RAW - Jan. 22, 2006

Well, there was a lot of good stuff here (having Ric Flair perform in his hometown, the match between Shawn Michaels and Shelton Benjamin given time to develop), some really bad stuff (Chris F. Masters in that same main event match with Flair), and some downright pointless/strange stuff (give it up Vince. You aren't entertaining and you make no sense!), but this show also failed on one specific point:

It failed to make me want to see the Royal Rumble.

It isn't worth me wading through the toxic cloud of cigarette smoke at a bar, and I don't have the funds to order it... too many sucky matches for my taste.
