Raw May 3, 2004
#1
Another very good show, in a long stream of good raw shows. Remember when this was considered the bad show????? The 6 man tag to start the show was pretty good. Even Batista looked ok. HHH has really stepped up his ring work since before WM, he's almost like the wrestler of old.

The Hurricane/Kane match was totally uselesss. When are they going to realize that hurricane would be better off on smackdown where he could wrestle other lightweights? The Matt Hardy/Kane/Lita thing could be interesting, if the whole, girl turns bad thing wouldn't have been done by trish already. You could actually believe that she would want to screw over matt after what he did to her, but her being only the 2nd female face on the show precludes that from happening. And from hearing the rumors that this is only setting up the eventual return of Jeff Hardy, I hope it works. They could be a big shot in the arm to the tag team division.

Jericho seriously needs some backup. He's getting his ass handed to him by 3 people every other week and it's just pathetic. The only problem is, who could it be? Steiner....blah...Test...blah once again. There's no one around for him, so he's gets to be the bitch I guess.

Gail Kim is worse as she was when she first started, which is kind of fucking amazing being that she's sucked from the get-go. How you can fall 3 times before being hit is amazing....absolutely amazing. I haven't seen this many blown spots since Jackie Gayda's first match. And Victoria was so much better when she was crazy, instead of now and her "kissing babies" stage.

It's a shame Dismore got stuck with this Eugene character because he can flat out wrestle...he did it in OVW and he can do it here if given the chance. The scary thing is, Eugene is HUGELY OVER with the crowd, so maybe they know what they are doing with him. And Regal is the king of the facial expressions. Hands-down

The title match was nothing short of PPV quality. Back and forth, some blood and HHH screwing shawn yet again, for the title. I see a Benoit/Christian title match for the next PPV co-headlining with a HHH/HBK match to settle the score once and for all. Add that to a Benjamin or Edge/Orton match, Tomko/Jericho, some sort of Eugene match, The Hardyz/Kane and that ppv blows away anything that smackdown could even think of producing and it's not even a big 4 PPV. OH and kiddies, get ready for HHH/Benoit at SummerSlam.

P.S. Next weeks raw looks solid....Edge/Orton....HHH/Benjamin III....Batista/Tajiri...Jericho/Christian in a cage. Very hot show possible

I don't know. Even though I've stopped watching for the time being, due to the fact I think the current product sucks, I still read the results. I've yet to read anything of interest though that would bring me back.

I'm waiting for that "big surprise" that everyone hopes will truly shake up the current situation, but until it happens I guess I'm remaining on my break from the WWE.

I am looking forward to the beginning of June though. Apparantly Jeff Jarrett and NWA-TNA have finally signed a TV deal with FOX Sports. That would be cool to finally see and it might be the kick in the ass that the WWE needs to break out of these doldrums.

TNA??????? Christ if you think HHH is bad with his politics, he is nothing like jerry and Jeff Jarrett. Jarrett has gone over everyone in tna's short time so there is no drama left anymore. Let alone the fact that the television product looks like something my grade school used to put out. One thing of interest, they recently bought a 6 sided ring, which should be curious to see how it will and can be used. Other than that, they've got nothing going.

Of course he's gone over, he owns it. Nice to be the boss sometimes. Or in HHH's case nice to be the boss' son in law...

Oh, I don't deny that the Jarrett's are just as bad, if not worse than HHH when it comes to politics. All I'm saying is I'm looking forward to actually getting to see it for once.
I'm tired of the current WWE product and this looks like a fresh change. Of course I'll probably get bored of NWA-TNA after a while, but at least it will be something different and if it somehow starts taking viewers away from Vince's product, then maybe he'll finally wake up and shake things up in the WWE. I didn't believe it when WCW was around considering how piss poor that fed was towards the end, but competition really did make things better for pro wrestling. Hopefully this new TV deal does the same.

the only thing tna has got going for it
is the fact that its a nice change from the
wwe crap which really is the only game in town. i remember when it was the smaller promotions which were the hot ticket to see the old mid south promotion, world class promotion with von erichs, freebirds etc even the memphis promotion when lawler was king especially with guys like eddie gilbert etc
right now wrestling is at an all time low thanks to vince.
and jarretts tna promotion ain't going to draw flies.you can't promote what really is a southern promotion anywhere but in the south. jarrett as a main eventer
week after week give me a break
