I caught bits and pieces of Raw while commercials were on during the Home Run Derby. I was pretty unimpressed how the "Anonymous RAW GM's" email was pre-printed and Cole simply read from the paper. At least in the past it was an actual email.

In the past it was Notepad.

Raw was awful!

Backlund was only good thing, a walk down memory lane there

I was disappointed at the crowd when he came out. Nothing compared to his Royal Rumble entry twelve years ago (no surprised JR commentary either)...

I agree Raw wasn't great, but everyone is putting too much on the reveal of Hornswoggle. There would have been complaining no matter what they did.

Now, if they have someone like Jericho now pick on Hornswoggle because of what he did to Jericho as GM, that would mean the storyline went somewhere.

No, nothing good can come from Hornswoggle unless you are under the age of 8. Seriously, the guy is useless. I hate saying that, but I have never even cracked a smile at him in his "comedy" bits. I am fairly positive that the majority of adults will agree with me. WWE could find much better roles to put him in, but it doesn't look like that is going to happen. Sure, no matter who they picked as the GM would have received some heat, but of all people...come on.

Monday Night Raw - 7-09-2012

Bob Backlund on the ring - Completely embarrassing and unnecessary.

Hornswoggle as the RAW GM - Very stupid and ridiculous. I expected someone like Rick Flair. That was not even funny.

The AJ love triangle is really getting boring.

Seriously, what ever happened to good story writing? Where are those geniuses writers from the attitude era at?

The WWE is sinking faster than the Titanic. Every week I lose more and more interest in it. It simply sucks.

Yeah, it's starting to get to the point where I might end up going back to watching TNA full-time. I'm praying that the recent shows have been made deliberately crap so that the good stuff comes out on the 1,000th episode in a fortnight.

If the WWE wants to be #1 again, they need to do a few adjustments to their programming, and please feel free to tell me if you agree or disagree with this:

1. Bring Rick Flair or Stone Cold Steve Austin as the GM of RAW.

2. Bring Edge as the GM of Smackdown

3. Get rid of Hornswoogle....please.

4. Bring back The Boogeyman. He was awesome and scary.

5. Bring back Batista, Goldberg, Tommy Dreamer, Sabu, Sting and The Sandman.

6. Get rid of the damn PG-13 crap and start flipping fingers again. Enough of that kiddie bullshi....

7. Get rid of the stupid Divas that can't wrestle. I had enough of them personally. As much as I like Kelly, Kelly, sorry but the bitch can't wrestle.

8. Get rid of those idiot writers they have and hire or bring back the Attitude Era writers.

What you've posted is on the dream lists of a lot of marks out there (including mine), but unfortunately, there's not much chance of any of those happening...

1. Bring Ric Flair or Stone Cold Steve Austin as the GM of RAW.

Now there may be a good chance of Ric Flair returning, seeing as he's touring the indie circuit now (a couple of days ago, he got announced for a JCW ((Juggalo Championship Wrestling; yes the one run by Insane Clown Posse)) show). Not sure about Stone Cold though. I get the feeling he's done with wrestling now and just wants to enjoy his retirement at his ranch.

2. Bring Edge as the GM of Smackdown

Possible, but don't forget this is the WWE creative team we're talking about here. We can't even remember the last time they made a great creative decision.

3. Get rid of Hornswoogle....please.

The only way I could see him being kicked out is if some skit involving him provoked the fury of some midget group, and they pressured WWE to take him off TV; similar to what happened to Muhammad Hassan.

4. Bring back The Boogeyman. He was awesome and scary.

I loved him too when he around. I'm not holding out hope on him returning though, as we don't know why he got released the last time around. They could be some bad blood between him and the company.

5. Bring back Batista, Goldberg, Tommy Dreamer, Sabu, Sting and The Sandman.

No to Batista; I got bored of him a long time ago (and he left WWE because he didn't like the direction they were going in, so don't expect him back any time soon). Yes to the others; especially Sting. If only they could set him up vs. The Undertaker at a WrestleMania!

6. Get rid of the damn PG-13 crap and start flipping fingers again. Enough of that kiddie bullshi....

This definitely will not happen, due to Linda McMahon. WWE originally went PG due to Linda running for US senate (which she thankfully lost), so that critics couldn't use WWE to ruin her image. It failed. Nothing's gonna change any time soon, as she's running for senate again this year.

7. Get rid of the stupid Divas that can't wrestle. I had enough of them personally. As much as I like Kelly, Kelly, sorry but the bitch can't wrestle.

Agree 100%, but sadly, they're the eye candy of the company, so they're going nowhere (well, except maybe Kelly Kelly; I've heard rumours she's thinking about leaving soon).

You do know that Vince Russo and Ed Ferrara were the main Attitude Era writers right? Yeah they had Vince McMahon as a filter, but they wrote pretty much everything.

