Smackdown! was a bit disappointing again last night.

Rob Van Dam's torn ACL guaranteed that he and Rey would lose the tag titles - but of the 3 other teams, the one least likely to make interesting champions, the Basham Brothers, won.

What was the point of John Cena squashing Kenzo Suzuki like that? I can't see it.

Seeing Steve Keirn as one of the agents now was a bit of a shock. I'd read he was there, but he's aged so much, so quickly.

Thank Ghod we didn't have to see the non-wrestling divas stink up the ring!

Nunzio challenging Funaki for the Cruiserweight title was very forgettable.

What was really sad though was how skits and promos (and another pointless Kurt Angle hometown hero challenge) took up more of the show than actual ring action.

Three days late, and here are my views on RAW:

Firstly, based on the news of Lita's time out of the ring, if the alternative is more brain-numbing crap like the lingerie pillow-fight, then kill me now. As my mentor Rick Scaia pointed out, that was dumb for anyone over the age of 14.

At first I thought Kane was being sent out to bury the Simon Dean gimmick. Hopefully that won't prove to be wishful thinking, but it looks like it will ultimately just prove to be further reason to extend Gene Snitsky's storyline. Unfortunately, I'm concerned the fed will extend it like they're doing with Heidenreich on Smackdown!.

They gave us furthering on the simmering face turn of Batista... but why did they insist on tying it in with someone fans don't care too much about in Randy Orton?

I didn't see New Year's Revolution yesterday, but I've read much about it online.

I feel bad for both Eugene and Lita having their pushes stalled by injury. In Lita's case, now WWE is going to see the flaw of cutting back their Woman's Division... Victoria is now the only challenger available on the Face side.

From what I read regardless of them having a hot crowd, fans again showed how Project Orton has failed. Fans were actively booing Randy Orton - and having HHH win the title yet again against a dull opponent just didn't thrill anyone.
