Ok, I think I'm done with Raw (Spoliers)
I have always considered myself to be a passionate wrestling fan. Through it all, I've stayed with the product like a battered housewife hoping that things will get better. Tonight, I spent the night at a friend's as usual but instead played a combination of Guitar Hero, Monopoly and Scrabble instead of watching raw.
Time well spent, let me tell you. I don't get it. What does Cena/Federline accomplish? Unless they're gonna give Fed the belt? (Which would make most fans cringe and turn off the tv) Or unless Fed is gonna be a regular on the roster (Equally pointless when you consider how he's been built up) the result made no sense unless we're going to a dark place where no one wants to go. And how overbooked is Cena? Its bad enough that we've gotta see him, now let's make a habit of seeing him wrestle twice in a night (which was this week and 2 weeks prior I believe as well) In what world do the writers live in that Cena is cared about to the point where we all wanna see him wrestle a bunch of times a night? Dragging Flair into the RKO/DX feud is dumb as hell. Yeah they respected Flair blah blah blah, but he shouldn't be the thing that's kept the feud going fresh. The idea of respecting Flair goes against the whole premise of what DX is is supposed to be. I can rant forever about this. But I guess what I'm asking for besides the usual commenting is for someone to reassure and give me a damn reason to want to be at a friend's watching Raw Monday nights as opposed to work, or any other place I could be. Not to say that this is the beginning of the end, but SOMETHING has to change before Raw goes completely into the toilet and gets flushed. |

I am not really interested in fully reading that, though I did skim it...anyway, what ended up happening tonight with Cena/K-Fed?
P.S. Tovo and TNN (The Nash Nation) support no longer viewing RAW. It hasn't been worth watching since Diesel. ...oh and then again for a few months when Nash was back as the nWo pt Duex. ...Oh and then like 2 more months while he was carrying HHH to a fued so intense it had to be settled in HELL IN A CELL! ![]() Nash Rules. |

All you need to do is invite Kevin Nash into your heart as the savior of your enternal soul. Then you too will one day tear your quad while walking the streets of gold.

No I'm talking about the people in the Raw thread. If it ends up being a highly rated segment or show they've only got themselves to blame for adding to the total.

I think I'm gonna stop watching for a while. There truely wasn't one good thing to come out of Raw this week.
They had two weeks to book this shit, and months to build this K-Fed thing and it seemed like it was thought up 5 minutes before they went out there. Rob Conway gets fired? Since when did he matter enough for a match on Raw let alone a Vince face-to-face firing. Sunday is the Nitro/Hardy match yet there was no interaction between them at all. This was the worst Raw since I've been watching, and I think I've realised it's not getting better for a long time. |

I didn't read the full first post, but Federline/Cena was for ratings and ratings only.
However, I saw that and I just couldn't stand that shit. This was probably the worst RAW ever. There can never be a worse RAW than last night. It was so full of shit that didn't need to happen and void of shit that needed to happen. The only thing remotely good was the DX promo, and really, it wasn't that great. On a side note, Comcast decided to interrupt the Cena/K-Fed match with about a minute worth of local commercials. I found that funny, although they were more entertaining than the shitfest that match was. |

My watching has really declined as of late. Never thought it would happen but no way can I sit through the whole show. It's the same crap every week.

It's called media exposure. Yes, it's K-Fed, but it still gets them airtime on all of the Hollywood news shows and stuff of that nature.
It promotes WWE, it gives them exposure that they need right now. Doesn't mean it will change anything. Just be glad they didn't Arquette him. |

I don't get why you're bitching about respecting Flair. That's the least un-DX thing they've done.
Let's see. DX reformed, comprised of the son in law of the boss and a born-again Christian. DX proceeds to kill everyone, and I mean everyone. DX makes a few cock jokes, but does nothing risqué. Michaels especially. They're not even bucking authority these days. They're fighting with a couple of people with no ties beyond wanting to be the next generation. Respecting Flair is tantamount to a small infraction by a soulless corporate version of DX. If you got that far and were okay with it (Which I can understand; like 'em or not, they're the best thing on Raw...), Flair shouldn't phase you. |

I think the biggest problem with RAW is that it could be interesting, but the WWE is in "Cena/DX rox!" autopilot.

As stupid as K-Fed on RAW (or TV period) is, it made the local news on ABC 7 and channel 13 here in LA.
