Seriously? The majority of those matches were great - SummerSlam 2002, that match from RAW in December 2003, the two 3-ways with Benoit. I could think
of much worse things than HBK and HHH locking up again.

Also that Last Man Standing match from Royal Rumble '04. That match was outstanding and one of the ones I can watch over and over again and find
a new reason to love it every time, even if they pussed out of a clean finish and just had both guys unable to answer the count.
I'm OK with a rehash of HHH-HBK, but only if its a one-off thing, or if HBK is the heel to change the dynamic a whole lot.

Shit, I forgot about that match. You know what, I never even really had a problem with the finish seeing as how it was well-executed and lead to the
Michaels/Benoit mini-angle prior to WrestleMania.
A one-off feud with HHH would be fine, as I said, but if HBK turns heel as you mentioned, I'd be up for a feud with just about anyone. His small
runs as a pseudo-heel (Hogan, Cena) were so entertaining and I really do think Michaels shines in that role. At least we're likely to see him in
a tweener role against Taker, which is better than nothing.

So I enjoyed most of well what I watched of Raw and I had the ability to pretty much cherry pick this week as I didn't watch it live this week,
oddly enough forgot.
I thought Heder did a alright job, I dont' mind a guest hose so much if they try to respect the product Im wierd in that way. I liked Seth
Green for that Reason, Shaq, Tyson, and Heder and I think he was average at worst above average in general.
I love the Miz...he is awesome, MVP get punked or what two shots from Big Show and he was out.
The main event was fun too setting up the Royal Rumble I don't think any of the three of them are winning, Im feeling CM Punk more and more.
The opening promo was great as well, if the RR match is not main event of the show, UT gets screwed by HBK after being tossed out of the Rumble.
I didn't see much of the rest of the show because it didn't catch my attention, so I can't rate on that. So I will cap my rating at
3.0 since the rest of the show didn't make me feel compelled to watch.
With that said Im giving the rest 2.6, because it set up the PPV well, main evented The Miz, and well Heder didn't bother me as much as it
seemed to bother others.

A long time net buddy of mine, James Kalyn (formerly of the nWWWo), posted to his friends:

it up."
Well said.

HBK-Taker was top notch.
Everything else was, meh. I'd honestly be surprised if I remember anything about this episode in a month.
2.1 sounds about right.
Actually, I must say that I got a good laugh out of Orton and Masters because all I could think of was The Rick smashing his TV with a golf club
followed by a whiskey enduced coma.

I resent the implication that I have or will ever own golf paraphernalia. Where would you get such a stupid idea?
I, like a true red-blooded and non-douchey American Male, used a bowling ball to express my displeasure.

Golf clubs are awesome for smashing, though. Its the light weight of the club with the heavy end. Maximum impact for effort or something like that.
A baseball bat is fun but heavy and less focused and a bowling ball is just one-and-done.

I chose a golf club over a baseball bat for the reasons Lucky described. Well played Lucky, well played. Smashing velocity versus how much you would
have to clean up. I admit to never considering the bowling ball which is clearly a solid choice for any Hulk Smash.
I'm glad to see that I seem to have gotten the whiskey enduced coma part right however.

I'd like hhh and hbk to go at it again- maybe at Mania? Have them cost each other the rumble and get pissed, big fight at mania- hbk then takes
his annual break, and on his return either goes against hhh once more before moving on, or joins him in dx again; depending on what hhh has done while
he was off.

I hated the end of the show because it always seems ridiculous that they treat these Rumble entries like a big deal. Really, John Cena entering the
Rumble is a major announcement? Like anyone anywhere is going "whaaaaaa? WWE's biggest stars are going to be in this match?" And the way they
built to such an obvious announcement by HHH.
It all just seemed like a huge waste of time. Although I did like the Big Show acting like he was (or actually was) barely conscious. It seems like
other wrestlers just blast the shit out of him sometimes.
