It was really refreshing to hear Wai enjoying wrestling again, as with all the recent Raws and most of the recent PPV events you can actually hear him slowly losing the will to live, and becoming more tired and frustrated every week.

[KK]

I wonder if these 3 hour RAW's could be having an impact on SmackDown, which once again continued its decline last week, or whether now the Olympics have finished it'll go back up again slightly.

SmackDown

Just listened myself

Really glad both of them sounded so excited - it was the first wrestling PPV I had ever seen and it rates as one of my all time fav.

Made me laugh

Anyone have a link to this week's Raw in 5 Minutes? Can't find it on YouTube...

This week's Raw is the first one in probably 15 years that I haven't watched. Seriously can't be bothered to watch the full show anymore. It's such a chore these days. Will still watch the PPVs, but that's it for me.
