Weekend Post Number One

When this blog first started i planned on updating it after every Raw, every ECW, every Smackdown, every Impact, every PPV. Now i've realised that i just dont have the time to do that, once a week i can probably manage, so from this point onwards i'm gona make this a one post a week blog (Weekends most likely)

So whats happened this week in Wrestling. Well not a lot, Vince is still giving away $$$$$$$$ and not putting anything decent on Raw, being from overseas the give away is not in the least bit entertaining, apart from the cringe worthy segments!!!!

I missed the TNA show because Coventry don't have trains running late on a Saturday night and it was fathers day on the sunday (i put family first because i couldnt bag a lift!)

The draft is getting closer and probably would get more buys than, say, Night Of Champions, having Ted DiBiase (Jnr) getting a title shot is a waste, but then again having Rhodes and Holly as champs is criminal. Why dont they have the Draft at the PPV, i know they need ratings but the buyrates for the B shows arent great either. If they were to have the 3 GM's host the PPV and we could get the trades in between the title matches, we could even get a Cruiserweight Open where the Winner if he's on RAW or ECW gets drafted to Smackdown, would give Kendrick an escape route at least.

My 5 tips to boost RAWs ratings;

1. Trade Triple H for Edge - Edge is the most watched Champion in recent history, and his feud with Cena was pretty decent, maybe with a few other players in the mix Raws title picture could be interesting. Triple H as champion has been almost as much fun as JBL being on top!
2. Get Guest Announcers on Raw! JR and the King are so '98, and so are there lines, i'd like to see Former Wrestlers, Celebrities, Injured WWE guys, just to give the show a new voice, the headsets are there to keep them in line so why the hell not
3. 15 Minute Matches, not 5 Minute Main Events - This is your bread and butter, so dont give us crumbs.
4. Build up the Tag and IC Titles, These belts need more TV time, and that gives the holders more chance at making it to the next level.
5. Stray from the formula. Raws number one problem is predictabilty, if the ppv is HHH vs Cena and Orton vs Hardy dont just have a tag between the four on Raw. Have a 4 way, 3 on 1, something thats not been done ad naseum for the past 5 years or so. Need more run ins, backstage fights, parking lot brawls, fighting through the crowd, allow wrestlers more freedom to entertain. If the 7 year cycle is to be believed then were due another Invasion.

Thats all for now, but i shall be back again soon with Round Three of my TKOTR tournament, my predictions for Night of Champions and The Draft and of course any reviews of what goes down in the world of sports entertainment.
