I was suprised it was such a blah show because the events overseas are usually a big deal. This was basically a whole night of squash matchs, with a little storyline thrown in. A much as I think Smackdown needs the draft in order to get some starpower, raw needs an infusion of new faces to mix things up a bit and bolster that mid-card.
Positives:
--Batista on the mic and with more than 3 minutes of TV time.
--Christian, as mentioned, stealing the show.
--Shelton showing some intensity. Not sure if I like the idea of him as a true "heel" yet. hopefully he plays the 'fighting champion' tweener kind of character for a while.
--All the Viscera segments.
Negatives:
--The Diva segment. Pointless and longer than it needed to be. Could those English tramps have walked any slower? Also, that whole thing could've been backstage, and Hogan/HBK could've cut their promo in the ring. Fans would've got the chepa thrill and the Divas get 2 minutes less time on my TV
--Lita talking.
--Kane atacking Tyson for NO REASON. JR couldn't even pull a reason out of his ass...."Kane is out here..like two mack trucks colliding...brglnfkljhjghjbahgawd."
--No Snitsky?
Like I said, an blah show. Nothing terrible, but nothing really memorable either. ind of typical for the Raw right before a PPV, but this was England..expected more, I guess.
