Did Vince really think the DRAFT would make Raw better?
Hey Guys, i haven't written for a while but theirs a few things i wanna get off my chest concerning WWE's flagship broadcast Monday Night Raw.
I read on all wrestling websites before the WWE draft was made that Vince McMahon was hell bent on making Monday Night Raw his No1 show, he wanted to make Raw a must watch show every week and sadly after the draft i can guarentee you Vince is kicking himself as it has led to major disappointment.
Chris Jericho was moved over to Smackdown and wow how good has Jericho been on Friday Night's, Smackdown is without a doubt the show that gained from the draft and for me it is a must watch show ever Friday's especially if Jericho is on the broadcast, Shawn Michaels, i know he has his religious believes in all but he should have been the man who moved to Smackdown and work Tuesday night's not Chris Jericho, when Shawn Michaels returns to Raw he is just coming back into a show to feud with the same superstars he has feuded with constantly on that show for the past 7 years.
The Undertaker, the dead man stays on Smackdown for the 7th year in a Row, now if Vince wanted to make Raw his No1 Show then Undertaker should have been the man drafted to Raw, it is pretty clear that WWE'S top 2 superstars who are over with the audience are John Cena then The Undertaker, Jeff Hardy is closing in though don't get me wrong but if Undertaker was drafted we could have saw him feud with John Cena thats something we haven't see since Taker returned with his dead man persona, Vince has basically bottled it with not having these two on the same show.
If we look at Raw and we list the 5 top superstars we have John Cena, Batista, Triple H, HBK, Randy Orton, now list these superstars and put them into feuds, it is feuds we have seen time and time again on Raw, the only feud i would be interested in seeing again here out these superstars would be Triple H and Shawn Michaels, but we know for sure we aren't going to see that happen in a long time as their is UK DX invasion tour in November.
Batista for me looks slow and sluggish in the ring , if WWE wants to make Raw more interesting why not turn the Animal HEEL and bring a bit of anger and rage about his persona instead of all this huggy huggy segments he has with Ric Flair.
For me Shawn Michaels is going to return and enter a feud on Raw with someone he's probably worked a program with many times before in his 7 years stay on Raw, again i do not feel that HBK will make Raw better.
Triple H is another who will not help out the broadcast, he will go straight back into the title picture again and Raw will have his face all over it.
So to be blunt, Raw for me did not deliver in the draft and for the time being ill be watching the 'A' show in the WWE on Friday Night's, Guys like Jeff Hardy, Edge, Chris Jericho, The Undertaker, Rey Mysterio, CM Punk and the upcoming star John Morrison, look at all these names folks and imagine them on Raw, dont you thing Raw would be so much better?, i certainly do!
Triple H returned on Raw, do we really need to see Triple H and Randy Orton feud again, we have saw it too many times and their is really nothing else creative can do, apart from maybe putting them in a Hell in a Cell match, last night's Raw ending was just the same as a Raw ending leading up to Wrestlemania.
