WWE is pretty much the reason we all know each other. OO was our meeting place and we came their for wrestling. That might not be why you're on this board, but we all know how much of an impact WWE has had on our lives. That said, wrestling's always been called "the male soap opera" and it's so true. Come on, we've seen everything on Raw. From live sex acts to HHH marrying Stephanie, we've seen it all. Everyone plays a character or at least a caricature of themselves. Just like a regular drama, it has its highs (Austin 3:16 and the Rock), its lows (Vince blowing himself up in a limo) and its just plain uglies (Katie Vick. Nuff said).

Highlander was Solly's, again. Let him explaniate that one.

Highlander wasn't mine

[Courtney]

Sorry, thought it was. Actually, it was nominated by Dev and Lucky. So yeah guys, get in here and make a case.

[Lucky]

Meh, I don't care all that much about it. It was kinda fun when I watched it in syndication. Never even really watched the movies. Show was kinda fun. A weird new character every week, a swordfight every week, some funky flashbacks, hot chicks, and Kansas playing everytime someone dies was always so funny to me. To this day when someone I love dies I think there is a moment where "Dust In the Wind" plays in my head and I laugh.

Raw... just isn't very good. Its had good "seasons." Its had good runs of seasons. In the middle of bad seasons there have been good episodes. In the middle of bad episodes there have been good scenes and characters. But there's no fucking way I'd stick with a narrative show that sucked as much as RAW has over the last 20 years and that is so horribly inconsistent and phones it in half the time.

Highlander was just filling out my noms because really, this is a shallow pool and half the shit in it I've never seen or hate. But RAW was just a joke add for me to give me 15. I can't say I care but Highlander struck me basically as a better show, even if RAW catered to a hobby I enjoyed more.

As I have seen about 4 of the shows in this showdown, I will vote for the least popular in each bracket.
