Awesome, awesome, awesome RAW tonight! I'd go as far as saying the best RAW of 2008, so far.
- Shawn Michaels/Chris Jericho promo was fantastic. Great emotion from both men, with the tease of a Jericho heel turn.
- King of the Ring announcement was spoiled, due to our lovely (not being sarcastic, really) UK fans. But whatever, all in all it should be good, if booked right. If 8 men, it should be: Chris Jericho, Umaga, Shawn Michaels, CM Punk, Elijah Burke, Batista, Matt Hardy and MVP... with MVP getting the win.
- Awesome tag team match, although fairly short. London's bump for the Backcracker (refuse to call it the Backstabber) was brilliant, as was Santino on the mic... as usual.
- MOTN was easily the Womens title match. Beth and Mickie both showed that the Womens division can be taken seriously and be great... as long as the ones that can actually wrestle are the ones in the title matches.
- One of the only bad matches of the night was JTG vs. Murdoch, which I think was only booked to further the break up of Murdoch & Cade (unfortunately).
- Regal vs. Orton was better than I had thought it would be. Not saying I didn't expect much out of this match, but it was still better than my thoughts.
- The other bad match was Burchill vs. Hacksaw. Again, WWE needed to put Burchill over, but rather than giving him someone that can take his moves nicely... they give him washed up Duggan. Should have been Burchill vs. Cody, Super Crazy, or Val Venis. Either way, at least one of the UK natives won.
- Triple H and JBL was much better than I had thought. I agree, about 3-4 years too late, since neither are in their prime anymore... but still a match i've always wanted to see.
Again, this was probably the best RAW of 2008, so far. Hopefully WWE keep going in this direction, rather than the crappy booking.
**EDIT: Almost forgot, NO CENA! Which automatically makes this the best RAW of 200... hell... EVER!
