The show had its up and downs, and if I had to chose, I would say thumbs up though. I mean it was what it was. It's a celebration of Raw's past, so it should have been expected to see some of the stuff they had going on there, with faces of the past. The segments REALLY didn't flow tonight. Between all the commercials and all of the social media bullsh*t, the show is getting really choppy and just doesn't flow smoothly from one segment to another. Totally agree on this. They really had no good flow to the show. The tout crap wasted too much time, and I still can't see the big deal of having Sheen on there. I mean what fans have really been waiting for the day Charlie Sheen was on WWE TV? |

I'm fairly certain when most people from the UK (or any other country) say they disliked the show is down to pure tiredness. I wasn't that tired last night and found the show thoroughly enjoyable, while in the past I've had to re-watch shows because I knew I wasn't paying much attention/not appreciating the show when I was watching the live viewing because of being tired. Was the first Raw I have watched live, and the adverts did piss me off. Maybe I will have a different opinion on the show once I re-watch it advert free. |

Loved it!
Loved the DX reunion, I was really hoping Chyna would appear with her firework gun and cause a scene, that would'a been epic!
Trish and Triple H's backstage moment was funny. I thought Trish would get more of a reaction but the crowd were dead all night tbh. Would've been funnier if Steph walked in though.
The Slater match was awesome! I was expecting him to face a diva, but not Lita, I was hoping for Kharma, but I guess she is really released. Oh well it was nice to see Lita again.
Cena verses Punk was great, I was hoping Cena would win but I guess SummerSlam will finish this feud off!
I hope to see Punk vs. Rock at Royal Rumble!

I enjoyed it. But it didnt live up to the hype for me. Hated AJ as GM and the wedding overall, though Slick was hilarious. Segments dragged, the matches were pointless, hated that the they pulled a TNA in the Main Event and absolutely hated that Lita of all people was the big Slater "payoff." She's not even the biggest legend Slaters faced, how can that be the payoff? Overall I thought it was about a 7/10. Surprised by Punks turn, laughed at Takers hood botch and Mae Youngs hand all grown up. Enjoyed DX and the Trips/Heyman segment also.

incredible show, just amazing from start to finish.
I'm out of words, I don't know what to say, Punk turning is awesome, the whole Lesnar-HHH Segment was great, Steph was smokin' hot, Triple H looked badass fighting Brock.
Sheen vs. Bryan was fun aswell
9/10 due to lack of Austin

Even my gf thought it was highly entertaining and she usually whines about watching wrestling

Now, if you were looking for the average show with a bunch of wrestling and a few in ring segments, then of course you'd hate this.
Yet, for nostalgia and entertainment sake, it was fun to watch and I enjoyed it.

Yes, very much so. The lack of Austin was a bit of a downer, but that doesn't take away from it being a fun and memorable RAW. Now, I'm just interested in seeing what they'll do from now on with these three hours each week.

It was okay, though the lack of Stone Cold was unacceptable.

Started off REALLY strong with DX. Then kind of fizzled out a bit. There were some good matches, but I was disappointed that all Bret did was a guest ring announcer. And the Heath Slater thing should have been better.
The Lesnar bit was great, and so was Punk turning heel.
Also no Steve Blackman?!

The IC title match was a bad match with a bad ending.

It was great in terms of nostalgia. DX, APA, Rock and Lita (phwoar!), plus seeing Trish (phwoar again!) was awesome. The ending was good too.
But, all the matches were crap, all the Charlie Sheen stuff was a waste of time, and the wedding and announcement of the new GM (WTF) was awful. Seriously A.J. running the show? What a letdown.
Great for looking back, horrible for going forward IMO.

Really didn't like this weeks show tbh.
I wish there was actually some more wrestling.

The segments REALLY didn't flow tonight. Between all the commercials and all of the social media bullsh*t, the show is getting really choppy and just doesn't flow smoothly from one segment to another.