The primary problem with WWE is that they have gotten too big and have way too much programming. Not having true competition is a leading factor as well.

100% disagree. Guy is a legend - a real legend - and he was in great shape for nearly 63 years old - as opposed to Ric Flair.

yeah I agree, the guy looked like he could go for another title run :D

I was also wondering about the Big Show DQ. Who's writing these finishes? Surely even the guys in the match could have said something.

That reminded me of a WCW finish when it happened.

There's quite a lot of them around.

    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know The ONLY thing I need to know is the price, which I know will be way higher than I (and most people) are willing to pay for a phone... so basically nothing here I need to know. PS: Nice job getting that Apple reference to a non-existent and unrevealed product as "competition" in there. Cheque is in the mail.
    • Well I really think the repasting helped if your higher clocks have returned, maybe the next thing to look at is if there is a problem with your case airflow? I guess this because your 3080 has returned to optimal state, but is still staying too warm, which might suggest it was thermal throttling before you repasted, of which the only logical conclusion could be outside factors.
    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know by Hamid Ganji Galaxy Z Fold 7 - Image via Samsung The next generation of Samsung foldables is set to be unveiled next month at the second Unpacked event of the year. Samsung’s 2026 foldables are not expected to offer significant upgrades over their predecessors, with the Korean firm instead focusing on design refinements and conventional upgrades such as faster processors and better cameras. However, Samsung is reportedly planning to unveil an all-new passport-style foldable this year to rival Apple’s first foldable iPhone, which is expected to debut this September. Here’s a roundup of everything we know about Samsung’s upcoming foldable devices ahead of their official debut. When can we expect Samsung’s new foldables? The Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 series were unveiled in July, and Samsung is expected to maintain this timeframe in 2026. Based on previous reports from Korean sources, Samsung will hold its Unpacked event on July 22 in London, UK, to pull back the curtain on the Galaxy Z Fold 8 series. The devices are also expected to hit the shelves a few weeks after launch. However, Samsung has yet to announce an official date. A new naming scheme? One of the most interesting changes we might see this year is a new naming scheme for Samsung’s latest foldables. SamMobile reported that since Samsung is expected to unveil three foldables this year, it has adopted a new naming strategy to simplify product identification for customers. Accordingly, the standard Galaxy Z Fold 8 will reportedly be called the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and will serve as the direct successor to last year’s Galaxy Z Fold 7. The “Ultra” suffix suggests the phone could feature higher-end specifications, such as additional rear camera modules. Samsung’s new passport-style foldable is expected to carry the Galaxy Z Fold 8 name without any suffix. This model is reportedly equipped with two rear cameras. No major changes are expected for the Flip model. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 anticipated specs Rumors over the past few months suggest Samsung is preparing several upgrades for its upcoming foldables, although the devices may continue to rely on larger batteries and faster charging speeds rather than dramatic design changes. The primary focus this year is expected to be the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and its wide-screen design. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here are the anticipated specifications for the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra based on previous leaks: 6.5-inch outer display and 8-inch inner display, 120Hz refresh rate, and 2,600 nits peak brightness Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, paired with 12GB or 16GB of RAM and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB of storage 4.1mm thickness when unfolded and a weight of 210g 200MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, 10MP or 12MP telephoto camera, 10MP cover camera, and 10MP selfie camera 5,000mAh battery with 45W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 As for the Galaxy Z Flip 8, the device is not expected to be a major departure from its predecessor, although it could become slightly slimmer. Expected specifications include: Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 or Exynos 2600 processor 12GB of RAM with 256GB and 512GB storage options 6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X inner dispaly and 4.1-inch Super AMOLED outer dispaly 50MP main camera, 12MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera 4,300mAh battery with 25W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 Samsung’s foldables are also expected to launch with Gemini Intelligence, Google’s AI suite for automating tasks in Android ecosystem. Moreover, given current memory and component costs, some Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 variants could see a price hike. Galaxy Z Fold 8 adopts a wide-screen design The centerpiece of the upcoming Unpacked event could be the Galaxy Z Fold 8, previously rumored as the Galaxy Z Fold Wide. This model adopts a passport-style form factor and is expected to compete directly with Apple’s iPhone Fold. Galaxy Z Fold 8 official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here’s what to expect: 7.6-inch primary OLED display and 5.4-inch cover display, 120Hz refresh rate, 2,600 nits peak brightness, and 4:3 aspect ratio Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, 12GB or 16GB of RAM, and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB storage options 4,800mAh battery with 45W wired charging 50MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera Android 17 and One UI 9 The three new foldable phones are unlikely to be the only devices unveiled at Samsung’s Unpacked event. The company is also expected to introduce the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 and the Galaxy Watch 9 series.
