-- 8/3 WWE Raw Reax

Neil O'Brien of Vancouver, Canada: Some have questioned whether Shawn Michaels really meant it in the past, but, if what we were lead to think tonight is true, Shawn Michaels Really was "saved" ... saved two hours of his life by not watching the absolute train wreck that was Raw.

David Hayter of London, U.K. (1.5): Best Segment: Mark Henry's effort. Worst Segment: Everything Else. I've never actually given a WWE show a review below 4.0 in a reax before, but I found this show enraging and quite frankly insulting to my intelligence. This was a mind-numbing two hours and in my mind only one word can accurately describe this show: Morose. Completely and utterly morose. That is my entire review. I refuse to give this show any more of my time or effort. This is already more thought than this show deserves.

Mike Carrier of Anchorage, Alaska (2.0): Best Match: Huh? Worst: EVERYTHING! Please send The Miz over to Smackdown where he will not rest in the shadow of poor storytelling and writing via the lame-heads at Raw. Perhaps at Smackdown he can be a legit star on a show where there is actually wrestling and not lame acting. Unbelievable. Money speaks louder than wrestling apparently, as each time there is a guest host something stupid happens, or it ends up turning in to a lame infomercial. Just get a wrestler in that slot and develop some consistency, for corn's sake! It's time to stop insulting the intelligence of the adult fans for the sake of nine-year-olds (of which mine is getting increasingly impatient with the stupidity of Raw these days) and get to developing some competitive wrestling matches and feuds based around titles while developing the younger talents. Triple H vs. Legacy ... again? PLEASE! I don't know what else to say, other than if TNA can come up with a competitive product without the crude language and lame brain "hey, let's do another gimmick match because we can" attitude, they actually could give Raw a run for their money. Monday Night Wars part two, anybody? Raw seriously needs some competition to wake them up out of their stupor. Oh yeah, it's a PG show, right? So why were they promoting another R-rated movie so proudly? Hmmm...
