That young up and comer John Cena looks promising I'd argue Kofi is booked pretty well on RAW, but he's the only one I could come up with. I suppose you could argue Santino, but he's not a normal wrestler. Possibly Mark Henry as well, he's as over as he's ever been.

Someone tell me a midcarder on Raw that is booked decently? That young up and comer John Cena looks promising I'd argue Kofi is booked pretty well on RAW, but he's the only one I could come up with. I suppose you could argue Santino, but he's not a normal wrestler. Santino rarely wrestles so I don't think we can count him he's not going to headline a PPV one day, like Hornswoggle. Kofi is decently booked but I don't think the WWE views him as a future maineventer though...

Show and Jericho are Main Eventers in the larger scheme of things.

Henry is treading the line he got that big pop for being anything new when he came over got to pin Orton.. Then he gets a count out over Cody which is just dumb...has his match with Carlito of all people go nearly 8 minutes and then dances with swoggle... They've done a good job of taking his big killing monster appeal right away.

JBL and Punk were booked pretty good on RAW I'd argue with that...Punk was the champion and wrestling the top of the hour match..he was almost like an afterthought champion. His Smackdown run has been so much better....

JBL and Punk were booked pretty good on RAW I agree. But I think they/we are talking about currently.

JBL was more main-event, he had a long World Title run.
Punk on RAW, despite having a title run, was treated as an afterthought. Worst title run since Rey,

hes a joke a lowercard joke nothing more. He could be something more if he was booked decently. But we can't expect you to grasp that point. no i can grasp the point for f***s sake but the man has always been a joke even on your beloved smackdown where he lost quickly to the boogeyman was that a burial? should smackdown be barred from having midcarders? at this point hhh could beat gillberg and it would be called a burial.

I remember when Steve Austin was a joke called the Ringmaster, or the Rock was playing this total joke ass character of Rocky Maivia with a huge chia head hair style.. Guess those guys were jokes and always going to be jokes right?

I haven't said anything about Smackdown. I don't even get the channel it's on. What the heck would be the point of having HHH beat Gillberg?

Quick question since I don't wanna start a thread about it Did they continue the MVP/Swagger feud on RAW? Swagger beat Bourne and then I think MVP came out and ran him off or something, I wasn't paying close attention at the time.

Gee, getting over in a feud where you can actually win matches vs a feud where you win NONE? What a surprise! Seriously, Miz was given nothing to work with and it will take a long, long time to take him seriously again. People's reactions in this thread (and to an extent, in the crwods) are indicative of how Miz's RAW push FAILED. The push flopped right out of the gate! Being a continuous thorn in the side of a main eventer is a free ticket. But the crowd was uninterested even when he was on that stupid "Miz = 1, Cena = 0" routine. Hell, just the other week, he straight up clowned the President of the United States and GOT NO SOLD. Even as bad as the E's booking is, how can you blame them for that? I don't remember any significant amount of people saying that The Miz was gonna be special. Unless you're talking solely about the WrestleCrap forums, which is kinda tunnel-visioned. Santino.

But that is you constant argument, everyone on Raw is a joke so they should lose. Well you know there have been some really outstanding talents that were once booked as jokes. One of the spirit squad members who you railed upon in the other thread has a push on Smackdown right now...but he was just destined to always be a joke right? Your defense of that booking in this manner is extremely short sighted.
