Today's Poll: What was the best segment on last night's Raw? To check out the list of options, click here.

Poll Results: 32 percent of Dot Net voters thought the MMA-style match between Kurt Angle and Samoa Joe was great and would like to see that style featured more often. An equal percentage of voters liked the match, but hope the MMA style doesn't become a fixture in the main event matches. 26 percent didn't care for the MMA-like spots. And nine percent didn't notice the MMA spots. I offered my thoughts on the MMA-style matches in the Dot Net Podcast and in the TNA Lockdown Hitlist yesterday.
