Opening Segment with H3 was solid build to Mania. Dibiase was the perfect guy to squash considering he hasn't won a match on Raw since July. After the pedigree I got a laugh out of the random fan "Put him in a body bag yeahhh!"
Sheamus/Bourne was short and to the point but ok.
Maryse/Eve leads for worst women's match of the year IMO. I don't know if they were supposed to be that bad due to the continuance of putting Cole over as mega heel but it was bad. It's unfortunate too because just a few weeks ago I was putting Eve over for her continued hard work in the ring. Her match with Natalya was good.
Corre/Santino Kozlov not terrible but could someone tell Justin Gabriel to get back to doing the 450 the way he was doing it when he was in FCW? It seems like the way he's hitting it now is more of a fall off the top rope than a jump. I don't watch Smackdown but it seems like ever since he botched that one with Orton he's timid up there.
Ziggler/Laycool/Vickie vs Morrison/Trish not great. The finish drove me absolutely batshit. Since it was an intergender handicap match one of the rules is that the women have to wrestle the women and vice versa. Well this was all fine and dandy until the finish wasn't Dolph pinning J Mo but instead a tag to Vickie and she covers for the win? Isn't that against the rules? I would have been fine with this if the intergender rules weren't focused on in the match by not only the referee but the commentary as well. It's things like this that make me want to stop watching WWE.
The Wrestlemania Rewind concept in years past has been pretty cool and brought some fresh matchups to Raw. However tonight we only get one match? Orton/Rey was good until the finish which was terrible. Yeah it gives CM Punk the revenge factor and all and builds to Mania but I thought it was worthless.
Speaking of worthless, on the same night we see the worst diva's match of the year we also see the worst acting job. Never question if that really was Randy Orton's wife because that was the most pathetic attempt I've ever seen. "someone get some help." after your husband has just been beaten down in the parking lot by another man with a wrench I think you'd be a bit more hysterical than that.
On a more positive note, Vice President of Corporate Communications is a nice touch.
I semi-marked out when I realized what was happening during the Miz' main event mic segment. Hoping that a new belt would be unveiled. But alas it's the same damn belt (and it is a belt not a fucking championship) just with the logo turned upside down. Hey Miz, when you finish with your "I'm awsome" quote with the mic turned upside down it's back to the WWE logo. Just a heads up. Here's another piece of advice Miz- You know your defending the WWE Title against John Cena at Wrestlemania 27 so you must be studying all of Cena's matches. So let's say hypathetically at some point in that match Cena blasts you with back to back flying shoulder tackles. It would probably be a good idea to NOT THROW A CLOTHESLINE. That is all.
