- Drew vs. Kofi was awesome. It told a good story and both guys topped their match at Over The Limit. I went into this PPV expecting nothing and the first match blew me away. The crowd was into the match and it set the tone for a great show.
- Jericho/Bourne & Usos/Harts were both really good matches as well. The card itself wasn't overwhelming and the PPV didn't have any build to it, but we ended up getting some great enjoyable matches.
- Miz was great on the mic but Truth blew ass in the ring today. The Divas match also was sub-par at best. The Miz is a great worker but can't carry a match all by himself.
- Fatal Fourways are always tough because there is too much going on. Fortunately, the Raw ffw was great because of the crowd and the NXT storyline. I'm really happy Sheamus walked out the champ and I'm happy that the match was all over the place and fun to enjoy. Realistically speaking, it didn't have great flow and there wasn't any great wrestling either.
Overall it was a good B+ PPV. I am just a little pissed off it ended 25 minutes early. Don't make me pay 45 dollars for a 2.5 hour PPV when it is slotted for 3 hours.
Sole possession of the lead is a nice place to be. My lead would've been bigger had I got pick Bourne in time, but hey can't complain.
Thoughts on the PPV.
Harts v. Usos was a good match. I like team warfare better than a singles feud so I do have a bias towards that, but I thought this match in general was good. Would have liked to see a Hart Attack or some more crazy Samoan drop spots but good technical wrestling nonetheless.
I hated the fact that both FFWs had run ins, but I guess both needed to be done to further their respective storylines. Cena vs. Barrett is a feud I'd love to see leading up to Summerslam.
Miz is awesome. He needs more screen time. He's ready to main event. I can picture him winning at MITB and just toying with the champs on the mic till he strikes.
Overall decent PPV that furthered the story lines well. It helps that I didn't have very many expectations going into it though.
Just got back from this, was an incredible amount of fun live. Daniel Bryan chants were LOUD. After the show went off the air, cena got on the mic and talked about how there is a "black cloud" over wwe, and that he will keep fighting and blah blah...
The boos were increasing and he eventually said "some sections here tonight have some opinions on whether or not I can wrestle"...pointed mic at crowd and the "you can't wrestle chant" is deafening...talks some more and gets booed up the ramp...excellent.

fantastic. the crowd last night was extremely pro-heel, and i suspect a bit of an "older" crowd. of course still full of kids, but i was impressed with the excitement for the heels.
i can live with a cena vs barrett angle, just as long as we dont see supercena taking on the whole world and still winning again.
very unhappy with what theyre looking to do with punk. on one hand it could be good to have him go up against kane and taker because theyve been in the spotlight before, but this feud will just get pushed aside because a) its on smackdown b) it doesnt involve a title and c) kane and taker really arent great wrestlers. punk and christian need to be pushed in a serious way.
