    I never thought I'd ever hear a "Riley" chant from any crowd. Honestly!

    It'll be interesting to see if the Riley chants carry over to next week's show.

    Kharma = ? Divas?

    I'd say about 4/5.

    The choice of Coldplay's The Scientist is interesting considering the music video.

    Excellent tribute!

    The longer Raw went on it looked like there wouldn't be one but thankfully there was.

    They really know how to put a good video package together, I was surprised with the song choice. Pity they went to ads straight away, would've liked them to ring the bell for him

    It's not. That's the kind of song I'd expect WWE to use!

    Check out the comments. I had to look there to name check the song title. I'm with it. ;)

    I loved that episode of raw. From the opening to the matches, dolphs blonde hair returns, punks tribute, show mowed down to Riley beating on miz. I enjoyed everything.

    If Miz fired him should he now only be on SD (since he was drafted)

    Decent Raw. Thought they might have announced the main event for CP but otherwise it was good. Nice to have gotten rid of Cole basically talking about himself all the time. Yeay for the return of Bleach Blond Ziggler....

    I thought that was a very good raw (ok ok i know im a hart mark so i was always gonna like that! ;) - just get that in before lizzy says anything)

    Alex Riley could be a bonafide superstar (in the literal sence not the wwe sence) and a feud with the miz could propel him - 2 very very good talkers could tell a great story!

    Truth is a legend - that is all!

    Punk on commentary and with the macho tribute was amazing!

    Nexus getting a push again = :D

    Kharma going schitzo has me very intrigued (wwe calling it "the Charlie Sheen of meltdowns" made me laugh)

    Proper Old School Sharpshooter = :D:D

    Overall i enjoyed it!

    I didn't like Punk being screwed in the finish. Otherwise, solid episode.

    Actually, speaking of Punk getting screwed, was it me or was every face acting like a jerk?

    Big Show and Kane attacked Ricardo because he dared ask them to not sit on Del Rio's expensive car.

    Cena threatens Truth because he was asking for a title match having never had one.

    Bourne attacked Swagger after losing the match.

    Riley attacked his boss because he was fired for legit reasons.

    Hart screwed Punk.

    A major night for Alex Riley. A chance to create a new upper mid card face if they handle it well. It got off to a good start anyway.

    Nice seeing Bret Hart, the Macho Man video and CM Punk in the Macho Trunks.

    Hopefully they just completely bury the Cole/Lawler stuff now as it seems he is sticking with commentary. I would have liked to see him manage a wrestler and take on a face Swagger.

    Alex has the potential to be a big star

    Im sure he'll get there as his fan base is growing fast.

    I taped RAW last night and watched it this afternoon. Can't add anything that hasn't been said already, so I've picked a few quotes to sum it up for me.

    i liked this weeks show, although there isnt many things which will have me wanting to tune in next week;

    Is that the end of Cole as the antagonist of the 'wwe universe'?
    I hope not, last night they made it feel like it was. That cole and lawler would go back to being broadcast buddies and that the whole thing will be forgotten about.
    I know its been thrown around that cole is likely to be the GM of raw but he has said a few times in previous weeks "oh i dont agree with that decision", "Dont get me started on what i think of that.." and the likes.
    Honestly with bret coming back on sunday then showing up last night i was really really expecting at the end of the show to find out that cole had figured out that Hart is the Raw GM.


    I didnt watch the kharma segment, but wtf?! :confused:

    Nexus have the tag belts.. again?
    Nice one! But wait.. who are they to feud with?..
    Big Show has been taken out and obviously Del rio will feud with Kane for a bit.
    Zack Ryder and Hawkings perhaps?
    Sheamo and Drew?

    As much as i love to see Punk having gold, as it near guarantees proper screen time, i hope this isnt going to be a wasted regin. :(
