Outstanding episode of Raw from start to finish. Keep it up, WWE!
And damn I'm going to miss Ric Flair. Wonderful send-off. They need to give him the Bret Hart DVD treatment now. That old dvd was just matches, right? I have the Horsemen dvd and it was awesome. I'd like a complete career dvd with like 5 discs. Plenty of NWA stuff, WCW stuff, WWF/E stuff, and a couple from his last run including the HBK match to cap it off.

Seriously, Flair could have chopped me a million times in a row and I still wouldn't have cried as much as I have done these past 3 days. Perfect send off for the perfect wrestler.
And btw, The Undertaker came out after the show went off the air, so you moaning, never pleased with anything, typical IWC'ers can maybe be happy for once.

Almost immediately after Raw went off the air, the familiar tolling of a bell sounded, the lights went dark, and the wrestlers parted the aisle to let the Undertaker through. He did his full entrance, stepped into the ring, took off his coat and hat, then shook Flair's hand and embraced him, while whispering in his ear. Undertaker then took his signature pose on one knee and saluted the Nature Boy.
Next out was Vince McMahon, who rushed to the ring with a gigantic smile on his face and then absorbed Flair in a big, enthusiastic hug. He held up Flair's hand in victory and posed for the arena.
Flair then brought his family back into the ring, and did his strut, took off his jacket, dropped and dropped an elbow and a knee on it, to the crowd's delight. He had the camera zoom in on a gold watch that he said McMahon had just given him.
After taking the microphone and giving the fans one last, emotional, "Thank you," Flair stepped out of the ring, and made his way down the ramp.
Then in absolutely awesome moment, the gathering of wrestlers and WWE officials parted, in unison with 16,000 fans, bowed to the greatest wrestler who ever lived.
Flair shook several hands, and hugged several tearful admirers - including Stephanie McMahon, before blowing a final kiss to the audience, and disappearing behind the curtain.
On a side note, local ads had promoted a dark match main event of Finlay and John Cena vs. Randy Orton and JBL. The match never took place.

I was crying during that whole segment just like I did at Mania, I hate crying but knowing Flair will never wrestle and never be a regualr again was very sad, truly the best.

I wished they could have shown the Undertaker segment that sounds awesome. Randy Orton should have got his song played and got in the ring and huged ric since i he basically molded him as much as batista, but hes a heel so thats probably why.

Probably my favorite Raw in recent memory
Cryme Tyme surprised me and the pop they got was amazing for the short run they had before
Tag wrestling got TWO matches last night.....including a London/Kendrick non-title win over the champs!
Jericho/Punk rocked by socks off and although Punk is my favorite wrestler, I supported his loss last night following the big WM win. The best thing for them to do with Punk is a slow rise, cashing it in next year after more exposure and most likely not winning the belt.
Santino thing was funny.
Flair thing made me smile.....the WM match was the perfect last match and that was the perfect farewell(though I was hoping for a Piper appearance)
Plus HHH/Cena never appeared until the farewell....a refreshing pace despite both impressing me more lately than ever before

What happened at the end of Raw will be sticking in my mind forever, a great sendoff for the greatest wrestler of all time.
