I will admit that RAW isn't the best that it could be and that it may have to do with some of the WWE talent scouts/writers being straight dumbasses, but if it is that bad, then just dont watch it. Yea, easier said than done, but its not that hard to do either. The problem with the WWE writing as a whole is that those who grew up watching it and were loyal fans have GROWN UP, yet they fail to realize that. My Point: Cryme Tyme is the shit

I'm afraid not, it was a vehicle to wind you up, and it's worked. Gimmicks on messageboards?

So you admit 'Raw isnt the best' yet the opening tirade you posted was that it was 'pretty damn decent'. You then say that its down to the writers being 'straight dumbasses', again contradicting your original view that it was 'decent'.

I'd say that you are backtracking under the weight of popular feeling. Raw is terrible, has been for weeks, there are no real storylines happening on Raw.

Look at Hardy & Nitro, they wrestle week after week for the IC title, and I don't recall one single promo between them. This is for the (alledged) second most prestigious title in the WWE. They are just fighting, because, there isn't much else for them to do as neither are trusted on the mic, or are anywhere near a main event level. JR mocks Nitro for not wearing the belt, but then shouts 'BAHGAWD HERE COMES THE MARINE!' when John Cena appears carrying the belt like a 50% off Subway lunch. Carlito has 2 minutes a week to put over some sort of ladies man gimmick. DX have a good half hour, pretty much doing nothing. 'Cryme Time are the shit' according to you, but they are never in the ring. They are of course, a recycled 4 year old gimmick with 25 year old jokes (i can tell you liked that one).

I don't have high expectations, I've been watching this crap for the last 3 years without any, but when Raw drops below the level of when Triple H was winning the title carrying an injury where he could hardly walk, then there's issues with the programming. As I say, I may watch it this Monday, I may not. I certainly won't be bothered if I missed it.

And just to remember Johnny, my opinion matters......*sigh*...more.
