RAW just passed, and all I can think: what garbage.


Since when does a bra and panties match have pinfalls too? Extremely sloppy booking.


Plus, ending with the Undertaker turning heel - again - what does that add to storylines? Nothing at all.


It just seems to be getting worse and worse, doesn't it?

I missed Smackdown! this week. I was with family in Vermont for Thanksgiving, and chose to see Harry Potter instead. I got enough from the spoilers to get an idea what I missed, stuff I understand wasn't very good.


Something I read online got me to thinking about Vince's new direction for the WWF though, the brilliant idea to 'save the company':


A feud between Steve Austin and Vince McMahon. Again.


Hmmm... supposedly, Triple-H is upset with the current direction of storylines. Fans are very upset, and the ratings are showing it. No Vince ratings aren't lower because less homes have access to TNN. Sept. 11th isn't the reason for a downturn in business. To listen to you, creative direction has nothing to do with the current downturn. Only your wife Linda will admit that fact.


Now comes the move to fix things: another iteration of the same feud we've seen for over 5 years now. No new ideas. No new creative directions. Just more rehashing.


Pure and simple, Vince doesn't 'Get it'.
