that whole thing with Raven, Sandman and Sandman's son was really well done.

It was done so well that McMahon stole it outright (Eddie Guerrero, Rey Mysterio and his son Damien), but Vince's version only ticked off the fans who considered both men to be faces.

How unfortunate that an industry possessing so many devoted fans is largely in the hands of a megalomaniacal creep who has no respect for the athletic aspects of his cash cow. That the fans continue watching and attending DESPITE being subjected to his endless stream of "creativity" (focused mainly on posteriors and bathroom functions) is quite remarkable.

I think Vince actually hates the business & in some twisted way is bent on destroying it. He knows it's not what we want, but it's just about the only show in town. There's no competition anymore. That just about lets him do whatever he wants. He knows we don't want "diva searches" or an aging Torrie Wilson with a bottle of mustard or Candice Michelle & her worn out act.He knows most of hate his "club". But he also knows there are a lot of us who love wrestling so much that we're willing to take the few decent scraps he throws at us.

The guys don't have any real leverage like they used to. It might encourage a few of the prima donnas but I don't think it's good for the business as a whole. If they're not happy about all they can do is go to TNA. But it looks like Jarrett has a death grip on that belt everytime I've checked it out. I'm not sure that promotion is any better.
