I really like the way they've been giving RAW a "saving grace" every week recently. Last week it was Kurt Angle vs. Shelton Benjamin (the first of many matches between the two, I hope), and this week we got the Edge vs. Matt Hardy Street Fight (most exciting match on RAW in a long time). Next week the WWE has signed Kurt Angle vs. Eugene.
Why would the WWE do this? Kurt Angle has already beaten Eugene. He has already gone over him as strong as he could, and he has already been CHEERED for it. What has changed, despite Eugene no longer having Christy Hemme at his side, to make Angle more of a bad guy against Eugene? I personally am praying they have Eugene reveal that this is all just a bad gimmick placed on him by Eric Bischoff, and that he'll be wrestling Angle as "Mr. Wrestling" Nick Dinsmore, with Dinsmore getting the win with a finishing move (I was about to say the Bridging German Suplex, his OVW finisher, but he does do a pretty awesome version of the Rock Bottom), with a little help from John Cena.
Kurt Angle vs. Nick Dinsmore, given 20 minutes on RAW, would easily be worth paying for. Giving it to us for free is a great way to boost our spirits about RAW and the future of the WWE.
