We can all agree that no one what's going on between Kane & Taker.

Yeeeah I'm seriously worried about how they're going to fill out three hour episodes in the future. Well, worried is the wrong word because I don't really care. But my point is that even with a bunch of extra people and not having to watch adverts the show was still way too long.

HHH/Lesnar pissed me off. Remember when Lesnar was an unstoppable monster that fucked Cena in the ass for 20 minutes? Now he's getting beaten up by old retired man HHH. Lesnar has to win at Summerslam or it's the biggest waste of a potentially great storyline I've ever seen.

Shame that the crowd was kind of shit. They didn't even recognise Trish Stratus and most of the returnees got a pretty mild reaction. They should have held it in MSG.

OMG, Yes! Was so good seeing Sean Mooney again! If only they could have done a clip from the WWE Events Center. I wish they'd rehire him full time! And Slick was ridiculously entertaining as the minister. Even Bryan and AJ couldn't keep a straight face throughout. Also, AJ wearing tennis shoes with her wedding dress was an excellent touch. Vintage AJ!

Yea 3 weeks.

Yeah, I had no idea he was gonna be there, but in that dramatic pause after Lawler said "...the Reverend...", I immediately said "gotta be Slick! gotta be Slick!" and when that awesome theme tune kicked in I had a "moment".

Best overseer of a wedding since Peter Cook in Princess Bride.

Disappointed that there wasn't more shenanigans during the wedding though, particularly expected Kane to turn up (he's always involved with these weddings!). Oh well.

Also disappointed that Mooney, Fink & Gene were only used in one segment each (Gene's reaction to Ryder in relation to GTV was pretty damn funny though)!

I like where CM Punk is heading, he has been getting a bit close to "goofy-Cena" behaviour in recent months, will be good to see him a bit more badass again. I thought the way he was cowering in the corner and slowing leaving the ring at the end of the match with "sadface" made him look like a bit of a pussy, but redeemed himself (with me) by taking out The Rock mid-Elbow! That was cool.

I'm not sure how I feel about the Big Show interference, even though it was expected based on recent events, the Twitter poll pretty much confirmed he'd butt in, and the double-interference felt a bit overkill.

Especially after The Rock just had that interaction with Bryan also, were they scared the "universe" were gonna pick Rock v Bryan or something :P

I'll never put you wrong Maccy.

That simply was the most over hyped show WWE ever promoted and I'm pissed off that they managed to convince me I couldn't miss it. Didn't live up to the hype, just didn't deliver on anything at all. Screwy main event with a predictable ending? Could that not have been the end of any old standard Raw rather than what was supposed to be the biggest Raw of the year or even EVER? Horrible tag match, pointless IC title match, barely any surprise returns...this is why I'll only ever pirate WWE shows. Actually I might even stop that because I have to waste so much time skipping segments, when I could be doing something else like, oh I dunno, watching Impact!

Some great segments with The Rock and a couple of cool returns do not make a great show.

Just watched it via YouTube. Pretty awful..I'm not sure how you can defend otherwise.

Cm Punk...doesn't do heel tactic of pinning when the opponent has been knocked out. Turns heel 3 minutes later. Ok....

Rock just gave himself a title shot? Fine with me but really fucking odd.

I can't imagine anything I'd want to watch less than AJ as GM.

SONIC SLURPIES! hey look...SPONSORS!!!

DX reunion went on forever.

Just...so lame...the whole thing. 3 hour Raws will be horrific. All the best to you that can handle it. May God have mercy on your souls.

Considering it was the first unsuccessful MITB cash-in, I wish they'd just had Punk pin Cena after the KO. Would have meant a lot more and made it a bigger moment.

Oh, and Stone Cold's explained his absence; he just had major knee surgery a few weeks ago and didn't want to hobble down to the ring on crutches when everyone would be expecting the ass-kicking Austin. Fair enough.

As soon as Show came out I was thinking oh shit this is going to back fire with Cena overcoming the odd's again.

So I am guessing Punk retains till Rumble loses to Rock and then Rock drops the title to Cena at WM? So does that mean Rock is going to be around for 3 months? Will he be defending the title at EC?

So many questions.

Oh and I still pray that Punk and Austin have something planned.

One thing on the Cena MITB win & cash-in attempt, did the commentators or even Cena himself ever refer to the fact he was the first "victim" of the MITB cashin (with Edge & RVD the first couple of MITB winners over him) and finally got the chance to turn the tables on someone else?
I admit hardly watching Raw anyway, but don't recall it being mentioned at all last night, and thought it would be a pretty big part of his MITB-winner story?

Nah - they were too busy saying no one had ever announced they were going to cash the briefcase in ahead of time and blatantly ignoring history.

OK, yeah it seemed they were all excited over this being his first MITB match & consequently first MITB win, but I would've thought this would have been particularly exciting for Cena as the MITB was the bane of his life at one stage. All those many, many years ago.

Figured Cena may have had at least a throwaway comment or something...

Fun fact, with The Miz winning the IC Title... he becomes the 25th person to become a Triple Crown Champion...

The triple crown is somewhat pointless now with the United States and World Heavyweight Championships.
