OK, I have to agree with Online Onslaught's Rick Scaia here: this week's Smackdown! was far more entertaining than Unforgiven hopes to be - and it was free (well, you're paying for cable, but not an extra $35 for it too).

The Ironman bout between Kurt Angle and Brock Lesnar for the WWE title was almost impossible to describe in words. Many near falls, a tremendous amount of ring work... this was what the Ironman between Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels at Wrestlemania 12 should have been... exciting rather than a snoozefest.

I was a bit concerned by some of the results from RAW this week.

Generally, the guys who'll lose at the PPV win at the show before it. This is to make them seem going into the event.

So, Al Snow lost to Jerry Lawler. I'm hoping this doesn't mean that he and Coach will win. Yes, RAW needs a change, but Al and Coach aren't it. Every time he's taken over as co-commentator before, it's just made us all miss Jim Ross even more. Why they'd think they could improve the product by making it worse is beyond me.

More disturbing was that Goldberg dominated Triple H. Fans are tired of H as champion. I have to agree that in large part he's made the product stale for a while now. A win for him here could sound the death knell for RAW.

I'll only know the results from Unforgiven online. I have a wedding to attend that evening, and it takes precedence.

I finally got the publishng bugs fixed on this blog, so you can read what I've been posting for the past week!
