I missed a week of shows. Sorry. I thought of posting my comments earlier today, then thought it would be silly, what with the new stuff tonight.

RAW is getting better as a show, and has been for weeks. Granted, with Smackdown! seeming to have imported the RAW writing staff and taking theirs, it isn't hard... but for a show with a less interesting talent roster to still be more entertaining overall, that says a lot!

I wasn't terribly impressed by the debut of John whazzisname, but he'll hopefully improve over more outings.

Cade and Jindrak getting more seasoning is a good thing... but I have to agree with Rick Scaia on this: they need actual personalities shown and more compelling storylines for us to care.

So the two Survivor teams are developing. For Austin we so far now have Booker T, RVD, and the Dudley Boyz. For Bishoff we have Jericho, Christian, Steiner and... Mark Henry? What... just because Albert is in the Smackdown! brand, we get his equivalent?
