I'm not finding Charlie Haas entertaining at all

The crowd enjoyed Evan Bourne a lot

The Kane/Mysterio thing is so bad. So now Kane's mask is in it. I'm not following any of it

Jericho was good

Steel Cage match on Raw next week sounds good. But it doesn't really stop outside interference!
HBK or Orton to come out and spoil it.

I take it that the angle is that Kane wants to de-mask Mysterio?

woop dee doo! :rolleyes:

that happened years ago on wcw, i dont really care about this storyline at all!

I liked Charlito and Cena, but CHL wasn't that great at all. It was too hammy.

I must admit, i am kinda surprised that the crowd didn't pop for Kane's old mask. Isn't that what people have wanted for years? and when they get it they don't care?

Jericho was hilarious at the start! I was in tears laughing.

"What kinda man would do this to another human being?

Shawn Michaels, thats who!"

As if Jericho never meant any harm on Shawn in the first place. I love Jericho. Still think they're running the risk of spreading him to thin by having him involved with the World Title, too, though.

its that it took too long, now they just dont care about kane full stop! i kno i couldnt be bothered if he wore a mask or not! and the rey story;line is rediculous, rey comin out on raw and batterin kane before unforgiven was just laughable!

As grames_bond said no one really cares about Kane. Most of the crowd would likely not know what that mask was much like they had no idea who D-Lo was when he debut. A decent majority of the WWE's audience turns over every few years.

Spike440 · 09-09-2008 4:20pm

When did Kane drop the mask? It wasn't that long ago was it?

I turned it off after the women's match (which was atrociously bad which is unusual for those two). From looking at what happened afterwards it appears I made the right call.

Not really unless to were watching it live and needed the sleep of course. As the tag match was awesome.

Brolly · 09-09-2008 6:56pm

I enjoyed the ECW Scramble, Y2J v HBK and the ending to the Raw Scramble. It was an average PPV overall. The Taker/Show segment was a bit annoying. For a guy who destroyed Edge a few weeks ago, he was made to look very weak by Show.

As for Raw, meh! A few enjoyable bits but yet again nothing special. Smackdown is by far the better show right now in my opinion.

joe123 · 09-09-2008 8:28pm

Well i always sky + raw and usually end up forwarding through most of it but that tag match with evan bourne was one of the best ive seen in years.

Evan bourne stole the show I reckon. And that shooting star press was amazing....and how he didnt botch that hurricanerana over the top rope I dont know. I think most of the WWE anymore is pretty bad but there wasnt a dull moment in that tag match.

On a side note The big Show turning heel again seemed a bit stupid...and was cm punk injured before unforgiven in that he couldnt compete? I like jericho but cm punk has looked like a joke as a champion.

Machismo Fan · 09-09-2008 8:45pm

That womens match was horrible, they blew near every move and it looked awkward for the whole thing. That kind of reaction on Raw for Bourne will be very good for him and him and Mysterio stole the show.

I hope WWE moves Bourne to Raw and makes the team full time.

Smackdown needs more heels though

Randy Orton attacked him backstage and gave him a concussion. CM Punk was never meant to be a dominant champion, it doesnt fit his character or his true place on the card.

dlofnep · 09-09-2008 9:17pm

That Bourne guy looked very sharp.

On live TV too, no editing here. According to what I heard Bourne is contracted under his developmental contract meaning he is getting paid $500 a week basic (excluding what he gets on houseshows.) As you with that he has to pay all his travel expenses. Think about that.

Machismo Fan · 09-09-2008 9:54pm

Hopefully, that match will open their eyes to the fact that he is worth a fair bit more.

Yeah but that was in the script. What im wondering is did cm punk really get injured so that he couldnt compete and this "attack" was just to cover him or was it in the script all along for him not to defend his title?

What show does evan bourne wrestle in is it ECW?

He is on the ECW roster, but was put on raw as a 'talent exchange'

He's amazing, always has been since I first saw him around 2004-ish. He's so beautifully smooth and fluid in everything he does and he NEVER botches his spots. They should push him to the moon.

It was scripted

Can Bourne cut a promo? If he can he has a very nice future if not its mid card for life for him as their is many people who can jump very high in the air in WWE at the moment! Also a cage match with Punk and Jericho and nobody can get in? I assume that promise by Mike will not stop Cade, Michaels, Orton, Priceless,and the Samoan dude getting involved:rolleyes:

Promos were never his strength! Although he did improve a good bit by the time he last appeared in ROH
