Did Linda make the hulkamania brand public domain??? They gave some free advertising to Hogan. And, Brock mentioned UFC? Unless Vince thinks UFC is some mexican promotion as Jack Pisco says I guess it doesn't matter to Vince anymore? Seemed like a two segment show. Opening brawl and the jericho/punk segment.

This show I thought was going to be great after watching the Lesnar/Cena confrontation but, I was wrong. 3 Stooges had no place on Raw. I actually thought Tensai had match of the night if that means anything. Enjoyed the Punk/Jericho part of the show. That's pretty much it..

A rubbish show, only good things involved Brock Lesnar. I did laugh at former WCW wrestler Will Sasso as Hulk.

I was at the arena tonight and the crowd wasn't into the show other than for Brock. All the YES chants happened When they were at commercial. They booed the shit out of the stogies. I was sitting in the way upper deck so I don't know if any of the YES chants we're audible over the TV. Right now Ziggler is in the ring with Cena and it ended with Cena giving Ziggler the AA. No dark match main event. Brodus was over huge. 5/10

Loved tonight's show, if only because John Cena smiling, despite a mouthful of blood, probably pissed off a lot of Cena haters.

I thought that RAW was crap, and i stayed up till 4am just to see it finish because I knew Brock would be making another appearance at the end. As long as Brock stays relevant then they're on to a winner having him on TV because many many others like me will tune in just for the Brock factor. It's been a long while since the WWE had someone on top that people would straight up go out of their way to watch so hopefully this week will be a one off and they will continue to improve while they have all these extra eyeballs.

It only took 1 week to make Lesnar another guy in the WWE Machine. So disappointed, its like Vince suffers from Alzheimer and forgot how to book a proper feud. Why mention another company even if it's not a direct rival? Old Vince wouldn't do this, who's calling the shots?

Pretty decent show overall, though the crowd didn't come across as very hot. They had a high standard to live up to and fell short.
Opening brawl + pull-apart was great, as was the hardway bleeding. Pairing Brock with the Ace Administration is a nice effort by WWE to try and solidify him as a heel though how effective it will be in the long run remains to be seen. Extreme Rules seems a bit soon but maybe WWE is trying to get the most out of Brock right away before the inevitable backstage headbutts occur between the two parties.
Stooges stuff, especially Hogan Sasso, was funny even if the live crowd crapped all over it.
The Punk-Jericho feud continues to escalate but I think we'll all yawn if Jericho pours boxed wine onto Punk next week.
Tensai's "mist" is ridiculous and it's not even colored so what are we supposed to think it is? Saliva? Gross.
Rest of the show was largely forgettable.

I thought it was a decent show overall. Great opening, of course, and a total change of direction with the blood mixed in. I guess none of the matches were anything special. I don't feel Lord Tensai is clicking at all. Time will tell, but I think they might be over doing it with Funkasuras, Ryback and Tensai and the return of squash matches. I got a good laugh from Cena and the look of disgust on his face from Otunga's body oil. The one stooge did a pretty damn good Hogan impression. I found it funny that his music hitting garnered no reaction at all. Amazing that for once Kane actually saved a segment rather than drag it down.

Daniel Bryan was a major focus of last week's show without being on tv, and this week, he's there to help break up Cena and Brock. I guess it's best to keep him now on Smackdown where they can edit everything. Though from reading an earlier comment, there were still YES! chants in the crowd. The 3 Stooges got the expected reaction. Any celebrity that comes out and waste time to promote whatever they're doing usually doesn't get much of a positive response. But as long as people are spending money to promote something, WWE will welcome them whether the crowd wants to see them or not. The rest of the show was kinda so-so. Decent matches, great opening segment and a further continuation of the Punk/Jericho angle. This week, Jericho pours beer. I'm curious to see if or when they'll do the Raven/ROH angle and physically restrain Punk so Jericho can pour beer down his throat, instead of on him. 5 out of 10 tonight with a so-so Raw.

I stayed up until 4.00am to watch this shit. No Daniel Bryan AGAIN, yet the stoogies are given plenty of time and David Otunga is main eventing? It just doesn't make sense why WWE wouldn't capitalise on such a hot catchphrase and character. If they don't do something decent with him tomorrow night I'm rejecting the WWE product completely and I won't be travelling to any more WrestleManias. I'll just rely on your reviews to keep me updated, why should I watch something that gets me frustrated. Will you guys be reviewing tomorrow nights live Smackdown? Keep up the great work guys, at least Pollock and Ting listen to their fans!

After that phenomenal opening segment, I thought we were going to get another good Raw after last week, but this was really the tale of two stories, cena/lesnar and the continuing alcoholica angle between jericho and punk. I felt that Punk had one of the better promos in the past while, but the beer bit at the end maybe could have been saved for a potential Austin/Punk story for next year if they go that way...before I go 3 things to note; 1, thanks for the new message board, way much better than Facebook, 2, when Brodus comes out with his dancers, should we Paraphrase Dr. Seuss and just call them Thang 1 and Thang 2, and 3, I didn't mind the stooges segments as a lifelong fan, but putting them out in front of an audience like that? A big mistake...thanks guys, Richard Lee.

Is it just me or did Raw seem like deja vu from last week just with the additions (or subtractions in my opinion) of the Three Stooges and the crowd being exchanged for a lame one. But, Jericho/CM Punk same finish as last week, Big Show/Cody same finish as last week, Brock/Cena same finish as last week, Lord Tensai different opponent same match as last week. It was like creative said last week's show was so great lets do it again!! 4/10

I think it was a decent show that builds nicely for the future. The opening segment was great, this is definitely how you should build brock and cena, physical angles. The next segment with Ziggler losing clean to Clay is very worrying, i can't believe they are dropping the ball with Ziggler. I honestly think he has the potential to be the next Shawn Michaels and hes really been lost in the midcard. Move him onto Smackdown and get him in a respectable feud so hes not losing so regularly RAW please.
The Punk Jericho stuff was fine. I like how they are building henry back up, hope he doesnt lose clean next week vs Punk.
Stooges stuff was actually okay. Zach Ryder stock is so low now.
The final match with brock run in at the end was solid. Like i said at the start, it wasnt a knockout show it was just decent that built up heat nicely, not every episode of a tv show is always going to be amazing.
I hope you guys haven't gone OTT on lack of daniel bryan. I wonder if the wwe think in some quasi way that by not putting him on tv, it only enhances the thirst to see him from the hardcores and somehow gets him over more because hes not being pushed. so the hardcore fans that know this start to get even more angry at the big bad wwe and become more vocal in their support for him, thus actually pushing bryan?
might have over thought it a bit too much. hope they have some good creative planned for him tomorrow in the live smackdown.
anyway kutgw guys. hope this messageboard lark goes well for you
