Tonight's RAW wasn't terrible. In fact, it was pretty good, given that the opening segment forebode something a lot more awful. I have to give them props on how they handled the Chavo/Cedric match. I hate the feud, and I wish it would just end, but it was funny this week. Also, surprise surprise, Miz and Evan Bourne had a good-to-great match.
But the most impressive part of RAW tonight was the classy and respectful send-off they gave Lilian Garcia. An employee for the last decade, Garcia has had her share of lumps, but she's also been an indelible voice for the RAW brand and for the company in general. That they let her say goodbye without shenaningans, without embarrassment, without anything but respect shows a lot. I'm happy, because I've always liked Lilian. Kudos to the 'E for that.
Of course, how they'll follow up next week is another matter altogether. Unlike most people, I have high hopes for Al Sharpton, as long as he's self-deprecating. Of course, it's a go-home show for the PPV, but with track record for those kinds of shows, well, I expect not a whole lot in the way of driving it home. Of course, it'd help if they didn't have a PPV every other week.
