- no points to Angle for the backstage promo they showed on delay that aired on WWE.com Unlimited
- No points for Lita during the Masterlock challenge; she did nothing.

Not a bad Raw IMHO. Could've been better but we've certainly seen much worse. Edge's ladder leap on Flair was certainly worth the price of a ticket.
I do have a gripe...nothing more, nothing less...regarding our scoring system. Now I know it's fair for everyone but when I see that Torrie Wilson receives 25 points for doing ABSOLUTELY NOTHING in her team's win and Flair gets a pathethic 2 more points in a bloodied championship LTC match...well, that just ain't right! Granted he lost but c'mon! Wilson didn't even enter the ring (except for her lousy entrance). And for Candice to receive exactly as many points as Flair......UGH!
Ok, rant over...;)
Did like seeing that VKM could have a Edge-Flair championship match and for it to be entertaining to the masses....well done, Vince and Co. Just wished that Captain Charisma was still with us. Letting him and Edge go for the title like this would have been awesome.

Captain Charisma is no longer with us?! lol...
I thought Flair was about to be "no longer with us" after some of those bumps. A big round of applause for the performance, but man... I get nervous every time the guy hits the ground.
I am a little surpised Edge took a couple big ones - especially from the ladder in the ring to the outside through the table... and especially with him being injury prone, just acquiring the title and the rash of injuries across the rosters made it seem a bit risky IMO.

Flair certainly isn't going to be with us any longer if he keeps doing matches like that. Edge's backward bump from the tipped-over ladder to the outside table was definitely cool. I'm thinking he could have seriously got hurt there. Kudos to both performers. If the title is going ot be up for grabs, this is how you go for it.
While I'm thinking about it, was the Angle-Edge encounter at the beginning of the show a hint that perhaps the rosters will be merged once and for all? Perhaps Angle and Cena will unify the titles at Wrestlemania. Just a thought.

When they were hyping the TLC match they kept showing all of Edge's experience. I had not seen the Summerslam 2000 match vs. the Dudley's. Did you see Bubba's fall from the top of the ladder, over the ropes onto like 4 tables?!? THAT one was set up towards the ramp with lots of room for error. Edge's fall was DANGEROUSLY close to both missing the table, catching the rope and hitting the barracade too! There is not THAT much space between the ring apron and the barracade to judge a 10+ foot fall!!! Did you notice Edge lifting one leg to make sure he missed the rope?!?!?
Glad I have this one on the DVR!

I did notice Edge's lifting of his leg. I'll agree--it was way too dangerous of a risk to take, especially at a non-PPV. But for entertainment value added to the fact that the title was on the line, it was pretty awesome to see. Perhaps this gives Flair's IC title just a tad more credibility with the performance he put in here. That is, if he ever defends it again. LOL

hahahahaha - with quality gimmicks like "The Gymini", The Boogeyman and Eugene, the WWE doesn't have to resort to cheap parlor tricks like big bumps every night! We get quality soap-opera like writing here! (sic)
What was as bad as missing the table was....didn't Spike hit the back of his head on the missed table??
