END OF SHOW.

My Thoughts:

Sorry about last week, I had some personal problems, but I am back!

The most exciting part of RAW was Sgt. Slaughters return!!!

Nah, im only joking, but I wasnt really entertained by RAW this week. Kane/Benoit was pretty good, and I couldnt believe Kane tapped out. Oh well, after the match he got his revenge and all that good stuff. So it's going to be Benoit vs. Triple H at Vengeance. That should be a snoozer. I'm definetly not looking forward to Vengeance.

Where is Shelton Benjamin? Did I miss something here? Is he injured? Just a few weeks ago he was practically becomming a main eventer! I miss him, and he needs to come back.

So Eugene is a member of Evolution? Interesting...very interesting. I'm guessing HHH will turn on him, but I am looking forward to seeing where this all goes.

RAW wasnt very entertaining to me this week, but there is always next week, which should be awesome because Eugene is going to be GM for the day!

Thanks for reading everybody, and I'll be back next week with another recap. E-Mail me at nate_flacko@yahoo.com and tell me what you thought of this weeks recap, good or bad, I am all ears.

Until next week, PEACE!!!
