WWE getting its act together? (spoilers)
Yeah.

What the heck?

I'm kinda shocked. First Triple H's performance last week, then JBL's last week, and now HHH's this time.

Wow. I had to recheck and make sure I was watching the WWE. This is massively better than the shit they've been doing.

“There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs.”

Yeah, I was pleasantly surprised as well, though I saw the "OMG HE'S IN THE HOTEL" angle coming a mile away...it was still kinda cool. Glad to see HHH helping to put up Benoit as a viable champion still. Very nice indeed.

HHH = Hunter Hurts Handicaps?

I think...Vince has managed to wake up, get his head out of HHH's ass and knows that TNA is just around the corner, waiting to buy him up. Which would be cool you know? TNA running the show, giving us a great wrestling product? Man would that be sweet!

yeah, HHH is slowly...slowly going back into my good graces. I could almost forgive him for that WMXIX crap...if he keeps on this track. Where was that HHH when he held the title for a year?

Especially since TNA's numbers are shit right? I'd love to see a company challenge the WWE, but face facts no one can right now.

Yeah, the Triple H segment was solid. This was the first time in a long time he came off as a grade-A bastard, and not in the "backstage cancer" sort of way.

RAW was pretty damn good last night... Almost every segment (Not count Divas) was pretty solid... I do believe that Vince has gotten his ass out of Trips' ass and has seen the light... And that light really sucked so he changed things...

HHH has improved significantly since WM 20. I still don't think he is as good as he was in 99-2000 but he is getting closer. Still won't forgive him for the crap he has pulled.

Lets not be too hasty here... while the main event segments have been nice, the rest hasn't been spectacular. However, it's nice to have some spontaneity. I still have my doubts as to whether this "improved" HHH will last, or whether it's just time bided until he hogs the belt again, but I hope it does.

Frankly, I'd rather be wrong about him all long than be right. At least that way, we know he wasn't trying to hurt the business.

What's great about being pessimistic is, you're always either right or pleasantly surprised.

Giving some glorified stripper 250 grand for nothing when some of your best workers don't make that in a year tells me they are far from getting their act together.

Well, the show has gone from total shit to partial shit. That's still a HUGE improvement.

Come on, Rob. If they paid people what they were worth, THEN THE TERRORISTS WILL WIN!!!!!



Seriously though. I don't think the show's perfect or anything, but it went from the point where I couldn't pay attention to it for more than 3 minutes at a time, to a point where there was something interesting on. It is a pretty major improvement.

Granted, it's still an improvement from shit to less shit, but still.

Watch the beginning of the main event over again...

That wasn't Benoit who came out to the ring and challenged HHH and Orton. That was SCSA dressed to look like Benoit.

I loved the Triple H thing on the last raw I saw (last weeks ) cause he seemed to be a rising midcard in my eyes, and it looked classic 98 HHH to me
