Even if its for a 1 off WrestleMania match.</p><p> </p><p> I have no problem with Heel Cole, its just I dont want that in the booth. He takes away from the actual matches with his constant remarks. Thats fine for a color commentator but not for a play by play imo. Its like no ones calling the matches.</p>

<p>I haven't watched an entire WWE match in forever but I just watched every move of this main event. </p><p> </p><p>

This was a good WRESTLING match. Fantastic even. I loved these two going at it and I want them to feud now.</p><p> </p><p>

Is this just an average WWE match these days or is this one of the best matches they have had on free television in a while? </p><p> </p><p>

Bryan just killed it during this match excellent match.</p><p> </p><p>

Edit: That wasn't the main event but it should have been.</p><p> </p><p>

EDIT EDIT: HOLY crap Piper looks OLD!</p>

<p>Yeah I mean he's not Flair old its just when I saw him last year he looked for lack of a better term "less old". Just one of those things you see the guy one time and he looks mostly how you remember you see him the next time and he's aged ten years. </p><p> </p><p>

Those last two segments on RAW tonight stopped it from being a boring, silly, throw away show and made me actually want to buy the pay per view. Piper, Barrett, Cena nearly sold me on that pay per view and I haven't watched RAW since John Cena first joined Nexus.</p>

Man, Piper MADE that final segment on RAW. He brought out that emotional all great angle need, he brought the reality, the magnitude of the storyline out. It's true, kayfabe wise if Cena hands Barrett the title he spits in the eye of oh so many legends he grew up worshipping. Why isn't there more of this wrestling damnit!?!?!

The Bryan/Swagger match was good, too. Pleasantly surprised to see Bryan get the win, but I'm afraid he's about to lose the US title to, IMO, the most boring dude in the WWE, Ted Jr.</p>

The last half hour or so was extremely good. All except for that RKO that Cena got up from literally 20 seconds later haha.</p><p> </p><p> First Raw I actually sat threw in whole in probably a year and it was a 3 hour one at that!</p>

<p>I'm just gonna say it: best RAW I've seen in ages. I thought it'd be just some silly crap to basically exploit the legends for three hours, but... I was impressed. Some good matches, Nexus is as entertaining as ever, Kozlov and Santino have GREAT chemistry as a team (not to mention the singing of the Soviet national anthem!!!), Tony Atlas cracked me up, gotta good laugh out of Mae Young...</p><p> </p><p>

And the Cole/JR/King dynamic was golden. Pure freakin' gold. You can't put a price on the look on Cole's face while JR and the King ignored him. Heck, Cole is an excellent heel.</p><p> </p><p>

Again, great episode of RAW. The matches were given some proper attention, the angles were entertaining, and now I want to actually watch Survivor Series. WWE has really started to actually put some effort into the writing lately, me thinks. If nothing else, the Nexus storyline has been a good watch from the start.</p><p> </p><p>

Oh, and Alberto Del Rio. Future champ, calling it now.</p>

Benoit was more a victim of timing and circumstance than anything else imo. What you pointed out above does hold some truth but that's more of an issue with WCW and a whole other discussion. </p><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-username="ampulator" data-cite="ampulator" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="25169" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>I'm not surprised he wasn't pushed so hard. </div></blockquote><p> </p><p> Nor am I, he deserved better.</p>
