Working With What You Have...

Want to start off by saying how upset I was that my DVR didn't record anything again, and Tim and I had to watch Raw on the computer. Ridiculous technology!

Imagine my surprise when I heard Lillian Garcia's voice. Though it was for one night only, I was absolutely thrilled to see her back. Due to most of the Raw roster being stuck in Ireland because of the volcano, the show had a very thrown together feel. The opening segment featuring a confrontationn between Triple H and The Straight-Edge Society went way too long, and was obvious filler. In fact, nothing stood out until Jack Swagger's open challenge was answered by The Undertaker. The surprisingly well-paced, entertaining match that followed was a treat. It showed me that Jack Swagger may indeed be a great champion someday. The ability is definitely there. That match made the show for me. Would love The Undertaker to get drafted to Raw next week, and a feud between the two to start. Could be awesome.

With the exception of a few comedic moments, nothing else of any consequence happened. Seeing The Undertaker on Raw was definitely worth my time. Tim's face when the gong rang out was priceless.
