Yeah, something along those lines.

Really play into an issue that fans are talking about and use it as a way to push some of that talent they've acquired off the independent circuit.

Use the Network to educate the audience, promote Main Event as a must-see show where a lot of big moments go down that fans have to subscribe to the Network to see live to be apart of the conversation and go from there.

It could be really messy but then again, most WWE programming always was. As long as you have the right players involved and you put enough thought into the money matches it'd pay off and probably help turn business around.

Again, I don't know if I would do the whole invasion storyline since so many companies have tried it these past few years and it always goes over like a popcorn fart but then it couldn't be any worse than the Authority angle.

I still don't know what their deal is at the moment.

I gotta admit, I marked the f*** out when Nash and Hall came down the ramp. Completely and utterly marked the f*** out

Both the invasion and authority thing has gotten old to me. It's like the authority figure thing has just become such a part of the program that they wouldn't know what to do without one.

Would love to see a strong stable though, one full of guys who are sort of hanging around that mid card but could break out given the right angle. Personally would love to see Barrett, Ambrose and Ziggler as a stable or at least the start of one. The Bad News thing Barrett does would work great in a stable, Ziggler is a natural heel and Ambrose given free reign on the mic would be must see programming.

On a side note, is it just me or does the main event scene feel really weak at the moment despite the mid-upper mid card looking stronger than ever?

Cena, Orton, Lesnar (part time), Reigns. Really, who else?

There's a ton of guys who "could" break out or look like they're about to (Rollins, Ambrose, Wyatt) but as we know those pushes can die very quickly in the WWE. Guys like Kane, Jericho could be thrown in there, but sadly we know they're only going to be there to either fill a void or put someone else over.

They're in a real transitional phase with Punk gone, Bryan injured and Brock merely part time.

Batista is likely to return once the Guardian of the Galaxy Press Tour is over and I'm sure the likes of Rollins, Reigns, Bray, Cesaro etc. will graduate into those roles.

As it always has been, the writing has just been so below what it should be right now. When they put more effort into Steph v Brie than any other program, you know they've got their priorities mismanaged.

Jericho v Bray is the best example of this.

It's almost as if somebody told Vince that it's a match that sells itself.

Vince said great and moved onto what his daughter was doing.

It's basically been babyface v heel week after week with Jericho basically rambling on about how crazy he can be and if Bray wants him to get nuts, he'll get nuts while Bray admonishes him for calling himself a saviour back in 2007.

That's like...one week of promos at best. They needed something more personal to feud over to get fans interested.

It was good to see Scott Hall in good health.

I remember watching an ESPN story on him a few years back and he was an abosolute mess.

He and Jake Roberts owe so much to DDP for turning there lives around

Wow Raw has taken a swan dive the last few weeks. Thought it started well with the idea hanging over that it might be someone else instead of Cena but then when they turned it into a 6 MAN TAG i looked at my floor and sad drool fell from my mouth. Then the ridiculous Bella stuff which no-one cares about and chanted boring through and whats worse they're sticking the bellas in with AJ and Paige who seemed to be having a half decent feud. And why oh why have they started giving up the same matches on 2 month long schedules?? Hurry back the Ambrose!

Also less and less Lana on the mic not good and please more Bo. His segment was the one good on RAW and i also found Miz and Damien Miztow somewhat amusing.

tbh, it is more Stephanie, and the recent 'additions' of Paige and AJ to it that has kept me interested... They are the two worst speakers in the WWE. And it had such promise when Nikki first turned, but it fizzled out, due to the terrible acting.

Well they are female wrestlers... but the story itself has been interesting. I have no doubt this will end up like the Hardy brothers fued, and before you know it they'll be best friends again.

So you read the article about how they only did it for Total Divas and they have advertised them being friends already on other platforms?

The story is boring, the Bella twins are boring, boring.

Being a woman wrestler has nothing to do with it. They are just shit at acting.
