There were a couple good things besides Jericho, though RAW in general did drag pretty badly for the most part.
Jillian's prematch promo. EXCELLENT.
Umaga/Hardy match. Pretty good until the stupid run in.

Personally I thought the show started strong, HBK Did a funny promo with a big brawl with Kennedy (That sets up what could be a great feud....who didn't mark when Kennedy listed the things Shawn lost and finished with, "Your smile"), followed by a comedy match (Lawler/Marella) which was maybe 1 star for workrate (Being kind as Lawler is a F'N ANNOUNCER), but Santino's antics made it worth watching. Then a long interesting match wioth Hardy\Umaga (Nice to see Umaga not completely squashing a guy but still looking strong) that had a screwy ending all so Trips could do something tonight.
After that, I'd say Jillian's horrid singing was the highlight (If you like that kind of humor...which apparently I do) until Jericho showed. So I say, good first hour, with a weak 2nd, but strong close.

Why all the Lawler hate. He's one of the best ever and he can still go. Santino's still growing as a proformer. That helps everyone, Should Ric flar lose to Santino. I don't think so. Give him time and let him blossom. He's doing good so far.

Hardy / Umaga was excellent. Jericho's return was great. JR mis-calling the "Whisper in the Wind" for the sixth time made me laugh
The rest was the usual RAW.
Meh.
But unlike usual Monday's, I was happy when the show ended.

When Hornswoggle hid under the ring and Carlito tried to catch him by tiptoeing over the other side of the ring, King said in a low voice "Sssssh. I think Carlito is going to sneak up on him" to which JR, in a very funny, low voice replied "Do you think, Jerry?"
JR's response was so surreal it had me in stitches.

I thought it was a fine, fine show, except for the diva crap.

I liked how Raw started off.
HBK comes down, looking pretty good, asking Randy Orton to come down for a hand shake, Randy say "No, you're just going to kick me in the face", and HBK says: "Yeah pretty much, after I demanded a rematch" like they were making fun of the standard booking.
Plus JR doing solo commentary was fun while it lasted. Without Lawler, he soudned good and really professional. Reminded me of a baseball announcer with all the silent moments in between saying something.
Kennedy comes down and they have a nice brawl.
Then it was followed up by Santino which is always good, which somehow segue'd into a Randy Orton Moment.
Delusional Kennedy Promo, Hornswoggle moment, and Hardy vs. Umaga.
Lot of other crap happens with Cody rhodes, then the Divas which I actually enjoy watching, stupid Hornswoggle moment, and then we get Y2J

I thought it was a great show. Hardy/Youmanga match had me wondering if someone screwed up a cue because it seemed like it went on for a half an hour. Hardy hitting the whisper in the wind and JR saying Twist of Fate was actually expected lol. I thought Hornswoggle brought out TNT lol. Also I was suprised JR called him Horny and not King.

Honestly, I thought Raw was boring, except for Orton destroying jobbers, and Jericho coming back. The rest of the time, I was either watching MNF, or the Game

I thought it was a good show. I could've done without the Carlito/Hornswoggle match, but other than that I liked it. Hardy/Umaga was good, and I think Y2J and Orton will have a good feud, I see chemistry there.
Oh, and the Santino/Lawler match was priceless.

I thought it was a decent show minus Hardy/Umaga
If Umaga had used that nerve grip one more effing time I was for putting my boot through the tv
......Or changing the channel whatever

RAW was pretty good. I didn't see all of it, but the parts I did see were great. Shawn Michaels at the open was very funny. The Lawler match was good. I always love to see him in action. Too bad he didn't win with the piledriver though. I'm glad that Santino lost. That guy is so annoying. I like watching him lose. Jericho, of course, was awesome. I had no idea he'd be back last night, but I called it when Orton said he'd beaten everyone. I missed the rest of it trying to get my webcam to work. I'll have to reveiw my tape tomorrow.
