Meh I think it's decline began around 2003 to be honest..it stopped being consistently good in 2003 whereas 2004 and 05 had good shows now and again, dotted around the year IMO.

agreed.

the only highlights i can remember from 2003-2006 is:

1) Deputy Austin; Mick Foley

2) Rock vs. Austin WM 19

3) Randy Orton: Legend Killer

4) HBK vs. Y2J

5) Benoit Title Run

6) ROH namedrop

7) Lita's breasts

8) Edge

9) Shelton vs. HHH or HBK

10) Kurt Angle

11) Jericho & Christian

that is honestly it, and the first half is basicly angles leading into WM 19 or matches from WM 19

RAW hasn't been consistently good since the summer of 2002 when the crappy NWO angle was the focus of show, Austin walked out, Jeff Hardy copped out,  Brock, Benoit, and Eddie were moved to Smackdown, and people were botching spots left and right like there was no tomorrow. Despite all of this, the show was still watchable. That all changed during the Summer of 2005 when the IC title was buried once and for all, Carlito was made into a one dimensional prop, Jericho & Angle were fed to Cena in carbon copy feuds, the Hardy/Edge feud was flushed down the toilet, and Masters was pushed. It would only get worse once the fans turned on Cena and HBK/Mcmahon feud started.

I can agree with the NWO crap that was given but regardless of that, I liked how in 2002, the WHC was actually being defended against different wrestlers and not consistent best of three fueds like Chavo/Benoit, Cena/Edge, Orton/Taker etc. And that when one lost the title, that it did mean something. Booker T & Goldust winning the TAG Titles for instance. Plus, the Brand extension still had some heat to it and so kept some original angles going. I dunno, I guess it's how each individual feels. But yeah, 2005 and 2006 were lack luster and 2007 doesn't look anymore hopeful.

But I can't get out of the back of my mind that a reason why 2005 and 2006 sucked is because I've been in the IWC since then. :?
