Did you enjoy Raw this week?

[CMPunkyBrewster]

i actually enjoyed it for the first time in a long time. some parts were "meh", but i thought most of it was very good.

[joeman]

I enjoyed RAW too.

I enjoyed it

[darbus alan]

After last week, they really didn't have anywhere they could go but "up." But yeah, it WAS a good RAW, for a change.

[MGH]

I don't know that I enjoyed it .... it was .... interesting?

[amplifierWORSHIP!]

minus Vince's bizzaro segment, RAW was pretty enjoyable for me

it may always be hit-or-miss, but that's all the reason to continue watching. damn you vincent kennedy mcmahon.

[babyfootball]

it lacked the one really good match. there were a few matches that drew some interest, and as usual with raw, there were some "wtf?" moments, and i'm not saying it was all that bad, because it was generally unoffensive and passable, but certainly not a memorable night. vince's segment was the most interesting, but probably dumbest, of the night. hbk's comeback handicapped win was strange, that almost never happens. but i really just wanted to see dx die somehow, even if shawn came out looking good. don't get me wrong, i like hbk and i even like hhh, but, without getting into the nitty-gritty of things, i don't like dx. and now, how can you have a one-man stable? i mean, even one warrior nation had two members. which didn't make sense, and i don't even know if it qualifies as a "stable" but either way, i want the rated rko/dx feud over. the women's division is going nowhere, carlito is right behind the women's division in that regard, and unless khali cuts promos he's of no interest to me. i would like to see more super crazy, but that whole masterlock challenge/match segment was strange. why wasn't ron simmons mad that super crazy just came out right as ron simmons was going to break the hold that nobody on the entire freakin' roster had ever broken, and interfered? instead, all we get is a "damn?" good to see super crazy get involved in some capacity, however. and the shelton/jtg match was "meh" at best. which leads to a show that was "meh" at best. oh well, still 10 times better than last weeks, but nothing compared to how good smackdown has been lately. but, to break it all down...

VKM HAS WON! (i think?)

You're right. Vince did win because after last week and, how many people swore off watching RAW, they still tuned in (at least on here).

[therob]

I thought it was really enjoyable. and Rated RKO came off as awesome tonight. They really came off as asshole heels. Vinces segment was weird but I kind of liked it. Hooray for Super Crazy being awesome.

They were in the same city where Shawn Michaels made his TV debut. Hacksaw was there that night and helped Shawn get ready. So they were trying to tie that together but, only made a brief mention of it in a WWE.com article and Orton made a remark like you wont help him like you did last time. It was a damn obscure reference to say the least.

Why didnt you. Edge explained it after they beat him down.

[thegame415]

ya i heard JR say that, but still i thought it was kinda weird

[Doomrider]

I voted meh....I loved Chris Masters voiding the masterlock 'defeat' and the Rated RKO sign confiscation...it reminded me of classic heel tactics from the 80s...otherwise meh.

['Sweet n' Sour' A. A. Estrada]

It was about average for a RAW these days.

I did like the Masters segment.

[KingPopper]

Good mainevent, HBK over comes the odds better then anyone, I enjoyed the Vince/Carlito segment. Nice to see WWE remember WGTT is fueding with Cryme Tyme. The rest was decent, good raw.

[odanobunaga]

Could someone describees to me Vínce´s promo?

[MGH]

From PWI

McMahon is still waiting for Trump to call him back. McMahon pulls out a letter that Trump sent to him. Vince says that he has never criticized Trump. He then reads from Trump's letter, which lists everything that people have said about last week's match, and ends with a plug for The Apprentice. Vince says if Donald wants compelling television, he is going to give it to him.

Mr. McMahon is following up on his promise and walks to the ring. Vince is upset that Trump is at the Golden Globes instead of talking to him. Vince talks about how many enjoyed last week's "skit" (sic) and shows a replay of it. So we know the masters of the match haven't been burned. Vince calls it brilliant and the crowd kind of boos. He shows a replay in slow motion. Vince talks about the biggest difference between himself and Donald. Donald asks the audience what they want, and Vince tells them what they want (it's true), and then they like it (not so much). Vince then brings up the Miss USA incident and he says he would handled it differently. Vince then calls out Miss USA. Torrie Wilson is reluctantly playing the part. Vince tells her to smile and wave. Vince asks her if she has something to say. Torrie reads from a card and says, "I am Miss USA, and I have been a very bad girl.

What can I do to make it up to you, Mr. McMahon, America's Favorite Billionaire." Vince says she has been very bad, but gets interrupted by Carlito's music.

Carlito walks out to the ring. Carlito says he is taking a big risk in coming to the ring, but tells Vince that he isn't cool. He says the Rosie-Donald skit sucked, and tonight's skit is brutal. Carlito says Trump was right and Vince doesn't know what the people want. They don't want stupid skits, and they don't want to see Vince talk. He says they want to see people fight. Vince takes off his jacket, and says if Carlito wants a fight, he can take on...The Great Khali (which my brother called as soon as Carlito came out).

Carlito tries to punch Khali, but gets a headbutt for his troubles. Khali blocks the springboard back elbow and stomps Carlito on the mat. Khali then lifts Carlito up by his head before tossing him down. Vince raises his hand in victory. Vince says that was cool.
