Raw thoughts
I caught most of Raw last night even though I flipped several times due to the Spirit Squad. The gimmick is just freakin' stupid. Its X-Pac heat. I can't even remember the last wrestlers that made me actively turn a show off. Maybe Hogan's face days in WCW...
That said, Raw had two of the best promos they've had in years.
Foley busted out a nice psychotic promo on Edge. I love the fact that he was satisfied with Wrestlemania because he started the downhill slide of Edge's career.
The other great promo was from Joey Styles. This reminded me of Heyman's promo during the Invasion. It was very shooty and parts of it I was surprised were allowed to be said. King also played his role well, starting off by playfully making fun of Styles to getting pissed when he got slapped. They should let Lawler go into full ECW hatred mode.
So, the ECW angle has got me interested, but still skeptical.
