I felt in many ways that this week's episode of RAW was a major step back in terms of quality.

The Molly Holly - Gail Kim match was very good for giving us more of an idea of how Gail wrestles... but it was also way too short in my view.

The 6-man elimination tag match, the Dudleys versus Evolution - what was the point? Other than Triple-H squashing three people in one match, there was none. Generally a 6-man match at least allows one team to eliminate one or two of the opponents. That didn't happen here.

Plus, you had nearly 25 minutes wasted for La Resistance to mangle the French National Anthem (instead of wrestling), then for the Dudleys to do the same for the American one. Major wastage of time.

By far the worst thing to me was the interview with Kane. I know they're trying to re-invent him. They tried to explain away his lack of scars (causing a coninuity glitch: the skit a few years ago where the Stooges took off his mask, were grossed out by what they saw). However, the setting fire bit was just downright sick - and Jim Ross isn't a good actgor to even pull it off.
