(www.PlaytimeCares.com) - Tables, Ladders and Chairs (TLC) Pay Per View (PPV) is 6 days away, and the WWE writers truly needed to get something going to sale this event.  They definitely did a great job of starting the show by bringing in an old ECW and WWE alumni into the fray.  This RAW was slightly above average and did a little better in getting people interested in the upcoming PPV.


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:
