What's the info, I can't find it.

Jeremy is basically saying he will update is more info on SvR '06 which "isn't" related to this weeks RAW. Basically a hint. I am expecting screens/vids of Hogan and HBK.

I know, and you'd think maybe he WWE would stop selling him tickets. :P

That was good Raw last night Overall IMHO!

I was not too excited about the whole Matt Hardy deal, since it is starting to get old now and the spot on last night was too predictedable. Even though I was disappointed that Matt did not come attack Edge in the Cage, that was still very good Cage Match last night and I enjoyed myself regardless. One thing though, the match next Monday will there 5th match on televison together in the last few weeks, can we say OVERKILL? Also, I hope next Monday, will be last of Matt attacking Edge and him running from the guards. You can only do that same skit so much, before it gets old. By the way, last night it officially became OLD.

The Lumber-Jack Match last night was good overall, but I have seen better, but I have also seen worse. I would have rather just seen a straight one-on-one match with John Cena and Gene Snitsky-with Y2J in Snitsky's corner.

Of course, as usual, the Diva Contast was easily the WORST SKIT on Raw by a MILE.

I do not know why, but I am enjoying the Kurt Angle Challenge a lot more on Raw, than I am SmackDown. Maybe it is because they are not making the matches on Raw less one-sided, but I am sure I probably in the minority on actuall enjoying the Kurt Angle Challenge, Oh well!

Carlito and Shelton need to end this feud, they are fighting each other too much as of late and will probably have another match next week, but last night's match was sill decent enough.

I have to disagree on these two points. 1. I do not think that was a good Raw, at all, but to each his/her own.

2. A straight up 1-on-1 contest between Cena and Snitzky would have been absolutely awful, IMO. The Lumberjacks were needed to make that match the least bit interesting, and take the focus off the weaknesses being displayed in the ring and keep the energy high. The Lumberjacks created an "odds stacked against him" feel to the match that allowed the crowd to get behind Cena and added a drama to the match, which would have been missing in a 1-on-1 match.

Otherwise, I agree.

Okay, you make a good point about the Lumberjack match, a Lumberjack match between the two was probaby the best idea. But the reason I said I rather have a 1-on-1 match, is because I was little upset how more than half the match was John Cena getting beaten up the Lumberjacks, even more so than normal Lumberjack Matches.

I just wish there would have been a little more of an actual match, than Lumberjacks beaten' up John Cena, regardless of Gene Snitsky's lack of in-ring ability. You have to admit, that match was a little too much of John Cena getting beat down by Lumberjacks, than most Lumberjack matches. I agree it was best to be a Lumberjack match, rather than a 1-on-1 match, I just wish there would been more of actual match to it.

As for Raw being good or not-I know you and many other people did not like it and I can see/understand where you are where coming from, I just personally enjoyed it overall, that is all!
