Well, having just watched a RAW that had me as entertained as any of '98, something is different.
Three to four weeks ago we saw Pat Patterson voice his opionion on the state of RAW, and then resigned. Everyone in the company knew that was a major blow to management. Today we all heard of the releases of Test, A-Train and Billy Gunn. Tonight, we watched Edge turn into the mega-heel that we knew he could be, but was lacking and seemingly in limbo for the past two years. Also tonight, we seen new debuts on RAW and they both entertained, and shocked us. We also seen a glimpse of the super-bitch that Trish can be, and entertaining as well. And to top of this bizzare RAW, we were treated to somewhat of a surprise ending. As in, we don't see that often. Vince sat by and watched his self-built ship sink before his eyes, as he seemed to effortlessly try to save it. Even though this was only one RAW, I ask the question; Can Vince do it again? RAW created a spark tonight, in my opinion. Can they pull it together? |

MR. MARCUS
Yes, I think if they have what it takes, but it means being willing to take chances with certain people. Also, it means issuing an equally entertaining product on Smackdown. |

Edge's heel run may be key. It could be big. But its really up to edge honestly. He's set up to have a one on one with Benoit and the way things are going with Benoit. Edge will probably win. That could spell a future title run. Could be big. Then again. I thought Sean Ohaires gimmick would be big. Thx Creative writing team.

I like how they are taking a chance with Maven now. Ive been a fan of him and was sad to see his first push end with him being injured. Seeing him being pushed now makes me think there is hope and that they arent just gonna end this at the ppv.
Yes tonight was probably one of the best nights of Raw in a while. I cant wait to see if they can do it again. |

I thought Simon Dean was very insulting if those first two people he made fun of were not plants. People do not want to go to a wrestling show to be insulted in front of thousands of people and millions of people watching at home. I thought that was just fucking LOW.

also, give Maven a fucking chance. This is his first real time to shine, lets see if he can hang with the best.

I think Christian just brought in Viscera because Tomko was injured, and Christian wanted someone to destroy Shelton, but SB got the win. It would be interesting to know if the commentators made reference to Christian & Viscera's days being manipulated by The Undertaker as members of The Ministry of Darkness (I won't get to see RAW until later on tonight). |

However, it didn't make me hate Simon Dean. It just made me feel bad for those two fans, in case they did take the remarks personally. How embarrassing and hurtful would it be, being singled out at an event with thousands of people and being called fat. I bet it comletely ruined their night. To me, it is one thing to insult the entire crowd ... but it is entirely different thing to single out ONE or TWO fans, and start tearing them apart on live TV. Especially when those fans came to see a wrestling show and have a good time. Not to be mocked and made fun of. |

That's one of the problems with heels today. Most of the fans know that these guys aren't really bad guys out of the wrestling world, but when you do something like that, you kind of go, "That guy is a fuckin jerk." What that does is seperate the wrestling world from reality, which you don't get today.

What? No, what's wrong with heels today is they don't get real heat anymore. Some heels get cheered now and days. You know, Real heels aren't suppossed to be nice people. They're not suppossed to get cheers from the audience. They're not suppossed to make the audience laugh. It's always shit like " See that guy over there, he is just like every one of you stupid inbread red necks in this arena" That is played out now that it's just become a comedy act. With what Dean did was old school to the fullest. Pic one person out of the crowd and hit a vunerable spot. You ever see "Man of The Moon?" The Tonly Cliffton character? Now that's how you do it.
Maybe you didn't think he was a jerk, but you're not all those other people in that arena. The amount of heat he got after that segment was over just showed how great a heel he can be. If that was you he was ragging on, I don't know how you can't think he was a jerk. |

BTW: You have you're name is Mr. JL. I'm guessing you're an ECW mark right? Did you see the Dudleys back in their heel run? They insulted people in the crowd a lot worse then that, correct? So was that uncreative as well? Lot's of guys I know said thet's what they loved most about the Dudleys
