If Michael came on and got everyone fighting each other, I'd mark like a schoolgirl. Micheal: When you have 2 main eventers going into a major PPV, a good way to mess with them is to make them Tag Champions. Get them fighting. Make them get along. Make them have to co-operate. Next, Micheal makes Bruce Campbell the special guest referee. Yes Yes Yes Yes YEEEESSSSSSSS!!!

This was a great show, the ending wasn't that bad.

They didn't BURY anybody. They lost to two guys who's league they aren't in. I'm sorry, but you didn't see this coming? It DOES suck that they're doing this seemingly twice yearly recycled angle with OMG WE HATE EACH OTHER, BUT WE'RE CHAMPS! bit. Hopefully the Raw before Summerslam GenNext gets the belts back. I'm not worried. If Cena/Michaels was anything to go by, they'll have their match and lose the tag titles on the next RAW in a battle royal. But they don't hate each other. They just mildly dislike each other and would rather compete for the World title than against each other.

My Thoughts on RAW
Opening Segment: Adamle was pretty bad but,was getting through it. JBL and Jeriucho just made it a huge clusterf*** even though coming out made sense.
Kofi Kingston vs. Paul Burchill:
Pretty good match. I wisdh these two could get more time though. I wonder if this feud will continue or someone else with face Kofi.
Mickie James vs. Katie Lea:
Ok Diva's match. I wish these two had more time too but, it looks like they won't have chance with Beth back in the titel hunt. Which I don't have problem with because Beth is one of the best Diva's.
Beth/Santino/Adamle Backstage:
I thought this was funny segment and I love the idea of both the IC and Women's titles on the line in a tag match. I like WWE doing something different. Plus it gets Santino, the IC title and the Women's title on a PPV which helps the titles.
Regal/Noble Fight:
When they have a match it should be awesome even if short because of the stiffness that will happen.
Chris Jericho and JBL vs. CM Punk:
First not really digging Jericho's new look but, I'll give it a chance. Now on to the match. It was kind of sloppy but,still pretty good. I thought the ending even with Punk getting pin was great becasue I was pretty sure they were going to have the clock run out and have triple threat which would have been fine but, I'm glad the had finish to this match. Now hopefully Punk beats JBL clean because if JBL wins it will be complete b*******. Now with that being said I see Punk winning.
HBK Interview:
Short but, good and I woinder who will show up during his annoucment at SS? I bet right before HBK say what the Doc said Jericho will come out and say yes we already know what the Doc said, he said your out HBK says actually your wrong *pause* SCM on Jericho.
Matt Striker vs. Kane:
Sqaush! Kane's promo after was good and help move the story along and I bet he interrupts something maybe Cena/Tista when he comes out all decked out in old school Kane gear.
Cena Promo:
Why does he have to be sooooooooo over the top. He cuts a solid promo when serious but, ruins it by going over the top.
Kelly Kelly/Adamle Backstage:
Kane + Adamle next week ='s CHOKESLAM!
Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase vs. John Cena and Batista:
Solid match with Rhodes and DiBiase looking good BUT, Rhodes and DiBiase didin't need to lose the belt or should I say Tista and Cena didn't need the belts. There match was big enough and in my opinion having them win the titles me very little if anything at all. I hope Rhodes and DiBiase get the belt back next week. Now with that being say I think the pop off was kind of cool at the end.
Overall Grade: B/B+. Not great matches but, overall a solid show.

Lol, it's not like he was actually booking it - his bits and the actual matches he announced were quite good. It's just the way they ended that were bad. You can hardly blame him for that! How can I put this... they booked RAW and made it more inline with what a GM would do and Adamle is that GM. I am sick of all of this standard, worn out, crap. Add in the fact that Adamle is the worst person on a WWE roster and it only adds to my hatred of the show. The show went from fun, to crap. Eh, he managed to be entertaining to me. But I'll watch it back later to properly assess it. I'd suggest if you're not a fan of these GM storylines to be patient. I doubt we've seen the last of anarchy as I still expect more swerves to come in terms of what has happened to Vince. You don't expect him to have retired his TV character that easily do you? Also I doubt Kane will be too happy about Mike interfering with his bag. But in the longer run the anarchy storyline was never going to last forever. I expect some of it to permeate right up to Survivor Series though. They did some predictable stuff at the end of this show, but there's still enough of a glimmer there to keep me excited.

This show continued the 'good Raw' streak that I feel has been going on since KOTR. (With the exception being the first Million Dollar Mania, which sucked)
Every week I tune in now, and there is either a story that begins, or a logical progression of an existing story. Simple but effective stuff.
I like Adamle as the GM. He is technically the heel, but he doesn't act like the heel. The matches 'he' books aren't heel type matches. They are simply matches that are supposed to intrigue the audience, because Adamle is trying to defy his critiques. The tag match he booked for Summerslam and the handicap match were the kind of creative booking akin to 2000 with the different titles being on the line in the same match, and many different possibilities coming with the result of the time limit.
I'm liking Jericho's complete shedding of anything that reminds him of Y2J. I know a complete an utter Jericho mark he thinks he should be champion all the time that says that he's not liking what Jericho has turned into. Mission very much accomplished.
Bit sad that Regal is now right down the card interacting with Noble, considering how far he has fallen, but I guess he will need to work his way up again.
Loved the main event. The result doesn't matter. It doesn't bury Team Priceless at all.
