    Re: Ok that\'s it. I am boycotting RAW!

    I think you're missing the point of that segment. Nowinski's character is this snobbish intellectual who thinks he knows everything so by having him be against the war in Iraq was one of those intellectual snobs=unpatriotic types.

    It also gives Steiner instant face reactions which is much better then the tepid fan reaction that he's been getting lately.

    Overall I thought the show was good but there's something developing that could turn me off on the RAW brand and that's the heavy influence of cliq storylines. I have a bad feeling that sometime after Backlash that all the cliq members will be together again as an on-screen stable. That to me would be nauseating to watch.

        You hit the nail in the coffin. Steiner's wrestling is stale but he is somewhat good on the mic. He needed this to get more face reaction. Critical fans may not think the war should be included in a wrestling show but just think about it, it works. If your character opposes the war then you're going to get major heel heat. And if you oppose this guy then you're going to get a major face reaction. And that's what they're going for here.

            Did he magically become tolerable on the mic from the last time I saw him? He has WCW mic skills...it's basically the difference between an auctioneer and a bingo caller.

            That's to say, the difference is more wide than narrow.

            Also, the script was intended to be more comedic, but got changed. The execs are against making Scott into a more comedic character, due to the money they paid for his services. But, he's said to be all for it, and loves the idea, so we'll see (I can't go into more details, I apologize).
