Well first off, onto matters to do with The King and J.R. and the RAW commentary post. It was inevitable they'd get the job back, but what the hell was the point in the match at Unforgiven if everything is being changed back so soon... already they're back as RAW's announcers! I have no problem with this, as I prefer the duo to Coach and Snow, but really, what the hell was the point???
Also, they're so clearly clueless as to what to do with Rob Van Dam. Sure, I'm looking forward to him vs Christian in a Ladder Match, but does Van Dam really need the Intercontinental Championship? Answer: no. They just don't have a clue what else to do with him.
Mark Henry attacking Shawn Michaels and vowing to get Goldberg? Really, what in the hell are they trying to achieve with this utter atrocity?
RAW = plotline collapse.
Which also means: RAW = disaster.

Hurricane Vs. Kane
This week's RAW is one of the best in a while.

Oh, and no spoilers or anything, but Smackdown is pretty damn good this week.
Heh, I actually think Mark Henry looks okay, although I prefer the thuggin' and buggin' Rodney Mack.
It's no surprise they don't know what to do with RVD - he DOES NOT draw ratings. The end of RAW this week drew the lowest overrun rating for many months - whereas guys like Kane, Goldberg, HHH and Jericho drew the fans in, which means more money for the WWE.
Yeah the match was good, but they can't push RVD when he doesn't interest the crowds - and that's because he doesn't have a personality. Give me Kane instead anyday - his promo and match were great.

It's very simple - give the guy a mouthpiece, for God's sakes. While he could definitely cut promos in ECW, I understand that they aren't WWE-style. So, either just give RVD the chance to talk more often (without people like Trips shouting him down at every opportunity and completely failing to put him over) or get someone in as manager. RVD needs the personality enforced, I'll agree, but WWE cannot expect the personality to get to the fans if they aren't willing to give Van Dam a bigger chance to speak. Paul Heyman is the best guy for the job, really - RVD's amazing wrestling ability combined with Heyman's powers to get just about anyone over would make RVD the title contender he's waitnig to be.

Why oh why did Kane vs. Hurricane last all of 2 minutes. I'd love to see Shane Helms go heel (not remove the mask like Kane did, just go heel) and team with Kane for a long time again. It'd be like Kane and X-Pac (my other favourite wrestler :cD) all over again. I'd love that.
But they need to give Hurricane more time, instead of the crappy in ring promos.

Haha that match was funny! Hurricane got WHOOPED!
Yeah, they done that to try and make Kane a bigger monster. In my opinion, it never worked. I love both these guys, so I was happy either way. But I'd have prefered it if Hurricane had stolen one or something. And come on, Hurricane should be an Upper Midcarder. Someone suggested putting Heyman with RVD and having them go heel. Hurricane could feud with RVD for the IC Title; he deserves it.
Why Hurricane never got tombstoned I don't know!
RVD turning heel would be a good idea for his character, as he plays the arrogant heel much better than the stoned 'new age' wrestler (Dude! etc), but first he needs the mojuthpiece to get his personality across - get the fans liking him, then when he's got a good following, turn him heel, thus guartaneeing a good degree of heat.
