It was a volcanic edition of Monday Night Raw tonight, or should that be, Monday Night SmackDown featuring Triple H? But what was your favorite match of tonight's SmackDown! heavy edition of RAW? Make your pick and cast your vote right now! Don't forget to look for the NXT, Superstars, and SmackDown! polls this week as well.

Taker/Swagger was a surprisingly good match, so that gets my vote.

Really enjoyed Taker/Swagger. Thought they did a great job of making Swagger look legit.

Taker/Swagger was a surprisingly good match, so that gets my vote. Why is that so surprising? Because Swagger suck and Taker looked pretty hurt but Taker dragged the match to being a 3 star match. But honestly wrestling wise this show didn't have much, I thought it was very entertaining especially the MacGruber stuff with R-Truth and "Khluber" but looking it in pure wrestling lens none of the matches were that great and Taker/Swagger wins by default.

Taker/Swagger was a surprisingly good match, so that gets my vote. Why is that so surprising? Because Taker is getting old and his great matches these days are few and far between, and what I've seen from Swagger so far has given me no indication that he's anything special. Also considering that this match was obviously made on short notice, I really didn't have high expectations.

You can say whatever you wants to say about swagger outside of the ring.But dont dare to say he "suck" in the ring! I think saying "taker carried all the match lol" its typicla of blind haters.its not hard to hate someone but admit he is good at something

He has no in ring psychology and just because he was a amateur wrestler dosen't make him a good professional wrestler. He has no personality and has no way to make people care what he's doing in the ring. Wrestling isn't so much about doing cool moves or being amazing on the mic it's about making people want pay money to either see you lose or win, Chris Benoit was terrible on the mic but people paid to see him because he was able to have amazing matches. Swagger just doesn't have it every thing about from his theme music to his lisp and to his wrestling does nothing for me, it looks like he tries too hard and I can't see him ever being great and I do not want to pay to see him and in no way should he be the World Champion.

I see,im NOT going to say"Your opnion is wrong"But you at least must give credit for the guy for having a good match.Im not saying you should say he is great.But its not like because he had a good match,his opponent made everything,because it isnt true.

Didn't see Fatt Hardy vs. Mr. Boring. Taker vs. Thwagger was decent. MacGruber & "Khalubra" vs. The Koz was stupid. 6-Man was predictable as all Hell, MI.
I'll go with the 'Taker match.

All I'm saying is Taker did alot to make that match look good, Swagger did some nice spots and he isn't a horrible wrestler but like I said he looked a little lost a few times and maybe Swagger could be good eventually but right now in my eyes he is still very green and just not ready to be champion, so I guess I'm not exactly thrilled seeing him. I guess like Orton in 2003-2004 and right now I view Orton as maybe the best wrestler they have so we'll see if it could get to that level. But my main problem with Swagger is he dosen't seem to know what his character is and to be main event you need to know that and he needs is have an established character, to be better at ring psychology and have maybe a couple other moves other than the Gutwrench Powerbomb that look cool and than I can take him seriously since I'd put almost the entire WWE roster over Swagger right now.

Sorry but whenever Swagger or the Miz have a long one on one match they just bore me it's like they don't think at all or they don't know what to do in a long match, I mean they have crap finishers, to make matters worse. They have no in ring psychology. They have no personality and make the fans go for a piss break when their music hits. Wrestling isn't so much about doing cool moves or being amazing on the mic it's about making people want pay money to either see you lose or win, Chris Benoit was terrible on the mic but people paid to see him because he was able to have amazing matches. Miz and Swagger just don't have it every thing about them from their theme music to their garbage promos and to their wrestling does nothing for me, it looks like they don't give a damn and there's no way in Hell they'll ever be great and I will never, even under threat of death, pay to see them and in no way should they even have jobs in the WWE or any other wrestling company. fixed only because i'm too damn lazy to write my own comment. the edited views shown above are the sole opinion of this particular barnacle and nobody else's.

I see,soryr if i misunderstood then.I just hate when people dont give credit for a wrestler work because they dont like him.Its unfair of their parts.So my bad,i just tought you meant something else.Of course i do not agree with everythimg,but you make great valid points.

My reaction when the Matt Hardy/Drew match endged: "What the f*** was that?"
Taker/Swagger was good. I liked it.

Personally thought Swagger should have pulled some shenanigans to get at least DQ'd but on such a light ass show match wise, definitely the best.

Swagger/'Taker - even if the result was all wrong, it was a good match.
The 6-man was dominated by the faces, which isn't how they should be booked, McIntyre/Hardy was a typically nothing match with a crap ending, and that MacGruber/Kozlov abomination was...exactly that.

I stopped watching after Undertaker / Swagger, but it says a lot that I saw two matches and a McIntyre squash was the better one.
Not solely a backlash against the ending either. I thought it was a really slow, really boring match that did nothing for anybody.
