    Took my son to Mohegan Sun last Monday to see Raw. Pretty cool and pretty entertaining to see it live. I would take him again.
    If a man speaks in a forest and there is no woman around to hear him, is he still wrong?

    Trips is out 4-6 months with a new quad injury.

    I'm trying to figure out what's worse:

    1. Trips hogging TV time each week

    2. Trips having more backstage time to give input into the current product.

    That's a tough one. My suggestion is bring somebody back and have them join HBK in DX and keep HHH at their side so the feud with Orton and Edge can carry on in to Wrestlemania. Sucks that it's the same injury as last time, i feel bad for him. Although it cause such a clumsy finish to the match on last night's PPV.

    He's partial to blame for the death of mainstream wrestling.

    I agree. The last three WM main events have included HHH, that shouldn't be allowed. It's complete overkill. From what i've read, i was surprised and disappointed that WWE management were actually going to have HHH vs Cena as the main event again.

    You take Steph and Triple H out of the WWE equation and you might be able to salvage things.

    It's been a downward spiral for several years now.

    It's troubling to even watch Rob Van Damn and Sabu on ECW each week.

    The entire re-branding of ECW has been troubling to watch IMHO. Too many WWE rejects and cast-offs promoted as main-eventers. Bad writing......too many "non-extreme" matches.

    Wouldn't be great if Steph and Triple H took some time off to enjoy the baby and recover from this latest injury. They should come down here and let Dr. Andrews work on the quad and set them up in a nice rental house in a gated community. Enjoy the baby and some time off.

    ECW has just been a disaster, plain and simple. Guys like Test being pushed as main eventers when honestly not many people want to watch him. They shouldn't call it ECW because it barely resembles what it used to be.

    The problem is that since 2001 there's barely been any competition. TNA is on the up but still can't compete fully with WWE, so there isn't as much pressure for the writing to be top notch. We all remember the Monday Night Wars; week in and week out the shows were of a high standard. Now, it's just lame for the most part.

    Well said.........Test is part of the problem, as is Hardcore Holley and the stupid school teacher dude.

    And for God's sake........give Metallica their damn money where the Sandman can properly enter the ring.

    That's what's funny about this reincarnation of DX...back in '97/'98, HBK was top dog...he ran the show...and DX was better.

    This time, Triple H has top billing. I just don't buy it. He will always be second fiddle to HBK.

    Plus, when he tries to mimic the Jesse James intro...he butchers it.

    who thought it would be a great idea to put Khali on live TV? At least on ECW and Smackdown, they had the benefit of taping the show and editing out the most horrid of spots. On RAW, we get the pleasure of witnessing Khali in full-on unedited glory. JUDO CHOP TO HEAD! RAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!

    I understand the reasoning of not pushing a guy too hard, but when he is over with the fans as much as CM Punk is...it's makes no sense to keep him on the sidelines.

    Same thing with Sabu and RVD...so over with the crowd and they get buried.

    Debacle is too kind of a description for that "action" last night........Thank God the football game was on another network.
