probably a storyline for these 2:

1. vince can go heel

2. vince gets mad how RAW is being run better, takes control of SD, and it's the invasion storyline all over again except it's RAW vs SD. with wwECW sprinkled in it.

Suggestion for NY

If You truly find Raw that boring
Don't watch it anymore.

There has got to be better things
for you to do.

As a fan since the WWWF days of Bruno-1, I am truly grateful that your kind words have now set me free. Bow
Thank you. I can now, happily, join my sons who grew up with the WWF and all the toys I bought them when young, and have turned against scripted, repetitive, Blah boring Vince a few years back to explore the vast pastures of the UFC. BlackEye Boxing See Stars
In fact, I'll toast you with a cold one when I am in Philly for UFC 101. Cheers
But the toast is off if The Miz tries to sneak into the octogon and hit Anderson Silva with a chair-shot. Squish
Hey, thanks again.....
Hello

I will say that I feel one can easily be a fan of both the WWE and UFC as they both offer a different form of entertainment. I have also been a fan of WWE since the Sammartino/Backlund era and have watched UFC since its inception.

I was not crazy about Vince buying back RAW before the night was through but I also couldn't see Trump actually finding time to do RAW every week, even for a short amount of time. Trump did Vince a favor with the appearance and RAW saw a huge boost in the ratings so their mission was accomplished.

I don't think Orton will lose the belt at the Bash. If he does, I think it ruins his credibility a lot after having just lost the title to Batista at the last PPV.

Sorry for my sarcastic response. I AM a fan of both Pro Wrestling and the UFC. I just didn't find it amusing to be told to do something else with my time.
For years I enjoyed the WWWF, WWF, ECW, AWA-NWA-WCW, TNA and now Vince's WWE.
My complaints are consistent:
Vince bought and then ruined ECW. The ECW One Night Stand in which the WWE stars entered the Hammerstein was about the best thing I saw in decades. Rather than work with ECW, he turned it into SD-Lite.
Also, Vince throws 'bad for business' Superstars under the bus in the name of showing the world his drug policy enforcement. But the 'good for business' Stars get a pass: Himself, Cena, HHH, Batista, etc. Roids/GHG. Not for me to say, but I saw those guys when they started out, and.....do the math.
Lastly, I wanted TNA to become a viable product just to push Vince into a more competitive mode and upgrade his storylines. But since TNA also stepped back in quality due to Russo and the old WWE/WCW guys (which caused them to lose that fresh edge they initially brought), Vince just has his "toys" and does what he wants:
-all about him and his family
-HHH is family and always gets the spotlight
-Nonsense such as guys in drag
-No real women's division: just hot divas. I love looking at gorgeous women, but I miss Trish, Chyna, Holly, Lita, etc. Mickie James can wrestle, as can Gail Kim and Melina. But he wants 'hot' for his ratings. I understand this but preferred to watch wrestling on a wrestling show. Hotties can be found elsewhere.
So....all being said, we can agree to disagree.
Cheers
