Wow...

RAW Review:

PROS:

- Opening segment was very good.
- Jericho vs. RVD was a good match for the time it was given. The Triple Threat at Unforgivencould be a MOTY canditate, IMO.
- The Goldberg Hype segments were good, though I think they could've shown more of his WCW past, but this is WWE we're talking about.
- Women's match was decent, and Lita is back. She should leave the Twist of Fate to Matt Hardy, though.
- The HBK/Orton segment was okay. It might be one of the best matches on the card. Why was Maven involved? Setting up a possible heel turn?

CONS:

- The Triple H Ego Trip, I mean "Party" was dull and boring. You could tell that the crowd hated it. Once again, HHH destroys the credibility of a wrestler by making fun of him and his past. Yawn. I hope he has to take a long vacation to heal his groin.
- Moolah vs. Victoria was pointless. The RKO afterwards was so predictable. WWE, PLEASE stop the shock factor. It doesn't work like it did in 1998!
- Spike Dudley vs. Rob Conway was a dull squash match. Their feud is really boring, and I just can't wait for it to end.
- Speaking of never ending feuds, let's hope that the other boring feud (Steiner vs. Test) ends at Unforgiven. The match between Test and Val Venis was only booked to further the feud. I bet that Stacy swerves us and turns on Steiner this Sunday.
- Contract signing was a waste of time. We all know that Shane will get killed at Unforgiven.
- The commentator feud is just really gay. Please let it end!

I thought that RAW was decent this week, but it was still pretty bad. I give it a C+ this week. I hope that the product picks up after Unforgiven (when HHH FINALLY loses the belt).

Best (Of what I've seen/bought):

- POC Boba Fett
- Han Hoth
- DFC Padme
- Tusken Raider
- SC Anakin

Worst:

The only fig I felt was really bad was the Flying R2, yet I bought it anyway (I was desperate, and I really wanted a 2003 figure ). Everything else has been top notch, IMO.

Woah... I'm in shock. This looks awesome!

I just picked this up a few minutes ago.  After opening, I noticed that the Leia had two different painted arms.  Anyone else have one like this?  

I guess mine IS that way!  I thought it was just the lighting in the picture I took of it, but they are colored differently.

As far as Leia's face/hand color goes... I think it sucks!  The rest of her looks pretty good though.

HAHAHA!!! Told you so!

*Ahem*

Actually, you could probably just paint over all of the cruddy parts. I have a feeling that's what all the customizers are going to do.

Remember that this show will only be 90 minutes because UPN has to debut some crappy show.

Spike took a NASTY and SICK bump tonight, but all of the sites are reporting that he is okay...

Anybody else notice that all of the Unforgiven matches are Gimmick matches?

RAW Review:

PROS:

- The Cage match was pretty good tonight. What happened to the "Escape Only" rules?
- Lance Storm was finally allowed to wrestle.
- The ending segment with Goldberg and Evolution was also pretty good.
- "JR The Hutt"

CONS:

- Austin's speech was boring and repetitive (Beer talk, interuption, stunner, more beer).
- The 10 Man Tag match was a clusterf***. Spike took a bump, and I hope the Frenchies are punished for it. Mark Henry looks like he was also injured (again).
- Announcer feud is kind of boring.
- The mystery partners weren't much of a mystery. I was at least expecting HBK to run in at the end and save Goldberg.
- Test/Steiner feud. Hopefully this will end once and for all at Unforgiven.

As you can see, WWE did a lousy job of trying to compete with the NFL. I'll give RAW a C+ for a decent, but not good, show.
