Overall, RAW was pretty good. They made good use of backstage segments and didn't overdo it for once. The Hornswoggle stuff was actually funny. What an excitable little perv, that leprechaun.
Cody Rhodes vs. Hardcore Holly
Cody could use a feud to get him established. I wouldn't pick Hardcore Holly, but I guess they want another "rookie proves himself against a veteran" story.
Santino Marella vs. Ron Simmons
Santino is one of the most entertaining heels to come along in a long time. He's just such an annoying ****, it's hilarious. His review of "The Condemned" was funny as hell.
Oh, and Maria > naysayers in this thread
Triple H vs. Carlito & Vince McMahon
No. Just...no. How many guys is Triple H going to bury?
Cade & Murdoch vs. London & Kendrick
Good stuff. I love how Cade and Murdoch are all polite until it gets time to win. London and Kendrick never disappoint. Heelanders? Awesome.
Jeff Hardy & Candice Michelle vs. Shelton Benjamin & Beth Pheonix
Three good wrestlers and Shelton make this the best match of the night. Candice has really made terrific strides to becoming a wrestler. Her feud with Beth could really be something good if they actually make it a story, which they seem to be. The most shocking is that they're not making it a typical catfight that's all about jealousy over hair or something.
Cena's Championship Surrender Ceremony
Meh. The best part was when "Mr. McMahon" overruled Coach.
I really hope that little vignette was the return of Jericho. How many signs out there have said, "save us Y2J"? Too many. I know that "creative" is a bunch of douchebags, but they couldn't come up with a more perfect way to bring him back. Let him be the heel he was in WCW and he'll be the biggest thing in the company.
Maybe we need some "save us Ralphus" signs?
