Momentus occasion, I watched a full episode of Raw. So I thought I'd celebrate with my thoughts.

Let me know what you guys think about...well what I think.

MITB Qualifier:
Jeff Hardy def. Snitsky

What can I say, Jeff Hardy in a push vs a jobber ever since the move to Raw. Nothing too special, once again unclean moves by Jeff in the match and a poor worker in Snitsky didn't do much for me.

Paul Burchill (w/ Katie Lea) def. Super Crazy
Once again, a sort of new push against a jobber. Nothing special, nor do I expect much to come from it. The only positive is that I kind of like Paul's finisher, so yeah.

MITB Qualifier
Mr. Kennedy def. Val Venis

See a formula developing? Push vs a complete jobber? Unfortunate isn't it, they could've at least made it vaguely competitive. Nothing special in this match again.

Steel Cage Match
Mr. McMahon (w/ JBL) vs Hornswoggle (w/ Finlay) (No contest)

Nothing out of the ordinary, you knew Horny was going to get pummeled. It probably went on a little longer than I thought it would, but I guess it didn't bother me too much. This is one of those mulligan matches that I expected nothing from going in, so despite it being stupid anyway, it didn't bother me. Handcuffing Finlay in the ring was a nice touch.

Maria (w/ Santino) def. Beth Phoenix
Yay she poses for playboy, would be much more surprising had I not known about a month ago. Um, Maria and Beth did a decent job with the execution of the moves. Santino did the corny "o I'm happy for you" routine, worked out pretty well.

Last chance match to main event WM
John Cena def. Randy Orton (w/ HHH as special guest referee)

You knew the result. The match was decent, nice to see Orton not just tap to the stfu so easily like many others.

Overall:
6/10
Not many high points, but slightly below average. Predictability hurt the rating of the show and the fact that there wasn't much to work with. I'd like to have at least seen a mid-carder (like an Umaga, half a tag team, whatever) in the matches to make it more entertaining.

Well here are my thoughts:

Jeff Hardy vs. Snitsky-A VERY Easy Match, I knew that Jeff Hardy was going to win it.

Paul Burchill vs. Super Crazy-Super Crazy is AWESOME, but this Paul Burchill (who use to be on SD! is ridiculous)

Mr. Kennedy vs. Val Venis-I KNEW Kennedy was going to win.

Vince McMahon vs. Horswaggle in a Steel Cage Match-I am a Cage Match Fanatic, but THIS was STUPID!

Finlay getting pummeled by Vince's Friend JBL....well let me just say that JBL is going to FEEL the WRATH of Finlay

Big Show and Pretty Boy was something

Maria vs. Beth Phoenix-PASS!

John Cena vs. RKO-I knew that Cena was going to win.

Overall-TERRIBLE!

McMahon having JBL massacre Hornswoggle was just disgusting.

Really uneventful, but it was pretty sweet seeing Cena eat a pedigree from HHH at the end.

Finlay is going to bring his Shieliegh and BEAT the DOG MESS out of JBL!

I can't wait to see that.
