I thought it was a great, solid episode of Raw. Stone Cold and Punk interaction was amazing. Truth was great, as he has been every week since the heel turn. Austin was great as GM (makes me wish he could be there every week to do it)

How did that whole Ryder Revolution work out for you guys? HAHA Apparently so well that WWE pulled Ryder off Raw because he got such a warm welcome and they feared that crowd putting him over on national television. And where did you get this news? Probably just some dirt sheet writer trying to make allegations to make more people anti-WWE.

A bit generic, but what was good was REALLY good (Stone Cold, Orton/Christian, Punk/Cena/Truth, Big Show & Kane/Del Rio & Ricardo), and what was bad was REALLY bad (Jobber entrances, short Matches, Stone Cold announcing Viewers Choice 2 and not doing something long-term about the GM, Cole coming right back as a heel trying to shill an over-priced PPV).
Miz/Riley/Piper was fun, but nothing amazing. Riley is WWE's next big babyface star, and I'm glad, as he's very enjoyable. He needs to work on his tone as a face, but other than that, all good. Divas was only good for eye candy and AJ & Kaitlyn getting a win in their RAW debuts. The RAW Mid-card Tag Match was whatever, though Bourne's SSP is more amazing, each week. Oh, and why was Booker T out there for the last two hours? Dumb. Booker was actually okay (probably because Vince was on his ass more than usual, since it was RAW), but I could do without him calling Matches. It was All-Star night, which would have been perfect for Booker to wrestle. Get rid of Booker and Cole, for God's sake. Josh Mathews and King are good enough together, and since I doubt a JR return is possible, just put Josh on RAW and put Stanford or Grisham on SmackDown with Striker.
Overall, slightly above average RAW, only because of the amazing work, mostly by Stone Cold. He and Punk's promo was gold and shall live on forever, thanks to the Internet.

Anything to keep you Ryder fans from crying yourselves to sleep tonight.

A few things I was disappointed in were the extremely fast 6 man tag match that Dibiase didn't even get in on, then Morrison didn't wrestle his match because of Buckwheat, then that joke of a divas segment (although I do think Kelly Kelly did pretty good). Also, all the matches were SO short. The commercial breaks and promos for shows were longer than some of the matches. Also, CM Punk and Austin WERE IN THE SAME BUILDING AND ALL THEY COULD THINK OF WAS AUSTIN OFFERING CM PUNK A BEER AND SHOT!!!!! ? CM Punk was right for sure when he said WWE would misuse this opportunity.

What should they have done with Punk and Austin?

Also the Kofi Bourne Dolph Swagger match was cool, its like literally looking at the main event card in 5 years.

Probably just some dirt sheet writer trying to make allegations to make more people anti-WWE. The fact Ryder was booked against Bourne on the program and Ryder had a match on superstars where he received overwhelming welcome would lead one to believe maybe they decided the crowd was too hot tonight to put some "no name" on TV and make him look better than everyone on the roster. Not saying he is, I'm stating that the crowd would have put him over as such.

Nevermind about anything with Austin, seeing CM Punk get the win all on his own over John Cena without the help of Nexus was better than anything that could have happened with Austin. Sure R Truth was out in the crowd looking for a hat to cover up his buckwheat haircut but I don't think that made a difference.

What was the original plan for the tag match with Bourne then since they obviously took someone out and put Bourne in since he didn't have a match with Ryder.

Raw was excellent, I thought. Especially Stone Cold. And his segment with Punk....man was I marking the whole time. That match NEEDS to happen.
But seriously...having no Ryder is just stupid by WWE. Why not have him face Sheamus instead of Santino? Give him a quick promo saying he wants revenge for that WWE Title match of theirs from a while ago. Sheamus still could have gone over with his new submission finisher, but atleast give Ryder some TV time, especially in an arena he is clearly very over in.

Very solid & entertaining RAW.
Stone Cold Steve Austin still is the most entertaining WWE Superstar ever. SEriously every time that man is in the ring it's something great. The opening segment with Miz was just awesome. The backstage promo with Punk was one of the greatest things I have ever seen. I get chills thinking about a Punk v. Austin feud. THAT is the definition of "dream match"
Overall some great wrestling matches last night. Punk going over Cena was shocking & amazingly good. Perhaps they are setting something up, and trying to convince Punk to stick around for the long haul. I hope so, I don't know if I can handle the WWE without CM Punk.

I thought it was a very good Raw. Stone Cold was great, Piper, R-Truth, Miz, Punk. It was all pretty entertaining. Good show.

Just cause he's black doesn't mean he looks like Buckwheat.

There were only two that went more than five minutes, and one had a commercial right before the finish. I'm not sure any of the Matches besides maybe Punk/Cena could be called "great".

I was going to say, almost every match seemed rushed for a three hour show. Anyway, I enjoyed tonight's Raw, even though the matches lacked good time length, I enjoyed it. Truth gets better every week. Surprised to see Morrison return this week, sucks his match against Truth never happened, but it did give more awesome Truth quotes. Piper was great, never disappointed with him. Austin/Punk backstage promo was the highlight of the night for sure though, would be an awesome feud if Austin could do it.

I thought last night was a success, because to me at least it really felt like an All-Star night. Some matches could have been a bit longer though, especially the 6-man tag.

anybody else sick of this anonymous GM crap? It's been going on for about a year now, I love the suspense, but damn, I'm ready to know who it is, and I don't even know who the GM even is.
