Yeah 8/10 the ending was really great, the rest of RAW was not bad too.

 

[Just Kevin]

Very good episode... haven't watched in a while and I was pleasantly surprised.

8/10

 

[Mr. Roman Empire]

Good Raw for sure.

Did anyone else hear Ronda call Becky a "Ginger Douche in handcuffs" lol? Also she called the Raw Womens Championship a "belt" lol Vince probably cringed so hard.

And this Becky storyline is literally just Stone Cold. For fuck sake, what is her injury gonna lead her to the wearing knee braces next?

really stoked about Batista finally igniting that Triple H feud, but Triple H better not be a face in this scenario because it definitely looked like it in this segment. I hope this is another one of those feuds where there's no face or a heel, but rather 2 big names going at it.
Actually quite surprised that Triple H got cleared. Didn't they say he'd be out until way after Mania?

Would have preferred a surprise return for Reigns but it was apparently his decision so I guess he really wanted to get back as soon as possible. Interested to see where he's going to be placed on the Mania card and who he's gonna go up against. Maybe give Dwayne a call or smth.
I'm definitely not a doctor but I don't think being in remission means that he fully beat cancer, or does it? Nevertheless, he's cleared to wrestle so that's good

Can tell Bruce Pritchard is back in creative

Good show overall, went with a 6/10...Just a few quick notes:

A) Good to have Roman Reigns back on the show but most importantly, good to see Joe doing well in regards to his heath. THAT is obviously the most important issue here...

B) Still on the Roman Reigns subject, considering what we saw last night with him getting slightly physical (granted, just a few superman punches and one spear but phsyical nonetheless) I would not be shocked at this point if he actually made it on the Mania card after all, even it were to be a tag match (with Ambrose, one would persume, against Corbin and Mcntyre)) where he'd be protected and woudn't have to work a full match. Ya know, a hot tag, a few moves just like tonight, get the win and have that feel good moment...

C) I've mentioned this time and again and can never stress this enough. It's the golden rule folks: Vince never teases something if he thinks he won't be able to deliver.

In this instance, I honestly don't understand why people are so surprised with the Batista and HHH angle. As soon as they did that first tease on Smackdown a few months back, it was as if it was officially announced already. And yes, great to FINALLY have Batista back....

Actually quite surprised that Triple H got cleared. Didn't they say he'd be out until way after Mania?

Well, for one, HHH isn't excactly your regular guy and two, well, let's just say he is a part timer and part timers don't have the obligation of drug testing. And besides, there ain't no chance HHH would miss out from Mania; we can;t go by without the obligatory HHH match...

but Triple H better not be a face in this scenario because it definitely looked like it in this segment.

Yeah, I agree this would be quite weird, having HHH being the face in this story line. On the flipside, my understanding of the situation is that Batista wants to put over HHH at Mania (or so it's claimed he has said) so I guess...this works?

We shall see...

...Okay, as much as I am tired of "part-timers" at Wrestlemania...

OH MY GOD! DAVE KILLED RICKY! THAT BASTARD!

Guys do not rate my rate threads with a disagree, please. I spend a lot of my free time making these threads to give you a forum to speak your mind. If you want to disagree with me on opinions, that is fine. But stop doing it on a rate thread OP. I have never once inserted my opinion in a rate thread's original post and the disagreement rating on my hard work is insulting

I do these because I appreciate you and I appreciate courtesy. Maybe courtesy in return is something I deserve.

It was definitely one of the better Monday Night RAW's in awhile. That makes two good RAW episodes in a row??
