I at least expected them to go along with the Cena firing for a little longer than 3 weeks. Could have even used the Juan Cena gimmick on raw for a while. (similar to when they used Mr America on Hogan when he was supposed to be fired)
All in all Raw was poor last night and just seemed to be a filler show as they run out of ideas before TLC. One match was a double DQ and the Barrett count out was just lazy booking.

But it's the show before a PPV, the idea of that sort of show is to build final interest for the PPV. All in all it was a wasted show. Seems that the whole Slammy thing is just for the WWE writers to slap themselves on the back for coming up with stupid ideas

Got the new PowerSlam magazine last night. Apparantly WWE are producing a 'Top 50 Superstars of All-Time' DVD. Don't know why they even bother with crap like this - it's so biased and false it's untrue, e.g. based on preference rather then reality. Hulk Hogan is still the biggest name (Superstar) in the history of pro-wrestling, and there will never be anyone bigger. Surprise surprise though on this DVD he is behind the likes of John Cena and HHH. As much as I love WWE they really are a joke sometimes.

Apparently on a recent poll on WWE.com Hogan came in at #26 on the 50 greatest of all time. Bit silly really. Did you also see the top 25 managers of all time? Jim Cornette and Paul E. Dangerously didn't make the cut.

That's because the average age of the respondents to those sorts of online polls will probably be late teens to early 20s.
If you're 20 years old now, and let's say you've been watching (and remembering) wrestling for 10-15 years, what will you have seen of Hogan? The stiff, arthritic old guy with one catchphrase and two moves. Same goes for Flair.
