The Doctor's Weekly Raw Recap: The 149 Things We Learned, Loved and Hated
Tonight's Raw was certainly a show with a lot packed into the two-hour broadcast. There was advancement in just about every major feud in WWE right now.
Jack Swagger defeated Zack Ryder to become the new US Champion only to have his butt kicked by Cena later in the show in a great showing of aggression from Cena.
Perez Hilton made a useless cameo during the tag team match between the Bellas and K2 and Alicia Fox. The Bellas ended up shoving him to the ground to a little bit of a pop from the crowd who obviously did not care for Hilton being there.

1. We start off with a video package commemorating the life of Martin Luther King Jr.
2. Awesome, Mick Foley is out to start the night off

10. Ziggler asks why Foley should be allowed to take a spot in the Rumble from another superstar
11. He has kind of a good point
12. Ziggler makes a joke about Foley's kids
13. Mick still wants to perform in order win the Rumble
14. I have to say this, Vickie has really done a great job getting back in shape, she is no Eve Torres in the looks department but she is no longer the pig she was two years ago
15. Maybe all of the fat jokes actually pushed her to get healthier
16. Ziggler yells at Foley to go away
17. Punk's music hits and he comes out to a big pop

32. Remember Super Dave Osbourne? One of the best shows ever
33. They mention Epico and Primo winning the titles at a live event
34. Air Boom will get their rematch next
35. I think titles should change hands once in a while at live events, it would make people want to go more if they thought it was actually possible for someone to lose a title off of TV
36. Whoa, Rosa is looking amazing in her little semi-bondage attire
37. The Back Stabber Primo gave Bourne in the video from the live event was awesome, Bourne pretty much back flipped from it

110. His opponent is JTG in what will no doubt be another squash
111. This match was ridiculous in every way and I loved every second of it
