While it's been more entertaining, is Truth-Cena going to sell any PPVs? I highly doubt it.

Sorry, Slim, but I think you have unrealistic expectations. What I'm curious about, What do YOU want out of Raw? (to go slightly off-topic a bit)
Punk went over the World Champion (and Super Hero) John Cena last night in a very very good TV match. He's a heel. That means he loses more than he wins. It's PRO WRESTLING, Wins and losses are pointless, relevance is and Punk is still VERY Relevant towards the top of the Food chain.
Punk is and will always be gold... but in a shit show... you get his presence for a few minutes tops and other than last night it is always on a losing effort. The guy should be at the top of the food chain but instead he's just fodder.
Truth is having the run of his career, but to say "he should have gone heel and given this push a long time ago and it's years too late" shows that you are both a Psychic and aren't watching RAW. Because, only a Psychic could know R-Truth had the ability to do what he's done in this promo, because he's never shown nor had the opportunity to show any glimmer of him having this. Yes, I've been watching him since K-Kwik. And if you've been watching Raw, it's obviously not too late because he's possibly the most over heel in the company right now.
Riley and Miz has been great, Riley's music is crowd pop-worthy, and Riley might be on the ride of his life here. I expect the Miz to win at Capitol Punishment in the typical WWE style of "This guy gets over on his opponent for 3 weeks so we can have him Job at the ppv" booking, but if Riley can have a strong showing, then he's pretty much set.
Del Rio/Show has been comical, Rodriguez is hilarious and that beatdown last night was fantastic. Show running at a sprint to the ring in street clothes was pretty scary looking. I'd expect a pretty decent match between the two at the ppv.
Kofi/Ziggler is just taking off, but they have a match at the ppv. I hope this continues after, maybe adding in a few new stars to the mix and making the US title relevant again.
While the lack of Zack Ryder in his hometown turned me off to last night's Raw, it was still a great show. I wasn't bored for a minute. Wish I could say the same watching TNA.
Back ON topic, I was wrong and I was right. Stone Cold was gold on RAW last night, added a great bit to the show. His promo with Punk, as Troy said, was freaking gold.
My main point that I was trying to make is that people is saying that it is decent... but it is still shit.
Slim I gotta ask TNA or WWE which is the better show.
I didn't say RAW was decent, I said it was a great show. Your point being "Other people are stupid, RAW is shit because I think so" doesn't really hold a lot of weight in my opinion. If you don't like the program, great. You're entitled to your opinion and I respect your right to it. That doesn't mean I'm any less entitled to mine.
You still didn't answer my question. I asked what do YOU want out of RAW. "A watchable show" is about as vague as the Check Engine light on my car. You're so adamant that RAW is terrible, then pray tell, what should they do to make it better?
TNA is, almost always has been, and will for the forseeable future, be a big piece of wasted time spent watching bullshit illogical television. What I meant to infer is that I followed him from K-Kwik, through TNA and back to WWE. You mean there's another wrestling company besides WWE? Whodafuckinthunkit! Smartass. He was terrible in TNA. But I don't hold that against him. Par for the course in that piece of shit company. Until recently, he's been freaking terrible in the WWE. So yes, I said you'd have to be psychic. I stand by it.
