As awesome as the show was (and it was very much that) can somebody PLEASE explain to me the logic of the booking with Legacy?? If the writing team is trying to paint Legacy as the Horsemen to Orton's Flair (which, I think, is a fair comparison) they CONTINUE to do a pisspoor job of it. The Manu/Kofi match bugged me for this very reason...given the history there (Kofi's involvement with Punk, the Tag Titles, Punk's beefs with Orton/Legacy) would it have not made sense to have Legacy at some point do the run in...maybe have Orton come out and tease the Punt of Doom before Punk (or Cena..or whoever) clears the ring?? But, no, instead we have Manu (who would apparently, based on his body structure, be the groups' default Enforcer) lose clean to Kofi...what purpose did that serve other than getting them another on camera heat crushing verbal bashing from Orton?? What's the deal? 'Cause I don't get it.... Manu sucks, isn't over, and doesn't really fit in so I think this is their way to get him out of the group and replace him with Snuka Jr. I love Orton, Rhodes, and Dibiase.... and think I could really like Snuka Jr. (at least a hell of a lot more than Manu since I'm so apathetic about that guy). If they make the switch this faction will be perfect.

If they make the switch this faction will be perfect. I think "sucks" is a bit strong, but Sim Snuka is a more talented wrestler. He looks more like what I think the muscle of the group should look like. Maybe Manu will side with DiBiase when he gets back, or will team with Umaga or Sim as a new Samoan team. I am a sucker for Samoan style tagteams.

raw was awesome. good matches, good booking, good promos, good crowd. everything you want in a show was there. hopefully this'll continue in the new year, because if it's like this in the run up to wrestlemania, i can see this being an awesome time to be a fan. or a WWE universian, whatever.

I hope when DiBiase comes back they don't do a revenge angle. I can't see that fitting in or going over well.
