I'd give the show a 7/10. It couldn;t have ended better with Punk getting the best of that piece of trash The Crock. I gave him a standing ovation in my living room. Good swerve too, as I thought "yup, another Rock domination" and then Punk nailed that clothesline!!!
Big Show = GO AWAY. YOU ARE BORING.
If I was the fodder for UT & Kane I would've ran back up the ramp as fast as possible to avoid getting my ass kicked.
The DX thing was funny but as usual, HBK milks it a little too much to the point he wasn't funny any more.
My Lord is Brock HUGE! It's rare for Triple H to look small next to someone. Stupid way to set up the SummerSlam match though.
Always nice to see Slick make an appearance!

Taker looked horrible. When he started trying to take his hood off I thought there might be something physically wrong with him. Then he took his coat off and had no muscle definition at all. I was worried for the poor sucker that Taker tombstoned. Was afraid he could get hurt the way Taker was looking. Then the post match with Kane was weird. Not sure what they were trying to achieve.
Am I the only one that still hates Kane's new look?
There was a lot of stuff that belongs on Are You Serious tonight.
I enjoyed the last match and the Punk swerve. The wedding was ok.

It must be nice to be Rock; wrestling for the first time in 10+ years, returning for 1 match, then returning a few months later to get a shot at the WWE Title months later, all after wrestling 1 match in over a decade.
So Punk turns heel, even though his merchandise was outselling Cena's. Makes sense. Unless of course, they explain that he's p***ed that Cena has main evented EVERY SINGLE ppv since WM.
Congrats to Miz though. Glad he's being used again.
Poor Heath. I never liked him, but to be destroyed by legends every week has gotta hurt.
TNA is suddenly starting to look better to me.

I thought is was great with the exception of AJ being named GM. That makes zero sense. But overall I was more entertained by last night's RAW than any I can remember since the Attitude Era.

The first time in 10+ years? WrestleMania wasn't even his first time in 10 months. Let's go back 10 years and this is just off the top of my head... Royal Rumble 2002: Jericho beat Rock No Way Out 2002: Rock beat Undertaker WrestleMania X8 (2002): Rock beat Hogan Vengeance 2002: Rock beat Angle and Taker Global Warning (2002 DVD): Rock beat Lesnar and Triple H SummerSlam 2002: Lesnar beat Rock No Way Out 2003: Rock beat Hogan RAW in 2003: Rock faced Hurricane and Jeff Hardy, among others.. WrestleMania XIX (2003): Rock beat Austin Backlash 2003: Goldberg beat Rock WrestleMania XX (2004): Orton, Flair and Batista beat Rock and Foley Survivor Series 2011: The Rock and John Cena beat The Miz and R-Truth WrestleMania XXVIII (2012): The Rock beat John Cena Yeah, he's totally only wrestled one match in a decade.

I thought the show was terrible. It was like one giant advertisement and promo night, with only 2 "real" matches - the 2 title matches. The DX segment, while funny at times, dragged on a little long with HBK proving he's not, nor has he ever been funny. Way too many guys from the past on this show, although I was expecting it. Raw 1,001 will really be the new format of the show.
The 6 man match was OK and I'm glad Miz won the I-C belt. At least they're giving him something. The AJ-Bryan wedding was cool and I'm very intrigued with her being the GM. They're doing a good job of keeping her an interesting character.
The main event could've had a clean ending. They wouldn't have had to change what happened after it was over. Punk would've gotten more over as a heel if he'd just gotten a tainted pinfall after Show's interference. I'm glad he's a heel though. His character needs an edge and apparently the WWE makes every good guy the same.
Tout...tout...let it all out...that is a thing I can do without.
Can't believe I'm gonna have to listen to 3-6 jackass fans' opinions about things when they put it on Raw each week. This is officially the point where WWE has taken social media too far. Ugh.
Hilarious how Stephanie comes down and physically beats up Paul Heyman for saying things she doesn't like -- then 40 minutes later is in one of those Don't Be A Bully, B. A. Star promo/commercials.
And I won't be tuning in til 9pm each night. 3 hours of this crap too long. They're just gonna show recaps of all the important stuff from the 1st hour anyway. We have DVR's now, recaps aren't necessary. If people didn't see what happened, oh well!!

I sat down and watched the show with my dad and my best friend, and I did it as 12 year old Mark. And just enjoyed a crazy show. It was fun. After a decade in the indy business, and spending most of that time being so cynical of the stuff being put out, I decided to just sit back and let the world go crazy. I found wrestling is so much enjoyable when I am not second guessing the booking or if things don't go "my way" the show is much more fun to watch. And as 12 year old Mark, I had a blast watching the show last night. I totally suggest ya guys give it a try just for at least one show.

HBK proving he's not, nor has he ever been funny. Thank God I am not the only one who thinks this.

I didn't get the end at all with ...Punk turning heel? To what put over the retired Rock? Also hated the Rock making a fool of Daniel Bryan. DB's been one of the best thing's lately, and here come's the Rock treating him like a joke...like Santino Marella or something. and damn my hat tasted bad.

3 hours of Raw - 5 matches. One took 16 seconds (Brodus/Swagger) and another took 2 minutes (Slater/Lita).
This was the worst thing about the show. I knew with The Wedding, Brock-HHH, and Rock having a big announcement I knew we'd have a lot of fluff/filler but there was so much crap. Video game hype, 2 Tout segments, Cole interviewing a ringside fan, AJ/Bryan wedding recap video, Undertaker DVD promo, Stephanie/Heyman appearance, and segments to make sure you tweet who you'd like to see Rock to fight.
I really hope we get to see more matches than what we'd see in a 2 hour Raw and that we see more of the younger guys get some TV time. I have a sinking feeling, however, that won't happen.
