I didn't think it was that bad an event.
I've said before that AJ added to the Punk/Bryan feud wouldn't be a problem if they weren't already feuding over the wwe title. All it does is make the title less important than some mental lass.
Out of the guys in their match I'm glad Ziggler won. I was hoping it was between him, Rhodes and Kidd as those are the 3 guys who have the potential to be big stars so long as they actually get some protection. That does not include getting booted in the face when trying to cash in the briefcase

I enjoyed MiTB, Glad that Ziggler won. The guy is so over its ridiculous. The Punk and Bryan match was excellent, as these 2 normally are. AJ played her part well, again, and didn't involve to much. (the spot of putting the chair in the middle of them was nice) As for the other MiTB match it was obvious Cena would win, but again I found the match enjoyable.
On a side note, sticking Sin Cara in the MiTB was always going to result in some botches.

I think a lot of Sin Cara's botches are the fault of his mask. Reading one of Chris Jericho's books he makes mention of his time in Japan and he was going to be Justin Ligar's evil twin, which resulted in him being under a mask which he claims was impossible to see out of which lead to a terrible match and an quick end to the angle.

I just thought the ladder matches were boring. MITB matches have gone really downhill, they're done all wrong. They're not matches. Punk v Bryan in a ladder match would have been interesting.

Really good Raw last night.
It was actually well booked and had angles that made sense for a change and ended with a great hook to get people to watch next week and setup for Summerslam

At the time I loved it when DX reunited (HHH, Road Dogg, Billy Gunn and XPac but not Chyna) on Raw in late 99 and beat down Austin and Rock. However when you look back now you kinda feel like all involved (inc Tori at a later stage) where presented as lackies for HHH (who was getting over huge admittedly).
As an old-school Raw fan I have two great memories before the Attitude Era too:
A young rookie named The 123 Kid (who would become Xpac years later) cleanly pinning established star Razor Ramon (Scott Hall).
Marty Jannetty returning and pinning his old tag-team partner HBK for the IC belt (which IMO meant so much more back then than the belt does now).
"The Mail understands..." NOTHING!
