I myself have been a fan of the former WWF since the few short weeks before Wrestlemania 2000. (or W16) And I think that right now, the new WWE GM's gimmick is possibly one of the most interesting, original and exciting gimmicks that the WWE has put out since I've been a fan.

I mean, there has never been a storyline quite like this before (with the exception of the invasion) but this is slightly different. I find it exciting to find out who will be taken from Smackdown! and put on Raw, or vice versa. And I think its awesome.

And they picked an awesome guy to be the "bad"one, I dont know about you guys, but Bitchoff's cockiness just makes me wanna fuckin deck the guy in the stomach, and I love that!

And I'm thrilled to see that Stephanie is a face. Because, since the first episodes of Raw I ever saw, Stephanie has not once been face, so its an interesting take. It's kinda nice to see her be able to step into the ring, like she did on SmackDown! and not hear the "slut" chants.

What do you think about the new GM gimmicks?

its okay.. I don't know, they don't push the real "wrestlers" enough like Kurt Angle.

I think it is awsome, let's just hope they do not mess it up again!

You're right about this, Swany. J.R. said that it's going to be a very gradual process getting the WWE back to the place it once was when it was a top ratings-getter, when it was prosperous. But it's actually happening pretty fast from what I see. And all they need to do is keep up this excellent storyline.

This battle between the two shows is what was expected after the roster split and draft. It's taken a while for the actual feuding to take place. But it was well worth the wait. Using the competitive Eric Bischoff and the also-competitive Stephanie as the the General Managers was genius because these two want nothing more than to be the best. And with that, they will keep making their moves back and forth. It's exactly the type of "chess match" some predicted would go on between the two. And it damn sure is intriguing.

And beside the RAW vs. Smackdown! storyline, there is a great story going on with Shawn Michaels and Triple H. That is also very interesting. I seriously have no idea what is going to happen next week with this story. And that's exactly how I like it. I want to be surprised. I don't want to be able to predict everything all the time. This is pretty original, which is why it's so good.

And this is perfect as we are coming up on the WrestleMania of the summer season, SummerSlam. Brock vs. The Rock is going to be incredible. I wish I could see all the build up on Smackdown!. But I absolutely can't wait for that main event at SummerSlam. I'll be cheering for Brock all the way. I think Brock could have one of the longest title reigns in years. I mean, it's pretty sad that the longest title reign in recent history is only 8 months (Shawn Michaels). I'd love to see Brock hold the title for a year or more. That's something that is rare these days. That would also be a great story.

Whoever is creating these storylines deserves a huge pat on the back. I really think the WWE's rating are gonna really start to rise soon.

I see rock keeping his title after Summerslam ... or else Brock winning up but with huge consequences and changes ...

NDD

Well the logical prediction is that Rock will be dropping the title so he can go to make his new movie.

MMB

Yeah or maybe he'll do what he officialy announced: balance the two as long as possible

NDD

Oh yeah. But he'd be a pretty crappy champion if he wouldn't be showing up all the time and would be doing movies instead of defending his title. Hell, he missed both RAW and Smackdown! this week. Is that a sign, maybe?

MMB

Yeah well a week off ... he'll be there next week ... Maybe he will do one week per two weeks

NDD

That's still not that great when you're the Undisputed Champion. If you hold that title, you should be at all the shows. But I guess that's just my opinion.
