Would have been cool if they took it in a different way (Lawler hits him, gets suspended, has to earn his way back and then ultimately gets to fight Cole at WM)...but I understand they want to keep them separated until WM when Lawler finally gets to whoop dat ass.

Kenny King vs. Chris Hero was pretty good.
Really looking forward to the iPPV this weekend.

Miz and Cena's promos were well and good, but this RAW sucked.
That Undertaker countdown was a crock of shit. Very underwhelming segment considering the build up.
I find it hilarious that whenever Gail Kim is actually booked in a match, she never really does anything and just when she's about to she always ends up taking some bump that removes her completely from the action.
Lawler should have snuffed Cole the instant he brought up his mother.
The 'Taker-HHH thing was good, IMO. The intro and countdown sucked...but the simple stare down with no words worked for me. I actually think they should have teased out a few weeks the idea that 'Taker is dismissing HHH as an opponent.Comment

I also liked the Taker/HHH thing. Kind of hard not to know that HHH was coming back when they were advertising him for a MSG show here during Raw.
Pretty obvious that the Rock is going to be the special guest ref of the Miz/Cena match.
Don't mind Duggan going into the HOF.
I also find it hard to believe that the Lawler's mother thing wasn't cleared by him first, given how scripted the WWE is. I was a little less upset that they went there after realizing that.UglyChristmasLights.com - Celebrating 10 years with the 2011 collection!Comment

I never understood Jim Duggan, or why people liked him. He always annoyed me, even as a kid. Total shit in the ring.Comment

Yes, he sucked balls in the ring due to only having a moveset consisting of chops, punchs, clothslines, kicks and the Almighty "3-point stance" shoulderblock finisher he had... BUT he's over forever.
Only Ric Flair, Hogan, Taker, Triple H (now), Austin, The Rock and Cena have that distinction as far as getting the crowd involved.Comment

He was a King of the Ring, he won the FIRST EVER Royal Rumble, he beat cancer; put over Yokozuna as this giant, American-Killing monster (I think they described Duggan's injury after their match as a collapsed lung... that was UNHEARD of in the 90s as far as kayfabe went then); and I'm pretty sure he was a "Real American" before Hulk Hogan ever was.

Duggan made his name back in the Mid-South and UCW when he was apart of the Rat Pack and later feuded with guys like Ted Dibiase and Terry Gordy. Back then is when he was pretty good.
He was actually rather shit in the WWF...but he was supposedly a strong worker on house shows and he was always one of the more popular mid-card guys...he was a likable guy.Comment

Admittedly, my personal Pro Wrestling knowledge stems for the early-90s and onward...
Happy to see that there's other VSNers to pick up the slack. :D
Although, I'd like to see Empire be more specific unless he's talking about Cena.Comment
