I'm pleasantly surprised at the Punk/Cena attack. I'm sure Punk will have some pretty great stuff on Cena during his promos leading up to their match. Also, how lively was that crowd on Raw? I don't remember seeing a crowd that outspoken in a while.

We got DANIELSON vs. REGAL last night. I saw it months ago live. That said, it was a 2 minute squash on NXT from London. I didn't care, it was Dragon Miz and Regal, I jizzed.

It's their time bro, well fucking deserved I think.
I thought it was OVERALL a great RAW, at least the top of the first and the 2nd hours, Regal & Bryan could very well make me jizz... It was great altogether, and seemed like a real wrestling show!

Also, major love to Dolf vs. Cena. That was an awesome 20 minute TV match.

Ziggler's always had a buttload of potential, creative just kept jerkin' him around before he got the IC title.
The Cena/Ziggler match last night on SmackDown wasn't as good as their RAW match though... way too much stalling. Rey/Kofi vs Del Rio/Swagger was pretty sweet.

I'm absolutely, 100% serious when I say that this segment is the sole reason I'm a wrestling fan today. I would have never given it a chance if t wasn't for flipping through the channels and seeing John Cena's rap. Follow that up with a standard awesome heel Jericho promo, and I was f'ing hooked on rasslin.
I've been going back through RAW weekly with '05/'06 episodes, and it's amazing how much worse the commentary is now. Michael Cole has literally sucked the life out of WWE commentary. King/Styles and King/Coach/JR, then just King/JR, were all WAAY better announce teams than we've got now.

Right there with you HJA. I miss retro RAW circa 2002-2005. My favorite personal RAW era, in which I not only became a wrestling fan but decided I wanted to wrestle.

I really liked Raw. The whole Punk/Cena thing is looking great and I loved how they built up the show by just having Punk warn people about what he is going to do backstage. Punk leading Nexus looks to be a great way to breathe life back into the group. I'm not sure how Barrett fits into this though. A return feud against Punk isn't something I'd want to see as I'm not sure if Barrett can pull off the babyface role.

They need to send Barrett to Smackdown and prep him for his match against Taker at Mania (assumed). I don't like how they are blowing off Morrison's title match already, unless they are using this as a way to build to another match at the Rumble. However, I have a feeling they might actually do Miz/Lawler as the Rumble main event.

Punk picking up the Nexus arm band was sweet. Probably should have seen this coming months ago, but something tells me creative hadn't planned this until very recently. I'm pretty sure they lost or completely forgot about the thread between Nexus, the RAW GM, Vince, & Taker/Kane too. Hopefully whatever comes out of Punk's Nexus vs Cena feud is more coherent & satisfying than the blow off we just got last week... I'm cautiously optimistic.
The rest of RAW was pretty awful. I couldn't care less about Miz/Lawler/Morrison.

There were parts of Raw that really left me scratching my head. What was the point of the sudden Henry push? I thought Tyson and his bodyguard were the ones getting the push.
Oh and Miz/Lawler at the Rumble would be horrible. Lawler shouldn't be featured so prominently anymore, it was good for one night but that's just too much.
