I really enjoyed the 12 man tag match, and Henry versus Morrison but overall I'm losing interest in the central conspiracy that's developing... The aftermath of Hell in a Cell isn't nearly as interesting as I had hoped it would be and Kelly Kelly's performance tonight, screaming and flailing... I mean, I get what angle they're trying to play but I feel that was just way too overzealous.

At what point does the WWE realize that Kelly is completely and utterly useless? Kevin Dunn hired her from a freaking modeling agency. She's nothing more than a glorified cheerleader. She doesn't have an ounce of real wrestling passion or talent in her. I know Melina was said to be a bit of a headcase, but you keep the people who have ACTUAL talent and passion for the biz. I'd have fired Kelly Kelly and kept Melina

My complaint with the 12 man tag, I HATE when they do that stupid, predictable everyone hits their finishers finish. It only appeals to the marks and you'd think one of the wrestlers would be smart enough to realize that someone is going to be behind him and be ready to counter the finisher. It just makes everyone look stupid

I particularly enjoyed the ending of the 12 man because of the succession of finishers but that's because of my perspective on pro-wrestling matches in general. The coordination between all those guys pulling off that finale was pretty brilliant. Had one wrestler been off it would have ruined the ending routine, so I'm willing to suspend disbelief and praise 'em for pulling off a good performance.

As for Kelly Kelly... It really irks me when I see performances like that during a women's match because it's such a stereotype associated with catfights, along with hairpulling, slapping and spanking. It really sets women's wrestling back in my book whenever I see that and undermines the hard work and dedication that greats like Gail Kim an' Lita have done for girls in the sport.

On that note, I just watched the end of Raw on youtube as I had issues with my cable connection last night and I was really irked by what Beth said. She completely buried the entire women's division with just one sentence

"We're just girls"

Translation:

We're afraid these big,strong, men will hurt us because our COO a.k.a. the bigger, stronger, alpha male can't protect us

:roll: :x :evil:

I've officially given up on the women's division. Karma was its last chance, and as fate would have it she got pregnant

It took you this long.

I gave up on women's wrestling when Alundra Blaze went to WCW.

Whatever direction Raw takes I hope it involves less HHH standing in the ring droning on and on. The big conspiracy is going to end up involving a McMahon in some way, shape, or form anyways. WWE should have been building up new character's the past decade instead of going back to the family well again and again. And they have to stay PG, so they can't even raunch up a stale reveal or payoff for cheap shock value.

Agreed. Loving the Miz and R-Truth stuff myself, but Triple H needs to go. Boo the entire roster for him? ... horrible.

Only Triple H could bury EVERY SINGLE PERSON IN THE WWE

Seriously, Raw ended with ONE babyface standing in the middle of the ring and a whole truckload of heels walking out on him. Even Jim Ross went heel on Hunter

Wow

Triple H's biggest accomplishment ever? Burying an entire company?
