Raw had an amazing ending tonight. However, it was hampered (in my opinion) by two lingering segments that just felt...long and unexciting.
The Diva match seemed to last longer than it was supposed to with many mistakes and just general sloppiness. Throw in the crowd not giving a darn and Ashley nearly re-injuring herself on her first night back and I couldn't wait for it to end. JR even began razzing the match. The whole thing just felt unprofessional and undeserving of TV time.
The JBL/Jericho segment was just long, and long, and long. Snitsky basically disappears when no longer needed and JBL proceeds to drag Jericho around with a microphone cord around his neck for an irritating amount of time, concluding with the near-hanging of Y2J. It was slow paced and not riveting at all. Even JR and King sounded bored. It made me care less about the feud instead of more.
So, which of these two segments did you find the most awkward. In honesty, I'd go with JBL/Jericho because their feud feels really lackluster and JBL huffing and puffing while trying to look evil took away whatever momentum the segment had. I thought he was supposed to be prepared to return to the ring? It sure didn't look like it tonight. Throw in the numerous times where it was obvious that Jericho could have escaped from the "dreaded" cord and it was just a blah feeling.

I would say Divas because of all the mistakes but atleast then, you still get to see Mickie and Maria.

During the Jericho/JBL thing I started watching Sunday's episode of The Simpsons.

I vote for the Divas thing. It was just bad, and didn't really build on anything. At least with the JBL & Y2J thing, it was....yeah., whatever it was.

It really hasn't been nearly as good as I'd hoped.

I felt the diva segment was worse overall, but ackward is not a word I'd use to describe it.

JBL has a powerful personality, otherwise his feud with Y2J wouldn't have much traction.

Guys JBL/Jericho was GREAT it needed to last long so JBL could get over with (I hate to say it) Raw crowd. Most of us watch all three brands but there are people out there who don't, and especially only watch raw. That segment with JBL damn near killing Jericho was absolutely needed to put JBL over as a member of the raw roster.
Plus the pillow fight might have been the worst thing in wwe history.

I would have to say the end of the Strange Bedfellows match was the most awkward moment of Raw. Kennedy friggin' dry humped Murdoch.

I always liked JBL as an announcer but find him boring wrestling. Y2J is back to his mid-card form. Yeah, This feud has done nothing for me.

The diva pillow fight thing was just embarrassing. Other than Mickie, they didn't even look good, and they used team work despite the fact that it was a everyone for themselves match. Plus that suck ass powerbomb, and Melina not getting to do the splits... Yuck. |

I actually liked the JBL/Jericho thing. It's came across like he was trying to seriously hurt Jericho, instead of just a hit and run. It helped JBL look cold blooded.
Though, it would of worked better if they did the "Hung over the ring ropes" spot, since that would of been quicker.
