The Post-Raw Thread

[DiBiase is Good]

Ok. As the original thread is about to reach 100 pages, discuss Raw here.
And for the record, I absolutely loved Raw tonight.

[The Great El' PANDA King]

'YOU TALK LIKE THEE' SESAME STREET AND BE LIKE THE COOKIE MONSTER?!'

[The Freakin' Deacon]

I thought that it started off good, then just became dull.

[The F'N Captain]

Idol was the best part, maybe tied with Flair just screaming "WOOOOOOO" at Vince.

[Chainsaw]

I was hoping we'd call this the WWE NEW YORK RAW AFTER PARTY TIME THREAD.

--Santino was great
--So was Ron Simmons
--And so was King Booker

And, uh, that's about it. And for those who expected to see Trips, Vince wants his 40 bucks first.

[Aaron E. Dangerously]

Best Raw I've seen in a while.

WWE Idol totally made it, and Cole and JBL as Hall and Oates? f***IN HILARIOUS.

[amplifierWORSHIP!]

best RAW in quite a while, i loved it.

my highlights:
Boogeyman's vocal stylings
Shiek ranting
Santino being a comedy goldmine
Umaga no-selling hot tags and Backstabbers

[drjayphd (feat. Pitbull)]

Only caught the very last line, and I believe it was a very wise and learned woman who could sum up tonight.

Get Out, (leave) right now,
It's the end of you and me
It's too late (now) and I can't wait for you to be gone
'Cause I know about her (who) and I wonder (why) how I bought all the lies
You said that you would treat me right but you was just a waste of time (waste of time)

[Kevin Hamilton]

Fun lil show. I was hoping for a HHH appearance, but other than that I got no real complaints. fun show.

[Sephiroth]

This RAW just further fuels my belief that they should do a storyline in which Linda has an affair. And since Kennedy is set for a major push from it, I think CM Punk should be her stud service. A Punk/Kennedy feud could be awesome.

[Black Hammer Rocks the AssWhip]

I enjoyed it. Who knew? And after the debacle last night from a company that remain nameless now, I'm glad.

Is this anything like Deadspin Up! All Night!? Because that would be awesome if it were.

[thepatriot]

Awesome opening promo.

The best segment in years with the WWE Idol.

And a great main event because of the fierce dueling crowd reaction..

I'm about as anti-negative WWE as they come...I have HATED the product lately...but this show rejuvenated my interest for sure!

Schools tomorrow...I'm going into it happy.

It would have been flat out godlike if Cena had lost and trips had returned, but the show was schweet.

8.5/10

[The F'N Captain]

The somewhat... apathetic... mainevent and HHH apparently being too good to return on cable television lowered it a bit.

It was better than last weeks confusingly highly praised show.

[Monster Under Your Bed]

I, too, thought it was a very nice RAW. That main event was solid. I dug it. Hopefully, they can keep the show moving forward.

[Zutroy]

Didn't look to be a good show from the spoilers so i didnt watch most of it. Caught a few bits here and there but nothing kept me interested enough to watch the whole thing.

[mysterydriver]

Cats in the Cradle for the win.

Really. Daggone.

[Chainsaw]

OK, I don't want to clog up bandwidth by starting another Raw thread, so I'll bring this up here.

Raw didn't entertain me. it had it's moments, but as a whole, it didn't impress me much. The comedy bits aren't knocking me out, and the storyline about a illegitimate McMahon...who just so happens to be a WWE wrestler...smacks of desperate, near the end of a sitcom's run type of stunt writing. Same with last week. But now, I see everyone raving about how funny Raw is, how it's the best one they've seen in a long while. But I'm not convinced.

So, what am I missing? Has WWE passed me by? Why am I wrong? Reach out to me, make me your brother.

Well I'm meh about this weeks episode. It was better than last week, but besides "WWE Idol" nothing really just clicked with me. I also got very fatigued with vignette after vignette.

I give it a 6 out of 10. A little above average, buit nothing to write home about.
