say they gave up on pushing him, correct? So why in the fucking world do you have one of your most over babyfaces getting destroyed by a guy that isn't going anywhere? What was the point of that? Hardy should of beat him in 40 seconds. Instead he gets no offense in and we watch him take a pounding for 85% of the match. Great job guys.
Not being able to care about anybody else on the roster. Tell me this. It seemed like they were pushing VIS, right? I mean I hate the guy, but they were giving him a push, correct? Oh wait, 2 months later and now he's getting jobbed to the new guy. So we have some strong guys job to Vis because Vis was getting a push and now Vis is jobbing to someone new 2 months later. Not that I care about Vis jobbing, but how is the audience suppossed to get attached to characters if the WWE keeps changing thier minds on who's getting the push and who's not. They need some long term plans to get people over. And this applies to guys like Benjamin and people who I can't think of because I can't remember who's on Raw right now.
They are doing a good job with Masters, but nobody gives a shit about him still after all these wins and challenges.
The tag Title situation I'm not going to even talk about.
Well that's my 2 cents. Seriously, the past couple of shows have just seemed like nothing is advancing. We got guys here, we got guys there and we'll give them a match. That's what it feels like to me.
