Another week of Raw, another week where Jerico (who's been kicked off the show TWICE in recent weeks) is back to get back on Raw. Wish they'd put this much effort into when other guys switch shows

It just saddened me last week when Jericho was put in that match because we all knew in NO way was Jericho going to be gone from RAW. He's the best heel they've got.

To be honest I'm surprised actually - I'd read he was going to fued with Edge when Edge returns (as a babyface), so figured this was been done to get him back on SmackDown for when the fued starts.

Finally seen both of the head-to-head shows from last week - TNA definitely edged it IMO. Raw with Hart was great (though without him it would have just been a run-of-the-mill show for me), but everyone with TNA clearly threw all they had into the show, e.g. the Style v Angle match, which was better then any WWE match I've seen since Taker v HBK at Mania.
Big up to TNA, a lot of drama and intrigue I've not felt with WWE for a long time!!

styles vs angle was a great match fully enjoyed it best i have seen in tna for some time match of the year so far for them

they pulled out everything into last week and it payed off big time

The WWE Championship match for the Rumble will be Shamus vs Orton.

It's just a shame that WWE's idea of doing something different for number 1 contender match involves Cena Vs Orton MMMXVIII with Kofi Kingston thrown in as a random 3rd guy, simply so neither Cena or Orton has to get pinned

How utterly shambolic was TNA's big show with Hogan? Xpac, a 26 stone scott hall and a 68 year old Kevin Nash. Compare that to the RAW show with Bret Hart and you can see why TNA is a nothing wrestling federation

None of whom contested the main event.

Also that 'nothing federation' had it's highest ever ratings, and is doing another UK arena tour in a few weeks.

But this particular show had nothing to do with the main event in the same way Raw never. Interesting to note that TNAs highest ever rating was only for the 15 minute Hogan segment. After that the ratings plummeted

No they didn't, they levelled out at 2million which is still very good.

Oh, and as TNA has Tara I really don't see how you have an arguement.
