I love AJ!

The angle is the first thing in years to make my wife actually pay attention.

It's the most compelling thing on WWE tv, for sure. And being played straight down the middle, not for laughs, with no early reveal - yes, very much soap opera stuff, and all the better for it.

Fitted in well tonight with being the 'drama' element of a show that was otherwise all set up for laughs (most intentional, some unintentional like the ending).

Oh, and yes, as Ziggler himself yelled: "about damned time!"

So much <3 for Kane and AJ! If they don't end up having hot crazy babies together, I'm going to be very disappointed.

I liked Vince's comment at the start about Big Show being a wasted investment since 1999. Way to put over the guy headlining your PPV this weekend!

Punk's promo was so WTF?! 'I haven't changed at all since that promo I cut last year, but you're a goatface, Daniel Bryan!! Yay!'

And lols @ the Vince-Cena interaction... "Remember how you lost to Rock at WrestleMania!" "Oh, so WrestleMania wins and losses are important, huh?!" Um, John, didn't you cut an empty arena promo about how winning that match was the most important thing ever and you couldn't afford to lose?! HUH?!

Vader's return was fun nostalgia. I hope they bring back Sid next week!

Man, that was a looooong show. Bring on these weekly 3 hour RAWs (!!) **

I only saw bits of Raw (and missed Vader?!... dammit), but the funniest moment had to be when John Laurinaitis announced "we're going to have a match that's never been seen before.... a tag team match."

Of course he announced the participants who had never been in a tag team match before, but the way he said it was as if a tag team match did not exist prior to that moment.

Lols @ Vader also, although he was pretty good.

But all i could think of was how pissed he was when he fell over leaving the ring that other time.

I watched this tonight for the first time in a while, it actually wasn't bad. Vince is still such a classic character.

YES. 12 year old boy face.

I think Punk's promos are getting too smarmy and bullying, not a good thing.

Thank god...I thought the rest of the world was going insane.

And Punks a dick. Totally looks like someone that should be frying up some fish and chips. I think his gimmick is 'that bully from school that was a total asshole, but you really wanted to be friends with because he seemed cool'

Yeah i don't get the AJ love either, at first i thought i did and then i looked at her properly.

Also Dolph is one of those guys who is brilliant at making everyone else look like a star but really still hasn't shown what it takes to be the 'main' guy. Nothing wrong with being a worker.

According to Punk, he was 'that weirdo from school who he kept to himself and was bullied for it'. So I guess it's only natural that he'd wind up being a bully. But he openly admits that he's an asshole who hates people so eh what are going to do.

I liked how they've actually got a video now of WWE stars and Stephanie McMahon going to schools to talk about the bullying campaign, meanwhile, back in Vince's office, he's contorting his face and mocking an employee with a real life paralysis. Classy. I so hope one of Linda's political rivals finds out about this and spreads the word.

I don't mind people disliking AJ.

It makes the road to my seduction of her much easier.

Dolph's the Curt Hennig of WWE for a few years now. He may never "break through" but goddamn if he can't put on a brilliant show no matter his place on the card.

Is Kane is another angle with a girl that's gonna turn their back on him and leave him heartbroken?
