Its amazing that they can have 3 hours of RAW and only have enough content to barely fill a quarter of that.

What a fantastic Raw. Really enjoyed every part of it. Paced really well, good promo time, matches with meaning, no overuse of people, interesting main event that wasnt something that should be saved but was interesting enough to build up to.

Think you're wrong, Samo, gonna guess you've read it not watched it

I watched it but I cant share your enthusiasm. Aside from the IC title match, Heymans promo and AJ vs The Miz it was all entirely forgettable and interchangeable.

I thought it was really good for every story. Mad or exciting? Not majorly, but good moments and everything on character was on point. Moved on things for every feud ahead of the PPV in a way that was consistent and clever. Look back at that and think of each feud for Fast Lane. You'll see great work on all of them that wasnt desperate, just good.

Fun fact

The Intercontinental titles of both WWE and New Japan are held by Canadians with the same initials
