As I look ahead to the mire of crud that RAW is going to become once Goldberg (spit) becomes champion, crying myself to sleep at night, I have gotten a responses saying I'm too critical of the WWE as a whole and have decided to post this to prove that I can say nice things and that there is hope after Goldberg (spit.) The future of our obsession, the industry and my wasted TV hours. I only comment on the WWE, since I've got no way to see TNA or Indy promotions.

Regardless, the new blood, the up-and-comers plus those that have developed into stars. Talented wrestlers that can elevate TV programming once Ol' Vince realises where the companies future lies.

Matt Hardy Version 1.0- A personal hero, always the prefered Hardy and now a guy who needs only a solid push to succeed. He never seems to win a match on Smackdown! and that's a shame, plus Shannon does seem like baggage to me, but I love the V1.0 guy, his gimmick is strong and he's just waiting for his chance. I think it's surprised most people that he became the stronger of the eXtreme in the single division, but not me.

Shelton Benjamin & Charlie Haas- What a pair. Proving more and more that a technical background will help you these days, the two tag team champions are head and shoulders above pretty much the rest of the roster with their in-ring skills. Their mic work hasn't really had a chance to show yet (though Shelton does a cool Eddie Guerrero impression) but I see great things in tag and single competition for a long time to come. NOt bad for a team that was yanked up from OVW and thrown together last minute.

Sean O'Haire- Why isn't his guy at least in the U.S title race? As a future WWE Champion I feel that this guy is wasted week after week. His work is solid, skills good, look and gimmick sharp... What is the freakin' problem here? Smackdown!-time, now!

Brock Lesnar- Every week I say I'm fed up of his over-saturation on TV, and every week I shut the hell up and watch without complaint as he impresses me over and over again. His mic-skills are picking up too, I want him to drop out of the WWE title chase for a while, but I dont doubt a long and glorious future for him.

John Cena- Is the man. Word, Life!

Edge- God I miss him. He added a spark of charisma that Smackdown! needed and I can't wait to see him back in action. As long as his surgery hasnt impaid his work in-ring I see a title run soon following his come-back.

Christian- The 'lesser' member of E&C, maybe'll never see the top spot, but I still think his a future talent, most drastic thing he needs is a new finishing move. The Unprettier sucks, suited his face tag-team image more and needs replacing.

Booker-T- I know he's not new and likely sooner than we'd like, but the way I see it, RAW needs to give him the World-Heavyweight title. No argument! Title! His waist! Pronto!

Randy Orton- Love or Hate this man! Like Cena he suffered a horrid face-push early on and he's a little too over-used, but he can wrestle and I think might well impress as time goes on. Unforgiven'll be the proof of it I guess...

And so the list would go on, but I doubt anyone cares all that much to read my opinions on the like's of Maven, Christopher Nowinski, Spanky, Val Venis, Jamie Noble or so on. Instead, I'll leave you with this puzzle...

Which is the most accurate description of the term 'A complete waste of Money'?

a, Kevin Nash.
b, Goldberg (spit.)
c, Scott Steiner.
d, Goldberg (spit.)
e, Shawn Michaels.
f, Goldberg (spit.)
g, Hulk Hogan.
h, Goldberg (spit.)
i, Nathan Jones.
j, All of the above.
