This coming from the IC champ

 

Worst. Raw. Ever.

That's all.

 

FUCK YES.

We knew Trips was coming back after last night's happenings.

The punt to Shane I sort of expected. The RKO on Stephanie caught me. That was fucking awesome.

 

I'll take back my comment from just a little while ago. I typed that as Shane was punted and it seemed as though Orton was on his way out, and before he RKO'd Stephanie. It looks as though a long, lengthy feud between Orton and Triple HHH is in the works and it's looking to be a personal one.

 

Kind of a snooze, but I guess it set some things up for the next few months.

Predictable ending, minus the RKO to Stephanie. Better than it could have been done. I suppose they'll go full force exposing the Steph/HHH marriage now.

Good confrontations with Edge/Cena and Jericho/Piper. HBK (on crack) and JBL didn't deliver like usual.

 

When the women's championship match is basically the main event then you KNOW that Raw was a snooze. Considering there is no PPV until April 5th, I guess we should have expected this, though.

 

Are you saying Michaels is literally on crack?

Edge/Cena was the entertainment of the night. This was clearly a contractual night off for everyone who did shit yesterday except for Orton, who has had plenty of PTO the last six months.

I know this is wrestling, but I cringe when these guys beat women. I think it's really a bad example.

 

Well Rey and Knox had a good fight and Rey took a beating last night. Overall good show. I'm curious to know what they do with the titles now and if the WWE title comes back to raw and the heavyweight title goes to Smackdown?

Also just out of curiosity, has anyone seen Manu or Snuka seen they were kicked out of Legacy? I understand what the WWE wants with Orton, Rhodes and DiBiase, but I think a decent feud could have been had with Priceless and Manu and Snuka. Even when Evolution was on top of its game, it seemed like Batista and Orton usually had some separate feud going on. Priceless and Cryme Tyme just doesn't do it for me.

 

Orton RKO'ing Steph was ... Priceless.

 

On the money, KY When he stood over Shane, I was like, "Maybe he should RKO Stephanie." Once I finished that sentence, it happened. The move made sense because he didn't want to injure her (badly).

Edge and Cena were classic on the mic, as usual when those two have a confrontation. Maybe we'll get a Trips/Cena switch, which would be fine by me.

 

*Loved* the Jericho/Piper segment. People can say what they want about WWE right now, but they're doing a fantastic job at booking heels. The fans a mile away from my alma mater despised Edge and Jericho, which is exactly what they should be doing. Orton is the hottest character in the business right now (Cena fankids and fanladies aside), but he's definitely starting to get cheered more. Big pop when he gave Steph the RKO...even bigger once when Trips ran in.

 

I gotta admit, even though I knew it was coming and was prepared for it, I got chills when Trips came running into the ring.

I think they could do great things with this angle.

I also enjoyed the Cena-Edge spot and Piper-Jericho spot. All told, not a whole lot of wrestling tonight, which is to be expected the night after a PPV.
