[6.0] "I'm clearly not the target audience for a farewell show for a legend. It's very cool and obviously emotional, but for me, it didn't hit the same. Ric Flair wasn't a wrestler I really grew up watching. The show itself had good storytelling, but as a post-Mania RAW, it felt pretty average. You can see the aura it's supposed to have, though."

[8.0] "Ric Flair's Farewell show. The final 25 minutes of the show being, rightly so, dedicated to the farewell announcement by Ric Flair (with extended scenes on the WWE Network). Ric's speech, the tributes and showings from the legends and locker room just feels so right. In terms of the actual show, there were highs and lows. The Cryme Time/Cade & Murdoch tag match ends just as it was really getting going, the pairings worked so well together and a few more minutes and non rushed finish would have cemented it. Same goes for the other tag match, both which end in rollups. Jericho/Punk doesnt touch as anything above the norm. Randy Orton and Matt Hardy but on a very decent showing with Hardy getting majority of the offence. Maria/Santino is a joke and should never have been booked, even in 2008! Opening promo from Randy and JBL was very good whilst Big Show and Khali is as bad as you can imagine without having to watch it."

[7.0] "A solid, not great show. As other comments noticed, the Flair stuff probably hit harder at the time than it does now. Not to say it isn't deserved, but it doesn't turn a fine show into a great one. The tag-team sequencing during this time period was very frustrating, Kendrick & London going over the champs in a 3 minute match was silly. Wish they got more time. Cade & Murdoch had lost 22 straight matches leading into this one, so not much of a surprise with that result either. The Punk-Jericho & Hardy-Orton matches were both solid."

[6.0] "Like, it was kind of fun and all and well put together, but there's no way it deserves the rating it does in my opinion and I'm convinced it's only because it's Ric Flair. Otherwise it was a very above average show and even the Flair celebration segments weren't particularly inspired in any way."

[9.0] "Probably the best Raw of the year here. Everything on the show was good except the Khali segment and Santino/Maria, and Flair's sendoff was really well done."

[9.0] "Real fantastic RAW from top to bottom. Let's start at the top, the jbl and Orton promo was surprisingly well. I got nothing for jbl but that was a great promo // for what it was Rhodes and Holly vs Kendrick and London was decent enough and I'm glad the 'underdogs' won // both Jericho v Punk and Orton vs Hardy were good enough to watch for mid RAW // and of course the whole reason for the high rating, the send off of ric Flair. I'm not a Flair fan at all really but this was very beautiful and wonderfully done, I love that the WWE network has an extended cut of it"
