Who else agrees? I thought it was superbly booked from start to finish. Some really heated angles on the show and great matches too. I was a bit iffy after the ending to NOC but WWE really hit a home run tonight.

I think it was a pretty bad raw but the ending made me mark out hard enough that I cannot remember why I thought it was a bad raw.
BEST RAW EVER AW YEAH

I thought the show itself varied, with a lot of highs and lows, but that ending was pretty damn satisfying.

The Corporation stuff is mostly hilarious to me, but it was worth it for the ending.

It does beg the question why the locker room didn't save Miz or Dusty, but I guess it can be explained away as them being pushed over the edge, and fighting back when it'd hurt the Corporation most, which is a decent story. That was an excellent moment when they finally came out.

I enjoyed it. The show felt fast-paced, had some great promos and matches and the main storyline is still full of steam.

That wouldn't have been half as satisfying if it had happened the week after the first beat down. That really benefited from the month of screwjobs.

The whole thing was strong, moved quickly, every segment served a purpose. Loved it. They did a pretty great job of pushing my optimism to a low point over the last month then bringing it back, FULL-FORCE!

The pay off to the feud is seeing the hated bad guys finally get trashed. That is how it works.

I was actually Psycho CM Punk to save him, but I accept this one nonetheless.

It feels better now that they got past the hump of the initial heel beatdown period after Summerslam.
Actual progress is a wonderful thing.

I enjoyed it. The triple threat tag was awesome, Ziggler/Ambrose was awesome, Truth/Fandango wasn't awful, the Divas match was entertaining just because of AJ's commentary(I didn't actually watch the match...), and the non-match segments accomplished what they needed to(even if I can't take crying Big Show seriously).
My biggest complaint was that they spent the entire first half of the main event looking at the replays from the start of the show. I get it, sell the big angle, but isn't that what the match itself was for?
But overall, I can't complain, because it was a fun show.

I got pretty bored with Raw after the first hour. Not even Bryan in the main event again could keep me excited.

I enjoyed it, yes.
I enjoy most everything WWE is doing right now because it all kinda seems to tie together.
Except the Divas shit...that's just cross promo shilling at its worst.
And the Punk/Heyman stuff (though I do love Punk...and Heyman for that matter)...it seems to exist to get MOAR heat on Paul by..well...you know.

I truly don't understand why Ryder was there as opposed to say, Santino, but I'm not complaining.
I'm kind of hoping this becomes a ridiculously big stable.

Oh...I forgot to mention the Wyatt Family. Hey don't tie into any of it. But they don't have to cause its so damn great it can thrive on its own as far as I'm concerned.

I think they are perhaps doing too many dark and upsetting angles in one show. They are going for a sort of 1980s NWA vibe here (complete with Dusty beatdown no less). Thing is, the NWA maybe did that stuff once in a while to set up a major angle, not 3 times in the course of a show.
I don't know why Punk would get involved in the final brawl. He has nothing to do with the Bryan/Orton/HHH storyline and has not been attacked lately by The Shield. A part of me worries that this will lead to a goofy Survivor Series 1998 style tourney though, complete with some wacky heel turn to reveal a Corporate champ. Maybe Punk turns there?

The faces all looked like the angry chickens in Zelda that jump Link after he beats on one of them enough.

I thought of that, but the issue I have with that explanation is that it implies HHH would prefer singling out one person as an example as opposed to a large group for a large shovel.
