Aug. 24th Raw Commentary

[vegas vinn]

- Glad to see Orton is still champ. Let's just hope he defends his next match against someone other than HHH and Cena.

- Vinnie Mac is out early, should be a good Raw.

- So much for that, Orton vs Cena for the next submission PPV.

[vegas vinn]

- I'm glad this is on a wrestling program, this McMahon birthday party <sarcasm>

- Thats 30 mins of my life I will never get back!

- When did Triple H begin to have the authority to make matches on Raw? And how can you have Vinnie Mac ally up with DX after all of that crap? The storylines are really getting ridiculous on Raw!

[vegas vinn]

- With about 1 hour into it, we had 1 match? And the Miz won quick. What is the WWE thinking? The only excuse that I can come up with is that Mayweather was late?!?!?! Other than that, what was the point?

[Bekirk302]

I really think the WWE has way too many wrestlers under contract and think it would be best to release a bunch of them and focus on long term story lines

[vegas vinn]

If they have "too many" wrestlers, why is it we only seen 2 matches tonight so far, and instead, watched almost a third of the program profiling DX. If you have lots of wrestlers, USE THEM!

- That tag match between Jericho and Big Show vs Mark Henry/MVP was slow and horrible. I'm really contemplating on shutting off this program for tonight.

[Bekirk302]

It must be bad if you have almost nothing to comment on.

[vegas vinn]

Yeah, I'm taking the rest of the night off. I've never been so pissed in my life with respect to a Raw episode!

Jeremy Borash, who is an announcer/interviewer for TNA, made the following comment on a tweet regarding the new DVD "Death of WCW": "The Death of WCW commercial followed by a Hornswoggle vs. Chavo (Guerrero) boxing match? Pot? Kettle?"

I couldn't have said it better myself. Raw was a joke!

[Bekirk302]

The WWE needs to have competition! There is no reason for them to put a quality product on tv right now. TNA needs to get rid of the old geezers like sting, steiner, Nash, Jarrett( I know it wont happen) and really push some young talent!

[vegas vinn]

Unfortunately, it looks like the WWE is starting to steal some of ROH's talent too.

[Bekirk302]

Who? Have you heard any news of signings? I'd really enjoy Kenta in the WWE. He reminds me of Tajiri without the 'stupid japanese' spin.

[vegas vinn]

Brian Danielson was definitely signed. I think it might have been to one of their developmental federations. But with the number of injuries, and the WWE trying to build up new characters, he may be on sooner than later.

No other names have been confirmed, but rumors state that the WWE was looking at 4 or 5 names. Also interesting to note is that ROH caught the WWE's attention since it was also on Monday Night.
