Eldraen Pharr of New Haven, Conn. (5.0): Best Match: The Brian Kendrick vs. Jerry Lawler. Worst Match: N/A. Okay, any human with a pulse that watches Raw regularly clearly understands that this show was the same as last week. But with that said, the issue with the quality of product that Raw is giving is a reflection of the wrestling climate as a whole. There's nothing out there pushing the WWE to try anthing out of the box. The three guys at the top (Orton, Cena, and Hunter) have a vision for the direction of the business and quite apparently the WWE is following that. Hunter, Cena, and Orton will never get tired of wrestling each other because the money is too good and the crowd still pops. So it's up to all the fans to wait patiently until the WWE is forced to truly "shake things up." I'm hopeful the shows will get more refreshing, but I'm also aware that the demographic that screams the loudest and pays the most will get the most attention. Youngsters with shirts and hats will always remember Orton as the bad guy and Cena and Hunter as the big, strong good guys. Night of Champions will be a good pay-per-view and this show did nothing to take focus off that theme.

Thom White from Dayton, Ohio (3.5): Best Match: Lawler vs Kendrick. Worst Match: Jericho squash/ZZ Top. This was one of the worst Raws in a long time. I am sick of Randy Orton and Legacy and Triple H and John Cena. It is time to get some fresh storylines. I would like to see Raw go back to being controversial. For example, Kendrick mentioned that Lawler has never won a WWE Title, which is true (though Lawler holds the record for most title wins when you look at his career outside of the WWE). Even though Lawler is around 60, put a belt on him for a few weeks. It would be controversial, I know, but since WWE has glorified Flair and Hogan in recent years, why not the King as well? Santino needs to go to ECW, his time on Raw is over. I enjoy the divas as much as anyone but with the exception of Mickie James and Beth Phoenix, who Raw has also ruined, there is no talent in that division. Kofi Kingston is athletic but his character bores me. Raw has managed to destroy Jericho as well.
