RAW had at least 3 major things, a few crap spots, but was overall great.

First the good: Shawn Michaels and Kane first. Shawn is taking time off for the birth of his second child, and for a contract negotiation. If everything works out we had a great old school feud start, and maybe the birth of a feud for Kane that he'll really benefit from.

Second: the Highlight Reel. HHH will try to destroy Eugene next week, and fans will actually care about it - at least on TV. This could go any number of ways.

Third: the closing match. They really gave it the time to develop, and it paid off greatly. Both Benoit's team and Evolution came off excellent here.

Now for the crap:

Tyson Tomko again showed how it takes a lot more than being big and mean-looking to be a wrestker. That looked incredibly sloppy.

Lita pregnant: the less said, the better.

The flag match: the concept itself wasn't so bad, but the fact that either Benoit / Edge or Hurricane / Rosey are the only other tag teams is a huge problem.

For those who thought a womens tag match with Stacy Keibler was bad, I have to say: she isn't great as a wrestler, but she is improving.
