I think it's funny that people are expecting C&M to beat one of the biggest stars in the history of the business, arguably in his prime. Oh, they're the tag team champions? So what? If any two of us debuted on RAW, we'd probably walk out with the straps. Those things are completely meaningless and have been for a very long time. What have C&M ever done to deserve a victory over Trips? Gotta love that statement. The belts are useless, so lets do our best to make them even look worse. Brilliant booking from this guy. Triple H is in his prime? You wanna see prime look at anything before 2001. And really, either of those guys SHOULDN'T be on par with Triple H, but the combination of both of them should've given Triple H more problem than they did.

It doesn't matter. Either way, RAW will go on. It will continue to go however it will go and the only way we can change that is for millions to stop watching, en masse, and that will never happen. The way things are going, things will likely not change for quite a while. Get used to it, or stop watching. If you don't like seeing the tag division getting buried, or your favorite stars being squashed week after week, then turn it off and stay out of WWE-Current. For every one of you who hates it, there are two more fans to replace you. I hate to put it so bluntly like that, but it's what all the whiners need to hear. Either stay, or go. Make the decision. Saying "there will be two to replace you" is really over-estimating WWE's current drawing power.

Well...since tonight was the night that I saw what the WWE seems to think is a "good" way to book Triple H, I'll probably switch the channel whenever he's on. See...there's option three. Watch the rest and switch when you see something you don't like.

It's funny how desperate people are to rip on HHH. He beat the freaking tag champions. Many people want to see a competitive, exciting tag division, and the only way to do that is to book the tag champions, and the division, to look competitive and interesting. They did the exact opposite here. The people who want exciting tag matches are, not surprisingly, upset.

Not that it'll buy you a Klondike bar or anything, but hey, it's good either way, right?

It's funny how desperate people are to rip on HHH. So it's okay for someone to single handedly dispose of the tag champs, another young guy, and the challengers to the tag titles in all one fell swoop?

Until the 'E starts taking a nosedive in profits, I don't think it matters much either way. It's all about the money, that's it. Even if only one fan is replacing another, it's still a fan that is there.

honestly, i havent seen raw in over three months and the reviews from this forum doesnt have me in a big hurry to get cable back anytime soon. the worst part is that i dont even feel that bad about missing wrestling lately whereas back in the day if i missed raw or nitro, it ruined my week. and if you want to know why i dont care, here it is. triple h is back to being triple h again. humiliating five guys for your own amusement when its leading to absolutely nothing is just bad business sense, it makes for bad television, and it really helps no one. if you doubt me, as you're self, where are the spirit squad these days? getting buried by triple h really did wonders for there careers, didnt it?

I love how there are about 4 guys who, no matter what you put in their way, they over come every f***ing obstacle.
And due to that, they're popular and the undercard has absolutely no use.
For those saying, "it doesn't matter" yes it does because you're being even more credibility to guys who don't need the rub and taking it away from the people who desperately get lost in the shuffle every single week and sometimes not at all.

I remember the days when the Rock got his ass handed to him when he faced the Dudleyz. That's how you book a tag team, strength in numbers.

By the way...
I may wake up screaming "SPINEBUSTER!!!" in the morning. Haha...sigh.
Thank goodness for Jim Duggan, Hornswoggle, and the great Jeff Hardy/Shelton Benjamin match to open the show.

However, when your division is 2 or 3 teams (are the Highlanders still employed?) and they are given this treatment 3 times or so a year, why expect anything better? It just seems like you'd be setting yourself up for a bad fall.

Then let the WWE wither up and die. Then we'll just have to tune in elsewhere and bitch about the mistakes of the next company in line.
