Raw Thoughts 09/07/09

Quick thoughts on The Price is Raw:

-I would never have thought of Chris Master's hairplugs if Triple H wasn't kind enough to mention them.
-No women's match this week. That's probably for the best as it's been kind of rough and sloppy of late.
-Do celebrities realize that wrestling fans are traditionally super cheap and will never buy their products? Jeremy Piven's The Goods bombed big. I can't imagine a wrestling fan buying a Bob Barker book no matter how interesting it is. If you don't believe me, Jim Ross won't even show WWE PPV's at his restaurants because he's sick of fans sitting at a table for 3 hours and only ordering 1 soda.
-Batista has a "career-altering" announcement for Raw next Monday. That and Trish Stratus should be a good hook for the fans, but besides a legit retirement, I don't know what they can do to pay off the sitaution fully
-The post match angle was super long. A submission match only PPV sounds pretty bland and contrived. I like trying to make the PPV's feel special like Night of Champions, but storyline dictates that there shouldn't be a way to force everyone to want to wrestle in submission grudge matches just because it's September.
