Oh Kane you lucky bastard. IDK why but im interested to see where that storyline goes. I wonder if who ever wins Sunday in the triple threat will get AJ?

That was an awesome Raw. The Sheamus match was really good, Tensai put on a good match since it wasn't a squash. Ziggler proving again why he deserves a top spot, that was another good match once Khali was taken out. Sin Caras match was the usual, I just don't see where they're planning on taking him, maybe he'll just do this forever and sell merch to kids? Ryback vs 2 jobbers was just awful, it needs to stop. The guy might be entertaining given an actual opponent, like Tensai was. VADER!!!!!!!!!!! his match was so good, my jaw dropped when his music hit, it was like watching Raw back in 97. And then the CM Punk match was another good one, the storyline is perfect right now, I have no idea where it could go but in a good way where I'm actually guessing.
And for anyone that didn't like the ending.... it didn't involve any commentators being covered in BBQ sauce so I'm fine with it.

Only seen the last part for now, They should never show a repeat of that ending. But the one they did use was shaky enough and at a good enough angle to work.
Knew Vince would get hurt...

Considering the injuries/suspensions it was a good show and I am excited for NWO.

Good show, ruined by that inevitable moment where Laurinaitis doesn't get fired.
Seriously, he is a total joke.

Hated that Christian lost, although knew he wouldn't win.

I was at RAW tonight, and what an awesome experience, been a fan since 95-96 and this was my first live show. Cant wait to watch it tomorrow and see if the crowd came off as loud as it actually was. I'll just say you guys last night, did the rest of us CT fans proud.

That is what RAW should be like. Not like last week were I fastforward through the vast majority of it. The best part of last night wasn't the kiss. It was after the kiss where Kane was simply "I'm Out", and left. Vader was cool to.

Didnt really think much of Raw..enjoyed Vaders return..sheamus and tensai was good...other than that i thought it was weak. AJ is just horrible to watch. Enjoyed Daniel Bryans promo. I expected better this week.

In my opinion, WWE had to show us viewers why the change to 3 hours would be good. The show on Monday was okay, but I was not really into it. As Punk said on Twitter, "Too Much Talking, Not Enough Rasslin".

Quick thoughts this time. Opening promo was very good. Sheamus vs. Tensai was probably the best Tensai match yet . . . not really a compliment considering I don't like Tensai at all. The Punk/Bryan/Kane promo was pretty good, especially Punk's part. The Fatal Four Way elimination was awesome. Really loved the series of moves between Christian and Swagger before Swagger's elimination. I'm not a Swagger fan but a feud between the two could be sweet. Dolph winning was predictable but for good reason and it's definitely tempting me to spend my money on getting No Way Out.
Ryback and Cara's matches were entertaining, Ryback needs to at least move on to three at once or the card level opponents Cara is facing. Steel Cage was decent. It was good in the fact that it achieved everything it set out to but it kind of sucked in entertaining me, it had it's moment though. Vader's match was terrible. The coolness of seeing him doesn't last when the match provided didn't really deliver. The idea of bringing people back in the upcoming weeks is an awesome one though.
The main event was decent. Didn't care that Bryan got beaten by the elbow drop or that he didn't get his hands on AJ and I don't know, suplex her? I mean, I wasn't expecting her to actually receive any damage but for me it would've been nice. As for what she actually ended up doing, it was alright. Didn't gain a reaction out of me honestly, I just watched it and was like "Eh, okay". As for the final promo, really liked John Cena here but that's about it. Going to get pissed if John L. isn't fired at No Way Out. Partially because I'm sick of him and partially because if they don't I'm going to have to deal with this whole cocktease of firing him again. They've been doing this since the Rumble basically, I'm sick of it. If they need a heel GM, I'd go with Eve (even though I want her back in the ring).
I saved the crap for last. The Santino/Ricardo parts of the mix tag stunk. There were two moments that should've been funny but just didn't get a chuckle out of me. I don't know why, I guess Santino has gotten to the point where he sucks any enjoyment I could have in a segment. No, I did laugh when he interviewed Sandow on Foreign Exchange (Sandow made me laugh, not Santino). But that wasn't nearly bad, those segments with Vince, pretty much every second of them were terrible. The dancing thing was painful to watch. Although I did get a chuckle out of Regal's appearance.

Eve would make for a much better Heel GM than Laurinaitis. She'd be way, way nicer to look at, she'd be able to string sentences together, and she wouldn't look completely vacanct all the time. Honestly, every time Laurinaitis is on screen it looks like the lights are on but nobody is home.

I don't think he's got a single redeeming quality about him. I can't wait for the day that he's no longer on TV.
