What a joke. I see Dennis Miller on Fox News often and the guy is just obnoxious. I couldn't care less what opinions people have but he is one that is way too over the top with his opinions and always thinks he's right. I was hoping he wouldn't bring his partisan opinions to WWE but unfortunately he did. Guess the guy just can't resist taking an immature shot at people he doesn't agree with.

I'm an extremely loyal WWE fan and sit through the worst broadcasts, but I've never come as close to saying "f--- this" as I was last night. I can't look back and say his overzealous opinions and bashing ruined his performance, because his monologue took care of that for him. As a vet and National Guard soldier I really, really do appreciate his recognition of the troops, but other than that he was flat, showed mostly zero emotion, and seemed more concerned with broadcasting his own agenda.

I've been a wrestling fan for over 30 years, and last night's Raw was the worst wrestling program in history. WWE programing has been on the decline for years, reaching a low point last night. From a horrible guest host, to DX garbage, terrible skits, and another John Cena vs. Randy Orton match, this show sucked.

Vince, you give the audience no reason to care about your product. Tired DX skits, bait and switch matches, and writers without a clue have pissed off the audience, and made Raw unwatchable. Get on board Vince, competition is coming, giving us a choice, and hopefully entertaining us. That's something you haven't done for years!

After watching the December 14 edition of Monday Night Raw, my mind has officially been made up regarding which wrestling show I will watch on January 4. Prior to tonight, I had planned on watching Raw when TNA goes head-to-head with WWE, but that plan changed after watching what WWE delivered on their Slammy Awards version of Raw. This was the worst episode of WWE programming that I can remember from all of 2009.

I'm typically pretty forgiving when Raw features a good dose of "entertainment" over wrestling on Monday nights because I understand that they try to appeal to a wide audience. I might not enjoy all of it but it could also be better for the WWE in some cases. However, there is no way that this episode of Raw entertained any demographic of wrestling fan. It was terrible from start to finish with very few (if any) memorable moments.

After most segments, I was left asking myself, "Who wrote this?" Although I generally think that TNA offers a mediocre overall product, the WWE has lost themselves at least one (and I'm sure plenty more) viewer for the January 4 showdown, and I won't even care if Raw is co-hosted by Bret Hart, The Rock, and God.

Hey, thank you for taking the bullet for the rest of us by watching that 3-hour "special" Raw.

If your eyes haven't been removed from your head via power drill, check out the heels' introduction for the Divas' match. Layla can't enter the ring in her evening gown, despite two attempts, so Beth Phoenix hefts and then dumps her into the ring. Not sure if it were a planned moment or not, but it's pretty darn funny.

Powell's POV: I didn't see it and I immediately deleted the show from my DVR last night because it was so damn bad, so I'll have to take your word for it, Brian. For the record, I didn't receive any positive feedback on last night's show. I like to include a mix of positive and negative feedback, but that wasn't possible this time around.
