Yet again, RAW had some great bits - but the booker kept messing them up with what I see as bad choices.


First the good: the storyline for Victoria is developing in very interesting ways. That she supposedly knows Trish Stratus, and has her reasons to want revenge, lead some intrigue to the idea.


Having Al Snow come to RAW is interesting. That Batista / Leviathan is coming here too, complete with video packages, means he'll be getting an actual singles push.


The TLC match was a definite high point. These 7 guys worked their tails off to give us an exciting match with lots of cool spots and drama.


Too bad they chose to spoil it with a pointless story bit. Kane is allegedly a murderer now? In what way will this add anything to the World title match at No Mercy? How does an element that darkens the face make him cheer-worthy?


This came on the heels of some really bad matches. Starting with a cage match was cool. Too bad the cage had to include The Big Show. Too bad a blindfold match was still as bad as what I remember from Wrestlemania many years ago. Too bad Goldust and Regal were given as forgettable a match as one in drag.


These holes proved how bad the wheel-chosen stipulations matches can be - and that yet again the writers for RAW can't write good stuff.
