Vince: "I tell the audience what they want. AND THEY LOVE IT!" *audience boos* Cena: "Hi!" *coughs* *audience blows the roof off* Is it just me, or does Cena spend more time standing around looking bemused while the crowds gush all over him than anyone else in wrestling history, with the exception of Hulk Hogan? He said, at the start of the contract signing, 'So-' and didn't get any further than that because people were losing their minds that he spoke.

In Kayfabe, no person should ever come out on top in a handicap match unless your name is Hulk Hogan and this is 1988. Or John Cena, circa 2005-06. And maybe Austin. If the WWE is supposedly the highest level of talent in any wrestling promotion in the world and the handicap opponents are the tag champs, the two guys in the entire promotion who work best as a team, there should be no rationale for them to not dominate. Period.

And from the way the night started, I thought they were about to make Rated RKO the new Two Man Power Trip. And why not? Take out Shawn Michaels, put him "on the shelf". Just let RKO run wild on Raw for months. Have Shawn eventually return and fight the good fight, maybe throw Cena in there to feud with Orton. Then just when all hope seems lost, TIME TO PLAY THE GAME hits, and the place goes insane.

I must say, outside of the Vince segment before Carlito showed up and the beginning where Cena took out both Umaga and Estrada; Raw was pretty good tonight. definitely a good main event with HBK getting a bit of revenge on Edge/Orton.

There's no way Vince would go for it.

I agree with Hour. There's no better time of the year to have heels dominate, making wrestlemania the big revenge/heels get their due show of the year.

Mcmahons promo was just stupid and odd as hell. Seriously, if you're gonna admit your mistake then admit it and give the fans something good. Don't give us FREAKING KHALI Some of us FREAKING want Khali.

yep, VERY strange show.
I kinnda got the impression that Vince purposely gave us as little as we'd want to see as possible.

Glad I missed it. I don't need to watch a second major wrestling company go down the tubes.
