[Chiral]

I was doing work for half of it so I can't fairly rate but

Live thread/FAN viewing experience: 10/10

[asuka007]

Ah, a 5 I guess. It was just, there.

[The Rick Jericho]

See I was......... fell asleep..........

Is this a DW or Old Age...

[marvelocity]

I give it an 8, but that's because Raw is graded on a curve.

[häšhtå.gdālėÿ]

I gave it a 6. It wasn’t terrible. Nothing really stood out. But at no point did I actively want to leave.

[welshpenguin]

It’s a 8 from me. I love a wedding/vow renewal & it was good to see Bischoff. Miz tripping over was also funny 😄

Yeah, it was reasonably fun even if Damien/Dolph was a low point. There was very little women's stuff tonight, but it's difficult circumstances, and we at least got Carmella canonically admitting she sees Rhea as a hot gothic Warrior who can tear people apart with her bare hands.

[Finish Uncle Muffin’s Story]

7 from me. Nothing horrible, nothing spectacular. When they want, RAW can still deliver on the in-ring front in spades.

[Deleted]

I actually liked the raining blood (the slayer shirt was a nice little foreshadowing) wedding.

Everything else was the same old shit.

[asuka007]

Best Part: Carmella admitting that she finds Rhea hot.

Low Point: The incredibly stupid ending to the US Title Match.

Me too!

[honkytonkbossman]

I’ve lurked here for years. Only commented a few times. Been a fan of WWE since the late 70s. This has been one of the best episodes of Raw in recent memory. Totally different vibe and forgotten talents were used. I introduced my wife to pro-wrestling for the first time in her life about a year ago during the Thunderdome era. Took her to a house show last month and she loved it. Tonight’s show was great. You had guys step up and put on great matches. I don’t know if they are trying to salvage the PPV or if several talents are sick or quarantined, but we loved it.

[nisidhe]

I gave it a seven.

Finn's absence cost them a point right off the bat, but it was balanced out nicely by the accompanying lack of Vince to gum up the works further. The editing needs correction and the entire world saw that Omos and Azeez are worse than useless in the ring. Seriously, send them both back to NXT and teach them how to work a basic moveset

That said, the opening pair of matchese were a pleasant surprise and really gave the show a shot of espresso. The 24/7 tag match was...meh, the AJ fustercluck was confusing, but still rather entertaining and got some energy back into the crowd - AJ as the workhorse playing off Waller, Azeez and Crews got him some mad respect. Ziggler is a bore no matter what and this duality thing with Damian Priest has been done better before and gotten more pops. As for the vow renewal thing, it did leave a lot of smiles on people's faces but, really, WWE could do better in such a pinch than a comedy segment that ends with the happy couple covered in either ichor or old motor oil.

I get it; it was a tight ship that had to be padded out somewhat. On it own, it wasn't bad and some parts were highly good. But it was not a good go-home show for a PPV that is going to be rather Raw-heavy on the day, I think. Maybe I'm being generous with the 7, but I watched it, at least.

[polarbearpete]

Gable and Otis are money as singles. Gable gave off big-time Angle or WCW Jericho vibes, while Otis’s style has morphed into Vader 2.0 and it works.

[john84]

I thought it was a decent RAW to end the year on given the circumstances so I gave it a 7 out of 10.
