Shit ending to an average looking RAW. Austin as Sheriff? Ok there. Who's the deputy? Debra?

By the way, the main event was great.

I thought it was a great way to bring in Steve Austin, to have HBK lose the match.

But Steve Austin being brought back is horrible! I would rather have a consistant Steph-Vince fued on TV than have Stone Cold back. His new role will probably allow him to Stun anybody, at any time. So he runs into matches that he doesn't like or something stupid, stuns BOTH people (ie SD! In Baghdad), and ruins the credibility of both wrestlers.

We already have HHH on RAW. We don't need Austin as well.

What's your problem with Austin? Even if he did stun 2 wrestlers in a match they would not lose their credibility. Austin being back is a great idea. ANd I like the ending to the HBK-HHH match

The problem with Austin stunning everyone is twofold. First, it makes Austin seem tougher than everyone else on the roster. Nobody gets up from the Stunner, so Austin will do the move, and the guy will take a powder, that makes Austin look dominant. The problem with that is that Austin isn't going to be a full time worker anytime soon, so having him be dominant is akin to what Mcmahon was saying on RAW about feeding a kid candy everyday, its not good for them.

Second thing is that Austin will not be working any real matches ever again, so people who eat a Stunner have no way to get back at him in a physical manner. And if they were to attack him the person would look like a punk because Austin has a near broken neck. So its a no win situation, its kinda like getting into a fight with a girl, if you hit her you're an abuser, if she beats you up you're a pussy.

The other thing to consider is that when Austin was coming up as a star, Sgt Slaughter was a TV figurehead, how many times did Slaughter KO Austin? I'll answer it for you, never, and thats in part what got Austin over, because he looked tougher than everyone else and the fans rallied behind him. Had Austin been laid out week after week by a Cobra Clutch he wouldn't have got over like he did.

That's a pretty funny mental image.

So now any time the face loses, as long as the fans sign a petition, the match will basically become overturned and the LOSER will actually GAIN from the whole situation?

Makes no damned sense. Obviously Austin was going to come back, but this wasn't the way to do it, in my opinion.

Ok Triple H vs. HBK now goes down in my book as one of the best matches of 2003, that was great, its been a while since there has been a Raw main event that lasted over 30min. great match.
