*************SPOILERS******************
As most of us know now, even if we didnt want to...the draft pick was Kurt Angle.
I have to say i loved the 'Wooooo!' battle between Kurt and Ric Flair!
Best bit of comedy on RAW in aaaages! Every time i watch it i crack up laughing!
I actually liked the final segment even though it did have Triple H talking. A few matches made for next week and Vengeance. Shaping up to be good. (Not as good as ECW though!)
Should be a better PPV with another belt on the line with the Triple Threat Match for the WWE Championship. Could be a doorway for the title to go back to Smackdown? Who knows.
Any other comments?

Heh thought it was rubbish myself apart from the hilarious Michaels bit. Those crap first 2 weeks were bearable after the golden 2 weeks Michaels has given.
The invitational idea is just horrible and really needs to be done away with, i understand it's because of Angle's neck and everything but it really doesn't help anyone. How fat has Tatanka got though? Makes Animal look in shape. Not so much dances with wolves but more like dances with buffet table
Nice to see Benjamin only botch once this week compared to his usual 3 or 4. Turn the X Division off lad, it's giving you too many ideas above your abilities.
Conway vs Venis was DEAD. Was funny to see the people in the crowd just sat with their hands on their chin waiting for it to end. Also looks like that Conway while not content with stealing Buff Bagwell's gimmick has been rummaging through the old attire and managed to find him a pair of Chyna's pants she used to wear. I swear they're exactly the same.
So they finally let everyone without access to the internet in on the whole Hardy's been signed thing. Shame they've absolutely killed the angle and made it so barely anyone cares anymore. Ah well enjoy the lower card/jobbing out role Hardy you'll be going back to once the feud is over.
Jericho promo was rubbish and Stone Clone Cena jumping in and getting held back by a bunch of security, hmmmm where we seen that before? Anyway Xavier saved that segment just by being there. Xavier >>>>>>>>>>>>>> Cena
Then i turned off at the Diva bit as i knew that and the main event would suck. Nice play on words though Vince, shame it just shows you up as starting to get worried about the competition and having to launch petty attacks.

Once again i thought RAW was good, although once again i expect no-one will agree.
Was good to see Matt Hardy back, and not getting arrested. Now as an official wrestler.
HBK's segment was quite funny, basically taking the p!ss out of Hogan.
Thought the Main Event was rubbish.
We are set up for the Eugene Invitational against Kurt Angle next week as its in Angles hometown, and i am pretty sure Angle can outlast 3 minutes in the ring with Eugene so he is set to get his medals back. I think its too quick if he does so, unless they come up with a way of Eugene keeping the medals, like a DQ again!
I thought the Big Show and Shelton Benjamin Vs Gene Snitsky and Chris Masters was a good match and i am liking Masters better as a singles competitor rather than his stupid Masterlock challnges.
Benjamin nearly fell over on his way into the ring but recovered well to make the boost look good.
So yeah, i thought RAW was good, bar the main event, which was just rubbish.

Yeah...that would have made more sense. I would like to see someone win the medals one day and then Kurt have a feud with them to try and get them back.

Although the logic was slightly dubious. If you were Stryker, wouldn't you have just rolled out of the ring with 9 seconds to go (about the time he took the low blow) and left the ref start the ten count, knowing he wouldn't get to 10 before the bell rung?

well said cong, i was amazed that led to a DQ as well. ridiculous.
RAW was utter cack this week, aside from the surprise ending and the hilarity of that bint falling on her ass.

Note to Vince: Can we decide which rules were actually supposed to be using please?

Now RAW has sucked for quite some time but my god Vince outdid himself this week, absolutely awful show and shows why the industry desperately needs some competition to this s**t.
Didn't realise i'd stepped back into my time portal to 1993 for a Michaels vs Hogan feud, Hogan couldn't put on a decent match then he sure as hell can't do one now. Obviously carrying on the Angle vs Michaels feud was going to put the possibility of an actual decent match dangerously high which we can't be having in the WWE can we Vince? Oh and also nice way to completely kill the momentum of your Intercontinental champ, great booking that you bunch of morons.
Diva boot camp - i won't even start as what i have to say will get me banned, get it and those daft bints off my tv now. However anyone else find it extremely convenient Hebner just happened to have a towel with him to hide Leyla's chest when she 'accidentally' popped out?
Absolutely crap wrestling matches, which if memory serves me right is actually what the WWE should be putting on being a wrestling promotion after all. How Viscera stays in employment while Charlie Haas is fired i'll never know.
Chavo's new gimmick. Ok Vince we get it, you think Americans are a bunch of racists, how many fricking gimmicks do we need? Nice way to offend another one of your audiences though, obviously trying to put yourself out of business.
Only thing that could have made this show any worse was a 20 minute HHH promo. And please Vince don't take that as an idea for next week

Grrr. The 2 or 3 RAWs leading up to Vengeance were great, but they've followed it with two utter stinkers.
I'm quite serious when I say I'd of been happy to see Triple H mark his return. The show needed it. Good points include the Heart Throbs destroying Viscera, Carlito and Angle's comments about Hogan's daughter (haha), the Edge/Kane tag was good, and HBK's turn. Highlight Reel was okay. That's about it.
The Diva Search, with the exception of 1 or 2 amusing segments, UTTERLY SUCKS. I simply cannot see why the hell they think half an hour of some lame bootcamp is gonna get ratings - if I wanna see fit, scantily clad women then I'll go on the internet thanks, where I can see a lot more too. Just give the prize to Ashley and finish with it.
Bad points of the show were therefore the actual main event match, because Carlito and Angle rock, the Diva search, Dupree vs Venis, and Chavo's horrifyingly sickening new 'gimmick'...why didn't he just stay on SmackDown ffs.
On an unrelated note, I have no respect for Hogan anymore. He's trying to make money out of the issue of his daughter's sexuality, and by producing a reality show where he interrogates some guy because his daughter isn't 'sexually active' then it's simply gonna make all us guys desperate to be the one who makes her 'active!' Pretty disgusting in my view, I'd never do such a thing to my daughter.

Raw was actually very poor this week. I'm quite confident the diva segment took up more show time than all of the wrestling put together. There were 4 matches, two of which were completely pitiful excuses for filling a time allotment. If you're going to have Viscera in a match, at least use him for what he does best... delivering high impact moves. Yes, he's pointless and can't take hits at all, but he's good at delivering slams. And making a fool of both himself and the scriptwriters...
Aside from the ending, which I thought was easily the best thing on the show (apart from maybe the rather humorous Kerwin White introduction or the two "divas" who completely embarrassed themselves - one by falling over on here entrance, and the other when her tats popped out :)), Raw was generally very poor. It'll be interesting to see what they do with the Shawn Michaels and Hulk Hogan storyline now. Hopefully they'll not be feuding for too long, though, as Hogan is well past it, regardless of how much of a pop he gets upon appearence.
I like Carlito and Angle, but they were both crushed by the two legends, which wasn't great. That match was so predictable it was unbelievable, but at least we got a good ending.
