COMMENTS: They're giving Paul Wight the nikcname, "Big Nasty," obviously a ripoff of Kevin Nash's nickname, "Big Sexy." I wished the Undertaker/Mankind match wouldn't of gotten screwed up. I remember when most of RAW's matches were long and cool, but now it's just hte main event. Public Enemy is getting a good push, I think they'll be a cool tag team. The show get's a B+. C ya next week.
