[7.0] "First show where I felt the invasion angle is a real angle. After the 1st dud a few weeks ago and the transition from old invasion to new invasion, they are finally getting it right. I don't like the invasion angle at all, but if they're going to do it, this is the way, or at least better than the last way. One thing I don't get is how will WCW and ECW "takeover" WWF? Each side keeps acknowledging the threat but nobody is actually explaining how that takeover would supposedly happen. Aside from my feelings about this stupid angle, the "old stone cold" is back, which yeah that's better than what we've seen over the past few weeks but I hope they don't ruin the heel stone cold that he's been between WM17 and KOTR. Unfortunately it looks like that's where they're going with this. So I'd say, I'm enjoying what they're doing now more than what they've done over the past three weeks, but I wish they hadn't veered so hard from what they were doing between WM17 and KOTR. Also, it was nice to see them at the friendly tap, but I would have loved to see another bar brawl. Was waiting for something to happen there. As typical for a Raw leading up to a PPV, there were a lot of overbooking and false/no finishes, ref bullshit, etc, But the fights were decent while they lasted. Nothing boring really but nothing great. One thing I'll mention is the Trish/Terri fight.. Holy shit those two girls, especially Terri, took some bumps that looked really painful. I recognize that these two are the least two talented people who wrestled on this show, but the bumps looked real. I wouldn't be surprised if Terri came away with a neck or back injury. Having Booker T defend his title AGAIN (4 shows in a row) is definitely overkill to me. Booker T hasn't looked like a champ in any of these matches, which makes it worse. Kurt Angle in a hardcore match against Raven is a strange way to give Raven a push. As others have mentioned, the main thing is Austin coming back to his old self. The massive crowd pop he got for that really goes to show how ridiculous the last few weeks have been. Stone Cold wasn't likeable or hateable, he was unlikeable, which in wrestling is something I think most guys do not want to be. At a time where most of the top WWF guys from the past couple years are either gone or injured, this has been baffling to me. Glad he's back. Now let's get Kurt Angle back as well instead of having him fight non title hardcore matches. As far as announcing goes, Michael Cole is a fucking turd. JR is completely marking out as Austin comes back as the "old austin" and Cole is just the guy who states the obvious while raising his voice. Just has Heyman was really starting to gel with JR too."

[10.0] "The matches are whatever This show is about one thing, and that thing is the return of the old Stone Cold. The weeks worth of build up, Vince trying to convince Austin finally comes to an end and Austin returns to one of the loudest pops you'll ever hear. Crowd goes wild, Austin is kicking everyone's ass, JR is screaming at the top of his lungs, Austin stunning everyone in sight."

[7.0] "Another week of good booking of the invasion but this time the matches are solid although all of them are overbooked to hell. The Stone Cold story throughout the show was great and the pop he got for coming out was amazing. But man does the invasion team look weak compared to the WWF'S"
