This week's WWF RAW, in my opinion, had many flaws, and it set up another dig at making Survivor Series just another PPV, instead of one of the 'Big Four'.


First, if my counter was right, this was the first time that RAW actually ran under two hours in length. If I calculated right, it was at least 10 minutes shorter than it should be - in other words, not counting an over-run.


Secondly, there was a lack of storyline continuity. On Sunday Night Heat, we were introduced to a new character, K-Quick (is this K-Krush? I've heard the name for awhile in the sheets, but never saw him, so I'm not sure) in an annoying skit as Road Dogg's new rap parter. At the end of the show, Jesse told him to bring his gear to RAW, leading us to expect the guy to have a match on the show.


Instead, Road Dogg had a singles match against William Regal - a match that was interrupted by K-Quick to re-do that rapping skit. We do have memories longer than a day, Vince.


Finally, the line-up for Survivor Series was nailed down during the show; only one match is actually a Survivor one. This is the whole point of the PPV; instead, we have the same sort of one-on-one feud matches we see on any other PPV. It isn't special in the least.


Color me unimpressed.
