Harsh score, I thought it was a great show.

Lmao I was so wrong with all my predictions and rumors. Austin and Flair? lol..

Anyway I loved the opening with all members of DX (one of very few things I predicted right). Lesnar/HHH/Heyman/Steph was cool too, as was the wedding with AJ and DB. I was laughing so hard when Vince's music hit I legit thought she was marrying him.

Kinda dissapointed with Heath Slaters "payoff" it was fun to see APA and Lita back (and may I say she looked fucking hot last night) though the other legends really didn't add anything, and no Stone Cold is a massive bummer.

In the main event when Big Show came out I immidiatelly facepalmed, and all the excitement of the match was sucked right out. I was hoping for the start of a big angle at the end of that match, instead we get Big Show.. -_- he should be deported .. to somewhere .. where there is no oxygen.

Very happy with Punk's heel turn as he was getting stale as fuck as a face. I can see Rock vs Punk at RR2013, Rock wins and then we get Rock vs Cena II at WM29 (I think it's no problem for Rock to hold the title 2 months before losing it at WM29).

Overal I enjoyed most of the show, it kind of went downhill as we went along but still it was alot better than usual.

Ps; I already can't stand Tout.

One of the few clips i have seen, is the DX opening. I never read your post, so all the members being involved was a surprise to me! Loved it, great opening!

It was nice to see a lot of old faces again, but taking that out of the equation:

I thought the DX segment was lame, too long, and the only humorous thing was HHH's hair joke (WWE is only ever funny when improvising).

AJ as gm? I would have liked her to marry Daniel Bryan and they rule Raw together. She has been getting annoying, and without D-Bry I might like her less. Daniel Bryan was awesome on the other hand.

Rock is still so good.

So... rooting for Brock/Paul Heyman versus HHH/Steph.

I thought the Heath Slater segment was the best. Lita is still so hot, and that sell on the clothesline from hell was great.

Kane/Undertaker... whatever.

The main event was mediocre, but it'll be nice to see Punk go heel and - as someone mentioned before - be interesting again.

Oh yeah, kudos to WWE for Mae Young's son.

[XMW]

Completely forgot that epic headstand sell after JBL's Clothesline From Hell. Also funny to see that stupid hand-son from Mae Young and Henry lol. I never thought they'd ever bring up G-TV again after how disastrous that was.
It's cool to see WWE atleast acknowledge some plotholes (Anon GM) and old weird segments (giving birth to a hand/G-TV), I actually have a list somewhere on my pc of plotholes and mysteries in WWE/TNA/WCW like who moved the cable at KOTR1999 etc.. I can post it if someones interested lol.

Same I thought HHH and Steph were being dicks, Heyman mentions their kids in passing, no names, just says how they are a shitty example, and they randomlly go mental, but they think it's ok to say he's a parasite to his kids, hypocrites! Glad Brock came out to defend him, Brock and Paul are the superior couple!

[claud3]

Excellent show. Loved undertakers new look and DX were awsome as always

[Everyday]

actually had a great time watching last nights show, undertaker is still haunting with that music

[XMW]

He's had that look since WrestleMania 28..

Also anyone else noticed Lesnar got virtually no reaction? Probably because he's been booked so bad and weak, none of the casual fans give a damn about him anymore.

[claud3]

I never noticed the look mate. Just enjoyed the wrestling match at WM28

[DeviousOne]

It was an 8 strongly due to the ending of the show. I hope they keep the title on Punk and dont let cena go SUPER cena on him.

Lita is so hot! Damn lol I wish she was still wrestling

Also Brock is looking beastly good to see!

Good show all together the dx stuff was cool for 2 mins after it was meh

[justintheman87]

D-X all together was awesome! I miss the New Age Outlaws so much. Also WTF is up with AJ being the GM? That is by far the stupidest most dumb thing WWE could of done with that angle. Lets hire someone with no experience whatsoever and no one cares about. What an annoying, whiny, character. I wanted to turn it off once that happened.

Hopefully Punk goes back to being more rated "R", as frankly his awesomeness has been depleted as WWE caters to an audience of 5 year olds more than the ones who can legally buy the damn tickets. I am pissed.....

[DeviousOne]

I just hope Heel Punk isnt a weak heel

[Molo316]

In all honesty, I thought Raw was pretty shoddy.

I was really happy to see that Mr. Ass had come back. I thought he was all done with with WWE, so that was really good to see.

The matches themselves were nothing special. We had the same old shit with Brodus Clay winning, and not only that, squashing Jack Swagger in about thirty seconds. With his amateur background I think they should have at least made it last a few minutes.

There were no womens' matches, and we only saw one segment with the Divas champion.

AJ as the GM doesn't make sense in story, but probably realistically they just want to keep her in the spotlight as she seems so passionate about the business, and I'm all for that anyway, because I get to see her week in, week out still. And I have to say, I thought she looked beautiful last night [/soppymoment]

Lita did look amazing! At least Heath Slater can say that he's been in a ring with some of the greats. I loved seeing the old APA shirts again, but other than that, that segment fell flat on its face.

Good to see Undertaker involved, but that whole segment felt lackluster, and the crowd were rubbish!

Starting a feud with Charlie Sheen and Daniel Bryan just has fail and boredom written all over it, in my opinion.

Now literally, and I mean literally, I was pissed off with Stephanie's comments to Paul Heyman. For them to say that Vince is a greater visionary all the way ticked me off. In terms of business and staying afloat, Vince is good there. But when it comes to being visionary, Paul Heyman has foreseen some of WWE's greatest talents: Brock Lesnar, CM Punk and Stone Cold Steve Austin, to name a few! He gave Austin the chance to show his charisma in ECW, and Stone Cold then started the whole "Austin 3:16" thing off his own back, and he was luckily in WWF when he did it.
I was also pissed to see Triple H get the better of Lesnar, even though Lesnar looked more pumped than when we last saw him, and then to think that Trips is going to go over at SummerSlam made it feel even worse.
I wish Lesnar had stormed the ring faster and knocked Stephanie off the ring apron. That sounds harsh, but it really pissed me off because it's basically the Triple H and Stephanie show in reality anyway.

And I thought it was a bit weird to see The Rock react to a CM Punk clothesline at the end of the show as if he had been speared by Goldberg or something, but yeah, it was to get heat on Punk I suppose. I just hope now that his promos will be cool and standing once again, and not pandering to the people as he has been since he went proper babyface last year.

But to top it all off, I was extremely disappointed that there was no Stone Cold appearance. The only saving grace was that at least they acknowledged the great rivalry with McMahon, and acknowledged that that rivalry may very well have been the reason that Raw won the Monday Night Wars.

[DeviousOne]

No stone cold i was a little shocked to be honest

[XMW]

@ Molo; regarding your comments about Heyman and Vince .. you're right about what you said. Not only does Heyman see talent before most others do, he pretty much instigated the Attitude Era. If it wasn't for his groundbreaking and innovative hardcore style in ECW we might not have had the Attitude Era the way we did if you get what I mean..

Exactly! We may never even have had Hardcore matches, and those alone were pretty great! Not to mention the language and content of the promos. Almost each and every one during the Attitude era were great or at least caught the interest of the viewer.

[DeviousOne]

I credit Heyman for alot but hes not a great business man he should be in talent relations

[XMW]

Why isn't he a great business man?

[DeviousOne]

Being a visionary doesnt resonate into being a great business man look at the ECW great content, great wrestlers but could not monitize into a profitable venture.

he SHOULD be involved with talent relationship and development i think his talents would be best used in this role.

[claud3]

It was excellent. I hope they promote the heel turn of punk really well and not cater to the young ones
