Well, the title pretty much says it all. What's wrong with Raw, and how do you fix it? I know everybody has a ton of problems with it. In the Live Discussion everybody was blasting the hell out of the WWE, and I'm pretty sure they weren't the only ones. So what's wrong with Raw? Is it the talent? The writing of the show? Or is it something else? Tell me what's wrong with Raw but don't just leave it at that. Tell me also how to fix it. So, tell me what you think.
I'm going to tell you what I think. And I'm going to defend the WWE here, since nobody else is. I think the WWE is doing their best with what they've got. Now I understand that the Jericho/legends angle has amounted into a big pile of nothing, but you have to give them credit. Face it, what else would you do with him? The MITB match is boring enough already and everybody hated it when Jericho was champ. The crowd is never pleased. Legacy is supposed to be the next shit on Raw but look at what they've become. They're jobbers! But look at who they're jobbing to. The champion is who they job to! If they beat Triple H in a match, fans would complain that the writers don't make the champ look strong enough. It's rediculous. The IC title has lost it's prestige because nobody likes who has it. Or it changes hands too much. You know, sometimes you just have to sympathise with the WWE and take what they give. You can't complain about everything.
So, how would I fix it? Well, let's look at the first problem. Jericho's boring storyline with the legends. Everybody wanted Stone Cold to come out tonight and kick ass and make a match at WrestleMania. Well that didn't happen so the WWE is full of ******ed people? Without even fully knowing how the rest of the stroy is going to go, judgement has been passed. Like it or not, Austin isn't going to have a match at 'Mania most likely. So, put Jericho in the next best thing. A match with three legends. It's not great, but it's not terrible. Legacy's problem is easily fixable. Don't put them against the champion! Let them do their own thing with the tag champions and get those belts. If you're going to establish a badass tag-team, do not make them job to the champ. No good comes out of it apparently. The IC title has hit quite a drag. JBL has it. What the WWE needs to do is spend as much time on this belt as they do with the main championships. They should have somebody like Jericho or Christian hold the belt and have a year long feud all without the belt changing hands. Simple as that.
So, tell me what you think is really wrong with Raw, but also tell me how to fix it.
