Just when you get down and blue about the doom and gloom over this company, creative actually does something "gasp"! good!
The Ric Flair-HHH RAW program tonight was very well done. The way that Flair reacted when HHH named Flair as his opponent was priceless. He looked bewildered yet honoured. The vignettes between Flair and H were very good. I especially liked it when Trips told Ric to lay down for him and Ric finally realized what Trips was doing.
The build to the match was very well done and they actually acknowledged history in the buildup with Flair cutting an awesome promo on Trips. It was Flair's 2nd best promo since he came back to WWE. (The first would have to be when he told HBK to look in the mirror and call it quits during the whole HBK-HHH feud)
The match was easily the best match of the night in terms of getting crowd reaction and while it wasn't the best match around I felt that it could've gone another 5 minutes at least. This match was only the 2nd match in the last few years that took me back to my "mark" days. The first being Rock-Hogan 1.
I just loved how JR was rooting for Flair and how the crowd was just eating up everything Flair did. It would've been nostalgic if Flair won the title. Even if it would be only for a week.
I must say that it's kinda sad that Flair overshadows the whole main event scene as the announcement of the expected HIAC between Trips and Nash met with very little reaction.
Overall I give props to the writing staff for at least doing something right but if Flair ends up still being all buddy buddy with Trips next week then all this good feeling will be flushed down the toilet.
