Reviews/Thoughts:
We're in Ottawa for this RAW Supershow, and Alberto kicks off the show. Alberto says he's the greatest of the great. Oops! Bret Hart comes out to a huge pop! Bret's still gotta get used to this WWE/World champ difference. You know, if Bret's jacket had those pink tassels, I woulda agreed that the jacket was from 1994. Here comes Cena to defend his good buddy Bret. Alberto brought his set of jalapenos! Alberto throws Ricardo to Cena, and Ricardo doesn't like it. Oh, how about Bret in the match? John Lauranaitis comes out. Tag match! Alberto and Ricardo vs. Cena and Bret! I like it!

Dolph/Swagger vs. Morrison.Riley. Typical tag match with Ziggler and Swagger colliding, and then  Ziggler watches Swagger get pinned.

I guess Truth can show his face in Canada all the time now. These two are awesome, using each other's catchphrases. Miz vs. Kingston on this show. Good stuff here.

Vickie and Kelly Kelly in a match tonight because Vickie basically ran her mouth too much.

Really? I didn't know Sheamus was full of personality. Yup, we know who's winning this one. Looks like we have a new Celtic Cross (to replace Finlay's version).

Time for Cena/Bret and Alberto/Ricardo. Ricardo getting thrown to the wolves. Bret gets the last word with the Sharpshooter.

Divas time with Vickie and Kelly. That was a waste of time.

Champion vs. champion to end the wrestling portion of the night. Orton and Rhodes are pretty damn good. Great pedigrees -- and it shows. Mark Henry showed up early in the match and stuck around. Good stuff from Orton and Cody. Cody takes off his mask to use as a weapon and gets the pin.

HHH and Punk with a war of words to finish the show. Punk brings up the ice cream bars! It's Phil Brooks talking to Paul Levesque! Two mics go dead! Punk clocks HHH with a third mic and the DX crotch chop at the end! Yes! Loved the end!
