WWE's website announced this evening that a new team "Cryme Tyme" would be debuting tonight. The website noted, "In an effort to humor and entertain our fans the tag team known as Cryme Tyme will be parodying racial stereotypes. Shad Gaspard and JTG do outlandish, outrageous “stunts” to ready themselves for tag team action on RAW. This attempt at Saturday Night Live-like humor is bound to entertain audiences of all ethnic derivations."


You know, even though I know it was intentional humor, it still reeked of Vince not understanding the hip-hop crowd

What happened to Masters...

Jeff/Nitro was decent actually, first solid match on Raw in a long time.

I thought the main event was great tonight. The fact that the emphasis was more so on Cena/Edge, Orton/Carlito, and Lita/Trish made for a better than usual Raw.

This RAW was really f'n good. And to think, I almost didn't even watch it.

I was bored through 90% of it. I thought the Cryme Time skit came off surprisingly well though.

I only saw the second hour. The Cryme Tyme segment was embarassing and the way it was pulled off only makes the creative team come off as being even further from reality than before. Seriously, where does the WWE find these writers? It's like there's an island of untalented hack writers who have never met a real woman or actually watched any television or wrestling, and they keep getting picked up by this wrestling company that so badly doesn't want to be called wrestling.

I like the Cryme Time deal...............but unfortunately it comes off as incredibly racist.

But honestly, it's much better than half the shit that they've done. The only bad thing is that these guys are probably going to be faces before heels anyday of the week.

I have faith that Cryme Tyme will get over, but it's still a stupid gimmick with a stupid name. Seriously, could you imagine the reaction WWE officials would've had if someone had pitched the name "Cryme Tyme" at a meeting? It would've been laughed off, because it sounds rediculous.

I don't like the name, but I think it was brilliantly done, and I don't find it racist in the least.

It is a great satire of hip hop culture, what with the "shoutout" and all that. If all you're seeing is two black guys robbing someone, then you may be the racist.

I think it is great, and the best thing i've seen in the E in a long time.

I don't think the gimmick itself is a bad idea, I just can't stand the "Cryme Tyme" name. WWE loses points for never being able to do anything subtle.

I'll give them credit for having fun with it, but it still seems legit racism on someone's part.

Man, they can't even even do a full show with the Smackdown roster and they keep taking guys and throwing them on other shows. Great move there.

It's nice to see HHH & HBK look better than most of ECW on their own show...

It was really neat seeing RVD and Sabu win over a southern crowd.

Opening match was the best of the night, and it was nice seeing CM Punk call Moore out for being a poser. Though Moore looked like a retard cupping his hands over his face
