Some Early Raw thoughts ... by the by ...

According to my good friend (well ... guy I'm a fan of lol) Jason Powell over at http://www.prowrestling.net, and wwe.com, three matches thus far have been advertised for Raw tonight:

Kelly Kelly vs. Women's Champion Beth Phoenix
Evan Bourne vs. Kane
Cryme Tyme vs. The Miz and John Morrison

I echo Powell's question: if you were hitting a milestone like ep. 800, coming off of some dismal ratings last week, with Jericho-Michaels to pimp out for No Mercy coming up, and a lot of longtime big names who haven't been on screen or at least wrestling in awhile (Vince McMahon, John Cena, Randy Orton from a wrestling standpoint), are these the three matches we should hype? I'd be pimping out at least one appearance by one of the above, if not Steve Austin or someone. Even Honky Tonk Man to respond to Santino's Honky-metre would be fun.

Sigh ... WWE needs to go back to booking school. Oh well - at least they'd still get better grades than TNA, with two big returns/arrivals (Jeff Jarrett and Mick Foley) arriving unadvertised last week, and their habits of late to begin their second hour - a transition crucial to catching casual, channel-surfing tube watchers - with a commercial break. When promoters and bookers complain fans don't understand how complicated it is to run a wrestling company, they may be right ... but clearly, neither do they. Sigh ...
