Your thoughts?

Thoughts it looks like RAW is in deep trouble. How many people believe Vicki will still be GM of SmackDown after the wedding when Taker comes back to kick his ass? Question for someone what is with the Great American BASH logo this year it's as about as partrotic as the USSR?

XD; Commies are in the WWE Graphic Design Department. *Just saw the logo for the Great American Bash*

My opinions of the Bash logo/trailer...The logo seems to conjure images of comic books for some reason...last night's teaser for the event, also, reminded me of something on par with my promos for the URWL...which is REALLY saying something. The WWE always pushes the limit with their video production, so why skimp out? It may just be further proof that the WWE doesn't care about the Bash supercard (bad memories of Bash '05 in Buffalo come to mind...don't get me started on the Batista/JBL main event...)

I actually thought NOC wasn't that bad of a WWE pay-per-view. I went in expecting nothing but it really surprised me. Kofi/Jericho, in my honest opinion, was by far the Match of the Night. It was EXACTLY the kind of match Kingston needed to advance to the next stage of his career. Near-falls, reversals and an interesting interference swerve added to the quality wrestling both men exhibited. In the past few months, Chris has had some great matches with the WWE's rookies (a great example of this is his few confrontations with CM Punk after Wrestlemania and his debut match against Santino Marella) and this one just adds to that list.

I think the WWE could have made the DiBiase "mystery partner" a bit better. I honestly was expecting Randy Orton to come out, given the rumors of the new "third generation stable" the WWE may be planning with Orton, DiBiase and (eventually) Rhodes. Still, it was a bit of a shock but not as big as I would have expected (given the fact that Orton wasn't booked). Oh, well, there's always time for the "third generation stable" to form (Jimmy Snuka Jr, DH Smith and Reed Flair should also be considered, even though they may not be third-generation). And don't be surprised if we see Cody and Ted Jr. go after Ted Sr. and Dusty down the road....actually, that match is almost a given considering the WWE's track record.

Dud of the night...Kane/Show/Henry for obvious reasons.

As bad as Kane/Show/Henry was, though, at least the winner brought a "major" title to his brand. I admit, I was pretty upset that they couldn't cap off the night by sending one major title to each brand. Instead, HHH and Edge retain with no sight of CM Punk anywhere (except for in a brief interview/confrontation segment, speaking for the first time in what seems like months from my standpoint). By the end of the HHH/Cena match, I was literally screaming for Punk to cash in his title shot, especially with HHH favoring his knee after the match. But it was not to be.

Something tells me, though, that Edge will be in attendance tonight in Oklahoma City, and Batista will complain until he's blue in the face about being screwed, leading them to have a No DQ match on Raw and having Batista win...or, dare I say it, Punk cashing in his title shot.

Of course, Raw just may have Kofi Kingston as its only major champion until Bash or, dare I say it, SummerSlam. And that decision wouldn't surprise me right about now.

Like I said, NOC was a perfect opportunity for the WWE to start with a clean slate for both Raw and SmackDown. Unfortunately, they failed in both parts of the double main event. The only solution I have, Stamford, is to find a Champion for Raw...quickly. Or make it into an angle so we can waste our money on Bash and SummerSlam.

And trust me, folks, it may just be the latter.

well i think punk will cash in in a week or two whichever one the wedding is, then brign the title to RAW they've alluded to it and when WWE alludes to something it's almost a given it'll happen
