Just a thought after last night's Raw...
Well, after last night's Raw and the Edge/Hardy match up...

For some reason, it looks like WWE is finally getting some pressure on them to put out a better product. I mean, no company esp WWE wants to see their channel advertise an alternative product during their show. It seems like WWE is trying to completely squash any chance of TNA having success....and as of right now from what it looks like....they're already doing so by putting out a somewhat decent product as of last night. Clearly IMO the Hardy Edge match up was as crazy as it was because they wanted to sorta throw a message like "We're so great just look at this match, TNA sucks don't even waste your time."

Whatever, just my two cents.

What do you all have to say about it? Agree? Disagree?

Note: This isn't a thread about how shitty or great TNA is...just about pressure on WWE due to the commercials.

I AM PABLO.

I think that match had nothing to do with sending a message about another wrestling promotion especially since Vince had no idea TNA ads were going to play during RAW.

I think the match was just about Two people beating the hell out of each other.

that match or show for that matter had nothing to do with the ad

Backing them strong? Makes sense. They're on in primetime, after all.

You'd be on the right track... but then they had Chris Masters main event.

Who's Andrew Walters? A guy who was such a fan of Andrew Martin that he changed his first name so it was the same?



BTW, I wouldn't be opposed to seeing Test back in WWE. It would certainly make things easier on me.

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.
