Were we watching the same show?? Well, the tension at the end was great of course. But that doesn't redeem an entire show of garbage

Jerichio/MVP was a fun match

Mickie vs Beth was a great womens match.

The backstage DX skits were actually funny this time around when they were ragging on Rhodes' terrible WCW booking.

Plus one of the best endings Raw has produced in years. A double swerve that no one saw coming. You know you have yourself a future star when there is a WWE hall of famer and 4 future hall of famers in the ring and the person who gets the biggest pop is Cody freakin Rhodes.

I would say its a pretty damn good show.

Well, I agreed with you on all that (except that the Jericho/MVP match was good).

I really enjoyed this weeks raw really made up for last weeks probably one of the best raw in months and the ending was priceless. All the hype got me pumped had no idea Rhodes and orton were to do that and the RKO. WOW imo barely an above average raw show. There were some sloppy matches but they did do well I have to admit.

Besides the shit divas batal royal, the bullshit Hornswaggle/Chavo, and the way too long multiple DX skits, RAW was decent. The Fatal 4 Way was the match of the night. RAW has a great mid card, sucks they don't utilize them right.

The best thing about the ending of RAW was that when Cena and DX went down, they stayed down. They didn't get right back up seconds later. Thing that sucks is that I'm sure next week, we'll get Cena and Dx agaisnt Legacy as the main event.

As for the whole "what's going to happen with Cody Rhodes," my guess is absilutly (sp) nothing. Remember what happened with Ted jr when his dad was there, he sucked back up to Orton and slapped his dad all in the same night. Remember when Orton punted Ted and toke him out, When Ted came back, he alligned himself right with Orton. Cody will suck up to Orton next week and that'll be the end of it.

EDIT: The title match between Beth and Mickie was surprisingly good. Not putting them down, but just the fact that a divas match was good is a step up, a singles match at that. The ground was participating, a Mickie chant broke out a couples, should be a good feud here.

Cody please turn face. Heel Cody is like that kid in the neighbourhood who tries so hard to be cool but fails horribly.

Agreed. Cody has come a long way from being the guy that looks like the Default CAW on the SD games.

I liked most of the matches. MVP vs Jericho was good, but they can do much better. The Women's Battle Royal was awful, but Beth vs Mickie more than made up for it. Henry vs Show was... Henry vs Show. The US title match was awesome, and I'm guessing that since Carlito took the pin, he's now out of the running for the US title.

The DX skits were actually good for the most part, and anytime someone takes a shot at Johnny B Badd, I'm a happy man.

The one truly terrible thing was... wait for it... HORNSWOGGLE VS CHAVO!

I thought Raw was good. Loved everthing apart from Diva Battle royal and Chavo/Horny crap. But the rest of the show was good. DX skits i though were funny, fourway was good best match on Raw. Mickie/Beth was really good TBH. The ending was good never seen it coming. Cody seems to be getting better. I thought he looked good tonight but no doubt they will have him groverling to Orton nxt week. Bit all in all good Raw :)
