So, RAW tonight was good, matches were given time, and the show overall was well built, that's what I think at least.
Morrison looked like a fucking warrior out there, so dissappointed they're giving him his shot now, and not at RR. He won the #1 contendership at a PPV for christ's sake!
Sucks that there's ORTON in the main event, it bores me to no end.
Alberto Del Rio's just too good, but I know he's gonna be a champion in 2011. A WORLD champion.
I missed Bryan in this show, instead we got a shitty Divas and some shitty Tag.

I was sad by the lack of Danielson, too.
Punk reminds me of Jesse Pinkman now, for some reason. Not complaining about it, though.

That was f'n great, SSP!
RAW was really good tonight (minus the divas & tag stuff), but I'll echo the disappointment in the lack of Danielson.
The cage match was decent, but it could have been a lot better. Could've used the added drama of pinfalls & submissions... & blood.
Punk was gold all night. Anyone else catch the stigmata markings on his tape?
Miz/Morrison was really good. That starship pain through the table was badass. Shame that it appears Morrison may be one & done in the title picture for now, but atleast I didn't have to hear him talk tonight.

It was odd to see an episode of Raw with so much wrestling. There were few backstage segments and only one in-ring promo - it felt more like an episode of Smackdown than anything else. I thought it was a decent show, though, although things went a bit downhill after the stellar opener. I particularly loved the beginning of the match wherein Riley began to interfere from the opening bell. It's such a simple, logical thing that never happens, and I thought the opening of the match alone set up Morrison as a credible threat very well.
I'm a big fan of Del Rio and i'm curious to see what they have lined up for him. They gave him plenty of time on the mic and then a lengthy match used solely to showcase his ability. I had expected that he would win MITB, but it appears that they might have bigger plans in store for him at Wrestlemania. R-Truth's line about sending Del Rio "back where he came from" was not unexpected given the nature of professional wrestling, but it still shocked me a bit. Atleast they cleared it up on commentary that he was referring exclusively to sending Del Rio back to Smackdown, but the writers certainly knew what they were doing with that line. In PG WWE, blood and breasts = bad, but xenophobia = perfectly acceptable.

HBK vs Del Rio would be the shit, but if Shawn wouldn't do a program with The Rock, no way in hell he comes out of retirement to have one with a mexican.
Decent enough RAW... capped off by the continuation of Jerry Lawler in the main event. *shakes head*
I enjoyed the Punk/Nexus stuff. I was hoping Punk was going to willingly take an initiation beating, but his promo on top of the titantron made up for it. Sad to see Slater & Gabriel walk while nOtunga still has the #2 spot in Nexus.

I think that TV-PG rating has made you soft!

I was surprised by the HBK induction. I thought they would have held off on inducting for a few more years, but eh... it's awesome he's getting inducting anyway.
The Punk/Nexus stuff were good, I hope they start giving the individual Nexus members more on opportunities to develop their characters instead of just having them like lackeys.

That's the face of a man that's guilty of something.

Castrating the careers of young talent for decades and subjecting us to nu-metal with every video package.

DAMN YOU WWE for sticking a commercial break in the middle of Danielson vs. Morrison
