I didn't think this weeks Raw was very good. Especially given how well it's been booked in recent weeks.

They seemed more concerned with this 900 episode thing. Pointing out all these other shows that haven't had 900 episodes.

The stupid bait and switch with Taker and Hart. Which strangely ignores the e-GM's edict that Hart was banned from Raw from the other week.

The only good bit was that they tried to make Nexus back into a threat in the main event.

I do think it would be a bit better if they were built up as individuals as well as within a group.

Pretty much the only time they've 'made an impact' is when they've taken someone out five, six, seven on one.

Barrett for once on Raw went after Taker on his own and promptly gets his a$$ handed to him.

CM Punk/Big Show was the best bit of Raw IMO, loved the Katie Vick reference.

think the cm punk, big show bit was the only good highlight of the night if they wasnt to busy going on about how many shows they have beaten just spoilt the show imo

Glad to see Kaval won NXT season 2. Season 3 is going to be terrible though

Also the Divas title didn't last long did it? Only been about 2 years and it's already getting unified, there was no need for it in the first place.

They've been doing it for years now after every set of adverts in the "Did you know?" things, they come across so smug it makes me want to change the channel.

i thought it was amusing how cole is now going really overboard with some of the heels, listening to him last night about alberto del rio, i thought he was going to jizz, and as for being surprised about him coming out? his ring announcer is sat two feet to your left, i'd already spotted him prior to him coming out.

bring back jr before he kills raw all together

That Aloisia is a looker for a giant.

Can tell she'll win just because she's big and she'll become WWE's version of Kong.

Doubt it, this is WWE we are talking about, she's more likely to end up being Santino or Khali's latest love interest

It is going to be pretty shocking season though, no idea what they were thinking making it an all women's show, it'll be a disaster

Love a line by Honky Tonk Man in a shoot interview years ago - when asked if he'd been watching Raw and the Diva Search, he replied "Nah I don't care about that, if I wanna see tits and a$$ I'll go to the strip club..."
