You know, with Randy and Jericho starting a feud I wonder if WWE did this more often they would have a much better product.

There is just no rivalries these days outside of whatever Cena's doing.

Yes, I rather enjoyed that one myself. However, I think they should make it between Chris, Randy and Alberto especially since no one seems to have a true gauge on whether Chris will stay or not. I hear one thing one day and then another the next. But, I think all three of them getting in each other's way would be very entertaining.

Randy seems more focused when he has to go against the better wrestlers in the company.

Personally I really enjoyed that main event and thought Tensai looked extremely good in it. I'm sure alot of people wouldn't like to see it but from what I saw last night I wouldn't mind seeing a Tensai/Sheamus feud at all as it could be a really good big man match, sort of like Henry/Sheamus was, but better given Tensai is more agile and able than Henry is.

They seriously need to give him some promo time or something though, let us hear his motives and what not.

I was with you until you said more promo time. I don't need to know anything about his motives other than he's a mean man that likes to hurt people. I'm just so tired of the endless talking, so I can't hope for another wrestler getting to grab a mike.

Just like certain wrestlers are known for acrobatics and others for submission moves, I think some of these guys should only be known for wrestling, not talking. Limit the promos and who can do them.

He needs promo time so they can somewhat acknowledge his past in an attempt to stop these Albert chants he's getting. People are only chanting it because they think its risque and edgy because the WWE aren't really doing anything about it. His situation is fixable whereas Ryback's is slightly trickier because the chants aren't apart of his past or anything.

There isn't any way to get his past out there through Michael Cole? I could've sworn I heard a backstory for him when he first debuted. If he must talk, then I ask you, can he? Is he any good on the mic?

Most people likely don't listen to Michael Cole so therein is another problem. I think the back story was that he was just a former WWE superstar who headed off to Japan for more competition and became an international superstar or something.

I didn't like him when he was Albert. I like him less as Tensai. At least when he was albert he came out with Trish (When she was thick).

It was pretty boring, nothing that happened on this Raw grabbed my interest at all. It was a really, really, really, really, bad episode of Raw. Hopefully next week will be a lot better.

Looked like an alright show. Will have to check out Kane vs. Bryan to see what that was like. Are we going to see Kane added into the title mix soon? I don't get all the hate for Tensai, I think that he actually looks good in the ring and his character is unique but not completely over the top so it works. I would be happy to see him versus Sheamus or Punk for the title, doesn't need to win but he would be a good challenger.
