I don't care that it went to black, but what I do care about is the logic behind it. William Regal ended the show because the fans booed him in the building. So why just punish the fans at home? Why not punish the fans by turning the lights off or something, and thus piss the people at home off as well as the people that actually, you know, "disrespected" him?

James Russell

Powell's POV: It wasn't shown on television, but Regal walked to the ring and stopped the match. Randy Orton left with him and there was no finish.

The only feedback I have for Raw is that idiotic ending puts no extra heat on William Regal. This isn’t 10-15 years ago where something like that would make us hate him. Whether you’re an internet wrestling reader, or a non-jaded fan, everybody will look at that ending as not what an asshole Regal is, but what a waste of time watching that was. For that matter, people will wonder what idiot running the show thought that was a good idea.

It wouldn’t have been as bad if there was something else really satisfying on the show but there wasn’t. No Chris Jericho or Shawn Michaels match, no special appearance by Batista or another brand star, no really good match, no John Cena stuff, nothing! WWE is really trying my patience. "House" just switched to Monday nights, but I decided to watch Raw. Next week I’m watching "House" and using my DVR to tape Raw so I can fast forward through most of this garbage!

I hated how the show ended. I go out of my way to make time to watch Raw and WWE rewards me by cutting the show before the ending? What kind of B.S. is this? I get it, were supposed to hate William Regal more now, but they could have easily done that another way. This ending makes me hate WWE, not Regal. It also doesn't help that the main event was boring anyway. They pull stuff like this and then wonder why their rating keeps falling. Its almost like they want people to stop watching.
