I think Vince has gone to far, using a wrestlers wife and kids, especially when eddie was rough with his wife at the ring for everybody to see. But thats the reaction he wants . Also thats why I here and he's a Billionaire.

I think they're just running out of ideas...which is sad because they've gone so low in some ways. Some of these "new" stories are really recycled from old WWF, WCW & ECW. It's kinda ironic as how they use to despise some of those WCW & ECW storylines, saying they are tasteless etc. and now they are doing the exact same thing...

Is it a surprise, think about some issues in the past that Vince thought would make good entertainment

- Gunplay (Austin/Pillman)
- Domestic abuse (Mero/Sable)
- Pimping (Godfather)
- Suicide attempt (Hawk)
- Cancer (Big Show)
- Necrophilia (Kane)
- Gaybashing and racial stereotypes (too many to mention)

This is low-class, but not surprising considering Vince`s past. The sad part is Eddie might be the best in-ring performer they have. He doesn`t need these storylines to get over, he already is.Just let him wrestle.

The new millennium and the birth of WWE
In 1999, McMahon took the WWF public; the McMahon family retained the vast majority of voting shares, however. Forbes has put his net worth at $700 million.

In 2001, his company created a joint venture with NBC for a new professional American football league, the XFL. The league folded after one season and is widely regarded as a colossal failure.

I find this Eddie Guerrero / Rey Mysterio angle to be boring. These two guys are excellent wrestlers in their own right.

Raw is the superior show.

Raw is the superior show.

For sure.

I looked at the 5 people that they traded and it's a no brainer who got the better end.

Cena vs. Batista (Let's call it even but really Cena has a much bigger upside than Batista because he's more versatile.)

Angle vs. Benoit (while I love Benoit for his work ethics and stuff, Angle is a much better entertainer. Plus he is a real Olympic Gold Medalist )

Carlito vs. Hassan (meh, don't care for either one...)

Big Show & Van Dame vs. Orton & Christian (Always thought Van Dame is real innovative...and Show is willing to do whatever to get a laugh-think Wrestlemania and Sumo outfit. Christian tries to be goofy but he really isn't that funny...and while Orton was doing well for a bit, he's too often injured.)

Raw is superior by far.
