When they do the ten thousandth RAW show, this moment will be one of the ones they look back on!

How can someone who is 7 ft and nearly 500 pounds be SO un-intimidating?

Because he's north of 40 and s l o w ?

It's a post UFC world, in which 170 pound Royce Gracie was shown to be far scarier than the guys 3 times his size. Shame Vince apparently didn't get that memo.

So, my thoughts on Raw.... SID! SID! SID! SID! SID! SID! SID! SID! SID! SID! SID! SID! SID! SID! SID! SID! SID! SID! SID! SID! SID! SID! SID! SID! SID! SID! SID! SID! SID! SID! SID! SID! SID! SID! SID! SID! SID! SID! SID! SID! SID! SID! SID! SID! SID! SID! SID! SID! SID! SID! SID! SID! SID! SID!

OK, marking out over, it was a lot better than last week. Former WWE Champs in the WWE Title MITB is interesting. Wonder if they'll add more before the PPV. Seeing as they're not calling it the 'RAW MITB' any more I think they might add former WWE Champs from Smackdown (Del Rio and Mysterio spring to mind, Rey is meant to be returning next week now his suspension is over). I don't mind MITB containing all former champs though, seeing as Raw's midcard is virtually non-existent.

If they do the same on Smackdown and only have World Champs in the match, who can they have? Swagger? Dolph? Can't think of any other former Champs that are available.

Christian, Rey, Mark Henry, Booker T?

And I know you thought of Rey being added to the WWE MITB but he is also a former World Champion so it makes sense for him to be part of that match. And if they add more to the WWE MITB I expect it to be more along the lines of The Miz.

Did anyone notice Del Rio save Ziggler from landing on his head as they both tumbled out of the ring prior to Sheamus coming down?

The fallaway slam in that match looked a bit rough too.

Another "blah" episode.. I'll never understand why they put the main event of the last PPV out on free tv the following week..

I totally forgot Rey is eligible for both matches! Lol! Booker is a decent shout, he always gets a good reaction when he does one-off matches. Christian will be in, but isn't Henry still injured?

One thing made Raw decent: AJ, and plenty of her this week

Cena's 'historical' announcement was lame and everyone knew what it was gonna be anyway.

WWE has reached the point for me now where AJ is officially the only thing in the company I have any interest in on a weekly basis.

Hasn't that already been done? Or was that Vader and the late Yokozuna?

I doubt they will bother distinguishing between the WWE and World Heavyweight Championships. They rarely do it as it is, in WWE, you're just a "former world champion", regardless of which of the two belts you've won. So for that reason, I can see the likes of Ziggler and Swagger (who have only won the WHC) being in there with Jericho/Cena/Show.

I think the SmackDown/World Heavyweight MITB will be a "free for all" as Rhodes hasn't won any world titles and they won't leave him out. Same with Barrett, if he is fit enough to make a surprise return.

RAW was OK, a bit better than last week. I didn't have a big problem with Laurinaitis, I thought he did a reasonable job but Vickie showed him up last night. I don't think I'd want her to become the permanent GM (although I doubt she will, she'll probably get fired in a humiliating fashion on the 1000th RAW. An Edge appearance perhaps?) because it's been done before, but she plays the role well.

Cena's Star Wars promo was up...or should I say, down there with the Cyndi Lauper segment from the week prior. It's the self-knowing laughter that gets me, he knows it's sh*t but it feels like he genuinely doesn't care. Lines about PG won't redeem himself either.

I thought the ending of Del Rio vs Ziggler was clever. Not a fan of yet another triple threat championship match though. I presume it's just part of the set-up for the Del Rio-Sheamus match that never was, to take place at MITB.

Santino's boring me now. A heel turn might freshen him up but while the Cobra sock is (presumably) on WWE Shop, I doubt it.

On a slightly different topic, did anyone watch the new NXT on Sky Sports before RAW last night? Why did the picture keep stuttering? It was like I was watching a full-screen YouTube video.

My dad sounds like Umaga when he sneezes. "WAAAAAAH!"

Feel free to compare your loved ones' mannerisms to those of Samoan bulldozers/any WWE superstar. Try and be nice (i.e., no wives being compared to Yokozuna).

RAW was great. Jericho appearance alone made it good.

AJ is as everyone else says, just brill!

Ziggler is as everyone else says, fantastic!

& as not many seem to have said, hmmm, Jericho's return was immense and is the best thing on wwe tv.

Jericho has been dull and/or terrible for 95% of the time since he returned in January. And it pains me to say that cos he's probably in my Top 10 favourites of all time.

I'm really surprised by that, because for me, its the other way round, where +95% of what he has done this year has been amazing. But i am the biggest Jericho fan, there really hasn't been anything i can think of that has not been splendid.

He also did the promo of 2012:

I just think he is incredible. Not in a gay way though. Maybe in a gay way.
