(www.PlaytimeCares.com) - The Hell in A Cell (HIAC) Pay Per View (PPV) was this Sunday and I  have seen many favorable thoughts on the show.  It was an average PPV for me and slightly memorable at best.  The next day, it is time to make moves, and from the energy of this crowd, RAW was a good showing.


Some things I still need to happen in the WWE Universe:

  1. Bring back the Cruiser Weight Division
  2. Make all the matches mean something to some sort of belt or rivalry.  
  3. Show more of the roster.  You guys recycle the same talent too much.
  4. You may wish to consider bringing the Diva's division full circle and have them with Tag Title belts, lightweight belts, etc. 
  5. The Tag Team Division is starting to look better than the singles division.  Get more people graduated from NXT and get that division showcased more. 

Here are the highlights of the show:
