For what was hyped up as a "must see" raw, i did not find anything special about this show what so ever. In fact, i'd go as far to say this was a sub par show. Don't get me wrong, i liked the very ending, but match or match, promo for promo, it wasnt good. Cena on the cabana was very lame. I didnt care for the opening Vince promo, nor his rants about the government and media throughout the show. Divas match, Snitsky match, King vs King again. Cena vs Umaga with a no finish. Heres how i broke it down
Matches: 2.75
Battle Royal for GM was a nice change. Wasnt too unpredictable that regal won. Other than that, nothing too great.
Promos: 2.5
Didnt care for the vince promos, and Cabana was the worst show ever. The dating game was arlight though.
Entertainment 4.00
It was a pretty entertaining show. It kinda had you wondering what would happen next. Except for the Cena/Umaga match, Especially after Umaga came out for Marella. I guess i kept expecting more, and the endign was real well done too.
Overall 3.00
I don't think this show did what it was supposed to do, although it did create a nice storyline to run on . I was expecting more in the matches basically. I wish they would hype up the Cena/Orton fued more. This is argueably one of the biggest matchups in 6 years, and by watching the past two shows you would think Cena was fighting Carlito at SummerSlam. I dont think everyone will agree with on this show, but everyone has different likes.
